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.
Alò, Isaac te rele Jacob, li te beni li, li te kòmande li, e li te di: “Ou p ap pran yon fanm nan fi Canaan yo.”
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 ale Paddan-Aram, lakay Bethuel, papa a manman ou. De la, pran yon madanm pami fi a Laban yo, frè manman ou an.
3 And may my God bless you, and increase you, and multiply you, and you shall become gatherings of nations.
“Ke Bondye Toupwisan an kapab beni ou, bay ou anpil fwi, e fè ou miltipliye pou yo kapab devni yon gran fòs kantite moun.
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.
Ke li kapab osi bay ou benediksyon Abraham nan, pou ou menm, ak pou desandan ou yo osi, ke ou kapab posede peyi kote w ap demere a, ke Bondye te bay a Abraham nan.”
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.
Alò, Isaac te voye Jacob ale. Li te ale Paddan-Aram a Laban, fis a Bethuel la, Arameyen an, frè Rebecca, manman a Jacob ak Ésaü.
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;
Epi Ésaü te wè ke Isaac te beni Jacob e te voye li ale Paddan-Aram pou pran pou li menm yon madanm, e ke lè li te beni li, li te bay li lòd, e te di: “Ou pa pou pran yon madanm nan fi a Canaan yo,”
7 and [that] Jacob listened to his father and his mother, and went to Mesopotamia of Syria.
epi ke Jacob te obeyi papa li, ak manman li, li te ale Paddan-Aram.
8 And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Chanaan were evil before his father Isaac,
Konsa Ésaü te wè ke fi Canaan yo pa t plè papa li Isaac.
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.
Konsa, Ésaü te ale kote Ismaël, e li te marye, anplis ke madanm yo li te gen deja, Mahalath, fi Ismaël la, fis Abraham nan, sè Nebajoth la.
10 And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.
Konsa, Jacob te kite Beer-Schéba e te ale vè Charan.
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 te vini nan yon sèten kote pou te pase nwit lan la, akoz solèy la te gen tan fin kouche. Li te pran youn nan wòch yo, li te mete l anba tèt li, e li te kouche la nan plas sila a.
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 te fè yon rèv, e li te gade yon nechèl yo te mete sou latè, tèt li te rive nan syèl la. Epi gade, zanj Bondye yo t ap monte desann sou li.
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, gade byen, SENYÈ a te kanpe anwo li. Li te di: “Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye papa Abraham nan ak Bondye Isaac la. Tè sa kote ou kouche a, Mwen va bay ou li pou ou menm ak desandan 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.
Desandan ou yo va tankou pousyè latè, e ou va gaye nan lwès, nan lès, nan nò, ak nan sid. Konsa, nan ou avèk desandan ou yo, tout fanmi sou latè yo va beni.
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.
“Gade byen, Mwen avèk ou. Mwen va kenbe ou nenpòt kote ou ale, e Mwen va fè ou retounen nan peyi sa a. Paske Mwen p ap kite ou jiskaske Mwen fin fè tout sa ke M te pwomèt nou an.”
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
Alò, Jacob te leve nan dòmi an, e li te di: “Anverite SENYÈ a nan plas sila a, e mwen pa t konnen.”
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.
Li te pè, e li te di: “Alò, A la etonnan plas sa a etonnan! Sila a pa lòt ke lakay Bondye, e sa se pòtay 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.
Konsa, Jacob te leve bonè nan maten. Li te pran wòch ke li te plase anba tèt li a, e li te etabli li tankou yon pilye. Li te vide lwil sou tèt pilye a.
19 And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.
Li te rele plas sa a Béthel, men oparavan non a vil sa a se te Luz.
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,
Epi Jacob te fè yon sèman. Li te di: “Si Bondye ale avèk mwen, si Li va kenbe mwen nan vwayaj sila ke m ap fè a, e Li va ban mwen manje pou m manje, ak rad pou m mete,
21 and bring me back in safety to the house of my father, then shall the Lord be for a God to me.
pou m ka retounen lakay papa m anpè, pou SENYÈ a va Bondye pa m,
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.
alò, wòch sila a, ke m etabli tankou pilye a, va devni Lakay Bondye. Nan tout sa ke ou ban mwen, mwen va anverite bay yon dim a Ou menm.”
