Ebandeli 28
1 Bongo Izaki abengaki Jakobi, apambolaki ye mpe apesaki ye mitindo oyo: « Okobala mwasi te kati na bana basi ya Kanana.
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 Telema! Kende mbala moko na Padani-Arami, na ndako ya koko na yo, Betweli, tata ya mama na yo. Zwa mwasi kuna kati na bana basi ya Labani, ndeko ya mama na yo.
Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
3 Tika ete Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso apambola yo, apesa yo bana, akomisa bana na yo ebele mpe okoma lisanga monene ya bato.
And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a company of peoples;
4 Tika ete apesa na yo mpe na bakitani na yo lipamboli oyo apesaki na Abrayami mpo ete okamata mokili oyo ozali kovanda lokola mopaya, mokili oyo Nzambe apesaki na Abrayami. »
and give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojournings, which God gave unto Abraham.
5 Izaki atindaki Jakobi na nzela na ye, mpe Jakobi akendeki na Padani-Arami epai ya Labani, mwana mobali ya moto ya Arami, Betweli, mpe ndeko mobali ya Rebeka, mama ya Ezawu mpe Jakobi.
And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Paddan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
6 Ezawu ayokaki ete Izaki apambolaki Jakobi mpe atindaki ye na Padani-Arami mpo na kobala mwasi; ayokaki mpe ete, tango apambolaki ye, apesaki ye mitindo oyo: « Okobala mwasi te kati na bana basi ya Kanana. »
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
7 Jakobi atosaki tata na ye mpe mama na ye, mpe akendeki na Padani-Arami.
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan-aram:
8 Bongo Ezawu asosolaki ete Izaki, tata na ye, azalaki kosepela te na bana basi ya Kanana.
and Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
9 Boye Ezawu akendeki epai ya Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Abrayami, mpe abalaki, kobakisa na basi oyo azalaki na bango, Maalati, ndeko mwasi ya Nebayoti.
and Esau went unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10 Jakobi alongwaki na Beri-Sheba mpe akendeki na Arani.
And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
11 Tango akomaki na esika moko, apemaki mpo na kolekisa butu. Azwaki libanga moko kati na mabanga oyo ezalaki na esika yango, atiaki yango na se ya moto na ye mpe alalaki.
And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 Na se ya pongi, alotaki ndoto: Amonaki ematelo moko ebanda na mabele mpe songe na yango etutaki likolo. Ba-anjelu ya Nzambe bazalaki komata mpe kokita na ematelo yango.
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13 Mpe Yawe atelemaki likolo ya ematelo mpe alobaki na ye: « Nazali Yawe, Nzambe ya koko na yo Abrayami mpe Nzambe ya Izaki. Nakopesa epai na yo mpe na bana na yo mabele oyo, esika olali.
And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 Bana na yo bakozala ebele lokola putulu ya mabele, bakopanzana na bangambo nyonso: wuta na weste kino na este, wuta na nor kino na sude. Mabota nyonso ya mokili ekomipambola mpo na yo mpe mpo na bakitani na yo.
and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 Nazali elongo na yo, nakobatela yo bisika nyonso oyo okokende mpe nakozongisa yo na mabele oyo, nakotika yo te kino nakokokisa makambo nyonso oyo nalakaki yo. »
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
16 Tango Jakobi alamukaki na pongi, alobaki: « Ya solo penza, Yawe azali na esika oyo mpe ngai nayebaki yango te! »
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
17 Jakobi abangaki mpe abakisaki: « Oyo esika ya somo boye! Ekoki kozala eloko mosusu te, bobele Ndako ya Nzambe. Awa nde ekuke ya lola. »
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 Na tongo-tongo, Jakobi azwaki libanga oyo atiaki moto, atelemisaki yango lokola elembo mpe asopaki mafuta na songe na yango.
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 Apesaki esika yango kombo « Beteli. » Na kala, bazalaka kobenga esika yango « Luze. »
And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
20 Bongo Jakobi akataki ndayi na koloba: « Soki Nzambe akozala elongo na ngai mpe akobatela ngai na mobembo oyo nazali kosala, mpe soki akopesa ngai bilei mpe bilamba ya kolata;
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 soki nazongi na kimia na ndako ya tata na ngai, wana Yawe akozala Nzambe na ngai,
so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then shall the LORD be my God,
22 libanga oyo natelemisi lokola elembo ekokoma Ndako ya Nzambe mpe nakopesa Ye eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo akopesa ngai. »
and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
