Genesis 29
1 And Jacob continued his journey, and went into the land of the children of the east.
Alò, Jacob te ale nan vwayaj li a, e li te vini nan peyi ki te pou fis a lès yo.
2 And he looked, and behold, there was a well in the fields, and behold there, three flocks of sheep were lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks, and a great stone was at the mouth of the well.
Lè li te gade, li te wè yon pwi nan chan an, e gade byen, te gen twa bann mouton ki te kouche la akote li, paske se te avèk pwi sa a ke yo te bay tout bèt yo dlo. Alò, wòch la sou bouch pwi a te byen laj.
3 And when all the flocks were gathered there, they rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the mouth of the well in its place.
Lè tout bèje mouton yo te rasanble la, yo te konn woule wòch la sòti nan bouch pwi a, pou te bay mouton yo dlo, e te remete wòch la nan plas li sou bouch pwi a.
4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
Jacob te di yo: “Frè m yo, kibò nou sòti?”: Yo te reponn: “Nou sòti nan Charan.”
5 And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know [him].
Li te di yo: “Èske nou konnen Laban, fis Nachor a?” Epi yo te di: “Nou konnen li.”
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, [He is] well; and behold, there comes Rachel his daughter with the sheep.
Li te mande yo: “Èske tout bagay ale byen pou li?” Epi yo te reponn: “Wi, tout bagay ale byen pou li. Men fi li a, Rachel k ap vini avèk mouton yo.”
7 And he said, Behold, it is yet high day; it is not time that the cattle should be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, feed [them].
Li te di: “Gade byen, li toujou gwo lajounen; li poko lè pou rasanble bèt. Bay bèt yo dlo, e mete yo nan patiraj toujou.”
8 And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep.
Men yo te di: “Nou pa kapab jiskaske tout bèje mouton yo fin rasanble, e yo woule wòch la sòti nan bouch pwi a. Se nan lè sa a nou va bay mouton yo dlo.”
9 While he was still speaking to them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
Pandan li t ap pale avèk yo, Rachel te parèt avèk mouton papa l yo, paske li te yon bèje.
10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.
Lè Jacob te wè Rachel, fi Laban an, frè manman li, ak mouton Laban yo, frè manman l, Jacob te pwoche. Li te woule wòch la sòti nan pwi a, e li te bay dlo a bann mouton Laban an, frè manman l lan.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.
Epi Jacob te bo Rachel. Li te leve vwa li, e li te kriye.
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was a brother of her father, and that he was Rebecca's son; and she ran and told her father.
Jacob te di Rachel ke li te yon moun fanmi papa l, e ke li te fis a Rebecca. Li te kouri di papa l sa.
13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house; and he told Laban all these things.
Alò, lè Laban te tande nouvèl Jacob la, fis a sè li, li te kouri pou ale rankontre avè l e te anbrase li. Li te bo li, e te mennen li lakay li. Konsa, Jacob te eksplike Laban tout bagay sa yo.
14 And Laban said to him, Thou art indeed my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him a month's time.
Laban te di li: “Anverite, ou se zo mwen avèk chè mwen.” Konsa, li te rete avèk li pandan yon mwa.
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall be thy wages?
Alò Laban te di a Jacob: “Akoz ke ou se moun fanmi mwen, èske sa vle di ke ou ta dwe sèvi mwen gratis? Di m, kisa pou m bay ou kòm salè?”
16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
Alò, Laban te gen de fi. Non pi gran an se te Léa, e lòt la se te Rachel.
17 And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of beautiful form and beautiful countenance.
Epi zye a Léa yo te fèb, men Rachel te byen bèl nan figi l, ni nan fòm li.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Alò Jacob te renmen Rachel, e konsa li te di: “Mwen va sèvi ou pandan sèt ane pou fi ou ki pi jèn nan, Rachel.”
19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
Laban te di: “Li pi bon pou m bay ou li pase pou m ta bay li a yon lòt gason. Rete avè m.”
20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they were in his eyes as single days, because he loved her.
Jacob te sèvi sèt ane pou Rachel, men yo te parèt a li menm kòmsi se te kèk jou akoz lamou li te gen pou li.
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
Konsa, Jacob te di a Laban: “Ban mwen madanm mwen, paske tan mwen an gen tan fin konplete, pou m kapab antre nan relasyon avè l.”
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Laban te rasanble tout mesye yo nan plas la, e li te fè yon gwo fèt.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
Men nan aswè, li te pran fi li, Léa, e li te mennen li kote Jacob. Li te antre an relasyon avèk li.
24 And Laban gave to her Zilpah, his maidservant, to be maidservant to Leah his daughter.
Laban osi te bay sèvant li, Zilpa, pou Léa kòm sèvant.
25 And it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Have I not served thee for Rachel? Why then hast thou deceived me?
Nan maten, gade byen, li vin parèt ke se te Léa! Konsa, li te di a Laban: “Kisa sa ou te fè m la a? “Èske se pa pou Rachel ke m te sèvi ou a? Poukisa ou fè m desepsyon sila a?”
26 And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Men Laban te di: “Se pa koutim peyi nou pou fè maryaj a pi jèn nan avan premye ne a.
27 Fulfil the week [with] this one: then we will give thee the other one also, for the service that thou shalt serve me yet seven other years.
Konplete semèn nan avèk sila a, e nou va bay ou lòt la tou; pou sèvis sa a, ou va sèvi m yon lòt sèt ane.”
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week [with] this one, and he gave him Rachel his daughter to be his wife.
Jacob te fè sa, li te konplete semèn nan avèk fi a, e li te ba li fi li, Rachel, kòm madanm li.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah, his maidservant, to be her maidservant.
Laban osi te bay sèvant li, Bilha a fi li, Rachel kòm sèvant li.
30 And he went in also to Rachel; and he loved also Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet seven other years.
Alò, Jacob te antre an relasyon ak Rachel osi, e vrèman, li te renmen Rachel plis ke Léa, e li te sèvi avèk Laban pandan yon lòt sèt ane.
31 And when Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
Alò, SENYÈ a te wè ke Léa te manke renmen, e Li te ouvri vant li, men Rachel te rete san pitit.
32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.
Léa te vin ansent. Li te fè yon fis, e li te nonmen li Reuben, paske li te di: “Akoz ke SENYÈ a te wè doulè mwen, asireman koulye a mari mwen va renmen m.”
33 And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.
Li te vin ansent ankò, li te fè yon fis, e li te di: “Akoz ke SENYÈ a te tande ke mwen te rayi, pou sa Li te ban mwen fis sila a osi.” Alò, li te bay li non Siméon.
34 And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Now this time will my husband be united to me, for I have borne him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.
Li te vin ansent ankò, li te fè yon fis. Konsa, li te di: “Alò fwa sa a mari mwen va vin atache a mwen, paske mwen te fè twa fis pou li.” Pou sa, li te nonmen li Lévi.
35 And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, This time will I praise Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah. And she ceased to bear.
Epi li te vin ansent ankò. Li te fè yon fis, e li te di: “Fwa sa, mwen va louwe SENYÈ a.” Pou sa li te nonmen li Juda. Epi konsa, li te vin sispann fè pitit.
