Genesis 43
1 And the famine [is] severe in the land;
Grangou t'ap bat pi rèd nan peyi Kanaran an.
2 and it comes to pass, when they have finished eating the grain which they brought from Egypt, that their father says to them, “Return, buy for us a little food.”
Lè fanmi Jakòb yo te fin manje ble yo te pote soti nan peyi Lejip la, Jakòb di pitit li yo: -Tounen al chache manje pou nou ankò non.
3 And Judah speaks to him, saying, “The man protesting protested to us, saying, You do not see my face without your brother [being] with you;
Jida reponn li: -Nonm lan te byen avèti nou pou nou pa parèt devan l' si nou pa vin ak ti frè nou an.
4 if you are sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for you food,
Si ou vle kite ti frè nou an vin ak nou, nou v al achte manje pou ou.
5 and if you are not sending—we do not go down, for the man said to us, You do not see my face without your brother [being] with you.”
Si ou pa vle kite l' ale, n'ap rete, paske msye a te tout di nou: piga nou parèt devan l' ankò si nou pa vin ak ti frè nou an.
6 And Israel says, “Why did you do evil to me, by declaring to the man that you had yet a brother?”
Izrayèl di: -Sa nou te bezwen di l' nou te gen yon ti frè fè? Poukisa nou fè m' sa?
7 And they say, “The man asked diligently concerning us, and concerning our family, saying, Is your father yet alive? Have you a brother? And we declare to him according to the tenor of these things; do we certainly know that he will say, Bring down your brother?”
Yo reponn li: -Msye a t'ap poze nou keksyon sou nou ak sou fanmi nou. Li mande nou si papa nou la toujou, si nou gen lòt frè, se pou n' te reponn li. Kouman pou n' ta fè konnen li tapral mande nou pou nou mennen ti frè nou an ba li?
8 And Judah says to his father Israel, “Send the youth with me, and we arise, and go, and live, and do not die, both we, and you, and our infants.
Jida di Izrayèl, papa l', konsa: -Kite tibway la ale ak nou. Konsa n'a leve, n'a pati. Konsa ni ou menm, ni nou menm, ni timoun nou yo p'ap mouri grangou.
9 I am guarantor [for] him, from my hand you require him; if I have not brought him to you, and set him before you—then I have sinned against you all the days;
Se nan men m' li ye, se mwen menm ki pou rann ou kont pou li. Si m' pa mennen l' tounen ba ou, si m' pa tounen avè l' la devan ou, se mwen menm k'ap pote fòt la devan ou jouk mwen mouri.
10 for if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned these two times.”
Si nou pa t' pran tout reta sa a, koulye a nou ta gen tan ale nou tounen de fwa deja.
11 And their father Israel says to them, “If so, now, do this: take of the praised thing of the land in your vessels, and take down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds;
Lè sa a, Izrayèl, papa yo, di: -Bon. Si se konsa sa ye, men sa pou n' fè: n'ap pran pi bon danre ki gen nan peyi a, n'ap mete nan sak nou, n'ap pote fè nonm lan kado: gonm santi bon, siwo myèl, lansan, lami, pistach ak nwa.
12 and double money take in your hand, even the money which is brought back in the mouth of your bags, you take back in your hand, it may be it [is] an oversight.
Lèfini, n'a pran de fwa valè lajan nou bezwen, paske fòk nou renmèt lajan yo te mete nan bouch sak ble yo tou. Ou pa janm konnen, yo ka pa t' wè sa.
13 And take your brother, and rise, return to the man;
Pran frè nou an, tounen kote msye a.
14 and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so that he has sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved—I am bereaved.”
M'ap mande Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pou l' fè nonm lan aji byen ak nou, pou l' ka renmèt nou ni lòt frè nou an, ni Benjamen. Pou mwen menm, si se pou m' pèdi pitit mwen yo, mwen mèt pèdi yo.
15 And the men take this present, double money also they have taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down to Egypt, and stand before Joseph;
Se konsa mesye yo pran kado yo, de fwa valè lajan yo te bezwen ansanm ak Benjamen, yo leve, yo desann peyi Lejip kote yo parèt devan Jozèf.
16 and Joseph sees Benjamin with them and says to him who [is] over his house, “Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for the men eat with me at noon.”
Lè Jozèf wè Benjamen ak yo, li rele chèf domestik li a, li di l': -Mennen mesye sa yo lakay mwen. Touye yon bèt, kwit li, paske mesye sa yo ap manje avè m' midi a.
17 And the man does as Joseph has said, and the man brings in the men into the house of Joseph,
Chèf domestik la fè sa Jozèf te di l' fè a, li mennen mesye yo lakay li.
18 and the men are afraid because they have been brought into the house of Joseph, and they say, “For the matter of the money which was put back in our bags at the commencement are we brought in—to roll himself on us, and to throw himself on us, and to take us for servants—our donkeys also.”
Men, lè mesye yo wè yo t'ap mennen yo lakay Jozèf, yo te pè anpil. Yo t'ap di: -Se poutèt lajan nou te jwenn nan sak nou yo dènye fwa a kifè y'ap mennen nou bò isit la. Yo pral kenbe nou, yo pral bat nou, y'ap fè nou tounen esklav. Lèfini y'ap pran bourik nou yo.
19 And they come near to the man who [is] over the house of Joseph, and speak to him at the opening of the house,
Se konsa, antan yo rive nan papòt kay la, yo pwoche bò chèf domestik la,
20 and say, “O my lord, we really come down at the commencement to buy food;
yo di l': -Eskize nou wi, mèt. Nou te vin isit la yon fwa deja pou n' te achte manje.
21 and it comes to pass, when we have come to the lodging-place, and open our bags, that behold, each one’s money [is] in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring it back in our hand;
Lè n'ap tounen lakay nou, nou rive yon kote nou t'ap poze pou pase nwit, nou louvri sak nou yo, nou jwenn tout lajan an nan bouch sak yo, byen konte. Nou pote l' tounen wi.
22 and other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food; we have not known who put our money in our bags.”
Nou pote lòt lajan tout pou n' ka achte manje. Nou pa konnen ki moun ki te mete lajan an nan sak nou yo ankò.
23 And he says, “Peace to you, do not fear: your God and the God of your father has given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came to me”; and he brings out Simeon to them.
Domestik anchèf la di yo: -Pa okipe bagay konsa. Nou pa bezwen pè. Se Bondye nou an, Bondye papa nou an, ki mete richès sa a pou nou nan sak yo. Mwen te resevwa premye lajan an. Lèfini, li mennen Simeyon vin jwenn yo.
24 And the man brings in the men into Joseph’s house, and gives water, and they wash their feet; and he gives provender for their donkeys,
Chèf domestik la mennen mesye yo lakay Jozèf. Li ba yo dlo pou yo lave pye yo, li bay bourik yo manje.
25 and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they eat bread.
Mesye yo menm pare kado yo pou lè Jozèf va vin jwenn yo midi, paske yo te vin konnen yo tapral manje avè l'.
26 And Joseph comes into the house, and they bring to him the present which [is] in their hand, into the house, and bow themselves to him, to the earth;
Lè Jozèf antre lakay li, yo pote kado yo ba li, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li.
27 and he asks of them of peace and says, “Is your father well? The aged man of whom you have spoken, is he yet alive?”
Jozèf mande yo kouman yo ye. Apre sa, li di yo: -Granmoun nou te pale m' lan, papa nou an, ban m' nouvèl li non? Li la toujou? Li byen?
28 And they say, “Your servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive”; and they bow, and pay respect.
Yo reponn li: -Granmoun lan la wi, l'ap debat. Li byen mèsi. Yo tonbe ajenou, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li.
29 And he lifts up his eyes and sees his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and says, “Is this your young brother, of whom you have spoken to me?” And he says, “God favor you, my son.”
Lè Jozèf fè sa li wè Benjamen, frè menm manman menm papa avè l' la, li di: -Eske se ti frè nou an sa, ti frè nou t'ap pale m' lan? Bondye beni ou, pitit mwen.
30 And Joseph hurries, for his bowels have been moved for his brother, and he seeks to weep, and enters the inner chamber, and weeps there;
Lè sa a, Jozèf kouri soti byen vit, paske kè l' t'ap fè l' mal pou frè l' yo. Dlo vin nan je l', li antre nan chanm li, li kriye kont li.
31 and he washes his face, and goes out, and refrains himself, and says, “Place bread.”
Apre sa, li lave figi l', li soti, li kenbe pou li pa kriye ankò, epi li bay lòd sèvi manje a.
32 And they place for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who are eating with him by themselves: for the Egyptians are unable to eat bread with the Hebrews, for it [is] an abomination to the Egyptians.
Yo te sèvi yon tab apa pou Jozèf, yon tab apa pou frè l' yo ak yon lòt tab apa pou moun peyi Lejip ki t'ap manje ansanm ak yo tou, paske pou moun peyi Lejip yo, se ta yon wont pou yo chita manje sou menm tab ak ebre yo.
33 And they sit before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the men wonder one at another;
Frè Jozèf yo te chita anfas li. Yo te mete yo chita dapre laj yo, depi pi gran an jouk pi piti. Lè yo wè sa, yo te sezi, yonn gade lòt.
34 and he lifts up gifts from before him to them, and the gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of them; and they drink, indeed, they drink abundantly with him.
Jozèf te fè yo pran manje sou tab li pote ba yo. Benjamen te resevwa senk fwa plis pase lòt yo. Yo manje, yo bwè, yo fete ansanm avè l'.
