Jenèz 31
1 Alò, Jacob te tande pawòl fis Laban yo ki te vin di: “Jacob te retire tout sa ki te pou papa nou, e avèk sa ki te pou papa nou, li te fè tout richès li.”
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and he has gotten all this glory of that which was our father's.
2 Jacob te wè konpòtman Laban, e gade byen, li pa t emab anvè li jan li te ye avan an.
And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.
3 Epi SENYÈ a te di a Jacob: “Retounen nan peyi a zansèt ou yo, a moun ou yo, e mwen va avèk ou.”
And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return to the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.
4 Alò Jacob te voye rele Rachel avèk Léa vè bann mouton li nan chan an.
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,
5 Konsa, li te di yo: “Mwen wè ke konpòtman papa nou anvè mwen menm pa emab jan li te ye lontan an, men Bondye a papa m nan te avèk mwen.
and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime, but the God of my father has been with me.
6 Nou konnen ke mwen te sèvi papa nou avèk tout fòs mwen.
And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
7 Malgre sa, papa nou te twonpe mwen, e li te chanje salè mwen dis fwa, men Bondye pa t kite li fè m donmaj.
And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.
8 Si li te pale konsa: ‘Takte yo se salè ou’, alò, tout bann mouton yo te bay pitit takte. Epi si li te pale konsa ke trase yo te salè ou, alò tout bann mouton yo te bay pitit trase.
If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages, then all the flock bore speckled, and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be thy wages, then all the flock bore ringstreaked.
9 Konsa Bondye te retire bèt yo nan men papa ou, e Li te ban mwen yo.
Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
10 “Epi li te rive ke lè bann mouton yo a t ap kwaze, ke mwen te leve zye mwen, mwen te wè nan yon rèv, e gade byen, mal kabrit ki t ap kwaze yo te trase, takte, e mele.
And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceive, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled.
11 “Alò, zanj Bondye a te di mwen nan rèv la: ‘Jacob,’ epi mwen te di: ‘Men mwen.’
And the agent of God said to me in the dream, Jacob. And I said, Here I am.
12 “Li te di: ‘Koulye a leve zye ou, pou wè ke tout mal kabrit ki t ap kwaze yo te trase, takte, e mele, paske Mwen te wè tout sa ke Laban te fè ou yo.
And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.
13 Mwen menm se Bondye a Béthel la, kote ou te vide lwil sou yon pilye, kote ou te fè sèman a Mwen menm nan. Konsa, leve, kite tè sa a, e retounen nan peyi nesans ou a.’”
I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointed a pillar, where thou vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return to the land of thy nativity.
14 Rachel avèk Léa te di li: “Èske nou gen yon pati nan eritaj lakay papa nou an ki rete?
And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15 Èske li pa rekonèt nou kòm etranje? Paske li gen tan vann nou. Anplis, li te manje tout byen nou ranmase.
Are we not accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.
16 Vrèman, tout byen ke Bondye te rachte nan men papa nou yo, se pou nou avèk pitit nou ke yo ye. Alò, fè sa ke Bondye te di ou fè a.”
For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to thee, do.
17 Alò, Jacob te leve. Li te mete pitit li yo avèk madanm li yo sou chamo yo.
Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels.
18 Konsa, li te voye pouse tout bèt yo avèk tout byen ke li te rasanble yo, bèt ke li te vin gen nan Paddan-Aram yo, pou ale nan peyi Canaan vè papa li, Isaac.
And he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father to the land of Canaan.
19 Lè Laban te ale pou taye plim mouton li yo, Rachel te vòlè zidòl lakay ki te pou papa li yo.
Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.
20 Konsa, Jacob te twonpe Laban, Arameyen an. Li pa t di li ke li t ap sove ale.
And Jacob slipped away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
21 Li te sove ale avèk tout sa ke li te genyen, epi li te leve pou travèse lariviyè Euphrate la, ak figi li byen fikse vè peyi mòn Galaad yo.
So he fled with all that he had. And he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
22 Lè yo te di Laban nan twazyèm jou ke Jacob te sove ale a,
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23 li te pran moun fanmi li yo, pou l te kouri dèyè li pandan sèt jou. Konsa, li te vin rive devan li nan ti kolin nan peyi Galaad yo.
And he took his brothers with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
24 Bondye te parèt a Laban, Arameyen an, nan yon rèv nan nwit lan. Li te di li: “Fè atansyon pou ou pa pale a Jacob ni byen, ni mal.”
And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou not speak to Jacob either good or bad.
25 Laban te vin rive devan Jacob. Alò Jacob te monte tant li nan peyi kolin yo, e Laban avèk moun pa li yo te rete nan peyi kolin Galaad yo.
And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain. And Laban encamped with his brothers in the mountain of Gilead.
26 Alò, Laban te di a Jacob: “Kisa ou te fè m la a lè ou te twonpe m e fè eskalad avèk fi mwen yo tankou prizonyè ki sou nepe?
And Laban said to Jacob, What have thou done, that thou have slipped away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword?
27 Poukisa ou te sove ale an sekrè? Ou fè m desepsyon sa a, e ou pa di m sa pou m ta kapab voye ou ale avèk jwa, ak chante, tanbouren ak ap?
Why did thou flee secretly, and creep away from me, and did not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,
28 Ou pa t menm kite m bo fis mwen yo, ak fi mwen yo. Alò, ou gen tan fè betiz.
and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou have done foolishly.
29 Li nan pouvwa mwen pou m fè nou mal, men Bondye a papa ou a te pale avèk mwen yèswa. Li te di: ‘Pinga ou pale ni byen, ni mal a Jacob’.
It is in the power of my hand to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou not speak to Jacob either good or bad.
30 Alò, vrèman ou te sòti paske ou te anvi wè lakay papa ou, men poukisa ou te vòlè dye mwen yo?”
And now, though thou have certainly gone, because thou have been very desirous for thy father's house, yet why have thou stolen my gods?
31 Jacob te reponn Laban: “Akoz ke m te pè, paske mwen te panse ke ou ta rachte fi ou yo nan men mwen pa lafòs.
And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou should take thy daughters from me by force.
32 Sila ki twouve avèk dye ou yo p ap viv. Nan prezans tout fanmi nou yo, montre m sa ki pou ou nan byen mwen yo, e pran li pou ou menm.” Paske Jacob pa t konnen ke Rachel te gen tan vòlè yo.
With whomever thou find thy gods, he shall not live. Before our brothers discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
33 Alò, Laban te antre nan tant Jacob la, nan tant Léa a, ak nan tant sèvant yo, men li pa t twouve yo.
And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants, but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
34 Alò, Rachel te pran zidòl lakay yo. Li te mete yo nan sèl chamo a, e li te chita sou yo. Konsa, Laban te manyen toupatou nan tant lan, men li pa t twouve yo.
Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the camel's saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban felt around all the tent, but did not find them.
35 Li te di a papa li: “Pa kite mèt mwen an fache avè m, pwiske mwen p ap ka leve devan ou, paske se règ mwen ki sou mwen.” Alò, li te chache, men li pa t jwenn zidòl kay yo.
And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, for the manner of women is upon me. And he searched, but did not find the teraphim.
36 Alò, Jacob te vin fache. Li te konfwonte Laban. Jacob te di l: “Ki tò mwen te fè ou? Ki peche mwen te fè konsa pou ou vin pouswiv mwen tou cho konsa?
And Jacob was angry, and chided with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? What is my sin that thou have hotly pursued after me?
37 Malgre ou gen tan manyen tout afè m, kisa ou te twouve ladan yo ki pou lakay ou? Mete li isit la devan moun pa m avèk moun pa ou yo, pou yo ka pran yon desizyon antre nou de a.
Whereas thou have felt around all my stuff, what have thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brothers and thy brothers, that they may judge between us two.
38 “Pandan ventan mwen te la avè w. Mouton ou yo avèk kabrit ou yo pa janm pèdi pitit, ni mwen pa t manje belye nan bann mouton ou yo.
These twenty years I have been with thee, thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and I have not eaten the rams of thy flocks.
39 Sa ki te chire pa bèt sovaj, èske m pa te pote yo bay ou? Mwen te fè pèt la pou kont mwen. Se konsa ou te egzije sa ki nan men m, sof ke sa ki vòlè nan lajounen, sof ke sa ki vòlè nan lannwit.
I did not bring to thee that which was torn by beasts; I bore the loss of it, of my hand thou required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
40 Konsa mwen te ye: Nan lajounen, solèy la te manje m, fredi nan lannwit, e dòmi te vòlè sove ale nan zye mwen.
Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
41 Pandan ven ane sa yo, mwen te lakay ou. Mwen te sèvi ou katòz ane pou de fi ou yo, sis ane pou bann mouton ou yo, e ou te fè chanjman salè mwen dis fwa.
These twenty years I have been in thy house. I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock. And thou have changed my wages ten times.
42 Si Bondye a papa m nan, Bondye a Abraham nan pa t pou mwen, vrèman koulye a ou t ap kab voye m ale men vid. Bondye te wè afliksyon mwen, ak travay di ke men m te gen tan fè, epi Li te rann jijman an yèswa.”
Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now thou would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee last night.
43 Laban te reponn a Jacob: “Fi yo se fi m, pitit yo se pitit mwen, bann mouton yo se bann mouton mwen. Tout sa ou wè la yo se pa m. Men kisa m ka fè nan jou sa pou sila yo, a fi mwen yo, oswa a pitit pa yo ke yo te fè?
And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou see is mine. And what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their sons whom they have borne?
44 Alò, kounye a vin non, annou fè yon akò, ou menm avèk mwen menm. Annou fè li kòm yon temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
45 Konsa, Jacob te pran yon gwo wòch. Li te fè l kanpe tankou yon pilye.
And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
46 Jacob te di a tout relasyon fanmi pa li a: “Sanble wòch”! Epi yo te pran wòch yo. Yo te fè yon gwo pil, e yo te manje la akote pil la.
And Jacob said to his brothers, Gather stones, and they took stones, and made a heap. And they ate there by the heap.
47 Alò Laban te rele la Jegar-Sahadutha, men Jacob te rele l Galed.
And Laban called it Jegar-saha-dutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Laban te di: “Gwo pil wòch sa se yon temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen menm jodi a.” Konsa, li te rele l Galed,
And Laban said, This heap is witness between me and thee this day. Therefore the name of it was called Galeed,
49 epi osi Mitspa, paske li te di: “Ke Bondye kapab gade antre ou menm avèk mwen lè nou vin absan de youn lòt.
and Mizpah. For he said, May Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another,
50 Si ou maltrete fi mwen yo, oswa si ou pran madanm anplis ke fi mwen yo, malgre pèsòn pa avèk nou, ou wè, Bondye se temwen antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
if thou will afflict my daughters, and if thou will take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us, see, God is witness between me and thee.
51 Laban te di a Jacob: “Gade byen gwo pil sa a, e veye byen gwo pilye ke m etabli antre ou menm avèk mwen an.
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set between me and thee.
52 Gwo pil sa a se yon temwen. Pilye a se yon temwen ke mwen p ap pase vè gwo pil sa a pou fè ou mal, e ou p ap pase gwo pil sa a vè mwen pou fè m mal.
This heap is witness, and the pillar is witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shall not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
53 Bondye Abraham nan ak Bondye Nachor a, Bondye a papa pa yo a, vin jij antre nou menm.” Konsa Jacob te sèmante pa krent a papa l, Isaac.
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
54 Alò, Jacob te ofri yon sakrifis sou mòn nan. Li te rele tout gwo fanmi li yo pou vin manje pen. Yo te manje pen sa a, e yo te pase nwit lan sou mòn nan.
And Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brothers to eat bread. And they ate bread, and tarried all night on the mountain.
55 Granmmaten, Laban te leve. Li te bo fis li yo ak fi li yo, e li te beni yo. Alò, Laban te retounen nan plas li.
And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed and returned to his place.
