Genesis 33
1 Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau arriving, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the sons of Leah and Rachel, and of both the handmaids.
Alò, Jacob te leve zye li. Li te gade, e gade byen, Ésaü t ap vini, ak kat-san òm avèk li. Konsa, li te divize pitit yo pami Léa avèk Rachel avèk de sèvant yo.
2 And he placed the two handmaids and their children at the beginning. Truly, Leah and her sons were in the second place. Then Rachel and Joseph were last.
Li te mete sèvant li yo devan, Léa avèk pitit li yo dèyè yo, e Rachel avèk Joseph an dènye.
3 And advancing, he reverenced prostrate on the ground seven times, until his brother approached.
Men li menm te pran devan yo. Li te bese jis atè sèt fwa, jiskaske li te rive toupre frè li a.
4 And so Esau ran to meet his brother, and he embraced him. And drawing him by his neck and kissing him, he wept.
Ésaü te kouri al jwenn li. Li te anbrase li, te tonbe nan kou li e li te bo li. Konsa, yo te kriye.
5 And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their little ones, and he said: “What do these want for themselves?” and “Are they related to you?” He responded, “These are the little ones that God has given as a gift to me, your servant.”
Li te leve zye li pou wè fanm yo, e li te di: “Se kilès? Sila yo ki avèk ou la a?” Epi Jacob te di: “Pitit ke Bondye nan gras li te bay sèvitè ou.”
6 Then the handmaids and their sons approached and bowed down.
Alò, sèvant lakay yo te vin pwoche avèk pitit pa yo, e yo te bese ba.
7 Likewise Leah, with her sons, came near. And when they had reverenced similarly, last of all, Joseph and Rachel reverenced.
Léa tou te apwoche avèk pitit li yo. Yo te bese ba. Apre, Joseph te vini avèk Rachel, e yo te bese ba.
8 And Esau said, “What are these companies that I have been meeting?” He responded, “So may I find favor before my lord.”
Ésaü te di: “Kisa ou vle di ak tout ekip sa yo ke m rankontre la a?” Jacob te reponn: “Pou jwenn favè nan zye a mèt mwen.”
9 But he said, “I have plenty, my brother; let these be for yourself.”
Men Ésaü te di: “Mwen gen kont mwen, frè m; kite sa ou genyen yo rete pou ou.”
10 And Jacob said: “I beg you, let it not be so. But if I have found favor in your eyes, receive a small present from my hands. For I have looked upon your face as I would look upon the countenance of God. Be gracious to me,
Jacob te di: “Non, souple, si koulye a mwen twouve favè nan zye ou, alò, pran kado a nan men m, paske mwen wè figi ou tankou yon moun ki vin wè figi a Bondye, e ou te byen resevwa m.
11 and take the blessing which I have brought to you, and which God, who bestows all things, has given as a gift to me.” Accepting it reluctantly, at the insistence of his brother,
Souple, pran kado ki te pote pou ou a, paske Bondye te aji avèk gras anvè mwen, e akoz sa m gen anpil:” Konsa, li te vin ankouraje l, e li te aksepte li.
12 he said, “Let us go on together, and I will accompany you on your journey.”
Konsa, Esaü te di: “Annou fè vwayaj nou. Ann ale, e mwen va ale devan nou.”
13 And Jacob said: “My lord, you know that I have with me tender little ones, and sheep, and cows with young. If I cause these to labor too much in walking, all the flocks will die in one day.
Men Jacob te di li: “Mèt mwen, ou konnen ke timoun yo frajil, e ke bann mouton avèk twoupo k ap bay tete yo se yon tèt chaje pou mwen. Si yo pouse twòp, menm pou yon jou, yo va mouri.
14 May it please my lord to go before his servant. And I will follow gradually in his steps, as much as I see my little ones to be able, until I arrive to my lord in Seir.”
Souple, kite mèt mwen an pase devan sèvitè li. Mwen menm mwen va avanse pi dousman, selon nesesite bèt ki devan m yo, ak selon vitès a timoun yo, jis lè m rive vè mèt mwen an nan Séir.”
15 Esau responded, “I beg you, that at least some of the people who are with me may remain to accompany you on the way.” But he said, “There is no need. I have need of one thing only: to find favor in your sight, my lord.”
Ésaü te di: “Souple, kite mwen ba ou kèk nan moun ki avè m yo.” Men li te di: “Poukisa ou fè sa? Kite mwen jwenn favè nan zye a mèt mwen an.”
16 And so Esau returned that day, by the way that he had arrived, to Seir.
Konsa, Ésaü te fè wout li pou Séir menm jou sa a.
17 And Jacob went to Succoth, where, having built a house and pitched tents, he called the name of that place Succoth, that is, ‘Tents.’
Jacob te vwayaje a Succoth. Li te bati pou li menm yon kay, e li te fè pak pou tout bèt li yo, epi pou sa, yo rele plas la Succoth.
18 And he crossed over to Salem, a city of the Shechemites, which is in the land of Canaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria. And he lived near the town.
Alò, Jacob te rive san pwoblèm nan vil Sichem nan peyi Canaan, lè li te sòti Paddan-Aram. Li te fè kan an devan vil la.
19 And he bought the part of the field in which he had pitched his tents from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred lambs.
Li te achte yon mòso tè kote li te monte tant li nan men fis Hamor yo, papa Sichem nan, pou sòm a san pyès lajan.
20 And erecting an altar there, he invoked upon it the most strong God of Israel.
Alò, la li te monte yon lotèl, e li te rele li El-Elohé-Israël.
