Genesis 24
1 And Abraham was old, [and] advanced in age; and Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.
Abraram te fin vye. Li te antre nan granmoun. Seyè a te beni Abraram nan tout bagay.
2 And Abraham said to his servant, the eldest of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Put thy hand, I pray thee, under my thigh,
Abraram te gen yon domestik ki te pi ansyen pase tout lòt yo. Se li menm ki te jeran reskonsab tout byen li yo. Abraram di l' konsa: -Men, mete men ou nan fant janm mwen, fè sèman.
3 and I will make thee swear by Jehovah, the God of the heavens and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am dwelling;
Mwen vle pou ou fè sèman sou Seyè a, Bondye syèl la ak Bondye latè a, pou ou pa chwazi yon madanm pou pitit gason m' lan nan medam k'ap viv nan peyi Kanaran kote m' rete a.
4 but thou shalt go to my land and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
Men, se nan peyi pa m' pou ou ale, pou ou chwazi pami moun menm ras ak mwen yo yon madanm pou Izarak, pitit gason m' lan.
5 And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I, then, bring thy son again in any case to the land from which thou hast removed?
Domestik la mande l': -Kisa pou m' fè si fi a pa vle kite peyi l' pou l' vin avè m' nan peyi sa a? Eske se pou m' mennen pitit gason ou lan ale nan peyi kote ou te soti a?
6 And Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son thither again.
Abraram reponn li: -Non, non, non! Pa janm mennen pitit mwen an laba a!
7 Jehovah the God of the heavens, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land of my nativity, and who has spoken to me, and who has sworn to me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land — he will send his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife for my son thence.
Seyè a, Bondye syèl la, te pran m' fè m' soti lakay papa m' ak nan peyi fanmi mwen. Li pale avè m'. Li fè m' sèman l'ap bay pitit pitit mwen yo peyi sa a. Enben, se li menm ki va fè zanj li pran devan ou, pou ou chwazi yon madanm nan moun laba yo pou pitit gason m' lan.
8 And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be quit of this my oath: only, bring not my son thither again.
Si madanm lan pa vle vin avè ou, w'a konnen ou kit ak sèman ou te fè m' lan. Sèlman, nenpòt jan, pa mennen pitit gason m' lan laba a.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore unto him concerning that matter.
Domestik la mete men l' nan fant janm Abraram, mèt li, epi li sèmante pou l' fè sa l' mande l' fè a.
10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; now all the treasure of his master was under his hand; and he arose and went to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
Domestik la pran dis chamo nan chamo mèt li yo. Li pran yon kantite bèl bagay ki koute chè, li chaje chamo yo. Li leve, li pati, li ale lavil kote Nakò rete a nan peyi Mezopotami.
11 And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water, at the time of the evening, when the women came out to draw [water].
Lè aswè rive, li fè chamo yo kouche bò pi ki lòt bò pòtay lavil la. Se te lè ti medam yo tè konn vin tire dlo.
12 And he said, Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, meet me, I pray thee, [with thy blessing] this day, and deal kindly with my master Abraham.
Li lapriyè, li di: -Seyè, ou menm ki Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen, tanpri, fè m' jwenn jòdi a sa m'ap chache a. Moutre jan ou bon pou Abraram, mèt mwen.
13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.
Men mwen kanpe bò pi a, kote medam yo ap vin chache dlo.
14 And let it come to pass, [that] the maiden to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink, and who will say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, be she whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and hereby I shall know that thou hast dealt kindly with my master.
Mwen mande ou pou jenn fi ki va reponn mwen l'ap ban m' bwè lèfini l'ap bay chamo m' yo bwè tou, lè m'a di l': Tanpri, bese krich ou a ban m' ti gout dlo pou m' bwè, fè se li menm ou chwazi pou Izarak, sèvitè ou la. Lè sa a, m'a konnen jan ou bon pou mèt mwen vre.
15 And it came to pass before he had ended speaking, that behold, Rebecca came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother; and [she had] her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Li t'ap pale toujou lè Rebeka parèt avèk yon krich sou zepòl li. Rebeka te pitit Betwèl. Betwèl sa a te pitit gason Milka ki te marye ak Nakò, frè Abraram lan.
16 And the maiden was very fair in countenance; a virgin, and no man had known her. And she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Se te yon jenn fi. Li te bèl anpil, li te tifi. Li desann nan sous la, li plen krich li. Epi li moute soti deyò.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, sip a little water out of thy pitcher.
Domestik la kouri al jwenn li, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo nan krich ou a non.
18 And she said, Drink, my lord! And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him to drink.
Rebeka reponn li: -Wi. Bwè non, msye. Li desann krich la soti sou zepòl li, li kenbe l' nan men l' pou fè nonm lan bwè.
19 And when she had given him enough to drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have drunk enough.
Lè nonm lan fin bwè, jenn fi a di l': -Mwen pral pran dlo pou chamo ou yo, pou yo ka bwè kont yo tou.
20 And she hasted and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw [water]; and she drew for all his camels.
Li prese vide rès dlo krich la nan yon ti basen pou chamo yo bwè, epi li kouri desann nan sous la al chache dlo jouk tout chamo yo fin bwè kont yo.
21 And the man was astonished at her, remaining silent, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not.
Nonm lan menm te sezi. Li t'ap gade fi a san l' pa di anyen, li t'ap tann pou l' wè si Seyè a pa t' fè l' vwayaje pou gremesi.
22 And it came to pass when the camels had drunk enough, that the man took a gold ring, of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands, ten [shekels] weight of gold,
Lè chamo yo fin bwè, nonm lan pran yon bèl zanno lò ki peze sis gram, li pase l' nan nen Rebeka. Li pran de bèl braslè ki peze san gram, li mete yo nan bra li.
23 and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge?
Epi li mande l': -Pitit ki moun ou ye? Tanpri, di m' non. Eske gen kote lakay papa ou pou m' pase nwit la avèk chamo m' yo?
24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
Jenn fi a reponn: -Mwen se pitit fi Betwèl, yonn nan pitit gason Milka ak Nakò.
25 And she said to him, There is straw, and also much provender with us; also room to lodge.
Li di l' anko: -Lakay nou, nou gen kont pay zèb pou chamo ou yo. Wa jwenn kote pou ou pase nwit la tou.
26 And the man stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah,
Lè sa a, nonm lan tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Seyè a.
27 and said, Blessed be Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has not withdrawn his loving-kindness and his faithfulness from my master; I being in the way, Jehovah has led me to the house of my master's brethren.
Li di: -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen an. Li gen pitye pou li, li kenbe pwomès li te fè l' la. Li mennen m' tout dwat lakay fanmi mèt mwen an.
28 And the maiden ran and told these things to her mother's house.
Jenn fi a kouri lakay manman l'. Li rakonte tout sa ki te rive.
29 And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.
Rebeka te gen yon frè yo rele Laban. Laban kouri deyò al jwenn nonm lan bò sous la.
30 And it came to pass when he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister's hand, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me — that he came to the man, and behold, he was standing by the camels, by the well.
Li te wè zanno a nan nen sè li ak braslè yo nan bra l', li te tande l' ap rakonte sa nonm lan te di l'. Lamenm li al jwenn nonm lan ki te kanpe bò sous la ansanm ak chamo l' yo.
31 And he said, Come in, blessed of Jehovah! why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
Laban di l': -Antre non. Ou se yon nonm Seyè a beni. Poukisa ou rete deyò a konsa? Mwen pare yon kote pou ou nan kay la. Gen plas pou chamo ou yo tou.
32 And the man came into the house; and he ungirded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who were with him.
Nonm lan antre nan kay la. Laban desele chamo yo. Li fè ba yo pay ak zèb. Yo pare dlo pou nonm lan lave pye l', ansanm ak moun ki te avè l' yo.
33 And there was set [meat] before him to eat; but he said, I will not eat until I have made known my business. And he said, Speak on.
Lèfini, yo sèvi yo manje. Men nonm lan di: -Anvan m' manje, se pou m' di sa m' gen pou m' di a. Laban di l': -Bon. Pale non.
34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
Msye pran lapawòl, li di: -Mwen se domestik Abraram.
35 And Jehovah has blessed my master greatly, and he is become great; and he has given him sheep and cattle, and silver and gold, and bondmen and bondwomen, and camels and asses.
Seyè a voye anpil benediksyon sou mèt mwen. Li fè l' vin grannèg. Li ba li mouton, bèf, lajan, lò, domestik, sèvant, chamo, bourik.
36 And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master after she had grown old; and unto him has he given all that he has.
Sara, madanm mèt mwen, te fin vye granmoun lè li te resi fè yon pitit gason pou li. Mèt mwen bay pitit sa a tout sa li genyen.
37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling;
Mèt mwen fè m' fè sèman, li di m' piga m' chwazi yon madanm pou pitit gason l' lan nan medam moun peyi Kanaran kote l' rete a.
38 but thou shalt by all means go to my father's house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.
Men se pou m ale lakay papa l' pou mwen chwazi yon madanm nan ras li pou pitit gason l' lan.
39 And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me?
Lè sa a, mwen di mèt mwen: Bon, si fi a pa vle vini avè m', kisa pou m' fè?
40 And he said to me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way, that thou mayest take a wife for my son of my family, and out of my father's house.
Li reponn mwen: Seyè a ki wè jan mwen toujou obeyi l' va voye zanj li avè ou. Li p'ap fè ou vwayaje pou gremesi. Ou va chwazi yon madanm nan fanmi papa m' pou gason m' lan.
41 Then shalt thou be quit of my oath, when thou shalt have come to my family. And if they give thee not [one], thou shalt be quit of my oath.
Si ou fè sa, w'a kit ak sèman ou te fè m' lan. Konsa tou, si ou rive kay fanmi m', si yo menm yo refize, w'a kit ak sèman ou te fè m' lan tou.
42 And I came this day to the well, and said, Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, if now thou wilt prosper my way on which I go,
Jòdi a, lè m' rive bò sous dlo a, mwen di: Seyè, Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen an, si sa fè ou plezi, fè m' pa vwayaje pou gremesi.
43 behold, I stand by the well of water, and let it come to pass that the damsel who cometh forth to draw [water], and to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water out of thy pitcher to drink,
Gade, m'ap rete kanpe bò sous dlo a. Lè m'a wè yon jenn fi k'ap vin chache dlo nan pi a, m'a va di l': Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo nan krich ou a pou m' bwè. Si li reponn mwen:
44 and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels — that she should be the woman whom Jehovah hath appointed for my master's son.
Ou mèt bwè! Apre sa, m'a bay chamo ou yo bwè tou, tanpri fè se li menm ou chwazi pou madanm pitit mèt mwen an.
45 Before I ended speaking in my heart, behold, Rebecca came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder, and went down to the well, and drew [water]; and I said to her, Give me, I pray thee, to drink.
Mwen pa t' menm fin di pawòl sa yo nan kè m', lè m' wè Rebeka rive ak krich li sou zepòl li. Li desann nan sous la, li pran dlo epi mwen di l': Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo pou m' bwè.
46 And she hasted and let down her pitcher from her [shoulder], and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. And I drank; and she gave the camels drink also.
Lamenm, li desann krich la soti sou zepòl li, li di m': Bwè non. Apre sa, m'a bay chamo ou yo bwè tou. Mwen bwè, epi li bay chamo m' yo bwè tou.
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
Mwen mande l': Pitit ki moun ou ye? Li reponn mwen: Mwen se pitit fi Betwèl, pitit gason Milka ak Nakò. Lè sa a, mwen mete zanno a nan nen l', mwen mete braslè sa yo nan bra l'.
48 And I stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah; and I blessed Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has led me the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.
Mwen tonbe ajenou, mwen bese tèt mwen jouk atè devan Seyè a, mwen fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen an, paske li mennen m' tout dwat lakay frè mèt mwen an, kote mwen jwenn yon madanm pou pitit gason l' lan.
49 And now, if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; and I will turn to the right hand or to the left.
Alèkile, si nou vle aji byen avè l', si nou vle fè l' konfyans, fè m' konnen. Si nou pa dakò, fè m' konnen tou, pou m' ka konnen sa pou m' fè.
50 And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Jehovah: we cannot speak to thee bad or good.
Laban ak Betwèl reponn: -Bagay sa a se travay Seyè a, Bondye a. Nou pa gen anyen pou n' di nan sa.
51 Behold, Rebecca is before thee: take [her], and go away; and let her be wife of thy master's son, as Jehovah has said.
Men Rebeka devan ou, pran li, mennen l' ale pou l' vin madanm pitit gason mèt ou a, jan Bondye te di l' la.
52 And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed down to the earth before Jehovah.
Lè domestik Abraram lan tande sa, li tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Seyè a.
53 And the servant brought forth silver articles, and gold articles, and clothing, and he gave [them] to Rebecca; and he gave to her brother, and to her mother, precious things.
Apre sa, li pran rale bèl bijou fèt an ajan ak an lò ansanm ak rad, li bay Rebeka. Li te bay frè a ak manman an anpil bèl kado tou.
54 And they ate and drank, he and the men that were with him, and lodged. And they rose up in the morning; and he said, Send me away to my master.
Apre sa, domestik Abraram lan manje ansanm ak moun ki te avè l' yo, yo bwè, yo dòmi. Nan maten, lè yo leve, domestik la di: -Kite m' tounen al jwenn mèt mwen.
55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us [some] days, or [say] ten; after that she shall go.
Men, frè a avèk manman an di konsa: -Kite fi a pase dis jou ankò avèk nou non. Apre sa, n'a pati.
56 And he said to them, Do not hinder me, seeing Jehovah has prospered my way: send me away, and I will go to my master.
Li reponn yo: -Pa ban m' reta. Seyè a pa fè m' vwayaje pou gremesi. Tanpri, kite m' al jwenn mèt mwen.
57 And they said, Let us call the maiden and inquire at her mouth.
Yo di l': -Bon. Ann rele fi a. Ann mande l' sa l' di nan sa.
58 And they called Rebecca and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Yo rele Rebeka, yo mande l': -Eske ou vle ale ak nonm sa a? Li reponn: -Wi, mwen vle ale.
59 And they sent away Rebecca their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
Se konsa yo kite Rebeka, sè yo a, ansanm ak bòn ki te nouris li a pati avèk domestik Abraram lan, ansanm ak moun ki te vin avè l' yo.
60 And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; mayest thou become thousands of tens of thousands; and may thy seed possess the gate of their enemies!
Yo beni Rebeka, yo di l': -Rebeka, sè nou, nou mande Bondye pou ou fè anpil anpil pitit. Se pou pitit pitit ou yo bat tout lènmi yo.
61 And Rebecca arose, and her maids, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebecca, and went away.
Apre sa, Rebeka avèk tout sèvant li yo leve, yo moute chamo yo, yo pati avèk nonm lan. Domestik la pran l', li pati ak li.
62 And Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi; for he was dwelling in the south country.
Lè sa a, Izarak te vini nan dezè a, bò kote Pi moun vivan ki wè m' lan. Li te rete nan peyi Negèv.
63 And Isaac had gone out to meditate in the fields toward the beginning of evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, camels were coming.
Yon jou swa, Izarak t'ap pwonmennen deyò nan jaden li, li t'ap kalkile. Li leve je l', li gade, li wè kèk chamo ki t'ap vini.
64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and she sprang off the camel.
Menm lè a tou, Rebeka leve je l', li wè Izarak. Li desann chamo a.
65 And she had said to the servant, Who is the man that is walking in the fields to meet us? And the servant said, That is my master! Then she took the veil, and covered herself.
Li mande domestik la: -Ki msye sa a k'ap mache vin jwenn nou nan jaden an? Domestik la reponn li: -Se mèt mwen an wi. Rebeka pran yon vwal, li bouche figi l'.
66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
Domestik la rakonte Izarak tout sa li te fè.
67 And Isaac led her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after [the death of] his mother.
Izarak mennen Rebeka lakay li, kay ki te pou Sara, manman l' lan. Li pran l' pou madanm li. Izarak te renmen Rebeka. Se konsa li te jwenn konsolasyon, apre li te fin pèdi manman l' lan.
