Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelleth in the land of his father's sojournings — in the land of Canaan.
Alò, Jacob te viv nan peyi kote papa li te konn demere a, nan peyi Canaan an.
2 These [are] births of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, hath been enjoying himself with his brethren among the flock, (and he [is] a youth, ) with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph bringeth in an account of their evil unto their father.
Sa yo se achiv a jenerasyon Jacob yo. Joseph, lè l te gen laj dis-sèt ane, li t ap okipe bann mouton an avèk frè l yo, pandan li te toujou nan jennès li, ansanm avèk fis Bila yo, ak fis Zilpa yo, madanm a papa l yo. Epi Joseph te pote yon move rapò sou yo, bay papa li.
3 And Israel hath loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he [is] a son of his old age, and hath made for him a long coat;
Alò, Israël te renmen Joseph plis ke tout lòt fis li yo, akoz ke li te fèt nan vyeyès li; epi li te fè pou li yon vètman plen tout koulè.
4 and his brethren see that their father hath loved him more than any of his brethren, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak [to] him peaceably.
Frè li yo te wè ke papa yo te renmen li plis ke tout frè li yo. Konsa, yo te vin rayi li, e yo pa t kapab pale avèk li an amitye.
5 And Joseph dreameth a dream, and declareth to his brethren, and they add still more to hate him.
Alò, Joseph te fè yon rèv, e lè l te repete l bay frè l yo, konsa, yo te vin rayi li plis.
6 And he saith unto them, 'Hear ye, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Li te di yo: “Souple, koute rèv sa a ke m te fè a.
7 that, lo, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field, and lo, my bundle hath arisen, and hath also stood up, and lo, your bundles are round about, and bow themselves to my bundle.'
Gade byen, nou t ap mare pakèt rekòlt yo nan chan an, e gade byen, pakèt pa nou yo te vin antoure pa m nan e yo te vin bese devan pakèt pa mwen yo.”
8 And his brethren say to him, 'Dost thou certainly reign over us? dost thou certainly rule over us?' and they add still more to hate him, for his dreams, and for his words.
Alò, frè li yo te di li: “Èske vrèman ou ap vin renye sou nou? Oswa èske ou ap vin gouvène sou nou?” Epi yo te vin rayi li plis pou rèv li yo, ak pawòl li yo.
9 And he dreameth yet another dream, and recounteth it to his brethren, and saith, 'Lo, I have dreamed a dream again, and lo, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves to me.'
Alò li te vin fè yon rèv toujou, li te eksplike li bay frè li yo. Li te di: “Gade, mwen te fè yon lòt rèv; e gade byen, solèy la, lalin lan avèk onz zetwal yo t ap bese ba devan mwen.”
10 And he recounteth unto his father, and unto his brethren; and his father pusheth against him, and saith to him, 'What [is] this dream which thou hast dreamt? do we certainly come — I, and thy mother, and thy brethren — to bow ourselves to thee, to the earth?'
Li te eksplike li bay papa li avèk frè li yo. Papa li te reprimande li e te di l: “Kisa sa ye, rèv sa ou te fè a? Èske mwen, manman ou avèk frè ou yo vrèman ap vin bese atè devan ou?”
11 and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father hath watched the matter.
Frè li yo te fè jalouzi akoz li, men papa li te kenbe pawòl sa yo nan tèt li.
12 And his brethren go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
Epi frè li yo te ale mennen bann mouton an Sichem.
13 and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'Are not thy brethren feeding in Shechem? come, and I send thee unto them;' and he saith to him, 'Here [am] I;'
Israël te di Joseph: “Èske frè ou yo p ap okipe bann mouton an Sichem? Vini pou mwen ka voye ou bò kote yo.” Epi li te reponn: “Mwen va ale”.
14 and he saith to him, 'Go, I pray thee, see the peace of thy brethren, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word;' and he sendeth him from the valley of Hebron, and he cometh to Shechem.
Alò, li te di li: “Ale koulye a pou okipe afè frè ou yo ak afè bann mouton an, e vin pote nouvèl ban mwen.” Epi li te ale nan vale Hébron an e li te rive Sichem.
15 And a man findeth him, and lo, he is wandering in the field, and the man asketh him, saying, 'What seekest thou?'
Yon mesye te twouve li, e gade byen, li t ap mache toupatou nan chan an. Konsa, mesye a te mande li: “Kisa w ap chache?”
16 and he saith, 'My brethren I am seeking, declare to me, I pray thee, where they are feeding?'
Li te di: “Mwen ap chache frè m yo. Souple, fè m konnen kote yo ap fè patiraj pou bann mouton an.”
17 And the man saith, 'They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,' and Joseph goeth after his brethren, and findeth them in Dothan.
Alò, mesye a te di: “Yo te deplase isit la, paske mwen te tande yo di: ‘Annou ale Dothan.’” Epi Joseph te swiv frè li yo, e li te twouve yo Dothan.
18 And they see him from afar, even before he draweth near unto them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
Lè yo te wè li depi nan distans, e avan li te parèt kote yo, yo te fè konplo pou mete li a lanmò.
19 And they say one unto another, 'Lo, this man of the dreams cometh;
Yo te di youn ak lòt: “Men sila ki fè rèv la ap vini!
20 and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast hath devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.'
Alò, koulye a, annou touye li e jete li nan youn nan fòs yo, e nou va di: ‘yon bèt sovaj te devore li.’ Koulye a annou wè kisa rèv li yo ap devni!”
21 And Reuben heareth, and delivereth him out of their hand, and saith, 'Let us not smite the life;'
Men Reuben te tande sa, li te retire li nan men yo, e li te di: “Annou pa pran lavi li.”
22 and Reuben saith unto them, 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and put not forth a hand upon him,' — in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back unto his father.
Reuben te di yo anplis de sa: “Pa vèse san. Jete li nan twou sila ki nan dezè a, men pa mete men sou li” —akoz lentansyon li te gen pou fè l chape nan men yo, pou l ta kapab remèt li bay papa l.
23 And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] upon him,
Alò li te rive ke lè Joseph te rive kote frè li yo, yo te retire vètman an sou li, (sa ki te gen anpil koulè ladann nan);
24 and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is no water in it.
epi yo te pran li e yo te jete li nan fòs la. Alò fòs la te vid e li pa t gen dlo ladann.
25 And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their eyes, and look, and lo, a company of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, and their camels bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh, going to take [them] down to Egypt.
Alò, yo te chita pou manje yon manje. Epi pandan yo te leve zye yo, yo te gade, e vwala, yon ekip Izmayelit ki t ap sòti Galaad, avèk chamo ki t ap pote yon chaj gòm awomatik, bòm avèk mè pou rive an Égypte.
26 And Judah saith unto his brethren, 'What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed his blood?
Juda te di a frè li yo: “Ki avantaj sa ye si nou touye frè nou an, e kache san li?
27 Come, and we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother — our flesh;' and his brethren hearken.
Vini, annou vann li bay Izmayelit yo e annou pa mete men nou sou li, paske li se frè nou, pwòp chè nou.” Epi frè li yo te koute li.
28 And Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silverlings, and they bring Joseph into Egypt.
Alò, kèk nan machann Madyanit yo te pase, epi frè l yo te rale li soti nan fòs la e te vann li bay Izmayelit yo pou ven sik lajan. Konsa yo te mennen Joseph antre an Égypte.
29 And Reuben returneth unto the pit, and lo, Joseph is not in the pit, and he rendeth his garments,
Alò, Reuben te retounen nan fòs la, e gade byen, Joseph pa t la nan fòs la; epi li te chire rad li.
30 and he returneth unto his brethren, and saith, 'The lad is not, and I — whither am I going?'
Li te retounen vè frè li yo e te di: “Ti gason an pa la non; e pou mwen menm, kibò pou m ale?”
31 And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
Konsa, yo te pran vètman Joseph la, yo te kòche yon mal kabrit, e yo te tranpe vètman an nan san an.
32 and send the long coat, and they bring [it] in unto their father, and say, 'This have we found; discern, we pray thee, whether it [is] thy son's coat or not?'
Yo te voye vètman anpil koulè a pote li bay papa yo e yo te di: “Nou te twouve sa a. Souple, gade l byen e wè si se vètman a fis ou a oswa non.”
33 And he discerneth it, and saith, 'My son's coat! an evil beast hath devoured him; torn — torn is Joseph!'
Li te egzamine li e te di: “Se vètman fis mwen an. Yon bèt sovaj gen tan devore li. Joseph vrèman gen tan chire an mòso!”
34 And Jacob rendeth his raiment, and putteth sackcloth on his loins, and becometh a mourner for his son many days,
Alò, Jacob te chire rad li, li te mete twal sak nan ren li, e li te pase anpil jou ap lamante pou fis li a.
35 and all his sons and all his daughters rise to comfort him, and he refuseth to comfort himself, and saith, 'For — I go down mourning unto my son, to Sheol,' and his father weepeth for him. (Sheol h7585)
Alò, tout fis li yo, ak tout fi li yo te leve pou konsole li, men li te refize konsole. Epi li te di: “Vrèman mwen va desann kote fis mwen an, kote sejou mò yo ak lamante pou fis mwen an.” Epi papa li te kriye pou li. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Medanites have sold him unto Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
Antretan, Madyanit yo te vann li an Égypte a Potiphar, ofisye Farawon an, chèf nan kò gad la.
