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.”

And God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to 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.

Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

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.”

Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I went."

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 to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was 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.

Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

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 came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who 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.

He built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing 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 she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.

9 Alò, Bondye te vin parèt a Jacob ankò lè li te sòti Paddan-Aram, e Li te beni li.

And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, 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.

God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So he called his name 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 said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.

12 Peyi ke M te bay Abraham, ak Isaac la, Mwen va ba ou li, ak desandan apre ou yo.”

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the 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 him in the place where he spoke 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.

And Jacob set up a standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

15 Alò, Jacob te nonmen plas kote Bondye te pale avèk li a Béthel.

Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke 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.

Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, 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.”

When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have 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.

It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named 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 standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.

21 Israël te avanse e li te monte tant li an pi lwen tou Migdal-Éder a.

And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal 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—

It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about it. 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 Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

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;

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: 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 Zilpah, Leah's servant: 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.

So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

28 Alò, jou Isaac yo te san-katre-ven ane.

Now the days of Isaac were one hundred 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 Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
