Genesis 26
1 And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines to Gerara.
Wana nzala makasi ekotaki lisusu na mokili lokola na tango ya Abrayami, Izaki akendeki na Gerari epai ya Abimeleki, mokonzi ya bato ya Filisitia.
2 And the Lord appeared to him and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.
Boye Yawe abimelaki ye mpe ayebisaki ye: — Kokende na Ejipito te! Vanda na mokili oyo nakolakisa yo.
3 And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.
Vanda kati na mokili oyo; nakozala na yo elongo mpe nakopambola yo, pamba te nakopesa mabele oyo nyonso epai na yo mpe epai ya bana na yo; nakokokisa ndayi oyo nalapaki epai ya Abrayami, tata na yo.
4 And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
Nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele lokola minzoto ya likolo mpe nakopesa bango mabele oyo nyonso. Boye mpo na bakitani na yo, bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekomipambola.
5 Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.
Nakosala yango mpo ete Abrayami atosaki Ngai, abatelaki bikateli na Ngai, mitindo na Ngai mpe mibeko na Ngai.
6 So Isaac abode in Gerara.
Boye, Izaki avandaki na Gerari.
7 And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty.
Tango bato ya esika wana batunaki ye na tina na mwasi na ye, azongisaki: — Azali ndeko na ngai ya mwasi. Azalaki koloba te ete azali mwasi na ye mpo ete azalaki kobanga ete bato ya mboka baboma ye mpo na Rebeka, pamba te azalaki penza kitoko.
8 And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca his wife.
Tango awumelaki na mboka yango, Abimeleki, mokonzi ya bato ya Filisitia, atalaki wuta na lininisa mpe amonaki Izaki kosakana na mwasi na ye Rebeka.
9 And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.
Bongo Abimeleki abengisaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: — Rebeka azali solo mwasi na yo. Mpo na nini olobaki: « Azali ndeko na ngai ya mwasi? » Izaki azongisaki: — Kati na ngai, nazalaki koloba ete nakokaki kokufa mpo na ye.
10 And Abimelech said: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying:
Abimeleki alobaki lisusu: — Nasali bino likambo nini? Etikalaki kaka moke ete mobali moko kati na bato na ngai akota mpe asangisa nzoto na mwasi na yo. Boye, olingaki komemisa biso ngambo.
11 He that shall touch this man’s wife, shall surely be put to death.
Abimeleki apesaki mitindo na bato nyonso: — Moto nyonso oyo akosala mabe na moto oyo mpe na mwasi na ye, akokufa.
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
Izaki alonaki mbuma na mabele oyo mpe abukaki monkama na monkama na oyo alonaki, pamba te Yawe apambolaki ye.
13 And the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great:
Izaki akomaki mozwi, mpe bozwi na ye ekobaki kaka komata kino akomaki moto na bozwi ebele.
14 And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying him,
Bato ya Filisitia bakomaki koyokela ye likunya, pamba te azalaki na bameme ebele, bantaba ebele, bangombe ebele mpe basali ebele.
15 Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:
Boye bato ya Filisitia bakundaki mabulu nyonso oyo basali ya Abrayami, tata na ye, batimolaki tango azalaki nanu na bomoi mpe batondisaki yango na mabele.
16 Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
Bongo Abimeleki alobaki na Izaki: — Kende mosika na biso, pamba te okomi na nguya mingi koleka biso.
17 So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell there:
Izaki alongwaki wana mpe akendeki kotonga ndako na ye ya kapo na lubwaku ya Gerari epai wapi avandaki.
18 And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called them.
Atimolaki lisusu mabulu ya mayi oyo batimolaki na tango ya tata na ye Abrayami. Mabulu yango ezalaki bato ya Filisitia nde bakundaki yango sima na kufa ya Abrayami, mpe Izaki abengaki yango kaka na bakombo oyo tata na ye Abrayami apesaka yango.
19 And they digged in the torrent, and found living water.
Basali ya Izaki batimolaki na lubwaku mpe bamonaki kuna libulu ya mayi ya peto.
20 But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.
Babateli bibwele ya Gerari baswanisaki babateli bibwele ya Izaki mpe balobaki na bango: « Mayi oyo ezali ya biso. » Izaki apesaki libulu yango kombo « Eseki, » pamba te baswanisaki ye na tina na yango.
21 And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.
Batimolaki libulu mosusu, kasi baswanisaki ye lisusu na tina na yango, mpe apesaki yango kombo « Sitina. »
22 Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.
Alongwaki wana mpe akendeki kotimola libulu mosusu; mpe moto moko te aswanisaki ye na tina na yango. Yango wana apesaki yango kombo « Reoboti, » pamba te alobaki: « Sik’oyo, Yawe apesi biso esika monene, mpe tokofuluka na mokili oyo. »
23 And he went up from that place to Bersabee,
Kolongwa wana, akendeki na Beri-Sheba.
24 Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
Na butu ya mokolo oyo Izaki akomaki na Beri-Sheba, Yawe abimelaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: « Nazali Nzambe ya Abrayami, tata na yo; kobanga te, nazali elongo na yo. Mpo na Abrayami, mosali na Ngai, nakopambola yo mpe nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele. »
25 And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded his servants to dig a well.
Kaka na esika yango, Izaki atongaki etumbelo, abelelaki Kombo ya Yawe, atongaki ndako na ye ya kapo. Basali na ye batimolaki libulu mosusu ya mayi.
26 To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,
Wuta na Gerari, Abimeleki elongo na Awuzati, mopesi toli na ye, mpe Pikoli, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye, bayaki kokutana na Izaki.
27 Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you?
Izaki atunaki bango: — Mpo na nini boyei epai na ngai, bino bato oyo bolingaka ngai te mpe bobenganaki ngai epai na bino?
28 And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,
Bazongiselaki ye: — Tomoni ya solo ete Yawe azali elongo na yo, yango wana tolobaki: « Tika ete tosala boyokani kati na biso mpe yo na nzela ya ndayi.
29 That thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing of the Lord.
Lapa ndayi ete okosala biso mabe te ndenge biso mpe tosalaki yo mabe te; tosalelaki yo kaka bolamu mpe totikaki yo kokende na kimia. Sik’oyo, Yawe apamboli yo. »
30 And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:
Izaki asalelaki bango feti monene; baliaki mpe bamelaki.
31 Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, balapanaki ndayi; bongo Izaki abimisaki bango na nzela mpe atikaki bango kokende na kimia.
32 And behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water.
Kaka na mokolo yango, basali ya Izaki bayaki kopesa ye sango ete bamoni mayi na libulu oyo bazalaki kotimola.
33 Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day.
Izaki apesaki libulu yango kombo « Sheba. » Yango wana engumba yango ebengami kino lelo Beri-Sheba.
34 And Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon of the same place.
Tango Ezawu akokisaki mibu tuku minei ya mbotama, abalaki Jiditi, mwana mwasi ya Beri, moto ya mokili ya Iti, mpe Basimati, mwana mwasi ya Eloni, moto ya mokili ya Iti.
35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.
Basi yango bazalaki koyokisa Izaki mpe Rebeka pasi na motema.
