Jenèz 42
1 Alò, Jacob te wè ke te gen sereyal an Égypte, e Jacob te di fis li yo: “Poukisa nou ap gade youn sou lòt konsa?”
Then Iaakob saw that there was foode in Egypt, and Iaakob said vnto his sonnes, Why gaze ye one vpon an other?
2 Li te di: “Mwen tande gen sereyal an Égypte. Desann la pou achte kèk pou nou nan kote sa, pou nou kapab viv, e pa mouri.”
And he said, Behold, I haue heard that there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, and bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and not die.
3 Alò, dis frè Joseph yo te desann pou achte sereyal an Égypte.
So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.
4 Men Jacob pa t voye frè Joseph la, Benjamin avèk lòt frè li yo, paske li te di: “Mwen pè pou yon mal ta kab rive li.”
But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
5 Alò, fis Israël yo te vini pou achte sereyal pami sila ki t ap vini yo, paske gwo grangou a te nan peyi Canaan an tou.
And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
6 Alò, Joseph te an pouvwa nan peyi a. Se te li menm ki te vann a tout pèp nan peyi a. Epi frè a Joseph yo te vin bese ba devan li avèk figi yo atè.
Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land, who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, and bowed their face to the groud before him.
7 Lè Joseph te wè frè li yo, li te rekonèt yo, men li te kache idantite li devan yo, e li te pale rèd avèk yo. Li te di yo: “Kote nou sòti?” Epi yo te di: “Nan peyi Canaan, pou achte manje.”
And when Ioseph sawe his brethren, hee knewe them, and made himselfe straunge toward them, and spake to them roughly, and saide vnto them, Whence come yee? Who answered, Out of the land of Canaan, to bye vitaile.
8 Men Joseph te rekonèt frè l yo, malgre yo pa t rekonèt li.
(Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.
9 Joseph te sonje rèv ke li te gen sou yo a, e li te di yo: “Se espyon nou ye! Nou te vin chache konnen pwen fèb nan defans peyi nou an.”
And Ioseph remembred the dreames, which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the weaknesse of the land.
10 Alò, yo te di li: “Non, mèt mwen, men sèvitè ou yo te vin achte manje.”
But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.
11 “Nou tout se fis a yon sèl mesye. Nou se moun onèt, sèvitè ou, e nou pa espyon.”
Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.
12 Malgre sa li te di yo: “Non, men nou te vin gade pwen fèb nan defans peyi nou an.”
But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.
13 Men yo te reponn li: “Sèvitè ou yo se douz frè antou, fis a yon sèl mesye nan peyi Canaan; e gade byen, pi jenn nan avèk papa nou jodi a, e youn pa la ankò.”
And they said, We thy seruants are twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14 Joseph te di yo: “Se tankou mwen te di nou, se espyon nou ye.
Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
15 Men se konsa nou va pase a leprèv. Pa lavi Farawon, nou p ap sòti nan plas sa a amwenske pi jenn nan vin parèt isit la!
Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.
16 Voye youn nan nou ale pou li kapab chache frè nou an, pandan n ap rete anprizone, pou pawòl nou yo kapab pase a leprèv, si gen verite nan nou. Men si non, pa lavi Farawon, vrèman nou se espyon.”
Send one of you which may fet your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proued, whether there bee trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh ye are but spies.
17 Konsa, li te mete yo nan prizon pou twa jou.
So he put them in warde three dayes.
18 Alò, Joseph te di yo nan twazyèm jou a: “Fè sa pou viv, paske mwen krent Bondye:
Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.
19 Si nou se moun onèt, kite youn nan frè nou yo rete anprizone nan prizon nou an; men pou nou lòt yo, ale pote sereyal pou grangou ki lakay nou yo.
If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bounde in your prison house, and goe ye, carie foode for the famine of your houses:
20 Men mennen pi jenn frè nou an bò kote m, pou pawòl nou yo kapab verifye, e pou nou pa mouri.” Epi konsa, yo te fè.
But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
21 Yo te di youn a lòt: “Vrèman, nou koupab nan zafè frè nou an, akoz nou te wè jan nanm li te twouble lè li te plede avèk nou, men nou te refize tande. Pou sa, kriz sila a vin rive sou nou.”
And they said one to another, We haue verily sinned against our brother, in that we sawe the anguish of his soule, when he besought vs, and we would not heare him: therefore is this trouble come vpon vs.
22 Reuben te reponn yo, e te di: “Èske mwen pa t di nou: ‘Pa peche kont tigason an;’ men nou te refize tande? Konsa, fwi san li an vin parèt.”
And Reuben answered them, saying, Warned I not you, saying, Sinne not against the childe, and ye would not heare? and lo, his blood is now required.
23 Men yo pa t konnen ke Joseph te konprann, paske te gen yon entèprèt antre yo.
(And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)
24 Konsa, li te vire lwen yo e li te kriye. Men lè li te retounen vè yo, li te pale avèk yo. Li te pran Siméon nan mitan yo, e li te mare li devan zye yo.
Then he turned from them, and wept, and turned to them againe, and communed with them, and tooke Simeon from among them, and bounde him before their eyes.
25 Konsa, Joseph te bay lòd pou plen sak yo avèk sereyal, remèt lajan a chak moun nan sak li, e bay yo pwovizyon pou vwayaj la. Epi se konsa sa te fèt pou yo.
So Ioseph commanded that they should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them.
26 Alò, yo te chaje bourik pa yo avèk sereyal yo, e yo te soti la.
And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.
27 Pandan youn nan yo t ap ouvri sak li pou bay bèt la manje, li te wè lajan pa li a. Gade byen, se la li te ye, nan bouch sak la.
And as one of them opened his sacke for to giue his asse prouender in the ynne, he espyed his money: for lo, it was in his sackes mouth.
28 Epi li te di a frè l yo: “Lajan mwen an remèt wi! E gade byen, li la menm nan sak mwen an!” Konsa kè yo plonje desann. Yo te vire, tou ap tranble, youn ak lòt, e te di: “Kisa Bondye gen tan fè nou la a?”
Then he sayde vnto his brethren, My money is restored: for loe, it is euen in my sacke. And their heart fayled them, and they were astonished, and sayde one to another, What is this, that God hath done vnto vs?
29 Lè yo te rive kote papa yo Jacob, nan peyi Canaan an, yo te di li tout sa ki te rive yo. Konsa yo te di:
And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,
30 “Mesye a, mèt peyi a, te pale byen di avèk nou. Li te panse nou te espyon nan peyi a.
The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.
31 Men nou te di li: ‘Nou se moun onèt. Se pa espyon nou ye.
And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.
32 Nou se douz frè, fis a papa nou. Youn nan nou pa viv ankò, e pi jenn nan avèk papa nou jodi a nan peyi Canaan.’
We be twelue brethren, sonnes of our father: one is not, and the yongest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 “Epi nonm nan, mèt peyi a, te di nou: ‘Pa sa mwen va konnen ke nou se moun onèt: kite youn nan frè nou yo avè m, pran sereyal la pou pwoblèm grangou lakay nou yo, e ale.
Then the Lord of the countrey sayde vnto vs, Hereby shall I knowe if ye be true men: Leaue one of your brethren with me, and take foode for the famine of your houses and depart,
34 Men mennen pi jenn frè ou a kote mwen pou m ka konnen ke nou pa espyon, men ke nou se moun onèt. Mwen va bay ou frè ou a, e w ap kapab fè komès nan peyi a.’”
And bring your yongest brother vnto me, that I may knowe that ye are no spies, but true men: so will I deliuer you your brother, and yee shall occupie in the land.
35 Alò, li te rive ke lè yo t ap vide sak yo, ke gade byen, bous lajan chak moun te nan sak li. Lè yo menm avèk papa yo te wè lajan an, yo te sezi.
And as they emptied their sacks, behold, euery mans bundel of money was in his sacke: and when they and their father sawe the bundels of their money, they were afrayde.
36 Papa yo, Jacob te di yo: “Nou fin fè m pèdi pitit mwen yo! Joseph pa la ankò, Siméon pa la ankò, e nou ta vle pran Benjamin. Tout bagay sa yo kont mwen.”
Then Iaakob their father said to them, Ye haue robbed me of my children: Ioseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Beniamin: all these things are against me.
37 Alò, Reuben te pale avèk papa l. Li te di: “Ou kapab mete de gason mwen yo a lanmò si mwen pa mennen li retounen kote ou. Mete li sou kont mwen, e mwen va fè l retounen kote ou.”
Then Reuben answered his father, saying, Slay my two sonnes, if I bring him not to thee againe: deliuer him to mine hand, and I will bring him to thee againe.
38 Men Jacob te di: “Fis mwen an p ap desann avèk nou. Paske frè li a mouri, e se li sèl ki rete. Si malè ta rive li nan vwayaj ke nou ap fè a, alò, nou va mennen tèt cheve blanch sa a vè sejou mò yo avèk tristès.” (Sheol h7585)
But he said, My sonne shall not go downe with you: for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if death come vnto him by the way which ye goe, then ye shall bring my gray head with sorow vnto the graue. (Sheol h7585)
