Ngenesi 28:1-22
28 Bosi Isaki wutela Yakobi, wunsakumuna ayi wunkamba: “Muan’ama, bika kukuela nkietu musi Kanani.
2 Yenda ku Padã-Arã, ku nzo yi Betueli tata yi ngudi’aku ayi sola kuna wumueka mu bana ba Labão khomba yi ngudi’aku, muingi wukuela.
3 Nzambi Nkua Ngolo Zioso wala kusakumuna, ayi wala kuvana bana bawombo ayi ngie wala ba mimvila miwombo.
4 Nandi wala kuvana lusakumunu lo kakanikisa kuidi Abalahami muingi ngie ayi nkun’aku luvua ntoto awuwu widi mu kuzingila buka nzenza, ntoto wo Nzambi kavana Abalahami.”
5 Mu phila ayoyo, Yakobi wuyenda ku Padã-Arã, ku nzo yi Labão muana Betueli, musi arameu, khomba yi Rebeka, ngudi yi Yakobi ayi Ezau.
6 Bo Ezau kamona ti Isaki wusakumuna Yakobi, ayi wumfila ku Padã-Arã, muingi kue tombila kuna nkietu wu kukuela, ayi wunkamba: “Bika kukuela bakietu ba basi Kanani,”
7 ayi bo kamona ti Yakobi wuyenda ku Padã-Arã muingi kutumukina tat’andi ayi ngudi’andi,
8 Ezau wuvisa ti tat’andi Isaki, kabasa zolanga ko bakietu ba basi Kanani.
9 Diawu Ezau kayendila kuidi Ismael muingi kabue kuela nkietu wunkaka. Nandi wukuela Malati khomba Nebaioti. Malati wuba muana wu Ismael, ayi Ismael wuba muana wu Abalahami.
10 Yakobi wunanguka ku Berseba ayi wuyenda ku Haran.
11 Ayi bo kavitila va kibuangu kimueka, nandi wubaka makani ma kuviokisila vana builu, kibila buisi butona kukuila. Diawu katombila dimanya muingi katetika ntu, bosi wulala vana.
12 Nandi wuloto ndosi, mu ndosi beni nandi wumona kikada kitonina va ntoto, ayi kivitila nati ku diyilu. Mvandi wumona zimbasi zi Nzambi kukuluka ayi kumaka mu kikada beni.
13 Yave wuba va yilu kikada beni ayi wutuba:
“Minu yidi Yave, Nzambi yi tat’aku Abalahami, ayi Nzambi yi Isaki. Yinkuiza vana kuidi ngiewu ayi kuidi nkun’aku ntoto wo ngie widi mu kulala.
14 Ayi nkun’aku wala ba wuwombo buka nsengisini, ayi wawu wala tiamuka ku khonzu leste, oeste, ku norte ayi ku sul. Ayi makanda moso va ntoto bala baka lusakumunu mu nzil’aku, ayi mu nzila nkun’aku.
15 Minu yidi yaku ayi yala tatamana ku kukieba, mu kioso kua kibuangu wunkuenda. Ayi yala bue kuvutula ku kibuangu akiki. Yalasa kukuekula ko nati yala dukisa mambu yima kukanikisa.”
16 Bo Yakobi kakotuka, nandi wutuba: “Bubu yima visa ti Yave, widi va kibuangu akiki.”
17 Yakobi wuba boma ayi wubue tuba: “Kibuangu akiki, kidi beni disuasana na bibuangu binkaka, kibila kidi kibuangu kinlongo ayi avava, vawu vadi muelu wu diyilu.”
18 Bo Yakobi kakotuka va meni, nandi wubonga dimanya katedika ntu, wutelemisa diawu ayi wudukudila vana malasi.
19 Ayi wuvana kibuangu beni dizina Beteli,* vayi baba tedilanga divula beni Luz.
20 Yakobi wuvanga tsila ayiyi mu kutuba: “Nzambi na kutatamana kuba yama, na kutatamana kukhieba mu viage, mu kuphana bidia, bikhutu,
21 ayi na kutsadisa yivutuka mu ndembama ku nzo tat’ama, buna Yave wunkuiza vana bivisa ti widi Nzambi’ama.
22 Dimanya adidi yibe telemisa buka dikunzi, dinkuiza ba nzo yi Nzambi, ayi minu yala kuvana kikhuku ki kumi mu biuma bioso wala kuphana.”
