Genesis 43
1 Now great famine was in the land.
Grangou t'ap bat pi rèd nan peyi Kanaran an.
2 And when they had eaten vp the vitaile, which they had brought from Egypt, their father sayd vnto them, Turne againe, and bye vs a little foode.
Lè fanmi Jakòb yo te fin manje ble yo te pote soti nan peyi Lejip la, Jakòb di pitit li yo: -Tounen al chache manje pou nou ankò non.
3 And Iudah answered him, saying, The man charged vs by an othe, saying, Neuer see my face, except your brother be with you.
Jida reponn li: -Nonm lan te byen avèti nou pou nou pa parèt devan l' si nou pa vin ak ti frè nou an.
4 If thou wilt sende our brother with vs, we will goe downe, and bye thee foode:
Si ou vle kite ti frè nou an vin ak nou, nou v al achte manje pou ou.
5 But if thou wilt not send him, we wil not go downe: for the man said vnto vs, Looke me not in the face, except your brother be with you.
Si ou pa vle kite l' ale, n'ap rete, paske msye a te tout di nou: piga nou parèt devan l' ankò si nou pa vin ak ti frè nou an.
6 And Israel sayd, Wherefore delt ye so euill with me, as to tell the man, whether ye had yet a brother or no?
Izrayèl di: -Sa nou te bezwen di l' nou te gen yon ti frè fè? Poukisa nou fè m' sa?
7 And they answered, The man asked straitly of our selues and of our kinred, saying, Is your father yet aliue? haue ye any brother? And wee tolde him according to these wordes: could we knowe certainely that he would say, Bring your brother downe?
Yo reponn li: -Msye a t'ap poze nou keksyon sou nou ak sou fanmi nou. Li mande nou si papa nou la toujou, si nou gen lòt frè, se pou n' te reponn li. Kouman pou n' ta fè konnen li tapral mande nou pou nou mennen ti frè nou an ba li?
8 Then sayde Iudah to Israel his father, Send the boy with mee, that we may rise and goe, and that we may liue and not dye, both we, and thou, and our children.
Jida di Izrayèl, papa l', konsa: -Kite tibway la ale ak nou. Konsa n'a leve, n'a pati. Konsa ni ou menm, ni nou menm, ni timoun nou yo p'ap mouri grangou.
9 I wil be suertie for him: of mine hand shalt thou require him. If I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, then let me beare the blame for euer.
Se nan men m' li ye, se mwen menm ki pou rann ou kont pou li. Si m' pa mennen l' tounen ba ou, si m' pa tounen avè l' la devan ou, se mwen menm k'ap pote fòt la devan ou jouk mwen mouri.
10 For except we had made this tarying, doutlesse by this we had returned the second time.
Si nou pa t' pran tout reta sa a, koulye a nou ta gen tan ale nou tounen de fwa deja.
11 Then their father Israel sayd vnto them, If it must needes be so now, do thus: take of the best fruites of the lande in your vessels, and bring the man a present, a little rosen, and a little hony, spices and myrrhe, nuttes, and almondes:
Lè sa a, Izrayèl, papa yo, di: -Bon. Si se konsa sa ye, men sa pou n' fè: n'ap pran pi bon danre ki gen nan peyi a, n'ap mete nan sak nou, n'ap pote fè nonm lan kado: gonm santi bon, siwo myèl, lansan, lami, pistach ak nwa.
12 And take double money in your hande, and the money, that was brought againe in your sackes mouthes: cary it againe in your hand, lest it were some ouersight.
Lèfini, n'a pran de fwa valè lajan nou bezwen, paske fòk nou renmèt lajan yo te mete nan bouch sak ble yo tou. Ou pa janm konnen, yo ka pa t' wè sa.
13 Take also your brother and arise, and go againe to the man.
Pran frè nou an, tounen kote msye a.
14 And God almightie giue you mercie in the sight of the man, that hee may deliuer you your other brother, and Beniamin: but I shall be robbed of my childe, as I haue bene.
M'ap mande Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pou l' fè nonm lan aji byen ak nou, pou l' ka renmèt nou ni lòt frè nou an, ni Benjamen. Pou mwen menm, si se pou m' pèdi pitit mwen yo, mwen mèt pèdi yo.
15 Thus the men tooke this present, and tooke twise so much money in their hande with Beniamin, and rose vp, and went downe to Egypt and stoode before Ioseph.
Se konsa mesye yo pran kado yo, de fwa valè lajan yo te bezwen ansanm ak Benjamen, yo leve, yo desann peyi Lejip kote yo parèt devan Jozèf.
16 And whe Ioseph saw Beniamin with them, he sayde to his stewarde, Bring these men home and kill meate, and make ready: for the men shall eate with me at noone.
Lè Jozèf wè Benjamen ak yo, li rele chèf domestik li a, li di l': -Mennen mesye sa yo lakay mwen. Touye yon bèt, kwit li, paske mesye sa yo ap manje avè m' midi a.
17 And the man did as Ioseph bad, and brought the men vnto Iosephs house.
Chèf domestik la fè sa Jozèf te di l' fè a, li mennen mesye yo lakay li.
18 Nowe when the men were brought into Iosephs house, they were afrayd, and sayd, Because of the money, that came in our sackes mouthes at the first time, are we brought, that hee may picke a quarrell against vs, and lay some thing to our charge, and bring vs in bondage and our asses.
Men, lè mesye yo wè yo t'ap mennen yo lakay Jozèf, yo te pè anpil. Yo t'ap di: -Se poutèt lajan nou te jwenn nan sak nou yo dènye fwa a kifè y'ap mennen nou bò isit la. Yo pral kenbe nou, yo pral bat nou, y'ap fè nou tounen esklav. Lèfini y'ap pran bourik nou yo.
19 Therefore came they to Iosephs stewarde, and communed with him at the doore of ye house.
Se konsa, antan yo rive nan papòt kay la, yo pwoche bò chèf domestik la,
20 And said, Oh syr, we came in deede down hither at the first time to bye foode,
yo di l': -Eskize nou wi, mèt. Nou te vin isit la yon fwa deja pou n' te achte manje.
21 And as wee came to an ynne and opened our sackes, behold, euery mans money was in his sackes mouth, euen our money in full weight, but we haue brought it againe in our handes.
Lè n'ap tounen lakay nou, nou rive yon kote nou t'ap poze pou pase nwit, nou louvri sak nou yo, nou jwenn tout lajan an nan bouch sak yo, byen konte. Nou pote l' tounen wi.
22 Also other money haue we brought in our handes to bye foode, but we cannot tell, who put our money in our sackes.
Nou pote lòt lajan tout pou n' ka achte manje. Nou pa konnen ki moun ki te mete lajan an nan sak nou yo ankò.
23 And he said, Peace be vnto you, feare not: your God and the God of your father hath giuen you that treasure in your sackes, I had your money: and he brought forth Simeon to them.
Domestik anchèf la di yo: -Pa okipe bagay konsa. Nou pa bezwen pè. Se Bondye nou an, Bondye papa nou an, ki mete richès sa a pou nou nan sak yo. Mwen te resevwa premye lajan an. Lèfini, li mennen Simeyon vin jwenn yo.
24 So the man led them into Iosephs house, and gaue them water to wash their feete, and gaue their asses prouender.
Chèf domestik la mennen mesye yo lakay Jozèf. Li ba yo dlo pou yo lave pye yo, li bay bourik yo manje.
25 And they made ready their present against Ioseph came at noone, (for they heard say, that they should eate bread there)
Mesye yo menm pare kado yo pou lè Jozèf va vin jwenn yo midi, paske yo te vin konnen yo tapral manje avè l'.
26 When Ioseph came home, they brought the present into the house to him, which was in their handes, and bowed downe to the grounde before him.
Lè Jozèf antre lakay li, yo pote kado yo ba li, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li.
27 And he asked them of their prosperitie, and sayd, Is your father the olde man, of whome ye tolde me, in good health? is he yet aliue?
Jozèf mande yo kouman yo ye. Apre sa, li di yo: -Granmoun nou te pale m' lan, papa nou an, ban m' nouvèl li non? Li la toujou? Li byen?
28 Who answered, Thy seruant our father is in good health, he is yet aliue: and they bowed downe, and made obeysance.
Yo reponn li: -Granmoun lan la wi, l'ap debat. Li byen mèsi. Yo tonbe ajenou, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li.
29 And he lifting vp his eyes, beheld his brother Beniamin his mothers sonne, and sayde, Is this your yonger brother, of whome ye tolde me? And he said, God be merciful vnto thee, my sone.
Lè Jozèf fè sa li wè Benjamen, frè menm manman menm papa avè l' la, li di: -Eske se ti frè nou an sa, ti frè nou t'ap pale m' lan? Bondye beni ou, pitit mwen.
30 And Ioseph made haste (for his affection was inflamed towarde his brother, and sought where to weepe) and entred into his chamber, and wept there.
Lè sa a, Jozèf kouri soti byen vit, paske kè l' t'ap fè l' mal pou frè l' yo. Dlo vin nan je l', li antre nan chanm li, li kriye kont li.
31 Afterward he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himselfe, and sayd, Set on meate.
Apre sa, li lave figi l', li soti, li kenbe pou li pa kriye ankò, epi li bay lòd sèvi manje a.
32 And they prepared for him by himselfe, and for them by themselues, and for the Egyptians, which did eate with him, by themselues, because the Egyptians might not eate bread with the Ebrewes: for that was an abomination vnto the Egyptians.
Yo te sèvi yon tab apa pou Jozèf, yon tab apa pou frè l' yo ak yon lòt tab apa pou moun peyi Lejip ki t'ap manje ansanm ak yo tou, paske pou moun peyi Lejip yo, se ta yon wont pou yo chita manje sou menm tab ak ebre yo.
33 So they sate before him: the eldest according vnto his age, and the yongest according vnto his youth. and the men marueiled among themselues.
Frè Jozèf yo te chita anfas li. Yo te mete yo chita dapre laj yo, depi pi gran an jouk pi piti. Lè yo wè sa, yo te sezi, yonn gade lòt.
34 And they tooke meases from before him, and sent to them: but Beniamins mease was fiue times so much as any of theirs: and they drunke, and had of the best drinke with him.
Jozèf te fè yo pran manje sou tab li pote ba yo. Benjamen te resevwa senk fwa plis pase lòt yo. Yo manje, yo bwè, yo fete ansanm avè l'.
