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 cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, 'My son;' and he saith unto him, 'Here [am] I.'
2 Izarak di l': -Ou wè jan m' fin vye. Mwen pa konn ki jou m'ap mouri.
And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known 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.
and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,
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 for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth 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 is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision — to bring in;
6 Lè sa a, Rebeka di Jakòb, pitit li a: -Men mwen fèk tande papa ou di Ezaou, frè ou la:
and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, 'Lo, I have heard thy father speaking 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 for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah 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, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding 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, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved;
10 W'a pote l' bay papa ou, la manje, la beni ou anvan l' mouri.
and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth 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 saith unto Rebekah his mother, 'Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I 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.
it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, 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 saith to him, 'On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for 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 goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath 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 taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put on Jacob her younger son;
16 Avèk po ti kabrit yo, li kouvri bra ak kou Jakòb.
and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
17 Apre sa, li bay Jakòb manje a avèk pen li te fè.
and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, 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 cometh in unto his father, and saith, 'My father;' and he saith, '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 saith unto his father, 'I [am] Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth 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 saith unto his son, 'What [is] this thou hast hasted to find, my son?' and he saith, 'That which Jehovah thy God hath caused to come 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 saith unto Jacob, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, and I feel thee, my son, whether thou [art] he, 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 cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he feeleth him, and saith, 'The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands 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 hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,
24 Li di l': -Se vre, se Ezaou, pitit mwen, ou ye? Jakòb reponn li: -Se mwen wi.
and saith, 'Thou art he — my son Esau?' and he saith, '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 saith, 'Bring nigh to me, and I do eat of my son's provision, so that my soul doth bless thee;' and he bringeth nigh to him, and he eateth; and he bringeth to him wine, and he drinketh.
26 Izarak, papa l', di l': -Pwoche non, pitit mwen. vin bo m'.
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Come nigh, 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 cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, 'See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which Jehovah 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 God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance 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.
peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] blessed.'
30 Izarak te fin beni Jakòb. Jakòb te fèk kite papa li, Izarak, lè Ezaou, frè li a, antre soti lachas.
And it cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come 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 maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his father, and saith to his father, 'Let my father arise, and eat of his son's provision, so that thy soul doth 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 saith to him, 'Who [art] thou?' and he saith, '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 trembleth a very great trembling, and saith, 'Who, now, [is] he who hath provided provision, and bringeth in to me, and I eat of all before thou comest in, and I bless him? — yea, blessed is he.'
34 Lè Ezaou tande sa, yon sèl kòlè moute l', li tonbe rele byen fò: -Beni m' tout non, papa!
When Esau heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, 'Bless me, me also, O my father;'
35 Izarak reponn li: -Frè ou la vini, li twonpe m'. Li pran benediksyon ki te pou ou a.
and he saith, 'Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh 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 saith, 'Is it because [one] called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;' he saith also, 'Hast thou not kept back 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 answereth and saith to Esau, 'Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, 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 saith unto his father, 'One blessing hast thou my father? bless me, me also, O my father;' and Esau lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.
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 answereth and saith unto him, 'Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens 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 dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken 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 hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, 'The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay Jacob my brother.'
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 the words of Esau her elder son are declared to Rebekah, and she sendeth and calleth for Jacob her younger son, and saith unto him, 'Lo, Esau thy brother is comforting himself in regard to thee — to slay 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.
and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,
44 W'a rete kèk tan la avèk li, jouk tan kòlè frè ou la va bese,
and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's fury turn back,
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?
till thy brother's anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same 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 saith unto Isaac, 'I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these — from the daughters of the land — why do I live?'
