Jenèz 24
1 Alò, Abraham te vin vye, byen avanse nan laj. Epi SENYÈ a te beni Abraham nan tout bagay.
Forsothe Abraham was eld, and of many daies, and the Lord hadde blessid hym in alle thingis.
2 Abraham te di a sèvitè li a, sila ki te gen plis laj lakay li a, ki te an chaj tout sa ke li te posede: “Souple, mete men ou anba kwis mwen.
And he seide to the eldere seruaunt of his hows, that was souereyn on alle thingis that he hadde, Put thou thin hond vndur myn hipe,
3 Mwen va fè ou sèmante devan SENYÈ a, Bondye syèl la avèk Bondye tè a, ke ou p ap pran yon madanm pou fis mwen ki sòti nan fi Kananeyen yo, pami moun m ap viv yo,
that Y coniure thee bi the Lord God of heuene and of erthe, that thou take not a wijf to my sone of the douytris of Chanaan, among whiche Y dwelle;
4 men ke ou va ale nan peyi mwen, kote relasyon mwen yo, e pran yon madanm pou fis mwen an, Isaac.”
but that thou go to my lond and kynrede, and therof take a wijf to my sone Ysaac.
5 Sèvitè a te di li: “Sipoze ke fanm nan pa vle swiv mwen pou vini nan peyi a? Èske mwen dwe mennen fis ou a retounen nan peyi kote ou te soti a?”
The seruaunt aunswerde, If the womman nyle come with me in to this lond, whether Y owe lede ayen thi sone to the place, fro which thou yedist out?
6 Abraham te di li: “Veye ke ou pa pran fis mwen an pou fè l retounen la!
Abraham seide, Be war, lest ony tyme thou lede ayen thidur my sone;
7 SENYÈ a, Bondye syèl la ki te pran m, fè m sòti lakay papa m, peyi natal mwen, ki te pale avèk mwen; Li te sèmante ak mwen, e Li te di: ‘A desandan ou yo, Mwen va bay tè sa a’. Li va voye zanj Li devan ou, e ou va pran yon madanm pou fis mwen an soti la.
the Lord of heuene that took me fro the hows of my fadir, and fro the lond of my birthe, which spak to me, and swoor, and seide, Y schal yyue this lond to thi seed, he schal sende his aungel bifore thee, and thou schalt take fro thennus a wijf to my sone; forsothe if the womman nyle sue thee,
8 Men si fanm nan pa vle swiv ou, alò ou va lib de sèman pa m nan, Sèlman, pa fè fis mwen an retounen la.”
thou schalt not be holdun bi the ooth; netheles lede not ayen my sone thidur.
9 Alò, sèvitè a te plase men l anba kwis mèt li, Abraham, e li te sèmante devan li sou zafè sila a.
Therfore the seruaunt puttide his hond vndur the hipe of Abraham, his lord, and swoor to him on this word.
10 Epi sèvitè a te pran dis chamo pami chamo mèt li yo, e li te pati avèk yon seleksyon plizyè bon bagay a mèt li nan men l. Li te leve pou ale nan Mésopotamie pou rive nan vil Nahor.
And he took ten camels of the floc of his lord, and yede forth, and bar with him of alle the goodis of his lord; and he yede forth, and cam to Mesopotanye, to the citee of Nachor.
11 Li te fè chamo yo bese a jenou deyò vil la toupre pwi a nan aswè, nan lè ke fanm yo te vin rale dlo.
And whanne he hadde maad the camels to reste with out the citee, bisidis the pit of watir, in the euentid, in that tyme in which wymmen ben wont to go out to drawe watir,
12 Li te di: “O Senyè, Bondye a mèt mwen an, Abraham, souple, lese mwen twouve siksè jodi a, e montre lanmou ak dousè Ou anvè mèt mwen, Abraham.
he seide, Lord God of my lord Abraham, Y biseche, meete with me to dai, and do mersi with my lord Abraham.
13 Gade byen, m ap kanpe akote sous la, e fi a pèp vil yo ap parèt pou rale dlo.
Lo! Y stonde nyy the welle of watir, and the douytris of enhabiters of this citee schulen go out to drawe watir;
14 Koulye a, kite sa fèt ke a fi ke mwen di: ‘Souple, desann veso ou pou m kab bwè’, e ki reponn: ‘Bwè, e mwen va bay bèt ou yo dlo tou’: lese ke se sila ke Ou te chwazi pou sèvitè ou a, Isaac. Konsa nou va konnen ke Ou te montre lanmou ak dousè Ou a mèt mwen an.”
therfor the damysel to which Y schal seie, Bowe doun thi watir pot that Y drynke, and schal answere, Drynke thou, but also Y schal yyue drynke to thi camels, thilke it is which thou hast maad redi to thi seruaunt Ysaac; and bi this Y schal vndirstonde that thou hast do mersi with my lord Abraham.
15 Avan li te fin pale, gade, Rebecca ki te ne a Bethuel, fi Milca a, fanm Nachor, frè Abraham nan te parèt ak veso sou zepòl li.
And he hadde not yit fillid the wordis with ynne hym silf, and lo! Rebecca, the douytir of Batuel, sone of Melcha, wijf of Nachor, brothir of Abraham, yede out, hauynge a watir pot in hir schuldre;
16 Fi a te trè bèl, yon vyèj, e gason pa t janm antre nan relasyon avè l. Li te desann nan sous la, li te ranpli veso li, e li t ap monte.
a damysel ful comeli, and faireste virgyn, and vnknowun of man. Sotheli sche cam doun to the welle, and fillide the watir pot, and turnide ayen.
17 Alò, sèvitè a te kouri bò kote li, e te di: “Souple, kite mwen bwè yon ti dlo nan veso ou a.”
And the seruaunt mette hir, and seide, Yyue thou to me a litil of the watir of thi pot to drynke.
18 Li te di: “Bwè, mèt mwen.” Byen vit li te desann veso li rive nan men li, e li te bay li bwè.
Which answerde, Drynke thou, my lord. And anoon sche dide doun the watir pot on hir schuldre, and yaf drynk to hym.
19 Lè li te fin ba li bwè, li te di: “Mwen va rale dlo osi pou chamo ou yo, jiskaske yo fin bwè”.
And whanne he hadde drunke, sche addide, But also Y schal drawe watir to thi camelis, til alle drynken.
20 Imedyatman li te vide veso li nan basen pou bèt yo, li te kouri retounen nan pwi a pou rale dlo, e li te rale pou tout chamo li yo.
And sche helde out the watir pot in trouyis, and ran ayen to the pit, to drawe watir, and sche yaf watir drawun to alle the camels.
21 Antretan, nonm nan t ap veye li an silans, pou konnen si SENYÈ a te fè vwayaj li a vin yon siksè, ou non.
Sotheli he bihelde hir priueli, and wolde wite whether the Lord hadde sped his wei, ethir nay.
22 Epi pandan chamo yo te fin bwè, nonm nan te pran bag lò ki peze yon mwatye sik (sis gram nan) avèk de braslè pou ponyèt li, ki te peze dis sik an lò,
Therfor after that the camels drunken, the man brouyte forth goldun eere ryngis, weiynge twei siclis, and as many bies of the arm, in the weiyte of ten siclis.
23 epi li te mande: “Se fi a ki moun ou ye? Souple, fè m konnen, èske gen lojman lakay papa ou?”
And he seide to hir, Whos douyter art thou? schewe thou to me, is ony place in the hows of thi fadir to dwelle?
24 Li te di li: “Mwen se fi Bethuel la, fis Milca, ke li te fè pou Nahor a.”
Which answerde, Y am the douyter of Batuel, sone of Nachor, whom Melcha childide to him.
25 Ankò fi a te di li: “Nou gen ase, nan pay avèk manje, ak espas pou lojman”.
And sche addide, seiynge, Also ful myche of prouendre and of hey is at vs, and a large place to dwelle.
26 Alò, mesye a te bese byen ba, e li te adore SENYÈ a.
The man bowide hym silf,
27 Li te di: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye a mèt mwen an, Abraham, ki pa t abandone lanmou avèk konpasyon Li ak verite Li anvè mèt mwen. Pou mwen, SENYÈ a te dirije m nan chemen lakay de frè a mèt mwen yo.”
and worschipide the Lord, and seide, Blessid be the Lord God of my lord Abraham, which God took not aweie his mersy and treuthe fro my lord, and ledde me bi riyt weie in to the hous of the brother of my lord.
28 Alò, fi a te kouri pou pale tout kay manman l de bagay sa yo.
And so the damesel ran, and telde in the hous of hir modir alle thingis whiche sche hadde herd.
29 Fi a te gen yon frè ki te rele Laban. Laban te kouri deyò kote mesye a nan sous la.
Sotheli Rebecca hadde a brothir, Laban bi name, whiche yede out hastili to the man, where he was with out forth.
30 Lè li te wè bag la avèk braslè yo sou ponyèt sè li, e lè li te tande pawòl a Rebecca yo, sè li, ki te di: “Se sa ke mesye a te di mwen,” li te ale kote mesye a. Gade byen, li te kanpe akote chamo yo nan sous la.
And whanne he hadde seyn the eere ryngis and byes of the arm in the hondis of his sister, and hadde herd alle the wordis of hir tellynge, the man spak to me these thingis, he cam to the man that stood bisidis the camels, and nyy the welle of watir,
31 Epi li te di: “Antre non, beni a SENYÈ a! Poukisa ou kanpe deyò, Paske m gen tan prepare kay la avèk yon plas pou chamo yo?”
and seide to him, Entre thou, the blessid of the Lord; whi stondist thou with outforth? I haue maad redi the hows, and a place to thi camels.
32 Alò, mesye a te antre nan kay la. Laban te dechaje chamo yo, e li te bay pay avèk manje pou chamo yo, ak dlo pou lave pye li, avèk pye a mesye ki te avèk li yo.
And he brouyte hym in to the ynne, and unsadlide the camels, and yaf prouendre, and hey, and watir to waische the feet of camels, and of men that camen with hym.
33 Men lè manje a te plase devan li, li te di: “Mwen p ap manje jiskaske mwen pale de misyon mwen an.” Laban te di: “Pale toujou”.
And breed was set forth in his siyt, which seide, Y schal not ete til Y speke my wordis. He answerde to the man, Speke thou.
34 Li te di: “Mwen se sèvitè Abraham.
And the man seide, Y am the seruaunt of Abraham,
35 SENYÈ a te beni mèt mwen an anpil, jiskaske li vin reyisi anpil. Li te bay li bann mouton ak twoupo, lò ak lajan, sèvitè ak sèvant yo, e chamo ak bourik.
and the Lord hath blessid my lord greetli, and he is maad greet; and God yaf to hym scheep, and oxun, siluer, and gold, seruauntis, and handmaides, camels, and assis.
36 Alò, Sarah, madanm a mèt mwen an te fè yon fis pou mèt mwen an nan vyeyès li. Li te bay li tout sa li posede.
And Sare, `the wijf of my lord, childide a sone to my lord in his eelde, and he yaf alle thingis that he hadde to that sone.
37 Mèt mwen an te fè m sèmante pou di: ‘Ou pa pou pran yon madanm pou fis mwen ki sòti nan fi Kananeyen yo, nan peyi kote m ap viv la,
And my lord chargide me greetli, and seide, Thou schalt not take to my sone a wijf of the douytris of Canaan, in whos lond Y dwelle,
38 men ou va ale kote lakay papa m, nan moun fanmi pa m yo, e pran yon madanm pou fis mwen an.’
but thou schalt go to the hous of my fadir, and of myn kynrede thou schalt take a wijf to my sone.
39 “Mwen te di a mèt mwen an: ‘Sipoze ke fanm nan pa swiv mwen.’
Forsothe Y answerde to my lord, What if the womman nyle come with me?
40 “Li te di mwen: ‘SENYÈ a devan Sila mwen te mache a, va fè vwayaj ou a reyisi. Ou va pran yon madanm pou fis mwen an pami moun fanmi mwen yo, ak lakay papa m.
He seide, The Lord in whose siyt Y go, schal sende his aungel with thee, and he schal dresse thi weie; and thou schalt take a wijf to my sone of my kynrede, and of my fadris hows.
41 Epi konsa, ou va lib de sèman mwen an, si lè ou rive pami moun fanmi mwen yo, yo pa ba ou li. Si se sa a, ou va lib de sèman mwen an.’
Thou schalt be innocent fro my curs, whanne thou comest to my kynesmen, and thei yyuen not `the womman to thee.
42 “Konsa, mwen te vini jodi a nan sous la, e te di: ‘O SENYÈ, Bondye a mèt mwen an, Abraham, si koulye a ou va fè vwayaj ke m ap fè a reyisi.
Therfor Y cam to day to the welle of watir, and Y seide, Lord God of my lord Abraham, if thou hast dressid my weie in which Y go now, lo!
43 Gade byen, mwen ap kanpe vè sous la, kite sa fèt ke jèn fi ki sòti pou rale dlo a, e ke mwen di: “Souple, kite m bwè yon ti dlo nan veso ou a”,
Y stonde bisidis the welle of watir, and the maide that schal go out to drawe watir herith me, yyue thou to me a litil of water to drynke of thi pot,
44 epi li di mwen: ‘Ou mèt bwè, e mwen va tire dlo pou chamo ou yo tou,’ kite sa fèt ke se li ke SENYÈ a te chwazi pou fis a mèt mwen an.”
and seith to me, And thou drynke, and Y schal drawe watir to thi camels, thilke is the womman which the Lord hath maad redi to the sone of my lord.
45 “Avan mwen te fin pale nan kè mwen, gade byen, Rebecca te parèt avèk veso li sou zepòl li, e li te desann nan sous la pou tire. Mwen te di li: ‘Souple, kite m bwè.’”
While Y turnede in thouyte these thingis with me, Rebecca apperide, comynge with a pot which sche bare in the schuldre; and sche yede doun to the welle, and drowe watir. And Y seide to hir, Yyue thou a litil to me to drynke; and sche hastide,
46 “Li te byen vit desann veso a sou zepòl li, e li te di: ‘Bwè’, e mwen va bay bèt ou yo dlo tou’: Alò, mwen te bwè, e li te bay bèt yo dlo tou.
and dide doun the pot of the schuldre, and seide to me, And thou drynke, and Y schal yyue drynke to thi camels; Y drank, and watride the camels.
47 “Mwen te mande li konsa: ‘Fi a ki moun ou ye?’ Epi li te reponn: ‘Fi a Bethuel la, fis a Nachor, ke Milca te bay li a.’ Epi konsa, mwen te mete bag la nan nen li, e braslè yo nan ponyèt li.
And Y axide hir, and seide, Whos douytir art thou? Which answerde, Y am the douytir of Batuel, sone of Nachor, whom Melcha childide to him. And so Y hangide eere ryngis to ourne hir face, and Y puttide bies of the arm in hir hondis,
48 “Epi mwen te bese byen ba, mwen te adore SENYÈ a, e te beni SENYÈ a, Bondye a mèt mwen an, Abraham, ki te gide mwen nan bon chemen pou pran fi nan fanmi mèt mwen an pou fis li.
and lowliche Y worschipide the Lord, and Y blessid the Lord God of my lord Abraham, which God ledde me bi riyt weie, that Y schulde take the douytir of the brothir of my lord to his sone.
49 Alò, koulye a, si w ap aji avèk dousè e verite avèk mèt mwen an, fè m konnen. Men si se pa sa, kite m konnen, pou m kapab vire swa adwat, swa agoch.”
Wherfor if ye don mercy and treuthe with `my lord, schewe ye to me; ellis if othir thing plesith, also seie ye this, that Y go to the riyt side ethir to the left side.
50 Laban avèk Bethuel te reponn: “Afè sa a sòti nan SENYÈ a. Alò nou pa kapab pale ou ni byen, ni mal.
Laban and Batuel answeriden, The word is gon out of the Lord; we moun not speke ony other thing with thee without his plesaunce.
51 Men Rebecca la devan ou, pran li pou ou ale, e ke li vin madanm a fis mèt ou a, jan SENYÈ a te pale a.”
Lo! Rebecca is bifore thee; take thou hir, and go forth, and be sche wijf of the sone of thi lord, as the Lord spak.
52 Lè sèvitè Abraham nan te tande pawòl sa yo, li te bese tèt li atè devan SENYÈ a.
And whanne the child of Abraham hadde herd this, he felde doun, and worschipide the Lord in erthe.
53 Sèvitè a te mete deyò bagay ki fèt ak lajan avèk lò, ak vètman, e li te bay yo a Rebecca. Li te osi bay kèk bagay ki koute byen chè a frè li avèk manman li.
And whanne vessels of siluer, and of gold, and clothis weren brouyt forth, he yaf tho to Rebecca for yifte, and he yaf yiftis to hir britheren, and modir.
54 Li menm avèk mesye ki te avè l yo te manje, bwè e te pase nwit lan. Lè yo te leve nan maten li te di: “Voye mwen ale vè mèt mwen.”
And whanne a feeste was maad, thei eeten and drunken to gider, and dwelliden there. Forsothe the child roos eerli, and spak, Delyuere ye me, that Y go to my lord.
55 Men frè li avèk manman li te di: “Kite fi a rete avèk nou pandan kèk jou, annou di di jou. Apre li kapab ale”.
Hir britheren and modir answerden, The damesele dwelle nameli ten daies at vs, and aftirward sche schal go forth.
56 Li te reponn yo: “Pa anpeche m, paske se SENYÈ a ki te fè chemen mwen an reyisi. Voye m ale pou m kapab retounen bò kote mèt mwen.”
The child seide, Nyle ye holde me, for the Lord hath dressid my weie; delyuere ye me, that I go to my lord.
57 Epi yo te di: “Nou va rele fi a pou mande li volonte pa li.”:
And thei seiden, Clepe we the damysele, and axe we hir wille.
58 Alò, yo te rele Rebecca e te di li: “Èske ou va ale avèk mesye sila a?” Epi li te reponn: “M ap prale.”
And whanne sche was clepid, and cam, thei axiden, Wolt thou go with this man?
59 Konsa yo te voye Rebecca, sè yo a ale, avèk bòn li yo, sèvitè Abraham nan ak mesye pa li yo.
And sche seide, Y schal go. Therfor they delyueriden hir, and hir nurse, and the seruaunt of Abraham, and hise felowis, and wischiden prosperitees to her sister,
60 Yo te beni Rebecca, e te di li: “Ke ou menm, sè nou, kapab devni manman a dè milye de dizèn de milye, e ke desandan ou yo kapab posede pòtay a sila ki rayi yo.”
and seiden, Thou art oure sister, encreesse thou in to a thousand thousandis, and thi seed gete the yatis of hise enemyes.
61 Epi Rebecca te leve avèk bòn li yo, yo te monte chamo yo, e yo te swiv mesye a. Konsa sèvitè a te pran Rebecca, e li te pati.
Therfor Rebecca and hir damesels stieden on the camels, and sueden the man, which turnede ayen hasteli to his lord.
62 Alò, Isaac t ap sòti nan yon vwayaj vè Lachaï-roi, paske li t ap viv nan Negev.
In that tyme Ysaac walkide bi the weie that ledith to the pit, whos name is of hym that lyueth and seeth; for he dwellide in the south lond.
63 Isaac te ale deyò pou fè meditasyon nan chan an nan aswè. Lè li te leve zye li pou gade, gade byen, chamo yo t ap vini.
And he yede out to thenke in the feeld, for the dai was `bowid thanne; and whanne he hadde reisid the iyen, he seiy camels comynge afer.
64 Rebecca te leve zye li, e lè li te wè Isaac, li te desann chamo a.
And whanne Ysaac was seyn, Rebecca liyte doun of the camel,
65 Li te di sèvitè a: “Kilès mesye sa a k ap mache nan chan an vin jwenn nou an?” Epi sèvitè a te reponn: “Li se mèt mwen.” Konsa, fi a te pran vwal la, e li te kouvri tèt li.
and seide to the child, Who is that man that cometh bi the feeld in to the metyng of vs? And the child seide to hir, He is my lord. And sche took soone a mentil, and hilide hir.
66 Sèvitè a te di Isaac tout sa ke li te fè.
Forsothe the seruaunt tolde to his lord Ysaac alle thingis whiche he hadde do;
67 Epi Isaac te mennen li nan tant li. Li te pran Rebecca, e li te vin madanm li, e li te renmen li. Konsa Isaac te konsole lè manman li te fin mouri.
which Ysaac ledde hir in to the tabernacle of Sare, his modir, and took hir to wijf; and so myche he louede hir, that he temperide the sorewe which bifelde of the deeth of the modir.
