< Genesis 26 >

1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines to Gerar.
Wana nzala makasi ekotaki lisusu na mokili lokola na tango ya Abrayami, Izaki akendeki na Gerari epai ya Abimeleki, mokonzi ya bato ya Filisitia.
2 And the LORD appeared to him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
Boye Yawe abimelaki ye mpe ayebisaki ye: — Kokende na Ejipito te! Vanda na mokili oyo nakolakisa yo.
3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for to thee, and to thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father;
Vanda kati na mokili oyo; nakozala na yo elongo mpe nakopambola yo, pamba te nakopesa mabele oyo nyonso epai na yo mpe epai ya bana na yo; nakokokisa ndayi oyo nalapaki epai ya Abrayami, tata na yo.
4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give to thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
Nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele lokola minzoto ya likolo mpe nakopesa bango mabele oyo nyonso. Boye mpo na bakitani na yo, bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekomipambola.
5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
Nakosala yango mpo ete Abrayami atosaki Ngai, abatelaki bikateli na Ngai, mitindo na Ngai mpe mibeko na Ngai.
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
Boye, Izaki avandaki na Gerari.
7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
Tango bato ya esika wana batunaki ye na tina na mwasi na ye, azongisaki: — Azali ndeko na ngai ya mwasi. Azalaki koloba te ete azali mwasi na ye mpo ete azalaki kobanga ete bato ya mboka baboma ye mpo na Rebeka, pamba te azalaki penza kitoko.
8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
Tango awumelaki na mboka yango, Abimeleki, mokonzi ya bato ya Filisitia, atalaki wuta na lininisa mpe amonaki Izaki kosakana na mwasi na ye Rebeka.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, surely she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I should die on her account.
Bongo Abimeleki abengisaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: — Rebeka azali solo mwasi na yo. Mpo na nini olobaki: « Azali ndeko na ngai ya mwasi? » Izaki azongisaki: — Kati na ngai, nazalaki koloba ete nakokaki kokufa mpo na ye.
10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done to us? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
Abimeleki alobaki lisusu: — Nasali bino likambo nini? Etikalaki kaka moke ete mobali moko kati na bato na ngai akota mpe asangisa nzoto na mwasi na yo. Boye, olingaki komemisa biso ngambo.
11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
Abimeleki apesaki mitindo na bato nyonso: — Moto nyonso oyo akosala mabe na moto oyo mpe na mwasi na ye, akokufa.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
Izaki alonaki mbuma na mabele oyo mpe abukaki monkama na monkama na oyo alonaki, pamba te Yawe apambolaki ye.
13 And the man became great, and continued, and grew until he became very great:
Izaki akomaki mozwi, mpe bozwi na ye ekobaki kaka komata kino akomaki moto na bozwi ebele.
14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and very many servants: and the Philistines envied him.
Bato ya Filisitia bakomaki koyokela ye likunya, pamba te azalaki na bameme ebele, bantaba ebele, bangombe ebele mpe basali ebele.
15 For all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
Boye bato ya Filisitia bakundaki mabulu nyonso oyo basali ya Abrayami, tata na ye, batimolaki tango azalaki nanu na bomoi mpe batondisaki yango na mabele.
16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
Bongo Abimeleki alobaki na Izaki: — Kende mosika na biso, pamba te okomi na nguya mingi koleka biso.
17 And Isaac departed from there, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Izaki alongwaki wana mpe akendeki kotonga ndako na ye ya kapo na lubwaku ya Gerari epai wapi avandaki.
18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Atimolaki lisusu mabulu ya mayi oyo batimolaki na tango ya tata na ye Abrayami. Mabulu yango ezalaki bato ya Filisitia nde bakundaki yango sima na kufa ya Abrayami, mpe Izaki abengaki yango kaka na bakombo oyo tata na ye Abrayami apesaka yango.
19 And Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Basali ya Izaki batimolaki na lubwaku mpe bamonaki kuna libulu ya mayi ya peto.
20 And the herdmen of Gerar contended with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
Babateli bibwele ya Gerari baswanisaki babateli bibwele ya Izaki mpe balobaki na bango: « Mayi oyo ezali ya biso. » Izaki apesaki libulu yango kombo « Eseki, » pamba te baswanisaki ye na tina na yango.
21 And they dug another well, and contended for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
Batimolaki libulu mosusu, kasi baswanisaki ye lisusu na tina na yango, mpe apesaki yango kombo « Sitina. »
22 And he departed from there, and dug another well; and for that they did not contend: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
Alongwaki wana mpe akendeki kotimola libulu mosusu; mpe moto moko te aswanisaki ye na tina na yango. Yango wana apesaki yango kombo « Reoboti, » pamba te alobaki: « Sik’oyo, Yawe apesi biso esika monene, mpe tokofuluka na mokili oyo. »
23 And he went up from there to Beersheba.
Kolongwa wana, akendeki na Beri-Sheba.
24 And the LORD appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
Na butu ya mokolo oyo Izaki akomaki na Beri-Sheba, Yawe abimelaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: « Nazali Nzambe ya Abrayami, tata na yo; kobanga te, nazali elongo na yo. Mpo na Abrayami, mosali na Ngai, nakopambola yo mpe nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele. »
25 And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.
Kaka na esika yango, Izaki atongaki etumbelo, abelelaki Kombo ya Yawe, atongaki ndako na ye ya kapo. Basali na ye batimolaki libulu mosusu ya mayi.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
Wuta na Gerari, Abimeleki elongo na Awuzati, mopesi toli na ye, mpe Pikoli, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye, bayaki kokutana na Izaki.
27 And Isaac said to them, Why come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
Izaki atunaki bango: — Mpo na nini boyei epai na ngai, bino bato oyo bolingaka ngai te mpe bobenganaki ngai epai na bino?
28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
Bazongiselaki ye: — Tomoni ya solo ete Yawe azali elongo na yo, yango wana tolobaki: « Tika ete tosala boyokani kati na biso mpe yo na nzela ya ndayi.
29 That thou wilt do us no harm, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done to thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
Lapa ndayi ete okosala biso mabe te ndenge biso mpe tosalaki yo mabe te; tosalelaki yo kaka bolamu mpe totikaki yo kokende na kimia. Sik’oyo, Yawe apamboli yo. »
30 And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Izaki asalelaki bango feti monene; baliaki mpe bamelaki.
31 And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, balapanaki ndayi; bongo Izaki abimisaki bango na nzela mpe atikaki bango kokende na kimia.
32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.
Kaka na mokolo yango, basali ya Izaki bayaki kopesa ye sango ete bamoni mayi na libulu oyo bazalaki kotimola.
33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
Izaki apesaki libulu yango kombo « Sheba. » Yango wana engumba yango ebengami kino lelo Beri-Sheba.
34 And Esau was forty years old when he took for a wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Tango Ezawu akokisaki mibu tuku minei ya mbotama, abalaki Jiditi, mwana mwasi ya Beri, moto ya mokili ya Iti, mpe Basimati, mwana mwasi ya Eloni, moto ya mokili ya Iti.
35 Who were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah.
Basi yango bazalaki koyokisa Izaki mpe Rebeka pasi na motema.
