Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way, and there met him angels of God.
Jakòb menm ale chemen chemen l'. Li kontre kèk zanj Bondye sou wout li.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is a host of God; and he called the name of that place Machanayim.
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 unto the land of Seir, 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 commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord, to Esau, Thus hath said thy servant Jacob, With Laban have I sojourned, and stayed 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 I have acquired oxen, and asses, flocks, and men-servants, and women-servants; and I send now to tell my lord, to find grace in thy eyes.
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 thy brother, to Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, 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 Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and he felt distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two bands.
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 he said, If Esau should come to the one band and smite it, then the other band which is left may escape.
Li t'ap di nan kè l': -Si Ezaou vin atake yon pòsyon, lòt pòsyon an va gen tan chape.
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy birthplace, and I will deal well with thee:
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 I am not worthy of all the kindness, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
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, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, the mother with 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 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot 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 lodged there that same night; and he took of that which he carried with him a present for 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, and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams.
Li pran desan (200) fenmèl kabrit ak vin bouk, desan fenmèl mouton ak vin belye,
15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she-asses, and ten foals.
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 delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said unto his servants, Pass 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 commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother should meet thee, and ask thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither art thou going? and for whom are these before thee?
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 Then shalt thou say, They belong to thy servant, to Jacob; it is a present sent unto my lord, to Esau; and, behold, also, he is himself 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 so he commanded also the second, also the third, as also all that followed the droves, saying, After this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye 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 say ye moreover, Behold, also thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will receive me kindly.
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 The present went thus on before him; and he lodged himself 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 that night, and he took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Yabbok.
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 sent them over the stream and sent over what he had.
Apre li fin fè yo janbe larivyè a, li fè janbe tout sa li te genyen tou.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
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 when he saw that he could net prevail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was 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, Let me go, for the day hath dawned. And he said, I will not let thee go until thou hast blessed 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 unto him, What is thy name? and he said, Jacob.
Nonm lan di: -Ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: -Jakòb.
28 And he said, Not Jacob shall any more be called thy name, but Israel; for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
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 him, and said, tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost 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 the place Peniel: for I have seen an angel of God face to face, and my life hath been 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 unto him as he passed by Penuel, 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 do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.
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.
