1. 1LINWana Jakobi azalaki kokoba mobembo na ye, ba-anjelu ya Nzambe bayaki kokutana na ye.BSBBSB: Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2. 2LINTango Jakobi amonaki bango, alobaki : « Oyo ezali molako ya Nzambe ! » Mpe abengaki esika yango : Maanayimi.BSBBSB: When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.
3. 3LINJakobi atindaki bantoma liboso na ye epai ya Ezawu, ndeko na ye, na mokili ya Seiri, kati na zamba ya Edomi.BSBBSB: Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4. 4LINApesaki bango malako oyo : « Tala makambo oyo bokoloba epai ya nkolo na ngai Ezawu : ‹ Mosali na yo Jakobi alobi : ‘ Navandaki epai ya Labani mpe natikalaki kuna kino sik’oyo.BSBBSB: He instructed them, “You are to say to my master Esau, ‘Your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban and have remained there until now.
5. 5LINNazali na bangombe, ba-ane, bameme, bantaba, basali ya mibali mpe ya basi ; natindi sango oyo epai ya nkolo na ngai mpo ete nazwa ngolu na miso na ye. ’ › »BSBBSB: I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, menservants, and maidservants. I have sent this message to inform my master, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”
6. 6LINTango bantoma bazongaki epai ya Jakobi, balobaki : « Tokendeki epai ya Ezawu, ndeko na yo, mpe sik’oyo azali koya elongo na bato nkama minei mpo na kokutana na yo. »BSBBSB: When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you—he and four hundred men with him.”
7. 7LINNa kobanga makasi mpe na komitungisa, Jakobi akabolaki bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye na masanga mibale ; ndenge moko mpe mpo na bameme, bantaba mpe bashamo.BSBBSB: In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.
8. 8LINAzalaki komilobela : « Soki Ezawu abundisi lisanga moko, lisanga oyo etikali ekoki kokima. »BSBBSB: He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”
9. 10LINSima, Jakobi abondelaki : « Oh Nzambe ya Abrayami, tata na ngai ! Nzambe ya Izaki, tata na ngai ! Oh Yawe, Yo oyo olobaki na ngai : ‹ Zonga na mokili na yo, na libota na yo, mpe Ngai nakosalela yo bolamu. ›BSBBSB: I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Indeed, with only my staff I came across the Jordan, but now I have become two camps.
10. 11LINNazali nani mpo ete otalisa ngai mosali na Yo bolamu mpe bosembo nyonso oyo ! Nazalaki kaka na lingenda tango nakatisaki Yordani, kasi sik’oyo nazali na masanga mibale.BSBBSB: Please deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid that he may come and attack me and the mothers and children with me.
11. 12LINNabondeli Yo, kangola ngai na maboko ya ndeko na ngai, Ezawu, pamba te nazali kobanga ete aya kobundisa ngai elongo na bamama mpe bana na bango.BSBBSB: But You have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to count.’”
12. 13LINNzokande, Yo olobaki na ngai : ‹ Ya solo nakosalela yo bolamu mpe nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene, oyo moto moko te akoki kotanga. › »BSBBSB: Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
13. 14LINJakobi alekisaki butu na esika wana. Kati na biloko oyo azalaki na yango, aponaki kado mpo na Ezawu, ndeko na ye :BSBBSB: 200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
14. 15LINbantaba ya basi nkama mibale mpe bantaba ya mibali tuku mibale, bameme ya basi nkama mibale mpe bameme ya mibali tuku mibale,BSBBSB: 30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
15. 16LINshamo ya basi tuku misato elongo na bana na yango, bangombe ya basi tuku minei mpe bangombe ya mibali zomi, ba-ane ya basi tuku mibale mpe ya mibali zomi. Akabolaki yango na bitonga mpe apesaki yango epai ya basali na ye. Alobaki na bango : « Boleka liboso na ngai mpe botia etonga moko mosika na mosusu. »BSBBSB: He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”
16. 17LINJakobi apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya mosali na ye ya liboso : « Tango Ezawu, ndeko na ngai, akokutana na yo mpe akotuna yo : ‹ Yo ozali mosali ya nani, ozali kokende wapi mpe nani nkolo ya banyama nyonso oyo ezali liboso na yo ? ›BSBBSB: He instructed the one in the lead, “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘To whom do you belong, where are you going, and whose animals are these before you?’
17. 18LINOkozongisa : ‹ Ezali ya Jakobi, mosali na yo, ezali kado oyo atindeli nkolo na ngai Ezawu. Mpe tala ye moko azali koya sima na biso. › »BSBBSB: then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift, sent to my lord Esau. And behold, Jacob is behind us.’”
18. 19LINApesaki lisusu mitindo wana epai ya mosali ya mibale, ya misato mpe epai ya basali nyonso oyo bazalaki kolanda bibwele : « Bokoloba kaka maloba moko tango bokokutana na Ezawu.BSBBSB: He also instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: “When you meet Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.
19. 20LINBokoyebisa ye lisusu : ‹ Tala ye moko Jakobi, mosali na yo, azali koya na sima na biso ! › » Pamba te azalaki komilobela : « Nakokitisa kanda na ye na kado oyo natindi liboso na ngai ; sima tango nakokutana na ye, mbala mosusu akoyamba ngai malamu. »BSBBSB: You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought, “I will appease Esau with the gift that is going before me. After that I can face him, and perhaps he will accept me.”
20. 21LINBoye kado ya Jakobi ekendeki liboso, kasi ye moko alekisaki butu kati na Molako.BSBBSB: So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
21. 22LINNa butu wana, Jakobi alamukaki, azwaki basi na ye mibale, basali na ye mibale ya basi, bana na ye zomi na moko mpe akatisaki mayi ya Yaboki.BSBBSB: During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
22. 23LINSima na kokatisa bango mayi, akatisaki mpe biloko na ye nyonso.BSBBSB: He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
23. 24LINJakobi atikalaki kaka ye moko. Bongo moto moko abundaki na ye kino tango tongo elingaki kotana.BSBBSB: So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
24. 25LINWana moto yango amonaki ete akoki kolonga Jakobi te, abetaki Jakobi na loketo mpe mokuwa ya loketo na ye ebukanaki tango bazalaki kobunda.BSBBSB: When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.
25. 26LINSima, moto yango alobaki : — Tika ngai nakende, pamba te tongo elingi kotana. Kasi Jakobi azongisaki : — Nakotika yo te kokende soki opamboli ngai te.BSBBSB: Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
26. 27LINMoto yango atunaki Jakobi : — Kombo na yo nani ? Jakobi azongisaki : — Kombo na ngai ezali Jakobi.BSBBSB: “What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
27. 28LINMoto yango alobaki lisusu : — Kobanda lelo, kombo na yo ekozala lisusu Jakobi te, kasi Isalaele, pamba te obundi na Nzambe mpe na bato, bongo olongi.BSBBSB: Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”
28. 29LINJakobi alobaki : — Nabondeli yo, yebisa ngai kombo na yo. Azongiselaki ye : — Mpo na nini ozali kotuna kombo na ngai ? Boye apambolaki ye na esika wana.BSBBSB: And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
29. 30LINJakobi abengaki esika yango « Penieli, » pamba te alobaki : « Namoni Nzambe na miso na ngai, mpe bomoi na ngai ebiki. »BSBBSB: So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
30. 31LINTango moyi ebimaki, Jakobi alekaki Penueli. Azalaki kotambola tengu-tengu mpo na loketo na ye.BSBBSB: The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
31. 32LINYango wana kino lelo, bana ya Isalaele baliaka mosuni ya mopende te, pamba te Nzambe abetaki Jakobi na mosuni oyo ekangami na mokuwa ya loketo.BSBBSB: Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was struck near that tendon.
