Jenèz 27
1 Izarak te fin vye granmoun, je l' pa t' bon, li pa t' kapab wè ladan yo ankò. Li rele premye pitit li a, Ezaou, li di l' konsa: -Pitit mwen, Ezaou reponn li: -Men mwen wi, papa.
And it came to pass, when Isaac was old, and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
2 Izarak di l': -Ou wè jan m' fin vye. Mwen pa konn ki jou m'ap mouri.
And he said, Behold now, I am grown old, I know not the day of my death:
3 Tanpri, pran zam ou yo, flèch ou yo ak banza ou la. Ale nan bwa a, chase jibye pou mwen.
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me some venison;
4 Lèfini, pare vyann lan jan ou konnen mwen renmen l' lan, pote l' ban mwen. m'a manje. Epi m'a ba ou benediksyon mwen anvan m' mouri.
And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
5 Rebeka menm t'ap tande sa Izarak t'ap di Ezaou, gason l' lan. Ezaou soti, li pati li al lachas pou papa l'.
And Rebekah heard as Isaac was speaking to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 Lè sa a, Rebeka di Jakòb, pitit li a: -Men mwen fèk tande papa ou di Ezaou, frè ou la:
And Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 Al chase jibye pote pou mwen, kwit li, m'a manje. Apre sa, m'a beni ou devan Seyè a anvan m' mouri.
Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before my death.
8 Koulye a, pitit mwen, koute sa m'ap di ou: Fè sa m'ap mande ou la.
And now, my son, obey my voice in that which I command thee.
9 Ale pran de jenn kabrit byen gra nan bann lan, pote yo ban mwen. m'a pare yo pou papa ou jan m' konnen li renmen l' lan.
Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me from there two good kids; and I will make them savory food for thy father, such as he loveth:
10 W'a pote l' bay papa ou, la manje, la beni ou anvan l' mouri.
And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat; for the sake that he may bless thee before his death.
11 Jakòb reponn manman l': -Men manman, Ezaou, frè mwen an, gen pwal sou tout kò li. Mwen menm, po pa m' lis.
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12 Si papa m' manyen m', la wè se twonpe m'ap twonpe l'. Lè sa a pase li ban mwen benediksyon, la ban m' madichon pito.
Peradventure my father will feel me, and I shall then seem to him as a deceiver; and I would bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.
13 Men manman an reponn: -Madichon la ba ou a va tonbe sou mwen, pitit mwen. Ou menm, fè sa mwen di ou fè a, al chache kabrit yo mennen ban mwen.
And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son; only obey my voice, and go fetch them to me.
14 Jakòb ale chache bèt yo, li mennen yo bay manman l'. Manman l' pare yon manje jan li konnen papa a te renmen l' lan.
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
15 Apre sa, Rebeka pran rad Ezaou, premye pitit li a, pi bèl rad Ezaou te gen lakay la, li mete yo anwo Jakòb, dezyèm pitit li a.
And Rebekah took the goodly garments of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and clothed therewith Jacob her younger son;
16 Avèk po ti kabrit yo, li kouvri bra ak kou Jakòb.
And the skins of the kids she put upon his hands, and upon the smooth part of his neck;
17 Apre sa, li bay Jakòb manje a avèk pen li te fè.
And she gave the savory food and bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of Jacob her son.
18 Jakòb al jwenn papa l', li di: -Papa. Izarak reponn li: -Men mwen, pitit mwen. Kilès nan nou ki la a?
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou my son?
19 Jakòb reponn: -Se mwen menm Ezaou, premye gason ou lan. Mwen fè sa ou te di m' fè a. Leve non, chita. Manje vyann mwen pote pou ou a. Apre sa, wa ban mwen benediksyon.
And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou didst speak to me: arise I pray thee, sit here and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20 Izarak di Jakòb: -Ki jan ou fè jwenn bèt la vit konsa, pitit mwen? Jakòb reponn li: -Seyè a, Bondye ou la, ede m'. Li fè jibye a vin devan mwen.
And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord thy God brought it before me.
21 Izarak di: -Pwoche non. Vini mwen manyen ou, pitit mwen, pou m' wè si wi ou non ou se Ezaou, pitit mwen an.
And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be truly my son Esau or not.
22 Jakòb pwoche bò kote Izarak, papa l', ki manyen l'. Epi Izarak di: -Vwa a se vwa Jakòb, men bra a se bra Ezaou.
And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father, and he felt him; and he said, The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23 Li pa t' rekonèt Jakòb, paske bra li te plen pwal tankou bra Ezaou, frè li a. Izarak beni l'.
And he recognized him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
24 Li di l': -Se vre, se Ezaou, pitit mwen, ou ye? Jakòb reponn li: -Se mwen wi.
And he said, Art thou indeed my son Esau? and he said I am.
25 Izarak di l': -Sèvi m' non. m'a manje vyann ou pote a. Apre sa, m'a beni ou. Jakòb sèvi l' manje a, li manje. Lèfini, Jakòb ba li diven, li bwè.
And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Izarak, papa l', di l': -Pwoche non, pitit mwen. vin bo m'.
And Isaac his father said unto him, Come near, I pray thee, and kiss me, my son.
27 Jakòb pwoche, li bo papa l'. Papa a pran sant rad ki te sou li a, epi li ba li benediksyon l'. Li di l': -Sant kò pitit mwen an tankou sant yon jaden Seyè a beni.
And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is the smell of the field which the Lord hath blessed.
28 Se pou Bondye ba ou lawouze ki soti nan syèl la. Se pou l' fè jaden ou donnen anpil. Se pou l' ba ou bèl rekòt ble ak rezen.
And may God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine;
29 Se pou kantite pèp soumèt devan ou. Se pou kantite nasyon bese tèt devan ou. Se ou menm ki pou mèt frè ou yo. Se pou pitit pitit manman ou yo bese tèt devan ou. Se pou tout moun ki ba ou madichon jwenn madichon. Se pou tout moun ki beni ou jwenn benediksyon.
Nations shall serve thee, and people bow down to thee; be lord over thy brethren, and thy mother's sons shall bow down to thee; cursed be they that curse thee, and blessed be they that bless thee.
30 Izarak te fin beni Jakòb. Jakòb te fèk kite papa li, Izarak, lè Ezaou, frè li a, antre soti lachas.
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarcely gone out from the presence of his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 Li te pare yon bon plat manje, li pote l' bay papa l'. Li di l': -Leve chita non, papa. Manje vyann pitit ou pote pou ou a, pou ou ka beni l'.
And he also made savory food, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.
32 Izarak, papa l', mande: -Ki moun sa a? Li reponn: -Se mwen menm, Ezaou, premye pitit gason ou lan.
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy first-born, Esau.
33 Tande Izarak tande sa, li sezi, li pran tranble kou fèy bwa. Li di: -Kilès sa ki te pote ban m' manje jibye li sot chase a? Mwen fèk fin manje anvan ou rive la a. Mwen ba li benediksyon m' lan ki pou li nèt.
And Isaac trembled greatly, exceedingly, and said, Who was it? where is he that had hunted venison, and brought it me, and I ate of all before thou camest, and blessed him? yea, he shall also remain blessed.
34 Lè Ezaou tande sa, yon sèl kòlè moute l', li tonbe rele byen fò: -Beni m' tout non, papa!
When Esau heard the words of his father, he uttered a great and exceedingly bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, also me, my father.
35 Izarak reponn li: -Frè ou la vini, li twonpe m'. Li pran benediksyon ki te pou ou a.
And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and took away thy blessing.
36 Ezaou di: -Sa fè dezyèm fwa li pran sak pou mwen. Eske se paske li rele Jakòb la kifè l'ap pase devan m' konsa? Premye fwa a, li te pran dwa m' kòm premye pitit. Men koulye a, li pran benediksyon ki te pou mwen an! Apre sa, li di: -Men papa, èske ou pa gen yon lòt benediksyon pou mwen?
And he said, Hath he been therefore named Jacob, because he hath supplanted me these two times? my right of first-born he took away; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing: and he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me.
37 Izarak reponn Ezaou: -Mwen mete l' chèf sou ou. Mwen fè tout rès fanmi an tounen moun k'ap sèvi l'. Mwen ba li mezi pwovizyon l'. Kisa m' ka fè pou ou ankò, pitit mwen?
And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I endowed him: and what can I do now for thee, my son.
38 Ezaou di papa a: -Se sèl benediksyon sa a ou te genyen, papa? Tanpri, beni m' tout non, papa! Lè sa a, Ezaou pete yon sèl rèl, li kriye byen fò.
And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou then but one blessing, my father? bless me, also me, my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 Se konsa Izarak di l': -Latè p'ap ba ou sa l' te dwe ba ou. p'ap gen lawouze ki soti nan syèl la pou wouze jaden ou.
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and [blessed] by the dew of heaven from above;
40 Se zam ou k'ap fè ou viv. W'ap sèvi frè ou la, se vre. Men, se pye poudre ou ye, w'a soti anba men l'.
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and thy brother shalt thou serve; and it shall come to pass, that when thou shalt have the dominion, thou canst break his yoke from off thy neck.
41 Ezaou te rayi Jakòb poutèt papa a te ba li benediksyon ki te pou li a. Li di nan kè l': Papa m' pa lwen mouri. Fini yo fini antere l', m'ap touye Jakòb, frè mwen an.
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him; and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father will be at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
42 Yo vin rapòte bay Rebeka sa ki te soti nan bouch Ezaou, premye pitit gason l' lan. Li fè rele Jakòb, dezyèm pitit li a, li di l': -Koute! Ezaou, frè ou la, vle tire revanj sou ou. Li vle touye ou.
And Rebekah was informed of the words of Esau her elder son: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau doth comfort himself, with regard to thee, purposing to kill thee.
43 Koulye a, pitit mwen, koute sa m'ap di ou la. Leve, pati ale kay Laban, frè mwen an ki rete nan peyi Karan.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother, to Charan;
44 W'a rete kèk tan la avèk li, jouk tan kòlè frè ou la va bese,
And tarry with him a short time, until thy brother's fury turn away;
45 jouk tan la sispann move sou ou, jouk li va bliye sa ou te fè l' la. Lè sa a, atò, m'a voye chache ou, m'a fè ou tounen. Poukisa pou m' ta pèdi tou de pitit gason m' yo yon sèl jou a?
Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then will I send, and fetch thee from there; why should I be deprived of both of you at once in one day?
46 Rebeka di Izarak konsa: -Mwen degoute, mwen bouke ak bann fi Et sa yo. Pase pou m' ta wè Jakòb pran yonn nan moun sa yo, yonn nan bann fi Et sa yo k'ap viv nan peyi a pou madanm, pito m' mouri!
And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife from the daughters of Heth, such as these, from the daughters of the land, what good will life do me?
