< Genesis 31 >

1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying: 'Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this wealth.'
Alò, Jacob te tande pawòl fis Laban yo ki te vin di: “Jacob te retire tout sa ki te pou papa nou, e avèk sa ki te pou papa nou, li te fè tout richès li.”
2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.
Jacob te wè konpòtman Laban, e gade byen, li pa t emab anvè li jan li te ye avan an.
3 And the LORD said unto Jacob: 'Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.'
Epi SENYÈ a te di a Jacob: “Retounen nan peyi a zansèt ou yo, a moun ou yo, e mwen va avèk ou.”
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
Alò Jacob te voye rele Rachel avèk Léa vè bann mouton li nan chan an.
5 and said unto them: 'I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime; but the God of my father hath been with me.
Konsa, li te di yo: “Mwen wè ke konpòtman papa nou anvè mwen menm pa emab jan li te ye lontan an, men Bondye a papa m nan te avèk mwen.
6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
Nou konnen ke mwen te sèvi papa nou avèk tout fòs mwen.
7 And your father hath mocked me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
Malgre sa, papa nou te twonpe mwen, e li te chanje salè mwen dis fwa, men Bondye pa t kite li fè m donmaj.
8 If he said thus: The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the flock bore speckled; and if he said thus: The streaked shall be thy wages; then bore all the flock streaked.
Si li te pale konsa: ‘Takte yo se salè ou’, alò, tout bann mouton yo te bay pitit takte. Epi si li te pale konsa ke trase yo te salè ou, alò tout bann mouton yo te bay pitit trase.
9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
Konsa Bondye te retire bèt yo nan men papa ou, e Li te ban mwen yo.
10 And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
“Epi li te rive ke lè bann mouton yo a t ap kwaze, ke mwen te leve zye mwen, mwen te wè nan yon rèv, e gade byen, mal kabrit ki t ap kwaze yo te trase, takte, e mele.
11 And the angel of God said unto me in the dream: Jacob; and I said: Here am I.
“Alò, zanj Bondye a te di mwen nan rèv la: ‘Jacob,’ epi mwen te di: ‘Men mwen.’
12 And he said: Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled; for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
“Li te di: ‘Koulye a leve zye ou, pou wè ke tout mal kabrit ki t ap kwaze yo te trase, takte, e mele, paske Mwen te wè tout sa ke Laban te fè ou yo.
13 I am the God of Beth-el, where thou didst anoint a pillar, where thou didst vow a vow unto Me. Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity.'
Mwen menm se Bondye a Béthel la, kote ou te vide lwil sou yon pilye, kote ou te fè sèman a Mwen menm nan. Konsa, leve, kite tè sa a, e retounen nan peyi nesans ou a.’”
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him: 'Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
Rachel avèk Léa te di li: “Èske nou gen yon pati nan eritaj lakay papa nou an ki rete?
15 Are we not accounted by him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath also quite devoured our price.
Èske li pa rekonèt nou kòm etranje? Paske li gen tan vann nou. Anplis, li te manje tout byen nou ranmase.
16 For all the riches which God hath taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.'
Vrèman, tout byen ke Bondye te rachte nan men papa nou yo, se pou nou avèk pitit nou ke yo ye. Alò, fè sa ke Bondye te di ou fè a.”
17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;
Alò, Jacob te leve. Li te mete pitit li yo avèk madanm li yo sou chamo yo.
18 and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.
Konsa, li te voye pouse tout bèt yo avèk tout byen ke li te rasanble yo, bèt ke li te vin gen nan Paddan-Aram yo, pou ale nan peyi Canaan vè papa li, Isaac.
19 Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.
Lè Laban te ale pou taye plim mouton li yo, Rachel te vòlè zidòl lakay ki te pou papa li yo.
20 And Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, in that he told him not that he fled.
Konsa, Jacob te twonpe Laban, Arameyen an. Li pa t di li ke li t ap sove ale.
21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
Li te sove ale avèk tout sa ke li te genyen, epi li te leve pou travèse lariviyè Euphrate la, ak figi li byen fikse vè peyi mòn Galaad yo.
22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
Lè yo te di Laban nan twazyèm jou ke Jacob te sove ale a,
23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
li te pran moun fanmi li yo, pou l te kouri dèyè li pandan sèt jou. Konsa, li te vin rive devan li nan ti kolin nan peyi Galaad yo.
24 And God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night, and said unto him: 'Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.'
Bondye te parèt a Laban, Arameyen an, nan yon rèv nan nwit lan. Li te di li: “Fè atansyon pou ou pa pale a Jacob ni byen, ni mal.”
25 And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountain of Gilead.
Laban te vin rive devan Jacob. Alò Jacob te monte tant li nan peyi kolin yo, e Laban avèk moun pa li yo te rete nan peyi kolin Galaad yo.
26 And Laban said to Jacob: 'What hast thou done, that thou hast outwitted me, and carried away my daughters as though captives of the sword?
Alò, Laban te di a Jacob: “Kisa ou te fè m la a lè ou te twonpe m e fè eskalad avèk fi mwen yo tankou prizonyè ki sou nepe?
27 Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and outwit me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;
Poukisa ou te sove ale an sekrè? Ou fè m desepsyon sa a, e ou pa di m sa pou m ta kapab voye ou ale avèk jwa, ak chante, tanbouren ak ap?
28 and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now hast thou done foolishly.
Ou pa t menm kite m bo fis mwen yo, ak fi mwen yo. Alò, ou gen tan fè betiz.
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke unto me yesternight, saying: Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Li nan pouvwa mwen pou m fè nou mal, men Bondye a papa ou a te pale avèk mwen yèswa. Li te di: ‘Pinga ou pale ni byen, ni mal a Jacob’.
30 And now that thou art surely gone, because thou sore longest after thy father's house, wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?'
Alò, vrèman ou te sòti paske ou te anvi wè lakay papa ou, men poukisa ou te vòlè dye mwen yo?”
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'Because I was afraid; for I said: Lest thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by force.
Jacob te reponn Laban: “Akoz ke m te pè, paske mwen te panse ke ou ta rachte fi ou yo nan men mwen pa lafòs.
32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live; before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee.' — For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. —
Sila ki twouve avèk dye ou yo p ap viv. Nan prezans tout fanmi nou yo, montre m sa ki pou ou nan byen mwen yo, e pran li pou ou menm.” Paske Jacob pa t konnen ke Rachel te gen tan vòlè yo.
33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he found them not. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
Alò, Laban te antre nan tant Jacob la, nan tant Léa a, ak nan tant sèvant yo, men li pa t twouve yo.
34 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the saddle of the camel, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all the tent, but found them not.
Alò, Rachel te pran zidòl lakay yo. Li te mete yo nan sèl chamo a, e li te chita sou yo. Konsa, Laban te manyen toupatou nan tant lan, men li pa t twouve yo.
35 And she said to her father: 'Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee; for the manner of women is upon me.' And he searched, but found not the teraphim.
Li te di a papa li: “Pa kite mèt mwen an fache avè m, pwiske mwen p ap ka leve devan ou, paske se règ mwen ki sou mwen.” Alò, li te chache, men li pa t jwenn zidòl kay yo.
36 And Jacob was wroth, and strove with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me?
Alò, Jacob te vin fache. Li te konfwonte Laban. Jacob te di l: “Ki tò mwen te fè ou? Ki peche mwen te fè konsa pou ou vin pouswiv mwen tou cho konsa?
37 Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us two.
Malgre ou gen tan manyen tout afè m, kisa ou te twouve ladan yo ki pou lakay ou? Mete li isit la devan moun pa m avèk moun pa ou yo, pou yo ka pran yon desizyon antre nou de a.
38 These twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flocks have I not eaten.
“Pandan ventan mwen te la avè w. Mouton ou yo avèk kabrit ou yo pa janm pèdi pitit, ni mwen pa t manje belye nan bann mouton ou yo.
39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bore the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
Sa ki te chire pa bèt sovaj, èske m pa te pote yo bay ou? Mwen te fè pèt la pou kont mwen. Se konsa ou te egzije sa ki nan men m, sof ke sa ki vòlè nan lajounen, sof ke sa ki vòlè nan lannwit.
40 Thus I was: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
Konsa mwen te ye: Nan lajounen, solèy la te manje m, fredi nan lannwit, e dòmi te vòlè sove ale nan zye mwen.
41 These twenty years have I been in thy house: I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
Pandan ven ane sa yo, mwen te lakay ou. Mwen te sèvi ou katòz ane pou de fi ou yo, sis ane pou bann mouton ou yo, e ou te fè chanjman salè mwen dis fwa.
42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been on my side, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and gave judgment yesternight.'
Si Bondye a papa m nan, Bondye a Abraham nan pa t pou mwen, vrèman koulye a ou t ap kab voye m ale men vid. Bondye te wè afliksyon mwen, ak travay di ke men m te gen tan fè, epi Li te rann jijman an yèswa.”
43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob: 'The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine; and what can I do this day for these my daughters, or for their children whom they have borne?
Laban te reponn a Jacob: “Fi yo se fi m, pitit yo se pitit mwen, bann mouton yo se bann mouton mwen. Tout sa ou wè la yo se pa m. Men kisa m ka fè nan jou sa pou sila yo, a fi mwen yo, oswa a pitit pa yo ke yo te fè?
44 And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.'
Alò, kounye a vin non, annou fè yon akò, ou menm avèk mwen menm. Annou fè li kòm yon temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
Konsa, Jacob te pran yon gwo wòch. Li te fè l kanpe tankou yon pilye.
46 And Jacob said unto his brethren: 'Gather stones'; and they took stones, and made a heap. And they did eat there by the heap.
Jacob te di a tout relasyon fanmi pa li a: “Sanble wòch”! Epi yo te pran wòch yo. Yo te fè yon gwo pil, e yo te manje la akote pil la.
47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha; but Jacob called it Galeed.
Alò Laban te rele la Jegar-Sahadutha, men Jacob te rele l Galed.
48 And Laban said: 'This heap is witness between me and thee this day.' Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
Laban te di: “Gwo pil wòch sa se yon temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen menm jodi a.” Konsa, li te rele l Galed,
49 and Mizpah, for he said: 'The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
epi osi Mitspa, paske li te di: “Ke Bondye kapab gade antre ou menm avèk mwen lè nou vin absan de youn lòt.
50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, and if thou shalt take wives beside my daughters, no man being with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.'
Si ou maltrete fi mwen yo, oswa si ou pran madanm anplis ke fi mwen yo, malgre pèsòn pa avèk nou, ou wè, Bondye se temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
51 And Laban said to Jacob: 'Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set up betwixt me and thee.
Laban te di a Jacob: “Gade byen gwo pil sa a, e veye byen gwo pilye ke m etabli antre ou menm avèk mwen an.
52 This heap be witness, and the pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
Gwo pil sa a se yon temwen. Pilye a se yon temwen ke mwen p ap pase vè gwo pil sa a pou fè ou mal, e ou p ap pase gwo pil sa a vè mwen pou fè m mal.
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us.' And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Bondye Abraham nan ak Bondye Nachor a, Bondye a papa pa yo a, vin jij antre nou menm.” Konsa Jacob te sèmante pa krent a papa l, Isaac.
54 And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread; and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain.
Alò, Jacob te ofri yon sakrifis sou mòn nan. Li te rele tout gwo fanmi li yo pou vin manje pen. Yo te manje pen sa a, e yo te pase nwit lan sou mòn nan.
55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
Granmmaten, Laban te leve. Li te bo fis li yo ak fi li yo, e li te beni yo. Alò, Laban te retounen nan plas li.
