< Genesis 37 >

1 Forsothe Jacob dwellide in the lond of Canaan, in which his fadir was a pilgrym; and these weren the generaciouns of hym.
Men Jakòb rete rete l' nan peyi Kanaran kote papa l' te pase tout lavi l'.
2 Joseph whanne he was of sixtene yeer, yit a child, kepte a flok with hise britheren, and was with the sones of Bala and Zelfa, wyues of his fadir; and he accuside his britheren at the fadir of `the worste synne.
Men istwa fanmi Jakòb la. Jozèf te yon jenn gason disètan. Li t'ap gade mouton ak kabrit ansanm ak frè l' yo, pitit gason Bila ak Zilpa, fanm kay papa l' yo. Li te konn rapòte bay papa l' tout vye bagay yo t'ap fè.
3 Forsothe Israel louyde Joseph ouer alle hise sones, for he hadde gendrid hym in eelde; and he made to Joseph a cote of many colours.
Izrayèl menm te renmen Jozèf plis pase tout lòt pitit li yo, paske li te fin granmoun lè Jozèf te fèt. Li fè yon bèl varèz long ak manch pou li.
4 Forsothe hise britheren sien that he was loued of the fader more than alle, and thei hatiden hym, and myyten not speke ony thing pesibli to hym.
Lè frè l' yo wè jan papa yo te renmen Jozèf plis pase yo, yo pran rayi l'. Yo pa t' louvri bouch avè l' san yo pa joure l'.
5 And it bifelde that he telde to hise britheren a sweuene seyn, which cause was `the seed of more hatrede.
Yon jou, Jozèf fè yon rèv. Li rakonte l' bay frè li yo. Sa te fè yo rayi l' pi plis toujou.
6 And Joseph seide to his britheren, Here ye the sweuene which Y seiy,
Li di yo: -Mesye, tande yon rèv mwen fè.
7 Y gesside that we bounden to gidere handfuls, and that as myn handful roos, and stood, and that youre handfuls stoden aboute and worschipiden myn handful.
Mwen wè nou tout nou te nan jaden, chak moun t'ap mare yon pakèt zèb. Pakèt mwen an rete konsa li kanpe tout dwat pou kont li, epi tout pakèt pa nou yo fè wonn li, yo vin bese tèt devan pa m' lan tankou moun y'ap salwe.
8 Hise britheren answerden, Whether thou shalt be oure kyng, ethir we shulen be maad suget to thi lordschip? Therfor this cause of sweuenys and wordis mynystride the nurschyng of enuye, and of hatrede.
Frè l' yo di l': -Anhan! Ou vle di ou pral chèf nou, ou pral kòmande nou! Yo te vin rayi l' pi plis toujou poutèt rèv li te di yo li fè a.
9 Also Joseph seiy another sweuene, which he telde to the britheren, and seide, Y seiy bi a sweuene that as the sunne, and moone, and enleuen sterris worschipiden me.
Apre sa, Jozèf fè yon lòt rèv ankò. Li rakonte l' bay frè li yo. Li di yo: -Mwen fè yon lòt rèv. Mwen wè solèy la, lalen lan ansanm ak onz zetwal ki t'ap bese tèt devan mwen.
10 And whanne he hadde teld this sweuene to his fadir, and britheren, his fadir blamyde him, and seide, What wole this sweuene to it silf which thou hast seyn? Whether Y and thi modir, and thi britheren, schulen worschipe thee on erthe?
Li rakonte rèv la bay papa l' ansanm ak frè l' yo. Men papa a t'ap rale zòrèy li, li t'ap di l': -Ki kalite rèv w'ap fè konsa a? Koulye a, se pou mwen menm, manman ou ansanm ak onz frè ou yo, pou nou vin bese tèt devan ou?
11 Therfor hise britheren hadden enuye to hym. Forsothe the fadir bihelde pryuely the thing,
Frè Jozèf yo t'ap fè jalouzi, men papa l' t'ap kalkile tout bagay sa yo nan tèt li.
12 and whanne his britheren dwelliden in Sichem, aboute flockis of the fadir `to be kept,
Frè Jozèf yo leve, y ale jouk Sichèm ak bann bèt papa yo pou fè yo manje.
13 Israel seide to Joseph, Thi britheren kepen scheep in Sichymys; come thou, Y schal sende thee to hem.
Izrayèl rele Jozèf, li di l' konsa: -Frè ou yo mennen bèt yo jouk Sichèm al manje. Vini non, m'ap voye ou bò kote yo pou mwen. Jozèf reponn: -Men mwen wi, papa.
14 And whanne Joseph answerde, Y am redi, Israel seide, Go thou, and se whether alle thingis ben esi anentis thi britheren, and scheep; and telle thou to me what is doon. He was sent fro the valey of Ebron, and cam into Sichem;
Izrayèl di l' konsa: -Tanpri, ale we kouman frè ou yo ak bèt yo ye laba a. Apre sa, tounen vin pote nouvèl yo ban mwen. Konsa, se papa l' menm ki te fè l' pati kite Fon Ebwon an. Lè Jozèf rive Sichèm,
15 and a man foond hym errynge in the feeld, and `the man axide, what he souyte.
li pèdi wout li nan savann lan, li kontre ak yon nonm ki mande l': -Kisa w'ap chache konsa?
16 And he answerde, Y seke my britheren, schewe thou to me where thei kepten flockis.
Jozèf reponn li: -M'ap chache frè m' yo. Tanpri, di m' ki kote yo mennen bèt yo al manje.
17 And the man seide to hym, Thei yeden awei fro this place; forsothe Y herde hem seiynge, Go we into Dothaym. And Joseph yede aftir his britheren, and foond hem in Dothaym.
Nonm lan di l': -Yo te isit la wi, men yo pati deja. Mwen tande yo t'ap di yo pral Dotan. Jozèf pati dèyè frè l' yo, li jwenn yo Dotan.
18 And whanne thei hadden seyn hym afer, bifor that he neiyede to hem,
Men, anvan Jozèf te rive, yo te gen tan wè l' byen lwen ap vini. Yo fè konplo pou yo touye l'.
19 thei thouyten to sle hym, and spaken to gidere, Lo! the dremere cometh, come ye,
Yonn di lòt: -Men nonm ki renmen fè rèv la ap vini.
20 sle we hym, and sende we into an eld sisterne, and we schulen seie, A wielde beeste ful wickid hath deuourid hym; and thanne it schal appere what hise dremes profiten to hym.
Annou wè. N'ap touye l', n'ap jete kadav la nan yonn nan pi yo. Epi n'a di se bèt nan bwa ki touye l'. Konsa n'a wè si sa l' te wè nan rèv li yo va rive vre.
21 Sotheli Ruben herde this, and enforside to delyuere hym fro her hondis,
Woubenn t'ap koute yo, li t'ap chache yon jan pou sove Jozèf anba men yo. Li di yo: -Piga nou touye l'.
22 and seide, Sle we not the lijf of hym, nether schede we out his blood, but caste ye hym into an eeld cisterne, which is in the wildirnesse, and kepe ye youre hondis gilteles. Forsothe he seide this, willynge to delyuere hym fro her hondis, and to yelde to his fadir.
Pa fè san koule. Ann voye l' jete nan pi sa a ki nan dezè a. Men, pa leve men sou li. Li t'ap di yo sa paske li te fè lide sove l' anba men yo pou l' te voye l' tounen bay papa l'.
23 Therfor anoon as Joseph cam to hise britheren, thei dispuyliden hym of the coote, doun to the heele, and of many colours, and senten into the eeld cisterne,
Lè Jozèf rive bò kote frè l' yo, yo wete bèl varèz long ak manch ki te sou li a.
24 that hadde no water.
Yo pran l', yo jete l' nan pi a. Pi a te vid, li pa t' gen dlo.
25 And thei saten `to ete breed; and thei sien that Ismaelitis weigoers camen fro Galaad, and that her camels baren swete smellynge spiceries, and `rosyn, and stacten, into Egipt.
Apre sa, yo chita pou yo manje. Pandan yo leve je yo, konsa yo wè yon kolonn moun Izmayèl ki t'ap vwayaje. Yo te soti Galarad. Chamo yo te chaje ak gonm bwa, lansan ak lami yo t'ap pote al vann nan peyi Lejip.
26 Therfor Judas seide to hise britheren, What schal it profite to vs, if we schulen sle oure brother, and schulen hide his blood?
Jida di frè l' yo konsa: -Sa sa ap rapòte nou pou nou touye frè nou an epi apre sa pou nou kache sa?
27 It is betere that he be seeld to Ismalitis, and oure hondis be not defoulid, for he is oure brother and fleisch. The britheren assentiden to these wordis;
Annou vann li ak moun Izmayèl yo. Konsa nou p'ap bezwen leve men nou sou li. Apre tou, se frè nou li ye, se menm san ak nou. Frè l' yo tonbe dakò.
28 and whanne marchauntis of Madian passiden forth, thei drowen hym out of the cisterne, and seelden hym to Ismaelitis, for thriytti platis of siluer; whiche ledden hym in to Egipt.
Lè machann Madyan yo vin ap pase, yo rale Jozèf moute sot nan pi a. Yo vann li ak moun Izmayèl yo pou vin pyès lajan. Moun Izmayèl yo menm mennen l' nan peyi Lejip.
29 And Ruben turnede ayen to the cisterne, and foond not the child;
Lè Woubenn tounen nan pi a, li pa jwenn Jozèf ladan l'. Sa te fè l' lapenn anpil. Li chire rad ki te sou li a.
30 and he to-rente his closis, and he yede to hise britheren, and seide, The child apperith not, and whidir schal Y go?
Li tounen al jwenn frè li yo, li di yo: -Ti gason an pa nan pi a non! Kisa m' pral fè koulye a?
31 Forsothe thei token his coote, and dippiden in the blood of a kide, which thei hadden slayn; and senten men that baren to the fadir,
Yo touye yon bouk kabrit, yo pran bèl varèz Jozèf la, yo tranpe l' nan san an.
32 and seiden, We han founde this coote, se, whether it is the coote of thi sone, ether nai.
Yo voye varèz la bay papa yo ak komisyon sa a: -Men sa nou jwenn. Gade wè si se pa varèz pitit gason ou lan.
33 And whanne the fader hadde knowe it, he seide, It is the coote of my sone, a wielde beeste ful wickid hath ete hym, a beeste hath deuourid Joseph.
Jakòb rekonèt rad la, li di: -Men wi, se varèz pitit gason m' lan. Se yon bèt nan bwa ki devore l'. Bèt la dechèpiye l' nèt.
34 And he to-rente his clothis, and he was clothid with an heire, and biweilide his sone in myche tyme.
Sa ou tande a, yon sèl lapenn pran Jakòb, li chire rad ki te sou li, li mare yon tanga sak nan ren li. Li pase kèk tan ap kriye pou pitit gason l' lan.
35 Sothely whanne hise fre children weren gaderid to gidere, that thei schulden peese the sorewe of the fadir, he nolde take counfort, but seide, Y schal go doun in to helle, and schal biweile my sone. And the while Jacob contynude in wepyng, (Sheol h7585)
tout lòt gason l' yo ansanm ak pitit fi l' yo te vin ba l' kouraj, men li te refize tande sa yo t'ap di l'. Li t'ap plede repete: -M'ap kriye pou pitit gason m' lan jouk m al jwenn li lè m'a mouri. Se konsa li t'ap kriye pou pitit gason l' lan. (Sheol h7585)
36 Madianytis seelden Joseph into Egipt to Putifar, chast `and onest seruaunt of Farao, maistir of the chyualrie.
Pandan tout tan sa a, moun Madyan yo te gen tan vann Jozèf nan peyi Lejip ak Potifa, yonn nan chèf lame farawon an. Se li menm ki te kòmandan gad palè yo.
