Jenèz 43
1 Alò, gwo grangou a te rèd nan tout peyi a.
And the famine [was] heavy in the land.
2 Epi li te vin rive ke lè yo te fin manje sereyal ke yo te achte an Égypte la, papa yo te di yo: “Ale retounen, achte yon ti manje.”
And it was just when they finished to eat the grain which they had brought from Egypt and he said to them father their go back buy for us a little of food.
3 Men Juda te pale avèk li. Li te di: “Nonm nan te menase nou ke: ‘Nou p ap wè figi m sof ke frè nou an avèk nou.’
And he said to him Judah saying certainly he warned us the man saying not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.
4 Si ou voye frè nou an avèk nou, nou va desann achte manje.
If there you [are] sending brother our with us we will go down and we will buy for you food.
5 Men si ou pa voye li, nou p ap desann. Paske nonm nan te di nou: ‘Nou p ap wè figi m sof ke frè nou an avèk nou.’”
And if not you [are] sending [him] not we will go down for the man he said to us not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.
6 Alò, Israël te di: “Poukisa ou maltrete m konsa, pou nou te di mesye a ke nou te gen yon lòt frè toujou?”
And he said Israel why? did you do harm to me by telling to the man ¿ still [belong] to you [does] a brother.
7 Men yo te di: “Mesye a te kesyone nou byen dirèk konsènan moun nan fanmi nou. Li te mande: ‘Èske papa nou toujou vivan? Èske nou gen yon lòt frè?’ Alò, nou te reponn kesyon li. Èske nou ta ka konnen ke li ta di: ‘Mennen frè nou an desann?’”
And they said carefully he asked the man of us and of kindred our saying ¿ still [is] father your living ¿ [does] there [belong] to you a brother and we told to him on [the] mouth of the words these ¿ really did we know that he will say bring down brother your.
8 Juda te di a papa li, Israël: “Voye jènjan an avèk mwen. Nou va leve ale, pou nou kapab viv e pa mouri, nou menm, ansanm ak ou, ak pitit ou yo.
And he said Judah to Israel father his send! the young man with me so let us arise and we will go and we may live and not we will die both we as well as you as well as little one[s] our.
9 Mwen menm, mwen va garanti pou li. Ou kapab mete m responsab li. Si mwen pa mennen l tounen bò kote ou, pou m fè l chita devan ou, alò, ke mwen rete koupab devan ou pou tout tan.
I I will stand surety for him from hand my you will require him if not I have brought him to you and I will set him before you and I will be culpable to you all the days.
10 Paske si nou pa t mize, asireman kounye a nou ta gen tan retounen de fwa deja.”
For if not we had delayed for now we have returned this two times.
11 Alò, papa yo, Israël te di yo: “Si sa oblije fèt, alò, fè l konsa: Pran kèk nan pi bèl pwodwi peyi a nan sak nou, pou pote desann vè nonm nan kòm kado; yon ti lwil, yon ti siwo myèl, yon ti gòm santi bon, myrr, grenn pistach fen avèk grenn zanmann.
And he said to them Israel father their if so - then this do take some of [the] best products of the land in vessels your and take down to the man a gift a little of balm and a little of honey spice and myrrh pistachio nuts and almonds.
12 Pran doub lajan nan men nou, e anplis, pran pou remèt nan men nou kòb ki te retounen nan bouch sak la. Petèt se te yon erè.
And silver double take in hand your and the silver that was returned in [the] mouth of sacks your you will take back in hand your perhaps [was] a mistake it.
13 Pran frè nou an tou, e leve retounen vè mesye a.
And brother your take and arise go back to the man.
14 Konsa, ke Bondye Toupwisan an kapab bannou gras nan zye mesye a, pou li kab lage bannou lòt frè nou an avèk Benjamin. Epi pou mwen, si mwen pèdi pitit mwen yo, mwen pèdi nèt.”
And God Almighty may he give to you compassion before the man and he will let go to you brother your other and Benjamin and I just when I have been bereaved I have been bereaved.
15 Alò, mesye yo te pran kado sila yo, e yo te pran doub lajan nan men yo avèk Benjamin. Konsa, yo te leve desann an Égypte, e yo te kanpe devan Joseph.
And they took the men the gift this and double money they took in hand their and Benjamin and they arose and they went down Egypt and they stood before Joseph.
16 Lè Joseph te wè Benjamin avèk yo, li te di a chèf domestik lakay li a, “Mennen mesye yo nan kay la, touye yon bèt, e fè prepare l; paske mesye sa yo ap vin manje avèk mwen a midi a.”
And he saw Joseph with them Benjamin and he said to [the one] who [was] over household his bring the men the house towards and slaughter a slaughter and prepare [it] for with me they will eat the men at noon.
17 Alò, nonm nan te fè sa ke Joseph te mande a, e li te mennen mesye yo lakay Joseph.
And he did the man just as he said Joseph and he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph.
18 Alò, mesye yo te byen pè, paske yo te mennen yo lakay Joseph. Konsa, yo te di: “Se akoz lajan ki te remèt nan sak yo premye fwa a, ke yo ap mennen nou la a, pou li kapab chache okazyon kont nou, pou tonbe sou nou, e pran nou kòm esklav avèk bourik nou yo.”
And they were afraid the men that they were brought [the] house of Joseph and they said on [the] matter of the silver which returned in sacks our at the beginning we [are] being brought to roll himself on us and to throw himself on us and to take us to slaves and donkeys our.
19 Pou sa a, yo te vin pwoche chèf domestik la. Yo te pale ak li nan antre kay la,
And they approached the man who [was] over [the] household of Joseph and they spoke to him [the] entrance of the house.
20 e yo te di: “O mèt mwen, vrèman nou te desann premye fwa a pou achte manje,
And they said pardon us O lord my certainly we came down at the beginning to buy food.
21 men sa te fè ke lè nou rive nan lojman nou, pou louvri sak nou, konsa, nou jwenn kòb chak moun nan bouch sak li! Tout kòb nou nèt! Konsa, nou te retounen pote li nan men nou.
And it was that we came to the lodging place and we opened! sacks our and there! [the] silver of each man [was] in [the] mouth of sack his silver our in weight its and we have brought back it in hand our.
22 Nou te pote osi, lajan anplis nan men nou pou achte manje. Nou pa konnen kilès ki te mete kòb nou yo nan sak nou yo.”
And silver other we have brought down in hand our to buy food not we know who? did he put silver our in sacks our.
23 Li te di: “Rete anpè, nou pa bezwen pè. Bondye pa nou an e Bondye papa nou an te bannou trezò nan sak nou yo. Mwen te resevwa kòb nou an.” Epi li te mennen Siméon deyò bay yo.
And he said peace [be] to you may not you fear God your and [the] God of father your he gave to you treasure in sacks your silver your it came to me and he brought out to them Simeon.
24 Epi nonm nan te mennen mesye yo antre lakay Joseph. Li te bay yo dlo, e yo te lave pye pa yo. Li te bay bourik yo manje.
And he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph and he gave water and they washed feet their and he gave fodder to donkeys their.
25 Konsa, yo te prepare kado yo pou lè Joseph ta vin parèt a midi, paske yo te tande ke yo te gen pou manje la.
And they prepared the gift until came Joseph at noon for they had heard that there they will eat food.
26 Lè Joseph te rive lakay li, yo te pote kado ki te nan men yo bò kote li nan kay la, e yo te bese atè devan li.
And he came Joseph the house towards and they brought to him the gift which [was] in hand their the house towards and they bowed down to him [the] ground towards.
27 Li te mande yo si tout bagay ale byen. Li te di: “Èske granmoun sou sila nou te pale m nan toujou vivan?”
And he asked of them to welfare and he said ¿ health [is] father your old whom you spoke ¿ [is] still he alive.
28 Yo te di: “Sèvitè ou a, papa nou toujou byen; li toujou vivan.” Yo te bese ba pou bay respè.
And they said health [belongs] to servant your to father our still he [is] alive and they bowed low (and they bowed down. *Q(K)*)
29 Lè li te leve zye li, li te wè frè li, Benjamin, fis a manman l lan, e li te di: “Èske se sila a ki pi jenn frè nou ke nou te pale m nan?” Konsa, li te di: “Ke Bondye kapab fè ou gras, fis mwen.”
And he lifted up eyes his and he saw Benjamin brother his [the] son of mother his and he said ¿ [is] this brother your young whom you spoke to me and he said God may he show favor to you O son my.
30 Konsa, Joseph te fè vit ale deyò, paske li te tèlman touche byen fon pa prezans frè li yo, e li te chache yon kote pou l ta kab kriye. Li te antre nan chanm li an, e li te kriye la.
And he hurried Joseph for they grew warm compassion his to brother his and he sought to weep and he went the inner room towards and he wept there.
31 Alò, li te lave figi li, e li te vin parèt deyò. Li te kontwole tèt li, e te di: “Sèvi manje a.”
And he washed face his and he came out and he restrained himself and he said set food.
32 Epi yo te sèvi Joseph nan yon kote pou kont li, e lòt Ejipsyen yo pou kont yo, paske yon Ejipsyen pa t kapab manje avèk yon Ebre. Paske sa se yon abominasyon pou Ejipsyen yo.
And they set for him to only him and to them to alone them and for the Egyptians who were eating with him to alone them for not they were able! the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews food for [is] an abomination it to Egypt.
33 Alò, yo te chita devan li, premye ne a, selon dwa nesans li, pi jenn nan selon jennès li, e mesye yo t ap gade youn lòt byen etone.
And they sat down before him the firstborn according to birthright his and the young [brother] according to youth his and they looked in astonishment the men each to neighbor his.
34 Li te pran pòsyon manje pa yo sòti nan pwòp tab li, men pòsyon Benjamin an te senk fwa plis ke tout lòt yo. Epi yo te manje e bwè, e fè kè kontan avèk li.
And someone took portions from with face his to them and it was great [the] portion of Benjamin more than [the] portions of all of them five hands and they drank and they became drunk with him.
