Genesis 31
1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this glory.
Alò, Jacob te tande pawòl fis Laban yo ki te vin di: “Jacob te retire tout sa ki te pou papa nou, e avèk sa ki te pou papa nou, li te fè tout richès li.”
2 And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as previously.
Jacob te wè konpòtman Laban, e gade byen, li pa t emab anvè li jan li te ye avan an.
3 And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
Epi SENYÈ a te di a Jacob: “Retounen nan peyi a zansèt ou yo, a moun ou yo, e mwen va avèk ou.”
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock,
Alò Jacob te voye rele Rachel avèk Léa vè bann mouton li nan chan an.
5 and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the God of my father has been with me.
Konsa, li te di yo: “Mwen wè ke konpòtman papa nou anvè mwen menm pa emab jan li te ye lontan an, men Bondye a papa m nan te avèk mwen.
6 And you know that with all my power I have served your father.
Nou konnen ke mwen te sèvi papa nou avèk tout fòs mwen.
7 And your father has mocked me, and has changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
Malgre sa, papa nou te twonpe mwen, e li te chanje salè mwen dis fwa, men Bondye pa t kite li fè m donmaj.
8 If he said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked.
Si li te pale konsa: ‘Takte yo se salè ou’, alò, tout bann mouton yo te bay pitit takte. Epi si li te pale konsa ke trase yo te salè ou, alò tout bann mouton yo te bay pitit trase.
9 And God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me.
Konsa Bondye te retire bèt yo nan men papa ou, e Li te ban mwen yo.
10 And it came to pass at the time of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
“Epi li te rive ke lè bann mouton yo a t ap kwaze, ke mwen te leve zye mwen, mwen te wè nan yon rèv, e gade byen, mal kabrit ki t ap kwaze yo te trase, takte, e mele.
11 And the Angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I.
“Alò, zanj Bondye a te di mwen nan rèv la: ‘Jacob,’ epi mwen te di: ‘Men mwen.’
12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.
“Li te di: ‘Koulye a leve zye ou, pou wè ke tout mal kabrit ki t ap kwaze yo te trase, takte, e mele, paske Mwen te wè tout sa ke Laban te fè ou yo.
13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.
Mwen menm se Bondye a Béthel la, kote ou te vide lwil sou yon pilye, kote ou te fè sèman a Mwen menm nan. Konsa, leve, kite tè sa a, e retounen nan peyi nesans ou a.’”
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
Rachel avèk Léa te di li: “Èske nou gen yon pati nan eritaj lakay papa nou an ki rete?
15 Are we not reckoned of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has even constantly devoured our money.
Èske li pa rekonèt nou kòm etranje? Paske li gen tan vann nou. Anplis, li te manje tout byen nou ranmase.
16 For all the wealth that God has taken from our father is ours and our children's; and now whatever God has said to thee do.
Vrèman, tout byen ke Bondye te rachte nan men papa nou yo, se pou nou avèk pitit nou ke yo ye. Alò, fè sa ke Bondye te di ou fè a.”
17 And Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels,
Alò, Jacob te leve. Li te mete pitit li yo avèk madanm li yo sou chamo yo.
18 and carried away all his cattle, and all his property that he had acquired — the cattle of his possessions that he had acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to Isaac his father, into the land of Canaan.
Konsa, li te voye pouse tout bèt yo avèk tout byen ke li te rasanble yo, bèt ke li te vin gen nan Paddan-Aram yo, pou ale nan peyi Canaan vè papa li, Isaac.
19 And Laban had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that [belonged] to her father.
Lè Laban te ale pou taye plim mouton li yo, Rachel te vòlè zidòl lakay ki te pou papa li yo.
20 And Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
Konsa, Jacob te twonpe Laban, Arameyen an. Li pa t di li ke li t ap sove ale.
21 And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed over the river, and set his face [toward] mount Gilead.
Li te sove ale avèk tout sa ke li te genyen, epi li te leve pou travèse lariviyè Euphrate la, ak figi li byen fikse vè peyi mòn Galaad yo.
22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
Lè yo te di Laban nan twazyèm jou ke Jacob te sove ale a,
23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on mount Gilead.
li te pran moun fanmi li yo, pou l te kouri dèyè li pandan sèt jou. Konsa, li te vin rive devan li nan ti kolin nan peyi Galaad yo.
24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Bondye te parèt a Laban, Arameyen an, nan yon rèv nan nwit lan. Li te di li: “Fè atansyon pou ou pa pale a Jacob ni byen, ni mal.”
25 And Laban came up with Jacob; and Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain; Laban also with his brethren pitched on mount Gilead.
Laban te vin rive devan Jacob. Alò Jacob te monte tant li nan peyi kolin yo, e Laban avèk moun pa li yo te rete nan peyi kolin Galaad yo.
26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast deceived me, and hast carried away my daughters as captives of war?
Alò, Laban te di a Jacob: “Kisa ou te fè m la a lè ou te twonpe m e fè eskalad avèk fi mwen yo tankou prizonyè ki sou nepe?
27 Why didst thou flee away covertly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have conducted thee with mirth and with songs, with tambour and with harp;
Poukisa ou te sove ale an sekrè? Ou fè m desepsyon sa a, e ou pa di m sa pou m ta kapab voye ou ale avèk jwa, ak chante, tanbouren ak ap?
28 and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou hast acted foolishly.
Ou pa t menm kite m bo fis mwen yo, ak fi mwen yo. Alò, ou gen tan fè betiz.
29 It would be in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take care that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Li nan pouvwa mwen pou m fè nou mal, men Bondye a papa ou a te pale avèk mwen yèswa. Li te di: ‘Pinga ou pale ni byen, ni mal a Jacob’.
30 And now that thou must needs be gone, because thou greatly longedst after thy father's house, why hast thou stolen my gods?
Alò, vrèman ou te sòti paske ou te anvi wè lakay papa ou, men poukisa ou te vòlè dye mwen yo?”
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, I was afraid; for I said, Lest thou shouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
Jacob te reponn Laban: “Akoz ke m te pè, paske mwen te panse ke ou ta rachte fi ou yo nan men mwen pa lafòs.
32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live. Before our brethren discern what is thine with me, and take [it] to thee. But Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
Sila ki twouve avèk dye ou yo p ap viv. Nan prezans tout fanmi nou yo, montre m sa ki pou ou nan byen mwen yo, e pran li pou ou menm.” Paske Jacob pa t konnen ke Rachel te gen tan vòlè yo.
33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two handmaids' tents, and found nothing; and he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
Alò, Laban te antre nan tant Jacob la, nan tant Léa a, ak nan tant sèvant yo, men li pa t twouve yo.
34 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim and put them under the camel's saddle; and she sat upon them. And Laban explored all the tent, but found nothing.
Alò, Rachel te pran zidòl lakay yo. Li te mete yo nan sèl chamo a, e li te chita sou yo. Konsa, Laban te manyen toupatou nan tant lan, men li pa t twouve yo.
35 And she said to her father, Let it not be an occasion of anger in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me after the manner of women. And he searched carefully, but did not find the teraphim.
Li te di a papa li: “Pa kite mèt mwen an fache avè m, pwiske mwen p ap ka leve devan ou, paske se règ mwen ki sou mwen.” Alò, li te chache, men li pa t jwenn zidòl kay yo.
36 And Jacob was angry, and he disputed with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my fault, what my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
Alò, Jacob te vin fache. Li te konfwonte Laban. Jacob te di l: “Ki tò mwen te fè ou? Ki peche mwen te fè konsa pou ou vin pouswiv mwen tou cho konsa?
37 Whereas thou hast explored all my baggage, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set [it] here before my brethren and thy brethren, and let them decide between us both.
Malgre ou gen tan manyen tout afè m, kisa ou te twouve ladan yo ki pou lakay ou? Mete li isit la devan moun pa m avèk moun pa ou yo, pou yo ka pran yon desizyon antre nou de a.
38 These twenty years have I been with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten.
“Pandan ventan mwen te la avè w. Mouton ou yo avèk kabrit ou yo pa janm pèdi pitit, ni mwen pa t manje belye nan bann mouton ou yo.
39 What was torn I have not brought to thee; I had to bear the loss of it: of my hand hast thou required it, [whether] stolen by day or stolen by night.
Sa ki te chire pa bèt sovaj, èske m pa te pote yo bay ou? Mwen te fè pèt la pou kont mwen. Se konsa ou te egzije sa ki nan men m, sof ke sa ki vòlè nan lajounen, sof ke sa ki vòlè nan lannwit.
40 Thus it was with me: in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
Konsa mwen te ye: Nan lajounen, solèy la te manje m, fredi nan lannwit, e dòmi te vòlè sove ale nan zye mwen.
41 I have been these twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
Pandan ven ane sa yo, mwen te lakay ou. Mwen te sèvi ou katòz ane pou de fi ou yo, sis ane pou bann mouton ou yo, e ou te fè chanjman salè mwen dis fwa.
42 Had not the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, been with me, it is certain thou wouldest have sent me away now empty. God has looked upon my affliction and the labour of my hands, and has judged last night.
Si Bondye a papa m nan, Bondye a Abraham nan pa t pou mwen, vrèman koulye a ou t ap kab voye m ale men vid. Bondye te wè afliksyon mwen, ak travay di ke men m te gen tan fè, epi Li te rann jijman an yèswa.”
43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flock is my flock, and all that thou seest is mine; but as for my daughters, what can I do this day to them, or to their sons whom they have brought forth?
Laban te reponn a Jacob: “Fi yo se fi m, pitit yo se pitit mwen, bann mouton yo se bann mouton mwen. Tout sa ou wè la yo se pa m. Men kisa m ka fè nan jou sa pou sila yo, a fi mwen yo, oswa a pitit pa yo ke yo te fè?
44 And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be a witness between me and thee.
Alò, kounye a vin non, annou fè yon akò, ou menm avèk mwen menm. Annou fè li kòm yon temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.
Konsa, Jacob te pran yon gwo wòch. Li te fè l kanpe tankou yon pilye.
46 And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones. And they took stones, and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap.
Jacob te di a tout relasyon fanmi pa li a: “Sanble wòch”! Epi yo te pran wòch yo. Yo te fè yon gwo pil, e yo te manje la akote pil la.
47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
Alò Laban te rele la Jegar-Sahadutha, men Jacob te rele l Galed.
48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed,
Laban te di: “Gwo pil wòch sa se yon temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen menm jodi a.” Konsa, li te rele l Galed,
49 — and Mizpah; for he said, Let Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we shall be hidden one from another:
epi osi Mitspa, paske li te di: “Ke Bondye kapab gade antre ou menm avèk mwen lè nou vin absan de youn lòt.
50 if thou shouldest afflict my daughters, or if thou shouldest take wives besides my daughters, — no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and thee!
Si ou maltrete fi mwen yo, oswa si ou pran madanm anplis ke fi mwen yo, malgre pèsòn pa avèk nou, ou wè, Bondye se temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between me and thee:
Laban te di a Jacob: “Gade byen gwo pil sa a, e veye byen gwo pilye ke m etabli antre ou menm avèk mwen an.
52 [let] this heap be witness, and the pillar a witness, that neither I pass this heap [to go] to thee, nor thou pass this heap and this pillar [to come] to me, for harm.
Gwo pil sa a se yon temwen. Pilye a se yon temwen ke mwen p ap pase vè gwo pil sa a pou fè ou mal, e ou p ap pase gwo pil sa a vè mwen pou fè m mal.
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us! And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
Bondye Abraham nan ak Bondye Nachor a, Bondye a papa pa yo a, vin jij antre nou menm.” Konsa Jacob te sèmante pa krent a papa l, Isaac.
54 And Jacob offered a sacrifice upon the mountain, and invited his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and lodged on the mountain.
Alò, Jacob te ofri yon sakrifis sou mòn nan. Li te rele tout gwo fanmi li yo pou vin manje pen. Yo te manje pen sa a, e yo te pase nwit lan sou mòn nan.
55 And Laban rose early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban went and returned to his place.
Granmmaten, Laban te leve. Li te bo fis li yo ak fi li yo, e li te beni yo. Alò, Laban te retounen nan plas li.
