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.”
In the meantime God said to Jacob: Arise, and go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou didst flee from Esau thy brother.
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.
And Jacob having called together all his household, said: Cast away the strange gods that are among you, and be cleansed 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.”
Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, that we may make there an altar to God: who heard me in the day of my affliction, and accompanied me in my journey.
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 him all the strange gods they had, and the earrings which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree, that is behind the city of Sichem.
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.
And when they were departed, the terror of God fell upon all the cities round about, and they durst not pursue after them as they went away.
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.
And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and all the people that were with him.
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.
And he built there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when 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).
At the same time Debora the nurse of Rebecca died, and was buried at the foot of Bethel under an oak: and the name of that place was called, The oak of weeping.
9 Alò, Bondye te vin parèt a Jacob ankò lè li te sòti Paddan-Aram, e Li te beni li.
And God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he 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.
Saying: Thou shalt not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called 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 said to him: I am God Almighty, increase thou and be multiplied. Nations and peoples of nations shall be from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.
12 Peyi ke M te bay Abraham, ak Isaac la, Mwen va ba ou li, ak desandan apre ou yo.”
And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
13 Konsa, Bondye te monte kite li nan plas kote Li te pale avèk li a.
And he departed from 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.
But he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him: pouring drink offerings upon it, and pouring oil thereon:
15 Alò, Jacob te nonmen plas kote Bondye te pale avèk li a Béthel.
And calling the name of that place 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.
And going forth from thence, he came in the springtime to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherein when Rachel was in travail,
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.”
By reason of her hard labour she began to be in danger, and the midwife said to her: Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also.
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 when her soul was departing for pain, and death was now at hand, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, The son of my pain: but his father called him Benjamin, that is, The son of the right hand.
19 Rachel te mouri e li te antere nan wout pou ale Éphrata a (sa vle di, Bethléem).
So Rachel died, and was buried in the highway that leadeth to Ephrata, this is Bethlehem.
20 Jacob te monte yon pilye sou tonm li an, e sa se pilye a tonm Rachel jiska jounen jodi a.
And Jacob erected a pillar over her sepulchre: this is the pillar of Rachel’s monument, to this day.
21 Israël te avanse e li te monte tant li an pi lwen tou Migdal-Éder a.
Departing thence, he pitched his tent beyond the Flock tower.
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—
And when he dwelt in that country, Ruben went, and slept with Bala, the concubine of his father: which he was not ignorant of. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23 fis a Léa yo: Reuben, premye ne a Jacob la, ak Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar avèk Zabulon,
The sons of Lia: Ruben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Juda, and Issachar, and Zabulon.
24 fis a Rachel yo: Joseph avèk Benjamin;
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
25 fis a Bilha yo, sèvant Rachel la: Dan avèk Nephthali;
The sons of Bala, Rachel’s handmaid: Dan and Nephtali.
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.
The sons of Zelpha, Lia’s handmaid: Gad and Aser: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
27 Jacob te vini vè papa li, Isaac nan Mamré pou Kirjath-Arba (ki se Hébron), kote Abraham avèk Isaac te demere a.
And he came to Isaac his father in Mambre, the city of Arbee, this is Hebron: wherein Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28 Alò, jou Isaac yo te san-katre-ven ane.
And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty 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.
And being spent with age he died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
