Ebandeli 26
1 Wana nzala makasi ekotaki lisusu na mokili lokola na tango ya Abrayami, Izaki akendeki na Gerari epai ya Abimeleki, mokonzi ya bato ya Filisitia.
And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.
2 Boye Yawe abimelaki ye mpe ayebisaki ye: — Kokende na Ejipito te! Vanda na mokili oyo nakolakisa yo.
And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell you of.
3 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.
And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam.
4 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.
And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed.
5 Nakosala yango mpo ete Abrayami atosaki Ngai, abatelaki bikateli na Ngai, mitindo na Ngai mpe mibeko na Ngai.
Because Abraam your father listened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.
6 Boye, Izaki avandaki na Gerari.
And Isaac lived in Gerara.
7 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.
And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should kill him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.
8 Tango awumelaki na mboka yango, Abimeleki, mokonzi ya bato ya Filisitia, atalaki wuta na lininisa mpe amonaki Izaki kosakana na mwasi na ye Rebeka.
And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.
9 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.
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then your wife? why have you said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.
10 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.
And Abimelech said to him, Why have you done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with your wife, and you would have brought [a sin of] ignorance upon us.
11 Abimeleki apesaki mitindo na bato nyonso: — Moto nyonso oyo akosala mabe na moto oyo mpe na mwasi na ye, akokufa.
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.
12 Izaki alonaki mbuma na mabele oyo mpe abukaki monkama na monkama na oyo alonaki, pamba te Yawe apambolaki ye.
And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.
13 Izaki akomaki mozwi, mpe bozwi na ye ekobaki kaka komata kino akomaki moto na bozwi ebele.
And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
14 Bato ya Filisitia bakomaki koyokela ye likunya, pamba te azalaki na bameme ebele, bantaba ebele, bangombe ebele mpe basali ebele.
And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.
15 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.
And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 Bongo Abimeleki alobaki na Izaki: — Kende mosika na biso, pamba te okomi na nguya mingi koleka biso.
And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for you are become much mightier than we.
17 Izaki alongwaki wana mpe akendeki kotonga ndako na ye ya kapo na lubwaku ya Gerari epai wapi avandaki.
And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and lived there.
18 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.
And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.
19 Basali ya Izaki batimolaki na lubwaku mpe bamonaki kuna libulu ya mayi ya peto.
And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.
20 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.
And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him.
21 Batimolaki libulu mosusu, kasi baswanisaki ye lisusu na tina na yango, mpe apesaki yango kombo « Sitina. »
And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.
22 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. »
And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.
23 Kolongwa wana, akendeki na Beri-Sheba.
And he went up thence to the well of the oath.
24 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. »
And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam your father; fear not, for I am with you, and I will bless you, and multiply your seed for the sake of Abraam your father.
25 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.
And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.
26 Wuta na Gerari, Abimeleki elongo na Awuzati, mopesi toli na ye, mpe Pikoli, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye, bayaki kokutana na Izaki.
And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.
27 Izaki atunaki bango: — Mpo na nini boyei epai na ngai, bino bato oyo bolingaka ngai te mpe bobenganaki ngai epai na bino?
And Isaac said to them, Therefore have you come to me? whereas you hated me, and sent me away from you.
28 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.
And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with you, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and we will make a covenant with you,
29 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. »
that you shall do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred you, and according as we have treated you well, and have sent you forth peaceably; and now you are blessed of the Lord.
30 Izaki asalelaki bango feti monene; baliaki mpe bamelaki.
And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, balapanaki ndayi; bongo Izaki abimisaki bango na nzela mpe atikaki bango kokende na kimia.
And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbor; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.
32 Kaka na mokolo yango, basali ya Izaki bayaki kopesa ye sango ete bamoni mayi na libulu oyo bazalaki kotimola.
And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.
33 Izaki apesaki libulu yango kombo « Sheba. » Yango wana engumba yango ebengami kino lelo Beri-Sheba.
And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.
34 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.
And Esau was forty years old; and he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.
35 Basi yango bazalaki koyokisa Izaki mpe Rebeka pasi na motema.
And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
