Genesis 30
1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.
Lè Rachèl wè li pa t' kapab fè pitit pou Jakòb, li vin gen yon sèl jalouzi kont sè li a, li di Jakòb: -Fè m' fè pitit! Si se pa sa m'ap mouri sou kont ou!
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”
Jakòb fè kòlè sou Rachèl, li di li: -Eske se mwen ki Bondye? Se li menm ki anpeche ou fè pitit.
3 Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
Rachèl di li: -Bon. Men Bila, sèvant mwen an. Kouche avè l'. La fè yon pitit pou mwen. Konsa, gremesi Bila, m'a gen pitit tou.
4 So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,
Se konsa, Rachèl te pran sèvant li a, li bay Jakòb pou madanm. Jakòb kouche ak Bila.
5 and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.
Bila vin ansent, li fè yon ti gason pou Jakòb.
6 Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.
Lè sa a, Rachèl di: -Seyè a rann mwen jistis. Li tande vwa mwen. Li ban m' yon gason. Se poutèt sa Rachèl te rele pitit la Dann.
7 And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
Apre sa, Bila, sèvant Rachèl la, vin ansent ankò, li fè yon dezyèm gason pou Jakòb.
8 Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.
Rachèl di: -Mwen t'ap mennen yon gwo batay kont sè m' lan devan Bondye. Men se mwen ki genyen. Se konsa li rele pitit la Nèftali.
9 When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
Lè Leya wè li te sispann fè pitit, li pran Zilpa, sèvant li a, bay Jakòb pou madanm tou.
10 And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
Zilpa, sèvant Leya a, fè yon ti gason pou Jakòb.
11 Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
Leya di: -Ala fanm gen chans se mwen menm! Se konsa li rele pitit la Gad.
12 When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,
Zilpa, sèvant Lea a, fè yon dezyèm pitit gason pou Jakòb.
13 Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.
Leya di konsa: -Ala benediksyon mwen jwenn! Koulye a medam yo pral di jan mwen se yon fanm ki beni. Se konsa li rele pitit la Asè.
14 Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
Pandan rekòt ble a, Woubenn soti al nan jaden, li jwenn kèk mandragò. Li pote rasen yo bay Leya, manman li. Rachèl di Leya konsa: -Tanpri, ban m' kèk moso rasen mandragò pitit ou pote pou ou a.
15 But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
Leya reponn li: -Atò ou pa fè m' ase? Ou fin pran mari m', koulye a ou vle pran mandragò pitit gason m' lan tou? Rachèl di l': -Enben, Jakòb va kouche avè ou aswè a pou mandragò pitit gason ou lan.
16 When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
Nan aswè, lè Jakòb parèt sot nan jaden, Leya soti al kontre l', li di l' konsa: -Se pou ou vin kouche avè m' aswè a, paske mwen bay mandragò pitit gason m' lan pou sa. Se konsa, jou swa sa a, Jakòb kouche avèk Leya.
17 And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
Bondye reponn lapriyè Leya a. Li vin ansent, epi li fè yon senkyèm pitit gason pou Jakòb.
18 Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
Leya di: -Bondye ban m' sa m' merite a, paske mwen te bay mari m' sèvant mwen an pou madanm. Se konsa, Leya rele pitit gason an Isaka.
19 Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Leya vin ansent ankò, li fè yon sizyèm pitit gason pou Jakòb.
20 “God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.
Leya di: -Bondye fè m' yon bèl kado. Fwa sa a, mari m' pral pou mwen nèt, paske mwen fè sis pitit gason pou li. Se konsa li rele pitit la Zabilon.
21 After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
Apre sa, li fè yon pitit fi. Li rele l' Dena.
22 Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,
Lè sa a, Bondye vin chonje Rachèl, li reponn lapriyè li, li fè l' ka fè pitit.
23 and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.
Se konsa Rachèl vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. Li di: -Bondye fè yo sispann pase m' nan rizib.
24 She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
Epi Rachèl rele pitit gason an Jozèf, paske li te di: -Se pou Seyè a ba m' yon lòt gason ankò.
25 Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.
Apre Rachèl te fè Jozèf, Jakòb di Laban konsa: -Kite m' pati pou m ale lakay mwen nan peyi mwen.
26 Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
Ban mwen madanm mwen yo ansanm ak timoun yo pou m' ka ale, paske se pou yo mwen t'ap sèvi ak ou. Ou konnen tout kantite sèvis mwen rann ou.
27 But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”
Laban reponn li: -Fè m' plezi sa a: mwen rekonèt se poutèt ou Seyè a beni m' tout beni sa a.
28 And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
Di m' sa pou m' peye ou, m'a ba ou li.
29 Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
Jakòb di l': -Ou konnen jan mwen sèvi avè ou. Ou wè ki jan bann bèt ou yo peple depi yo nan men m'.
30 Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
Ti sa ou te genyen anvan m' te vini an tounen yon kantite depi mwen mete pye m' isit la. Akòz mwen Seyè a pa manke beni ou. Alekile, li lè pou m' al travay pou tèt pa mwen.
31 “What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
Laban di l': -Kisa pou m' ba ou? Jakòb reponn li: -Ou pa bezwen peye m' pou sa. Men si ou dakò avèk sa mwen pral di ou la, m'a rete ankò pou okipe bèt ou yo.
32 Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
Jòdi a, mwen pral pwonmennen mache nan mitan tout bèt ou yo. M'ap pran tout ti mouton nwa, ak tout ti kabrit ki takte osinon pentle yo, m'ap mete yo apa. Se sa ase w'a ban mwen pou sèvis mwen.
33 So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
Lè w'a vin wè sa ou dakò ban mwen an, w'a konnen si m' te fè vis, wi ou non. Lè w'a vin kontwole sa ki pou mwen yo, si mwen gen yon mouton ki pa nwa, osinon yon kabrit ki pa takte ou ki pa pentle, ou mèt konnen se vòlè mwen vòlè ou.
34 “Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”
Laban reponn li: -Dakò. n'a fè l' jan ou di l' la.
35 That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
Men menm jou a, Laban wete tout bouk kabrit ki te gen pwal takte osinon ki te gen re sou tout kò yo, ak tout fenmèl kabrit ki te gen pwal takte osinon pentle, ou ankò ki te gen tach blan sou yo. Li wete tout mouton nwa yo, li pran tout bèt sa yo, li renmèt yo bay pitit gason l' yo.
36 Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Apre sa, li pati byen lwen Jakòb avèk bann bèt li yo, li mache pandan twa jou epi li rete. Jakòb menm te pran swen rès mouton ak kabrit Laban yo.
37 Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
Jakòb koupe kèk branch vèt nan pye sikren, pye zanmann ak pye bwadòm, li wete kèk lèz nan kòs yo. Konsa branch yo te vin gen bann vèt, bann blan sou tout kò yo.
38 Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
Li pran yo, li mete yo tout kote yo bay bèt yo bwè dlo. Li te ranje branch bwa yo la, paske se lè bèt yo vin bwè dlo yo kwaze.
39 they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
Konsa, lè bèt yo kwaze devan branch bwa de koulè yo, yo fè pitit takte, pitit pentle, osinon ak re sou tout kò yo.
40 Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
Jakòb separe mouton yo, li pran tout mouton ki te takte osinon ki te nwa nan mouton Laban yo, li mete yo apa. Se konsa, li te vin gen yon bann bèt apa ki pa t' mele ak bèt Laban yo.
41 Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
Lè bèt ki gra yo ap kwaze, Jakòb mete branch yo devan je yo kote y'ap bwè a. Konsa, yo kwaze devan branch yo.
42 But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
Men, li pa mete branch yo lè se bèt mèg yo k'ap kwaze. Se konsa, bèt mèg yo vin pou Laban, epi bèt gra yo vin pou Jakòb.
43 Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
Jakòb vin rich anpil, Li te gen anpil bèt. Kanta pou sèvant, domestik, chamo ak bourik, li pa t' manke sa.
