Jenèz 28
1 Alò, Isaac te rele Jacob, li te beni li, li te kòmande li, e li te di: “Ou p ap pran yon fanm nan fi Canaan yo.”
Then Izhak called Iaakob and blessed him, and charged him, and sayde vnto him, Take not a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 “Leve ale Paddan-Aram, lakay Bethuel, papa a manman ou. De la, pran yon madanm pami fi a Laban yo, frè manman ou an.
Arise, get thee to Padan Aram to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father, and thence take thee a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mothers brother.
3 “Ke Bondye Toupwisan an kapab beni ou, bay ou anpil fwi, e fè ou miltipliye pou yo kapab devni yon gran fòs kantite moun.
And God all sufficient blesse thee, and make thee to encrease, and multiplie thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people,
4 Ke li kapab osi bay ou benediksyon Abraham nan, pou ou menm, ak pou desandan ou yo osi, ke ou kapab posede peyi kote w ap demere a, ke Bondye te bay a Abraham nan.”
And giue thee the blessing of Abraham, euen to thee and to thy seede with thee, that thou mayest inherite the lande (wherein thou art a stranger, ) which God gaue vnto Abraham.
5 Alò, Isaac te voye Jacob ale. Li te ale Paddan-Aram a Laban, fis a Bethuel la, Arameyen an, frè Rebecca, manman a Jacob ak Ésaü.
Thus Izhak sent forth Iaakob, and he went to Padan Aram vnto Laban sonne of Bethuel the Aramite, brother to Rebekah, Iaakobs and Esaus mother.
6 Epi Ésaü te wè ke Isaac te beni Jacob e te voye li ale Paddan-Aram pou pran pou li menm yon madanm, e ke lè li te beni li, li te bay li lòd, e te di: “Ou pa pou pran yon madanm nan fi a Canaan yo,”
When Esau sawe that Izhak had blessed Iaakob, and sent him to Padan Aram, to set him a wife thence, and giuen him a charge when he blessed him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan,
7 epi ke Jacob te obeyi papa li, ak manman li, li te ale Paddan-Aram.
And that Iaakob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan Aram:
8 Konsa Ésaü te wè ke fi Canaan yo pa t plè papa li Isaac.
Also Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan displeased Izhak his father,
9 Konsa, Ésaü te ale kote Ismaël, e li te marye, anplis ke madanm yo li te gen deja, Mahalath, fi Ismaël la, fis Abraham nan, sè Nebajoth la.
Then went Esau to Ishmael, and tooke vnto the wiues, which he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, the sister of Nabaioth, to be his wife.
10 Konsa, Jacob te kite Beer-Schéba e te ale vè Charan.
Now Iaakob departed from Beer-sheba, and went to Haran,
11 Li te vini nan yon sèten kote pou te pase nwit lan la, akoz solèy la te gen tan fin kouche. Li te pran youn nan wòch yo, li te mete l anba tèt li, e li te kouche la nan plas sila a.
And he came vnto a certaine place, and taried there al night, because the sunne was downe, and tooke of the stones of the place, and layde vnder his head and slept in the same place.
12 Li te fè yon rèv, e li te gade yon nechèl yo te mete sou latè, tèt li te rive nan syèl la. Epi gade, zanj Bondye yo t ap monte desann sou li.
Then he dreamed, and behold, there stoode a ladder vpon the earth, and the top of it reached vp to heauen: and loe, the Angels of God went vp and downe by it.
13 Epi, gade byen, SENYÈ a te kanpe anwo li. Li te di: “Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye papa Abraham nan ak Bondye Isaac la. Tè sa kote ou kouche a, Mwen va bay ou li pou ou menm ak desandan ou yo.
And behold, the Lord stoode aboue it, and sayd, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Izhak: the land, vpon the which thou sleepest, wil I giue thee and thy seede.
14 Desandan ou yo va tankou pousyè latè, e ou va gaye nan lwès, nan lès, nan nò, ak nan sid. Konsa, nan ou avèk desandan ou yo, tout fanmi sou latè yo va beni.
And thy seede shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the South, and in thee and in thy seede shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 “Gade byen, Mwen avèk ou. Mwen va kenbe ou nenpòt kote ou ale, e Mwen va fè ou retounen nan peyi sa a. Paske Mwen p ap kite ou jiskaske Mwen fin fè tout sa ke M te pwomèt nou an.”
And lo, I am with thee, and wil keepe thee whithersoeuer thou goest, and will bring thee againe into this lande: for I will not forsake thee vntill I haue performed that, that I haue promised thee.
16 Alò, Jacob te leve nan dòmi an, e li te di: “Anverite SENYÈ a nan plas sila a, e mwen pa t konnen.”
Then Iaakob awoke out of his sleepe, and sayde, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware.
17 Li te pè, e li te di: “Alò, A la etonnan plas sa a etonnan! Sila a pa lòt ke lakay Bondye, e sa se pòtay Syèl la.”
And he was afraid, and said, How fearefull is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heauen.
18 Konsa, Jacob te leve bonè nan maten. Li te pran wòch ke li te plase anba tèt li a, e li te etabli li tankou yon pilye. Li te vide lwil sou tèt pilye a.
Then Iaakob rose vp early in the morning, and tooke the stone that hee had layde vnder his head, and set it vp as a pillar, and powred oyle vpon the top of it.
19 Li te rele plas sa a Béthel, men oparavan non a vil sa a se te Luz.
And he called ye name of that place Bethel: notwithstanding the name of the citie was at the first called Luz.
20 Epi Jacob te fè yon sèman. Li te di: “Si Bondye ale avèk mwen, si Li va kenbe mwen nan vwayaj sila ke m ap fè a, e Li va ban mwen manje pou m manje, ak rad pou m mete,
Then Iaakob vowed a vowe, saying, If God will be with me, and will keepe me in this iourney which I go, and wil giue me bread to eate, and clothes to put on:
21 pou m ka retounen lakay papa m anpè, pou SENYÈ a va Bondye pa m,
So that I come againe vnto my fathers house in safetie, then shall the Lord be my God.
22 alò, wòch sila a, ke m etabli tankou pilye a, va devni Lakay Bondye. Nan tout sa ke ou ban mwen, mwen va anverite bay yon dim a Ou menm.”
And this stone, which I haue set vp as a pillar, shall be Gods house: and of all that thou shalt giue me, wil I giue the tenth vnto thee.
