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.”
When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
2 Isaac te di: “Gade byen, koulye a, mwen vin vye. Mwen pa konnen jou ke m ap mouri an.
He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know 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.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me 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.”
Make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you 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,
Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field 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:
Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your 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 me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
8 Alò, pou sa, fis mwen, koute lòd ke mwen pral ba ou a.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
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.
Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savoury food for your father, such as he loves.
10 Konsa, ou va pote li bay papa ou, pou li kapab manje, pou li kapab beni ou avan ke li mouri”.
You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you 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.
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
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.”
What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, 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.”
His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
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.
He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
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.
Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
16 Li te mete po kabrit sou men li, ak nan pati kou li ki te swa.
She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
17 Osi li te bay Jacob, fis li a, manje bon gou a avèk pen ke li te fè a.
She gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 Konsa, li te vini kote papa l, e te di: “Papa m.” Epi li te di: “Men mwen. Kilès ou ye, fis mwen?”
He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
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.”
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless 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.”
Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because the LORD your God gave me success.”
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.”
Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son 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.”:
Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, 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.
He didn’t recognise him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
24 Li te di: “Èske vrèman ou se fis mwen an, Ésaü?” Epi li te reponn: “Se Mwen.”
He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”
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.
He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Epi Isaac, papa li, te di li: “Souple, pwoche pou bo m, fis mwen.”
His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”
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.
He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed.
28 Koulye a, ke Bondye kapab ba ou lawouze syèl la, ak grès tè a, anpil sereyal chan avèk diven nèf.
God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new 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 peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
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.
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in 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.”
He also made savoury food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”
32 Isaac, papa li te di: “Kilès ou ye?” Konsa, li te di: “Mwen se fis ou, premye ne a, Ésaü.”
Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, 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.”
Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be 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 words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
35 Men li te reponn: “Frè ou a te vini twonpe m, e li te rache benediksyon ou an.”
He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your 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?”
He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved 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?”
Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”
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.
Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, 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.
Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky from above.
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.”
You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
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.”
Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
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.
The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
43 Pou sa, fis mwen, obeyi vwa m, e leve sove ale Charan, vè frè mwen, Laban!
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
44 Rete avè l pandan kèk jou jiskaske kòlè frè ou a vin bese,
Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
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?”
until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved 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?”
Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
