Jenèz 37
1 Men Jakòb rete rete l' nan peyi Kanaran kote papa l' te pase tout lavi l'.
Iaakob nowe dwelt in the lande, wherein his father was a stranger, in the lande of Canaan.
2 Men istwa fanmi Jakòb la. Jozèf te yon jenn gason disètan. Li t'ap gade mouton ak kabrit ansanm ak frè l' yo, pitit gason Bila ak Zilpa, fanm kay papa l' yo. Li te konn rapòte bay papa l' tout vye bagay yo t'ap fè.
These are the generations of Iaakob, when Ioseph was seuenteene yeere olde: he kept sheepe with his brethren, and the childe was with the sonnes of Bilhah, and with the sonnes of Zilpah, his fathers wiues. And Ioseph brought vnto their father their euill saying.
3 Izrayèl menm te renmen Jozèf plis pase tout lòt pitit li yo, paske li te fin granmoun lè Jozèf te fèt. Li fè yon bèl varèz long ak manch pou li.
Nowe Israel loued Ioseph more then all his sonnes, because he begate him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 Lè frè l' yo wè jan papa yo te renmen Jozèf plis pase yo, yo pran rayi l'. Yo pa t' louvri bouch avè l' san yo pa joure l'.
So when his brethren sawe that their father loued him more then all his brethren, then they hated him, and could not speake peaceably vnto him.
5 Yon jou, Jozèf fè yon rèv. Li rakonte l' bay frè li yo. Sa te fè yo rayi l' pi plis toujou.
And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
6 Li di yo: -Mesye, tande yon rèv mwen fè.
For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
7 Mwen wè nou tout nou te nan jaden, chak moun t'ap mare yon pakèt zèb. Pakèt mwen an rete konsa li kanpe tout dwat pou kont li, epi tout pakèt pa nou yo fè wonn li, yo vin bese tèt devan pa m' lan tankou moun y'ap salwe.
Beholde nowe, wee were binding sheues in the middes of the field: and loe, my shefe arose and also stoode vpright, and behold, your sheues compassed rounde about, and did reuerence to my shefe.
8 Frè l' yo di l': -Anhan! Ou vle di ou pral chèf nou, ou pral kòmande nou! Yo te vin rayi l' pi plis toujou poutèt rèv li te di yo li fè a.
Then his brethren saide to him, What, shalt thou reigne ouer vs, and rule vs? or shalt thou haue altogether dominion ouer vs? And they hated him so much the more, for his dreames, and for his wordes.
9 Apre sa, Jozèf fè yon lòt rèv ankò. Li rakonte l' bay frè li yo. Li di yo: -Mwen fè yon lòt rèv. Mwen wè solèy la, lalen lan ansanm ak onz zetwal ki t'ap bese tèt devan mwen.
Againe hee dreamed an other dreame, and tolde it his brethren, and saide, Behold, I haue had one dreame more, and beholde, the Sunne and the Moone and eleuen starres did reuerence to me.
10 Li rakonte rèv la bay papa l' ansanm ak frè l' yo. Men papa a t'ap rale zòrèy li, li t'ap di l': -Ki kalite rèv w'ap fè konsa a? Koulye a, se pou mwen menm, manman ou ansanm ak onz frè ou yo, pou nou vin bese tèt devan ou?
Then he tolde it vnto his father and to his brethren, and his father rebuked him, and saide vnto him, What is this dreame, which thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren come in deede and fall on the ground before thee?
11 Frè Jozèf yo t'ap fè jalouzi, men papa l' t'ap kalkile tout bagay sa yo nan tèt li.
And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.
12 Frè Jozèf yo leve, y ale jouk Sichèm ak bann bèt papa yo pou fè yo manje.
Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.
13 Izrayèl rele Jozèf, li di l' konsa: -Frè ou yo mennen bèt yo jouk Sichèm al manje. Vini non, m'ap voye ou bò kote yo pou mwen. Jozèf reponn: -Men mwen wi, papa.
And Israel said vnto Ioseph, Doe not thy brethren keepe in Shechem? come and I will send thee to them.
14 Izrayèl di l' konsa: -Tanpri, ale we kouman frè ou yo ak bèt yo ye laba a. Apre sa, tounen vin pote nouvèl yo ban mwen. Konsa, se papa l' menm ki te fè l' pati kite Fon Ebwon an. Lè Jozèf rive Sichèm,
And he answered him, I am here. Then he saide vnto him, Goe now, see whether it bee well with thy brethren, and how the flocks prosper, and bring me word againe. so hee sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 li pèdi wout li nan savann lan, li kontre ak yon nonm ki mande l': -Kisa w'ap chache konsa?
Then a man found him: for lo, hee was wandring in the fielde, and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 Jozèf reponn li: -M'ap chache frè m' yo. Tanpri, di m' ki kote yo mennen bèt yo al manje.
And he answered, I seeke my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they keepe sheepe.
17 Nonm lan di l': -Yo te isit la wi, men yo pati deja. Mwen tande yo t'ap di yo pral Dotan. Jozèf pati dèyè frè l' yo, li jwenn yo Dotan.
And the man said, they are departed hece: for I heard them say, Let vs goe vnto Dothan. Then went Ioseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18 Men, anvan Jozèf te rive, yo te gen tan wè l' byen lwen ap vini. Yo fè konplo pou yo touye l'.
And when they sawe him a farre off, euen before he came at them, they conspired against him for to slay him.
19 Yonn di lòt: -Men nonm ki renmen fè rèv la ap vini.
For they sayd one to another, Behold, this dreamer commeth.
20 Annou wè. N'ap touye l', n'ap jete kadav la nan yonn nan pi yo. Epi n'a di se bèt nan bwa ki touye l'. Konsa n'a wè si sa l' te wè nan rèv li yo va rive vre.
Come now therefore, and let vs slay him, and cast him into some pitte, and wee will say, A wicked beast hath deuoured him: then wee shall see, what will come of his dreames.
21 Woubenn t'ap koute yo, li t'ap chache yon jan pou sove Jozèf anba men yo. Li di yo: -Piga nou touye l'.
But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him.
22 Pa fè san koule. Ann voye l' jete nan pi sa a ki nan dezè a. Men, pa leve men sou li. Li t'ap di yo sa paske li te fè lide sove l' anba men yo pou l' te voye l' tounen bay papa l'.
Also Reuben saide vnto them, Shed not blood, but cast him into this pitte that is in the wildernesse, and lay no hande vpon him. Thus he said, that he might deliuer him out of their hand, and restore him to his father againe.
23 Lè Jozèf rive bò kote frè l' yo, yo wete bèl varèz long ak manch ki te sou li a.
Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him.
24 Yo pran l', yo jete l' nan pi a. Pi a te vid, li pa t' gen dlo.
And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
25 Apre sa, yo chita pou yo manje. Pandan yo leve je yo, konsa yo wè yon kolonn moun Izmayèl ki t'ap vwayaje. Yo te soti Galarad. Chamo yo te chaje ak gonm bwa, lansan ak lami yo t'ap pote al vann nan peyi Lejip.
Then they sate them downe to eate bread: and they lift vp their eyes and looked, and behold, there came a companie of Ishmeelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicerie, and balme, and myrrhe, and were going to cary it downe into Egypt.
26 Jida di frè l' yo konsa: -Sa sa ap rapòte nou pou nou touye frè nou an epi apre sa pou nou kache sa?
Then Iudah said vnto his brethren, What auaileth it, if we slay our brother, though wee keepe his blood secret?
27 Annou vann li ak moun Izmayèl yo. Konsa nou p'ap bezwen leve men nou sou li. Apre tou, se frè nou li ye, se menm san ak nou. Frè l' yo tonbe dakò.
Come and let vs sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our handes be vpon him: for he is our brother and our flesh: and his brethren obeyed.
28 Lè machann Madyan yo vin ap pase, yo rale Jozèf moute sot nan pi a. Yo vann li ak moun Izmayèl yo pou vin pyès lajan. Moun Izmayèl yo menm mennen l' nan peyi Lejip.
Then the Midianites marchant men passed by, and they drewe foorth, and lift Ioseph out of the pit, and solde Ioseph vnto the Ishmeelites for twentie pieces of siluer: who brought Ioseph into Egypt.
29 Lè Woubenn tounen nan pi a, li pa jwenn Jozèf ladan l'. Sa te fè l' lapenn anpil. Li chire rad ki te sou li a.
Afterwarde Reuben returned to the pit, and beholde, Ioseph was not in the pit: then he rent his clothes,
30 Li tounen al jwenn frè li yo, li di yo: -Ti gason an pa nan pi a non! Kisa m' pral fè koulye a?
And returned to his brethren, and said, The childe is not yonder, and I, whither shall I goe?
31 Yo touye yon bouk kabrit, yo pran bèl varèz Jozèf la, yo tranpe l' nan san an.
And they tooke Iosephs coate, and killed a kidde of the goates, and dipped the coate in the blood.
32 Yo voye varèz la bay papa yo ak komisyon sa a: -Men sa nou jwenn. Gade wè si se pa varèz pitit gason ou lan.
So they sent that particoloured coat, and they brought it vnto their father, and saide, This haue we founde: see nowe, whether it be thy sonnes coate, or no.
33 Jakòb rekonèt rad la, li di: -Men wi, se varèz pitit gason m' lan. Se yon bèt nan bwa ki devore l'. Bèt la dechèpiye l' nèt.
Then he knewe it and said, It is my sonnes coate: a wicked beast hath deuoured him: Ioseph is surely torne in pieces.
34 Sa ou tande a, yon sèl lapenn pran Jakòb, li chire rad ki te sou li, li mare yon tanga sak nan ren li. Li pase kèk tan ap kriye pou pitit gason l' lan.
And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.
35 tout lòt gason l' yo ansanm ak pitit fi l' yo te vin ba l' kouraj, men li te refize tande sa yo t'ap di l'. Li t'ap plede repete: -M'ap kriye pou pitit gason m' lan jouk m al jwenn li lè m'a mouri. Se konsa li t'ap kriye pou pitit gason l' lan. (Sheol h7585)
Then all his sonnes and all his daughters rose vp to comfort him, but he woulde not be comforted, but said, Surely I will go downe into the graue vnto my sonne mourning: so his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Pandan tout tan sa a, moun Madyan yo te gen tan vann Jozèf nan peyi Lejip ak Potifa, yonn nan chèf lame farawon an. Se li menm ki te kòmandan gad palè yo.
And the Midianites solde him into Egypt vnto Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs, and his chiefe stewarde.
