Genesis 28
1 And Isaac having called for Jacob, blessed him, and charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites.
Izarak rele Jakòb, li beni l'. Apre sa, li ba li lòd sa a: -Piga ou pran fi peyi Kanaran an pou madanm ou.
2 Rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathuel the father of your mother, and take to yourself thence a wife of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.
Leve non, ale Mezopotami lakay Betwèl, papa manman ou. W'a pran yonn nan piti fi Laban yo pou madanm. Laban, se frè manman ou.
3 And may my God bless you, and increase you, and multiply you, and you shall become gatherings of nations.
Mwen mande Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pou l' beni maryaj ou, pou l' ba ou anpil pitit, pou ou tounen zansèt anpil nasyon.
4 And may he give you the blessing of my father Abraam, even to you and to your seed after you, to inherit the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraam.
Se pou l' beni ou, ou menm ansanm ak tout pitit pitit ou yo, menm jan li te beni Abraram, pou ou ka pran posesyon peyi kote w'ap viv koulye a, peyi li te deja bay Abraram lan.
5 So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Se konsa Izarak fè Jakòb pati. Jakòb ale nan Mezopotami lakay Laban, pitit Betwèl, moun peyi Aram lan. Laban se te frè Rebeka, manman Jakòb ak Ezaou.
6 And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Mesopotamia of Syria as he blessed him, to take to himself a wife thence, and [that] he charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites;
Ezaou vin konnen ki jan Izarak te beni Jakòb, ki jan li te voye l' Mezopotami al chache yon madanm. Li vin konnen tout lè Izarak t'ap beni Jakòb la, li te pase l' lòd sa a: Piga ou pran fi peyi Kanaran an pou madanm ou.
7 and [that] Jacob listened to his father and his mother, and went to Mesopotamia of Syria.
Ezaou te wè Jakob te obeyi papa l' ak manman l', li te pati pou Mezopotami.
8 And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Chanaan were evil before his father Isaac,
Konsa, Ezaou vin wè Izarak papa l' pa t' renmen fi peyi Kanaran yo.
9 Esau went to Ismael, and took Maeleth the daughter of Ismael, the son of Abraam, the sister of Nabeoth, a wife in addition to his [other] wives.
Li leve, li ale lakay Izmayèl, lòt pitit gason Abraram lan, li pran yon lòt madanm mete sou sa li te genyen deja yo. Li marye ak Maalat, yonn nan pitit fi Izmayèl yo. Maalat sa a, se te sè Nebajòt.
10 And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.
Jakòb kite Bècheba, li pati pou Karan.
11 And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took [one] of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place,
Li rive yon kote, li rete pase nwit la la, paske sòlèy te fin kouche. Li pran yon wòch sèvi l' zòrye, epi li kouche atè a konsa pou l' dòmi.
12 and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it.
Li fè yon rèv. Li reve li wè yon nechèl ki te kanpe de pye l' atè ak tèt li pèdi nan syèl la. Zanj Bondye yo t'ap moute desann sou nechèl la.
13 And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of your father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed.
Epi li wè Seyè a kanpe anwo nechèl la. Seyè a t'ap di: -Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, zansèt ou, ak Bondye Izarak. Ou wè tè kote ou kouche a, m'ap ba ou l' pou ou menm ansanm ak tout pitit pitit ou yo.
14 And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.
Pitit pitit ou yo pral menm kantite ak grenn pousyè ki sou latè. Yo pral gaye nan tout direksyon, lès, lwès, nò, sid. Ou menm ak tout pitit pitit ou yo, nou pral tounen yon benediksyon pou tout moun ki sou latè.
15 And behold I am with you to preserve you continually in all the way wherein you shall go; and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not desert you, until I have done all that I have said to you.
Pa bliye, m'ap toujou la avèk ou, m'ap voye je sou ou kote ou pase. M'ap fè ou tounen nan peyi sa a, paske mwen p'ap lage ou san m' pa fè tout sa mwen sot di ou la a.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
Jakòb leve nan dòmi an, li di: -Wè pa wè, Seyè a isit la, mwen pa t' konn sa.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Msye vin pè, li di: -Isit la se yon kote pou moun respekte! Se pa lòt bagay, isit la se kay Bondye ak pòt syèl la.
18 And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone he [had] laid there by his head, and he set it up [as] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
Jakòb leve byen bònè, li pran wòch li te fè sèvi l' zòrye a, li plante l' tankou yon bòn tè, li vide lwil sou li pou mete l' apa pou Bondye.
19 And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.
Li rele kote sa a Betèl. (Anvan sa, lavil la te rele Louz.)
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If the Lord God will be with me, and guard me throughout on this journey, on which I am going, and give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
Jakòb fè yon pwomès bay Seyè a, li di: -Si Bondye toujou kanpe avèk mwen, si li voye je sou mwen nan tout vwayaj sa m'ap fè a, si li ban m' manje pou m' manje ak rad pou m' met sou mwen,
21 and bring me back in safety to the house of my father, then shall the Lord be for a God to me.
si l' fè m' tounen ak kè poze lakay papa m', Seyè a va Bondye m' vre.
22 And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be to me a house of God; and of all whatever you shall give me, I will tithe a tenth for you.
Wòch sa a mwen plante nan tè tankou bòn lan va sèvi kay pou Bondye. m'a ba ou yon dizyèm nan tout sa ou va ban mwen.
