Ebandeli 46
1 Isalaele akendeki na nyonso oyo azalaki na yango. Tango akomaki na Beri-Sheba, abonzaki mbeka epai ya Nzambe ya Izaki, tata na ye.
And Israel commenced his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
2 Na butu, Nzambe alobaki na Isalaele na nzela ya emoniseli: — Jakobi! Jakobi! Jakobi azongisaki: — Ngai oyo.
And God spoke unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
3 Nzambe alobaki: — Nazali Nzambe, Nzambe ya tata na yo. Kobanga te kokende na Ejipito, pamba te nakokomisa yo ekolo monene kuna.
And he said, I am God, the God of thy father; fear not to go down into Egypt; for a great nation will I make of thee there:
4 Ngai moko nakokende elongo na yo na Ejipito; mpe ya solo, nakozongisa yo lisusu. Loboko ya Jozefi ekozipa miso na yo.
I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again; and Joseph shall put his hand upon thy eyes.
