Genesis 32
1 Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him.
Jakòb menm ale chemen chemen l'. Li kontre kèk zanj Bondye sou wout li.
2 And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
Lè li wè yo, li di: -Sa se lame Bondye a. Se konsa li rele kote a Manayim.
3 Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom:
Jakòb voye kèk komisyonè devan al jwenn Ezaou, frè li a, nan peyi Seyi, kote Edon te rete a.
4 To whom he gaue commandement, saying, Thus shall ye speake to my lorde Esau: thy seruant Iaakob sayeth thus, I haue bene a stranger with Laban, and taried vnto this time.
Men sa li ba yo lòd pou yo di: -Men sa n'a di Ezaou, mèt mwen: Jakòb, nèg pa ou la, voye di ou konsa, li te pase tout tan sa a lakay Laban. Se poutèt sa li te pran tout reta sa a pou l' tounen.
5 I haue beeues also and Asses, sheepe, and men seruantes, and women seruantes, and haue sent to shew my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
Li gen bèf, bourik, mouton, kabrit, domestik ak sèvant. Li voye di ou sa pou ou ka fè pa l'.
6 So ye messengers came againe to Iaakob, saying, We came vnto thy brother Esau, and hee also commeth against thee and foure hundreth men with him.
Lè mesaje yo tounen vin jwenn Jakòb, yo di l': -Nou t ale kote Ezaou, frè ou la. Koulye a li gen tan sou wout pou l' vin kontre ou. Li gen katsan (400) moun ak li.
7 Then Iaakob was greatly afraid, and was sore troubled, and deuided the people that was with him, and the sheepe, and the beeues, and the camels into two companies.
Jakòb te pè anpil. Li te boulvèse. Li pran moun ki te avè l' yo, li fè yo fè de pòsyon. Li fè menm bagay la ak mouton, bèf, chamo li te genyen yo.
8 For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape.
Li t'ap di nan kè l': -Si Ezaou vin atake yon pòsyon, lòt pòsyon an va gen tan chape.
9 Moreouer Iaakob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Izhak: Lord, which saydest vnto me, Returne vnto thy coutrey and to thy kinred, and I will do thee good,
Jakòb lapriyè, li di: -O Bondye Abraram granpapa m' lan, Bondye Izarak papa m' lan! O Seyè, ou menm ki te di m' tounen nan peyi m' kote m' te fèt la! W'a fè tout bagay mache byen pou mwen.
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and al the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe came I ouer this Iorden, and now haue I gotte two bads.
Mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, mwen pa wè poukisa ou fè m' tout favè sa yo, poukisa ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou avè m'. Lè m' t'ap travèse larivyè Jouden, se annik yon baton mwen te gen nan men m'. Koulye a m'ap tounen, mwen tèlman genyen, mwen ka separe yo fè de pòsyon.
11 I pray thee, Deliuer me from the hande of my brother, from the hande of Esau: for I feare him, least he will come and smite me, and the mother vpon the children.
Tanpri, delivre m' non anba men Ezaou, frè mwen an! Mwen pè pou l' pa vin atake nou, pou l' pa touye ata fanm yo ak timoun yo.
12 For thou saydest; I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seede as the sande of the sea, which can not be nombred for multitude.
Chonje sa ou te di m' lan: M'ap fè tout bagay mache byen pou ou. M'ap si tèlman ba ou pitit pitit, moun p'ap ka konte yo. Y'ap tankou grenn sab bò lanmè.
13 And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
Jakòb rete pase nwit la kote l' te ye a. Apre sa, nan sa l' te gen avè l' yo, li chwazi ladan yo pou fè Ezaou, frè l' la, kado.
14 Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
Li pran desan (200) fenmèl kabrit ak vin bouk, desan fenmèl mouton ak vin belye,
15 Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
trant fenmèl chamo nouris ak tout ti chamo yo dèyè yo, karant manman bèf, dis towo, vin fenmèl bourik ak dis mal bourik.
16 So he deliuered them into the hande of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and saide vnto his seruants, Passe before me, and put a space betweene droue and droue.
Li pran bèt yo, li mete chak kalite apa, li renmèt chak kalite bay yonn nan domestik li yo. Li di yo konsa: -Pran devan mwen. Chak moun ap kite yon distans nan mitan bèt pa l' yo ak bèt ki devan l' yo.
17 And he commanded the formost, saying, If Esau my brother meete thee, and aske thee, saying, Whose seruant art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee?
Epi li pase premye a lòd sa a: -Lè Ezaou, frè m' lan, va kontre ou, l'ap mande ou: Kilès ki mèt ou? Kote ou prale? Pou ki moun bèt sa yo w'ap pouse devan ou konsa a?
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iaakobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and beholde, he him selfe also is behinde vs.
W'a reponn li: Se pou Jakòb, nèg pa ou la. Se yon kado li voye bay Ezaou, mèt mwen an. Li menm, li dèyè, l'ap vini.
19 So likewise commanded he the seconde and the thirde, and all that followed the droues, saying, After this maner, ye shall speake vnto Esau, when ye finde him.
Li pase dezyèm lan, twazyèm lan ak tout lòt moun ki t'ap mache dèyè bèt yo menm lòd la. -Men sa nou gen pou n' di Ezaou, lè nou kontre l'.
20 And ye shall say moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iaakob commeth after vs (for he thought, I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterwarde I will see his face: it may be that he will accept me.)
Se pou nou di: Wi, Jakòb, nèg pa ou la, ap vin dèyè nou pye pou pye. Jakòb t'ap di nan kè l'. Avèk tout kado m'ap voye devan m' lan, m'ap fè kè l' kontan. Konsa, lè n'a kontre, ou pa janm konnen, li ka fè pa m'.
21 So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
Moun yo pran devan ak kado yo. Men Jakòb rete dèyè, li pase nwit la kote l' te ye a.
22 And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok.
Menm jou lannwit sa a, Jakòb leve, li pran de madanm li yo, de sèvant li yo ak onz pitit gason li yo, li janbe lòt bò larivyè Jabòk, nan pas la.
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
Apre li fin fè yo janbe larivyè a, li fè janbe tout sa li te genyen tou.
24 Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
Men li menm, li te rete pou kont li dèyè. Lè sa a, gen yon moun ki mare batay ak li, yo goumen jouk devanjou.
25 And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him.
Lè nonm lan wè li pa t' ka bat li, li bay Jakòb yon kou nan ren l'. Se konsa zo ren l' dejwente pandan yo t'ap goumen an.
26 And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
Nonm lan di l': -Kite m' ale, paske bajou pral kase. Jakòb reponn li: -Si ou pa beni mwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale.
27 Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
Nonm lan di: -Ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: -Jakòb.
28 Then said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men.
Nonm lan di l': -Yo p'ap rele ou Jakòb ankò. Y'ap rele ou Izrayèl, paske ou goumen ak Bondye, ou goumen ak moun, se ou menm ki genyen batay la.
29 Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there
Jakòb mande l': -Tanpri, di m' ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: -Poukisa w'ap mande m' ki jan mwen rele? Apre sa li beni Jakòb.
30 And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.
Jakòb di konsa: -Mwen wè Bondye, mwen pa mouri. Se konsa, li rele kote l' te ye a Penyèl.
31 And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
Solèy te gen tan ap leve lè Jakòb kite Penyèl, li t'ap bwete poutèt ren li.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh.
Se poutèt sa, jouk jòdi a, pitit pitit Izrayèl yo pa manje venn ki kenbe zo ren an, paske se sou venn sa a Bondye te frape Jakòb.
