Genesis 30
1 Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.
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 But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit?
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 servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her.
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 she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Se konsa, Rachèl te pran sèvant li a, li bay Jakòb pou madanm. Jakòb kouche ak Bila.
5 And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.
Bila vin ansent, li fè yon ti gason pou Jakòb.
6 Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named 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 again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.
Apre sa, Bila, sèvant Rachèl la, vin ansent ankò, li fè yon dezyèm gason pou Jakòb.
8 And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name 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 it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, 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 Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.
Zilpa, sèvant Leya a, fè yon ti gason pou Jakòb.
11 And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.
Leya di: -Ala fanm gen chans se mwen menm! Se konsa li rele pitit la Gad.
12 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.
Zilpa, sèvant Lea a, fè yon dezyèm pitit gason pou Jakòb.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name 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 at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.
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 said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.
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 In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to 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 gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.
Bondye reponn lapriyè Leya a. Li vin ansent, epi li fè yon senkyèm pitit gason pou Jakòb.
18 Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name 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 And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son.
Leya vin ansent ankò, li fè yon sizyèm pitit gason pou Jakòb.
20 And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name 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 she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.
Apre sa, li fè yon pitit fi. Li rele l' Dena.
22 Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile.
Lè sa a, Bondye vin chonje Rachèl, li reponn lapriyè li, li fè l' ka fè pitit.
23 And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.
Se konsa Rachèl vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. Li di: -Bondye fè yo sispann pase m' nan rizib.
24 And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give 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 the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.
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 my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done 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 And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to 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 Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it.
Di m' sa pou m' peye ou, m'a ba ou li.
29 Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well 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 For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?
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 And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me:
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 flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.
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 And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.
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 And Laban said, Let it be as you say.
Laban reponn li: -Dakò. n'a fè l' jan ou di l' la.
35 So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into 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 And sent them three days' journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flock.
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 Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.
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 And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.
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 And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour.
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 These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock.
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 And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.
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 when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.
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 So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.
Jakòb vin rich anpil, Li te gen anpil bèt. Kanta pou sèvant, domestik, chamo ak bourik, li pa t' manke sa.
