Genesis 31
1 Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.
Jakòb vin konnen jan pitit gason Laban yo t'ap di: -Jakòb fin pran tou sa ki te pou papa nou. Se byen papa nou li fin ranmase kifè li rich konsa.
2 And Jacob saw that Laban's feeling for him was no longer what it had been before.
Jakòb vin wè tout Laban pa t' ba li menm karaktè li te konn ba li anvan an.
3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, Go back to the land of your fathers, and to your relations, and I will be with you.
Lè sa a, Seyè a di l': -Tounen nan peyi kote ou te fèt la, al jwenn fanmi ou. M'ap toujou la avè ou.
4 And Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come to him in the field among his flock.
Se konsa Jakòb fè chache Rachèl ak Leya. Li voye di yo rive kote l' nan savann kote bèt li yo ye a.
5 And he said to them, It is clear to me that your father's feeling is no longer what it was to me; but the God of my father has been with me
Li di yo: -Mwen wè karaktè papa nou pa menm jan avè m' ankò. Li chanje anpil, men Bondye papa m' lan toujou avè m'.
6 And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,
Nou tout de nou konnen jan mwen te sèvi ak papa nou ak tout kouraj mwen.
7 But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.
Men li menm, li toujou ap twonpe mwen. Li chanje lide dis fwa lè lè a rive pou li peye m'. Men, Bondye pa janm kite l' fè m' anyen.
8 If he said, All those in the flock which have marks are to be yours, then all the flock gave birth to marked young; and if he said, All the banded ones are to be yours, then all the flock had banded young.
Lè Laban di: ou mèt pran tout kabrit takte yo pou ou, tout bann bèt yo tonbe fè pitit takte. Lè li di: m'ap ba ou tout kabrit ki gen re sou tout kò yo, tout bann bèt yo tonbe fè pitit ak re sou tout kò yo.
9 So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me.
Se Bondye menm ki pran bann bèt papa nou yo, li ban mwen yo.
10 And at the time when the flock were with young, I saw in a dream that all the he-goats which were joined with the she-goats were banded and marked and coloured.
Lè bèt yo mande kwaze, mwen fè yon rèv, mwen wè tout bouk ki t'ap kwaze yo se bouk ki takte, ki pentle ak sa ki gen re sou tout kò yo.
11 And in my dream the angel of the Lord said to me, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.
Zanj Bondye a pale avè m' nan rèv la, li di m': Jakòb. Mwen reponn li: Men mwen wi.
12 And he said, See how all the he-goats are banded and marked and coloured: for I have seen what Laban has done to you.
Li di m' ankò: Leve je ou gade: tout bouk k'ap vole fenmèl yo se bouk ki takte ak sa ki gen re sou tout kò yo. Se mwen menm k'ap fè sa konsa, paske mwen wè tout sa Laban ap fè ou.
13 I am the God of Beth-el, where you put oil on the pillar and took an oath to me: now then, come out of this land and go back to the country of your birth.
Mwen se Bondye ki te parèt devan ou lè ou te Betèl, kote ou te mete gwo wòch la apa pou mwen an. Ou chonje, lè sa a, ou te fè yon pwomès ban mwen. Koulye a, leve, kite peyi sa a. Tounen nan peyi kote ou te fèt la.
14 Then Rachel and Leah said to him in answer, What part or heritage is there for us in our father's house?
Rachèl ak Leya reponn Jakòb: -Nou pa gen anyen ankò pou n' eritye nan men papa nou.
15 Are we not as people from a strange country to him? for he took a price for us and now it is all used up.
Eske li pa konsidere nou tankou etranje? Li vann nou. Koulye a, li fin manje tout lajan yo te ba li pou nou an.
16 For the wealth which God has taken from him is ours and our children's; so now, whatever God has said to you, do.
Tout richès Bondye wete nan men papa nou an, se pou nou ansanm ak pitit nou yo. Koulye a, se pou ou fè tout sa Bondye di ou fè.
17 Then Jacob put his wives and his sons on camels;
Lè sa a, Jakòb leve, li mete pitit li yo ansanm ak madanm li yo sou chamo.
18 And sending on before him all his cattle and his property which he had got together in Paddan-aram, he made ready to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
Li pran tout bèt li yo ansanm ak tout sa li te rive genyen pandan li te Mezopotami an, li mennen yo ale. Li pati, li al jwenn papa l', Izarak, nan peyi Kanaran.
19 Now Laban had gone to see to the cutting of the wool of his sheep; so Rachel secretly took the images of the gods of her father's house.
Lè sa a, Laban t al taye lenn mouton l' yo. Pandan li pa t' la, Rachèl vòlè ti zidòl kay papa l' yo.
20 And Jacob went away secretly, without giving news of his flight to Laban the Aramaean.
Se konsa Jakòb twonpe Laban, moun lavil Aram lan, li pati san l' pa di l' sa.
21 So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead.
Li pran tout sa li te genyen, li mete deyò, li ale, li travèse larivyè Lefrat, li pran chemen pou li al sou mòn Galarad.
22 And on the third day Laban had news of Jacob's flight.
Twa jou apre, Laban pran nouvèl Jakòb te pati.
23 And taking the men of his family with him, he went after him for seven days and overtook him in the hill-country of Gilead.
Msye pran moun pa li yo avè l', li pati dèyè Jakòb. Apre sèt jou, li jwenn li sou mòn Galarad.
24 Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
Men, pandan lannwit, Bondye parèt devan Laban, moun lavil Aram lan, nan yon rèv, li di l': -Piga ou di Jakòb anyen ni an byen, ni an mal.
25 Now when Laban overtook him, Jacob had put up his tent in the hill-country; and Laban and his brothers put up their tents in the hill-country of Gilead.
Se konsa, Laban jwenn Jakòb ki te moute tant li sou mòn lan. Laban te moute tant li tout sou mòn Galarad pou li menm ansanm ak moun pa l' yo.
26 And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners of war?
Laban di Jakòb: -Kisa ou fè konsa? Ou twonpe m', ou pran pitit fi mwen yo, ou mennen yo ale tankou prizonye ou fè nan lagè.
27 Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?
Poukisa ou twonpe m', ou leve ou pati an kachèt san ou pa avèti m'? Si ou te di m' sa, nou ta fè fèt, nou ta chante, nou ta bat tanbou, nou ta jwe gita anvan nou voye ou ale.
28 You did not even let me give a kiss to my sons and my daughters. This was a foolish thing to do.
Ou pa menm kite m' bo pitit pitit mwen yo ak pitit fi m' yo. Ou aji tankou moun fou, monchè!
29 It is in my power to do you damage: but the God of your father came to me this night, saying, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
Mwen gen kont pouvwa anba men m' pou m' ta regle ou. Men yè swa, pandan lannwit lan Bondye papa ou la di m': Piga ou di Jakòb anyen ni an byen, ni an mal.
30 And now, it seems, you are going because your heart's desire is for your father's house; but why have you taken my gods?
Mwen konnen ou pati paske se pa ti anvi ou pa te anvi tounen lakay papa ou. Men, sa ou te bezwen vòlè ti zidòl kay mwen yo fè?
31 And Jacob, in answer, said to Laban, My fear was that you might take your daughters from me by force.
Jakòb reponn Laban, li di l': -Mwen te pè, paske mwen te kwè ou ta ka reprann pitit fi ou yo nan menm.
32 As for your gods, if anyone of us has them, let him be put to death: make search before us all for what is yours, and take it. For Jacob had no knowledge that Rachel had taken them.
Men, kanta pou ti zidòl kay ou yo, si ou jwenn yo nan men yon moun isit la, se pou moun sa a mouri. Men, mwen pran tout moun sa yo pou temwen, si ou jwenn yon bagay lakay mwen ki pou ou, pran l' pote l' ale. Jakòb pa t' konnen Rachèl te vòlè ti zidòl kay yo.
33 So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there; and he came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.
Laban antre anba tant Jakòb la, li chache, li ale anba tant Leya a, apre sa anba tant de sèvant yo, li pa jwenn anyen. Li soti anba tant Leya a, li antre anba tant Rachèl. la.
34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.
Rachèl menm te pran ti zidòl kay yo, li te mete yo anba aparèy chamo a, epi li chita sou yo. Laban menm chache tout anba tant lan, li pa jwenn anyen.
35 And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.
Rachèl di papa l' konsa: -Si ou wè mwen pa ka leve kanpe devan ou, ou pa bezwen fache non. Se lalen mwen mwen genyen. Se konsa Laban fouye toupatou, li pa jwenn ti zidòl kay li yo.
36 Then Jacob was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?
Lè sa a, Jakòb move sou Laban. Li pete yon kabouyay ak li, li di l': -Ki krim mwen fè? Kisa m' fè ki mal pou w'ap pousib mwen konsa?
37 Now that you have made search through all my goods, what have you seen which is yours? Make it clear now before my people and your people, so that they may be judges between us.
Ou fin fouye tout zafè m' yo. Kisa ou jwenn ki pou ou? Mete l' la devan moun pa ou yo ak moun pa m' yo, pou yo ka di ki moun ki gen rezon!
38 These twenty years I have been with you; your sheep and your goats have had young without loss, not one of your he-goats have I taken for food.
Sa fè ventan depi m avè ou. Mouton ou yo ak kabrit ou yo pa janm manke fè pitit. Mwen pa janm manje yon ti bouk nan bèt ou yo.
39 Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.
Lè bèt nan bwa touye yon mouton, mwen pa janm pote l' ba ou. Mwen te pran pèt la sou kont mwen. Ou te rann mwen reskonsab tout bèt yo vòlè, kit se lannwit, kit se lajounen.
40 This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went from my eyes.
Lajounen, chalè te fini avè m'. Lannwit, se te fredi, mwen pa t' kapab dòmi.
41 These twenty years I have been in your house; I was your servant for fourteen years because of your daughters, and for six years I kept your flock, and ten times was my payment changed.
Se konsa sa te ye pandan tout ventan mwen pase lakay ou yo. Mwen travay pandan katòzan pou de pitit fi ou yo. Apre sa, mwen fè sizan ankò ap travay pou bann bèt ou yo. Atousa, ou jwenn mwayen chanje pawòl dis fwa lè lè a rive pou ou peye m'.
42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would have sent me away with nothing in my hands. But God has seen my troubles and the work of my hands, and this night he kept you back.
Si Bondye papa m' lan, Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Izarak respekte a, pa t' la avèk mwen, koulye a ou ta voye m' ale yon men devan yon men dèyè. Men Bondye wè tout traka mwen bay tèt mwen, li wè travay mwen fè, se konsa yè swa li rann jijman li.
43 Then Laban, answering, said, These women are my daughters and these children my children, the flocks and all you see are mine: what now may I do for my daughters and for their children?
Laban reponn Jakòb: -Fi sa yo se pitit mwen yo ye. Timoun sa yo, se pa m' yo ye. Bann bèt sa yo se pou mwen yo ye. tout sa ou wè la a, se pou mwen yo ye. Bon, kisa m' ka fè koulye a pou pitit fi mwen yo ak pou pitit pitit mwen yo?
44 Come, let us make an agreement, you and I; and let it be for a witness between us.
Vini non. Annou pase yon kontra, mwen menm avè ou. Ann kite yon mak ki va sèvi pou fè nou toujou chonje kontra a.
45 Then Jacob took a stone and put it up as a pillar.
Jakòb pran yon gwo wòch, li plante l' nan tè a, li fè l' rete kanpe tankou yon bòn.
46 And Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.
Epi, li di moun li yo: -Ranmase wòch. Mesye yo ranmase wòch, yo anpile yo fè yon gwo pil. Apre sa, yo chita bò pil wòch la, yo manje.
47 And the name Laban gave it was Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob gave it the name of Galeed.
Laban rele pil wòch la Jega Saadouta nan lang pa l', men Jakòb te rele l' nan lang pa l' Galèd.
48 And Laban said, These stones are a witness between you and me today. For this reason its name was Galeed,
Laban di: -Pil wòch sa a va sèvi pou fè nou tout de toujou chonje kontra a. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Galèd.
49 And Mizpah, for he said, May the Lord keep watch on us when we are unable to see one another's doings.
Laban di ankò: -Se pou Bondye voye je sou nou tout de lè nou fin separe. Se konsa yo rele kote sa a Mispa.
50 If you are cruel to my daughters, or if you take other wives in addition to my daughters, then though no man is there to see, God will be the witness between us.
Laban pale ankò, li di: -Si ou maltrete pitit fi mwen yo, si ou pran lòt fanm ankò sou yo, konnen ou p'ap annafè ak yon moun tankou nou tande. Atansyon, men se ak Bondye menm, ki temwen sa nou sot fè a, w'ap annafè.
51 And Laban said, See these stones and this pillar which I have put between you and me;
Laban di Jakòb ankò: -Men pil wòch mwen mete pou separe nou an. Men bòn ou plante a la.
52 They will be witness that I will not go over these stones to you, and you will not go over these stones or this pillar to me, for any evil purpose.
Ni pil wòch yo ni bòn lan ap sèvi yon mak. Mwen pa gen dwa depase l' pou m' vin atake ou, ni ou pa gen dwa depase l' pou ou vin atake m'.
53 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, be our judge. Then Jacob took an oath by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Se pou Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Nakò a, Bondye papa yo a, mete rezon nan mitan nou. Lè sa a, Jakòb sèmante nan non Bondye Izarak, papa l' respekte a.
54 And Jacob made an offering on the mountain, and gave orders to his people to take food: so they had a meal and took their rest that night on the mountain.
Apre sa, li touye yon bèt, li ofri l' bay Bondye sou mòn lan, epi li envite moun pa l' yo vin manje. Lè yo fin manje, yo pase nwit la sou mòn lan.
55 And early in the morning Laban, after kissing and blessing his daughters, went on his way back to his country.
Nan denmen maten byen bonè, Laban leve, li bo pitit pitit li yo ak pitit fi li yo. Li beni yo. Apre sa, li pati, li tounen lakay li.
