Jenèz 37
1 Alò, Jacob te viv nan peyi kote papa li te konn demere a, nan peyi Canaan an.
Iaakob nowe dwelt in the lande, wherein his father was a stranger, in the lande of Canaan.
2 Sa yo se achiv a jenerasyon Jacob yo. Joseph, lè l te gen laj dis-sèt ane, li t ap okipe bann mouton an avèk frè l yo, pandan li te toujou nan jennès li, ansanm avèk fis Bila yo, ak fis Zilpa yo, madanm a papa l yo. Epi Joseph te pote yon move rapò sou yo, bay papa li.
These are the generations of Iaakob, when Ioseph was seuenteene yeere olde: he kept sheepe with his brethren, and the childe was with the sonnes of Bilhah, and with the sonnes of Zilpah, his fathers wiues. And Ioseph brought vnto their father their euill saying.
3 Alò, Israël te renmen Joseph plis ke tout lòt fis li yo, akoz ke li te fèt nan vyeyès li; epi li te fè pou li yon vètman plen tout koulè.
Nowe Israel loued Ioseph more then all his sonnes, because he begate him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 Frè li yo te wè ke papa yo te renmen li plis ke tout frè li yo. Konsa, yo te vin rayi li, e yo pa t kapab pale avèk li an amitye.
So when his brethren sawe that their father loued him more then all his brethren, then they hated him, and could not speake peaceably vnto him.
5 Alò, Joseph te fè yon rèv, e lè l te repete l bay frè l yo, konsa, yo te vin rayi li plis.
And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
6 Li te di yo: “Souple, koute rèv sa a ke m te fè a.
For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
7 Gade byen, nou t ap mare pakèt rekòlt yo nan chan an, e gade byen, pakèt pa nou yo te vin antoure pa m nan e yo te vin bese devan pakèt pa mwen yo.”
Beholde nowe, wee were binding sheues in the middes of the field: and loe, my shefe arose and also stoode vpright, and behold, your sheues compassed rounde about, and did reuerence to my shefe.
8 Alò, frè li yo te di li: “Èske vrèman ou ap vin renye sou nou? Oswa èske ou ap vin gouvène sou nou?” Epi yo te vin rayi li plis pou rèv li yo, ak pawòl li yo.
Then his brethren saide to him, What, shalt thou reigne ouer vs, and rule vs? or shalt thou haue altogether dominion ouer vs? And they hated him so much the more, for his dreames, and for his wordes.
9 Alò li te vin fè yon rèv toujou, li te eksplike li bay frè li yo. Li te di: “Gade, mwen te fè yon lòt rèv; e gade byen, solèy la, lalin lan avèk onz zetwal yo t ap bese ba devan mwen.”
Againe hee dreamed an other dreame, and tolde it his brethren, and saide, Behold, I haue had one dreame more, and beholde, the Sunne and the Moone and eleuen starres did reuerence to me.
10 Li te eksplike li bay papa li avèk frè li yo. Papa li te reprimande li e te di l: “Kisa sa ye, rèv sa ou te fè a? Èske mwen, manman ou avèk frè ou yo vrèman ap vin bese atè devan ou?”
Then he tolde it vnto his father and to his brethren, and his father rebuked him, and saide vnto him, What is this dreame, which thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren come in deede and fall on the ground before thee?
11 Frè li yo te fè jalouzi akoz li, men papa li te kenbe pawòl sa yo nan tèt li.
And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.
12 Epi frè li yo te ale mennen bann mouton an Sichem.
Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.
13 Israël te di Joseph: “Èske frè ou yo p ap okipe bann mouton an Sichem? Vini pou mwen ka voye ou bò kote yo.” Epi li te reponn: “Mwen va ale”.
And Israel said vnto Ioseph, Doe not thy brethren keepe in Shechem? come and I will send thee to them.
14 Alò, li te di li: “Ale koulye a pou okipe afè frè ou yo ak afè bann mouton an, e vin pote nouvèl ban mwen.” Epi li te ale nan vale Hébron an e li te rive Sichem.
And he answered him, I am here. Then he saide vnto him, Goe now, see whether it bee well with thy brethren, and how the flocks prosper, and bring me word againe. so hee sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 Yon mesye te twouve li, e gade byen, li t ap mache toupatou nan chan an. Konsa, mesye a te mande li: “Kisa w ap chache?”
Then a man found him: for lo, hee was wandring in the fielde, and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 Li te di: “Mwen ap chache frè m yo. Souple, fè m konnen kote yo ap fè patiraj pou bann mouton an.”
And he answered, I seeke my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they keepe sheepe.
17 Alò, mesye a te di: “Yo te deplase isit la, paske mwen te tande yo di: ‘Annou ale Dothan.’” Epi Joseph te swiv frè li yo, e li te twouve yo Dothan.
And the man said, they are departed hece: for I heard them say, Let vs goe vnto Dothan. Then went Ioseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18 Lè yo te wè li depi nan distans, e avan li te parèt kote yo, yo te fè konplo pou mete li a lanmò.
And when they sawe him a farre off, euen before he came at them, they conspired against him for to slay him.
19 Yo te di youn ak lòt: “Men sila ki fè rèv la ap vini!
For they sayd one to another, Behold, this dreamer commeth.
20 Alò, koulye a, annou touye li e jete li nan youn nan fòs yo, e nou va di: ‘yon bèt sovaj te devore li.’ Koulye a annou wè kisa rèv li yo ap devni!”
Come now therefore, and let vs slay him, and cast him into some pitte, and wee will say, A wicked beast hath deuoured him: then wee shall see, what will come of his dreames.
21 Men Reuben te tande sa, li te retire li nan men yo, e li te di: “Annou pa pran lavi li.”
But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him.
22 Reuben te di yo anplis de sa: “Pa vèse san. Jete li nan twou sila ki nan dezè a, men pa mete men sou li” —akoz lentansyon li te gen pou fè l chape nan men yo, pou l ta kapab remèt li bay papa l.
Also Reuben saide vnto them, Shed not blood, but cast him into this pitte that is in the wildernesse, and lay no hande vpon him. Thus he said, that he might deliuer him out of their hand, and restore him to his father againe.
23 Alò li te rive ke lè Joseph te rive kote frè li yo, yo te retire vètman an sou li, (sa ki te gen anpil koulè ladann nan);
Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him.
24 epi yo te pran li e yo te jete li nan fòs la. Alò fòs la te vid e li pa t gen dlo ladann.
And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
25 Alò, yo te chita pou manje yon manje. Epi pandan yo te leve zye yo, yo te gade, e vwala, yon ekip Izmayelit ki t ap sòti Galaad, avèk chamo ki t ap pote yon chaj gòm awomatik, bòm avèk mè pou rive an Égypte.
Then they sate them downe to eate bread: and they lift vp their eyes and looked, and behold, there came a companie of Ishmeelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicerie, and balme, and myrrhe, and were going to cary it downe into Egypt.
26 Juda te di a frè li yo: “Ki avantaj sa ye si nou touye frè nou an, e kache san li?
Then Iudah said vnto his brethren, What auaileth it, if we slay our brother, though wee keepe his blood secret?
27 Vini, annou vann li bay Izmayelit yo e annou pa mete men nou sou li, paske li se frè nou, pwòp chè nou.” Epi frè li yo te koute li.
Come and let vs sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our handes be vpon him: for he is our brother and our flesh: and his brethren obeyed.
28 Alò, kèk nan machann Madyanit yo te pase, epi frè l yo te rale li soti nan fòs la e te vann li bay Izmayelit yo pou ven sik lajan. Konsa yo te mennen Joseph antre an Égypte.
Then the Midianites marchant men passed by, and they drewe foorth, and lift Ioseph out of the pit, and solde Ioseph vnto the Ishmeelites for twentie pieces of siluer: who brought Ioseph into Egypt.
29 Alò, Reuben te retounen nan fòs la, e gade byen, Joseph pa t la nan fòs la; epi li te chire rad li.
Afterwarde Reuben returned to the pit, and beholde, Ioseph was not in the pit: then he rent his clothes,
30 Li te retounen vè frè li yo e te di: “Ti gason an pa la non; e pou mwen menm, kibò pou m ale?”
And returned to his brethren, and said, The childe is not yonder, and I, whither shall I goe?
31 Konsa, yo te pran vètman Joseph la, yo te kòche yon mal kabrit, e yo te tranpe vètman an nan san an.
And they tooke Iosephs coate, and killed a kidde of the goates, and dipped the coate in the blood.
32 Yo te voye vètman anpil koulè a pote li bay papa yo e yo te di: “Nou te twouve sa a. Souple, gade l byen e wè si se vètman a fis ou a oswa non.”
So they sent that particoloured coat, and they brought it vnto their father, and saide, This haue we founde: see nowe, whether it be thy sonnes coate, or no.
33 Li te egzamine li e te di: “Se vètman fis mwen an. Yon bèt sovaj gen tan devore li. Joseph vrèman gen tan chire an mòso!”
Then he knewe it and said, It is my sonnes coate: a wicked beast hath deuoured him: Ioseph is surely torne in pieces.
34 Alò, Jacob te chire rad li, li te mete twal sak nan ren li, e li te pase anpil jou ap lamante pou fis li a.
And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.
35 Alò, tout fis li yo, ak tout fi li yo te leve pou konsole li, men li te refize konsole. Epi li te di: “Vrèman mwen va desann kote fis mwen an, kote sejou mò yo ak lamante pou fis mwen an.” Epi papa li te kriye pou li. (Sheol h7585)
Then all his sonnes and all his daughters rose vp to comfort him, but he woulde not be comforted, but said, Surely I will go downe into the graue vnto my sonne mourning: so his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Antretan, Madyanit yo te vann li an Égypte a Potiphar, ofisye Farawon an, chèf nan kò gad la.
And the Midianites solde him into Egypt vnto Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs, and his chiefe stewarde.
