Genesis 24
1 Nowe Abraham was olde, and striken in yeeres, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
Abraram te fin vye. Li te antre nan granmoun. Seyè a te beni Abraram nan tout bagay.
2 Therefore Abraham saide vnto his eldest seruant of his house, which had the rule ouer all that he had, Put nowe thine hand vnder my thigh,
Abraram te gen yon domestik ki te pi ansyen pase tout lòt yo. Se li menm ki te jeran reskonsab tout byen li yo. Abraram di l' konsa: -Men, mete men ou nan fant janm mwen, fè sèman.
3 And I will make thee sweare by ye Lord God of the heauen, and God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife vnto my sonne of the daughters of the Canaanites among who I dwel.
Mwen vle pou ou fè sèman sou Seyè a, Bondye syèl la ak Bondye latè a, pou ou pa chwazi yon madanm pou pitit gason m' lan nan medam k'ap viv nan peyi Kanaran kote m' rete a.
4 But thou shalt go vnto my countrey, and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sone Izhak.
Men, se nan peyi pa m' pou ou ale, pou ou chwazi pami moun menm ras ak mwen yo yon madanm pou Izarak, pitit gason m' lan.
5 And the seruant saide to him, What if the woman will not come with me to this land? shall I bring thy sonne againe vnto the lande from whence thou camest?
Domestik la mande l': -Kisa pou m' fè si fi a pa vle kite peyi l' pou l' vin avè m' nan peyi sa a? Eske se pou m' mennen pitit gason ou lan ale nan peyi kote ou te soti a?
6 To whom Abraham answered, Beware that thou bring not my sonne thither againe.
Abraram reponn li: -Non, non, non! Pa janm mennen pitit mwen an laba a!
7 The Lord God of heauen, who tooke me from my fathers house, and from the land where I was borne, and that spake vnto me, and that sware vnto me, saying, Vnto thy seede wil I giue this land, he shall send his Angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife vnto my sonne from thence.
Seyè a, Bondye syèl la, te pran m' fè m' soti lakay papa m' ak nan peyi fanmi mwen. Li pale avè m'. Li fè m' sèman l'ap bay pitit pitit mwen yo peyi sa a. Enben, se li menm ki va fè zanj li pran devan ou, pou ou chwazi yon madanm nan moun laba yo pou pitit gason m' lan.
8 Neuertheles if the woman wil not follow thee, then shalt thou bee discharged of this mine othe: onely bring not my sonne thither againe.
Si madanm lan pa vle vin avè ou, w'a konnen ou kit ak sèman ou te fè m' lan. Sèlman, nenpòt jan, pa mennen pitit gason m' lan laba a.
9 Then the seruant put his hand vnder the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him for this matter.
Domestik la mete men l' nan fant janm Abraram, mèt li, epi li sèmante pou l' fè sa l' mande l' fè a.
10 So the seruant tooke ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed: (for he had all his masters goods in his hand: ) and so he arose, and went to Aram Naharaim, vnto the citie of Nahor.
Domestik la pran dis chamo nan chamo mèt li yo. Li pran yon kantite bèl bagay ki koute chè, li chaje chamo yo. Li leve, li pati, li ale lavil kote Nakò rete a nan peyi Mezopotami.
11 And he made his camels to lye downe without the citie by a well of water, at euentide about the time that the women come out to draw water.
Lè aswè rive, li fè chamo yo kouche bò pi ki lòt bò pòtay lavil la. Se te lè ti medam yo tè konn vin tire dlo.
12 And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I beseech thee, send me good speede this day, and shew mercy vnto my master Abraham.
Li lapriyè, li di: -Seyè, ou menm ki Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen, tanpri, fè m' jwenn jòdi a sa m'ap chache a. Moutre jan ou bon pou Abraram, mèt mwen.
13 Lo, I stand by the well of water, whiles the mens daughters of this citie come out to drawe water.
Men mwen kanpe bò pi a, kote medam yo ap vin chache dlo.
14 Graunt therefore that ye maide, to whom I say, Bowe downe thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drinke: if she say, Drinke, and I will giue thy camels drinke also: may be she that thou hast ordeined for thy seruant Izhak: and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed mercy on my master.
Mwen mande ou pou jenn fi ki va reponn mwen l'ap ban m' bwè lèfini l'ap bay chamo m' yo bwè tou, lè m'a di l': Tanpri, bese krich ou a ban m' ti gout dlo pou m' bwè, fè se li menm ou chwazi pou Izarak, sèvitè ou la. Lè sa a, m'a konnen jan ou bon pou mèt mwen vre.
15 And nowe yer he had left speaking, beholde, Rebekah came out, the daughter of Bethuel, sonne of Milcah the wife of Nahor Abrahams brother, and her pitcher vpon her shoulder.
Li t'ap pale toujou lè Rebeka parèt avèk yon krich sou zepòl li. Rebeka te pitit Betwèl. Betwèl sa a te pitit gason Milka ki te marye ak Nakò, frè Abraram lan.
16 (And the maide was very faire to looke vpon, a virgine and vnknowen of man) and she went downe to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came vp.
Se te yon jenn fi. Li te bèl anpil, li te tifi. Li desann nan sous la, li plen krich li. Epi li moute soti deyò.
17 Then the seruant ranne to meete her, and said, Let me drinke, I pray thee, a litle water of thy pitcher.
Domestik la kouri al jwenn li, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo nan krich ou a non.
18 And she said, Drinke sir: and she hasted, and let downe her pitcher vpon her hand and gaue him drinke.
Rebeka reponn li: -Wi. Bwè non, msye. Li desann krich la soti sou zepòl li, li kenbe l' nan men l' pou fè nonm lan bwè.
19 And when she had giuen him drinke, she said, I will drawe water for thy camels also vntill they haue drunken inough.
Lè nonm lan fin bwè, jenn fi a di l': -Mwen pral pran dlo pou chamo ou yo, pou yo ka bwè kont yo tou.
20 And she powred out her pitcher into the trough speedily; and ranne againe vnto the well to drawe water, and she drewe for all his camels.
Li prese vide rès dlo krich la nan yon ti basen pou chamo yo bwè, epi li kouri desann nan sous la al chache dlo jouk tout chamo yo fin bwè kont yo.
21 So the man wondred at her, and helde his peace, to knowe whether the Lord had made his iourney prosperous or not.
Nonm lan menm te sezi. Li t'ap gade fi a san l' pa di anyen, li t'ap tann pou l' wè si Seyè a pa t' fè l' vwayaje pou gremesi.
22 And when the camels had left drinking, the man tooke a golden abillement of halfe a shekell weight, and two bracelets for her hands, of ten shekels weight of golde:
Lè chamo yo fin bwè, nonm lan pran yon bèl zanno lò ki peze sis gram, li pase l' nan nen Rebeka. Li pran de bèl braslè ki peze san gram, li mete yo nan bra li.
23 And he said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee, Is there roume in thy fathers house for vs to lodge in?
Epi li mande l': -Pitit ki moun ou ye? Tanpri, di m' non. Eske gen kote lakay papa ou pou m' pase nwit la avèk chamo m' yo?
24 Then she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the sonne of Milcah whom she bare vnto Nahor.
Jenn fi a reponn: -Mwen se pitit fi Betwèl, yonn nan pitit gason Milka ak Nakò.
25 Moreouer she said vnto him, We haue litter also and prouender ynough, and roume to lodge in.
Li di l' anko: -Lakay nou, nou gen kont pay zèb pou chamo ou yo. Wa jwenn kote pou ou pase nwit la tou.
26 And the man bowed himselfe and worshipped the Lord,
Lè sa a, nonm lan tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Seyè a.
27 And said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, which hath not withdrawen his mercie and his trueth from my master: for when I was in the way, the Lord brought me to my masters brethrens house.
Li di: -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen an. Li gen pitye pou li, li kenbe pwomès li te fè l' la. Li mennen m' tout dwat lakay fanmi mèt mwen an.
28 And the maide ranne and tolde them of her mothers house according to these wordes.
Jenn fi a kouri lakay manman l'. Li rakonte tout sa ki te rive.
29 Now Rebekah had a brother called Laban, and Laban ranne vnto the man to the well.
Rebeka te gen yon frè yo rele Laban. Laban kouri deyò al jwenn nonm lan bò sous la.
30 For when he had seene the earings and the bracelets in his sisters hands, and when he heard the wordes of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus said the man vnto me, then he went to the man, and loe, he stoode by the camels at the well.
Li te wè zanno a nan nen sè li ak braslè yo nan bra l', li te tande l' ap rakonte sa nonm lan te di l'. Lamenm li al jwenn nonm lan ki te kanpe bò sous la ansanm ak chamo l' yo.
31 And he saide, Come in thou blessed of the Lord: wherefore standest thou without, seeing I haue prepared the house, and roume for ye camels?
Laban di l': -Antre non. Ou se yon nonm Seyè a beni. Poukisa ou rete deyò a konsa? Mwen pare yon kote pou ou nan kay la. Gen plas pou chamo ou yo tou.
32 Then the man came into the house, and he vnsadled the camels, and brought litter and prouender for the camels, and water to wash his feete, and the mens feete that were with him.
Nonm lan antre nan kay la. Laban desele chamo yo. Li fè ba yo pay ak zèb. Yo pare dlo pou nonm lan lave pye l', ansanm ak moun ki te avè l' yo.
33 Afterward the meate was set before him: but he saide, I will not eate, vntill I haue saide my message: And he said, Speake on.
Lèfini, yo sèvi yo manje. Men nonm lan di: -Anvan m' manje, se pou m' di sa m' gen pou m' di a. Laban di l': -Bon. Pale non.
34 Then he said, I am Abrahams seruant,
Msye pran lapawòl, li di: -Mwen se domestik Abraram.
35 And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, that he is become great: for he hath giuen him sheepe, and beeues, and siluer, and golde, and men seruants, and maide seruants, and camels, and asses.
Seyè a voye anpil benediksyon sou mèt mwen. Li fè l' vin grannèg. Li ba li mouton, bèf, lajan, lò, domestik, sèvant, chamo, bourik.
36 And Sarah my masters wife hath borne a sonne to my master, when she was olde, and vnto him hath he giuen all that he hath.
Sara, madanm mèt mwen, te fin vye granmoun lè li te resi fè yon pitit gason pou li. Mèt mwen bay pitit sa a tout sa li genyen.
37 Now my master made me sweare, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my sonne of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Mèt mwen fè m' fè sèman, li di m' piga m' chwazi yon madanm pou pitit gason l' lan nan medam moun peyi Kanaran kote l' rete a.
38 But thou shalt go vnto my fathers house and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sonne.
Men se pou m ale lakay papa l' pou mwen chwazi yon madanm nan ras li pou pitit gason l' lan.
39 Then I saide vnto my master, What if the woman will not follow me?
Lè sa a, mwen di mèt mwen: Bon, si fi a pa vle vini avè m', kisa pou m' fè?
40 Who answered me, The Lord, before who I walke, will send his Angel with thee, and prosper thy iourney, and thou shalt take a wife for my sonne of my kinred and my fathers house.
Li reponn mwen: Seyè a ki wè jan mwen toujou obeyi l' va voye zanj li avè ou. Li p'ap fè ou vwayaje pou gremesi. Ou va chwazi yon madanm nan fanmi papa m' pou gason m' lan.
41 Then shalt thou be discharged of mine othe, when thou commest to my kinred: and if they giue thee not one, thou shalt be free from mine othe.
Si ou fè sa, w'a kit ak sèman ou te fè m' lan. Konsa tou, si ou rive kay fanmi m', si yo menm yo refize, w'a kit ak sèman ou te fè m' lan tou.
42 So I came this day to the well, and said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if thou nowe prosper my iourney which I goe,
Jòdi a, lè m' rive bò sous dlo a, mwen di: Seyè, Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen an, si sa fè ou plezi, fè m' pa vwayaje pou gremesi.
43 Behold, I stand by the well of water: when a virgine commeth forth to drawe water, and I say to her, Giue me, I pray thee, a litle water of thy pitcher to drinke,
Gade, m'ap rete kanpe bò sous dlo a. Lè m'a wè yon jenn fi k'ap vin chache dlo nan pi a, m'a va di l': Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo nan krich ou a pou m' bwè. Si li reponn mwen:
44 And she say to me, Drinke thou, and I will also drawe for thy camels, let her be ye wife, which the Lord hath prepared for my masters sonne.
Ou mèt bwè! Apre sa, m'a bay chamo ou yo bwè tou, tanpri fè se li menm ou chwazi pou madanm pitit mèt mwen an.
45 And before I had made an end of speaking in mine heart, beholde, Rebekah came foorth, and her pitcher on her shoulder, and she went downe vnto the well, and drewe water. Then I said vnto her, Giue me drinke, I pray thee.
Mwen pa t' menm fin di pawòl sa yo nan kè m', lè m' wè Rebeka rive ak krich li sou zepòl li. Li desann nan sous la, li pran dlo epi mwen di l': Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo pou m' bwè.
46 And she made haste, and tooke downe her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drinke, and I will giue thy camels drinke also. So I dranke, and she gaue the camels drinke also.
Lamenm, li desann krich la soti sou zepòl li, li di m': Bwè non. Apre sa, m'a bay chamo ou yo bwè tou. Mwen bwè, epi li bay chamo m' yo bwè tou.
47 Then I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she answered, The daughter of Bethuel Nahors sonne, whom Milcah bare vnto him. Then I put the abillement vpon her face, and the bracelets vpon her hands:
Mwen mande l': Pitit ki moun ou ye? Li reponn mwen: Mwen se pitit fi Betwèl, pitit gason Milka ak Nakò. Lè sa a, mwen mete zanno a nan nen l', mwen mete braslè sa yo nan bra l'.
48 And I bowed downe and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had brought me the right way to take my masters brothers daughter vnto his sone.
Mwen tonbe ajenou, mwen bese tèt mwen jouk atè devan Seyè a, mwen fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen an, paske li mennen m' tout dwat lakay frè mèt mwen an, kote mwen jwenn yon madanm pou pitit gason l' lan.
49 Now therefore, if ye will deale mercifully and truely with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me that I may turne me to the right hand or to the left.
Alèkile, si nou vle aji byen avè l', si nou vle fè l' konfyans, fè m' konnen. Si nou pa dakò, fè m' konnen tou, pou m' ka konnen sa pou m' fè.
50 Then answered Laban and Bethuel, and said, This thing is proceeded of the Lord: we cannot therefore say vnto thee, neither euill nor good.
Laban ak Betwèl reponn: -Bagay sa a se travay Seyè a, Bondye a. Nou pa gen anyen pou n' di nan sa.
51 Beholde, Rebehak is before thee, take her and goe, that she may be thy masters sonnes wife, euen as the Lord hath said.
Men Rebeka devan ou, pran li, mennen l' ale pou l' vin madanm pitit gason mèt ou a, jan Bondye te di l' la.
52 And when Abrahams seruant heard their wordes, he bowed himselfe toward the earth vnto the Lord.
Lè domestik Abraram lan tande sa, li tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Seyè a.
53 Then the seruant tooke foorth iewels of siluer, and iewels of golde, and raiment, and gaue to Rebekah: also vnto her brother and to her mother he gaue gifts.
Apre sa, li pran rale bèl bijou fèt an ajan ak an lò ansanm ak rad, li bay Rebeka. Li te bay frè a ak manman an anpil bèl kado tou.
54 Afterward they did eate and drinke, both he, and the men that were with him, and taried all night. and when they rose vp in the morning, he said, Let me depart vnto my master.
Apre sa, domestik Abraram lan manje ansanm ak moun ki te avè l' yo, yo bwè, yo dòmi. Nan maten, lè yo leve, domestik la di: -Kite m' tounen al jwenn mèt mwen.
55 Then her brother and her mother answered, Let the maide abide with vs, at the least ten dayes: then shall she goe.
Men, frè a avèk manman an di konsa: -Kite fi a pase dis jou ankò avèk nou non. Apre sa, n'a pati.
56 But he said vnto them, Hinder you me not, seeing the Lord hath prospered my iourney: send me away, that I may goe to my master.
Li reponn yo: -Pa ban m' reta. Seyè a pa fè m' vwayaje pou gremesi. Tanpri, kite m' al jwenn mèt mwen.
57 Then they said, We will call the maide, and aske her consent.
Yo di l': -Bon. Ann rele fi a. Ann mande l' sa l' di nan sa.
58 And they called Rebekah, and saide vnto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she answered, I will go.
Yo rele Rebeka, yo mande l': -Eske ou vle ale ak nonm sa a? Li reponn: -Wi, mwen vle ale.
59 So they let Rebekah their sister goe, and her nourse, with Abrahams seruant and his men.
Se konsa yo kite Rebeka, sè yo a, ansanm ak bòn ki te nouris li a pati avèk domestik Abraram lan, ansanm ak moun ki te vin avè l' yo.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and sayde vnto her, Thou art our sister, growe into thousande thousands, and thy seede possesse the gate of his enemies.
Yo beni Rebeka, yo di l': -Rebeka, sè nou, nou mande Bondye pou ou fè anpil anpil pitit. Se pou pitit pitit ou yo bat tout lènmi yo.
61 Then Rebekah arose, and her maydes, and rode vpon the camels, and followed the man. and the seruant tooke Rebekah, and departed.
Apre sa, Rebeka avèk tout sèvant li yo leve, yo moute chamo yo, yo pati avèk nonm lan. Domestik la pran l', li pati ak li.
62 Nowe Izhak came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi, (for he dwelt in the South countrey)
Lè sa a, Izarak te vini nan dezè a, bò kote Pi moun vivan ki wè m' lan. Li te rete nan peyi Negèv.
63 And Izhak went out. to pray in the fielde toward the euening: who lift vp his eyes and looked, and behold, the camels came.
Yon jou swa, Izarak t'ap pwonmennen deyò nan jaden li, li t'ap kalkile. Li leve je l', li gade, li wè kèk chamo ki t'ap vini.
64 Also Rebekah lift vp her eyes, and when she saw Izhak, she lighted downe from the camel.
Menm lè a tou, Rebeka leve je l', li wè Izarak. Li desann chamo a.
65 (For shee had sayde to the seruant, Who is yonder man, that commeth in the fielde to meete vs? and the seruant had said, It is my master) So she tooke a vaile, and couered her.
Li mande domestik la: -Ki msye sa a k'ap mache vin jwenn nou nan jaden an? Domestik la reponn li: -Se mèt mwen an wi. Rebeka pran yon vwal, li bouche figi l'.
66 And the seruant tolde Izhak all things, that he had done.
Domestik la rakonte Izarak tout sa li te fè.
67 Afterward Izhak brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother, and he tooke Rebekah, and she was his wife, and he loued her: So Izhak was comforted after his mothers death.
Izarak mennen Rebeka lakay li, kay ki te pou Sara, manman l' lan. Li pran l' pou madanm li. Izarak te renmen Rebeka. Se konsa li te jwenn konsolasyon, apre li te fin pèdi manman l' lan.
