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 it cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, 'My son;' and he saith unto him, 'Here [am] I.'
2 Isaac te di: “Gade byen, koulye a, mwen vin vye. Mwen pa konnen jou ke m ap mouri an.
And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known 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.
and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,
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.”
and make for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless 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,
And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision — to bring in;
6 Rebecca te di fis li a, Jacob: “Veye byen, mwen te tande papa ou pale ak frè ou a Ésaü. Li te di:
and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, 'Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto 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 for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
8 Alò, pou sa, fis mwen, koute lòd ke mwen pral ba ou a.
'And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding 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.
Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved;
10 Konsa, ou va pote li bay papa ou, pou li kapab manje, pou li kapab beni ou avan ke li mouri”.
and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless 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.
And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, 'Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I 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.”
it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, 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.”
and his mother saith to him, 'On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take 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.
And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath 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.
and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put on Jacob her younger son;
16 Li te mete po kabrit sou men li, ak nan pati kou li ki te swa.
and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put 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.
and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.
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 he cometh in unto his father, and saith, 'My father;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I; who [art] thou, 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.”
And Jacob saith unto his father, 'I [am] Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth 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.”
And Isaac saith unto his son, 'What [is] this thou hast hasted to find, my son?' and he saith, 'That which Jehovah thy God hath caused to come before me.'
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.”
And Isaac saith unto Jacob, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, and I feel thee, my son, whether thou [art] he, 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.”:
And Jacob cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he feeleth him, and saith, 'The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands 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.
And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,
24 Li te di: “Èske vrèman ou se fis mwen an, Ésaü?” Epi li te reponn: “Se Mwen.”
and saith, 'Thou art he — my son Esau?' and he saith, '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.
And he saith, 'Bring nigh to me, and I do eat of my son's provision, so that my soul doth bless thee;' and he bringeth nigh to him, and he eateth; and he bringeth to him wine, and he drinketh.
26 Epi Isaac, papa li, te di li: “Souple, pwoche pou bo m, fis mwen.”
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, 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.
and he cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, 'See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which Jehovah hath blessed;
28 Koulye a, ke Bondye kapab ba ou lawouze syèl la, ak grès tè a, anpil sereyal chan avèk diven nèf.
and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn 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.”
peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] blessed.'
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 it cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come 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.”
and he also maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his father, and saith to his father, 'Let my father arise, and eat of his son's provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.'
32 Isaac, papa li te di: “Kilès ou ye?” Konsa, li te di: “Mwen se fis ou, premye ne a, Ésaü.”
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Who [art] thou?' and he saith, 'I [am] thy son, thy first-born, 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.”
and Isaac trembleth a very great trembling, and saith, 'Who, now, [is] he who hath provided provision, and bringeth in to me, and I eat of all before thou comest in, and I bless him? — yea, blessed is he.'
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 heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, 'Bless me, me also, O my father;'
35 Men li te reponn: “Frè ou a te vini twonpe m, e li te rache benediksyon ou an.”
and he saith, 'Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh 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?”
And he saith, 'Is it because [one] called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;' he saith also, 'Hast thou not kept back 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?”
And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, 'Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, 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.
And Esau saith unto his father, 'One blessing hast thou my father? bless me, me also, O my father;' and Esau lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.
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.
And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, 'Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens 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.”
and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken his yoke from off thy 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.”
And Esau hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, 'The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay Jacob my brother.'
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 the words of Esau her elder son are declared to Rebekah, and she sendeth and calleth for Jacob her younger son, and saith unto him, 'Lo, Esau thy brother is comforting himself in regard to thee — to slay thee;
43 Pou sa, fis mwen, obeyi vwa m, e leve sove ale Charan, vè frè mwen, Laban!
and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,
44 Rete avè l pandan kèk jou jiskaske kòlè frè ou a vin bese,
and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's fury turn back,
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?”
till thy brother's anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same 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?”
And Rebekah saith unto Isaac, 'I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these — from the daughters of the land — why do I live?'
