Jenèz 31
1 Jakòb vin konnen jan pitit gason Laban yo t'ap di: -Jakòb fin pran tou sa ki te pou papa nou. Se byen papa nou li fin ranmase kifè li rich konsa.
And Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and of our father's property has he gotten all this glory.
2 Jakòb vin wè tout Laban pa t' ba li menm karaktè li te konn ba li anvan an.
And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold it was not toward him as before.
3 Lè sa a, Seyè a di l': -Tounen nan peyi kote ou te fèt la, al jwenn fanmi ou. M'ap toujou la avè ou.
And the Lord said to Jacob, Return to the land of thy father, and to thy family, and I will be with thee.
4 Se konsa Jakòb fè chache Rachèl ak Leya. Li voye di yo rive kote l' nan savann kote bèt li yo ye a.
And Jacob sent and called Lea and Rachel to the plain where the flocks were.
5 Li di yo: -Mwen wè karaktè papa nou pa menm jan avè m' ankò. Li chanje anpil, men Bondye papa m' lan toujou avè m'.
And he said to them, I see the face of your father, that it is not toward me as before, but the God of my father was with me.
6 Nou tout de nou konnen jan mwen te sèvi ak papa nou ak tout kouraj mwen.
And ye too know that with all my might I have served your father.
7 Men li menm, li toujou ap twonpe mwen. Li chanje lide dis fwa lè lè a rive pou li peye m'. Men, Bondye pa janm kite l' fè m' anyen.
But your father deceived me, and changed my wages for the ten lambs, yet God gave him not [power] to hurt me.
8 Lè Laban di: ou mèt pran tout kabrit takte yo pou ou, tout bann bèt yo tonbe fè pitit takte. Lè li di: m'ap ba ou tout kabrit ki gen re sou tout kò yo, tout bann bèt yo tonbe fè pitit ak re sou tout kò yo.
If he should say thus, The speckled shall be thy reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be thy reward, then would all the cattle bear white.
9 Se Bondye menm ki pran bann bèt papa nou yo, li ban mwen yo.
So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
10 Lè bèt yo mande kwaze, mwen fè yon rèv, mwen wè tout bouk ki t'ap kwaze yo se bouk ki takte, ki pentle ak sa ki gen re sou tout kò yo.
And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I beheld with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots.
11 Zanj Bondye a pale avè m' nan rèv la, li di m': Jakòb. Mwen reponn li: Men mwen wi.
And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it?
12 Li di m' ankò: Leve je ou gade: tout bouk k'ap vole fenmèl yo se bouk ki takte ak sa ki gen re sou tout kò yo. Se mwen menm k'ap fè sa konsa, paske mwen wè tout sa Laban ap fè ou.
And he said, Look up with thine eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to thee.
13 Mwen se Bondye ki te parèt devan ou lè ou te Betèl, kote ou te mete gwo wòch la apa pou mwen an. Ou chonje, lè sa a, ou te fè yon pwomès ban mwen. Koulye a, leve, kite peyi sa a. Tounen nan peyi kote ou te fèt la.
I am God that appeared to thee in the place of God where thou anointedst a pillar to me, and vowedst to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of thy nativity, and I will be with thee.
14 Rachèl ak Leya reponn Jakòb: -Nou pa gen anyen ankò pou n' eritye nan men papa nou.
And Rachel and Lea answered and said to him, Have we yet a part or inheritance in the house of our father?
15 Eske li pa konsidere nou tankou etranje? Li vann nou. Koulye a, li fin manje tout lajan yo te ba li pou nou an.
Are we not considered strangers by him? for he has sold us, and quite devoured our money.
16 Tout richès Bondye wete nan men papa nou an, se pou nou ansanm ak pitit nou yo. Koulye a, se pou ou fè tout sa Bondye di ou fè.
All the wealth and the glory which God has taken from our father, it shall be our's and our children's; now then do whatsoever God has said to thee.
17 Lè sa a, Jakòb leve, li mete pitit li yo ansanm ak madanm li yo sou chamo.
And Jacob arose and took his wives and his children up on the camels;
18 Li pran tout bèt li yo ansanm ak tout sa li te rive genyen pandan li te Mezopotami an, li mennen yo ale. Li pati, li al jwenn papa l', Izarak, nan peyi Kanaran.
and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Chanaan.
19 Lè sa a, Laban t al taye lenn mouton l' yo. Pandan li pa t' la, Rachèl vòlè ti zidòl kay papa l' yo.
And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole her father's images.
20 Se konsa Jakòb twonpe Laban, moun lavil Aram lan, li pati san l' pa di l' sa.
And Jacob hid [the matter from] Laban the Syrian, so as not to tell him that he ran away.
21 Li pran tout sa li te genyen, li mete deyò, li ale, li travèse larivyè Lefrat, li pran chemen pou li al sou mòn Galarad.
And he departed himself and all that belonged to him, and passed over the river, and went into the mountain Galaad.
22 Twa jou apre, Laban pran nouvèl Jakòb te pati.
But it was told Laban the Syrian on the third day, that Jacob was fled.
23 Msye pran moun pa li yo avè l', li pati dèyè Jakòb. Apre sèt jou, li jwenn li sou mòn Galarad.
And having taken his brethren with him, he pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on Mount Galaad.
24 Men, pandan lannwit, Bondye parèt devan Laban, moun lavil Aram lan, nan yon rèv, li di l': -Piga ou di Jakòb anyen ni an byen, ni an mal.
And God came to Laban the Syrian in sleep by night, and said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not at any time to Jacob evil things.
25 Se konsa, Laban jwenn Jakòb ki te moute tant li sou mòn lan. Laban te moute tant li tout sou mòn Galarad pou li menm ansanm ak moun pa l' yo.
And Laban overtook Jacob; and Jacob pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban stationed his brothers in the mount Galaad.
26 Laban di Jakòb: -Kisa ou fè konsa? Ou twonpe m', ou pran pitit fi mwen yo, ou mennen yo ale tankou prizonye ou fè nan lagè.
And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done? wherefore didst thou run away secretly, and pillage me, and lead away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?
27 Poukisa ou twonpe m', ou leve ou pati an kachèt san ou pa avèti m'? Si ou te di m' sa, nou ta fè fèt, nou ta chante, nou ta bat tanbou, nou ta jwe gita anvan nou voye ou ale.
Whereas if thou hadst told me, I would have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, and timbrels, and harp.
28 Ou pa menm kite m' bo pitit pitit mwen yo ak pitit fi m' yo. Ou aji tankou moun fou, monchè!
And I was not counted worthy to embrace my children and my daughters; now then thou hast wrought foolishly.
29 Mwen gen kont pouvwa anba men m' pou m' ta regle ou. Men yè swa, pandan lannwit lan Bondye papa ou la di m': Piga ou di Jakòb anyen ni an byen, ni an mal.
And now my hand has power to hurt thee; but the God of thy father spoke to me yesterday, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not evil words to Jacob.
30 Mwen konnen ou pati paske se pa ti anvi ou pa te anvi tounen lakay papa ou. Men, sa ou te bezwen vòlè ti zidòl kay mwen yo fè?
Now then go on thy way, for thou hast earnestly desired to depart to the house of thy father; wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
31 Jakòb reponn Laban, li di l': -Mwen te pè, paske mwen te kwè ou ta ka reprann pitit fi ou yo nan menm.
And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time thou shouldest take away thy daughters from me, and all my possessions.
32 Men, kanta pou ti zidòl kay ou yo, si ou jwenn yo nan men yon moun isit la, se pou moun sa a mouri. Men, mwen pran tout moun sa yo pou temwen, si ou jwenn yon bagay lakay mwen ki pou ou, pran l' pote l' ale. Jakòb pa t' konnen Rachèl te vòlè ti zidòl kay yo.
And Jacob said, With whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, he shall not live in the presence of our brethren; take notice of what I have of thy property, and take it; and he observed nothing with him, but Jacob knew not that his wife Rachel had stolen them.
33 Laban antre anba tant Jakòb la, li chache, li ale anba tant Leya a, apre sa anba tant de sèvant yo, li pa jwenn anyen. Li soti anba tant Leya a, li antre anba tant Rachèl. la.
And Laban went in and searched in the house of Lea, and found [them] not; and he went out of the house of Lea, and searched in the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maid-servants, and found them not; and he went also into the house of Rachel.
34 Rachèl menm te pran ti zidòl kay yo, li te mete yo anba aparèy chamo a, epi li chita sou yo. Laban menm chache tout anba tant lan, li pa jwenn anyen.
And Rachel took the idols, and cast them among the camel's packs, and sat upon them.
35 Rachèl di papa l' konsa: -Si ou wè mwen pa ka leve kanpe devan ou, ou pa bezwen fache non. Se lalen mwen mwen genyen. Se konsa Laban fouye toupatou, li pa jwenn ti zidòl kay li yo.
And she said to her father, Be not indignant, Sir; I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me according to the manner of women. Laban searched in all the house, and found not the images.
36 Lè sa a, Jakòb move sou Laban. Li pete yon kabouyay ak li, li di l': -Ki krim mwen fè? Kisa m' fè ki mal pou w'ap pousib mwen konsa?
And Jacob was angry, and strove with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my injustice, and what my sin, that thou hast pursued after me,
37 Ou fin fouye tout zafè m' yo. Kisa ou jwenn ki pou ou? Mete l' la devan moun pa ou yo ak moun pa m' yo, pou yo ka di ki moun ki gen rezon!
and that thou hast searched all the furniture of my house? what hast thou found of all the furniture of thine house? set it here between thy relations and my relations, and let them decide between us two.
38 Sa fè ventan depi m avè ou. Mouton ou yo ak kabrit ou yo pa janm manke fè pitit. Mwen pa janm manje yon ti bouk nan bèt ou yo.
These twenty years have I been with thee; thy sheep, and thy she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of thy cattle.
39 Lè bèt nan bwa touye yon mouton, mwen pa janm pote l' ba ou. Mwen te pran pèt la sou kont mwen. Ou te rann mwen reskonsab tout bèt yo vòlè, kit se lannwit, kit se lajounen.
That which was taken of beasts I brought not to thee; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night.
40 Lajounen, chalè te fini avè m'. Lannwit, se te fredi, mwen pa t' kapab dòmi.
I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.
41 Se konsa sa te ye pandan tout ventan mwen pase lakay ou yo. Mwen travay pandan katòzan pou de pitit fi ou yo. Apre sa, mwen fè sizan ankò ap travay pou bann bèt ou yo. Atousa, ou jwenn mwayen chanje pawòl dis fwa lè lè a rive pou ou peye m'.
These twenty years have I been in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years among thy sheep, and thou didst falsely rate my wages for ten lambs.
42 Si Bondye papa m' lan, Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Izarak respekte a, pa t' la avèk mwen, koulye a ou ta voye m' ale yon men devan yon men dèyè. Men Bondye wè tout traka mwen bay tèt mwen, li wè travay mwen fè, se konsa yè swa li rann jijman li.
Unless I had the God of my father Abraam, and the fear of Isaac, now thou wouldest have sent me away empty; God saw my humiliation, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.
43 Laban reponn Jakòb: -Fi sa yo se pitit mwen yo ye. Timoun sa yo, se pa m' yo ye. Bann bèt sa yo se pou mwen yo ye. tout sa ou wè la a, se pou mwen yo ye. Bon, kisa m' ka fè koulye a pou pitit fi mwen yo ak pou pitit pitit mwen yo?
And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the cattle are my cattle, and all things which thou seest are mine, and [the property] of my daughters; what shall I do to them to-day, or their children which they bore?
44 Vini non. Annou pase yon kontra, mwen menm avè ou. Ann kite yon mak ki va sèvi pou fè nou toujou chonje kontra a.
Now then come, let me make a covenant, both I and thou, and it shall be for a witness between me and thee; and he said to him, Behold, there is no one with us; behold, God is witness between me and thee.
45 Jakòb pran yon gwo wòch, li plante l' nan tè a, li fè l' rete kanpe tankou yon bòn.
And Jacob having taken a stone, set it up for a pillar.
46 Epi, li di moun li yo: -Ranmase wòch. Mesye yo ranmase wòch, yo anpile yo fè yon gwo pil. Apre sa, yo chita bò pil wòch la, yo manje.
And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they gathered stones and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap; and Laban said to him, This heap witnesses between me and thee to-day.
47 Laban rele pil wòch la Jega Saadouta nan lang pa l', men Jakòb te rele l' nan lang pa l' Galèd.
And Laban called it, the Heap of Testimony; and Jacob called it, the Witness Heap.
48 Laban di: -Pil wòch sa a va sèvi pou fè nou tout de toujou chonje kontra a. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Galèd.
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and the pillar, which I have set between me and thee; this heap witnesses, and this pillar witnesses; therefore its name was called, the Heap witnesses.
49 Laban di ankò: -Se pou Bondye voye je sou nou tout de lè nou fin separe. Se konsa yo rele kote sa a Mispa.
And the vision of which he said—Let God look to it between me and thee, because we are about to depart from each other, —
50 Laban pale ankò, li di: -Si ou maltrete pitit fi mwen yo, si ou pran lòt fanm ankò sou yo, konnen ou p'ap annafè ak yon moun tankou nou tande. Atansyon, men se ak Bondye menm, ki temwen sa nou sot fè a, w'ap annafè.
If thou shalt humble my daughters, if thou shouldest take wives in addition to my daughters, see, there is no one with us looking on. God [is] witness between me and thee.
51 Laban di Jakòb ankò: -Men pil wòch mwen mete pou separe nou an. Men bòn ou plante a la.
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold, this heap, and this pillar are a witness.
52 Ni pil wòch yo ni bòn lan ap sèvi yon mak. Mwen pa gen dwa depase l' pou m' vin atake ou, ni ou pa gen dwa depase l' pou ou vin atake m'.
For if I should not cross over unto thee, neither shouldest thou cross over to me, for mischief beyond this heap and this pillar.
53 Se pou Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Nakò a, Bondye papa yo a, mete rezon nan mitan nou. Lè sa a, Jakòb sèmante nan non Bondye Izarak, papa l' respekte a.
The God of Abraam and the God of Nachor judge between us; and Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
54 Apre sa, li touye yon bèt, li ofri l' bay Bondye sou mòn lan, epi li envite moun pa l' yo vin manje. Lè yo fin manje, yo pase nwit la sou mòn lan.
And he offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren, and they ate and drank, and slept in the mountain.
55 Nan denmen maten byen bonè, Laban leve, li bo pitit pitit li yo ak pitit fi li yo. Li beni yo. Apre sa, li pati, li tounen lakay li.
And Laban rose up in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban having turned back, departed to his place.
