Jenèz 33
1 Alò, Jacob te leve zye li. Li te gade, e gade byen, Ésaü t ap vini, ak kat-san òm avèk li. Konsa, li te divize pitit yo pami Léa avèk Rachel avèk de sèvant yo.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
2 Li te mete sèvant li yo devan, Léa avèk pitit li yo dèyè yo, e Rachel avèk Joseph an dènye.
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 Men li menm te pran devan yo. Li te bese jis atè sèt fwa, jiskaske li te rive toupre frè li a.
And he passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, till he came near to his brother.
4 Ésaü te kouri al jwenn li. Li te anbrase li, te tonbe nan kou li e li te bo li. Konsa, yo te kriye.
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
5 Li te leve zye li pou wè fanm yo, e li te di: “Se kilès? Sila yo ki avèk ou la a?” Epi Jacob te di: “Pitit ke Bondye nan gras li te bay sèvitè ou.”
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children, and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given to thy servant.
6 Alò, sèvant lakay yo te vin pwoche avèk pitit pa yo, e yo te bese ba.
Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 Léa tou te apwoche avèk pitit li yo. Yo te bese ba. Apre, Joseph te vini avèk Rachel, e yo te bese ba.
And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves; and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 Ésaü te di: “Kisa ou vle di ak tout ekip sa yo ke m rankontre la a?” Jacob te reponn: “Pou jwenn favè nan zye a mèt mwen.”
And he said, What [meanest] thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, [these are] to find grace in the sight of my lord.
9 Men Ésaü te di: “Mwen gen kont mwen, frè m; kite sa ou genyen yo rete pou ou.”
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep what thou hast to thyself.
10 Jacob te di: “Non, souple, si koulye a mwen twouve favè nan zye ou, alò, pran kado a nan men m, paske mwen wè figi ou tankou yon moun ki vin wè figi a Bondye, e ou te byen resevwa m.
And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast been pleased with me.
11 Souple, pran kado ki te pote pou ou a, paske Bondye te aji avèk gras anvè mwen, e akoz sa m gen anpil:” Konsa, li te vin ankouraje l, e li te aksepte li.
Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough: and he urged him, and he took [it].
12 Konsa, Esaü te di: “Annou fè vwayaj nou. Ann ale, e mwen va ale devan nou.”
And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
13 Men Jacob te di li: “Mèt mwen, ou konnen ke timoun yo frajil, e ke bann mouton avèk twoupo k ap bay tete yo se yon tèt chaje pou mwen. Si yo pouse twòp, menm pou yon jou, yo va mouri.
And he said to him, My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me, and if men should over-drive them one day, all the flock will die.
14 Souple, kite mèt mwen an pase devan sèvitè li. Mwen menm mwen va avanse pi dousman, selon nesesite bèt ki devan m yo, ak selon vitès a timoun yo, jis lè m rive vè mèt mwen an nan Séir.”
Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according as the cattle that go before me, and the children are able to endure; until I come to my lord to Seir.
15 Ésaü te di: “Souple, kite mwen ba ou kèk nan moun ki avè m yo.” Men li te di: “Poukisa ou fè sa? Kite mwen jwenn favè nan zye a mèt mwen an.”
And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the people that [are] with me: And he said, What needeth it? Let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
16 Konsa, Ésaü te fè wout li pou Séir menm jou sa a.
So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17 Jacob te vwayaje a Succoth. Li te bati pou li menm yon kay, e li te fè pak pou tout bèt li yo, epi pou sa, yo rele plas la Succoth.
And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 Alò, Jacob te rive san pwoblèm nan vil Sichem nan peyi Canaan, lè li te sòti Paddan-Aram. Li te fè kan an devan vil la.
And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city.
19 Li te achte yon mòso tè kote li te monte tant li nan men fis Hamor yo, papa Sichem nan, pou sòm a san pyès lajan.
And he bought a part of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money.
20 Alò, la li te monte yon lotèl, e li te rele li El-Elohé-Israël.
And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
