< Genesis 30 >
1 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob: 'Give me children, or else I die.'
Alò, lè Rachel te wè ke li pa t fè pitit pou Jacob, li te vin jalou. Li te di a Jacob: “Ban mwen pitit, oswa, m ap mouri.”
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said: 'Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?'
Epi chalè Jacob te brile kont Rachel. Li te di: “Èske mwen nan plas Bondye, ki te anpeche vant ou bay fwi a?”
3 And she said: 'Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may be builded up through her.'
Li te reponn: “Men sèvant mwen an, Bilha, antre an relasyon avèk li pou li kapab pouse fè sou jenou mwen yo. Konsa, pa li menm, mwen kapab fè timoun tou.”
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife; and Jacob went in unto her.
Epi li te ba li sèvant li, Bilha kòm madanm, e li te antre nan relasyon avèk li.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Bilha te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis pou Jacob.
6 And Rachel said: 'God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son.' Therefore called she his name Dan.
Alò, Rachel te di: “Bondye te ban mwen rezon. Li te vrèman tande vwa m, e Li te ban mwen yon fis.” Pou sa, li te nonmen li Dan.
7 And Bilhah Rachel's handmaid conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Sèvant a Rachel la, Bilha te vin ansent ankò, e li te fè pou Jacob yon dezyèm fis.
8 And Rachel said: 'With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed.' And she called his name Naphtali.
Alò, Rachel te di: “Avèk gwo lit mwen te mennen avèk sè mwen an, mwen te vrèman vin genyen l.” Epi li te nonmen li Nephtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
Lè Léa te wè ke li pa t fè pitit ankò, li te pran sèvant li a, Zilpa, e li te bay li a Jacob kòm madanm.
10 And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a son.
Sèvant a Léa a, Zilpa te fè yon fis pou Jacob.
11 And Leah said: 'Fortune is come!' And she called his name Gad.
Konsa, Léa te di: “A la chans!” Epi li te nonmen li Gad.
12 And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a second son.
Sèvant Léa a, Zilpa te fè pou Jacob yon dezyèm fis.
13 And Leah said: 'Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy.' And she called his name Asher.
Epi Léa te di: “A la kontan mwen kontan! Pou sa, fanm yo va rele mwen kontan.” Epi li te nonmen li Aser.
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah: 'Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.'
Alò, nan jou rekòlt ble yo, Reuben te sòti pou twouve mandragò nan chan an, e li te pote yo bay manman li, Léa. Alò, Rachel te di a Léa: “Souple, ban m kèk nan mandragò fis ou yo.”
15 And she said unto her: 'Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also?' And Rachel said: 'Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.'
Men Léa te di l: “Èske se yon ti bagay sa ye pou ou pou pran mari mwen? Konsa, èske ou ta renmen pran mandragò a fis mwen yo tou?” Rachel te reponn: “Pou sa, li kapab kouche avè ou aswè a, kòm twòk pou mandragò a fis ou yo.”
16 And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said: 'Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son's mandrakes.' And he lay with her that night.
Lè Jacob te sòti nan chan an nan aswè, alò, Léa te sòti pou rankontre li. Li te di l: “Ou oblije antre an relasyon ak mwen aswè a, paske vrèman mwen te achte ou avèk mandragò a fis mwen yo.” Epi li te kouche avèk li nan nwit lan.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Bondye te okipe Léa, e li te fè yon senkyèm fis pou Jacob.
18 And Leah said: 'God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
Epi Léa te di: “Bondye te ban mwen salè mwen, akoz ke m te bay sèvant mwen an a mari mwen.”
19 And Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Léa te vin ansent ankò, e li te fè yon sizyèm fis pou Jacob.
20 And Leah said: 'God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons.' And she called his name Zebulun.
Alò Léa te di: “Bondye te ban mwen yon bon kado! Koulye a mari mwen va rete avè m akoz ke mwen fè sis fis pou li.” Alò li te nonmen li Zabulon.
21 And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
Apre sa li te fè yon fi, e li te nonmen li Dina.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
Alò, Bondye te sonje Rachel. Li te okipe li, e Li te louvri vant li.
23 And she conceived, and bore a son, and said: 'God hath taken away my reproach.'
Konsa, li te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis. Konsa, li te di: “Bondye retire repwòch mwen.”
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying: 'The LORD add to me another son.'
Li te rele li Joseph, e li te di: “Ke SENYÈ a ban m yon lòt fis.”
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban: 'Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
Alò, li te rive ke lè Rachel te fè Joseph, Jacob te di a Laban: “Voye mwen ale, pou mwen kapab ale nan pwòp plas mwen e nan pwòp peyi mwen.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go; for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.'
Ban mwen madanm mwen yo, ak pitit mwen yo, pou sila mwen te sèvi ou yo. Kite mwen pati, paske ou menm ou konnen sèvis ke m te rann ou yo.”
27 And Laban said unto him: 'If now I have found favour in thine eyes — I have observed the signs, and the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.'
Men Laban te di li: “Si sa fè ou plezi, rete avè m; mwen devine ke Bondye te beni mwen akoz ou menm.”
28 And he said: 'Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.'
Li te pale toujou: “Nonmen salè ou, e mwen va ba ou li”.
29 And he said unto him: 'Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me.
Men li te di li: “Ou menm ou konnen jan mwen te sèvi ou, ak jan bèt ou yo te byen okipe avè m.
30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased abundantly; and the LORD hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned. And now when shall I provide for mine own house also?'
Paske ou pa t gen anpil lè m te vini an, yo vin miltipliye anpil, e SENYÈ a te beni ou tout kote ke m vire. Men koulye a, se lè pou mwen okipe pwòp lakay mwen tou?”
31 And he said: 'What shall I give thee?' And Jacob said: 'Thou shalt not give me aught; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it.
Epi Laban te di: “Kisa mwen kapab ba ou?” Epi Jacob te reponn: “Ou pa bezwen ban m anyen. Si w ap fè yon sèl bagay pou mwen, mwen va okipe bann ou yo ankò, epi kenbe yo.
32 I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every dark one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and of such shall be my hire.
Kite mwen pase nan tout bann mouton ou yo, pou retire chak mouton ki takte, oswa trase, avèk tout sa ki nwa pami ti mouton yo, chak sa ki takte oswa trase pami kabrit yo. Se sa yo ki va sèvi kòm salè mwen.
33 So shall my righteousness witness against me hereafter, when thou shalt come to look over my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and dark among the sheep, that if found with me shall be counted stolen.'
Konsa entegrite mwen va reponn pou mwen pita, lè ou vin parèt konsènan salè mwen. Chak sa ki pa takte, oswa trase pami kabrit yo, e ki nwa pami jenn mouton yo, si li twouve avè m, konsidere ke mwen te vòlè l.”
34 And Laban said: 'Behold, would it might be according to thy word.'
Laban te di li: “Sa bon. Kite sa fèt selon pawòl ou.”
35 And he removed that day the he-goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the dark ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Alò, nan menm jou sa a, li te rete tout mal kabrit ki te trase, oswa takte, ak tout femèl kabrit ki te takte, chak ki te gen blan ladann, ak tout nwa pami mouton yo, e li te bay fis li yo okipe yo.
36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
Epi li te mete yon distans twa jou antre li menm avèk Jacob, e Jacob te bay manje a tout rès bann mouton yo pou Laban.
37 And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, making the white appear which was in the rods.
Jacob te pran bwa vèt nan pye sikrèn, pye zanmann, ak pye bwadòm, e li te kale tras blan nan yo pou fè parèt blan ki te nan bwa yo.
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink.
Li te plase bwa li te kale yo devan bann mouton yo, nan flèv dlo yo, e nan basen dlo kote bann mouton yo te vin bwè a. Se la yo te kwaze lè yo te vin pou bwè.
39 And the flocks conceived at the sight of the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.
Alò, bann mouton yo te kwaze kote bwa kale yo, e yo te fè pote sa ki te trase, takte e pentle yo.
40 And Jacob separated the lambs — he also set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the dark in the flock of Laban — and put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban's flock.
Jacob te separe ti mouton yo, e te fè bann mouton yo rete anfas, pou yo t ap gade tout sa ki te trase yo, ak tout nwa yo, ki te nan bann mouton Laban yo. Li te mete pwòp bann mouton li yo apa, pou yo pa t avèk bann mouton Laban yo.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;
Anplis de sa, nenpòt kilè bèt ki pi fò nan bann mouton yo ta kwaze, Jacob ta mete bwa yo devan zye a bèt ki nan basen dlo yo, pou yo ta kwaze akote bwa yo;
42 but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
men lè bann mouton an te fèb, li pa t mete yo ladann. Konsa pi fèb yo te vin pou Laban, e pi fò yo pou Jacob.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
Konsa, nonm nan te vin pwospere anpil. Li te vin gen gwo bann mouton, sèvant ak sèvitè, chamo avèk bourik.
