Ebandeli 30

1 Tango Rasheli amonaki ete azali kobotela Jakobi bana te, akomaki na zuwa mpo na ndeko na ye ya mwasi. Boye alobaki na Jakobi: — Pesa ngai bana, noki te nakokufa.

And when Rahel saw that she bare Iaakob no children, Rahel enuied her sister, and said vnto Iaakob, Giue me children, or els I dye.

2 Jakobi asilikaki makasi mpo na Rasheli mpe alobaki: — Boni, ngai nakomi nde Nzambe oyo akangi yo mabota?

Then Iaakobs anger was kindled against Rahel, and he sayde, Am I in Gods steade, which hath withholden from thee the fruite of the wombe?

3 Rasheli alobaki: — Tala Bila, mwasi mowumbu na ngai; sangisa na ye nzoto mpo ete abotela ngai bana, mpe na nzela na ye, ngai mpe nakoka kotonga libota.

And she said, Behold my maide Bilhah, goe in to her, and she shall beare vpon my knees, and I shall haue children also by her.

4 Rasheli apesaki ye Bila, mwasi mosali na ye, mpo ete akoma mwasi na ye. Jakobi asangisaki na ye nzoto,

Then shee gaue him Bilhah her mayde to wife, and Iaakob went in to her.

5 mpe Bila akomaki na zemi. Abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali.

So Bilhah conceiued and bare Iaakob a sonne.

6 Rasheli alobaki: « Nzambe alongisi ngai, ayoki kolela na ngai mpe apesi ngai mwana mobali. » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Dani. »

Then said Rahel, God hath giuen sentence on my side, and hath also heard my voyce, and hath giuen mee a sonne: therefore called shee his name, Dan.

7 Sima na yango, Bila, mwasi mosali ya Rasheli, azwaki lisusu zemi mpe abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali ya mibale.

And Bilhah Rahels maide coceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the second sonne.

8 Rasheli alobaki: « Nabundisi ndeko na ngai ya mwasi bitumba ya Nzambe mpe nalongi. » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Nefitali. »

Then Rahel said, with excellent wrestlings haue I wrestled with my sister, and haue gotten the vpper hande: and shee called his name, Naphtali.

9 Tango Lea amonaki ete azali kobota lisusu te, azwaki Zilipa, mwasi mosali na ye, mpe apesaki ye epai ya Jakobi mpo ete akoma mwasi na ye.

And when Leah saw that she had left bearing, shee tooke Zilpah her mayde, and gaue her Iaakob to wife.

10 Zilipa, mwasi mosali ya Lea, abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali.

And Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob a sonne.

11 Lea alobaki: « Oyo nde esengo! » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Gadi. »

Then sayd Leah, A companie commeth: and she called his name, Gad.

12 Sima na yango, Zilipa, mwasi mosali ya Lea, abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali ya mibale.

Againe Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob another sonne.

13 Lea alobaki: « Oyo esengo ya ndenge nini nakomi na yango! Pamba te basi bakobenga ngai moto ya esengo. » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Aseri. »

Then sayde Leah, Ah, blessed am I, for the daughters will blesse me. and she called his name, Asher.

14 Na eleko ya kokata ble, Ribeni akendeki na bilanga mpe amonaki bambuma ya mandragore; amemelaki yango Lea, mama na ye. Bongo Rasheli alobaki na Lea: — Nabondeli yo, pesa ngai ndambo ya bambuma ya mandragore oyo mwana na yo amemaki.

Nowe Reuben went in the dayes of the wheateharuest, and founde mandrakes in the fielde and brought them vnto his mother Leah. Then sayde Rahel to Leah, Giue me, I pray thee, of thy sonnes mandrakes.

15 Kasi Lea azongiselaki ye: — Boni, ndenge ozwi mobali na ngai, ekoki te? Olingi lisusu kozwa bambuma ya mandragore ya mwana na ngai? Rasheli alobaki na ye: — Malamu! Soki opesi ngai bambuma ya mandragore ya mwana na yo, Jakobi akolala epai na yo na butu ya lelo.

But shee answered her, Is it a small matter for thee to take mine husband, except thou take my sonnes mandrakes also? Then sayde Rahel, Therefore he shall sleepe with thee this night for thy sonnes mandrakes.

16 Na pokwa, wana Jakobi awutaki bilanga, Lea akendeki kokutana na ye mpe alobaki na ye: « Okolala epai na ngai, pamba te napesi bambuma ya mandragore ya mwana na ngai mpo na yo. » Boye Jakobi asangisaki na ye nzoto na butu wana.

And Iaakob came from the fielde in the euening, and Leah went out to meete him, and sayde, Come in to mee, for I haue bought and payed for thee with my sonnes mandrakes: and he slept with her that night.

17 Nzambe ayokelaki Lea mawa, akomaki na zemi mpe abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali ya mitano.

And God heard Leah and shee conceiued, and bare vnto Iaakob the fift sonne.

18 Lea alobaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai lifuti na ngai lokola napesaki mosali na ngai ya mwasi epai ya mobali na ngai. » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Isakari. »

Then said Leah, God hath giuen me my reward, because I gaue my mayde to my husband, and she called his name Issachar.

19 Lea azwaki lisusu zemi mpe abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali ya motoba.

After, Leah conceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the sixt sonne.

20 Lea alobaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai likabo ya motuya. Sik’oyo, mobali na ngai akopesa ngai lokumu mpo ete naboteli ye bana mibali motoba. » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Zabuloni. »

Then Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowrie: nowe will mine husband dwell with me, because I haue borne him sixe sonnes: and she called his name Zebulun.

21 Sima na mikolo, abotaki lisusu mwana mwasi mpe apesaki ye kombo « Dina. »

After that, shee bare a daughter, and shee called her name Dinah.

22 Nzambe akaniselaki Rasheli, ayokaki kolela na ye mpe afungolaki ye mabota.

And God remembred Rahel, and God heard her, and opened her wombe.

23 Akomaki na zemi, abotaki mwana mobali mpe alobaki: « Nzambe alongoli soni na ngai. »

So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and said, God hath taken away my rebuke.

24 Apesaki ye kombo « Jozefi, » mpe alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe abakisela ngai mwana mosusu ya mobali! »

And shee called his name Ioseph, saying, The Lord wil giue me yet another sonne.

25 Sima na Rasheli kobota Jozefi, Jakobi alobaki na Labani: — Pesa ngai nzela mpo ete nazonga na mboka na ngai.

And assoone as Rahel had borne Ioseph, Iaakob said to Laban, Sende me away that I may go vnto my place and to my countrey.

26 Pesa ngai mpe basi mpe bana na ngai, ba-oyo mpo na bango nasaleli yo; bongo nakokende na ngai. Pamba te oyebi malamu mosala makasi oyo nasaleli yo.

Giue me my wiues and my children, for whom I haue serued thee, and let me go: for thou knowest what seruice I haue done thee.

27 Kasi Labani alobaki na ye: — Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na yo, nabondeli yo, kokende te; pamba te nasosoli na bosoloka ete Yawe apamboli ngai na nzela na yo.

To whom Laban answered, If I haue nowe found fauour in thy sight tarie: I haue perceiued that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.

28 Abakisaki: — Katela ngai lifuti na yo mpe nakofuta yo yango.

Also he said, Appoynt vnto me thy wages, and I will giue it thee.

29 Jakobi alobaki na ye: — Oyebi yo moko ndenge nini ngai nasaleli yo mpe ndenge nini, na nzela na ngai, bibwele na yo ekomi ebele.

But he sayd vnto him, Thou knowest, what seruice I haue done thee, and in what taking thy cattell hath bene vnder me.

30 Moke oyo ozalaki na yango, liboso ete ngai naya, ekomi ebele penza. Yawe apamboli yo na nzela na ngai. Kasi sik’oyo, nakosala tango nini mpo na libota na ngai moko?

For the litle, that thou haddest before I came, is increased into a multitude: and the Lord hath blessed thee by my comming: but nowe when shall I trauell for mine owne house also?

31 Labani atunaki ye: — Nasengeli kopesa yo nini? Jakobi azongisaki: — Okopesa ngai eloko te. Kasi soki olingi kosala likambo oyo mpo na ngai, nakokoba koleisa mpe kobatela bibwele na yo.

Then he saide, What shall I giue thee? And Iaakob answered, Thou shalt giue mee nothing at all: if thou wilt doe this thing for mee, I will returne, feede, and keepe thy sheepe.

32 Lelo, nakoleka na kati-kati ya bibwele na yo, nakolongola kati na bana meme, bameme nyonso ya madodo-madodo mpe oyo ezali ya banzela-nzela ya mwindo; mpe lisusu kati na bantaba nyonso ya madodo-madodo mpe ya banzela-nzela ya pembe. Wana nde ezala lifuti na ngai.

I wil passe through all thy flockes this day, and separate from them all the sheepe with litle spots and great spots, and al blacke lambes among the sheepe, and the great spotted, and litle spotted among the goates: and it shalbe my wages.

33 Boye bosembo na ngai ekomonana sima na mikolo tango okoya kotala lifuti na ngai. Soki omoni epai na ngai ntaba ezanga madodo to ezanga banzela ya pembe to mwana meme ezanga madodo to ezanga banzela ya mwindo, wana ekozala lokola nayibi yango.

So shall my righteousnesse answere for me hereafter, when it shall come for my rewarde before thy face, and euery one that hath not litle or great spots among the goates, and blacke among the sheepe, the same shalbe theft with me.

34 Labani alobaki: — Iyo! Tika ete ezala ndenge olobi.

Then Laban sayde, Goe to, woulde God it might be according to thy saying.

35 Kaka na mokolo wana, Labani alongolaki kati na bibwele, bantaba ya mibali ya madodo-madodo mpe ya banzela-nzela ya pembe, bantaba nyonso ya basi ya madodo-madodo mpe ya banzela-nzela ya pembe, mpe bibwele nyonso oyo ezalaki mwa pembe mpe mwa mwindo kati na bana meme. Apesaki yango na maboko ya bana na ye ya mibali.

Therefore he tooke out the same day the hee goates that were partie coloured and with great spots, and all the shee goates with litle and great spots, and all that had white in them, and all the blacke among the sheepe, and put them in the keeping of his sonnes.

36 Sima, Labani atambolaki mikolo misato mpo na kokabwana na Jakobi, wana Jakobi akobaki kobatela ndambo ya bibwele ya Labani oyo etikalaki.

And hee set three dayes iourney betweene himselfe and Iaakob. And Iaakob kept the rest of Labans sheepe.

37 Jakobi azwaki bitape ya mobesu ya nzete ya pepiliye, ya amande mpe ya platane.

Then Iaakob tooke rods of greene popular, and of hasell, and of the chesnut tree, and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appeare in the rods.

38 Bongo atiaki kati na basani mpe kati na bimelelo, liboso ya bibwele, bitape oyo apalolaki, na esika oyo bibwele ezalaki koya komela mayi. Wana bibwele ya basi ezalaki koyoka posa ya mayi, ezalaki mpe koyoka posa ya kosangisa nzoto na bibwele ya mibali.

Then he put the rods, which he had pilled, in the gutters and watering troughes, when the sheepe came to drink, before the sheepe. (for they were in heate, when they came to drinke)

39 Boye, bibwele ezalaki koya kosangisa nzoto liboso ya bitape wana; mpe tango ezalaki kobota, bana na yango ezalaki na banzela-nzela ya pembe, banzela-nzela ya mwindo mpe madodo-madodo.

And the sheepe were in heate before the rods, and afterward brought forth yong of partie colour, and with small and great spots.

40 Jakobi atiaki pembeni bana meme mpe atindaki yango na esika oyo bana meme ya nzela-nzela mpe ya mwa mwindo ezalaki; pamba te yango ezalaki kobotama mingi kati na bibwele ya Labani. Ezali boye nde akomaki na bibwele ya ye moko oyo asangisaki te na bibwele ya Labani.

And Iaakob parted these lambes, and turned the faces of the flocke towardes these lambes partie coloured and all maner of blacke, among the sheepe of Laban: so hee put his owne flockes by themselues, and put them not with Labans flocke.

41 Tango nyonso bibwele ya basi, oyo ezalaki na nzoto minene, ezalaki na posa ya kosangisa nzoto, Jakobi azalaki kotia liboso ya bibwele yango bitape ya nzete kati na basani oyo yango ezalaki komelela mayi mpo ete esangisa nzoto pembeni ya bitape wana.

And in euery ramming time of the stronger sheepe, Iaakob layde the rods before the eyes of the sheepe in the gutters, that they might conceiue before the rods.

42 Kasi, na esika yango, azalaki kotia te bibwele oyo ekonda. Boye bibwele oyo ekonda ezalaki ya Labani, mpe oyo ya minene ezalaki ya Jakobi.

But when the sheepe were feeble, hee put them not in: and so the feebler were Labans, and the stronger Iaakobs.

43 Na nzela wana nde moto oyo akomaki na bozwi mingi koleka. Azwaki bibwele ebele, basali ya basi mpe ya mibali, bashamo mpe ba-ane.

So the man increased exceedingly, and had many flockes, and maide seruantes, and men seruants, and camels and asses.
