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 Rachel seeth that she hath not borne to Jacob, and Rachel is envious of her sister, and saith unto Jacob, 'Give me sons, and if there is none — 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 burneth against Rachel, and he saith, 'Am I in stead of God 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 saith, 'Lo, my handmaid Bilhah, go in unto her, and she doth bear on my knees, and I am built up, even I, from her;'

4 Epi li te ba li sèvant li, Bilha kòm madanm, e li te antre nan relasyon avèk li.

and she giveth to him Bilhah her maid-servant for a wife, and Jacob goeth in unto her;

5 Bilha te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis pou Jacob.

and Bilhah conceiveth, and beareth to 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 saith, 'God hath decided for me, and also hath hearkened to my voice, and giveth to me a son;' therefore hath 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-servant, conceiveth again, and beareth a second son to Jacob,

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 saith, 'With wrestlings of God I have wrestled with my sister, yea, I have prevailed;' and she calleth his name Napthali.

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.

And Leah seeth that she hath ceased from bearing, and she taketh Zilpah her maid-servant, and giveth her to Jacob for a wife;

10 Sèvant a Léa a, Zilpa te fè yon fis pou Jacob.

and Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth to Jacob a son,

11 Konsa, Léa te di: “A la chans!” Epi li te nonmen li Gad.

and Leah saith, 'A troop is coming;' and she calleth his name Gad.

12 Sèvant Léa a, Zilpa te fè pou Jacob yon dezyèm fis.

And Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth a second son to Jacob,

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 saith, 'Because of my happiness, for daughters have pronounced me happy;' and she calleth 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 goeth in the days of wheat-harvest, and findeth love-apples in the field, and bringeth them in unto Leah, his mother, and Rachel saith unto Leah, 'Give to me, I pray thee, of the love-apples of thy son.'

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 saith to her, 'Is thy taking my husband a little thing, that thou hast taken also the love-apples of my son?' and Rachel saith, 'Therefore doth he lie with thee to-night, for thy son's love-apples.'

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 cometh in from the field at evening; and Leah goeth to meet him, and saith, 'Unto me dost thou come in, for hiring I have hired thee with my son's love-apples;' and he lieth with her during that night.

17 Bondye te okipe Léa, e li te fè yon senkyèm fis pou Jacob.

And God hearkeneth unto Leah, and she conceiveth, and beareth to Jacob a son, a fifth,

18 Epi Léa te di: “Bondye te ban mwen salè mwen, akoz ke m te bay sèvant mwen an a mari mwen.”

and Leah saith, 'God hath given my hire, because I have given my maid-servant to my husband;' and she calleth his name Issachar.

19 Léa te vin ansent ankò, e li te fè yon sizyèm fis pou Jacob.

And conceive again doth Leah, and she beareth a sixth son to Jacob,

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 saith, 'God hath endowed me — a good dowry; this time doth my husband dwell with me, for I have borne to him six sons;' and she calleth his name Zebulun;

21 Apre sa li te fè yon fi, e li te nonmen li Dina.

and afterwards hath she born a daughter, and calleth her name Dinah.

22 Alò, Bondye te sonje Rachel. Li te okipe li, e Li te louvri vant li.

And God remembereth Rachel, and God hearkeneth unto her, and openeth her womb,

23 Konsa, li te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis. Konsa, li te di: “Bondye retire repwòch mwen.”

and she conceiveth and beareth a son, and saith, 'God hath gathered up my reproach;'

24 Li te rele li Joseph, e li te di: “Ke SENYÈ a ban m yon lòt fis.”

and she calleth his name Joseph, saying, 'Jehovah is adding 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 cometh to pass, when Rachel hath borne Joseph, that Jacob saith unto Laban, 'Send me away, and I go unto my place, and to my land;

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 up my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and I go; for thou — thou hast known my service which I have served 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 saith unto him, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes — I have observed diligently that Jehovah doth bless me for thy sake.'

28 Li te pale toujou: “Nonmen salè ou, e mwen va ba ou li”.

He saith also, 'Define thy hire to me, and I give.'

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 saith unto him, 'Thou — thou hast known that which I have served thee [in], and that which thy substance was 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 is] little which thou hast had at my appearance, and it breaketh forth into a multitude, and Jehovah blesseth thee at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for mine own house?'

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 saith, 'What do I give to thee?' And Jacob saith, 'Thou dost not give me anything; if thou do for me this thing, I turn back; I have delight; thy flock I watch;

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 pass through all thy flock to-day to turn aside from thence every sheep speckled and spotted, and every brown sheep among the lambs, and speckled and spotted among the goats — and it hath been 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.”

and my righteousness hath answered for me in the day to come, when it cometh in for my hire before thy face; — every one which is not speckled and spotted among [my] goats, and brown among [my] lambs — it is stolen with me.'

34 Laban te di li: “Sa bon. Kite sa fèt selon pawòl ou.”

And Laban saith, 'Lo, O that it were 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 turneth aside during that day the ring-streaked and the spotted he-goats, and all the speckled and the spotted she-goats, every one that [hath] white in it, and every brown one among the lambs, and he giveth into the hand 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 setteth a journey of three days between himself and Jacob; and Jacob is feeding the rest of the flock of Laban.

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 taketh to himself a rod of fresh poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut, and doth peel in them white peelings, making bare the white that [is] on 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 setteth up the rods which he hath peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs (when the flock cometh in to drink), over-against the flock, that they may conceive in their coming in 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 conceive at the rods, and the flock beareth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted ones.

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 the lambs hath Jacob parted, and he putteth the face of the flock towards the ring-streaked, also all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he setteth his own droves by themselves, and hath not set them near Laban's flock.

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 hath come to pass whenever the strong ones of the flock conceive, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, to cause them to conceive by 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.

and when the flock is feeble, he doth not set [them]; and the feeble ones have been Laban's, and the strong ones 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 increaseth very exceedingly, and hath many flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
