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.

Now he heard the words of Labans sonnes, saying, Iaakob hath taken away all that was our fathers, and of our fathers goods hath he gotten all this honour.

2 Jakòb vin wè tout Laban pa t' ba li menm karaktè li te konn ba li anvan an.

Also Iaakob beheld the countenance of Laban, that it was not towards him as in times past:

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 had said vnto Iaakob, Turne againe into the lande of thy fathers, and to thy kinred, and I wilbe 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.

Therefore Iaakob sent and called Rahel and Leah to the fielde vnto his flocke.

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'.

Then sayde hee vnto them, I see your fathers countenance, that it is not towardes me as it was wont, and the God of my father hath bene with me.

6 Nou tout de nou konnen jan mwen te sèvi ak papa nou ak tout kouraj mwen.

And yee knowe that I haue serued your father with all my might.

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 hath deceiued me, and changed my wages tenne times: but God suffred him not 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 thus sayd, The spotted shall be thy wages, then all the sheepe bare spotted: and if he sayd thus, the party coloured shalbe thy rewarde, then bare all the sheepe particoloured.

9 Se Bondye menm ki pran bann bèt papa nou yo, li ban mwen yo.

Thus hath God taken away your fathers substance, and giuen it 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.

For in ramming time I lifted vp mine eyes and saw in a dreame, and beholde, ye hee goates leaped vpon the shee goates, that were partie coloured with litle and great spots spotted.

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 sayde to mee in a dreame, Iaakob. And I answered, Lo, I am here.

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 sayde, Lift vp nowe thine eyes, and see all the hee goates leaping vpon ye shee goates that are partie coloured, spotted with litle and great spots: for I haue seene all that Laban doeth vnto 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 the God of Beth-el, where thou anoyntedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vowe vnto me. Nowe arise, get thee out of this countrey and returne vnto ye land where thou wast borne.

14 Rachèl ak Leya reponn Jakòb: -Nou pa gen anyen ankò pou n' eritye nan men papa nou.

Then answered Rahel and Leah, and sayde vnto him, Haue wee any more porcion and inheritance in our fathers house?

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.

Doeth not he count vs as strangers? for he hath solde vs, and hath eaten vp and consumed 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.

Therefore all the riches, which God hath taken from our father, is ours and our childrens: nowe then whatsoeuer God hath saide vnto thee, doe it.

17 Lè sa a, Jakòb leve, li mete pitit li yo ansanm ak madanm li yo sou chamo.

Then Iaakob rose vp, and set his sonnes and his wiues vpon 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 caried away all his flockes, and al his substance which he had gotten, to wit, his riches, which he had gotten in Padan Aram, to goe to Izhak his father vnto the land of Canaan.

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.

Whe Laban was gone to shere his sheepe, Then Rahel stole her fathers idoles.

20 Se konsa Jakòb twonpe Laban, moun lavil Aram lan, li pati san l' pa di l' sa.

Thus Iaakob stole away ye heart of Laban the Aramite: for he told him not that he fled.

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.

So fled he with all that he had, and he rose vp, and passed the riuer, and set his face towarde mount Gilead.

22 Twa jou apre, Laban pran nouvèl Jakòb te pati.

And the third day after was it told Laban, that Iaakob fled.

23 Msye pran moun pa li yo avè l', li pati dèyè Jakòb. Apre sèt jou, li jwenn li sou mòn Galarad.

Then he tooke his brethren with him, and followed after him seuen dayes iourney, and ouertooke him at mount Gilead.

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 Aramite in a dreame by night, and sayde vnto him, Take heede that thou speake not to Iaakob ought saue good.

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.

Then Laban ouertooke Iaakob, and Iaakob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban also with his brethren pitched vpon mount Gilead.

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.

Then Laban sayde to Iaakob, What hast thou done? thou hast euen stolen away mine heart and caried away my daughters as though they had bene taken captiues with the sworde.

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.

Wherfore diddest thou flie so secretly and steale away from me, and diddest not tel me, that I might haue sent thee foorth with mirth and with songs, with timbrel and with harpe?

28 Ou pa menm kite m' bo pitit pitit mwen yo ak pitit fi m' yo. Ou aji tankou moun fou, monchè!

But thou hast not suffered me to kisse my sonnes and my daughters: nowe thou hast done foolishly in doing so.

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.

I am able to do you euill: but the God of your father spake vnto me yesternight, saying, Take heed that thou speake not to Iaakob ought saue good.

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?

Nowe though thou wentest thy way, because thou greatly longedst after thy fathers house, yet wherefore hast thou stollen 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.

Then Iaakob answered, and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, and thought that thou wouldest haue taken thy daughters from me.

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.

But with whome thou findest thy gods, let him not liue. Search thou before our brethre what I haue of thine, and take it to thee, (but Iaakob wist not that Rahel 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.

Then came Laban into Iaakobs tent, and into Leahs tent, and into the two maides tentes, but founde them not. So hee went out of Leahs tent, and entred into Rahels tent.

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.

(Nowe Rahel had taken the idoles, and put them in the camels litter and sate downe vpon them) and Laban searched al the tent, but found them not.

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.

Then said she to her father, My Lord, be not angrie that I cannot rise vp before thee: for the custome of women is vpon me: so he searched, but found not the idoles.

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?

The Iaakob was wroth, and chode with Laban: Iaakob also answered and sayd to Laban, What haue I trespassed? what haue I offended, 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!

Seeing thou hast searched all my stuffe, what hast thou foud of all thine houshold stuffe? put it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may iudge betweene vs both.

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.

This twenty yere I haue bin with thee: thine ewes and thy goates haue not cast their yong, and the rammes of thy flocke haue I not eaten.

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.

Whatsoeuer was torne of beasts, I brought it not vnto thee, but made it good my selfe: of mine hand diddest thou require it, were it stollen by day or stollen by night.

40 Lajounen, chalè te fini avè m'. Lannwit, se te fredi, mwen pa t' kapab dòmi.

I was in the day consumed with heate, and with frost in the night, and my sleepe departed from mine 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'.

Thus haue I bene twentie yeere in thine house, and serued thee fourteene yeeres for thy two daughters, and sixe yeeres for thy sheepe, and thou hast changed my wages tenne times.

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.

Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the feare of Izhak had bene with me, surely thou haddest sent me away nowe emptie: but God behelde my tribulation, and the labour of mine hads, and rebuked thee yester night.

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?

Then Laban answered, and saide vnto Iaakob, These daughters are my daughters, and these sonnes are my sonnes, and these sheepe are my sheepe, and all that thou seest, is mine, and what can I doe this day vnto these my daughters, or to their sonnes which they haue borne?

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.

Nowe therefore come and let vs make a couenant, I and thou, which may be a witnes betweene me and thee.

45 Jakòb pran yon gwo wòch, li plante l' nan tè a, li fè l' rete kanpe tankou yon bòn.

Then tooke Iaakob a stone, and set it vp as 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 Iaakob sayde vnto his brethren, Gather stones: who brought stones, and made an heape, and they did eate there vpon the heape.

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 Iegar-sahadutha, and Iaakob called it Galeed.

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.

For Laban sayd, This heape is witnesse betweene me and thee this day: therefore he called the name of it Galeed.

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.

Also he called it Mizpah, because he said, The Lord looke betweene me and thee, when we shalbe departed one from another,

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 vexe my daughters, or shalt take wiues beside my daughters: there is no man with vs, beholde, God is witnesse betweene me and thee.

51 Laban di Jakòb ankò: -Men pil wòch mwen mete pou separe nou an. Men bòn ou plante a la.

Moreouer Laban sayd to Iaakob, Beholde this heape, and behold the pillar, which I haue set betweene me and thee,

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'.

This heape shall be witnesse, and the pillar shall be witnesse, that I will not come ouer this heape to thee, and that thou shalt not passe ouer this heape and this pillar vnto me for euill.

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 Abraham, and the God of Nabor, and the God of their father be iudge betweene vs: But Iaakob sware by the feare of his father Izhak.

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.

Then Iaakob did offer a sacrifice vpon the mount, and called his brethren to eate bread. and they did eate bread, and taried all night in the mount.

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 earely in the morning Laban rose vp and kissed his sonnes and his daughters, and blessed them, and Laban departing, went vnto his place againe.
