Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids:
Alò, Jacob te leve zye li. Li te gade, e gade byen, Ésaü t ap vini, ak kat-san òm avèk li. Konsa, li te divize pitit yo pami Léa avèk Rachel avèk de sèvant yo.
2 And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last.
Li te mete sèvant li yo devan, Léa avèk pitit li yo dèyè yo, e Rachel avèk Joseph an dènye.
3 And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.
Men li menm te pran devan yo. Li te bese jis atè sèt fwa, jiskaske li te rive toupre frè li a.
4 Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.
Ésaü te kouri al jwenn li. Li te anbrase li, te tonbe nan kou li e li te bo li. Konsa, yo te kriye.
5 And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant.
Li te leve zye li pou wè fanm yo, e li te di: “Se kilès? Sila yo ki avèk ou la a?” Epi Jacob te di: “Pitit ke Bondye nan gras li te bay sèvitè ou.”
6 Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.
Alò, sèvant lakay yo te vin pwoche avèk pitit pa yo, e yo te bese ba.
7 Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.
Léa tou te apwoche avèk pitit li yo. Yo te bese ba. Apre, Joseph te vini avèk Rachel, e yo te bese ba.
8 And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord.
Ésaü te di: “Kisa ou vle di ak tout ekip sa yo ke m rankontre la a?” Jacob te reponn: “Pou jwenn favè nan zye a mèt mwen.”
9 But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.
Men Ésaü te di: “Mwen gen kont mwen, frè m; kite sa ou genyen yo rete pou ou.”
10 And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favour in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me,
Jacob te di: “Non, souple, si koulye a mwen twouve favè nan zye ou, alò, pran kado a nan men m, paske mwen wè figi ou tankou yon moun ki vin wè figi a Bondye, e ou te byen resevwa m.
11 And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother’s earnest pressing him,
Souple, pran kado ki te pote pou ou a, paske Bondye te aji avèk gras anvè mwen, e akoz sa m gen anpil:” Konsa, li te vin ankouraje l, e li te aksepte li.
12 And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.
Konsa, Esaü te di: “Annou fè vwayaj nou. Ann ale, e mwen va ale devan nou.”
13 And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die.
Men Jacob te di li: “Mèt mwen, ou konnen ke timoun yo frajil, e ke bann mouton avèk twoupo k ap bay tete yo se yon tèt chaje pou mwen. Si yo pouse twòp, menm pou yon jou, yo va mouri.
14 May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir.
Souple, kite mèt mwen an pase devan sèvitè li. Mwen menm mwen va avanse pi dousman, selon nesesite bèt ki devan m yo, ak selon vitès a timoun yo, jis lè m rive vè mèt mwen an nan Séir.”
15 Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight.
Ésaü te di: “Souple, kite mwen ba ou kèk nan moun ki avè m yo.” Men li te di: “Poukisa ou fè sa? Kite mwen jwenn favè nan zye a mèt mwen an.”
16 So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.
Konsa, Ésaü te fè wout li pou Séir menm jou sa a.
17 And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.
Jacob te vwayaje a Succoth. Li te bati pou li menm yon kay, e li te fè pak pou tout bèt li yo, epi pou sa, yo rele plas la Succoth.
18 And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town:
Alò, Jacob te rive san pwoblèm nan vil Sichem nan peyi Canaan, lè li te sòti Paddan-Aram. Li te fè kan an devan vil la.
19 And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs.
Li te achte yon mòso tè kote li te monte tant li nan men fis Hamor yo, papa Sichem nan, pou sòm a san pyès lajan.
20 And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.
Alò, la li te monte yon lotèl, e li te rele li El-Elohé-Israël.
