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 is a famine in the land, besides the first famine which was in the days of Abraham, and Isaac goes to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
2 Boye Yawe abimelaki ye mpe ayebisaki ye: — Kokende na Ejipito te! Vanda na mokili oyo nakolakisa yo.
And YHWH appears to him and says, “Do not go down toward Egypt, dwell in the land concerning which I speak to you,
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 am with you, and bless you, for to you and to your seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to your father Abraham;
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 have multiplied your seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to your seed all these lands; and all nations of the earth have blessed themselves in your Seed;
5 Nakosala yango mpo ete Abrayami atosaki Ngai, abatelaki bikateli na Ngai, mitindo na Ngai mpe mibeko na Ngai.
because that Abraham has listened to My voice, and keeps My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.”
6 Boye, Izaki avandaki na Gerari.
And Isaac dwells 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 men of the place ask him of his wife, and he says, “She [is] my sister”: for he has been afraid to say, “My wife—lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is] of good 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 comes to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looks through the window, and sees, and behold, Isaac is playing with his wife Rebekah.
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 calls for Isaac and says, “Behold, she [is] surely your wife; and how could you have said, She [is] my sister?” And Isaac says to him, “Because I said, Lest I 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 says, “What [is] this you have done to us? As a little thing one of the people had lain with your wife, and you had brought on us guilt”;
11 Abimeleki apesaki mitindo na bato nyonso: — Moto nyonso oyo akosala mabe na moto oyo mpe na mwasi na ye, akokufa.
and Abimelech commands all the people, saying, “He who comes against this man or against his wife, dying does die.”
12 Izaki alonaki mbuma na mabele oyo mpe abukaki monkama na monkama na oyo alonaki, pamba te Yawe apambolaki ye.
And Isaac sows in that land, and finds in that year a hundredfold, and YHWH blesses him;
13 Izaki akomaki mozwi, mpe bozwi na ye ekobaki kaka komata kino akomaki moto na bozwi ebele.
and the man is great, and goes on, going on and becoming great, until he has been 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 has possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy 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 dug in the days of his father Abraham, the Philistines have stopped them, and fill them with dust.
16 Bongo Abimeleki alobaki na Izaki: — Kende mosika na biso, pamba te okomi na nguya mingi koleka biso.
And Abimelech says to Isaac, “Go from us; for you have 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 goes from there, and encamps in the Valley of Gerar, and dwells 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 turns back, and digs the wells of water which they dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines have stopped after the death of Abraham, and he calls to them names according to the names which his father called them.
19 Basali ya Izaki batimolaki na lubwaku mpe bamonaki kuna libulu ya mayi ya peto.
And Isaac’s servants dig in the valley, and find 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 shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, “The water [is] ours”; and he calls the name of the well “Strife,” because they have striven habitually with him;
21 Batimolaki libulu mosusu, kasi baswanisaki ye lisusu na tina na yango, mpe apesaki yango kombo « Sitina. »
and they dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calls its name “Hatred.”
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 removes from there, and digs another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calls its name “Enlargements,” and says, “For—now has YHWH given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.”
23 Kolongwa wana, akendeki na Beri-Sheba.
And he goes 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 YHWH appears to him during that night and says, “I [am] the God of your father Abraham, do not fear, for I [am] with you, and have blessed you, and have multiplied your seed, because of My servant Abraham”;
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 builds there an altar, and preaches in the Name of YHWH, and stretches out there his tent, and there Isaac’s servants dig 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.
And Abimelech has gone to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol head of his host;
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 says to them, “Why have you come to me, and you have hated me, and you send 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 say, “We have certainly seen that YHWH has been with you, and we say, Now let there be an oath between us, between us and you, and let us 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. »
do no evil with us, as we have not touched you, and as we have only done good with you, and send you away in peace; you [are] now blessed of YHWH.”
30 Izaki asalelaki bango feti monene; baliaki mpe bamelaki.
And he makes a banquet for them, and they eat and drink,
31 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, balapanaki ndayi; bongo Izaki abimisaki bango na nzela mpe atikaki bango kokende na kimia.
and rise early in the morning, and swear to one another, and Isaac sends them away, and they go 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 comes to pass during that day that Isaac’s servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances of the well which they have dug, and say to him, “We have found water”;
33 Izaki apesaki libulu yango kombo « Sheba. » Yango wana engumba yango ebengami kino lelo Beri-Sheba.
and he calls it Shebah, [oath, ] therefore the name of the city [is] Beer-Sheba, [Well of the Oath, ] to 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 is a son of forty years, and he takes a wife, Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite,
35 Basi yango bazalaki koyokisa Izaki mpe Rebeka pasi na motema.
and they are a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
