Jenèz 42
1 Lè Jakòb vin konnen te gen ble pou vann nan peyi Lejip, li di pitit li yo: -Poukisa nou chita konsa yonn ap gade lòt, de bra kwaze?
Then Iaakob saw that there was foode in Egypt, and Iaakob said vnto his sonnes, Why gaze ye one vpon an other?
2 Mwen tande y'ap vann ble nan peyi Lejip. Desann non, al achte ble pou nou ka viv pou nou pa mouri grangou.
And he said, Behold, I haue heard that there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, and bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and not die.
3 Se konsa, dis nan frè Jozèf yo desann nan peyi Lejip, y al achte ble.
So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.
4 Men Jakòb pa t' voye Benjamen, lòt frè Jozèf menm manman avè l' la, avèk yo paske li te pè pou malè pa t' rive l'.
But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
5 Grangou a te rèd nan peyi Kanaran an tou. Se konsa, pitit Izrayèl yo te vwayaje ansanm ak lòt moun ki tapral achte ble tou.
And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
6 Se Jozèf ki t'ap gouvènen sou tout peyi Lejip la. Se nan men l' moun te konn soti toupatou vin achte manje. Frè Jozèf yo rive, yo bese tèt yo byen ba jouk atè pou di l' bonjou.
Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land, who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, and bowed their face to the groud before him.
7 Lè Jozèf wè frè l' yo, li rekonèt yo. Men li pran pòz pa konnen yo. Li pale rèd ak yo. Li di: -Ki bò nou soti? Yo reponn: -Nou soti peyi Kanaran, nou vin achte manje.
And when Ioseph sawe his brethren, hee knewe them, and made himselfe straunge toward them, and spake to them roughly, and saide vnto them, Whence come yee? Who answered, Out of the land of Canaan, to bye vitaile.
8 Jozèf te rekonèt frè l' yo, men yo menm yo pa t' rekonèt li.
(Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.
9 Le sa a Jozèf vin chonje rèv li te fè sou frè l' yo. Li di yo: -Nou se yon bann espyon. Nou vin isit la pou n' chache konnen pwen fèb peyi a.
And Ioseph remembred the dreames, which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the weaknesse of the land.
10 Yo reponn li: -Non, mèt. Nou se moun pa ou, se manje nou vin achte isit la.
But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.
11 Nou tout nou se pitit yon sèl papa. Nou p'ap ba ou manti, se pa espyon nou ye.
Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.
12 Jozèf di yo: -Se pa vre. Nou vin isit la pou n' chache konnen pwen fèb peyi a.
But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.
13 Yo di l': -Nou se douz frè, pitit yon sèl papa nan peyi Kanaran. Dènye a rete ak papa nou. Gen yonn nan nou ki disparèt.
And they said, We thy seruants are twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14 Jozèf reponn yo: -Nou wè mwen gen rezon lè m' di se yon bann espyon nou ye.
Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
15 Men ki bò mwen pral kenbe nou: M'ap fè sèman sou tèt farawon an, nou p'ap soti isit la tout tan nou pa fè ti frè nou an vini isit la.
Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.
16 Voye yonn nan nou al chache l'. Lòt yo ap rete nan prizon. Se konsa, m'a wè nou pa t'ap bay manti. Si se pa sa, mwen fè sèman sou tèt farawon an, se espyon nou ye.
Send one of you which may fet your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proued, whether there bee trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh ye are but spies.
17 Li fè fèmen yo tout nan prizon pandan twa jou.
So he put them in warde three dayes.
18 Sou twazyèm jou a, Jozèf di yo: -Men sa pou n' fè, si nou vle sove lavi nou: Mwen menm mwen se moun ki respekte Bondye.
Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.
19 Si nou konnen nou p'ap bay manti se pou yonn nan nou rete fèmen nan prizon kote yo te fèmen nou an. Lòt yo mèt pote ble a ale pou fanmi nou yo ka manje.
If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bounde in your prison house, and goe ye, carie foode for the famine of your houses:
20 Men, ti frè nou an, sa ki pi piti a, se pou nou mennen l' ban mwen, pou nou ka moutre m' nou pa t' ban m' manti. Konsa, yo p'ap touye nou. Yo tonbe dakò sou sa.
But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
21 Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Nou wè. Nou peye sa nou te fè frè nou an pase. Se vre wi. Nou te fè mal lè nou te fè frè nou an pase tout sa nou te fè l' la. Nou te wè ki jan sa te fè l' lapenn anpil, lè li t'ap mande nou fè l' gras. Men, nou pa t' vle koute l'. Se poutèt sa nou nan tout traka sa a.
And they said one to another, We haue verily sinned against our brother, in that we sawe the anguish of his soule, when he besought vs, and we would not heare him: therefore is this trouble come vpon vs.
22 Woubenn di yo: -Mwen te di nou pa fè tibway la anyen, men nou pa t' vle koute m'. Koulye a se lanmò tibway la n'ap peye.
And Reuben answered them, saying, Warned I not you, saying, Sinne not against the childe, and ye would not heare? and lo, his blood is now required.
23 Jozèf te konprann tout sa yo t'ap di a. Men yo pa t' konn sa paske te gen yon moun ki t'ap tradwi pou yo lè yo t'ap pale avè l'.
(And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)
24 Jozèf soti kote yo te ye a, li al kriye. Lèfini li tounen, li pale ak yo, li pran Simeyon, li fè yo mete l' nan chenn, la devan yo tout.
Then he turned from them, and wept, and turned to them againe, and communed with them, and tooke Simeon from among them, and bounde him before their eyes.
25 Jozèf te bay lòd pou yo te plen sak yo avèk ble, pou yo te mete lajan yo chak nan sak yo ankò, lèfini pou yo ba yo manje pou yo manje sou wout la. Se sa yo te fè vre.
So Ioseph commanded that they should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them.
26 Frè yo menm chaje bourik yo ak ble yo te achte a, yo pati.
And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.
27 Lè yo rive kote yo t'ap pase nwit la a, yonn ladan yo louvri sak li pou l' te ka bay bourik li manje. Li jwenn lajan li te bay la nan sak la.
And as one of them opened his sacke for to giue his asse prouender in the ynne, he espyed his money: for lo, it was in his sackes mouth.
28 Li di frè l' yo. -Yo renmèt mwen lajan m' lan wi. Men li nan sak mwen an. Kè yo kase. Yo t'ap tranble kou fèy bwa tèlman yo te pè. Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Kisa Bondye fè nou konsa?
Then he sayde vnto his brethren, My money is restored: for loe, it is euen in my sacke. And their heart fayled them, and they were astonished, and sayde one to another, What is this, that God hath done vnto vs?
29 Lè yo rive kay Jakòb, papa yo, nan peyi Kanaran, yo rakonte l' tout sa ki te pase. Yo di l':
And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,
30 -Nèg k'ap gouvènen peyi a pale rèd ak nou. Li pran nou pou espyon.
The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.
31 Nou di l' nou p'ap ba l' manti, se pa espyon nou ye.
And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.
32 Se douz frè nou ye, pitit yon sèl papa. Yonn nan nou disparèt, dènye a rete ak papa nou nan peyi Kanaran.
We be twelue brethren, sonnes of our father: one is not, and the yongest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 Men chèf peyi a di nou: Men ki jan m'ap konnen si nou p'ap ban m' manti: Kite yonn nan frè nou yo isit la avèk mwen. Pran sa nou bezwen pou fanmi nou. Nou mèt ale. Mennen lòt ti frè nou an ban mwen.
Then the Lord of the countrey sayde vnto vs, Hereby shall I knowe if ye be true men: Leaue one of your brethren with me, and take foode for the famine of your houses and depart,
34 Lè sa a, m'a konnen se pa espyon nou ye, nou pa t'ap ban m' manti. m'a renmèt nou frè nou an. m'a kite nou trafike nan peyi a.
And bring your yongest brother vnto me, that I may knowe that ye are no spies, but true men: so will I deliuer you your brother, and yee shall occupie in the land.
35 Lè yo vide sak yo, chak moun jwenn ti sakit lajan li te bay la nan bouch sak li ankò. Lè yo wè sa, yon sèl lapè pran yo ansanm ak papa yo.
And as they emptied their sacks, behold, euery mans bundel of money was in his sacke: and when they and their father sawe the bundels of their money, they were afrayde.
36 Lè sa a Jakòb, papa yo, di: -N'ap wete tout pitit mwen yo nan men m'. Jozèf disparèt, Simeyon pa la ankò. Koulye a, nou vle pran m' Benjamen. Se mwen menm k'ap pote tout chaj la.
Then Iaakob their father said to them, Ye haue robbed me of my children: Ioseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Beniamin: all these things are against me.
37 Woubenn di papa l' konsa: -Papa, ou mèt touye de pitit gason m' yo, si m' pa mennen Benjamen tounen ba ou. Ou mèt renmèt mwen li nan men, m'ap mennen l' tounen ba ou.
Then Reuben answered his father, saying, Slay my two sonnes, if I bring him not to thee againe: deliuer him to mine hand, and I will bring him to thee againe.
38 Men Jakòb te di: -Pitit gason m' lan p'ap fè yon pa. Frè li a fin mouri. Se li menm sèl ki rete nan pitit manman l' yo. Si pou yon malè ta rive l' nan vwayaj nou pral fè a, m'a mouri. Mwen fin granmoun, lapenn sa a va twòp pou mwen, la fin pote m' ale. (Sheol h7585)
But he said, My sonne shall not go downe with you: for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if death come vnto him by the way which ye goe, then ye shall bring my gray head with sorow vnto the graue. (Sheol h7585)
