Jenèz 29
1 Jakòb pran mache ankò, li ale nan direksyon peyi moun ki rete bò kote solèy leve a.
Then Iacob lyfte vp his fete and wet toward the east countre.
2 Li rete konsa, li wè yon pi nan mitan savann lan. Te gen twa bann mouton ki te kouche bò pi a. Se nan pi sa a yo te konn pran dlo pou bay bèt yo bwè. Men te gen yon gwo wòch ki te bouche bouch pi a.
And as he loked aboute behold there was a well in the feld and. iij. flockes of shepe laye therby (for at that well were the flockes watered) and there laye a great stone at the well mouth
3 Lè tout bèt yo te sanble, gadò yo te met ansanm pou wete wòch la sou bouch pi a pou fè bèt yo bwè. Apre sa, yo tounen met kouvèti a sou bouch pi a ankò.
And the maner was to brynge the flockes thyther and to roull the stone fro the welles mouth and to water the shepe and to put the stone agayne vppon the wells mouth vnto his place.
4 Jakòb mande gadò mouton yo konsa: -Zanmi m' yo, moun ki bò nou ye? Yo reponn li: -Nou se moun Karan.
And Iacob sayde vnto the: brethern whece be ye? and they sayde: of Haran ar we.
5 Li di yo: -Eske nou konnen Laban, pitit Nakò a? Yo reponn li: -Men wi, nou konnen l'.
And he sayde vnto the: knowe ye Laban the sonne of Nahor. And they sayde: we knowe him.
6 Li mande yo: -Ban m' nouvèl li non. Li byen? Yo reponn li: -Li byen wi. Gade, men Rachèl, pitit fi li a, k'ap vini ak bann mouton li yo.
And he sayde vnto the: is he in good health? And they sayde: he is in good health: and boholde his doughter Rahel cometh with ye shepe.
7 Jakòb di yo: -Men, solèy la byen wo toujou, se poko lè pou nou antre mouton yo. Sak fè nou pa bay yo bwè, epi nou ta tounen mete yo nan manje?
And he sayde: lo it is yet a great whyle to nyghte nether is it tyme yt the catell shulde be gathered together: water the shepe and goo and fede the.
8 Yo reponn li: -Nou pa ka fè sa. Fòk nou tann tout bann mouton yo sanble. Atòkile, nou tout n'a met men ansanm pou n' woule wòch ki sou bouch pi a. Se lè sa a n'a bay mouton yo bwè.
And they sayde: we maye not vntill all ye flockes be brought together and the stone be roulled fro the wells mouth and so we water oure shepe.
9 Jakòb t'ap pale ak yo toujou lè Rachèl vin rive ak bann mouton papa l' yo. Se li menm ki te gade mouton l' yo pou li.
Whyle he yet talked with the Rahel came with hir fathers shepe for she kepte them.
10 Kou Jakòb wè Rachèl, pitit fi Laban, frè manman l' lan, avèk bann mouton Laban yo, li pwoche, li woule wòch ki te sou bouch pi a, li bay bann mouton Laban yo bwè.
As soone As Iacob sawe Rahel the doughter of Laban his mothers brother and the shepe of Laban his mothers brother he went and rowled the stone fro the wells mouth and watered the shepe of Laba his mothers brother
11 Lè l' fini, li bo Rachèl. Apre sa, li pran kriye.
And Iacob kyssed Rahel and lyfte vp his voyce and wepte:
12 Jakòb fè Rachèl konnen se ti fanmi Laban li ye, pitit Rebeka, sè Laban an. Rachèl kouri al di papa l' sa.
and tolde her also yt he was hir fathers brother and Rebeccas sonne. The Rahel ranne and tolde hir father.
13 Lè Laban tande se pitit sè li a, li kouri al jwenn li. Li pran l', li pase men nan kou l', li bo l', epi li mennen l' lakay li. Rive yo rive Jakòb rakonte l' tout sak te pase.
When Laban herd tell of Iacob his sisters sonne he ranne agaynst him and embraced hi and kyssed him ad broughte him in to his house. And the Iacob told Laba all ye matter
14 Lè sa a, Laban di l': -Aa wi, se ras mwen ou ye vre. Jakòb rete pase yon mwa lakay Laban.
And the Laba sayde: well thou art my bone and my flesh. Abyde with me the space of a moneth.
15 Laban mande Jakòb: -Ou se fanmi m', se vre. Men, sa pa vle di fòk ou sevi m' gratis pou sa. Di m' konbe pou m' peye ou?
And afterward Laban sayd vnto Iacob: though thou be my brother shuldest thou therfore serue me for nought? tell me what shall thi wages be?
16 Laban te gen de pitit fi. Pi gran an te rele Leya, pi piti a te rele Rachèl.
And Laban had. ij. doughters the eldest called Lea and the yongest Rahel.
17 Leya te gen je pichpich, men Rachèl te gen bèl fòm kò, li te bèl anpil.
Lea was tender eyed: But Rahel was bewtifull ad well fauored.
18 Jakòb te renmen Rachèl. Li reponn Laban: M'ap sèvi avè ou sèt lanne pou Rachèl, dezyèm pitit fi ou la.
And Iacob loued her well and sayde: I will serue the. vij. yere for Rahel thy yongest doughter.
19 Laban di l': Pito se ou menm mwen bay li pase m' bay yon lòt moun li. Ou mèt rete lakay mwen.
And Laban answered: it is better yt I geue her the than to another man? byde therfore with me.
20 Se konsa Jakòb pase sètan ap travay kay Laban pou l' te ka marye ak Rachèl. Sèt lanne yo te pase tankou dlo, paske li te renmen ti fi a.
And Iacob serued. vij. yeres for Rahel and they semed vnto him but a fewe dayes for the loue he had to her.
21 Lè lè a rive, Jakòb di Laban: -Bon. Li lè atò pou ou ban m' pitit fi ou la pou m' ka marye avè l'.
And Iacob sayde vnto Laban geue me my wife that I maye lye with hir for the tyme appoynted me is come.
22 Se konsa Laban fè yon gwo resepsyon nòs, li envite tout moun nan kanton an.
Than Laban bade all the men of that place and made a feast.
23 Men aswè, li te pran Leya, pitit fi li a, li mennen l' bay Jakòb ki kouche avè l'.
And when eue was come he toke Lea his doughter and broughte her to him and he went in vnto her.
24 Laban te pran Zilpa, yonn nan sèvant li yo, li bay Leya pou sèvant pa li.
And Laban gaue vnto his doughter Lea Zilpha his mayde to be hir seruaunte.
25 Nan denmen maten, Jakòb vin wè se Leya yo te ba li. Li di Laban: -Kisa ou fè m' konsa? Eske se pa pou Rachèl mwen te sèvi avèk ou? Poukisa ou ban m' koutba sa a?
And when the mornynge was come beholde it was Lea. Than sayde he to Laban: wherfore hast thou played thus with me? dyd not I serue the for Rahel wherfore than hast thou begyled me?
26 Laban di l': -Se pa koutim nou isit pou n' marye ti sè anvan gran sè.
Laban answered: it is not the maner of this place to marke the yongest before the eldest.
27 Tann senmenn lan fin pase. Lè sa a, n'a fin fete nòs la. Apre sa, m'a ba ou Rachèl, si ou dakò pou sèvi avè m' pandan sèt lòt lanne ankò.
Passe out this weke and tha shall this also be geuen the for ye seruyce which thou shalt serue me yet. vij. yeres more.
28 Jakòb tonbe dakò. Lè senmenn fèt la fin pase, Laban pran lòt pitit fi l' la, Rachèl, li bay Jakòb li pou madanm tou.
And Iacob dyd eue so and passed out that weke and than he gaue hi Rahel his doughter to wyfe also.
29 Laban pran Bila, yonn nan sèvant li yo, li bay Rachèl li pou sèvant li.
And Laban gaue to Rahel his doughter Bilha his handmayde to be hir servaute.
30 Jakòb kouche ak Rachèl. Li te renmen l' pi plis pase Leya. Li sèvi ak Laban pandan sèt lanne ankò.
So laye he by Rahel also and loued Rahel more than Lea and serued him yet. vij. yeres more.
31 Lè Seyè a wè jan Jakòb pa t' renmen Leya, li fè l' fè pitit. Men, Rachèl pa t' kapab fè pitit.
When the LORde sawe that Lea was despised he made her frutefull: but Rahel was baren.
32 Leya vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason, li di: -Seyè a wè jan m'ap soufri. Koulye a, mari m' va renmen m'. Se konsa li rele l' Woubenn.
And Lea conceaued and bare a sonne ad called his name Rube for she sayde: the LORde hath loked apon my tribulation. And now my husbonde will loue me.
33 Leya vin ansent ankò, li fè yon lòt gason. Li di: -Seyè a ban m' yon lòt gason ankò, paske li wè jan mari m' pa renmen m' menm. Se konsa li rele l' Simeyon.
And she conceaued agayne and bare a sonne and sayde: the LORde hath herde that I am despised ad hath therfore geuen me this sonne also and she called him Simeon.
34 Li vin ansent yon twazyèm fwa, li fè yon lòt pitit gason ankò. Li di: -Fwa sa a, mari m' pral rete avè m' nèt paske mwen fè twa pitit gason pou li. Se konsa li rele l' Levi.
And she conceaued yet and bare a sonne ad sayde: now this once will my husbonde kepe me company because I haue borne him. iij. sonnes: and therfore she called his name Levi.
35 Apre sa, li vin ansent ankò, li fè yon lòt pitit gason. Li di: -Fwa sa a, m'ap fè lwanj Seyè a. Se konsa li rele l' Jida. Apre sa, Leya sispann fè pitit.
And she conceaued yet agayne and bare a sonne saynge? Now will I prayse the LORde: therfore she called his name Iuda and left bearynge.
