Genesis 30
1 And Rachel, seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die.
Lè Rachèl wè li pa t' kapab fè pitit pou Jakòb, li vin gen yon sèl jalouzi kont sè li a, li di Jakòb: -Fè m' fè pitit! Si se pa sa m'ap mouri sou kont ou!
2 And Jacob being angry with her, answered: Am I as God, who hath deprived thee of the fruit of thy womb?
Jakòb fè kòlè sou Rachèl, li di li: -Eske se mwen ki Bondye? Se li menm ki anpeche ou fè pitit.
3 But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her.
Rachèl di li: -Bon. Men Bila, sèvant mwen an. Kouche avè l'. La fè yon pitit pou mwen. Konsa, gremesi Bila, m'a gen pitit tou.
4 And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,
Se konsa, Rachèl te pran sèvant li a, li bay Jakòb pou madanm. Jakòb kouche ak Bila.
5 When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son.
Bila vin ansent, li fè yon ti gason pou Jakòb.
6 And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son, and therefore she called his name Dan.
Lè sa a, Rachèl di: -Seyè a rann mwen jistis. Li tande vwa mwen. Li ban m' yon gason. Se poutèt sa Rachèl te rele pitit la Dann.
7 And again Bala conceived and bore another,
Apre sa, Bila, sèvant Rachèl la, vin ansent ankò, li fè yon dezyèm gason pou Jakòb.
8 For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephtali.
Rachèl di: -Mwen t'ap mennen yon gwo batay kont sè m' lan devan Bondye. Men se mwen ki genyen. Se konsa li rele pitit la Nèftali.
9 Lia, perceiving that she had left off bearing, gave Zelpha her handmaid to her husband.
Lè Leya wè li te sispann fè pitit, li pran Zilpa, sèvant li a, bay Jakòb pou madanm tou.
10 And when she had conceived and brought forth a son,
Zilpa, sèvant Leya a, fè yon ti gason pou Jakòb.
11 She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad.
Leya di: -Ala fanm gen chans se mwen menm! Se konsa li rele pitit la Gad.
12 Zelpha also bore another.
Zilpa, sèvant Lea a, fè yon dezyèm pitit gason pou Jakòb.
13 And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser.
Leya di konsa: -Ala benediksyon mwen jwenn! Koulye a medam yo pral di jan mwen se yon fanm ki beni. Se konsa li rele pitit la Asè.
14 And Ruben, going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son’s mandrakes.
Pandan rekòt ble a, Woubenn soti al nan jaden, li jwenn kèk mandragò. Li pote rasen yo bay Leya, manman li. Rachèl di Leya konsa: -Tanpri, ban m' kèk moso rasen mandragò pitit ou pote pou ou a.
15 She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son’s mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son’s mandrakes.
Leya reponn li: -Atò ou pa fè m' ase? Ou fin pran mari m', koulye a ou vle pran mandragò pitit gason m' lan tou? Rachèl di l': -Enben, Jakòb va kouche avè ou aswè a pou mandragò pitit gason ou lan.
16 And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son’s mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
Nan aswè, lè Jakòb parèt sot nan jaden, Leya soti al kontre l', li di l' konsa: -Se pou ou vin kouche avè m' aswè a, paske mwen bay mandragò pitit gason m' lan pou sa. Se konsa, jou swa sa a, Jakòb kouche avèk Leya.
17 And God heard her prayers: and she conceived and bore the fifth son,
Bondye reponn lapriyè Leya a. Li vin ansent, epi li fè yon senkyèm pitit gason pou Jakòb.
18 And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
Leya di: -Bondye ban m' sa m' merite a, paske mwen te bay mari m' sèvant mwen an pou madanm. Se konsa, Leya rele pitit gason an Isaka.
19 And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,
Leya vin ansent ankò, li fè yon sizyèm pitit gason pou Jakòb.
20 And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.
Leya di: -Bondye fè m' yon bèl kado. Fwa sa a, mari m' pral pou mwen nèt, paske mwen fè sis pitit gason pou li. Se konsa li rele pitit la Zabilon.
21 After whom she bore a daughter, named Dina.
Apre sa, li fè yon pitit fi. Li rele l' Dena.
22 The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb.
Lè sa a, Bondye vin chonje Rachèl, li reponn lapriyè li, li fè l' ka fè pitit.
23 And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken away my reproach.
Se konsa Rachèl vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. Li di: -Bondye fè yo sispann pase m' nan rizib.
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying: The Lord give me also another son.
Epi Rachèl rele pitit gason an Jozèf, paske li te di: -Se pou Seyè a ba m' yon lòt gason ankò.
25 And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father in law: Send me away that I may return into my country, and to my land.
Apre Rachèl te fè Jozèf, Jakòb di Laban konsa: -Kite m' pati pou m ale lakay mwen nan peyi mwen.
26 Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee.
Ban mwen madanm mwen yo ansanm ak timoun yo pou m' ka ale, paske se pou yo mwen t'ap sèvi ak ou. Ou konnen tout kantite sèvis mwen rann ou.
27 Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake.
Laban reponn li: -Fè m' plezi sa a: mwen rekonèt se poutèt ou Seyè a beni m' tout beni sa a.
28 Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee.
Di m' sa pou m' peye ou, m'a ba ou li.
29 But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands.
Jakòb di l': -Ou konnen jan mwen sèvi avè ou. Ou wè ki jan bann bèt ou yo peple depi yo nan men m'.
30 Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable therefore that I should now provide also for my own house.
Ti sa ou te genyen anvan m' te vini an tounen yon kantite depi mwen mete pye m' isit la. Akòz mwen Seyè a pa manke beni ou. Alekile, li lè pou m' al travay pou tèt pa mwen.
31 And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing: but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed, and keep thy sheep again.
Laban di l': -Kisa pou m' ba ou? Jakòb reponn li: -Ou pa bezwen peye m' pou sa. Men si ou dakò avèk sa mwen pral di ou la, m'a rete ankò pou okipe bèt ou yo.
32 Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled: and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep, as among the goats, shall be my wages.
Jòdi a, mwen pral pwonmennen mache nan mitan tout bèt ou yo. M'ap pran tout ti mouton nwa, ak tout ti kabrit ki takte osinon pentle yo, m'ap mete yo apa. Se sa ase w'a ban mwen pou sèvis mwen.
33 And my justice shall answer for me tomorrow before thee when the time of the bargain shall come: and all that is not of divers colours, and spotted, and brown, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall accuse me of theft.
Lè w'a vin wè sa ou dakò ban mwen an, w'a konnen si m' te fè vis, wi ou non. Lè w'a vin kontwole sa ki pou mwen yo, si mwen gen yon mouton ki pa nwa, osinon yon kabrit ki pa takte ou ki pa pentle, ou mèt konnen se vòlè mwen vòlè ou.
34 And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest.
Laban reponn li: -Dakò. n'a fè l' jan ou di l' la.
35 And he separated the same day the she goats, and the sheep, and the he goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted: and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.
Men menm jou a, Laban wete tout bouk kabrit ki te gen pwal takte osinon ki te gen re sou tout kò yo, ak tout fenmèl kabrit ki te gen pwal takte osinon pentle, ou ankò ki te gen tach blan sou yo. Li wete tout mouton nwa yo, li pran tout bèt sa yo, li renmèt yo bay pitit gason l' yo.
36 And he set the space of three days’ journey betwixt himself and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock.
Apre sa, li pati byen lwen Jakòb avèk bann bèt li yo, li mache pandan twa jou epi li rete. Jakòb menm te pran swen rès mouton ak kabrit Laban yo.
37 And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was divers.
Jakòb koupe kèk branch vèt nan pye sikren, pye zanmann ak pye bwadòm, li wete kèk lèz nan kòs yo. Konsa branch yo te vin gen bann vèt, bann blan sou tout kò yo.
38 And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out: that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive.
Li pran yo, li mete yo tout kote yo bay bèt yo bwè dlo. Li te ranje branch bwa yo la, paske se lè bèt yo vin bwè dlo yo kwaze.
39 And it came to pass that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled.
Konsa, lè bèt yo kwaze devan branch bwa de koulè yo, yo fè pitit takte, pitit pentle, osinon ak re sou tout kò yo.
40 And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams: and all the white and the black were Laban’s: and the rest were Jacob’s, when the flocks were separated one from the other.
Jakòb separe mouton yo, li pran tout mouton ki te takte osinon ki te nwa nan mouton Laban yo, li mete yo apa. Se konsa, li te vin gen yon bann bèt apa ki pa t' mele ak bèt Laban yo.
41 So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them:
Lè bèt ki gra yo ap kwaze, Jakòb mete branch yo devan je yo kote y'ap bwè a. Konsa, yo kwaze devan branch yo.
42 But when the latter coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban’s: and they of the first time, Jacob’s.
Men, li pa mete branch yo lè se bèt mèg yo k'ap kwaze. Se konsa, bèt mèg yo vin pou Laban, epi bèt gra yo vin pou Jakòb.
43 And the man was enriched exceedingly, and he had many flocks, maid servants and men servants, camels and asses.
Jakòb vin rich anpil, Li te gen anpil bèt. Kanta pou sèvant, domestik, chamo ak bourik, li pa t' manke sa.
