Genesis 28
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Alò, Isaac te rele Jacob, li te beni li, li te kòmande li, e li te di: “Ou p ap pran yon fanm nan fi Canaan yo.”
2 Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
“Leve ale Paddan-Aram, lakay Bethuel, papa a manman ou. De la, pran yon madanm pami fi a Laban yo, frè manman ou an.
3 And the Almighty God bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a company of peoples.
“Ke Bondye Toupwisan an kapab beni ou, bay ou anpil fwi, e fè ou miltipliye pou yo kapab devni yon gran fòs kantite moun.
4 And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, in order that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham!
Ke li kapab osi bay ou benediksyon Abraham nan, pou ou menm, ak pou desandan ou yo osi, ke ou kapab posede peyi kote w ap demere a, ke Bondye te bay a Abraham nan.”
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Alò, Isaac te voye Jacob ale. Li te ale Paddan-Aram a Laban, fis a Bethuel la, Arameyen an, frè Rebecca, manman a Jacob ak Ésaü.
6 And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take a wife thence, blessing him, and giving him a charge saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Epi Ésaü te wè ke Isaac te beni Jacob e te voye li ale Paddan-Aram pou pran pou li menm yon madanm, e ke lè li te beni li, li te bay li lòd, e te di: “Ou pa pou pran yon madanm nan fi a Canaan yo,”
7 and [that] Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-Aram.
epi ke Jacob te obeyi papa li, ak manman li, li te ale Paddan-Aram.
8 And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the sight of Isaac his father.
Konsa Ésaü te wè ke fi Canaan yo pa t plè papa li Isaac.
9 And Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Konsa, Ésaü te ale kote Ismaël, e li te marye, anplis ke madanm yo li te gen deja, Mahalath, fi Ismaël la, fis Abraham nan, sè Nebajoth la.
10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went towards Haran.
Konsa, Jacob te kite Beer-Schéba e te ale vè Charan.
11 And he lighted on a certain place, and lodged there, because the sun had set. And he took [one] of the stones of the place, and made [it] his pillow, and lay down in that place.
Li te vini nan yon sèten kote pou te pase nwit lan la, akoz solèy la te gen tan fin kouche. Li te pran youn nan wòch yo, li te mete l anba tèt li, e li te kouche la nan plas sila a.
12 And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the heavens. And behold, angels of God ascended and descended upon it.
Li te fè yon rèv, e li te gade yon nechèl yo te mete sou latè, tèt li te rive nan syèl la. Epi gade, zanj Bondye yo t ap monte desann sou li.
13 And behold, Jehovah stood above it. And he said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
Epi, gade byen, SENYÈ a te kanpe anwo li. Li te di: “Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye papa Abraham nan ak Bondye Isaac la. Tè sa kote ou kouche a, Mwen va bay ou li pou ou menm ak desandan ou yo.
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Desandan ou yo va tankou pousyè latè, e ou va gaye nan lwès, nan lès, nan nò, ak nan sid. Konsa, nan ou avèk desandan ou yo, tout fanmi sou latè yo va beni.
15 And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done what I have spoken to thee of.
“Gade byen, Mwen avèk ou. Mwen va kenbe ou nenpòt kote ou ale, e Mwen va fè ou retounen nan peyi sa a. Paske Mwen p ap kite ou jiskaske Mwen fin fè tout sa ke M te pwomèt nou an.”
16 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew [it] not.
Alò, Jacob te leve nan dòmi an, e li te di: “Anverite SENYÈ a nan plas sila a, e mwen pa t konnen.”
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Li te pè, e li te di: “Alò, A la etonnan plas sa a etonnan! Sila a pa lòt ke lakay Bondye, e sa se pòtay Syèl la.”
18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had made his pillow, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
Konsa, Jacob te leve bonè nan maten. Li te pran wòch ke li te plase anba tèt li a, e li te etabli li tankou yon pilye. Li te vide lwil sou tèt pilye a.
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but the name of that city was Luz at the first.
Li te rele plas sa a Béthel, men oparavan non a vil sa a se te Luz.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me on this road that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and a garment to put on,
Epi Jacob te fè yon sèman. Li te di: “Si Bondye ale avèk mwen, si Li va kenbe mwen nan vwayaj sila ke m ap fè a, e Li va ban mwen manje pou m manje, ak rad pou m mete,
21 and I come again to my father's house in peace — then shall Jehovah be my God.
pou m ka retounen lakay papa m anpè, pou SENYÈ a va Bondye pa m,
22 And this stone, which I have set up [for] a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will without fail give the tenth to thee.
alò, wòch sila a, ke m etabli tankou pilye a, va devni Lakay Bondye. Nan tout sa ke ou ban mwen, mwen va anverite bay yon dim a Ou menm.”
