Genesis 29
1 Therfor Jacob passide forth, and cam in to the eest lond;
Jakòb pran mache ankò, li ale nan direksyon peyi moun ki rete bò kote solèy leve a.
2 and seiy a pit in the feeld, and thre flockis of scheep restynge bisidis it, for whi scheep weren watrid therof, and the mouth therof was closid with a greet stoon.
Li rete konsa, li wè yon pi nan mitan savann lan. Te gen twa bann mouton ki te kouche bò pi a. Se nan pi sa a yo te konn pran dlo pou bay bèt yo bwè. Men te gen yon gwo wòch ki te bouche bouch pi a.
3 And the custom was that whanne alle scheep weren gaderid togidere, thei schulden turne awei the stoon, and whanne the flockis weren fillid thei schulden put it eft on the mouth of the pit.
Lè tout bèt yo te sanble, gadò yo te met ansanm pou wete wòch la sou bouch pi a pou fè bèt yo bwè. Apre sa, yo tounen met kouvèti a sou bouch pi a ankò.
4 And Jacob seide to the scheepherdis, Brithren, of whennus ben ye? Whiche answeriden, Of Aran.
Jakòb mande gadò mouton yo konsa: -Zanmi m' yo, moun ki bò nou ye? Yo reponn li: -Nou se moun Karan.
5 And he axide hem and seide, Wher ye knowen Laban, the sone of Nachor? Thei seiden, We knowen.
Li di yo: -Eske nou konnen Laban, pitit Nakò a? Yo reponn li: -Men wi, nou konnen l'.
6 Jacob seide, Is he hool? Thei seiden, He is in good staat; and lo! Rachel, his douytir, cometh with his flok.
Li mande yo: -Ban m' nouvèl li non. Li byen? Yo reponn li: -Li byen wi. Gade, men Rachèl, pitit fi li a, k'ap vini ak bann mouton li yo.
7 And Jacob seide, Yit myche of the dai is to come, and it is not tyme that the flockis be led ayen to the fooldis; sotheli yyue ye drynk to the scheep, and so lede ye hem ayen to mete.
Jakòb di yo: -Men, solèy la byen wo toujou, se poko lè pou nou antre mouton yo. Sak fè nou pa bay yo bwè, epi nou ta tounen mete yo nan manje?
8 Whiche answeriden, We moun not til alle scheep be gederid to gidere, and til we remouen the stoon fro the mouth of the pit to watir the flockis.
Yo reponn li: -Nou pa ka fè sa. Fòk nou tann tout bann mouton yo sanble. Atòkile, nou tout n'a met men ansanm pou n' woule wòch ki sou bouch pi a. Se lè sa a n'a bay mouton yo bwè.
9 Yit thei spaken, and lo! Rachel cam with the scheep of hir fadir.
Jakòb t'ap pale ak yo toujou lè Rachèl vin rive ak bann mouton papa l' yo. Se li menm ki te gade mouton l' yo pou li.
10 And whanne Jacob seiy hir, and knewe the douytir of his modris brothir, and the scheep of Laban his vncle, he remeuyde the stoon with which the pit was closid;
Kou Jakòb wè Rachèl, pitit fi Laban, frè manman l' lan, avèk bann mouton Laban yo, li pwoche, li woule wòch ki te sou bouch pi a, li bay bann mouton Laban yo bwè.
11 and whanne the flok was watrid, he kisside hir, and he wepte with `vois reisid.
Lè l' fini, li bo Rachèl. Apre sa, li pran kriye.
12 And he schewide to hir that he was the brothir of hir fadir, and the sone of Rebecca; and sche hastide, and telde to hir fadir.
Jakòb fè Rachèl konnen se ti fanmi Laban li ye, pitit Rebeka, sè Laban an. Rachèl kouri al di papa l' sa.
13 And whanne he hadde herd, that Jacob, the sone of his sistir, cam, he ran ayens hym, and he biclippide Jacob and kisside hym, and ledde in to his hows. Forsothe whanne the causis of the iurney weren herd,
Lè Laban tande se pitit sè li a, li kouri al jwenn li. Li pran l', li pase men nan kou l', li bo l', epi li mennen l' lakay li. Rive yo rive Jakòb rakonte l' tout sak te pase.
14 Laban answeride, Thou art my boon and my fleisch. And aftir that the daies of o moneth weren fillid, Laban seide to him,
Lè sa a, Laban di l': -Aa wi, se ras mwen ou ye vre. Jakòb rete pase yon mwa lakay Laban.
15 `Whethir for thou art my brothir, thou schalt serue me frely? seie thou what mede thou schalt take.
Laban mande Jakòb: -Ou se fanmi m', se vre. Men, sa pa vle di fòk ou sevi m' gratis pou sa. Di m' konbe pou m' peye ou?
16 Forsothe Laban hadde twei douytris, the name of the more was Lya, sotheli the lesse was clepid Rachel;
Laban te gen de pitit fi. Pi gran an te rele Leya, pi piti a te rele Rachèl.
17 but Lya was blere iyed, Rachel was of fair face, and semeli in siyt.
Leya te gen je pichpich, men Rachèl te gen bèl fòm kò, li te bèl anpil.
18 And Jacob louede Rachel, and seide, Y schal serue thee seuene yeer for Rachel thi lesse douytir.
Jakòb te renmen Rachèl. Li reponn Laban: M'ap sèvi avè ou sèt lanne pou Rachèl, dezyèm pitit fi ou la.
19 Laban answeride, It is betere that Y yyue hir to thee than to anothir man; dwelle thou at me.
Laban di l': Pito se ou menm mwen bay li pase m' bay yon lòt moun li. Ou mèt rete lakay mwen.
20 Therfor Jacob seruyde seuene yeer for Rachel; and the daies semyden fewe to hym for the greetnesse of loue.
Se konsa Jakòb pase sètan ap travay kay Laban pou l' te ka marye ak Rachèl. Sèt lanne yo te pase tankou dlo, paske li te renmen ti fi a.
21 And he seide to Laban, Yyue thou my wijf to me, for the tyme is fillid that Y entre to hir.
Lè lè a rive, Jakòb di Laban: -Bon. Li lè atò pou ou ban m' pitit fi ou la pou m' ka marye avè l'.
22 And whanne many cumpenyes of freendis weren clepid to the feeste, he made weddyngis,
Se konsa Laban fè yon gwo resepsyon nòs, li envite tout moun nan kanton an.
23 and in the euentid Laban brouyte in to hym Lya his douytir,
Men aswè, li te pran Leya, pitit fi li a, li mennen l' bay Jakòb ki kouche avè l'.
24 and yaf an handmaide, Selfa bi name, to the douyter. And whanne Jacob hadde entrid to hir bi custom, whanne the morewtid was maad, he seiy Lya,
Laban te pran Zilpa, yonn nan sèvant li yo, li bay Leya pou sèvant pa li.
25 and seide to his wyues fadir, What is it that thou woldist do? wher Y seruede not thee for Rachel? whi hast thou disseyued me?
Nan denmen maten, Jakòb vin wè se Leya yo te ba li. Li di Laban: -Kisa ou fè m' konsa? Eske se pa pou Rachèl mwen te sèvi avèk ou? Poukisa ou ban m' koutba sa a?
26 Laban answerde, It is not custom in oure place that we yyue first the `lesse douytris to weddyngis;
Laban di l': -Se pa koutim nou isit pou n' marye ti sè anvan gran sè.
27 fille thou the wouke of daies of this couplyng, and Y schal yyue to thee also this Rachel, for the werk in which thou schalt serue me bi othere seuene yeer.
Tann senmenn lan fin pase. Lè sa a, n'a fin fete nòs la. Apre sa, m'a ba ou Rachèl, si ou dakò pou sèvi avè m' pandan sèt lòt lanne ankò.
28 Jacob assentide to the couenaunt, and whanne the wouke was passid,
Jakòb tonbe dakò. Lè senmenn fèt la fin pase, Laban pran lòt pitit fi l' la, Rachèl, li bay Jakòb li pou madanm tou.
29 he weddide Rachel, to whom the fadir hadde youe Bala seruauntesse.
Laban pran Bila, yonn nan sèvant li yo, li bay Rachèl li pou sèvant li.
30 And at the laste he vside the weddyngis desirid, and settide the loue of the `wijf suynge bifore the former; and he seruede at Laban seuene othere yeer.
Jakòb kouche ak Rachèl. Li te renmen l' pi plis pase Leya. Li sèvi ak Laban pandan sèt lanne ankò.
31 Forsothe the Lord seiy that he dispiside Lya, and openyde hir wombe while the sistir dwellide bareyn.
Lè Seyè a wè jan Jakòb pa t' renmen Leya, li fè l' fè pitit. Men, Rachèl pa t' kapab fè pitit.
32 And Lia childide a sone conseyued, and clepide his name Ruben, and seide, The Lord seiy my mekenesse; now myn hosebonde schal loue me.
Leya vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason, li di: -Seyè a wè jan m'ap soufri. Koulye a, mari m' va renmen m'. Se konsa li rele l' Woubenn.
33 And eft sche conseyuede, `and childide a sone, and seide, For the Lord seiy that Y was dispisid, he yaf also this sone to me; and sche clepide his name Symeon.
Leya vin ansent ankò, li fè yon lòt gason. Li di: -Seyè a ban m' yon lòt gason ankò, paske li wè jan mari m' pa renmen m' menm. Se konsa li rele l' Simeyon.
34 And sche conseyuede the thridde tyme, and childide anothir sone, and she seide also, Now myn hosebonde schal be couplid to me, for Y childide thre sones to him; and therfor sche clepide his name Leuy.
Li vin ansent yon twazyèm fwa, li fè yon lòt pitit gason ankò. Li di: -Fwa sa a, mari m' pral rete avè m' nèt paske mwen fè twa pitit gason pou li. Se konsa li rele l' Levi.
35 The fourthe tyme sche conseyuede, and childide a sone, and seide, Now I schal knouleche to the Lord; and herfor she clepide his name Judas; and ceesside to childe.
Apre sa, li vin ansent ankò, li fè yon lòt pitit gason. Li di: -Fwa sa a, m'ap fè lwanj Seyè a. Se konsa li rele l' Jida. Apre sa, Leya sispann fè pitit.
