Genesis 29
1 And Jacob lifteth up his feet, and goeth towards the land of the sons of the east;
Alò, Jacob te ale nan vwayaj li a, e li te vini nan peyi ki te pou fis a lès yo.
2 and he looketh, and lo, a well in the field, and lo, there three droves of a flock crouching by it, for from that well they water the droves, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of the well.
Lè li te gade, li te wè yon pwi nan chan an, e gade byen, te gen twa bann mouton ki te kouche la akote li, paske se te avèk pwi sa a ke yo te bay tout bèt yo dlo. Alò, wòch la sou bouch pwi a te byen laj.
3 (When thither have all the droves been gathered, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)
Lè tout bèje mouton yo te rasanble la, yo te konn woule wòch la sòti nan bouch pwi a, pou te bay mouton yo dlo, e te remete wòch la nan plas li sou bouch pwi a.
4 And Jacob saith to them, 'My brethren, from whence [are] ye?' and they say, 'We [are] from Haran.'
Jacob te di yo: “Frè m yo, kibò nou sòti?”: Yo te reponn: “Nou sòti nan Charan.”
5 And he saith to them, 'Have ye known Laban, son of Nahor?' and they say, 'We have known.'
Li te di yo: “Èske nou konnen Laban, fis Nachor a?” Epi yo te di: “Nou konnen li.”
6 And he saith to them, 'Hath he peace?' and they say, 'Peace; and lo, Rachel his daughter is coming with the flock.'
Li te mande yo: “Èske tout bagay ale byen pou li?” Epi yo te reponn: “Wi, tout bagay ale byen pou li. Men fi li a, Rachel k ap vini avèk mouton yo.”
7 And he saith, 'Lo, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the cattle to be gathered; water ye the flock, and go, delight yourselves.'
Li te di: “Gade byen, li toujou gwo lajounen; li poko lè pou rasanble bèt. Bay bèt yo dlo, e mete yo nan patiraj toujou.”
8 And they say, 'We are not able, till that all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.'
Men yo te di: “Nou pa kapab jiskaske tout bèje mouton yo fin rasanble, e yo woule wòch la sòti nan bouch pwi a. Se nan lè sa a nou va bay mouton yo dlo.”
9 He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel hath come with the flock which her father hath, for she [is] shepherdess;
Pandan li t ap pale avèk yo, Rachel te parèt avèk mouton papa l yo, paske li te yon bèje.
10 and it cometh to pass when Jacob hath seen Rachel, daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the flock of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob cometh nigh and rolleth the stone from off the mouth of the well, and watereth the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
Lè Jacob te wè Rachel, fi Laban an, frè manman li, ak mouton Laban yo, frè manman l, Jacob te pwoche. Li te woule wòch la sòti nan pwi a, e li te bay dlo a bann mouton Laban an, frè manman l lan.
11 And Jacob kisseth Rachel, and lifteth up his voice, and weepeth,
Epi Jacob te bo Rachel. Li te leve vwa li, e li te kriye.
12 and Jacob declareth to Rachel that he [is] her father's brother, and that he [is] Rebekah's son, and she runneth and declareth to her father.
Jacob te di Rachel ke li te yon moun fanmi papa l, e ke li te fis a Rebecca. Li te kouri di papa l sa.
13 And it cometh to pass, when Laban heareth the report of Jacob his sister's son, that he runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and kisseth him, and bringeth him in unto his house; and he recounteth to Laban all these things,
Alò, lè Laban te tande nouvèl Jacob la, fis a sè li, li te kouri pou ale rankontre avè l e te anbrase li. Li te bo li, e te mennen li lakay li. Konsa, Jacob te eksplike Laban tout bagay sa yo.
14 and Laban saith to him, 'Only my bone and my flesh [art] thou;' and he dwelleth with him a month of days.
Laban te di li: “Anverite, ou se zo mwen avèk chè mwen.” Konsa, li te rete avèk li pandan yon mwa.
15 And Laban saith to Jacob, 'Is it because thou [art] my brother that thou hast served me for nought? declare to me what [is] thy hire.'
Alò Laban te di a Jacob: “Akoz ke ou se moun fanmi mwen, èske sa vle di ke ou ta dwe sèvi mwen gratis? Di m, kisa pou m bay ou kòm salè?”
16 And Laban hath two daughters, the name of the elder [is] Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,
Alò, Laban te gen de fi. Non pi gran an se te Léa, e lòt la se te Rachel.
17 and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel hath been fair of form and fair of appearance.
Epi zye a Léa yo te fèb, men Rachel te byen bèl nan figi l, ni nan fòm li.
18 And Jacob loveth Rachel, and saith, 'I serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter:'
Alò Jacob te renmen Rachel, e konsa li te di: “Mwen va sèvi ou pandan sèt ane pou fi ou ki pi jèn nan, Rachel.”
19 and Laban saith, 'It is better for me to give her to thee than to give her to another man; dwell with me;'
Laban te di: “Li pi bon pou m bay ou li pase pou m ta bay li a yon lòt gason. Rete avè m.”
20 and Jacob serveth for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.
Jacob te sèvi sèt ane pou Rachel, men yo te parèt a li menm kòmsi se te kèk jou akoz lamou li te gen pou li.
21 And Jacob saith unto Laban, 'Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in unto her;'
Konsa, Jacob te di a Laban: “Ban mwen madanm mwen, paske tan mwen an gen tan fin konplete, pou m kapab antre nan relasyon avè l.”
22 and Laban gathereth all the men of the place, and maketh a banquet.
Laban te rasanble tout mesye yo nan plas la, e li te fè yon gwo fèt.
23 And it cometh to pass in the evening, that he taketh Leah, his daughter, and bringeth her in unto him, and he goeth in unto her;
Men nan aswè, li te pran fi li, Léa, e li te mennen li kote Jacob. Li te antre an relasyon avèk li.
24 and Laban giveth to her Zilpah, his maid-servant, to Leah his daughter, a maid-servant.
Laban osi te bay sèvant li, Zilpa, pou Léa kòm sèvant.
25 And it cometh to pass in the morning, that lo, it [is] Leah; and he saith unto Laban, 'What [is] this thou hast done to me? for Rachel have I not served with thee? and why hast thou deceived me?'
Nan maten, gade byen, li vin parèt ke se te Léa! Konsa, li te di a Laban: “Kisa sa ou te fè m la a? “Èske se pa pou Rachel ke m te sèvi ou a? Poukisa ou fè m desepsyon sila a?”
26 And Laban saith, 'It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first-born;
Men Laban te di: “Se pa koutim peyi nou pou fè maryaj a pi jèn nan avan premye ne a.
27 fulfil the week of this one, and we give to thee also this one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven other years.'
Konplete semèn nan avèk sila a, e nou va bay ou lòt la tou; pou sèvis sa a, ou va sèvi m yon lòt sèt ane.”
28 And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one, and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife;
Jacob te fè sa, li te konplete semèn nan avèk fi a, e li te ba li fi li, Rachel, kòm madanm li.
29 and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her.
Laban osi te bay sèvant li, Bilha a fi li, Rachel kòm sèvant li.
30 And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other years.
Alò, Jacob te antre an relasyon ak Rachel osi, e vrèman, li te renmen Rachel plis ke Léa, e li te sèvi avèk Laban pandan yon lòt sèt ane.
31 And Jehovah seeth that Leah [is] the hated one, and He openeth her womb, and Rachel [is] barren;
Alò, SENYÈ a te wè ke Léa te manke renmen, e Li te ouvri vant li, men Rachel te rete san pitit.
32 and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Reuben, for she said, 'Because Jehovah hath looked on mine affliction; because now doth my husband love me.'
Léa te vin ansent. Li te fè yon fis, e li te nonmen li Reuben, paske li te di: “Akoz ke SENYÈ a te wè doulè mwen, asireman koulye a mari mwen va renmen m.”
33 And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, 'Because Jehovah hath heard that I [am] the hated one, He also giveth to me even this [one];' and she calleth his name Simeon.
Li te vin ansent ankò, li te fè yon fis, e li te di: “Akoz ke SENYÈ a te tande ke mwen te rayi, pou sa Li te ban mwen fis sila a osi.” Alò, li te bay li non Siméon.
34 And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, 'Now [is] the time, my husband is joined unto me, because I have born to him three sons,' therefore hath [one] called his name Levi.
Li te vin ansent ankò, li te fè yon fis. Konsa, li te di: “Alò fwa sa a mari mwen va vin atache a mwen, paske mwen te fè twa fis pou li.” Pou sa, li te nonmen li Lévi.
35 And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith this time, 'I praise Jehovah;' therefore hath she called his name Judah; and she ceaseth from bearing.
Epi li te vin ansent ankò. Li te fè yon fis, e li te di: “Fwa sa, mwen va louwe SENYÈ a.” Pou sa li te nonmen li Juda. Epi konsa, li te vin sispann fè pitit.
