Genesis 32
1 And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
Alò, pandan Jacob te fin pran wout li, zanj Bondye yo te rankontre li.
2 And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
Jacob te di lè li te wè yo: “Sa se lame Bondye a.” Konsa, li te nonmen plas sa a Mahanaïm.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.
Alò, Jacob te voye mesaje yo devan li kote frè li Ésaü nan peyi Séir a nan teritwa Édom an.
4 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.
Li te bay mesaje yo lòd, e li te di: “Konsa ou va pale a mèt mwen an, Ésaü: ‘Men sa ke sèvitè ou, Jacob di ou: Mwen te vin rete avèk Laban, e mwen te demere la jis rive koulye a.
5 And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that your servant might find grace in your sight.
Mwen gen bèf avèk bourik, avèk bann mouton, sèvitè avèk sèvant. M ap voye pou di mèt mwen sa, pou m kapab vin jwenn favè nan zye w.’”
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and behold! he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
Mesaje yo te retounen vè Jacob. Yo te di li: “Nou te rankontre frè ou Ésaü. Konsa, li ap vin kote ou avèk kat-san òm.”
7 And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.
Epi Jacob te vin pè anpil, e byen twouble. Li te divize moun ki te avè l yo, bann mouton, twoupo bèf ak chamo pou fè de konpanyen.
8 And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and strike it, the other camp shall be in safety.
Konsa, li te di: “Si Ésaü ta vin atake youn nan konpanyen yo, alò, konpanyen ki rete a va chape.”
9 And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, you [are] he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of your birth, and I will do you good.
Jacob te di: “O Bondye a papa m nan Abraham e Bondye a papa m nan Isaac, O SENYÈ ki te di mwen an: ‘Retounen nan peyi ou, e a moun fanmi ou yo, e mwen va fè ou vin pwospere,’
10 Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which you have wrought with your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.
mwen pa merite tout lanmou, mizerikòd ak fidelite ke ou te montre sèvitè ou a; paske se sèl avèk baton mwen ke m te travèse rivyè Jourdain an, men koulye a nou vin de konpanyen.
11 Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and strike me, and the mother upon the children.
Delivre mwen, souple anba men frè m nan, anba men Ésaü; paske mwen pè li, pou li pa vin atake mwen avèk manman yo, ak timoun yo.
12 But you said, I will do you good, and will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.
Paske ou te di: ‘Anverite, Mwen va fè nou vin pwospere, e fè desandan nou yo vin tankou sab lanmè a, k ap twò gran pou konte.’”
13 And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
Epi li te pase nwit lan la. Alò, li te chwazi nan sa li te gen avè l yo kòm yon kado pou frè li, Ésaü:
14 two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
De-san kabrit femèl, ven kabrit mal, de-san femèl mouton, ak ven mal,
15 milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
trant chamo ki t ap bay lèt a pitit pa yo, karant bèf avèk dis towo, ven bourik femèl, ak dis ti bourik.
16 And he gave them to his servants [each] drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Li te livre yo nan men a sèvitè li yo. Chak ekip te mache pou kont li, e li te di a sèvitè li yo: “Pase devan m, e mete yon espas antre de bann yo.”
17 And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet you, and he ask you, saying, Whose are you? and whither would you go, and whose are these possessions advancing before you?
Li te kòmande sila ki te devan an e li te di li: “Lè frè m Ésaü vin rankontre ou, e mande ou: ‘Pou kilès ou ye, kibò w prale, e pou kilès bèt sa yo ki devan ou yo ye?’
18 You shall say, Your servant Jacob's; he has sent gifts to my lord Esau, and behold! he is behind us.
Alò, ou va di: ‘Se pou sèvitè ou, Jacob. Se yon kado ke li voye bay mèt mwen, Ésaü. Men gade byen, li la dèyè nou.’”
19 And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall you speak to Esau when you find him;
Li te kòmande osi a dezyèm nan, a twazyèm nan, ak tout sa ki te swiv ekip yo, e li te di: “Se konsa nou va pale avèk Ésaü lè nou rankontre li.
20 and you shall say, Behold your servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for perhaps he will accept me.
Ou va di: ‘Gade, men sèvitè ou Jacob dèyè nou an tou.’ Paske li te di: ‘Mwen va satisfè li avèk kado ki ale devan m yo. E apre, mwen va wè figi li. Petèt li kapab aksepte mwen.’”
21 So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Epi kado a te pase devan li, e li menm te pase nwit lan menm kote li te fè kan an.
22 And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch.
Alò, li te leve pandan menm nwit lan, e li te pran de madanm li yo avèk de sèvant li yo, onz pitit li yo, e li te travèse lariviyè a bò kote Jabbok la.
23 And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
Li te pran yo, e li te voye yo travèse dlo a. Konsa, li te voye travèse ak tout sa li te genyen.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
Konsa, Jacob te rete tout sèl, e yon nonm te vin lite avèk li jis rive granmmaten.
25 And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob's thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him.
Lè li te wè ke li pa t genyen l, li te touche gwo jwenti janm li (anwo kote l tache nan kò a), epi li te vin dejwente pandan li t ap lite avè l.
26 And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
Epi nonm nan te di: “Lage m, paske jou a pwòch.” Men Jacob te di: “Mwen p ap lage ou amwenske ke ou beni m.”
27 And he said to him, What is your name? and he answered, Jacob.
Alò, li te di li: “Kòman yo rele ou?” Li te reponn: “Jacob.”
28 And he said to him, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; for you have prevailed with God, and shall be mighty with men.
Li te di: “Yo p ap rele ou Jacob ankò, men Israël; paske ou te lite avèk Bondye, e avèk lòm, epi ou te reyisi.”
29 And Jacob asked and said, Tell me your name; and he said, Therefore do you ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
Alò Jacob te mande li: “Souple, di m non ou.” Li te reponn: “Poukisa ou mande m non mwen?” Epi li te beni li la.
30 And Jacob called the name of that place, the Face of God; for, [said he, ]I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved.
Konsa, Jacob te nonmen kote sa Peniel, paske li te di: “Mwen te wè Bondye fasafas, malgre sa, vi mwen te prezève.”
31 And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
Alò, solèy la te leve sou li nan menm moman li t ap travèse Peniel la, e li te bwate akoz gwo janm nan.
32 Therefore the children of Israel will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because [the angel] touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob—[even] the sinew which was benumbed.
Pou sa, jis jounen jodi a, fis Israël yo pa manje tandon ki tache nan gwo janm nan avèk anch ki sou jwenti a, akoz ke li te touche jwenti gwo janm nan tandon ki tache nan anch lan.
