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, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham; and Isaac went unto Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.
2 Boye Yawe abimelaki ye mpe ayebisaki ye: — Kokende na Ejipito te! Vanda na mokili oyo nakolakisa yo.
And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee 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.
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, will I give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father;
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 cause thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and I will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves.
5 Nakosala yango mpo ete Abrayami atosaki Ngai, abatelaki bikateli na Ngai, mitindo na Ngai mpe mibeko na Ngai.
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 Boye, Izaki avandaki na Gerari.
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
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 asked [him] concerning 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 is of a handsome appearance.
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 it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, looked out at a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah 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, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I thought, Perhaps I may die for her.
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, What is this thou hast done unto us? How easily might one of the people have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldst have brought guiltiness 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, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Izaki alonaki mbuma na mabele oyo mpe abukaki monkama na monkama na oyo alonaki, pamba te Yawe apambolaki ye.
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundred-fold: so the Lord blessed him.
13 Izaki akomaki mozwi, mpe bozwi na ye ekobaki kaka komata kino akomaki moto na bozwi ebele.
And the man became great, and went forward and grew, until 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 possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants; and the Philistines 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 his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, these the Philistines stopped, 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 unto Isaac, Go away from us; for thou hast 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 pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt 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 they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called 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, and found there a well of springing 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 herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Essek; because they strove with him.
21 Batimolaki libulu mosusu, kasi baswanisaki ye lisusu na tina na yango, mpe apesaki yango kombo « Sitina. »
And they dug another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
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 removed from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rechoboth, and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall increase in the land.
23 Kolongwa wana, akendeki na Beri-Sheba.
And he went up from there to Beer-sheba.
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 unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraham my servant.
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 upon the name of the Lord, and pitched there his tent: and the servants of Isaac dug there a well.
26 Wuta na Gerari, Abimeleki elongo na Awuzati, mopesi toli na ye, mpe Pikoli, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye, bayaki kokutana na Izaki.
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain 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 unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing that ye do hate me, and have 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 saw clearly that the Lord was with thee; and we said, Let there be now an oath between us and thee; and we will make a covenant with thee;
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 thou shalt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now one blessed of the Lord.
30 Izaki asalelaki bango feti monene; baliaki mpe bamelaki.
And he made them a feast, 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 rose up betimes in the morning, and they swore one to the other; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
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 the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and they said unto him, We have found water.
33 Izaki apesaki libulu yango kombo « Sheba. » Yango wana engumba yango ebengami kino lelo Beri-Sheba.
And he called it Shibah: therefore is the name of the city Beer-sheba unto 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 when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Bahsemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 Basi yango bazalaki koyokisa Izaki mpe Rebeka pasi na motema.
And they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
