Genesis 35
1 And God saith unto Jacob, 'Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared unto thee in thy fleeing from the face of Esau thy brother.'
Nzambe alobaki na Jakobi: « Kende na Beteli, vanda kuna mpe tonga kuna etumbelo mpo na Nzambe oyo abimelaki yo tango ozalaki kokima ndeko na yo Ezawu. »
2 And Jacob saith unto his household, and unto all who [are] with him, 'Turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;
Jakobi alobaki na bato ya libota na ye mpe na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na ye elongo: « Bolongola banzambe ya bapaya oyo ezali kati na bino, bomipetola mpe bolata bilamba mosusu.
3 and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my distress, and is with me in the way that I have gone.'
Tokomata na Beteli epai wapi nakotonga etumbelo mpo na Nzambe oyo ayanolaki ngai na mokolo oyo nazalaki na pasi mpe azalaki elongo na ngai bisika nyonso oyo nazalaki kokende. »
4 And they give unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger that [are] in their hand, and the rings that [are] in their ears, and Jacob hideth them under the oak which [is] by Shechem;
Bapesaki Jakobi banzambe nyonso ya bapaya, oyo bazalaki na yango mpe biloko na bango ya matoyi. Boye Jakobi akundaki yango na se ya nzete ya terebente oyo ezalaki pene ya Sishemi.
5 and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which [are] round about them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.
Sima, bakendeki. Kanda na Nzambe ekweyelaki bingumba nyonso ya zingazinga na bango, mpe moko te alandaki bana mibali ya Jakobi.
6 And Jacob cometh in to Luz which [is] in the land of Canaan (it [is] Bethel), he and all the people who [are] with him,
Jakobi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bakomaki na Luze, oyo ezali Beteli, kati na mokili ya Kanana.
7 and he buildeth there an altar, and proclaimeth at the place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed unto him, in his fleeing from the face of his brother.
Kuna nde atongaki etumbelo mpe abengaki esika yango « Eli Beteli, » pamba te ezalaki kuna nde Nzambe amimonisaki epai na ye tango azalaki kokima ndeko na ye.
8 And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, dieth, and she is buried at the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calleth its name 'Oak of weeping.'
Ezalaki wana nde Debora, mama mobokoli ya Rebeka, akufaki. Bakundaki ye pembeni ya Beteli, na se ya nzete oyo, wuta na tango wana, bakomaki kobenga « Aloni-Bakuti. »
9 And God appeareth unto Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesseth him;
Nzambe abimelaki lisusu Jakobi tango azongaki wuta na Padani-Arami mpe apambolaki ye.
10 and God saith to him, 'Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel is thy name;' and He calleth his name Israel.
Nzambe alobaki na ye: « Kombo na yo ezali Jakobi; kasi okobengama lisusu Jakobi te, kombo na yo ekomi Isalaele. » Yango wana Nzambe apesaki ye kombo « Isalaele. »
11 And God saith to him, 'I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from thee, and kings from thy loins go out;
Nzambe alobaki na ye lisusu: « Nazali Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso. Bota bana mpe bokoma ebele; bokoma ekolo moko mpe bikolo ebele ekobima na nzela na yo, bakonzi bakobima kati na yo.
12 and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac — to thee I give it, yea to thy seed after thee I give the land.'
Mokili oyo napesaki na Abrayami mpe na Izaki, napesi yango mpe na yo. Nakopesa yango lisusu na bakitani na yo. »
13 And God goeth up from him, in the place where He hath spoken with him.
Sima, Nzambe atikaki ye na esika oyo asololaki na ye.
14 And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the place where He hath spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he poureth on it an oblation, and he poureth on it oil;
Jakobi atelemisaki libanga ya elembo na esika oyo Nzambe asololaki na ye; asopaki likolo ya libanga yango likabo ya masanga mpe mafuta.
15 and Jacob calleth the name of the place where God spake with him Bethel.
Jakobi apesaki esika oyo Nzambe asololaki na ye kombo « Beteli. »
16 And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a kibrath of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel beareth, and is sharply pained in her bearing;
Jakobi mpe libota na ye balongwaki na Beteli. Wana bazalaki nanu mwa mosika na Efrata, Rasheli abotaki, kasi na pasi makasi.
17 and it cometh to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife saith to her, 'Fear not, for this also [is] a son for thee.'
Lokola azalaki na pasi makasi ya kobota, mwasi mobotisi ayebisaki ye: « Kobanga te! Pamba te ozali na mwana mobali mosusu. »
18 And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;
Lokola azalaki kobundana mpo na kokufa, liboso ya kokata motema, apesaki mwana na ye ya mobali kombo Beni-Oni. Kasi tata na ye apesaki ye kombo Benjame.
19 and Rachel dieth, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Bethlehem,
Rasheli akufaki mpe bakundaki ye na nzela ya Efrata, elingi koloba Beteleemi.
20 and Jacob setteth up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
Jakobi atelemisaki libanga ya elembo likolo ya kunda ya Rasheli; mpe kino lelo oyo, libanga wana ya elembo elakisaka kunda ya Rasheli.
21 And Israel journeyeth, and stretcheth out his tent beyond the tower of Edar;
Sima, Isalaele alongwaki mpe akendeki kotonga ndako na ye ya kapo mosika ya Migidali-Ederi.
22 and it cometh to pass in Israel's dwelling in that land, that Reuben goeth, and lieth with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heareth.
Wana Isalaele azalaki kowumela na mokili wana, Ribeni ayaki kuna mpe asangisaki nzoto na Bila, makangu ya tata na ye; mpe Isalaele ayokaki yango. Jakobi azalaki na bana mibali zomi na mibale:
23 And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob's first-born Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
Bana mibali ya Lea: Ribeni, mwana mobali ya liboso ya Jakobi; Simeoni, Levi, Yuda, Isakari mpe Zabuloni.
24 Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Bana mibali ya Rasheli: Jozefi mpe Benjame.
25 And sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant: Dan and Naphtali.
Bana mibali ya Bila, mwasi mosali ya Rasheli: Dani mpe Nefitali.
26 And sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant: Gad and Asher. These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.
Bana mibali ya Zilipa, mwasi mosali ya Lea: Gadi mpe Aseri. Bango nde bana mibali ya Jakobi oyo babotelaki ye na Padani-Arami.
27 And Jacob cometh unto Isaac his father, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.
Jakobi azongaki epai ya Izaki, tata na ye, na Mamire, pene ya Kiriati-Ariba oyo ebengami Ebron, epai wapi Abrayami mpe Izaki bazalaki kovanda.
28 And the days of Isaac are a hundred and eighty years,
Izaki awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama moko na tuku mwambe.
29 and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people, aged and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and Jacob his sons.
Sima, Izaki akataki motema mpe akufaki; awumelaki na bomoi mibu ebele, akomaki mobange mpe alandaki bakoko na ye. Bana na ye ya mibali, Ezawu mpe Jakobi, bakundaki ye.
