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 said God unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, —and make there an altar, to the GOD who appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of 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 said unto his house, and unto all who were with him, —Put away the gods of the alien which are in your midst, and 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.”

And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el, —that I may make there an altar to the GOD who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that 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 unto Jacob all the gods of the alien which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears, —and Jacob hid them under the oak, which was by 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.

And they brake up, —and it came to pass that the terror of God, was on the cities which were round about them, so that they pursued not after 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.

And Jacob came in towards Luz, which was in the land of Canaan, the same, is Beth-el, —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.

And he built there an altar, and called the place El-Beth-el, —because, there, God revealed himself unto him, when he fled from the face of 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).

And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse died, and was buried below Beth-el, under the oak, —so the name thereof was called, Allon-bacuth.

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

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came in from Padan-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.

And God said to him, Thy name, is Jacob, —Thy name shall no longer be called Jacob But, Israel, shall be thy name. 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 GOD Almighty! Be fruitful and multiply, A nation, and a multitude of nations shall spring from thee, —And, kings, from thy loins, shall come forth;

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 to Isaac, To thee, will I give it, —And to thy seed after thee, will I give the land.

13 Konsa, Bondye te monte kite li nan plas kote Li te pale avèk li a.

And God went up from him at 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.

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, —and he poured out thereon a drink-offering, and poured thereon oil.

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

And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him, Beth-el.

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 brake they up from Beth-el, and it came to pass when there was yet a stretch of country, to enter into Ephrath, that Rachel was in childbirth, and had hard-labour in her child-birth.

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.”

So it came to pass when she was in hard-labour in her child-birth, that the midwife said to her—Do not fear, for this also of thine, is, a 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 it came to pass when her soul was going forth—for she died, that she called his name Ben-oni, —but, his father, called him, Ben-jamin.

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, the same, 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 set up a pillar, over her grave, —the same, is—The Pillar of the Grave of Rachel until this day.

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

Then Israel brake up, —and spread his tent at a distance from 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—

And it came to pass while Israel inhabited that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard of it. And so the Sons of Israel came to be Twelve.

23 fis a Léa yo: Reuben, premye ne a Jacob la, ak Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar avèk Zabulon,

The sons of Leah, the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben, —And Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Zebulon:

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, handmaid of Rachel, 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, handmaid of Leah, Gad and Asher: These, are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him, in Padan-aram.

27 Jacob te vini vè papa li, Isaac nan Mamré pou Kirjath-Arba (ki se Hébron), kote Abraham avèk Isaac te demere a.

Then came Jacob unto Isaac his father, to Mamre, the city of Arba, —the same, is Hebron, where had sojourned Abraham and Isaac.

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

And the days of Isaac came to be—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 Isaac breathed his last, and died and was added unto his people, old, and satisfied with days, —and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
