Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two maid-servants;
Jakòb leve je l' gade, li wè Ezaou ki t'ap mache vin jwenn li avèk katsan moun dèyè li. Li pran timoun yo, li separe yo, li bay Leya pa l' yo, li bay Rachèl pa l' yo, li bay de sèvant yo pa yo.
2 and he setteth the maid-servants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Li mete de sèvant yo devan nèt ak pitit yo, Leya ak pitit li yo nan mitan, Rachèl ak Jozèf dèyè nèt.
3 And he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto his brother,
Li menm, li pran mache devan yo tout. Li bese tèt li jouk atè pandan sèt fwa, jouk li rive toupre Ezaou, frè li a.
4 and Esau runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep;
Ezaou menm kouri al kontre l', li pase bra l' nan kou l', li bat do l', li bo li. Epi yo tout de yo pran kriye.
5 and he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, 'What [are] these to thee?' And he saith, 'The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.'
Lè Ezaou voye je l' gade, li wè medam yo ak timoun yo. Li di: -Ki moun sa yo ki avè ou la a? Jakòb reponn li: -tout se pitit Seyè a bay nèg pa ou la.
6 And the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children, and bow themselves;
Lè sa a, sèvant yo pwoche ak timoun yo, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan Ezaou.
7 and Leah also draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
Apre sa, Leya pwoche ak timoun pa l' yo, yo bese tèt yo tout devan li. Andènye nèt, Jozèf ak Rachèl pwoche, yo bese tèt yo tout devan li.
8 And he saith, 'What to thee [is] all this camp which I have met?' and he saith, 'To find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
Ezaou mande l': -Moun mwen kontre pi devan an, poukisa ou te voye yo? Jakòb reponn li: -Se pou m' te ka fè kè ou kontan.
9 And Esau saith, 'I have abundance, my brother, let it be to thyself that which thou hast.'
Ezaou di l': -Frè mwen, mwen gen tout sa m' bezwen. Ou mèt kenbe tou sa ou genyen pou ou.
10 And Jacob saith, 'Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, then thou hast received my present from my hand, because that I have seen thy face, as the seeing of the face of God, and thou art pleased with me;
Jakòb reponn li: -Non. Si ou kontan wè m' tout bon, tanpri, asepte kado m'ap ba ou yo. Paske, lè mwen kontre ou, se tankou si m' te wè figi Bondye. Gade jan ou resevwa m' byen.
11 receive, I pray thee, my blessing, which is brought to thee, because God hath favoured me, and because I have all [things];' and he presseth on him, and he receiveth,
Tanpri, asepte kado m'ap ba ou yo, paske Bondye te beni m' anpil. Mwen pa manke anyen. Jakòb fòse Ezaou sitèlman, bout pou bout, Ezaou asepte.
12 and saith, 'Let us journey and go on, and I go on before thee.'
Li di: -Bon. Ann pati. Ann ale. M'ap pran devan ou.
13 And he saith unto him, 'My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then hath all the flock died.
Men Jakòb reponn li: -Mèt mwen, ou konnen jan timoun yo fèb. Epi, fòk mwen pa bliye fenmèl mouton ak manman bèf yo ki nouris. Si m' fè yo mache twòp yon sèl jou, se kont pou yo tout mouri.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I — I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until that I come unto my lord, to Seir.'
Tanpri, mèt mwen, ou mèt pran devan nèg pa ou la, mwen menm m'ap vin dèyè ti pa ti pa, jan bèt yo ak timoun yo ka mache, jouk m'a rive lakay ou nan peyi Seyi.
15 And Esau saith, 'Let me, I pray thee, place with thee some of the people who [are] with me;' and he said, 'Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
Ezaou di l': -Bon. m'a kite kèk moun nan moun pa m' yo avè ou? Jakòb reponn: -Se pa nesesè. Yon sèl bagay mwen mande, se pou mèt mwen bliye tout bagay.
16 And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way to Seir;
Menm jou a, Ezaou pati tounen nan peyi Seyi.
17 and Jacob hath journeyed to Succoth, and buildeth to himself a house, and for his cattle hath made booths, therefore hath he called the name of the place Succoth.
Jakòb menm pati pou Soukòt. Lè li rive la, li bati yon kay pou li ak yon pak pou bèt li yo. Se sak fè yo rele kote sa a Soukòt.
18 And Jacob cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encampeth before the city,
Lè Jakòb tounen soti Mezopotami, li rive anbyen lavil Sichèm, nan peyi Kanaran. Li moute tant li sou moso tè ki anfas lavil la.
19 and he buyeth the portion of the field where he hath stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah;
Li achte moso tè kote li te moute tant li a pou san (100) pyès lajan nan men pitit Amò yo. Se Amò sa a ki te papa Sichèm.
20 and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God — the God of Israel.
Jakòb bati yon lotèl la tou. Li rele l': Bondye se Bondye Izrayèl la.
