Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Alò, pandan Jacob te fin pran wout li, zanj Bondye yo te rankontre li.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Jacob te di lè li te wè yo: “Sa se lame Bondye a.” Konsa, li te nonmen plas sa a Mahanaïm.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Alò, Jacob te voye mesaje yo devan li kote frè li Ésaü nan peyi Séir a nan teritwa Édom an.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there till now:
Li te bay mesaje yo lòd, e li te di: “Konsa ou va pale a mèt mwen an, Ésaü: ‘Men sa ke sèvitè ou, Jacob di ou: Mwen te vin rete avèk Laban, e mwen te demere la jis rive koulye a.
5 And I have oxen, and donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
Mwen gen bèf avèk bourik, avèk bann mouton, sèvitè avèk sèvant. M ap voye pou di mèt mwen sa, pou m kapab vin jwenn favè nan zye w.’”
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
Mesaje yo te retounen vè Jacob. Yo te di li: “Nou te rankontre frè ou Ésaü. Konsa, li ap vin kote ou avèk kat-san òm.”
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and herds, and camels, into two bands;
Epi Jacob te vin pè anpil, e byen twouble. Li te divize moun ki te avè l yo, bann mouton, twoupo bèf ak chamo pou fè de konpanyen.
8 And said, If Esau shall come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
Konsa, li te di: “Si Ésaü ta vin atake youn nan konpanyen yo, alò, konpanyen ki rete a va chape.”
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who saidst to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
Jacob te di: “O Bondye a papa m nan Abraham e Bondye a papa m nan Isaac, O SENYÈ ki te di mwen an: ‘Retounen nan peyi ou, e a moun fanmi ou yo, e mwen va fè ou vin pwospere,’
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown to thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
mwen pa merite tout lanmou, mizerikòd ak fidelite ke ou te montre sèvitè ou a; paske se sèl avèk baton mwen ke m te travèse rivyè Jourdain an, men koulye a nou vin de konpanyen.
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
Delivre mwen, souple anba men frè m nan, anba men Ésaü; paske mwen pè li, pou li pa vin atake mwen avèk manman yo, ak timoun yo.
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Paske ou te di: ‘Anverite, Mwen va fè nou vin pwospere, e fè desandan nou yo vin tankou sab lanmè a, k ap twò gran pou konte.’”
13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
Epi li te pase nwit lan la. Alò, li te chwazi nan sa li te gen avè l yo kòm yon kado pou frè li, Ésaü:
14 Two hundred female goats, and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
De-san kabrit femèl, ven kabrit mal, de-san femèl mouton, ak ven mal,
15 Thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys, and ten foals.
trant chamo ki t ap bay lèt a pitit pa yo, karant bèf avèk dis towo, ven bourik femèl, ak dis ti bourik.
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Li te livre yo nan men a sèvitè li yo. Chak ekip te mache pou kont li, e li te di a sèvitè li yo: “Pase devan m, e mete yon espas antre de bann yo.”
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and where goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
Li te kòmande sila ki te devan an e li te di li: “Lè frè m Ésaü vin rankontre ou, e mande ou: ‘Pou kilès ou ye, kibò w prale, e pou kilès bèt sa yo ki devan ou yo ye?’
18 Then thou shalt say, They are thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
Alò, ou va di: ‘Se pou sèvitè ou, Jacob. Se yon kado ke li voye bay mèt mwen, Ésaü. Men gade byen, li la dèyè nou.’”
19 And so he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner shall ye speak to Esau, when ye find him.
Li te kòmande osi a dezyèm nan, a twazyèm nan, ak tout sa ki te swiv ekip yo, e li te di: “Se konsa nou va pale avèk Ésaü lè nou rankontre li.
20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept of me.
Ou va di: ‘Gade, men sèvitè ou Jacob dèyè nou an tou.’ Paske li te di: ‘Mwen va satisfè li avèk kado ki ale devan m yo. E apre, mwen va wè figi li. Petèt li kapab aksepte mwen.’”
21 So the present went over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company.
Epi kado a te pase devan li, e li menm te pase nwit lan menm kote li te fè kan an.
22 And he arose that night, and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
Alò, li te leve pandan menm nwit lan, e li te pran de madanm li yo avèk de sèvant li yo, onz pitit li yo, e li te travèse lariviyè a bò kote Jabbok la.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that which he had.
Li te pran yo, e li te voye yo travèse dlo a. Konsa, li te voye travèse ak tout sa li te genyen.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Konsa, Jacob te rete tout sèl, e yon nonm te vin lite avèk li jis rive granmmaten.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
Lè li te wè ke li pa t genyen l, li te touche gwo jwenti janm li (anwo kote l tache nan kò a), epi li te vin dejwente pandan li t ap lite avè l.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Epi nonm nan te di: “Lage m, paske jou a pwòch.” Men Jacob te di: “Mwen p ap lage ou amwenske ke ou beni m.”
27 And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Alò, li te di li: “Kòman yo rele ou?” Li te reponn: “Jacob.”
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Li te di: “Yo p ap rele ou Jacob ankò, men Israël; paske ou te lite avèk Bondye, e avèk lòm, epi ou te reyisi.”
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, why is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Alò Jacob te mande li: “Souple, di m non ou.” Li te reponn: “Poukisa ou mande m non mwen?” Epi li te beni li la.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Konsa, Jacob te nonmen kote sa Peniel, paske li te di: “Mwen te wè Bondye fasafas, malgre sa, vi mwen te prezève.”
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he limped upon his thigh.
Alò, solèy la te leve sou li nan menm moman li t ap travèse Peniel la, e li te bwate akoz gwo janm nan.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.
Pou sa, jis jounen jodi a, fis Israël yo pa manje tandon ki tache nan gwo janm nan avèk anch ki sou jwenti a, akoz ke li te touche jwenti gwo janm nan tandon ki tache nan anch lan.
