Jenèz 32
1 Alò, pandan Jacob te fin pran wout li, zanj Bondye yo te rankontre li.
But Iacob went forth on his iourney. And the angells of God came and mett him.
2 Jacob te di lè li te wè yo: “Sa se lame Bondye a.” Konsa, li te nonmen plas sa a Mahanaïm.
And when Iacob sawe them he sayde: this is godes hoost: and called the name of that same place Mahanaim.
3 Alò, Jacob te voye mesaje yo devan li kote frè li Ésaü nan peyi Séir a nan teritwa Édom an.
Iacob sente meessengers before him to Esau his brother vnto the lande of Seir and the felde of Edom.
4 Li te bay mesaje yo lòd, e li te di: “Konsa ou va pale a mèt mwen an, Ésaü: ‘Men sa ke sèvitè ou, Jacob di ou: Mwen te vin rete avèk Laban, e mwen te demere la jis rive koulye a.
And he comaunded them saynge: se that ye speake after this maner to my lorde Esau: thy seruaunte Iacob sayth thus. I haue sogerned ad bene a straunger with Laban vnto this tyme:
5 Mwen gen bèf avèk bourik, avèk bann mouton, sèvitè avèk sèvant. M ap voye pou di mèt mwen sa, pou m kapab vin jwenn favè nan zye w.’”
and haue gotten oxen asses and shepe menservauntes and wemanseruauntes and haue sent to shewe it mi lorde that I may fynde grace in thy syghte.
6 Mesaje yo te retounen vè Jacob. Yo te di li: “Nou te rankontre frè ou Ésaü. Konsa, li ap vin kote ou avèk kat-san òm.”
And the messengers came agayne to Iacob sainge: we came vnto thi brother Esau and he cometh ageynst the and. iiij. hundred men with hi.
7 Epi Jacob te vin pè anpil, e byen twouble. Li te divize moun ki te avè l yo, bann mouton, twoupo bèf ak chamo pou fè de konpanyen.
Than was Iacob greatlye afrayde and wist not which waye to turne him selfe and devyded the people that was with him and the shepe oxen and camels in to. ij. companies
8 Konsa, li te di: “Si Ésaü ta vin atake youn nan konpanyen yo, alò, konpanyen ki rete a va chape.”
and sayde: Yf Esau come to the one parte and smyte it the other may saue it selfe.
9 Jacob te di: “O Bondye a papa m nan Abraham e Bondye a papa m nan Isaac, O SENYÈ ki te di mwen an: ‘Retounen nan peyi ou, e a moun fanmi ou yo, e mwen va fè ou vin pwospere,’
And Iacob sayde: O god of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac: LORde which saydest vnto me returne vnto thy cuntre and to thy kynrede and I will deall wel with the.
10 mwen pa merite tout lanmou, mizerikòd ak fidelite ke ou te montre sèvitè ou a; paske se sèl avèk baton mwen ke m te travèse rivyè Jourdain an, men koulye a nou vin de konpanyen.
I am not worthy of the leaste of all the mercyes and treuth which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruaunte. For with my staf came I over this Iordane and now haue Igoten. ij. droves
11 Delivre mwen, souple anba men frè m nan, anba men Ésaü; paske mwen pè li, pou li pa vin atake mwen avèk manman yo, ak timoun yo.
Delyver me from the handes of my brother Esau for I feare him: lest he will come and smyte the mother with the childeru.
12 Paske ou te di: ‘Anverite, Mwen va fè nou vin pwospere, e fè desandan nou yo vin tankou sab lanmè a, k ap twò gran pou konte.’”
Thou saydest that thou woldest surely do me good and woldest make mi seed as the sonde of the see which can not be nombred for multitude.
13 Epi li te pase nwit lan la. Alò, li te chwazi nan sa li te gen avè l yo kòm yon kado pou frè li, Ésaü:
And he taried there that same nyghte and toke of that which came to hande a preasent vnto Esau his brother:
14 De-san kabrit femèl, ven kabrit mal, de-san femèl mouton, ak ven mal,
ij hundred she gootes ad xx he gootes: ij hundred shepe and xx rammes:
15 trant chamo ki t ap bay lèt a pitit pa yo, karant bèf avèk dis towo, ven bourik femèl, ak dis ti bourik.
thyrtye mylch camels with their coltes: xl kyne ad x bulles: xx she asses ad foles
16 Li te livre yo nan men a sèvitè li yo. Chak ekip te mache pou kont li, e li te di a sèvitè li yo: “Pase devan m, e mete yon espas antre de bann yo.”
and delyuered them vnto his seruauntes euery drooue by them selues ad sayde vnto them: goo forth before me and put a space betwyxte euery drooue.
17 Li te kòmande sila ki te devan an e li te di li: “Lè frè m Ésaü vin rankontre ou, e mande ou: ‘Pou kilès ou ye, kibò w prale, e pou kilès bèt sa yo ki devan ou yo ye?’
And he comaunded the formest sayngeWhe Esau my brother meteth the ad axeth the saynge: whose seruaute art thou and whither goost thou and whose ar these that goo before ye:
18 Alò, ou va di: ‘Se pou sèvitè ou, Jacob. Se yon kado ke li voye bay mèt mwen, Ésaü. Men gade byen, li la dèyè nou.’”
thou shalt say they be thy seruaunte Iacobs and are a present sent vnto my lorde Esau and beholde he him selfe cometh after vs.
19 Li te kòmande osi a dezyèm nan, a twazyèm nan, ak tout sa ki te swiv ekip yo, e li te di: “Se konsa nou va pale avèk Ésaü lè nou rankontre li.
And so comaunded he the seconde ad euen so the thirde and lykewyse all that folowed the drooues sainge of this maner se that ye speake vnto Esau whe ye mete him
20 Ou va di: ‘Gade, men sèvitè ou Jacob dèyè nou an tou.’ Paske li te di: ‘Mwen va satisfè li avèk kado ki ale devan m yo. E apre, mwen va wè figi li. Petèt li kapab aksepte mwen.’”
ad saye more ouer. Beholde thy seruaunte Iacob cometh after vs for he sayde. I will pease his wrath with the present yt goth before me and afterward I will see him myself so peradventure he will receaue me to grace.
21 Epi kado a te pase devan li, e li menm te pase nwit lan menm kote li te fè kan an.
So went the preset before him ad he taried all that nyghte in the tente
22 Alò, li te leve pandan menm nwit lan, e li te pran de madanm li yo avèk de sèvant li yo, onz pitit li yo, e li te travèse lariviyè a bò kote Jabbok la.
ad rose vp the same nyghte ad toke his. ij. wyves and his. ij. maydens and his. xi. sonnes and went ouer the foorde Iabok.
23 Li te pran yo, e li te voye yo travèse dlo a. Konsa, li te voye travèse ak tout sa li te genyen.
And he toke them ad sent the ouer the ryuer ad sent ouer that he had
24 Konsa, Jacob te rete tout sèl, e yon nonm te vin lite avèk li jis rive granmmaten.
ad taried behinde him selfe alone. And there wrastled a man with him vnto the breakynge of the daye.
25 Lè li te wè ke li pa t genyen l, li te touche gwo jwenti janm li (anwo kote l tache nan kò a), epi li te vin dejwente pandan li t ap lite avè l.
And when he sawe that he coude not prevayle agaynst him he smote hi vnder the thye and the senowe of Iacobs thy shranke as he wrastled with him.
26 Epi nonm nan te di: “Lage m, paske jou a pwòch.” Men Jacob te di: “Mwen p ap lage ou amwenske ke ou beni m.”
And he sayde: let me goo for the daye breaketh. And he sayde: I will not lett the goo excepte thou blesse me.
27 Alò, li te di li: “Kòman yo rele ou?” Li te reponn: “Jacob.”
And he sayde vnto him: what is thy name? He answered: Iacob.
28 Li te di: “Yo p ap rele ou Jacob ankò, men Israël; paske ou te lite avèk Bondye, e avèk lòm, epi ou te reyisi.”
And he sayde: thou shalt be called Iacob nomore but Israell. For thou hast wrastled with God and with men ad hast preuayled.
29 Alò Jacob te mande li: “Souple, di m non ou.” Li te reponn: “Poukisa ou mande m non mwen?” Epi li te beni li la.
And Iacob asked him sainge tell me thi name. And he sayde wherfore dost thou aske after my name? and he blessed him there.
30 Konsa, Jacob te nonmen kote sa Peniel, paske li te di: “Mwen te wè Bondye fasafas, malgre sa, vi mwen te prezève.”
And Iacob called the name of the place Peniel for I haue sene God face to face and yet is my lyfe reserved.
31 Alò, solèy la te leve sou li nan menm moman li t ap travèse Peniel la, e li te bwate akoz gwo janm nan.
And as he went ouer Peniel the sonne rose vpon him and he halted vpon his thye:
32 Pou sa, jis jounen jodi a, fis Israël yo pa manje tandon ki tache nan gwo janm nan avèk anch ki sou jwenti a, akoz ke li te touche jwenti gwo janm nan tandon ki tache nan anch lan.
wherfore the childern of Israell eate not of the senow that shrancke vnder the thye vnto this daye: because that he smote Iacob vnder the thye in the senow that shroncke.
