Jenèz 28
1 Izarak rele Jakòb, li beni l'. Apre sa, li ba li lòd sa a: -Piga ou pran fi peyi Kanaran an pou madanm ou.
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 Leve non, ale Mezopotami lakay Betwèl, papa manman ou. W'a pran yonn nan piti fi Laban yo pou madanm. Laban, se frè manman ou.
Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
3 Mwen mande Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pou l' beni maryaj ou, pou l' ba ou anpil pitit, pou ou tounen zansèt anpil nasyon.
And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a company of peoples;
4 Se pou l' beni ou, ou menm ansanm ak tout pitit pitit ou yo, menm jan li te beni Abraram, pou ou ka pran posesyon peyi kote w'ap viv koulye a, peyi li te deja bay Abraram lan.
and give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojournings, which God gave unto Abraham.
5 Se konsa Izarak fè Jakòb pati. Jakòb ale nan Mezopotami lakay Laban, pitit Betwèl, moun peyi Aram lan. Laban se te frè Rebeka, manman Jakòb ak Ezaou.
And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Paddan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
6 Ezaou vin konnen ki jan Izarak te beni Jakòb, ki jan li te voye l' Mezopotami al chache yon madanm. Li vin konnen tout lè Izarak t'ap beni Jakòb la, li te pase l' lòd sa a: Piga ou pran fi peyi Kanaran an pou madanm ou.
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
7 Ezaou te wè Jakob te obeyi papa l' ak manman l', li te pati pou Mezopotami.
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan-aram:
8 Konsa, Ezaou vin wè Izarak papa l' pa t' renmen fi peyi Kanaran yo.
and Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
9 Li leve, li ale lakay Izmayèl, lòt pitit gason Abraram lan, li pran yon lòt madanm mete sou sa li te genyen deja yo. Li marye ak Maalat, yonn nan pitit fi Izmayèl yo. Maalat sa a, se te sè Nebajòt.
and Esau went unto Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10 Jakòb kite Bècheba, li pati pou Karan.
And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
11 Li rive yon kote, li rete pase nwit la la, paske sòlèy te fin kouche. Li pran yon wòch sèvi l' zòrye, epi li kouche atè a konsa pou l' dòmi.
And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 Li fè yon rèv. Li reve li wè yon nechèl ki te kanpe de pye l' atè ak tèt li pèdi nan syèl la. Zanj Bondye yo t'ap moute desann sou nechèl la.
And he dreamed; and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13 Epi li wè Seyè a kanpe anwo nechèl la. Seyè a t'ap di: -Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, zansèt ou, ak Bondye Izarak. Ou wè tè kote ou kouche a, m'ap ba ou l' pou ou menm ansanm ak tout pitit pitit ou yo.
And, behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 Pitit pitit ou yo pral menm kantite ak grenn pousyè ki sou latè. Yo pral gaye nan tout direksyon, lès, lwès, nò, sid. Ou menm ak tout pitit pitit ou yo, nou pral tounen yon benediksyon pou tout moun ki sou latè.
and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 Pa bliye, m'ap toujou la avèk ou, m'ap voye je sou ou kote ou pase. M'ap fè ou tounen nan peyi sa a, paske mwen p'ap lage ou san m' pa fè tout sa mwen sot di ou la a.
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
16 Jakòb leve nan dòmi an, li di: -Wè pa wè, Seyè a isit la, mwen pa t' konn sa.
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Jehovah is in this place; and I knew it not.
17 Msye vin pè, li di: -Isit la se yon kote pou moun respekte! Se pa lòt bagay, isit la se kay Bondye ak pòt syèl la.
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 Jakòb leve byen bònè, li pran wòch li te fè sèvi l' zòrye a, li plante l' tankou yon bòn tè, li vide lwil sou li pou mete l' apa pou Bondye.
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 Li rele kote sa a Betèl. (Anvan sa, lavil la te rele Louz.)
And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
20 Jakòb fè yon pwomès bay Seyè a, li di: -Si Bondye toujou kanpe avèk mwen, si li voye je sou mwen nan tout vwayaj sa m'ap fè a, si li ban m' manje pou m' manje ak rad pou m' met sou mwen,
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 si l' fè m' tounen ak kè poze lakay papa m', Seyè a va Bondye m' vre.
so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Jehovah will be my God,
22 Wòch sa a mwen plante nan tè tankou bòn lan va sèvi kay pou Bondye. m'a ba ou yon dizyèm nan tout sa ou va ban mwen.
then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
