Genesis 33
1 Jacob [Supplanter] lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau [Hairy] was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah [Weary], Rachel [Ewe sheep], and the two servants.
Jakòb leve je l' gade, li wè Ezaou ki t'ap mache vin jwenn li avèk katsan moun dèyè li. Li pran timoun yo, li separe yo, li bay Leya pa l' yo, li bay Rachèl pa l' yo, li bay de sèvant yo pa yo.
2 He put the servants and their children in front, Leah [Weary] and her children after, and Rachel [Ewe sheep] and Joseph [May he add] at the rear.
Li mete de sèvant yo devan nèt ak pitit yo, Leya ak pitit li yo nan mitan, Rachèl ak Jozèf dèyè nèt.
3 He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Li menm, li pran mache devan yo tout. Li bese tèt li jouk atè pandan sèt fwa, jouk li rive toupre Ezaou, frè li a.
4 Esau [Hairy] ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
Ezaou menm kouri al kontre l', li pase bra l' nan kou l', li bat do l', li bo li. Epi yo tout de yo pran kriye.
5 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
Lè Ezaou voye je l' gade, li wè medam yo ak timoun yo. Li di: -Ki moun sa yo ki avè ou la a? Jakòb reponn li: -tout se pitit Seyè a bay nèg pa ou la.
6 Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
Lè sa a, sèvant yo pwoche ak timoun yo, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan Ezaou.
7 Leah [Weary] also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph [May he add] came near with Rachel [Ewe sheep], and they bowed themselves.
Apre sa, Leya pwoche ak timoun pa l' yo, yo bese tèt yo tout devan li. Andènye nèt, Jozèf ak Rachèl pwoche, yo bese tèt yo tout devan li.
8 Esau [Hairy] said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob [Supplanter] said, “To find chen ·grace· in the sight of my lord.”
Ezaou mande l': -Moun mwen kontre pi devan an, poukisa ou te voye yo? Jakòb reponn li: -Se pou m' te ka fè kè ou kontan.
9 Esau [Hairy] said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”
Ezaou di l': -Frè mwen, mwen gen tout sa m' bezwen. Ou mèt kenbe tou sa ou genyen pou ou.
10 Jacob [Supplanter] said, “Please, now, if I have now found chen ·grace· in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
Jakòb reponn li: -Non. Si ou kontan wè m' tout bon, tanpri, asepte kado m'ap ba ou yo. Paske, lè mwen kontre ou, se tankou si m' te wè figi Bondye. Gade jan ou resevwa m' byen.
11 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.
Tanpri, asepte kado m'ap ba ou yo, paske Bondye te beni m' anpil. Mwen pa manke anyen. Jakòb fòse Ezaou sitèlman, bout pou bout, Ezaou asepte.
12 Esau [Hairy] said, “Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.”
Li di: -Bon. Ann pati. Ann ale. M'ap pran devan ou.
13 Jacob [Supplanter] said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
Men Jakòb reponn li: -Mèt mwen, ou konnen jan timoun yo fèb. Epi, fòk mwen pa bliye fenmèl mouton ak manman bèf yo ki nouris. Si m' fè yo mache twòp yon sèl jou, se kont pou yo tout mouri.
14 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”
Tanpri, mèt mwen, ou mèt pran devan nèg pa ou la, mwen menm m'ap vin dèyè ti pa ti pa, jan bèt yo ak timoun yo ka mache, jouk m'a rive lakay ou nan peyi Seyi.
15 Esau [Hairy] said, “Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find chen ·grace· in the sight of my lord.”
Ezaou di l': -Bon. m'a kite kèk moun nan moun pa m' yo avè ou? Jakòb reponn: -Se pa nesesè. Yon sèl bagay mwen mande, se pou mèt mwen bliye tout bagay.
16 So Esau [Hairy] teshuvah ·completely returned· that day on his way to Seir.
Menm jou a, Ezaou pati tounen nan peyi Seyi.
17 Jacob [Supplanter] traveled to Sukkot, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Sukkot [Booths].
Jakòb menm pati pou Soukòt. Lè li rive la, li bati yon kay pou li ak yon pak pou bèt li yo. Se sak fè yo rele kote sa a Soukòt.
18 Jacob [Supplanter] came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan [Humbled], when he came from Paddan Aram [Elevated]; and encamped before the city.
Lè Jakòb tounen soti Mezopotami, li rive anbyen lavil Sichèm, nan peyi Kanaran. Li moute tant li sou moso tè ki anfas lavil la.
19 He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
Li achte moso tè kote li te moute tant li a pou san (100) pyès lajan nan men pitit Amò yo. Se Amò sa a ki te papa Sichèm.
20 He erected an altar there, and called it El-Elohei-Isra'el [God the God of God prevails].
Jakòb bati yon lotèl la tou. Li rele l': Bondye se Bondye Izrayèl la.
