Genesis 31
1 And he heareth the words of Laban's sons, saying, 'Jacob hath taken all that our father hath; yea, from that which our father hath, he hath made all this honour;'
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 seeth the face of Laban, and lo, it is not with him as heretofore.
Jacob te wè konpòtman Laban, e gade byen, li pa t emab anvè li jan li te ye avan an.
3 And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, 'Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am 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 And Jacob sendeth and calleth 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 saith to them, 'I am beholding your father's face — that it is not towards me as heretofore, and 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 — ye have known that with all my power I have served your father,
Nou konnen ke mwen te sèvi papa nou avèk tout fòs mwen.
7 and your father hath played upon me, and hath changed my hire ten times; and God hath not suffered him to do evil 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 he say thus: The speckled are thy hire, then bare all the flock speckled ones; and if he say thus: The ring-streaked are thy hire, then bare all the flock ring-streaked;
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 and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth give to me.
Konsa Bondye te retire bèt yo nan men papa ou, e Li te ban mwen yo.
10 'And it cometh to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up mine eyes and see in a dream, and lo, the he-goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled;
“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 saith unto me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here [am] I.
“Alò, zanj Bondye a te di mwen nan rèv la: ‘Jacob,’ epi mwen te di: ‘Men mwen.’
12 'And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see — all the he-goats which are going up on the flock [are] ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that Laban is 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 Bethel where thou hast anointed a standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy birth.'
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 And Rachel answereth — Leah also — and saith to him, 'Have we yet a portion and 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 have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money;
Èske li pa rekonèt nou kòm etranje? Paske li gen tan vann nou. Anplis, li te manje tout byen nou ranmase.
16 for all the wealth which God hath taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children's; and now, all that 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 And Jacob riseth, and lifteth up 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 leadeth all his cattle, and all his substance which he hath acquired, the cattle of his getting, which he hath acquired in Padan-Aram, to go unto Isaac his father, to 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 And Laban hath gone to shear his flock, and Rachel stealeth the teraphim which her father hath;
Lè Laban te ale pou taye plim mouton li yo, Rachel te vòlè zidòl lakay ki te pou papa li yo.
20 and Jacob deceiveth the heart of Laban the Aramaean, because he hath not declared to him that he is fleeing;
Konsa, Jacob te twonpe Laban, Arameyen an. Li pa t di li ke li t ap sove ale.
21 and he fleeth, he and all that he hath, and riseth, and passeth over the River, and setteth his face [toward] the mount 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 is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob hath fled,
Lè yo te di Laban nan twazyèm jou ke Jacob te sove ale a,
23 and he taketh his brethren with him, and pursueth after him a journey of seven days, and overtaketh him in the mount 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 cometh in unto Laban the Aramaean in a dream of the night, and saith to him, 'Take heed to thyself lest thou speak with Jacob from good unto evil.'
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 And Laban overtaketh Jacob; and Jacob hath fixed his tent in the mount; and Laban with his brethren have fixed [theirs] in the mount 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 And Laban saith to Jacob, 'What hast thou done that thou dost deceive my heart, and lead away 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 Why hast thou hidden thyself to flee, and deceivest me, and hast not declared to me, and I send thee away with joy and with songs, with tabret and with harp,
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 hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? — now thou hast acted foolishly in doing [so];
Ou pa t menm kite m bo fis mwen yo, ak fi mwen yo. Alò, ou gen tan fè betiz.
29 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father yesternight hath spoken unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself from speaking with Jacob from good unto evil.
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 'And now, thou hast certainly gone, because thou hast been very desirous for the house of thy father; why hast thou stolen 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 answereth and saith to Laban, 'Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take violently away 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 with whomsoever thou findest thy gods — he doth not live; before our brethren discern for thyself what [is] with me, and take to thyself:' and Jacob hath not known that Rachel hath 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 And Laban goeth into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and hath not found; and he goeth out from the tent of Leah, and goeth 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 And Rachel hath taken the teraphim, and putteth them in the furniture of the camel, and sitteth upon them; and Laban feeleth all the tent, and hath not found;
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 saith unto her father, 'Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at thy presence, for the way of women [is] on me;' and he searcheth, and hath not found the teraphim.
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 is displeasing to Jacob, and he striveth with Laban; and Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, 'What [is] my transgression? what my sin, that thou hast burned 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 for thou hast felt all my vessels: what hast thou found of all the vessels of thy house? set here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and they decide between us both.
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 'These twenty years I [am] with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not miscarried, and the rams of thy flock I have 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 I have not brought in unto thee — I, I repay it — from my hand thou dost seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived 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 I have been [thus]: in the day consumed me hath drought, and frost by night, and wander doth my sleep 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 [is] to me twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou changest my hire 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 unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.'
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 And Laban answereth and saith unto Jacob, 'The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that thou art seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters — what do I to these to-day, or to their sons whom they have born?
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 and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it hath been for a witness between 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 And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up [for] a standing pillar;
Konsa, Jacob te pran yon gwo wòch. Li te fè l kanpe tankou yon pilye.
46 and Jacob saith to his brethren, 'Gather stones,' and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on 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 calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath called it Galeed.
Alò Laban te rele la Jegar-Sahadutha, men Jacob te rele l Galed.
48 And Laban saith, 'This heap [is] witness between me and thee to-day;' therefore hath he called its name 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 Mizpah also, for he said, 'Jehovah doth watch between me and thee, for we are hidden 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 afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters — there is no man with us — see, God [is] witness between 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 saith to Jacob, 'Lo, this heap, and lo, the standing pillar which I have cast between 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 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap unto thee, and that thou dost not pass over this heap and this standing pillar unto me — for evil;
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 God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge between us — the God of their father,' and Jacob sweareth by the Fear 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 sacrificeth a sacrifice in the mount, and calleth to his brethren to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge in the mount;
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 riseth early in the morning, and kisseth his sons and his daughters, and blesseth them; and Laban goeth on, and turneth back 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.
