Jenèz 35
1 Alò, Bondye te di a Jacob: “Leve ale Béthel e rete la. Fè yon lotèl la pou Bondye ki te parèt devan ou lè ou te sove ale sou frè ou a, Ésaü.”
Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
2 Alò, Jacob te di moun lakay li yo, ak tout sa ki te avè l yo: “Mete deyò tout dye etranje yo ki pami nou, pirifye nou, e chanje rad nou.
So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.
3 Annou leve monte Béthel. Mwen va fè yon lotèl la pou Bondye, ki te reponn mwen nan jou detrès mwen an, e ki te avèk mwen nan tout kote ke m te konn ale yo.”
Then let us arise and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”
4 Alò, yo te bay Jacob tout dye etranje ke yo te genyen yo, ak zanno ki te nan zòrèy yo, e Jacob te antere kache yo anba chenn ki te toupre Sichem nan.
So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.
5 Pandan yo t ap vwayaje, yon gwo laperèz te vin sou vil ki te ozanviwon yo, e yo pa t swiv fis a Jacob yo.
As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
6 Alò, Jacob te vini Luz (sa vle di, Béthel), ki nan peyi Canaan an, li menm avèk tout moun ki te avèk li yo.
So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.
7 Li te bati yon lotèl la, e li te rele plas la, El-Béthel, akoz ke se la Bondye te revele Li menm a li lè li te sove ale kite frè l la.
There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.
8 Alò, Débora, nouris Rebecca a, te mouri, e li te antere anba Béthel anba chenn nan. Bwa sa a te rele Allon-bacuth (ki vle di chenn k ap kriye a).
Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bachuth.
9 Alò, Bondye te vin parèt a Jacob ankò lè li te sòti Paddan-Aram, e Li te beni li.
After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
10 Bondye te di li: “Non ou se Jacob. Yo p ap rele ou Jacob ankò, men Israël va non ou.” Konsa li te rele li Israël.
And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.
11 Bondye osi te di li: “Mwen se Bondye Toupwisan an. Fè fwi, e vin miltipliye. Yon nasyon ak yon gwo konpanyen nasyon va soti nan ou, e wa yo va sòti nan ou.
And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.
12 Peyi ke M te bay Abraham, ak Isaac la, Mwen va ba ou li, ak desandan apre ou yo.”
The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”
13 Konsa, Bondye te monte kite li nan plas kote Li te pale avèk li a.
Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.
14 Jacob te etabli yon pilye nan plas kote Li te pale avèk li a, yon pilye wòch. Li te vide yon bwason kòm ofrann sou li; epi osi li te vide yon lwil sou li.
So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him—a stone marker—and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.
15 Alò, Jacob te nonmen plas kote Bondye te pale avèk li a Béthel.
Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
16 Yo te vwayaje sòti Béthel. Lè te toujou gen yon distans pou rive Éphrata, Rachel te kòmanse fè pitit li, e li te soufri yon doulè ki te difisil.
Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.
17 Lè li te nan doulè rèd konsa, fanm saj la te di l: “Pa pè koulye a, paske ou va gen yon lòt gason.”
During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”
18 Li te rive, ke pandan nanm li t ap pati (paske li t ap mouri), ke li te nonmen li Ben-Oni; men papa li te rele li Benjamin.
And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.
19 Rachel te mouri e li te antere nan wout pou ale Éphrata a (sa vle di, Bethléem).
So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20 Jacob te monte yon pilye sou tonm li an, e sa se pilye a tonm Rachel jiska jounen jodi a.
Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.
21 Israël te avanse e li te monte tant li an pi lwen tou Migdal-Éder a.
Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.
22 Konsa, li te rive ke pandan Israël t ap viv nan peyi a, Reuben te ale kouche avèk Bilha, youn nan fanm a papa li yo, e Israël te tande koze sa a. Alò, te gen douz fis fèt pa Jacob—
While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:
23 fis a Léa yo: Reuben, premye ne a Jacob la, ak Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar avèk Zabulon,
The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 fis a Rachel yo: Joseph avèk Benjamin;
The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
25 fis a Bilha yo, sèvant Rachel la: Dan avèk Nephthali;
The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
26 fis Zilpa yo, sèvant Léa a: Gad avèk Aser. Sa yo se fis Jacob yo ki te fèt a li menm nan Paddan-Aram.
And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
27 Jacob te vini vè papa li, Isaac nan Mamré pou Kirjath-Arba (ki se Hébron), kote Abraham avèk Isaac te demere a.
Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
28 Alò, jou Isaac yo te san-katre-ven ane.
And Isaac lived 180 years.
29 Isaac te rann dènye souf li. Li te mouri, e li te rasanble vè moun li yo, yon granmoun anpil laj. Konsa, Ésaü avèk Jacob te antere li.
Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
