And he dwelt Jacob in [the] land of [the] sojournings of father his in [the] land 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.

And Israel he loved Joseph more than all sons his for [was] a son of old age he for him and he made for him a long garment of palms and soles.
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.
