Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Jakòb menm ale chemen chemen l'. Li kontre kèk zanj Bondye sou wout li.
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Lè li wè yo, li di: -Sa se lame Bondye a. Se konsa li rele kote a Manayim.
3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Jakòb voye kèk komisyonè devan al jwenn Ezaou, frè li a, nan peyi Seyi, kote Edon te rete a.
4 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.
Men sa li ba yo lòd pou yo di: -Men sa n'a di Ezaou, mèt mwen: Jakòb, nèg pa ou la, voye di ou konsa, li te pase tout tan sa a lakay Laban. Se poutèt sa li te pran tout reta sa a pou l' tounen.
5 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favour in your sight.’”
Li gen bèf, bourik, mouton, kabrit, domestik ak sèvant. Li voye di ou sa pou ou ka fè pa l'.
6 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
Lè mesaje yo tounen vin jwenn Jakòb, yo di l': -Nou t ale kote Ezaou, frè ou la. Koulye a li gen tan sou wout pou l' vin kontre ou. Li gen katsan (400) moun ak li.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
Jakòb te pè anpil. Li te boulvèse. Li pran moun ki te avè l' yo, li fè yo fè de pòsyon. Li fè menm bagay la ak mouton, bèf, chamo li te genyen yo.
8 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
Li t'ap di nan kè l': -Si Ezaou vin atake yon pòsyon, lòt pòsyon an va gen tan chape.
9 Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
Jakòb lapriyè, li di: -O Bondye Abraram granpapa m' lan, Bondye Izarak papa m' lan! O Seyè, ou menm ki te di m' tounen nan peyi m' kote m' te fèt la! W'a fè tout bagay mache byen pou mwen.
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
Mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, mwen pa wè poukisa ou fè m' tout favè sa yo, poukisa ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou avè m'. Lè m' t'ap travèse larivyè Jouden, se annik yon baton mwen te gen nan men m'. Koulye a m'ap tounen, mwen tèlman genyen, mwen ka separe yo fè de pòsyon.
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children.
Tanpri, delivre m' non anba men Ezaou, frè mwen an! Mwen pè pou l' pa vin atake nou, pou l' pa touye ata fanm yo ak timoun yo.
12 You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
Chonje sa ou te di m' lan: M'ap fè tout bagay mache byen pou ou. M'ap si tèlman ba ou pitit pitit, moun p'ap ka konte yo. Y'ap tankou grenn sab bò lanmè.
13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
Jakòb rete pase nwit la kote l' te ye a. Apre sa, nan sa l' te gen avè l' yo, li chwazi ladan yo pou fè Ezaou, frè l' la, kado.
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Li pran desan (200) fenmèl kabrit ak vin bouk, desan fenmèl mouton ak vin belye,
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
trant fenmèl chamo nouris ak tout ti chamo yo dèyè yo, karant manman bèf, dis towo, vin fenmèl bourik ak dis mal bourik.
16 He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”
Li pran bèt yo, li mete chak kalite apa, li renmèt chak kalite bay yonn nan domestik li yo. Li di yo konsa: -Pran devan mwen. Chak moun ap kite yon distans nan mitan bèt pa l' yo ak bèt ki devan l' yo.
17 He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
Epi li pase premye a lòd sa a: -Lè Ezaou, frè m' lan, va kontre ou, l'ap mande ou: Kilès ki mèt ou? Kote ou prale? Pou ki moun bèt sa yo w'ap pouse devan ou konsa a?
18 Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”
W'a reponn li: Se pou Jakòb, nèg pa ou la. Se yon kado li voye bay Ezaou, mèt mwen an. Li menm, li dèyè, l'ap vini.
19 He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.
Li pase dezyèm lan, twazyèm lan ak tout lòt moun ki t'ap mache dèyè bèt yo menm lòd la. -Men sa nou gen pou n' di Ezaou, lè nou kontre l'.
20 You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
Se pou nou di: Wi, Jakòb, nèg pa ou la, ap vin dèyè nou pye pou pye. Jakòb t'ap di nan kè l'. Avèk tout kado m'ap voye devan m' lan, m'ap fè kè l' kontan. Konsa, lè n'a kontre, ou pa janm konnen, li ka fè pa m'.
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Moun yo pran devan ak kado yo. Men Jakòb rete dèyè, li pase nwit la kote l' te ye a.
22 He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
Menm jou lannwit sa a, Jakòb leve, li pran de madanm li yo, de sèvant li yo ak onz pitit gason li yo, li janbe lòt bò larivyè Jabòk, nan pas la.
23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
Apre li fin fè yo janbe larivyè a, li fè janbe tout sa li te genyen tou.
24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
Men li menm, li te rete pou kont li dèyè. Lè sa a, gen yon moun ki mare batay ak li, yo goumen jouk devanjou.
25 When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
Lè nonm lan wè li pa t' ka bat li, li bay Jakòb yon kou nan ren l'. Se konsa zo ren l' dejwente pandan yo t'ap goumen an.
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
Nonm lan di l': -Kite m' ale, paske bajou pral kase. Jakòb reponn li: -Si ou pa beni mwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale.
27 He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
Nonm lan di: -Ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: -Jakòb.
28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
Nonm lan di l': -Yo p'ap rele ou Jakòb ankò. Y'ap rele ou Izrayèl, paske ou goumen ak Bondye, ou goumen ak moun, se ou menm ki genyen batay la.
29 Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
Jakòb mande l': -Tanpri, di m' ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: -Poukisa w'ap mande m' ki jan mwen rele? Apre sa li beni Jakòb.
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
Jakòb di konsa: -Mwen wè Bondye, mwen pa mouri. Se konsa, li rele kote l' te ye a Penyèl.
31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
Solèy te gen tan ap leve lè Jakòb kite Penyèl, li t'ap bwete poutèt ren li.
32 Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
Se poutèt sa, jouk jòdi a, pitit pitit Izrayèl yo pa manje venn ki kenbe zo ren an, paske se sou venn sa a Bondye te frape Jakòb.
