Genesis 31
1 Then heard he the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that belonged to our father; Yea out of what belonged to our father, hath he made all this wealth.
Alò, Jacob te tande pawòl fis Laban yo ki te vin di: “Jacob te retire tout sa ki te pou papa nou, e avèk sa ki te pou papa nou, li te fè tout richès li.”
2 And Jacob looked upon the face of Laban, —and lo! it was not with him as afore-time.
Jacob te wè konpòtman Laban, e gade byen, li pa t emab anvè li jan li te ye avan an.
3 Then said Yahweh unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, —that I may be with thee.
Epi SENYÈ a te di a Jacob: “Retounen nan peyi a zansèt ou yo, a moun ou yo, e mwen va avèk ou.”
4 So Jacob sent, and called for Rachel and for Leah, to the field unto his flock;
Alò Jacob te voye rele Rachel avèk Léa vè bann mouton li nan chan an.
5 and said to them, Beholding, am I the face of your father, that it is not towards me as aforetime, —nevertheless, the God of my father, hath been with me;
Konsa, li te di yo: “Mwen wè ke konpòtman papa nou anvè mwen menm pa emab jan li te ye lontan an, men Bondye a papa m nan te avèk mwen.
6 and, ye, know that with all my vigour, have I served your father.
Nou konnen ke mwen te sèvi papa nou avèk tout fòs mwen.
7 But, your father, hath deceived me, and hath changed my wages ten times, —yet God hath not suffered him to deal harmfully with me.
Malgre sa, papa nou te twonpe mwen, e li te chanje salè mwen dis fwa, men Bondye pa t kite li fè m donmaj.
8 If thus he saith, The speckled, shall be thy wages, then do all the flock bring forth speckled, —But if thus he saith, The ring-straked, shall be thy wages, then do all the flock bring forth ring-straked.
Si li te pale konsa: ‘Takte yo se salè ou’, alò, tout bann mouton yo te bay pitit takte. Epi si li te pale konsa ke trase yo te salè ou, alò tout bann mouton yo te bay pitit trase.
9 So hath God stripped away the herds of your father, and given them to me.
Konsa Bondye te retire bèt yo nan men papa ou, e Li te ban mwen yo.
10 And it came to pass in the season when the flock were in heat, then lifted I mine eyes and beheld in a dream, —and lo! the he-goats that were leaping upon the flock, were ring-straked speckled and dappled.
“Epi li te rive ke lè bann mouton yo a t ap kwaze, ke mwen te leve zye mwen, mwen te wè nan yon rèv, e gade byen, mal kabrit ki t ap kwaze yo te trase, takte, e mele.
11 And the messenger of God said unto me in a dream, Jacob! and I said, Behold me!
“Alò, zanj Bondye a te di mwen nan rèv la: ‘Jacob,’ epi mwen te di: ‘Men mwen.’
12 Then he said Lift, I pray thee, thine eyes and behold All, the he-goats that are leaping upon the flock are ring-straked, speckled, and dappled, —for I have seen all that Laban, has been doing to thee.
“Li te di: ‘Koulye a leve zye ou, pou wè ke tout mal kabrit ki t ap kwaze yo te trase, takte, e mele, paske Mwen te wè tout sa ke Laban te fè ou yo.
13 I, am the GOD of Beth-el, where thou didst anoint a pillar, where thou didst vow to me a vow, —Now, rise, go forth out of this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
Mwen menm se Bondye a Béthel la, kote ou te vide lwil sou yon pilye, kote ou te fè sèman a Mwen menm nan. Konsa, leve, kite tè sa a, e retounen nan peyi nesans ou a.’”
14 Then responded Rachel and Leah, and said to him, —Have we any longer a portion or an inheritance in the house of our father?
Rachel avèk Léa te di li: “Èske nou gen yon pati nan eritaj lakay papa nou an ki rete?
15 Are we not accounted, aliens, to him seeing that having sold us, he hath then gone on devouring, our silver?
Èske li pa rekonèt nou kòm etranje? Paske li gen tan vann nou. Anplis, li te manje tout byen nou ranmase.
16 Surely all the riches which God hath stripped off from our father, unto us, it belongeth, and unto our sons, —Now, therefore, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
Vrèman, tout byen ke Bondye te rachte nan men papa nou yo, se pou nou avèk pitit nou ke yo ye. Alò, fè sa ke Bondye te di ou fè a.”
17 So Jacob arose, —and mounted his sons and his wives on the camels;
Alò, Jacob te leve. Li te mete pitit li yo avèk madanm li yo sou chamo yo.
18 and drave away all his herds and all his goods which he had gathered, the gains he had gained, which he had gathered in Padan-aram; that he might go in unto Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.
Konsa, li te voye pouse tout bèt yo avèk tout byen ke li te rasanble yo, bèt ke li te vin gen nan Paddan-Aram yo, pou ale nan peyi Canaan vè papa li, Isaac.
19 Now, Laban, had gone, to shear his sheep, —so Rachel stole the household gods that belonged to her father,
Lè Laban te ale pou taye plim mouton li yo, Rachel te vòlè zidòl lakay ki te pou papa li yo.
20 Thus Jacob stole away unawares to Laban, the Syrian, —in that he had not told him that he was about to flee.
Konsa, Jacob te twonpe Laban, Arameyen an. Li pa t di li ke li t ap sove ale.
21 So he fled, he—and all that he had, and he arose, and passed over the River, —and set his face towards the mountain of Gilead.
Li te sove ale avèk tout sa ke li te genyen, epi li te leve pou travèse lariviyè Euphrate la, ak figi li byen fikse vè peyi mòn Galaad yo.
22 And it was told Laban, on the third day, —that Jacob had fled.
Lè yo te di Laban nan twazyèm jou ke Jacob te sove ale a,
23 So he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him a journey of seven days—and overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
li te pran moun fanmi li yo, pou l te kouri dèyè li pandan sèt jou. Konsa, li te vin rive devan li nan ti kolin nan peyi Galaad yo.
24 And God went in unto Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, —and said to him Take heed to thyself that thou speak not with Jacob either good or bad.
Bondye te parèt a Laban, Arameyen an, nan yon rèv nan nwit lan. Li te di li: “Fè atansyon pou ou pa pale a Jacob ni byen, ni mal.”
25 So then Laban came up with Jacob, —Jacob, having pitched his tent in the mountain, Laban, also, with his brethren pitched in the mountain of Gilead.
Laban te vin rive devan Jacob. Alò Jacob te monte tant li nan peyi kolin yo, e Laban avèk moun pa li yo te rete nan peyi kolin Galaad yo.
26 Then said Laban to Jacob, What hadst thou done, that thou shouldst steal away unawares to me, —and shouldst carry off my daughters, as captives of the sword?
Alò, Laban te di a Jacob: “Kisa ou te fè m la a lè ou te twonpe m e fè eskalad avèk fi mwen yo tankou prizonyè ki sou nepe?
27 Wherefore didst thou secretly flee, and rob me, —and didst not tell me, that I might send thee away with rejoicing and with songs, with timbrel and with lyre;
Poukisa ou te sove ale an sekrè? Ou fè m desepsyon sa a, e ou pa di m sa pou m ta kapab voye ou ale avèk jwa, ak chante, tanbouren ak ap?
28 and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now, hast thou done, foolishly.
Ou pa t menm kite m bo fis mwen yo, ak fi mwen yo. Alò, ou gen tan fè betiz.
29 It is in the power of my hand, to deal with thee for harm, —but the God of your father, last night, spake unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not with Jacob, either good or bad.
Li nan pouvwa mwen pou m fè nou mal, men Bondye a papa ou a te pale avèk mwen yèswa. Li te di: ‘Pinga ou pale ni byen, ni mal a Jacob’.
30 But, now, though thou, didst even take thy journey, because thou, didst sorely long, for the house of thy father, wherefore didst thou steal away my gods?
Alò, vrèman ou te sòti paske ou te anvi wè lakay papa ou, men poukisa ou te vòlè dye mwen yo?”
31 And Jacob answered and said unto Laban, —Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take by force thy daughters from me!
Jacob te reponn Laban: “Akoz ke m te pè, paske mwen te panse ke ou ta rachte fi ou yo nan men mwen pa lafòs.
32 He with whom thou find thy gods, shall not live! Before our brethren, note thou for thyself what is with me and take what is thine. Neither did Jacob know that, Rachel, had stolen them.
Sila ki twouve avèk dye ou yo p ap viv. Nan prezans tout fanmi nou yo, montre m sa ki pou ou nan byen mwen yo, e pran li pou ou menm.” Paske Jacob pa t konnen ke Rachel te gen tan vòlè yo.
33 Then entered Laban into the tent of Jacob and into the tent of Leah and into the tent of the two handmaids, and found nothing, —then went he forth out of the tent of Leah, and entered into the tent of Rachel.
Alò, Laban te antre nan tant Jacob la, nan tant Léa a, ak nan tant sèvant yo, men li pa t twouve yo.
34 Now Rachel, had taken the household gods and put them in the basket-saddle of the camel, and taken her seat upon them. And Laban felt about throughout all the tent, and found them not.
Alò, Rachel te pran zidòl lakay yo. Li te mete yo nan sèl chamo a, e li te chita sou yo. Konsa, Laban te manyen toupatou nan tant lan, men li pa t twouve yo.
35 And she said unto her father, Let it not be vexing in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up at thy presence, for, the way of women, is upon me. So he made search, but found not the household gods,
Li te di a papa li: “Pa kite mèt mwen an fache avè m, pwiske mwen p ap ka leve devan ou, paske se règ mwen ki sou mwen.” Alò, li te chache, men li pa t jwenn zidòl kay yo.
36 And it was vexing to Jacob and he contended with Laban, —and Jacob responded and said to Laban, What was my trespass, what my sin, that thou shouldst have come burning after me?
Alò, Jacob te vin fache. Li te konfwonte Laban. Jacob te di l: “Ki tò mwen te fè ou? Ki peche mwen te fè konsa pou ou vin pouswiv mwen tou cho konsa?
37 Now that thou hast felt about among all my goods, what hast thou found of the goods of thine own house? Set it out here, right before my brethren and thy brethren, —that they may give sentence betwixt us two.
Malgre ou gen tan manyen tout afè m, kisa ou te twouve ladan yo ki pou lakay ou? Mete li isit la devan moun pa m avèk moun pa ou yo, pou yo ka pran yon desizyon antre nou de a.
38 This twenty years’ time, have, I, been with thee—Thy ewes and thy she-goats, have not cast their young, —And the rams of thy flock, have I not eaten,
“Pandan ventan mwen te la avè w. Mouton ou yo avèk kabrit ou yo pa janm pèdi pitit, ni mwen pa t manje belye nan bann mouton ou yo.
39 The torn, have I not brought in unto thee—I bare the loss, At my hand, didst thou require it, —Stolen by day, or stolen by night.
Sa ki te chire pa bèt sovaj, èske m pa te pote yo bay ou? Mwen te fè pèt la pou kont mwen. Se konsa ou te egzije sa ki nan men m, sof ke sa ki vòlè nan lajounen, sof ke sa ki vòlè nan lannwit.
40 Thus have I been—By day, drought hath consumed me, And, frost, by, night, —So that my sleep fled away from mine eyes.
Konsa mwen te ye: Nan lajounen, solèy la te manje m, fredi nan lannwit, e dòmi te vòlè sove ale nan zye mwen.
41 This, hath been my lot twenty years in thy house, —I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, And six years for thy sheep—And thou didst change my wages ten times: —
Pandan ven ane sa yo, mwen te lakay ou. Mwen te sèvi ou katòz ane pou de fi ou yo, sis ane pou bann mouton ou yo, e ou te fè chanjman salè mwen dis fwa.
42 But that the God of my father—The God of Abraham, and the Dread of Isaac—Proved to be mine, Surely even now, empty, hadst thou let me go? My humiliation and the wearying toil of my hands, God had seen, And therefore gave sentence last night!
Si Bondye a papa m nan, Bondye a Abraham nan pa t pou mwen, vrèman koulye a ou t ap kab voye m ale men vid. Bondye te wè afliksyon mwen, ak travay di ke men m te gen tan fè, epi Li te rann jijman an yèswa.”
43 Then responded Laban and said unto Jacob—the daughters, are my daughters, And the sons, are my sons, And the sheep are my sheep, And, all that, thou, beholdest, To me doth it belong! But to my daughters, what can I do to these this day, Or to their sons whom they have borne?
Laban te reponn a Jacob: “Fi yo se fi m, pitit yo se pitit mwen, bann mouton yo se bann mouton mwen. Tout sa ou wè la yo se pa m. Men kisa m ka fè nan jou sa pou sila yo, a fi mwen yo, oswa a pitit pa yo ke yo te fè?
44 Now, therefore, come on! Let us solemnise a covenant, I and thou, —So shall it be a witness betwixt me and thee.
Alò, kounye a vin non, annou fè yon akò, ou menm avèk mwen menm. Annou fè li kòm yon temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
45 So Jacob took a stone, —and set it up as a pillar.
Konsa, Jacob te pran yon gwo wòch. Li te fè l kanpe tankou yon pilye.
46 Then said Jacob to his brethren—Gather stones. And they took stones and made a heap, —and they did eat there, by the heap.
Jacob te di a tout relasyon fanmi pa li a: “Sanble wòch”! Epi yo te pran wòch yo. Yo te fè yon gwo pil, e yo te manje la akote pil la.
47 And Laban called it, Jegar-sahadutha, —but, Jacob, called it, Galeed.
Alò Laban te rele la Jegar-Sahadutha, men Jacob te rele l Galed.
48 Then said Laban: This heap, be witness betwixt me, and thee, to-day. For this cause, is the name thereof called Galeed;
Laban te di: “Gwo pil wòch sa se yon temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen menm jodi a.” Konsa, li te rele l Galed,
49 also, The Watch Tower, as to which it is said, Yahweh watch betwixt me and thee, when we are parted one from another.
epi osi Mitspa, paske li te di: “Ke Bondye kapab gade antre ou menm avèk mwen lè nou vin absan de youn lòt.
50 If thou oppress my daughters, or if thou take wives besides my daughters, —there may be no man with us—see! God, be witness betwixt me, and thee!
Si ou maltrete fi mwen yo, oswa si ou pran madanm anplis ke fi mwen yo, malgre pèsòn pa avèk nou, ou wè, Bondye se temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
51 And Laban said to Jacob—Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have set betwixt me, and thee:
Laban te di a Jacob: “Gade byen gwo pil sa a, e veye byen gwo pilye ke m etabli antre ou menm avèk mwen an.
52 A witness, be this heap, and, a witness, the pillar, —That, I, am not to pass, unto thee, over this heap, And, thou, art not to pass, unto me, over this heap and this pillar for harm.
Gwo pil sa a se yon temwen. Pilye a se yon temwen ke mwen p ap pase vè gwo pil sa a pou fè ou mal, e ou p ap pase gwo pil sa a vè mwen pou fè m mal.
53 The Gods of Abraham and the Gods of Nahor judge betwixt us—the Gods of their fathers. And Jacob sware by the Dread of his father Isaac:
Bondye Abraham nan ak Bondye Nachor a, Bondye a papa pa yo a, vin jij antre nou menm.” Konsa Jacob te sèmante pa krent a papa l, Isaac.
54 and Jacob offered sacrifice in the mountain, and called on his brethren to eat bread. So they did eat bread, and tarried the night in the mountain.
Alò, Jacob te ofri yon sakrifis sou mòn nan. Li te rele tout gwo fanmi li yo pou vin manje pen. Yo te manje pen sa a, e yo te pase nwit lan sou mòn nan.
55 And Laban rose up early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban went his way and returned to his place.
Granmmaten, Laban te leve. Li te bo fis li yo ak fi li yo, e li te beni yo. Alò, Laban te retounen nan plas li.
