Genesis 31
1 And he hears the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken all that our father has; indeed, from that which our father has, he has made all this glory”;
Jakòb vin konnen jan pitit gason Laban yo t'ap di: -Jakòb fin pran tou sa ki te pou papa nou. Se byen papa nou li fin ranmase kifè li rich konsa.
2 and Jacob sees the face of Laban, and behold, it is not with him as before.
Jakòb vin wè tout Laban pa t' ba li menm karaktè li te konn ba li anvan an.
3 And YHWH says to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your family, and I am with you.”
Lè sa a, Seyè a di l': -Tounen nan peyi kote ou te fèt la, al jwenn fanmi ou. M'ap toujou la avè ou.
4 And Jacob sends and calls for Rachel and for Leah to the field to his flock;
Se konsa Jakòb fè chache Rachèl ak Leya. Li voye di yo rive kote l' nan savann kote bèt li yo ye a.
5 and says to them, “I am beholding your father’s face—that it is not toward me as before, and the God of my father has been with me,
Li di yo: -Mwen wè karaktè papa nou pa menm jan avè m' ankò. Li chanje anpil, men Bondye papa m' lan toujou avè m'.
6 and you have known that with all my power I have served your father,
Nou tout de nou konnen jan mwen te sèvi ak papa nou ak tout kouraj mwen.
7 and your father has played on me, and has changed my hire ten times; and God has not permitted him to do evil with me.
Men li menm, li toujou ap twonpe mwen. Li chanje lide dis fwa lè lè a rive pou li peye m'. Men, Bondye pa janm kite l' fè m' anyen.
8 If he says thus: The speckled are your hire, then all the flock bore speckled ones; and if he says thus: The striped are your hire, then all the flock bore striped;
Lè Laban di: ou mèt pran tout kabrit takte yo pou ou, tout bann bèt yo tonbe fè pitit takte. Lè li di: m'ap ba ou tout kabrit ki gen re sou tout kò yo, tout bann bèt yo tonbe fè pitit ak re sou tout kò yo.
9 and God takes away the substance of your father, and gives to me.
Se Bondye menm ki pran bann bèt papa nou yo, li ban mwen yo.
10 And it comes to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up my eyes and see in a dream, and behold, the male goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] striped, speckled, and spotted;
Lè bèt yo mande kwaze, mwen fè yon rèv, mwen wè tout bouk ki t'ap kwaze yo se bouk ki takte, ki pentle ak sa ki gen re sou tout kò yo.
11 and the Messenger of God says to me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here I [am].
Zanj Bondye a pale avè m' nan rèv la, li di m': Jakòb. Mwen reponn li: Men mwen wi.
12 And He says, Now lift up your eyes and see [that] all the male goats which are going up on the flock [are] striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you;
Li di m' ankò: Leve je ou gade: tout bouk k'ap vole fenmèl yo se bouk ki takte ak sa ki gen re sou tout kò yo. Se mwen menm k'ap fè sa konsa, paske mwen wè tout sa Laban ap fè ou.
13 I [am] the God of Bethel where you have anointed a standing pillar, where you have vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.”
Mwen se Bondye ki te parèt devan ou lè ou te Betèl, kote ou te mete gwo wòch la apa pou mwen an. Ou chonje, lè sa a, ou te fè yon pwomès ban mwen. Koulye a, leve, kite peyi sa a. Tounen nan peyi kote ou te fèt la.
14 And Rachel answers—Leah also—and says to him, “Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
Rachèl ak Leya reponn Jakòb: -Nou pa gen anyen ankò pou n' eritye nan men papa nou.
15 Have we not been reckoned strangers to him? For he has sold us, and he also utterly consumes our money;
Eske li pa konsidere nou tankou etranje? Li vann nou. Koulye a, li fin manje tout lajan yo te ba li pou nou an.
16 for all the wealth which God has taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children’s; and now, all that God has said to you—do.”
Tout richès Bondye wete nan men papa nou an, se pou nou ansanm ak pitit nou yo. Koulye a, se pou ou fè tout sa Bondye di ou fè.
17 And Jacob rises, and lifts up his sons and his wives on the camels,
Lè sa a, Jakòb leve, li mete pitit li yo ansanm ak madanm li yo sou chamo.
18 and leads all his livestock, and all his substance which he has acquired, the livestock of his getting, which he has acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to his father Isaac, to the land of Canaan.
Li pran tout bèt li yo ansanm ak tout sa li te rive genyen pandan li te Mezopotami an, li mennen yo ale. Li pati, li al jwenn papa l', Izarak, nan peyi Kanaran.
19 And Laban has gone to shear his flock, and Rachel steals the teraphim which her father has;
Lè sa a, Laban t al taye lenn mouton l' yo. Pandan li pa t' la, Rachèl vòlè ti zidòl kay papa l' yo.
20 and Jacob deceives the heart of Laban the Aramean, because he has not declared to him that he is fleeing;
Se konsa Jakòb twonpe Laban, moun lavil Aram lan, li pati san l' pa di l' sa.
21 and he flees, he and all that he has, and rises, and passes over the River, and sets his face [toward] the Mount of Gilead.
Li pran tout sa li te genyen, li mete deyò, li ale, li travèse larivyè Lefrat, li pran chemen pou li al sou mòn Galarad.
22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob has fled,
Twa jou apre, Laban pran nouvèl Jakòb te pati.
23 and he takes his brothers with him, and pursues after him a journey of seven days, and overtakes him in the Mount of Gilead.
Msye pran moun pa li yo avè l', li pati dèyè Jakòb. Apre sèt jou, li jwenn li sou mòn Galarad.
24 And God comes to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and says to him, “Take heed to yourself lest you speak with Jacob from good to evil.”
Men, pandan lannwit, Bondye parèt devan Laban, moun lavil Aram lan, nan yon rèv, li di l': -Piga ou di Jakòb anyen ni an byen, ni an mal.
25 And Laban overtakes Jacob; and Jacob has fixed his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brothers have fixed [theirs] in the Mount of Gilead.
Se konsa, Laban jwenn Jakòb ki te moute tant li sou mòn lan. Laban te moute tant li tout sou mòn Galarad pou li menm ansanm ak moun pa l' yo.
26 And Laban says to Jacob, “What have you done that you deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?
Laban di Jakòb: -Kisa ou fè konsa? Ou twonpe m', ou pran pitit fi mwen yo, ou mennen yo ale tankou prizonye ou fè nan lagè.
27 Why have you hidden yourself to flee, and deceive me, and have not declared to me, and I send you away with joy and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,
Poukisa ou twonpe m', ou leve ou pati an kachèt san ou pa avèti m'? Si ou te di m' sa, nou ta fè fèt, nou ta chante, nou ta bat tanbou, nou ta jwe gita anvan nou voye ou ale.
28 and have not permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have acted foolishly in doing [so];
Ou pa menm kite m' bo pitit pitit mwen yo ak pitit fi m' yo. Ou aji tankou moun fou, monchè!
29 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father last night has spoken to me, saying, Take heed to yourself from speaking with Jacob from good to evil.
Mwen gen kont pouvwa anba men m' pou m' ta regle ou. Men yè swa, pandan lannwit lan Bondye papa ou la di m': Piga ou di Jakòb anyen ni an byen, ni an mal.
30 And now, you have certainly gone, because you have been very desirous for the house of your father; why have you stolen my gods?”
Mwen konnen ou pati paske se pa ti anvi ou pa te anvi tounen lakay papa ou. Men, sa ou te bezwen vòlè ti zidòl kay mwen yo fè?
31 And Jacob answers and says to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest you violently take away your daughters from me;
Jakòb reponn Laban, li di l': -Mwen te pè, paske mwen te kwè ou ta ka reprann pitit fi ou yo nan menm.
32 with whomsoever you find your gods—he must not live; before our brothers discern for yourself what [is] with me, and take to yourself”: and Jacob has not known that Rachel has stolen them.
Men, kanta pou ti zidòl kay ou yo, si ou jwenn yo nan men yon moun isit la, se pou moun sa a mouri. Men, mwen pran tout moun sa yo pou temwen, si ou jwenn yon bagay lakay mwen ki pou ou, pran l' pote l' ale. Jakòb pa t' konnen Rachèl te vòlè ti zidòl kay yo.
33 And Laban goes into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and has not found; and he goes out from the tent of Leah, and goes into the tent of Rachel.
Laban antre anba tant Jakòb la, li chache, li ale anba tant Leya a, apre sa anba tant de sèvant yo, li pa jwenn anyen. Li soti anba tant Leya a, li antre anba tant Rachèl. la.
34 And Rachel has taken the teraphim, and puts them in the furniture of the camel, and sits on them; and Laban feels all the tent, and has not found;
Rachèl menm te pran ti zidòl kay yo, li te mete yo anba aparèy chamo a, epi li chita sou yo. Laban menm chache tout anba tant lan, li pa jwenn anyen.
35 and she says to her father, “Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at your presence, for the way of women [is] on me”; and he searches, and has not found the teraphim.
Rachèl di papa l' konsa: -Si ou wè mwen pa ka leve kanpe devan ou, ou pa bezwen fache non. Se lalen mwen mwen genyen. Se konsa Laban fouye toupatou, li pa jwenn ti zidòl kay li yo.
36 And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he strives with Laban; and Jacob answers and says to Laban, “What [is] my transgression? What my sin, that you have burned after me?
Lè sa a, Jakòb move sou Laban. Li pete yon kabouyay ak li, li di l': -Ki krim mwen fè? Kisa m' fè ki mal pou w'ap pousib mwen konsa?
37 For you have felt all my vessels: what have you found of all the vessels of your house? Set here before my brothers, and your brothers, and they decide between us both.
Ou fin fouye tout zafè m' yo. Kisa ou jwenn ki pou ou? Mete l' la devan moun pa ou yo ak moun pa m' yo, pou yo ka di ki moun ki gen rezon!
38 These twenty years I [am] with you: your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and the rams of your flock I have not eaten;
Sa fè ventan depi m avè ou. Mouton ou yo ak kabrit ou yo pa janm manke fè pitit. Mwen pa janm manje yon ti bouk nan bèt ou yo.
39 the torn I have not brought to you—I repay it—from my hand you seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;
Lè bèt nan bwa touye yon mouton, mwen pa janm pote l' ba ou. Mwen te pran pèt la sou kont mwen. Ou te rann mwen reskonsab tout bèt yo vòlè, kit se lannwit, kit se lajounen.
40 I have been [thus]: drought has consumed me in the day, and frost by night, and my sleep wanders from my eyes.
Lajounen, chalè te fini avè m'. Lannwit, se te fredi, mwen pa t' kapab dòmi.
41 This [is] to me twenty years in your house: I have served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock; and you change my hire ten times;
Se konsa sa te ye pandan tout ventan mwen pase lakay ou yo. Mwen travay pandan katòzan pou de pitit fi ou yo. Apre sa, mwen fè sizan ankò ap travay pou bann bèt ou yo. Atousa, ou jwenn mwayen chanje pawòl dis fwa lè lè a rive pou ou peye m'.
42 unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now you had sent me away empty; God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and reproves last night.”
Si Bondye papa m' lan, Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Izarak respekte a, pa t' la avèk mwen, koulye a ou ta voye m' ale yon men devan yon men dèyè. Men Bondye wè tout traka mwen bay tèt mwen, li wè travay mwen fè, se konsa yè swa li rann jijman li.
43 And Laban answers and says to Jacob, “The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that you are seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters—what do I to these today, or to their sons whom they have born?
Laban reponn Jakòb: -Fi sa yo se pitit mwen yo ye. Timoun sa yo, se pa m' yo ye. Bann bèt sa yo se pou mwen yo ye. tout sa ou wè la a, se pou mwen yo ye. Bon, kisa m' ka fè koulye a pou pitit fi mwen yo ak pou pitit pitit mwen yo?
44 And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and you, and it has been for a witness between me and you.”
Vini non. Annou pase yon kontra, mwen menm avè ou. Ann kite yon mak ki va sèvi pou fè nou toujou chonje kontra a.
45 And Jacob takes a stone, and lifts it up [for] a standing pillar;
Jakòb pran yon gwo wòch, li plante l' nan tè a, li fè l' rete kanpe tankou yon bòn.
46 and Jacob says to his brothers, “Gather stones,” and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;
Epi, li di moun li yo: -Ranmase wòch. Mesye yo ranmase wòch, yo anpile yo fè yon gwo pil. Apre sa, yo chita bò pil wòch la, yo manje.
47 and Laban calls it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob has called it Galeed.
Laban rele pil wòch la Jega Saadouta nan lang pa l', men Jakòb te rele l' nan lang pa l' Galèd.
48 And Laban says, “This heap [is] witness between me and you today”; therefore has he called its name Galeed;
Laban di: -Pil wòch sa a va sèvi pou fè nou tout de toujou chonje kontra a. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Galèd.
49 Mizpah also, for he said, “YHWH watches between me and you, for we are hidden from one another;
Laban di ankò: -Se pou Bondye voye je sou nou tout de lè nou fin separe. Se konsa yo rele kote sa a Mispa.
50 if you afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters—there is no man with us—see, God [is] witness between me and you.”
Laban pale ankò, li di: -Si ou maltrete pitit fi mwen yo, si ou pran lòt fanm ankò sou yo, konnen ou p'ap annafè ak yon moun tankou nou tande. Atansyon, men se ak Bondye menm, ki temwen sa nou sot fè a, w'ap annafè.
51 And Laban says to Jacob, “Behold, this heap, and behold, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and you;
Laban di Jakòb ankò: -Men pil wòch mwen mete pou separe nou an. Men bòn ou plante a la.
52 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap to you, and that you do not pass over this heap and this standing pillar to me—for evil;
Ni pil wòch yo ni bòn lan ap sèvi yon mak. Mwen pa gen dwa depase l' pou m' vin atake ou, ni ou pa gen dwa depase l' pou ou vin atake m'.
53 the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, judges between us—the God of their father,” and Jacob swears by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Se pou Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Nakò a, Bondye papa yo a, mete rezon nan mitan nou. Lè sa a, Jakòb sèmante nan non Bondye Izarak, papa l' respekte a.
54 And Jacob sacrifices a sacrifice on the mountain, and calls to his brothers to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge on the mountain;
Apre sa, li touye yon bèt, li ofri l' bay Bondye sou mòn lan, epi li envite moun pa l' yo vin manje. Lè yo fin manje, yo pase nwit la sou mòn lan.
55 and Laban rises early in the morning, and kisses his sons and his daughters, and blesses them; and Laban goes on, and turns back to his place.
Nan denmen maten byen bonè, Laban leve, li bo pitit pitit li yo ak pitit fi li yo. Li beni yo. Apre sa, li pati, li tounen lakay li.
