Jenèz 30
1 Alò, lè Rachel te wè ke li pa t fè pitit pou Jacob, li te vin jalou. Li te di a Jacob: “Ban mwen pitit, oswa, m ap mouri.”
And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
2 Epi chalè Jacob te brile kont Rachel. Li te di: “Èske mwen nan plas Bondye, ki te anpeche vant ou bay fwi a?”
And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said, [Am] I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
3 Li te reponn: “Men sèvant mwen an, Bilha, antre an relasyon avèk li pou li kapab pouse fè sou jenou mwen yo. Konsa, pa li menm, mwen kapab fè timoun tou.”
And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in to her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
4 Epi li te ba li sèvant li, Bilha kòm madanm, e li te antre nan relasyon avèk li.
And she gave him Bilhah, her handmaid, for a wife: and Jacob went in to her.
5 Bilha te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis pou Jacob.
And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
6 Alò, Rachel te di: “Bondye te ban mwen rezon. Li te vrèman tande vwa m, e Li te ban mwen yon fis.” Pou sa, li te nonmen li Dan.
And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore she called his name Dan.
7 Sèvant a Rachel la, Bilha te vin ansent ankò, e li te fè pou Jacob yon dezyèm fis.
And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
8 Alò, Rachel te di: “Avèk gwo lit mwen te mennen avèk sè mwen an, mwen te vrèman vin genyen l.” Epi li te nonmen li Nephtali.
And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
9 Lè Léa te wè ke li pa t fè pitit ankò, li te pran sèvant li a, Zilpa, e li te bay li a Jacob kòm madanm.
When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah, her maid, and gave her Jacob for a wife.
10 Sèvant a Léa a, Zilpa te fè yon fis pou Jacob.
And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore Jacob a son.
11 Konsa, Léa te di: “A la chans!” Epi li te nonmen li Gad.
And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
12 Sèvant Léa a, Zilpa te fè pou Jacob yon dezyèm fis.
And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore Jacob a second son.
13 Epi Léa te di: “A la kontan mwen kontan! Pou sa, fanm yo va rele mwen kontan.” Epi li te nonmen li Aser.
And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
14 Alò, nan jou rekòlt ble yo, Reuben te sòti pou twouve mandragò nan chan an, e li te pote yo bay manman li, Léa. Alò, Rachel te di a Léa: “Souple, ban m kèk nan mandragò fis ou yo.”
And Reuben went, in the days of wheat-harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
15 Men Léa te di l: “Èske se yon ti bagay sa ye pou ou pou pran mari mwen? Konsa, èske ou ta renmen pran mandragò a fis mwen yo tou?” Rachel te reponn: “Pou sa, li kapab kouche avè ou aswè a, kòm twòk pou mandragò a fis ou yo.”
And she said to her, [Is it] a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.
16 Lè Jacob te sòti nan chan an nan aswè, alò, Léa te sòti pou rankontre li. Li te di l: “Ou oblije antre an relasyon ak mwen aswè a, paske vrèman mwen te achte ou avèk mandragò a fis mwen yo.” Epi li te kouche avèk li nan nwit lan.
And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
17 Bondye te okipe Léa, e li te fè yon senkyèm fis pou Jacob.
And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son.
18 Epi Léa te di: “Bondye te ban mwen salè mwen, akoz ke m te bay sèvant mwen an a mari mwen.”
And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
19 Léa te vin ansent ankò, e li te fè yon sizyèm fis pou Jacob.
And Leah conceived again, and bore Jacob the sixth son.
20 Alò Léa te di: “Bondye te ban mwen yon bon kado! Koulye a mari mwen va rete avè m akoz ke mwen fè sis fis pou li.” Alò li te nonmen li Zabulon.
And Leah said, God hath endowed me [with] a good dower; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
21 Apre sa li te fè yon fi, e li te nonmen li Dina.
And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
22 Alò, Bondye te sonje Rachel. Li te okipe li, e Li te louvri vant li.
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and rendered her fruitful.
23 Konsa, li te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis. Konsa, li te di: “Bondye retire repwòch mwen.”
And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
24 Li te rele li Joseph, e li te di: “Ke SENYÈ a ban m yon lòt fis.”
And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD will add to me another son.
25 Alò, li te rive ke lè Rachel te fè Joseph, Jacob te di a Laban: “Voye mwen ale, pou mwen kapab ale nan pwòp plas mwen e nan pwòp peyi mwen.
And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
26 Ban mwen madanm mwen yo, ak pitit mwen yo, pou sila mwen te sèvi ou yo. Kite mwen pati, paske ou menm ou konnen sèvis ke m te rann ou yo.”
Give [me] my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
27 Men Laban te di li: “Si sa fè ou plezi, rete avè m; mwen devine ke Bondye te beni mwen akoz ou menm.”
And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience, that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 Li te pale toujou: “Nonmen salè ou, e mwen va ba ou li”.
And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [it].
29 Men li te di li: “Ou menm ou konnen jan mwen te sèvi ou, ak jan bèt ou yo te byen okipe avè m.
And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle were with me.
30 Paske ou pa t gen anpil lè m te vini an, yo vin miltipliye anpil, e SENYÈ a te beni ou tout kote ke m vire. Men koulye a, se lè pou mwen okipe pwòp lakay mwen tou?”
For [it was] little which thou hadst before I [came], and it is [now] increased to a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for my own house also?
31 Epi Laban te di: “Kisa mwen kapab ba ou?” Epi Jacob te reponn: “Ou pa bezwen ban m anyen. Si w ap fè yon sèl bagay pou mwen, mwen va okipe bann ou yo ankò, epi kenbe yo.
And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed [and] keep thy flock:
32 Kite mwen pase nan tout bann mouton ou yo, pou retire chak mouton ki takte, oswa trase, avèk tout sa ki nwa pami ti mouton yo, chak sa ki takte oswa trase pami kabrit yo. Se sa yo ki va sèvi kòm salè mwen.
I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and [of such] shall be my hire.
33 Konsa entegrite mwen va reponn pou mwen pita, lè ou vin parèt konsènan salè mwen. Chak sa ki pa takte, oswa trase pami kabrit yo, e ki nwa pami jenn mouton yo, si li twouve avè m, konsidere ke mwen te vòlè l.”
So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that [is] not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be accounted stolen with me.
34 Laban te di li: “Sa bon. Kite sa fèt selon pawòl ou.”
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
35 Alò, nan menm jou sa a, li te rete tout mal kabrit ki te trase, oswa takte, ak tout femèl kabrit ki te takte, chak ki te gen blan ladann, ak tout nwa pami mouton yo, e li te bay fis li yo okipe yo.
And he removed that day the he-goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted; every one that had [some] white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave [them] into the hands of his sons.
36 Epi li te mete yon distans twa jou antre li menm avèk Jacob, e Jacob te bay manje a tout rès bann mouton yo pou Laban.
And he set three days' journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 Jacob te pran bwa vèt nan pye sikrèn, pye zanmann, ak pye bwadòm, e li te kale tras blan nan yo pou fè parèt blan ki te nan bwa yo.
And Jacob took to him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which [was] in the rods.
38 Li te plase bwa li te kale yo devan bann mouton yo, nan flèv dlo yo, e nan basen dlo kote bann mouton yo te vin bwè a. Se la yo te kwaze lè yo te vin pou bwè.
And he set the rods, which he had peeled, before the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs, when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
39 Alò, bann mouton yo te kwaze kote bwa kale yo, e yo te fè pote sa ki te trase, takte e pentle yo.
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 Jacob te separe ti mouton yo, e te fè bann mouton yo rete anfas, pou yo t ap gade tout sa ki te trase yo, ak tout nwa yo, ki te nan bann mouton Laban yo. Li te mete pwòp bann mouton li yo apa, pou yo pa t avèk bann mouton Laban yo.
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban: and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban's cattle.
41 Anplis de sa, nenpòt kilè bèt ki pi fò nan bann mouton yo ta kwaze, Jacob ta mete bwa yo devan zye a bèt ki nan basen dlo yo, pou yo ta kwaze akote bwa yo;
And it came to pass, whenever the stronger cattle conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
42 men lè bann mouton an te fèb, li pa t mete yo ladann. Konsa pi fèb yo te vin pou Laban, e pi fò yo pou Jacob.
But when the cattle were feeble, he put [them] not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 Konsa, nonm nan te vin pwospere anpil. Li te vin gen gwo bann mouton, sèvant ak sèvitè, chamo avèk bourik.
And the man increased exceedingly, and had many cattle, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
