Ebandeli 37
1 Jakobi avandaki na mokili ya Kanana epai wapi tata na ye azalaki kovanda.
Iaakob nowe dwelt in the lande, wherein his father was a stranger, in the lande of Canaan.
2 Tala molongo ya libota ya Jakobi. Elenge mobali Jozefi azalaki na mibu zomi na sambo ya mbotama mpe azalaki kobatela bibwele. Azalaki kosala mosala yango elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali, bana ya Bila mpe ya Zilipa, basi ya tata na ye. Jozefi azalaki koyebisa tata na bango makambo mabe ya bandeko na ye.
These are the generations of Iaakob, when Ioseph was seuenteene yeere olde: he kept sheepe with his brethren, and the childe was with the sonnes of Bilhah, and with the sonnes of Zilpah, his fathers wiues. And Ioseph brought vnto their father their euill saying.
3 Isalaele azalaki kolinga Jozefi mingi koleka bana na ye nyonso, pamba te abotaki ye na kimobange. Asalelaki ye elamba ya kitoko mpe ya talo.
Nowe Israel loued Ioseph more then all his sonnes, because he begate him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 Tango bandeko na ye ya mibali bamonaki ete tata na bango azali kolinga ye koleka bango nyonso, bayinaki ye mpe bakokaki lisusu te koloba na ye na motema malamu.
So when his brethren sawe that their father loued him more then all his brethren, then they hated him, and could not speake peaceably vnto him.
5 Jozefi alotaki ndoto mpe tango ayebisaki yango epai ya bandeko na ye ya mibali, bayinaki ye lisusu makasi.
And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
6 Alobaki na bango: — Boyoka ndoto oyo nalotaki:
For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
7 « Tozalaki kokanga maboke ya ble kati na bilanga. Mbala moko, liboke na ngai elamuki mpe etelemi ngwi; bongo maboke na bino, oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya liboke na ngai, egumbamaki liboso ya liboke na ngai. »
Beholde nowe, wee were binding sheues in the middes of the field: and loe, my shefe arose and also stoode vpright, and behold, your sheues compassed rounde about, and did reuerence to my shefe.
8 Bandeko na ye ya mibali balobaki na ye: — Okanisi ete okokoma mokonzi na biso mpe okokonza biso? Bongo bayinaki ye lisusu koleka likolo ya ndoto na ye mpe likolo ya makambo oyo alobaki.
Then his brethren saide to him, What, shalt thou reigne ouer vs, and rule vs? or shalt thou haue altogether dominion ouer vs? And they hated him so much the more, for his dreames, and for his wordes.
9 Alotaki lisusu ndoto mosusu mpe ayebisaki yango epai ya bandeko na ye ya mibali. Alobaki: — Boyoka, naloti lisusu ndoto mosusu: « Namonaki moyi, sanza mpe minzoto zomi na moko kogumbama liboso na ngai. »
Againe hee dreamed an other dreame, and tolde it his brethren, and saide, Behold, I haue had one dreame more, and beholde, the Sunne and the Moone and eleuen starres did reuerence to me.
10 Tango ayebisaki tata na ye ndenge ayebisaki bandeko na ye ya mibali, tata na ye agangelaki ye mpe alobaki: — Ndoto nini wana yo osili kolota? Okanisi ete ngai, mama na yo mpe bandeko na yo ya mibali, tokoya mpe tokogumbama na mabele liboso na yo?
Then he tolde it vnto his father and to his brethren, and his father rebuked him, and saide vnto him, What is this dreame, which thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren come in deede and fall on the ground before thee?
11 Bandeko na ye ya mibali bakomaki na motema likunya epai na ye, kasi tata na ye abombaki kaka likambo yango na motema.
And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.
12 Bandeko mibali ya Jozefi bakendeki koleisa bibwele ya tata na bango pembeni ya Sishemi.
Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.
13 Isalaele alobaki na Jozefi: — Oyebi ete bandeko na yo bazali koleisa bibwele pembeni ya Sishemi; yaka, pamba te nalingi kotinda yo epai na bango. Jozefi azongisaki: — Malamu!
And Israel said vnto Ioseph, Doe not thy brethren keepe in Shechem? come and I will send thee to them.
14 Tata na ye alobaki na ye: — Kende mpe tala soki makambo nyonso ezali kotambola malamu mpo na bandeko na yo mpe mpo na bibwele, bongo omemela ngai sango. Boye, atindaki ye wuta na lubwaku ya Ebron. Wana Jozefi akomaki na Sishemi,
And he answered him, I am here. Then he saide vnto him, Goe now, see whether it bee well with thy brethren, and how the flocks prosper, and bring me word againe. so hee sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 moto moko amonaki ye tango azalaki koyengayenga na bilanga. Atunaki ye: — Ozali koluka nini?
Then a man found him: for lo, hee was wandring in the fielde, and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 Jozefi azongisaki: — Nazali koluka bandeko na ngai. Okoki koyebisa ngai esika nini bazali koleisa bibwele na bango?
And he answered, I seeke my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they keepe sheepe.
17 Moto yango azongisaki: — Balongwaki awa mpe nayokaki bango koloba: « Tokende na Dotani. » Boye Jozefi alandaki bandeko na ye mpe amonaki bango pembeni ya Dotani.
And the man said, they are departed hece: for I heard them say, Let vs goe vnto Dothan. Then went Ioseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18 Tango bango bamonaki ye na mosika liboso ete akoma pene na bango, bayokanaki mpo ete baboma ye.
And when they sawe him a farre off, euen before he came at them, they conspired against him for to slay him.
19 Balobanaki bango na bango: — Tala moloti bandoto azali koya.
For they sayd one to another, Behold, this dreamer commeth.
20 Sik’oyo, boya mpo ete toboma ye mpe tobwaka ye na moko kati na mabulu oyo. Tokoloba ete nyama mabe eliaki ye. Bongo tokotala oyo ekoya sima na bandoto na ye.
Come now therefore, and let vs slay him, and cast him into some pitte, and wee will say, A wicked beast hath deuoured him: then wee shall see, what will come of his dreames.
21 Tango Ribeni ayokaki bongo, alukaki nzela ya kokangola ye na maboko na bango. Alobaki: — Toboma ye te!
But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him.
22 Bosopa makila na ye te! Bobwaka ye kaka na libulu oyo ezali kati na esobe, kasi bosala ye mabe te. Ribeni alobaki bongo pamba te azalaki na makanisi ya kokangola ye na maboko na bango mpe kozongisa ye na maboko ya tata na ye.
Also Reuben saide vnto them, Shed not blood, but cast him into this pitte that is in the wildernesse, and lay no hande vpon him. Thus he said, that he might deliuer him out of their hand, and restore him to his father againe.
23 Tango kaka Jozefi akomaki epai ya bandeko na ye ya mibali, balongolaki ye elamba na ye ya kitoko mpe ya talo oyo alataki.
Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him.
24 Bakangaki ye mpe babwakaki ye na libulu. Libulu yango ezalaki na eloko te, ezalaki mpe na mayi te na kati.
And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
25 Wana bavandaki mpo na kolia, batombolaki miso mpe bamonaki bato ya libota ya Isimaeli elongo na bashamo na bango koya wuta na Galadi. Bashamo na bango ezalaki komema na Ejipito: biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko oyo balambelaka, mafuta ya solo kitoko mpe mire.
Then they sate them downe to eate bread: and they lift vp their eyes and looked, and behold, there came a companie of Ishmeelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicerie, and balme, and myrrhe, and were going to cary it downe into Egypt.
26 Boye Yuda alobaki na bandeko na ye ya mibali: « Litomba nini tokozwa soki tobomi ndeko na biso mpe tozipi makila na ye?
Then Iudah said vnto his brethren, What auaileth it, if we slay our brother, though wee keepe his blood secret?
27 Malamu toteka ye epai ya bato ya ekolo ya Isimaeli, kasi toboma ye te; pamba te azali kaka ndeko na biso mpe tozali na ye makila moko. » Boye bandeko na ye bandimaki.
Come and let vs sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our handes be vpon him: for he is our brother and our flesh: and his brethren obeyed.
28 Nzokande tango bato ya mombongo ya mokili ya Madiani balekaki wana, babimisaki Jozefi wuta na libulu mpe batekaki ye epai ya bato ya ekolo ya Isimaeli, na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende, tuku mibale; mpe bango bamemaki ye na Ejipito.
Then the Midianites marchant men passed by, and they drewe foorth, and lift Ioseph out of the pit, and solde Ioseph vnto the Ishmeelites for twentie pieces of siluer: who brought Ioseph into Egypt.
29 Tango Ribeni azongaki na libulu mpe amonaki ete Jozefi azali lisusu kuna te, apasolaki bilamba na ye,
Afterwarde Reuben returned to the pit, and beholde, Ioseph was not in the pit: then he rent his clothes,
30 azongaki epai ya bandeko na ye mpe alobaki: « Elenge mobali azali lisusu kuna te! Sik’oyo ngai, nakosuka wapi? »
And returned to his brethren, and said, The childe is not yonder, and I, whither shall I goe?
31 Boye babomaki ntaba, bazwaki elamba ya Jozefi mpe bazindisaki yango na makila ya ntaba.
And they tooke Iosephs coate, and killed a kidde of the goates, and dipped the coate in the blood.
32 Sima, bazongisaki elamba yango ya kitoko mpe ya talo epai ya tata na bango. Balobaki: — Tala eloko oyo tomoni; tala yango malamu soki ezali penza elamba ya mwana na yo to te!
So they sent that particoloured coat, and they brought it vnto their father, and saide, This haue we founde: see nowe, whether it be thy sonnes coate, or no.
33 Jakobi asosolaki ete ezali elamba ya Jozefi mpe agangaki: — Ezali elamba ya mwana na ngai! Nyama moko ya mabe elie ye! Solo, bakati-kati Jozefi na biteni!
Then he knewe it and said, It is my sonnes coate: a wicked beast hath deuoured him: Ioseph is surely torne in pieces.
34 Jakobi apasolaki bilamba na ye, alataki saki mpe asalaki matanga mpo na mwana na ye mikolo ebele.
And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.
35 Bana na ye nyonso ya mibali mpe ya basi bayaki kobondisa ye; kasi aboyaki kobondisama. Alobaki: « Te; nakozala na matanga kino nakolanda mwana na ngai na mboka ya bakufi epai wapi mwana na ngai azali. » Boye, tata na ye alelaki ye. (Sheol h7585)
Then all his sonnes and all his daughters rose vp to comfort him, but he woulde not be comforted, but said, Surely I will go downe into the graue vnto my sonne mourning: so his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Bato ya mokili ya Madiani batekaki Jozefi na Ejipito epai ya Potifari, kalaka ya lokumu ya Faraon mpe mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi.
And the Midianites solde him into Egypt vnto Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs, and his chiefe stewarde.
