Genesis 24
1 Abraham was olde and stryken in dayes and the LORde had blessed him in all thinges.
Abraram te fin vye. Li te antre nan granmoun. Seyè a te beni Abraram nan tout bagay.
2 And he sayde vnto his eldest servaunte of his house which had the rule over all that he had: Put thy hande vnder my thye that
Abraram te gen yon domestik ki te pi ansyen pase tout lòt yo. Se li menm ki te jeran reskonsab tout byen li yo. Abraram di l' konsa: -Men, mete men ou nan fant janm mwen, fè sèman.
3 I maye make the swere by the LORde that is God of heauen and God of the erth that thou shalt not take a wyfe vnto my sonne of the doughters of the canaanytes amonge which I dwell.
Mwen vle pou ou fè sèman sou Seyè a, Bondye syèl la ak Bondye latè a, pou ou pa chwazi yon madanm pou pitit gason m' lan nan medam k'ap viv nan peyi Kanaran kote m' rete a.
4 But shalt goo vnto my contre and to my kynred and there take a wyfe vnto my sonne Isaac.
Men, se nan peyi pa m' pou ou ale, pou ou chwazi pami moun menm ras ak mwen yo yon madanm pou Izarak, pitit gason m' lan.
5 Tha sayde the seruaunte vnto him: what ad yf the woma wyll not agree to come with me vnto this lade shall I brynge thy sonne agayne vnto the lande which thou camest out of:
Domestik la mande l': -Kisa pou m' fè si fi a pa vle kite peyi l' pou l' vin avè m' nan peyi sa a? Eske se pou m' mennen pitit gason ou lan ale nan peyi kote ou te soti a?
6 And Abraha sayde vnto him: bewarre of that that thou brige not my sonne thither.
Abraram reponn li: -Non, non, non! Pa janm mennen pitit mwen an laba a!
7 The LORde God of heauen which toke me from my fathers house and from the lande where I was borne and which spake vnto me and sware vnto me saynge: vnto thy seed wyll I geue this lande he shall sende his angell before the yt thou mayst take a wife vnto my sonne from thence.
Seyè a, Bondye syèl la, te pran m' fè m' soti lakay papa m' ak nan peyi fanmi mwen. Li pale avè m'. Li fè m' sèman l'ap bay pitit pitit mwen yo peyi sa a. Enben, se li menm ki va fè zanj li pran devan ou, pou ou chwazi yon madanm nan moun laba yo pou pitit gason m' lan.
8 Neuerthelesse yf the woma will not agree to come with the than shalt thou be with out daunger of this ooth. But aboue all thinge brynge not my sonne thyther agayne.
Si madanm lan pa vle vin avè ou, w'a konnen ou kit ak sèman ou te fè m' lan. Sèlman, nenpòt jan, pa mennen pitit gason m' lan laba a.
9 And the seruaunte put his hand vnder the thye of Abraham and sware to him as concernynge that matter.
Domestik la mete men l' nan fant janm Abraram, mèt li, epi li sèmante pou l' fè sa l' mande l' fè a.
10 And the seruaunte toke. x. camels of the camels of his master and departed and had of all maner goodes of his master with him and stode vp and went to Mesopotamia vnto the cytie of Nahor.
Domestik la pran dis chamo nan chamo mèt li yo. Li pran yon kantite bèl bagay ki koute chè, li chaje chamo yo. Li leve, li pati, li ale lavil kote Nakò rete a nan peyi Mezopotami.
11 And made his camels to lye doune with out the cytie by a wels syde of water at euen: aboute the tyme that women come out to drawe water
Lè aswè rive, li fè chamo yo kouche bò pi ki lòt bò pòtay lavil la. Se te lè ti medam yo tè konn vin tire dlo.
12 and he sayde. LORde God of my master Abraha sende me good spede this daye and shewe mercy vnto my master Abraham.
Li lapriyè, li di: -Seyè, ou menm ki Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen, tanpri, fè m' jwenn jòdi a sa m'ap chache a. Moutre jan ou bon pou Abraram, mèt mwen.
13 Lo I stonde here by the well of water and the doughters of the men of this citie will come out to drawe water:
Men mwen kanpe bò pi a, kote medam yo ap vin chache dlo.
14 Now the damsell to whome I saye stoupe doune thy pytcher and let me drynke. Yf she saye drynke and I will geue thy camels drynke also yt same is she that thou hast ordened for they servaunte Isaac: yee and therby shall I knowe that thou hast shewed mercy on my master.
Mwen mande ou pou jenn fi ki va reponn mwen l'ap ban m' bwè lèfini l'ap bay chamo m' yo bwè tou, lè m'a di l': Tanpri, bese krich ou a ban m' ti gout dlo pou m' bwè, fè se li menm ou chwazi pou Izarak, sèvitè ou la. Lè sa a, m'a konnen jan ou bon pou mèt mwen vre.
15 And it came to passe yer he had leeft spakynge that Rebecca came out the doughter of Bethuell sonne to Melcha the wife of Nahor Abrahams brother and hir pytcher apon hir shulder:
Li t'ap pale toujou lè Rebeka parèt avèk yon krich sou zepòl li. Rebeka te pitit Betwèl. Betwèl sa a te pitit gason Milka ki te marye ak Nakò, frè Abraram lan.
16 The damsell was very fayre to loke apon and yet a mayde and vnknowen of man. And she went doune to the well and fylled hyr pytcher and came vp agayne.
Se te yon jenn fi. Li te bèl anpil, li te tifi. Li desann nan sous la, li plen krich li. Epi li moute soti deyò.
17 Then the seruaunte ranne vnto her and sayde: let me syppe a litle water of thi pither.
Domestik la kouri al jwenn li, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo nan krich ou a non.
18 And she sayde: drynke my lorde. And she hasted and late downe her pytcher apon hyr arme and gaue him drinke.
Rebeka reponn li: -Wi. Bwè non, msye. Li desann krich la soti sou zepòl li, li kenbe l' nan men l' pou fè nonm lan bwè.
19 And whe she had geven hym drynke she sayde: I will drawe water for thy camels also vntill they haue dronke ynough.
Lè nonm lan fin bwè, jenn fi a di l': -Mwen pral pran dlo pou chamo ou yo, pou yo ka bwè kont yo tou.
20 And she poured out hyr pitcher in to the trough hastely and ranne agayne vnto the well to fett water: and drewe for all his camels.
Li prese vide rès dlo krich la nan yon ti basen pou chamo yo bwè, epi li kouri desann nan sous la al chache dlo jouk tout chamo yo fin bwè kont yo.
21 And the felowe wondred at her. But helde his peace to wete whether the LORde had made his iourney prosperous or not.
Nonm lan menm te sezi. Li t'ap gade fi a san l' pa di anyen, li t'ap tann pou l' wè si Seyè a pa t' fè l' vwayaje pou gremesi.
22 And as the camels had lefte drynckynge he toke an earynge of halfe a sicle weght and. ij golden bracelettes for hyr hades of. x. sycles weyght of gold
Lè chamo yo fin bwè, nonm lan pran yon bèl zanno lò ki peze sis gram, li pase l' nan nen Rebeka. Li pran de bèl braslè ki peze san gram, li mete yo nan bra li.
23 and sayde vnto her: whose doughter art thou? tell me: ys there rowme in thy fathers house for vs to lodge in?
Epi li mande l': -Pitit ki moun ou ye? Tanpri, di m' non. Eske gen kote lakay papa ou pou m' pase nwit la avèk chamo m' yo?
24 And she sayde vnto him: I am the doughter of Bethuell the sonne of Milcha which she bare vnto Nahor:
Jenn fi a reponn: -Mwen se pitit fi Betwèl, yonn nan pitit gason Milka ak Nakò.
25 and sayde moreouer vnto him: we haue litter and prauonder ynough and also rowme to lodge in.
Li di l' anko: -Lakay nou, nou gen kont pay zèb pou chamo ou yo. Wa jwenn kote pou ou pase nwit la tou.
26 And the man bowed himselfe and worshipped the LORde
Lè sa a, nonm lan tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Seyè a.
27 and sayde: blessed be the LORde God of my master Abraham which ceasseth not to deale mercyfully and truly with my master And hath brought me the waye to my masters brothers house.
Li di: -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen an. Li gen pitye pou li, li kenbe pwomès li te fè l' la. Li mennen m' tout dwat lakay fanmi mèt mwen an.
28 And the damsell ranne and tolde them of her mothers house these thinges.
Jenn fi a kouri lakay manman l'. Li rakonte tout sa ki te rive.
29 And Rebecca had a brother called Laban. And Laban ranne out vnto the man to the well:
Rebeka te gen yon frè yo rele Laban. Laban kouri deyò al jwenn nonm lan bò sous la.
30 for as soone as he had sene the earynges and the bracelettes apon his sisters handes ad herde the wordes of Rebecca his sister saynge thus sayde the man vnto me than he went out vnto the man. And loo he stode yet with the camels by the well syde.
Li te wè zanno a nan nen sè li ak braslè yo nan bra l', li te tande l' ap rakonte sa nonm lan te di l'. Lamenm li al jwenn nonm lan ki te kanpe bò sous la ansanm ak chamo l' yo.
31 And Laban sayde: come in thou blessed of the LORde. Wherfore stondest thou without? I haue dressed the house and made rowme for the camels.
Laban di l': -Antre non. Ou se yon nonm Seyè a beni. Poukisa ou rete deyò a konsa? Mwen pare yon kote pou ou nan kay la. Gen plas pou chamo ou yo tou.
32 And than the ma came in to the house. And he vnbrydeld the camels: and brought litter and prauonder for the camels and water to weshe his fete and their fete that were with him
Nonm lan antre nan kay la. Laban desele chamo yo. Li fè ba yo pay ak zèb. Yo pare dlo pou nonm lan lave pye l', ansanm ak moun ki te avè l' yo.
33 and there was meate sett before him to eate. But he sayde: I will not eate vntill I haue sayde myne earede: And he sayde saye on.
Lèfini, yo sèvi yo manje. Men nonm lan di: -Anvan m' manje, se pou m' di sa m' gen pou m' di a. Laban di l': -Bon. Pale non.
34 And he sayde: I am Abrahas servaunte
Msye pran lapawòl, li di: -Mwen se domestik Abraram.
35 and the LORDE hath blessed my master out of measure that he is become greate and hath geven him shepe oxen syluer and golde menservauntes maydeservauntes camels ad asses.
Seyè a voye anpil benediksyon sou mèt mwen. Li fè l' vin grannèg. Li ba li mouton, bèf, lajan, lò, domestik, sèvant, chamo, bourik.
36 And Sara my masters wyfe bare him a sonne whe she was olde: and vnto him hath he geven all that he hath.
Sara, madanm mèt mwen, te fin vye granmoun lè li te resi fè yon pitit gason pou li. Mèt mwen bay pitit sa a tout sa li genyen.
37 And my master made me swere saynge: Thou shalt not take a wyfe to my sonne amonge the doughters of the cananytes in whose lade I dwell.
Mèt mwen fè m' fè sèman, li di m' piga m' chwazi yon madanm pou pitit gason l' lan nan medam moun peyi Kanaran kote l' rete a.
38 But thou shalt goo vnto my fathers house and to my kynred and there take a wyfe vnto my sonne.
Men se pou m ale lakay papa l' pou mwen chwazi yon madanm nan ras li pou pitit gason l' lan.
39 And I sayde vnto my master. What yf the wyfe will not folowe me?
Lè sa a, mwen di mèt mwen: Bon, si fi a pa vle vini avè m', kisa pou m' fè?
40 And he sayde vnto me: The LORde before whome I walke wyll sende his angell with the and prosper thy iourney that thou shalt take a wyfe for my sonne of my kynred and of my fathers house.
Li reponn mwen: Seyè a ki wè jan mwen toujou obeyi l' va voye zanj li avè ou. Li p'ap fè ou vwayaje pou gremesi. Ou va chwazi yon madanm nan fanmi papa m' pou gason m' lan.
41 But and yf (when thou comest vnto my kynred) they will not geue the one tha shalt thou bere no perell of myne oothe.
Si ou fè sa, w'a kit ak sèman ou te fè m' lan. Konsa tou, si ou rive kay fanmi m', si yo menm yo refize, w'a kit ak sèman ou te fè m' lan tou.
42 And I came this daye vnto the well and sayed: O LORde the God of my master Abraha yf it be so that thou makest my iourney which I go prosperous:
Jòdi a, lè m' rive bò sous dlo a, mwen di: Seyè, Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen an, si sa fè ou plezi, fè m' pa vwayaje pou gremesi.
43 beholde I stode by this well of water And when a virgyn cometh forth to drawe water and I saye to her: geue me a litle water of thi pitcher to drynke
Gade, m'ap rete kanpe bò sous dlo a. Lè m'a wè yon jenn fi k'ap vin chache dlo nan pi a, m'a va di l': Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo nan krich ou a pou m' bwè. Si li reponn mwen:
44 and she saye agayne to me: dryncke thou and I will also drawe water for thy camels: that same is the wife whom the LORde hath prepared for my masters sonne.
Ou mèt bwè! Apre sa, m'a bay chamo ou yo bwè tou, tanpri fè se li menm ou chwazi pou madanm pitit mèt mwen an.
45 And before I had made an ende of speakynge in myne harte: beholde Rebecca came forth and hir pitcher on hir shulder and she went doune vnto the well and drewe. And I sayde vnto her geue me drynke.
Mwen pa t' menm fin di pawòl sa yo nan kè m', lè m' wè Rebeka rive ak krich li sou zepòl li. Li desann nan sous la, li pran dlo epi mwen di l': Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo pou m' bwè.
46 And she made hast and toke doune hir pitcher from of hir ad sayd: drinke and I will geue thy camels drynke also. And I dranke and she gaue the camels drynke also.
Lamenm, li desann krich la soti sou zepòl li, li di m': Bwè non. Apre sa, m'a bay chamo ou yo bwè tou. Mwen bwè, epi li bay chamo m' yo bwè tou.
47 And I asked her saynge: whose doughter art thou? And she answered: the doughter of Bathuell Nahors sonne whome Milca bare vnto him. And I put the earynge vpon hir face and the bracelettes apon hir hondes.
Mwen mande l': Pitit ki moun ou ye? Li reponn mwen: Mwen se pitit fi Betwèl, pitit gason Milka ak Nakò. Lè sa a, mwen mete zanno a nan nen l', mwen mete braslè sa yo nan bra l'.
48 And I bowed my selfe and worshepped the LORde and blessed the LORde God of my master Abraha which had brought me the right waye to take my masters brothers doughter vnto his sonne.
Mwen tonbe ajenou, mwen bese tèt mwen jouk atè devan Seyè a, mwen fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, mèt mwen an, paske li mennen m' tout dwat lakay frè mèt mwen an, kote mwen jwenn yon madanm pou pitit gason l' lan.
49 Now therfore yf ye will deall mercyfully and truly with my master tell me. And yf no tell me also: that I maye turne me to the right hande or to the left.
Alèkile, si nou vle aji byen avè l', si nou vle fè l' konfyans, fè m' konnen. Si nou pa dakò, fè m' konnen tou, pou m' ka konnen sa pou m' fè.
50 Than answered Laban and Bathuel saynge: The thinge is proceded even out of the lorde we can not therfore saye vnto the ether good or bad:
Laban ak Betwèl reponn: -Bagay sa a se travay Seyè a, Bondye a. Nou pa gen anyen pou n' di nan sa.
51 Beholde Rebecca before thy face take her and goo and let her be thy masters sonnes wife euen as the LORde hath sayde.
Men Rebeka devan ou, pran li, mennen l' ale pou l' vin madanm pitit gason mèt ou a, jan Bondye te di l' la.
52 And whe Abrahams servaunte herde their wordes he bowed him selfe vnto the LORde flatt vpon the erth.
Lè domestik Abraram lan tande sa, li tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Seyè a.
53 And the servaunte toke forth iewells of syluer and iewelles of gold and rayment and gaue them to Rebecca: But vnto hir brother and to hir mother he gaue spyces.
Apre sa, li pran rale bèl bijou fèt an ajan ak an lò ansanm ak rad, li bay Rebeka. Li te bay frè a ak manman an anpil bèl kado tou.
54 And then they ate and dranke both he and the men that were with him and taried all nyghte and rose vp in the mornynge. And he sayde: let me departe vnto my master.
Apre sa, domestik Abraram lan manje ansanm ak moun ki te avè l' yo, yo bwè, yo dòmi. Nan maten, lè yo leve, domestik la di: -Kite m' tounen al jwenn mèt mwen.
55 But hir brother and hir mother sayde: let the damsell abyde with vs a while ad it be but even. x. dayes and than goo thy wayes.
Men, frè a avèk manman an di konsa: -Kite fi a pase dis jou ankò avèk nou non. Apre sa, n'a pati.
56 And he sayde vnto them hinder me not: for the lorde hath prospered my iourney. Sende me awaye yt I maye goo vnto my master.
Li reponn yo: -Pa ban m' reta. Seyè a pa fè m' vwayaje pou gremesi. Tanpri, kite m' al jwenn mèt mwen.
57 And they sayde: let vs call the damsell and witt what she sayth to the matter.
Yo di l': -Bon. Ann rele fi a. Ann mande l' sa l' di nan sa.
58 And they called forth Rebecca ad sayde vnto her: wilt thou goo with this ma? And she sayde: Yee.
Yo rele Rebeka, yo mande l': -Eske ou vle ale ak nonm sa a? Li reponn: -Wi, mwen vle ale.
59 Than they broughte Rebecca their sister on the waye and her norse and Abrahas servaunte and the men that were wyth him.
Se konsa yo kite Rebeka, sè yo a, ansanm ak bòn ki te nouris li a pati avèk domestik Abraram lan, ansanm ak moun ki te vin avè l' yo.
60 And they blessed Rebecca and sayde vnto her: Thou art oure sister growe in to thousande thousandes and thy seed possesse ye gates of their emnies.
Yo beni Rebeka, yo di l': -Rebeka, sè nou, nou mande Bondye pou ou fè anpil anpil pitit. Se pou pitit pitit ou yo bat tout lènmi yo.
61 And Rebecca arose and hir damsels and satt the vp apo the camels and went their waye after the man. And ye servaunte toke Rebecca and went his waye
Apre sa, Rebeka avèk tout sèvant li yo leve, yo moute chamo yo, yo pati avèk nonm lan. Domestik la pran l', li pati ak li.
62 And Isaac was a comige from the well of ye lyvynge and seynge for he dwelt in the south cotre
Lè sa a, Izarak te vini nan dezè a, bò kote Pi moun vivan ki wè m' lan. Li te rete nan peyi Negèv.
63 and was gone out to walke in his meditatios before ye eue tyde. And he lyfte vp his eyes and loked and beholde ye camels were cominge.
Yon jou swa, Izarak t'ap pwonmennen deyò nan jaden li, li t'ap kalkile. Li leve je l', li gade, li wè kèk chamo ki t'ap vini.
64 And Rebecca lyfte vp hir eyes and whe she sawe Isaac she lyghted of the camel
Menm lè a tou, Rebeka leve je l', li wè Izarak. Li desann chamo a.
65 ad sayde vnto ye servaunte: what ma is this yt cometh agenst vs in the feld? And the servaute sayde: it is my master. And then she toke hir mantell ad put it aboute her.
Li mande domestik la: -Ki msye sa a k'ap mache vin jwenn nou nan jaden an? Domestik la reponn li: -Se mèt mwen an wi. Rebeka pran yon vwal, li bouche figi l'.
66 And the servaute tolde Isaac all that he had done.
Domestik la rakonte Izarak tout sa li te fè.
67 The Isaac broughte her in to his mother Saras tente ad toke Rebecca and she became his wife and he loved her: and so was Isaac coforted over his mother.
Izarak mennen Rebeka lakay li, kay ki te pou Sara, manman l' lan. Li pran l' pou madanm li. Izarak te renmen Rebeka. Se konsa li te jwenn konsolasyon, apre li te fin pèdi manman l' lan.
