Genesis 27
1 Isaac was old and going blind. He called for Esau, his oldest son, and said, “My son.” “I'm here,” Esau replied.
Izarak te fin vye granmoun, je l' pa t' bon, li pa t' kapab wè ladan yo ankò. Li rele premye pitit li a, Ezaou, li di l' konsa: -Pitit mwen, Ezaou reponn li: -Men mwen wi, papa.
2 “I'm old now,” said Isaac, “I may die soon, who knows?
Izarak di l': -Ou wè jan m' fin vye. Mwen pa konn ki jou m'ap mouri.
3 So please take your bow and arrows and go hunting in the countryside for some meat for me.
Tanpri, pran zam ou yo, flèch ou yo ak banza ou la. Ale nan bwa a, chase jibye pou mwen.
4 Make me that tasty food that I love and bring it to me to eat, so I can bless you before I die.”
Lèfini, pare vyann lan jan ou konnen mwen renmen l' lan, pote l' ban mwen. m'a manje. Epi m'a ba ou benediksyon mwen anvan m' mouri.
5 Rebekah heard what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau left to go hunting in the countryside for wild game,
Rebeka menm t'ap tande sa Izarak t'ap di Ezaou, gason l' lan. Ezaou soti, li pati li al lachas pou papa l'.
6 Rebekah told her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father tell your brother,
Lè sa a, Rebeka di Jakòb, pitit li a: -Men mwen fèk tande papa ou di Ezaou, frè ou la:
7 ‘Get me some wild game and make me some tasty food so I can eat it and then bless you in the presence of the Lord before I die.’
Al chase jibye pote pou mwen, kwit li, m'a manje. Apre sa, m'a beni ou devan Seyè a anvan m' mouri.
8 Now then, my son, listen to me and do exactly what I tell you.
Koulye a, pitit mwen, koute sa m'ap di ou: Fè sa m'ap mande ou la.
9 Go to the flock and bring me two nice young goats. I'll cook them and make the tasty food your father loves.
Ale pran de jenn kabrit byen gra nan bann lan, pote yo ban mwen. m'a pare yo pou papa ou jan m' konnen li renmen l' lan.
10 Then you take it to your father to eat, so he can bless you in the presence of the Lord before he dies.”
W'a pote l' bay papa ou, la manje, la beni ou anvan l' mouri.
11 “But listen,” Jacob replied to his mother Rebekah, “my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I'm a smooth man.
Jakòb reponn manman l': -Men manman, Ezaou, frè mwen an, gen pwal sou tout kò li. Mwen menm, po pa m' lis.
12 Maybe my father will notice when he touches me. Then it will look like I'm deceiving him and I'll bring a curse down on myself instead of a blessing.”
Si papa m' manyen m', la wè se twonpe m'ap twonpe l'. Lè sa a pase li ban mwen benediksyon, la ban m' madichon pito.
13 “Let the curse fall on me, my son,” his mother replied. “Just do what I tell you. Go and get the young goats for me.”
Men manman an reponn: -Madichon la ba ou a va tonbe sou mwen, pitit mwen. Ou menm, fè sa mwen di ou fè a, al chache kabrit yo mennen ban mwen.
14 So Jacob went and got them and took them to his mother, and she made some tasty food, the way his father loved.
Jakòb ale chache bèt yo, li mennen yo bay manman l'. Manman l' pare yon manje jan li konnen papa a te renmen l' lan.
15 Then Rebekah went and got her older son Esau's best clothes that she had at home and put them on Jacob her younger son.
Apre sa, Rebeka pran rad Ezaou, premye pitit li a, pi bèl rad Ezaou te gen lakay la, li mete yo anwo Jakòb, dezyèm pitit li a.
16 She put the goatskins on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
Avèk po ti kabrit yo, li kouvri bra ak kou Jakòb.
17 Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she'd made.
Apre sa, li bay Jakòb manje a avèk pen li te fè.
18 He went in to see his father, and called out, “My father, I'm here.” “Which son are you?” Isaac asked.
Jakòb al jwenn papa l', li di: -Papa. Izarak reponn li: -Men mwen, pitit mwen. Kilès nan nou ki la a?
19 “It's me Esau, your firstborn son,” Jacob told his father. “I did what you told me. So please sit up and eat some of my wild game meat so you can bless me.”
Jakòb reponn: -Se mwen menm Ezaou, premye gason ou lan. Mwen fè sa ou te di m' fè a. Leve non, chita. Manje vyann mwen pote pou ou a. Apre sa, wa ban mwen benediksyon.
20 “How did you find an animal so fast, my son?” Isaac asked. “Because the Lord your God sent it my way,” Jacob replied.
Izarak di Jakòb: -Ki jan ou fè jwenn bèt la vit konsa, pitit mwen? Jakòb reponn li: -Seyè a, Bondye ou la, ede m'. Li fè jibye a vin devan mwen.
21 “Come over here so I can touch you, my son,” Isaac told Jacob, “so I can tell if you're really my son Esau or not.”
Izarak di: -Pwoche non. Vini mwen manyen ou, pitit mwen, pou m' wè si wi ou non ou se Ezaou, pitit mwen an.
22 Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “It's Jacob's voice but Esau's hands.”
Jakòb pwoche bò kote Izarak, papa l', ki manyen l'. Epi Izarak di: -Vwa a se vwa Jakòb, men bra a se bra Ezaou.
23 Isaac didn't realize it was really Jacob because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's, so Isaac got ready to bless him.
Li pa t' rekonèt Jakòb, paske bra li te plen pwal tankou bra Ezaou, frè li a. Izarak beni l'.
24 “It's really you, my son Esau?” he asked again. “Yes, it's me,” Jacob replied.
Li di l': -Se vre, se Ezaou, pitit mwen, ou ye? Jakòb reponn li: -Se mwen wi.
25 Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your wild game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.” Jacob brought some for him to eat, as well as some wine for him to drink.
Izarak di l': -Sèvi m' non. m'a manje vyann ou pote a. Apre sa, m'a beni ou. Jakòb sèvi l' manje a, li manje. Lèfini, Jakòb ba li diven, li bwè.
26 Afterwards he said to Isaac, “Come here and kiss me, my son.”
Izarak, papa l', di l': -Pwoche non, pitit mwen. vin bo m'.
27 So Jacob went over and kissed him, and Isaac could smell the clothes Jacob was wearing. So he went ahead with the blessing, saying to himself, “See—the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed.”
Jakòb pwoche, li bo papa l'. Papa a pran sant rad ki te sou li a, epi li ba li benediksyon l'. Li di l': -Sant kò pitit mwen an tankou sant yon jaden Seyè a beni.
28 “May God use the dew of heaven and fertile land to give you rich harvests of grain and new wine!
Se pou Bondye ba ou lawouze ki soti nan syèl la. Se pou l' fè jaden ou donnen anpil. Se pou l' ba ou bèl rekòt ble ak rezen.
29 May the people of different nations serve you and bow down to you. May you rule over your relatives, and may they bow down to you. May everyone who curses you be cursed, and may everyone who bless you be blessed.”
Se pou kantite pèp soumèt devan ou. Se pou kantite nasyon bese tèt devan ou. Se ou menm ki pou mèt frè ou yo. Se pou pitit pitit manman ou yo bese tèt devan ou. Se pou tout moun ki ba ou madichon jwenn madichon. Se pou tout moun ki beni ou jwenn benediksyon.
30 After Isaac finished blessing Jacob—in fact Jacob had just left his father—Esau returned from his hunting trip.
Izarak te fin beni Jakòb. Jakòb te fèk kite papa li, Izarak, lè Ezaou, frè li a, antre soti lachas.
31 He had also made some tasty food, and took it to his father. Esau said to Isaac, “Sit up, my father, and eat some of my wild game so you can bless me.”
Li te pare yon bon plat manje, li pote l' bay papa l'. Li di l': -Leve chita non, papa. Manje vyann pitit ou pote pou ou a, pou ou ka beni l'.
32 “Who are you?” Isaac asked him. “I'm your son, your firstborn son, Esau,” he replied.
Izarak, papa l', mande: -Ki moun sa a? Li reponn: -Se mwen menm, Ezaou, premye pitit gason ou lan.
33 Isaac started to shake all over and asked, “So who was it who went hunting game and then brought it to me? I ate it all before you came back and I blessed him. His blessing will remain.”
Tande Izarak tande sa, li sezi, li pran tranble kou fèy bwa. Li di: -Kilès sa ki te pote ban m' manje jibye li sot chase a? Mwen fèk fin manje anvan ou rive la a. Mwen ba li benediksyon m' lan ki pou li nèt.
34 When Esau heard his father's words, he cried out in great anger and bitterness, and pleaded with his father, “Please bless me too, my father!”
Lè Ezaou tande sa, yon sèl kòlè moute l', li tonbe rele byen fò: -Beni m' tout non, papa!
35 But Isaac replied, “You brother came and deceived me—he stole your blessing!”
Izarak reponn li: -Frè ou la vini, li twonpe m'. Li pran benediksyon ki te pou ou a.
36 “Isn't he well named—Jacob the deceiver!” said Esau. “He's deceived me twice. First he took my birthright, and now he's stolen my blessing! Haven't you kept a blessing for me?”
Ezaou di: -Sa fè dezyèm fwa li pran sak pou mwen. Eske se paske li rele Jakòb la kifè l'ap pase devan m' konsa? Premye fwa a, li te pran dwa m' kòm premye pitit. Men koulye a, li pran benediksyon ki te pou mwen an! Apre sa, li di: -Men papa, èske ou pa gen yon lòt benediksyon pou mwen?
37 Isaac replied to Esau. “I have made him ruler over you, and have said that all his relatives will be his servants. I have declared that he will be well supplied with grain and new wine. So what is left that I can do for you, my son?”
Izarak reponn Ezaou: -Mwen mete l' chèf sou ou. Mwen fè tout rès fanmi an tounen moun k'ap sèvi l'. Mwen ba li mezi pwovizyon l'. Kisa m' ka fè pou ou ankò, pitit mwen?
38 “Do you only have one blessing, my father?” Esau asked. “Please bless me too!” Then Esau began to cry very loudly.
Ezaou di papa a: -Se sèl benediksyon sa a ou te genyen, papa? Tanpri, beni m' tout non, papa! Lè sa a, Ezaou pete yon sèl rèl, li kriye byen fò.
39 Then his father Isaac declared, “Listen! You will live far away from fertile land, far from the dew of heaven that falls from above.
Se konsa Izarak di l': -Latè p'ap ba ou sa l' te dwe ba ou. p'ap gen lawouze ki soti nan syèl la pou wouze jaden ou.
40 You will make a living by using your sword, and you will be your brother's servant. But when you rebel, you will throw off his yoke from your neck.”
Se zam ou k'ap fè ou viv. W'ap sèvi frè ou la, se vre. Men, se pye poudre ou ye, w'a soti anba men l'.
41 From then on Esau hated Jacob because of his father's blessing. Esau said to himself, “Soon the time will come when I'll mourn my father's death. Then I'll kill my brother Jacob!”
Ezaou te rayi Jakòb poutèt papa a te ba li benediksyon ki te pou li a. Li di nan kè l': Papa m' pa lwen mouri. Fini yo fini antere l', m'ap touye Jakòb, frè mwen an.
42 However, Rebekah found out what Esau was saying, so she sent for Jacob. “Look,” she told him, “your brother Esau is making himself feel better by making plans to kill you.
Yo vin rapòte bay Rebeka sa ki te soti nan bouch Ezaou, premye pitit gason l' lan. Li fè rele Jakòb, dezyèm pitit li a, li di l': -Koute! Ezaou, frè ou la, vle tire revanj sou ou. Li vle touye ou.
43 So, my son, listen carefully to what I tell you. Leave immediately and go to my brother Laban in Haram.
Koulye a, pitit mwen, koute sa m'ap di ou la. Leve, pati ale kay Laban, frè mwen an ki rete nan peyi Karan.
44 Stay with him for a while until your brother's anger cools down.
W'a rete kèk tan la avèk li, jouk tan kòlè frè ou la va bese,
45 Once he's cooled down and forgets what you did to him, I'll send for you to come back. Why should I lose both of you in a single day?”
jouk tan la sispann move sou ou, jouk li va bliye sa ou te fè l' la. Lè sa a, atò, m'a voye chache ou, m'a fè ou tounen. Poukisa pou m' ta pèdi tou de pitit gason m' yo yon sèl jou a?
46 Then Rebekah went and told Isaac, “I'm so sick of these Hittite women—they're ruining my life! If Jacob also marries a Hittite woman like them, one of the local people, I'd rather die!”
Rebeka di Izarak konsa: -Mwen degoute, mwen bouke ak bann fi Et sa yo. Pase pou m' ta wè Jakòb pran yonn nan moun sa yo, yonn nan bann fi Et sa yo k'ap viv nan peyi a pou madanm, pito m' mouri!
