Genesis 35
1 And God says to Jacob, “Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to you in your fleeing from the face of your brother Esau.”
Bondye di Jakòb: -Leve non, moute al Betèl, epi rete la. Bati yon lotèl la pou Bondye ki te parèt devan ou lan, lè ou t'ap kouri pou Ezaou, frè ou la.
2 And Jacob says to his household, and to all who [are] with him, “Turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;
Se konsa Jakòb rele fanmi l' yo ansanm ak tout lòt moun ki avè l' yo. li di yo: -Pran tout lòt bondye etranje n'ap sèvi yo, voye yo jete. Mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Mete rad nèt sou nou.
3 and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my tribulation, and is with me in the way that I have gone.”
Nou pral kite kote nou ye a, nou pral Betèl, kote mwen pral bati yon lotèl pou Bondye ki te reponn lapriyè m' lè m' te anba tray la, pou Bondye ki te la avèk mwen kote m' pase nan vwayaj mwen te fè a.
4 And they give to Jacob all the gods of the stranger that [are] in their hand, and the rings that [are] in their ears, and Jacob hides them under the oak which [is] by Shechem;
Se konsa yo renmèt Jakòb tout bondye etranje yo te gen nan men yo ansanm ak tout zanno yo te gen nan zòrèy yo. Jakòb antere tout sa anba pye bwadchenn ki te toupre lavil Sichèm lan.
5 and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which [are] around them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.
Apre sa, yo pati. tout moun ki te rete nan zòn lan te vin pè Bondye anpil. Yo yonn pa leve al rapouswiv pitit Jakòb yo.
6 And Jacob comes to Luz which [is] in the land of Canaan (it [is] Bethel), he and all the people who [are] with him,
Jakòb rive ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo lavil Louz, nan peyi Kanaran. Se lavil sa a yo rele Betèl tou.
7 and he builds there an altar, and proclaims at the place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed to him, in his fleeing from the face of his brother.
Li bati yon lotèl la, li rele kote a Betèl, paske se la Bondye te parèt devan li lè li t'ap kouri pou frè l' la.
8 And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, dies, and she is buried at the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calls its name “Oak of Weeping.”
Lè sa a, Debora, bòn Rebeka a, mouri. Yo antere l' pi ba Betèl, anba pye bwadchenn lan. Se konsa yo rele pye bwadchenn lan: chenn dlo nan je a.
9 And God appears to Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesses him;
Lè Jakòb te tounen soti Mezopotami, Bondye parèt ankò devan li, li beni li.
10 and God says to him, “Your name [is] Jacob: your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel is your name”; and He calls his name Israel.
Bondye di l' konsa: -Yo rele ou Jakòb pa sa? Men, yo p'ap rele ou Jakòb ankò, y'a rele ou Izrayèl. Depi lè sa a, se Izrayèl yo rele l' vre.
11 And God says to him, “I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from you, and kings from your loins go out;
Bondye di l' ankò: -Se mwen menm Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. W'ap gen anpil pitit ak pitit pitit. Gen ladan yo k'ap wa. W'ap si tèlman gen anpil pitit pitit, y'a tounen yon kantite nasyon.
12 and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac—to you I give it, indeed to your seed after you I give the land.”
Peyi mwen te bay Abraram ak Izarak la, m'ap ba ou li tou. Apre sa, m'ap bay pitit pitit ou yo li.
13 And God goes up from him, in the place where He has spoken with him.
Apre sa, Bondye kite l' kote li t'ap pale ak li a, li moute nan syèl.
14 And Jacob sets up a standing pillar in the place where He has spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he pours on it an oblation, and he pours on it oil;
Jakòb pran yon gwo wòch, li plante l' pou l' make kote Bondye te pale avèk li a. Li pran diven, li wouze wòch la, apre sa li vide lwil sou li.
15 and Jacob calls the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.
Li rele kote Bondye te pale avè l' la Betèl.
16 And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a distance of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel bears, and is sharply pained in her bearing;
Apre sa, yo pati yo kite Betèl. Yo pa t' twò lwen rive lavil Efrata lè lè a te rive pou Rachèl akouche. Li t'ap soufri anpil.
17 and it comes to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife says to her, “Do not fear, for this also [is] a son for you.”
Lè doulè a te pi rèd, fanmchay la di l': -Ou pa bezwen pè. Ou fè yon pitit gason ankò.
18 And it comes to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calls his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;
Rachèl tapral mouri, li t'ap rann dènye souf li lè li rele pitit la Bennoni. Men papa a rele l' Benjamen.
19 and Rachel dies, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Beth-Lehem,
Rachèl mouri, yo antere l' sou wout lavil Efrata. Se lavil sa a yo rele Betleyèm lan tou.
20 and Jacob sets up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
Jakòb make tonm lan ak yon gwo wòch: yo rele l' Moniman tonm Rachèl la. Wòch la la jouk jòdi a.
21 And Israel journeys, and stretches out his tent beyond the Tower of Edar;
Apre sa, Izrayèl pati, li al moute tant li lòt bò Migdaledè.
22 and it comes to pass in Israel’s dwelling in that land, that Reuben goes, and lies with his father’s concubine Bilhah; and Israel hears.
Antan Jakòb t'ap viv nan peyi sa a, Woubenn al kouche ak Bila, yonn nan fanm papa l' yo. Izrayèl vin konn sa, li te fache anpil. Jakòb te gen douz pitit gason.
23 And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob’s firstborn Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
Men non pitit Leya te fè pou li yo: Woubenn, premye pitit gason l' lan, Simeyon, Levi, Jida, Isaka ak Zabilon.
24 Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Men non pitit Rachèl te fè pou li yo: Jozèf ak Benjamen.
25 And sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant: Dan and Naphtali.
Men non pitit Bila, sèvant Rachèl la, te fè pou li yo: Dann ak Nèftali.
26 And sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant: Gad and Asher. These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.
Men non pitit Zilpa, sèvant Leya a, te fè pou li yo: Gad ak Asè. Se tout pitit gason sa yo Jakòb te genyen antan li te nan peyi Mezopotami.
27 And Jacob comes to his father Isaac, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.
Jakòb al wè papa l' Izarak, nan Manmre (yo rele kote sa a Kija aba tou, ou ankò Ebwon). Se la Abraram ak Izarak te pase tout lavi yo.
28 And the days of Isaac are one hundred and eighty years,
Izarak te gen sankatreven lanne sou tèt li
29 and Isaac expires, and dies, and is gathered to his people, aged and satisfied with days; and his sons Esau and Jacob bury him.
lè li mouri. Li te fin granmoun, li te wè kont jou li lè l' al jwenn moun li yo ki te mouri deja. Ezaou ak Jakòb, pitit gason l' yo, antere li.
