Jenèz 27
1 Alò, li te vin rive lè Isaac te vye, e zye li te twò fèb pou wè, ke li te rele Ésaü, pi gran nan pitit li yo. Li te di li: “Fis mwen.” Ésaü te reponn li: “Men mwen.”
And when Izhak was olde, and his eyes were dimme (so that he coulde not see) he called Esau his eldest sonne, and sayde vnto him, My sonne. And he answered him, I am here.
2 Isaac te di: “Gade byen, koulye a, mwen vin vye. Mwen pa konnen jou ke m ap mouri an.
Then he sayd, Beholde, I am nowe olde, and knowe not the day of my death:
3 Ebyen, souple pran flèch ou yo avèk banza ou, e ale nan chan pou fè lachas jibye pou mwen.
Wherefore nowe, I pray thee take thine instruments, thy quiuer and thy bowe, and get thee to the fielde, that thou mayest take mee some venison.
4 Prepare yon manje ki gen bon gou, jan ou konnen ke m renmen li an, e pote ban mwen pou m kab manje, pou nanm mwen kapab beni ou avan ke m mouri.”
Then make mee sauourie meate, such as I loue, and bring it me that I may eat, and that my soule may blesse thee, before I die.
5 Rebecca t ap koute pandan Isaac t ap pale avèk fis li a, Ésaü. Alò, lè Ésaü te ale nan chan pou fè lachas jibye pou kapab pote lakay,
(Nowe Rebekah heard, when Izhak spake to Esau his sonne) and Esau went into the fielde to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 Rebecca te di fis li a, Jacob: “Veye byen, mwen te tande papa ou pale ak frè ou a Ésaü. Li te di:
Then Rebekah spake vnto Iaakob her sonne, saying, Beholde, I haue heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, saying,
7 ‘Pote pou mwen kèk jibye e prepare yon manje bon gou pou mwen, pou mwen kapab manje, e beni ou nan prezans SENYÈ a, avan ke m mouri.’
Bring mee vension, and make mee sauourie meate, that I may eate and blesse thee before the Lord, afore my death.
8 Alò, pou sa, fis mwen, koute lòd ke mwen pral ba ou a.
Nowe therefore, my sonne, heare my voyce in that which I command thee.
9 Ale koulye a, ale nan bann twoupo a. Chwazi de jèn kabrit ladann, pou m kapab prepare yo kòm yon bon manje pou papa ou, jan li renmen li an.
Get thee nowe to the flocke, and bring me thence two good kids of the goates, that I may make pleasant meate of them for thy father, such as he loueth.
10 Konsa, ou va pote li bay papa ou, pou li kapab manje, pou li kapab beni ou avan ke li mouri”.
Then shalt thou bring it to thy father, and he shall eate, to the intent that he may blesse thee before his death.
11 Jacob te reponn a manman l, Rebecca: “Gade byen, Ésaü, frè m nan byen kouvri avèk plim, e po m byen swa.
But Iaakob sayde to Rebekah his mother, Beholde, Esau my brother is rough, and I am smoothe.
12 Petèt papa m va manyen m. Konsa, mwen ta vin tankou yon twonpè nan zye li, e mwen ta rale sou mwen yon madichon olye yon benediksyon.”
My father may possibly feele me, and I shall seem to him to be a mocker: so shall I bring a curse vpon me, and not a blessing.
13 Men manman li te di li: “Ke madichon ou tonbe sou mwen, fis mwen! Sèlman obeyi vwa m, e ale chache yo pou mwen.”
But his mother sayd vnto him, vpon me be thy curse, my sonne: onely heare my voyce, and go and bring me them.
14 Li te ale chache yo e te pote yo bay manman l. Manman l te fè yon manje bon gou jan papa l te renmen an.
So he went and set them, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made pleasant meat, such as his father loued.
15 Alò, Rebecca te pran pi bon vètman Ésaü a, pi gran fis li a, ki te avèk li nan kay la, e te mete yo sou Jacob, pi jèn fis li a.
And Rebekah tooke faire clothes of her elder sonne Esau, which were in her house, and clothed Iaakob her yonger sonne:
16 Li te mete po kabrit sou men li, ak nan pati kou li ki te swa.
And she couered his hands and the smoothe of his necke with the skinnes of the kiddes of the goates.
17 Osi li te bay Jacob, fis li a, manje bon gou a avèk pen ke li te fè a.
Afterward she put the pleasant meate and bread, which she had prepared, in the hand of her sonne Iaakob.
18 Konsa, li te vini kote papa l, e te di: “Papa m.” Epi li te di: “Men mwen. Kilès ou ye, fis mwen?”
And when he came to his father, he sayd, My father. Who answered, I am here: who art thou, my sonne?
19 Jacob te di a papa l: “Mwen menm se Ésaü, premye ne ou a. Mwen te fè sa ou te mande m nan. Leve, souple, e chita pou manje nan jibye mwen an, pou nanm ou kapab beni mwen.”
And Iaakob sayde to his father, I am Esau thy first borne, I haue done as thou badest me, arise, I pray thee: sit vp and eate of my venison, that thy soule may blesse me.
20 Isaac te di fis li a: “Kòman ou reyisi fè sa vit konsa, fis mwen?” Epi li te di: “Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a te fè sa rive m.”
Then Izhak said vnto his sonne, Howe hast thou founde it so quickly my sonne? Who sayde, Because the Lord thy God brought it to mine hande.
21 Alò, Isaac te di Jacob: “Souple, vin pi pre pou m kapab manyen ou, fis mwen, pou si ou se vrèman fis mwen an Ésaü, o non.”
Againe sayde Izhak vnto Iaakob, Come neere nowe, that I may feele thee, my sonne, whether thou be that my sonne Esau or not.
22 Jacob te pwoche papa li. Li te manyen li, e te di: “Vwa a se vwa a Jacob, men men yo se men Ésaü.”:
Then Iaakob came neere to Izhak his father, and he felt him and sayd, The voyce is Iaakobs voyce, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23 Li pa t rekonèt li, paske men li te kouvri avèk plim tankou men frè l la, Ésaü. Epi akoz sa, li te beni li.
(For he knewe him not, because his hands were rough as his brother Esaus hands: wherefore he blessed him)
24 Li te di: “Èske vrèman ou se fis mwen an, Ésaü?” Epi li te reponn: “Se Mwen.”
Againe he sayd, Art thou that my sonne Esau? Who answered, Yea.
25 Konsa, li te di: “Pote ban mwen, e mwen va manje nan jibye fis mwen an, pou m kapab beni ou.” Li te pote ba li, e li te manje. Li te osi pote diven e li te bwè.
Then said he, Bring it me hither, and I will eate of my sonnes venison, that my soule may blesse thee. And he brought it to him, and he ate: also he brought him wine, and he dranke.
26 Epi Isaac, papa li, te di li: “Souple, pwoche pou bo m, fis mwen.”
Afterward his father Izhak sayd vnto him, Come neere nowe, and kisse me, my sonne.
27 Li te vin pre, e te bo li. Lè li te santi sant vètman li, li te beni li, e te di: “Ou wè, sant fis mwen an tankou sant a yon chan ke SENYÈ a te beni.
And hee came neere and kissed him. Then he smellled the sauour of his garmentes, and blessed him, and sayde, Behold, the smelll of my sonne is as the smelll of a fielde, which the Lord hath blessed.
28 Koulye a, ke Bondye kapab ba ou lawouze syèl la, ak grès tè a, anpil sereyal chan avèk diven nèf.
God giue thee therefore of the dewe of heauen, and the fatnesse of the earth, and plentie of wheate and wine.
29 Ke anpil pèp vin sèvi ou, e ke nasyon yo bese devan ou. Vin mèt sou frè ou yo, e lese fis a manman ou yo vin bese a ou menm. Modi va sila ki modi ou yo. Beni va sila ki beni ou yo.”
Let people bee thy seruantes, and nations bowe vnto thee: be Lord ouer thy brethren, and let thy mothers children honour thee. cursed be he that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
30 Depi li rive ke Isaac te fin beni Jacob, e Jacob te apèn sòti nan prezans Isaac, papa l, Ésaü, frè l la te vin sòti nan fè lachas.
And when Izhak had made an ende of blessing Iaakob, and Iaakob was scarce gone out from the presence of Izhak his father, then came Esau his brother from his hunting,
31 Li menm tou te fè manje bon gou, e li te pote l bay papa l. Li te di a papa l: “Ke papa m leve manje nan jibye fis li a, pou ou kapab beni mwen.”
And hee also prepared sauourie meate and brought it to his father, and sayd vnto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his sonnes venison, that thy soule may blesse me.
32 Isaac, papa li te di: “Kilès ou ye?” Konsa, li te di: “Mwen se fis ou, premye ne a, Ésaü.”
But his father Izhak sayde vnto him, Who art thou? And he answered, I am thy sonne, euen thy first borne Esau.
33 Alò, Isaac te vin tranble avèk vyolans, e te di: “Alò kilès sa ki te fè lachas jibye a, ki te pote ban mwen, ke m te manje tout li avan ou te vini, e ke mwen te beni li an? Wi, e li va beni.”
Then Izhak was stricken with a marueilous great feare, and sayde, Who and where is hee that hunted venison, and brought it mee, and I haue eate of all before thou camest? and I haue blessed him, therefore he shalbe blessed.
34 Lè Ésaü te tande pawòl a papa li yo, li te kriye avèk gwo kri ak yon vwa byen fò, e li te di papa l: “Beni m tou o papa mwen.”
When Esau heard the wordes of his father, he cryed out with a great crye and bitter, out of measure, and sayde vnto his father, Blesse me, euen me also, my father.
35 Men li te reponn: “Frè ou a te vini twonpe m, e li te rache benediksyon ou an.”
Who answered, Thy brother came with subtiltie, and hath taken away thy blessing.
36 Li te di: “Èske se pa t yon verite yo te nonmen li Jacob, paske li te pran plas mwen de fwa sa yo? Li te pran dwa nesans mwen an, e gade, koulye a li pran benediksyon mwen.” Epi li te di: “Èske ou pa t rezève yon benediksyon pou mwen?”
Then he sayde, Was hee not iustly called Iaakob? for hee hath deceiued mee these two times: he tooke my birthright, and loe, nowe hath he taken my blessing. Also he sayd, Hast thou not reserued a blessing for me?
37 Isaac te reponn Ésaü: “Gade byen, mwen te fè li mèt ou, e tout moun nan fanmi li, mwen te bay li yo kòm sèvitè. Avèk sereyal avèk diven nèf mwen te bay li soutyen. Alò, pou ou, kisa m kapab fè, fis mwen?”
Then Izhak answered, and sayd vnto Esau, Beholde, I haue made him thy lorde, and all his brethre haue I made his seruants: also with wheate and wine haue I furnished him, and vnto thee now what shall I doe, my sonne?
38 Ésaü te di a papa li: “Èske se yon sèl benediksyon ou genyen, papa mwen? Beni mwen menm tou, o papa m.” Konsa, Ésaü te leve vwa l e te kriye.
Then Esau sayde vnto his father, Hast thou but one blessing my father? blesse mee, euen me also, my father: and Esau lifted vp his voyce, and wept.
39 Alò, Isaac, papa l te reponn e te di li: “Gade byen, nan grès bon tè fètil ou va rete, e lwen lawouze k ap soti anwo syèl la.
Then Izhak his father answered, and sayde vnto him, Behold, the fatnesse of the earth shall be thy dwelling place, and thou shalt haue of the dewe of heauen from aboue.
40 Pa nepe ou, ou va viv, e frè ou a, ou va sèvi li. Men li va rive ke lè ou vin toumante, ou va kase jouk la sou kou ou.”
And by thy sword shalt thou liue, and shalt be thy brothers seruant. But it shall come to passe, when thou shalt get the masterie, that thou shalt breake his yoke from thy necke.
41 Epi Ésaü te pote yon rayisman kont Jacob akoz benediksyon an ke papa l te beni li. Konsa, Ésaü te di nan kè l: “Jou doulè pou mò papa m prèt pou fini, alò, mwen va touye frè m, Jacob.”
Therefore Esau hated Iaakob, because of the blessing, wherewith his father blessed him. And Esau thought in his minde, The dayes of mourning for my father will come shortly, then I will slay may brother Iaakob.
42 Alò, lè pawòl pi gran fis la te rive a Rebecca, li te voye rele pi jèn fis li a, Jacob, e te di li: “Gade byen, frè ou a, Ésaü ap plenyen li menm de ou menm avèk entansyon pou touye ou.
And it was told to Rebekah of the wordes of Esau her elder sonne, and shee sent and called Iaakob her yonger sonne, and sayd vnto him, Beholde, thy brother Esau is comforted against thee, meaning to kill thee:
43 Pou sa, fis mwen, obeyi vwa m, e leve sove ale Charan, vè frè mwen, Laban!
Now therefore my sonne, heare my voyce, arise, and flee thou to Haran to my brother Laban,
44 Rete avè l pandan kèk jou jiskaske kòlè frè ou a vin bese,
And tarie with him a while vntill thy brothers fiercenesse be swaged,
45 jiskaske kòlè frè ou a vin bese, e bliye sa ou te fè li a. Alò, mwen va voye chache ou la. Poukisa mwen ta oblije pèdi nou toude nan yon sèl jou?”
And till thy brothers wrath turne away from thee, and hee forget the thinges, which thou hast done to him: then will I sende and take thee from thence: why shoulde I bee depriued of you both in one day?
46 Rebecca te di Isaac: “Mwen bouke viv akoz fi Heth yo. Si Jacob pran yon fanm nan fi a Heth yo, tankou sila, nan fi peyi yo, ki byen ki kab rive nan vi m?”
Also Rebekah said to Izhak, I am weary of my life, for the daughters of Heth. If Iaakob take a wife of the daughters of Heth like these of the daughters of the lande, what auaileth it me to liue?
