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.”
Than Isaac called Iacob his sonne and blessed him ad charged him and sayde vnto him: se thou take not a wife of the doughters 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.
but aryse ad gett the to Mesopotamia to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father: and there take the a wife of the doughters of Laban thi 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 allmightie blesse the increase the and multiplie the that thou mayst be a nombre 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 geue the the blessynge of Abraham: both to the and to thy seed with the that thou mayst possesse the lade (wherein thou art a strangere) 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 Isaac sent forth Iacob to goo to Mesopotamia vnto Laban sonne of Bethuel the Sirien and brother to Rebecca Iacobs 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 Isaac had blessed Iacob and sent him to Mesopotamia to fett him a wife thence and that as he blessed him he gaue him a charge saynge: se thou take not a wife of the doughters of Canaan:
7 epi ke Jacob te obeyi papa li, ak manman li, li te ale Paddan-Aram.
and that Iacob had obeyed his father and mother and was gone vnto Mesopotamia:
8 Konsa Ésaü te wè ke fi Canaan yo pa t plè papa li Isaac.
and seynge also that the doughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac 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 he vnto Ismael and toke vnto the wiues which he had Mahala the doughter of Ismael Abrahams sonne the sister of Nabaioth to be his wife.
10 Konsa, Jacob te kite Beer-Schéba e te ale vè Charan.
Iacob departed from Berseba and went toward 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 came vnto a place and taried there all nyghte because the sonne was downe. And toke a stone of the place and put it vnder his heade and layde him downe in the same place to slepe.
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.
And he dreamed: and beholde there stode a ladder apon the erth and the topp of it reached vpp to heaue. And se the angells of God went vp and downe apon 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.
yee ad the LORde stode apon it and sayde. I am the LORde God of Abraham thi father and the God of Isaac: The londe which thou slepest apon will I geue the and thy seed.
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 seed shalbe as the dust of the erth: And thou shalt spreade abrode: west east north and south. And thorow the and thy seed shall all the kynreddes of the erth 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 se I am with the and wylbe thy keper in all places whother thou goost and wyll brynge ye agayne in to this lande: Nether will I leaue the vntill I haue made good all that I haue promysed the.
16 Alò, Jacob te leve nan dòmi an, e li te di: “Anverite SENYÈ a nan plas sila a, e mwen pa t konnen.”
When Iacob was awaked out of his slepe he sayde: surely the LORde is in this place ad 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 afrayde and sayde how fearfull is this place? it is none other but euen the house of God and the gate of heaue.
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.
And Iacob stode vp early in the mornynge and toke the stone that he had layde vnder his heade and pitched it vp an ende and poured oyle on the topp of it.
19 Li te rele plas sa a Béthel, men oparavan non a vil sa a se te Luz.
And he called the name of the place Bethell for in dede the name of the citie was called Lus before tyme.
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,
And Iacob vowed a vowe saynge: Yf God will be with me and wyll kepe me in this iourney which I goo and will geue me bread to eate and cloothes to put on
21 pou m ka retounen lakay papa m anpè, pou SENYÈ a va Bondye pa m,
so that I come agayne vnto my fathers house in saftie: then shall the LORde 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 sett vp an ende shalbe godes house And of all that thou shalt geue me will I geue the tenth vnto the.
