Genesis 32
1 And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
Jakòb menm ale chemen chemen l'. Li kontre kèk zanj Bondye sou wout li.
2 And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
Lè li wè yo, li di: -Sa se lame Bondye a. Se konsa li rele kote a Manayim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.
Jakòb voye kèk komisyonè devan al jwenn Ezaou, frè li a, nan peyi Seyi, kote Edon te rete a.
4 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.
Men sa li ba yo lòd pou yo di: -Men sa n'a di Ezaou, mèt mwen: Jakòb, nèg pa ou la, voye di ou konsa, li te pase tout tan sa a lakay Laban. Se poutèt sa li te pran tout reta sa a pou l' tounen.
5 And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that your servant might find grace in your sight.
Li gen bèf, bourik, mouton, kabrit, domestik ak sèvant. Li voye di ou sa pou ou ka fè pa l'.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and behold! he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
Lè mesaje yo tounen vin jwenn Jakòb, yo di l': -Nou t ale kote Ezaou, frè ou la. Koulye a li gen tan sou wout pou l' vin kontre ou. Li gen katsan (400) moun ak li.
7 And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.
Jakòb te pè anpil. Li te boulvèse. Li pran moun ki te avè l' yo, li fè yo fè de pòsyon. Li fè menm bagay la ak mouton, bèf, chamo li te genyen yo.
8 And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and strike it, the other camp shall be in safety.
Li t'ap di nan kè l': -Si Ezaou vin atake yon pòsyon, lòt pòsyon an va gen tan chape.
9 And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, you [are] he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of your birth, and I will do you good.
Jakòb lapriyè, li di: -O Bondye Abraram granpapa m' lan, Bondye Izarak papa m' lan! O Seyè, ou menm ki te di m' tounen nan peyi m' kote m' te fèt la! W'a fè tout bagay mache byen pou mwen.
10 Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which you have wrought with your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.
Mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, mwen pa wè poukisa ou fè m' tout favè sa yo, poukisa ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou avè m'. Lè m' t'ap travèse larivyè Jouden, se annik yon baton mwen te gen nan men m'. Koulye a m'ap tounen, mwen tèlman genyen, mwen ka separe yo fè de pòsyon.
11 Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and strike me, and the mother upon the children.
Tanpri, delivre m' non anba men Ezaou, frè mwen an! Mwen pè pou l' pa vin atake nou, pou l' pa touye ata fanm yo ak timoun yo.
12 But you said, I will do you good, and will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.
Chonje sa ou te di m' lan: M'ap fè tout bagay mache byen pou ou. M'ap si tèlman ba ou pitit pitit, moun p'ap ka konte yo. Y'ap tankou grenn sab bò lanmè.
13 And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
Jakòb rete pase nwit la kote l' te ye a. Apre sa, nan sa l' te gen avè l' yo, li chwazi ladan yo pou fè Ezaou, frè l' la, kado.
14 two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
Li pran desan (200) fenmèl kabrit ak vin bouk, desan fenmèl mouton ak vin belye,
15 milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
trant fenmèl chamo nouris ak tout ti chamo yo dèyè yo, karant manman bèf, dis towo, vin fenmèl bourik ak dis mal bourik.
16 And he gave them to his servants [each] drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Li pran bèt yo, li mete chak kalite apa, li renmèt chak kalite bay yonn nan domestik li yo. Li di yo konsa: -Pran devan mwen. Chak moun ap kite yon distans nan mitan bèt pa l' yo ak bèt ki devan l' yo.
17 And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet you, and he ask you, saying, Whose are you? and whither would you go, and whose are these possessions advancing before you?
Epi li pase premye a lòd sa a: -Lè Ezaou, frè m' lan, va kontre ou, l'ap mande ou: Kilès ki mèt ou? Kote ou prale? Pou ki moun bèt sa yo w'ap pouse devan ou konsa a?
18 You shall say, Your servant Jacob's; he has sent gifts to my lord Esau, and behold! he is behind us.
W'a reponn li: Se pou Jakòb, nèg pa ou la. Se yon kado li voye bay Ezaou, mèt mwen an. Li menm, li dèyè, l'ap vini.
19 And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall you speak to Esau when you find him;
Li pase dezyèm lan, twazyèm lan ak tout lòt moun ki t'ap mache dèyè bèt yo menm lòd la. -Men sa nou gen pou n' di Ezaou, lè nou kontre l'.
20 and you shall say, Behold your servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for perhaps he will accept me.
Se pou nou di: Wi, Jakòb, nèg pa ou la, ap vin dèyè nou pye pou pye. Jakòb t'ap di nan kè l'. Avèk tout kado m'ap voye devan m' lan, m'ap fè kè l' kontan. Konsa, lè n'a kontre, ou pa janm konnen, li ka fè pa m'.
21 So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Moun yo pran devan ak kado yo. Men Jakòb rete dèyè, li pase nwit la kote l' te ye a.
22 And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch.
Menm jou lannwit sa a, Jakòb leve, li pran de madanm li yo, de sèvant li yo ak onz pitit gason li yo, li janbe lòt bò larivyè Jabòk, nan pas la.
23 And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
Apre li fin fè yo janbe larivyè a, li fè janbe tout sa li te genyen tou.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
Men li menm, li te rete pou kont li dèyè. Lè sa a, gen yon moun ki mare batay ak li, yo goumen jouk devanjou.
25 And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob's thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him.
Lè nonm lan wè li pa t' ka bat li, li bay Jakòb yon kou nan ren l'. Se konsa zo ren l' dejwente pandan yo t'ap goumen an.
26 And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
Nonm lan di l': -Kite m' ale, paske bajou pral kase. Jakòb reponn li: -Si ou pa beni mwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale.
27 And he said to him, What is your name? and he answered, Jacob.
Nonm lan di: -Ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: -Jakòb.
28 And he said to him, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; for you have prevailed with God, and shall be mighty with men.
Nonm lan di l': -Yo p'ap rele ou Jakòb ankò. Y'ap rele ou Izrayèl, paske ou goumen ak Bondye, ou goumen ak moun, se ou menm ki genyen batay la.
29 And Jacob asked and said, Tell me your name; and he said, Therefore do you ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
Jakòb mande l': -Tanpri, di m' ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: -Poukisa w'ap mande m' ki jan mwen rele? Apre sa li beni Jakòb.
30 And Jacob called the name of that place, the Face of God; for, [said he, ]I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved.
Jakòb di konsa: -Mwen wè Bondye, mwen pa mouri. Se konsa, li rele kote l' te ye a Penyèl.
31 And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
Solèy te gen tan ap leve lè Jakòb kite Penyèl, li t'ap bwete poutèt ren li.
32 Therefore the children of Israel will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because [the angel] touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob—[even] the sinew which was benumbed.
Se poutèt sa, jouk jòdi a, pitit pitit Izrayèl yo pa manje venn ki kenbe zo ren an, paske se sou venn sa a Bondye te frape Jakòb.
