Jenèz 29
1 Alò, Jacob te ale nan vwayaj li a, e li te vini nan peyi ki te pou fis a lès yo.
Then Iaakob lift vp his feete and came into the East countrey.
2 Lè li te gade, li te wè yon pwi nan chan an, e gade byen, te gen twa bann mouton ki te kouche la akote li, paske se te avèk pwi sa a ke yo te bay tout bèt yo dlo. Alò, wòch la sou bouch pwi a te byen laj.
And as he looked about, behold there was a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheepe lay thereby (for at that well were the flockes watered) and there was a great stone vpon the welles mouth.
3 Lè tout bèje mouton yo te rasanble la, yo te konn woule wòch la sòti nan bouch pwi a, pou te bay mouton yo dlo, e te remete wòch la nan plas li sou bouch pwi a.
And thither were all the flockes gathered, and they rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered the sheepe, and put the stone againe vpon the welles mouth in his place.
4 Jacob te di yo: “Frè m yo, kibò nou sòti?”: Yo te reponn: “Nou sòti nan Charan.”
And Iaakob sayde vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran.
5 Li te di yo: “Èske nou konnen Laban, fis Nachor a?” Epi yo te di: “Nou konnen li.”
Then he sayd vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? Who said, We know him.
6 Li te mande yo: “Èske tout bagay ale byen pou li?” Epi yo te reponn: “Wi, tout bagay ale byen pou li. Men fi li a, Rachel k ap vini avèk mouton yo.”
Againe he sayd vnto them, Is he in good health? And they answered, He is in good health, and beholde, his daughter Rahel commeth with the sheepe.
7 Li te di: “Gade byen, li toujou gwo lajounen; li poko lè pou rasanble bèt. Bay bèt yo dlo, e mete yo nan patiraj toujou.”
Then he sayd, Lo, it is yet hie day, neither is it time that the cattell shoulde be gathered together: water ye the sheepe and go feede them.
8 Men yo te di: “Nou pa kapab jiskaske tout bèje mouton yo fin rasanble, e yo woule wòch la sòti nan bouch pwi a. Se nan lè sa a nou va bay mouton yo dlo.”
But they sayde, We may not vntill all the flocks be brought together, and till men rolle the stone from the welles mouth, that we may water the sheepe.
9 Pandan li t ap pale avèk yo, Rachel te parèt avèk mouton papa l yo, paske li te yon bèje.
While he talked with them, Rahel also came with her fathers sheepe, for she kept them.
10 Lè Jacob te wè Rachel, fi Laban an, frè manman li, ak mouton Laban yo, frè manman l, Jacob te pwoche. Li te woule wòch la sòti nan pwi a, e li te bay dlo a bann mouton Laban an, frè manman l lan.
And assoone as Iaakob saw Rahel ye daughter of Laban his mothers brother, and the sheepe of Laban his mothers brother, then came Iaakob neere, and rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered ye flocke of Laban his mothers brother.
11 Epi Jacob te bo Rachel. Li te leve vwa li, e li te kriye.
And Iaakob kissed Rahel, and lift vp his voyce and wept.
12 Jacob te di Rachel ke li te yon moun fanmi papa l, e ke li te fis a Rebecca. Li te kouri di papa l sa.
(For Iaakob tolde Rahel, that he was her fathers brother, and that he was Rebekahs sonne) then she ranne and tolde her father.
13 Alò, lè Laban te tande nouvèl Jacob la, fis a sè li, li te kouri pou ale rankontre avè l e te anbrase li. Li te bo li, e te mennen li lakay li. Konsa, Jacob te eksplike Laban tout bagay sa yo.
And when Laban heard tell of Iaakob his sisters sonne, he ranne to meete him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house: and he tolde Laban all these things.
14 Laban te di li: “Anverite, ou se zo mwen avèk chè mwen.” Konsa, li te rete avèk li pandan yon mwa.
To whome Laban sayd, Well, thou art my bone and my flesh. and he abode with him the space of a moneth.
15 Alò Laban te di a Jacob: “Akoz ke ou se moun fanmi mwen, èske sa vle di ke ou ta dwe sèvi mwen gratis? Di m, kisa pou m bay ou kòm salè?”
For Laban sayde vnto Iaakob, Though thou be my brother, shouldest thou therfore serue me for nought? tell me, what shalbe thy wages?
16 Alò, Laban te gen de fi. Non pi gran an se te Léa, e lòt la se te Rachel.
Now Laban had two daughters, the elder called Leah, and the yonger called Rahel.
17 Epi zye a Léa yo te fèb, men Rachel te byen bèl nan figi l, ni nan fòm li.
And Leah was tender eyed, but Rahel was beautifull and faire.
18 Alò Jacob te renmen Rachel, e konsa li te di: “Mwen va sèvi ou pandan sèt ane pou fi ou ki pi jèn nan, Rachel.”
And Iaakob loued Rahel, and sayde, I will serue thee seuen yeeres for Rahel thy yonger daughter.
19 Laban te di: “Li pi bon pou m bay ou li pase pou m ta bay li a yon lòt gason. Rete avè m.”
Then Laban answered, It is better that I giue her thee, then that I should giue her to another man: abide with me.
20 Jacob te sèvi sèt ane pou Rachel, men yo te parèt a li menm kòmsi se te kèk jou akoz lamou li te gen pou li.
And Iaakob serued seuen yeres for Rahel, and they seemed vnto him but a few dayes, because he loued her.
21 Konsa, Jacob te di a Laban: “Ban mwen madanm mwen, paske tan mwen an gen tan fin konplete, pou m kapab antre nan relasyon avè l.”
Then Iaakob sayde to Laban, Giue me my wife, that I may goe in to her: for my terme is ended.
22 Laban te rasanble tout mesye yo nan plas la, e li te fè yon gwo fèt.
Wherefore Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 Men nan aswè, li te pran fi li, Léa, e li te mennen li kote Jacob. Li te antre an relasyon avèk li.
But whe the euening was come, he tooke Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in vnto her.
24 Laban osi te bay sèvant li, Zilpa, pou Léa kòm sèvant.
And Laban gaue his mayde Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her seruant.
25 Nan maten, gade byen, li vin parèt ke se te Léa! Konsa, li te di a Laban: “Kisa sa ou te fè m la a? “Èske se pa pou Rachel ke m te sèvi ou a? Poukisa ou fè m desepsyon sila a?”
But when the morning was come, behold, it was Leah. Then sayde he to Laban, Wherefore hast thou done thus to mee? did not I serue thee for Rahel? wherfore then hast thou beguiled me?
26 Men Laban te di: “Se pa koutim peyi nou pou fè maryaj a pi jèn nan avan premye ne a.
And Laban answered, It is not the maner of this place, to giue the yonger before the elder.
27 Konplete semèn nan avèk sila a, e nou va bay ou lòt la tou; pou sèvis sa a, ou va sèvi m yon lòt sèt ane.”
Fulfill seuen yeeres for her, and we wil also giue thee this for the seruice, which thou shalt serue me yet seuen yeeres more.
28 Jacob te fè sa, li te konplete semèn nan avèk fi a, e li te ba li fi li, Rachel, kòm madanm li.
Then Iaakob did so, and fulfilled her seuen yeeres, so he gaue him Rahel his daughter to be his wife.
29 Laban osi te bay sèvant li, Bilha a fi li, Rachel kòm sèvant li.
Laban also gaue to Rahel his daughter Bilhah his mayde to be her seruant.
30 Alò, Jacob te antre an relasyon ak Rachel osi, e vrèman, li te renmen Rachel plis ke Léa, e li te sèvi avèk Laban pandan yon lòt sèt ane.
So entred he in to Rahel also, and loued also Rahel more then Leah, and serued him yet seuen yeeres more.
31 Alò, SENYÈ a te wè ke Léa te manke renmen, e Li te ouvri vant li, men Rachel te rete san pitit.
When the Lord saw that Leah was despised, he made her fruitful: but Rahel was barren.
32 Léa te vin ansent. Li te fè yon fis, e li te nonmen li Reuben, paske li te di: “Akoz ke SENYÈ a te wè doulè mwen, asireman koulye a mari mwen va renmen m.”
And Leah conceiued and bare a sonne, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the Lord hath looked vpon my tribulation, now therefore mine husband will loue me.
33 Li te vin ansent ankò, li te fè yon fis, e li te di: “Akoz ke SENYÈ a te tande ke mwen te rayi, pou sa Li te ban mwen fis sila a osi.” Alò, li te bay li non Siméon.
And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and sayde, Because the Lord heard that I was hated, he hath therefore giuen me this sonne also, and she called his name Simeon.
34 Li te vin ansent ankò, li te fè yon fis. Konsa, li te di: “Alò fwa sa a mari mwen va vin atache a mwen, paske mwen te fè twa fis pou li.” Pou sa, li te nonmen li Lévi.
And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and said, Now at this time wil my husband keepe mee company, because I haue borne him three sonnes: therefore was his name called Leui.
35 Epi li te vin ansent ankò. Li te fè yon fis, e li te di: “Fwa sa, mwen va louwe SENYÈ a.” Pou sa li te nonmen li Juda. Epi konsa, li te vin sispann fè pitit.
Moreouer shee conceiued againe and bare a sonne, saying, Nowe will I prayse the Lord: therefore shee called his name Iudah, and left bearing.
