Jenèz 43
1 Grangou t'ap bat pi rèd nan peyi Kanaran an.
And the derth waxed sore in the lande.
2 Lè fanmi Jakòb yo te fin manje ble yo te pote soti nan peyi Lejip la, Jakòb di pitit li yo: -Tounen al chache manje pou nou ankò non.
And when they had eate vp that corne which they brought out of the lande of Egipte their father sayde vnto them: goo agayne and by vs a litle food.
3 Jida reponn li: -Nonm lan te byen avèti nou pou nou pa parèt devan l' si nou pa vin ak ti frè nou an.
Than sayde Iuda vnto him: the man dyd testifie vnto vs saynge: loke that ye see not my face excepte youre brother be with you.
4 Si ou vle kite ti frè nou an vin ak nou, nou v al achte manje pou ou.
Therfore yf thou wilt sende oure brother with vs we wyll goo and bye the food.
5 Si ou pa vle kite l' ale, n'ap rete, paske msye a te tout di nou: piga nou parèt devan l' ankò si nou pa vin ak ti frè nou an.
But yf thou wylt not sende him we wyll not goo: for the man sayde vnto vs: loke that ye see not my face excepte youre brother be with you.
6 Izrayèl di: -Sa nou te bezwen di l' nou te gen yon ti frè fè? Poukisa nou fè m' sa?
And Israell sayde: wherfore delt ye so cruelly with me as to tell the man that ye had yet another brother?
7 Yo reponn li: -Msye a t'ap poze nou keksyon sou nou ak sou fanmi nou. Li mande nou si papa nou la toujou, si nou gen lòt frè, se pou n' te reponn li. Kouman pou n' ta fè konnen li tapral mande nou pou nou mennen ti frè nou an ba li?
And they sayde: The man asked vs of oure kynred saynge: is youre father yet alyue? haue ye not another brother? And we tolde him acordynge to these wordes. How cowd we knowe that he wolde byd vs brynge oure brother downe with vs?
8 Jida di Izrayèl, papa l', konsa: -Kite tibway la ale ak nou. Konsa n'a leve, n'a pati. Konsa ni ou menm, ni nou menm, ni timoun nou yo p'ap mouri grangou.
Than sayde Iuda vnto Israell his father: Send the lad with me and we wyll ryse and goo that we maye lyue and not dye: both we thou and also oure childern.
9 Se nan men m' li ye, se mwen menm ki pou rann ou kont pou li. Si m' pa mennen l' tounen ba ou, si m' pa tounen avè l' la devan ou, se mwen menm k'ap pote fòt la devan ou jouk mwen mouri.
I wilbe suertie for him and of my handes requyre him. Yf I brynge him not to the and sett him before thine eyes than let me bere the blame for euer.
10 Si nou pa t' pran tout reta sa a, koulye a nou ta gen tan ale nou tounen de fwa deja.
For except we had made this tarieg: by this we had bene there twyse and come agayne.
11 Lè sa a, Izrayèl, papa yo, di: -Bon. Si se konsa sa ye, men sa pou n' fè: n'ap pran pi bon danre ki gen nan peyi a, n'ap mete nan sak nou, n'ap pote fè nonm lan kado: gonm santi bon, siwo myèl, lansan, lami, pistach ak nwa.
Than their father Israel sayde vnto the Yf it must nedes be so now: than do thus take of the best frutes of the lande in youre vesselles and brynge the man a present a curtesie bawlme and a curtesie of hony spyces and myrre dates and almondes.
12 Lèfini, n'a pran de fwa valè lajan nou bezwen, paske fòk nou renmèt lajan yo te mete nan bouch sak ble yo tou. Ou pa janm konnen, yo ka pa t' wè sa.
And take as moch money more with you. And the money that was brought agayne in youre sackes take it agayne with you in youre handes peraduenture it was some ouersyghte.
13 Pran frè nou an, tounen kote msye a.
Take also youre brother with you and aryse and goo agayne to the man.
14 M'ap mande Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pou l' fè nonm lan aji byen ak nou, pou l' ka renmèt nou ni lòt frè nou an, ni Benjamen. Pou mwen menm, si se pou m' pèdi pitit mwen yo, mwen mèt pèdi yo.
And God almightie geue you mercie in the sighte of the man and send you youre other brother and also Be Iamin and I wilbe as a ma robbed of his childern.
15 Se konsa mesye yo pran kado yo, de fwa valè lajan yo te bezwen ansanm ak Benjamen, yo leve, yo desann peyi Lejip kote yo parèt devan Jozèf.
Thus toke they the present and twise so moch more money with them and Ben Iamin. And rose vp went downe to Egipte and presented them selfe to Ioseph.
16 Lè Jozèf wè Benjamen ak yo, li rele chèf domestik li a, li di l': -Mennen mesye sa yo lakay mwen. Touye yon bèt, kwit li, paske mesye sa yo ap manje avè m' midi a.
When Ioseph sawe Ben Iamin with them he sayde to the ruelar of his house: brynge these men home and sley and make redie: for they shall dyne with me at none.
17 Chèf domestik la fè sa Jozèf te di l' fè a, li mennen mesye yo lakay li.
And the man dyd as Ioseph bad and brought them in to Iosephs house.
18 Men, lè mesye yo wè yo t'ap mennen yo lakay Jozèf, yo te pè anpil. Yo t'ap di: -Se poutèt lajan nou te jwenn nan sak nou yo dènye fwa a kifè y'ap mennen nou bò isit la. Yo pral kenbe nou, yo pral bat nou, y'ap fè nou tounen esklav. Lèfini y'ap pran bourik nou yo.
When they were brought to Iosephs house they were afrayde ad sayde: be cause of the money yt came in oure sackes mouthes at the first tyme are we brought to pyke a quarell with vs and to laye some thinge to oure charge: to brynge us in bondage and oure asses also.
19 Se konsa, antan yo rive nan papòt kay la, yo pwoche bò chèf domestik la,
Therfore came they to the man that was the ruelar ouer Iosephs house and comened with him at the doore
20 yo di l': -Eskize nou wi, mèt. Nou te vin isit la yon fwa deja pou n' te achte manje.
and sayde: Sir we came hither at the first tyme to bye foode
21 Lè n'ap tounen lakay nou, nou rive yon kote nou t'ap poze pou pase nwit, nou louvri sak nou yo, nou jwenn tout lajan an nan bouch sak yo, byen konte. Nou pote l' tounen wi.
and as we came to an Inne and opened oure sackes: beholde euery mannes money was in his sacke with full weghte: But we haue broght it agene with us
22 Nou pote lòt lajan tout pou n' ka achte manje. Nou pa konnen ki moun ki te mete lajan an nan sak nou yo ankò.
and other mony haue we brought also in oure handes to bye foode but we can not tell who put oure money in oure sackes.
23 Domestik anchèf la di yo: -Pa okipe bagay konsa. Nou pa bezwen pè. Se Bondye nou an, Bondye papa nou an, ki mete richès sa a pou nou nan sak yo. Mwen te resevwa premye lajan an. Lèfini, li mennen Simeyon vin jwenn yo.
And he sayde: be of good chere feare not: Youre God and the God of youre fathers hath put you that treasure in youre sackes for I had youre money. And he brought Simeon out to them
24 Chèf domestik la mennen mesye yo lakay Jozèf. Li ba yo dlo pou yo lave pye yo, li bay bourik yo manje.
ad led the into Iosephs house and gaue the water to washe their fete and gaue their asses prauender:
25 Mesye yo menm pare kado yo pou lè Jozèf va vin jwenn yo midi, paske yo te vin konnen yo tapral manje avè l'.
And they made redie their present agaynst Ioseph came at none for they herde saye that they shulde dyne there.
26 Lè Jozèf antre lakay li, yo pote kado yo ba li, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li.
When Ioseph came home they brought the present in to the house to him which they had in their handes ad fell flat on the grounde befor him.
27 Jozèf mande yo kouman yo ye. Apre sa, li di yo: -Granmoun nou te pale m' lan, papa nou an, ban m' nouvèl li non? Li la toujou? Li byen?
And he welcomed the curteously sainge: is youre father that old man which ye tolde me of in good health? and is he yet alyue?
28 Yo reponn li: -Granmoun lan la wi, l'ap debat. Li byen mèsi. Yo tonbe ajenou, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li.
they answered: thy servaunte oure father is in good health ad is yet alyue. And they bowed them selues and fell to the grounde.
29 Lè Jozèf fè sa li wè Benjamen, frè menm manman menm papa avè l' la, li di: -Eske se ti frè nou an sa, ti frè nou t'ap pale m' lan? Bondye beni ou, pitit mwen.
And he lyfte vp his eyes and behelde his brother Ben Iamin his mothers sonne and sayde: is this youre yongest brother of whome ye sayde vnto me? And sayde: God be mercyfull vnto ye my sonne.
30 Lè sa a, Jozèf kouri soti byen vit, paske kè l' t'ap fè l' mal pou frè l' yo. Dlo vin nan je l', li antre nan chanm li, li kriye kont li.
And Ioseph made hast (for his hert dyd melt apon his brother) and soughte for to wepe and entred in to his chambre for to wepe there.
31 Apre sa, li lave figi l', li soti, li kenbe pou li pa kriye ankò, epi li bay lòd sèvi manje a.
And he wasshed his face and came out and refrayned himselfe and bad sett bread on the table
32 Yo te sèvi yon tab apa pou Jozèf, yon tab apa pou frè l' yo ak yon lòt tab apa pou moun peyi Lejip ki t'ap manje ansanm ak yo tou, paske pou moun peyi Lejip yo, se ta yon wont pou yo chita manje sou menm tab ak ebre yo.
And they prepared for him by himselfe and for them by them selues and for the Egiptians which ate with him by them selues because the Egyptians may not eate bread with the Hebrues for that is an abhomynacyon vnto the Egiptians.
33 Frè Jozèf yo te chita anfas li. Yo te mete yo chita dapre laj yo, depi pi gran an jouk pi piti. Lè yo wè sa, yo te sezi, yonn gade lòt.
And they satt before him: the eldest acordynge vnto his age and the yongest acordyng vnto his youth. And the men marveled amonge them selves.
34 Jozèf te fè yo pran manje sou tab li pote ba yo. Benjamen te resevwa senk fwa plis pase lòt yo. Yo manje, yo bwè, yo fete ansanm avè l'.
And they broughte rewardes vnto them from before him: but Ben Iamins parte was fyue tymes so moch as any of theirs. And they ate and they dronke and were dronke wyth him.
