Genesis 24
1 And Abraham [is] old, he hath entered into days, and Jehovah hath blessed Abraham in all [things];
Abraram te fin vye. Li te antre nan granmoun. Seyè a te beni Abraram nan tout bagay.
2 and Abraham saith unto his servant, the eldest of his house, who is ruling over all that he hath, 'Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh,
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 and I cause thee to swear by Jehovah, God of the heavens, and God of the earth, that thou dost not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in the midst of whom I am dwelling;
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 unto my land and unto my kindred dost thou go, and hast taken a wife for my son, for 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 And the servant saith unto him, 'It may be the woman is not willing to come after me unto this land; do I at all cause thy son to turn back unto the land from whence thou camest out?'
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 Abraham saith unto him, 'Take heed to thyself, lest thou cause my son to turn back thither;
Abraram reponn li: -Non, non, non! Pa janm mennen pitit mwen an laba a!
7 Jehovah, God of the heavens, who hath taken me from the house of my father, and from the land of my birth, and who hath spoken to me, and who hath sworn to me, saying, To thy seed I give this land, He doth send His messenger before thee, and thou hast taken a wife for my son 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 and if the woman be not willing to come after thee, then thou hast been acquitted from this mine oath: only my son thou dost not cause to turn back thither.'
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 servant putteth his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and sweareth to him concerning this 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 servant taketh ten camels of the camels of his lord and goeth, also of all the goods of his lord in his hand, and he riseth, and goeth unto Aram-Naharaim, unto the city 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 he causeth the camels to kneel at the outside of the city, at the well of water, at even-time, at the time of the coming out of the women who draw 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 saith, 'Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, cause to meet, I pray Thee, before me this day — (and do kindness with my lord 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 am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;
Men mwen kanpe bò pi a, kote medam yo ap vin chache dlo.
14 and it hath been, the young person unto whom I say, Incline, I pray thee, thy pitcher, and I drink, and she hath said, Drink, and I water also thy camels) — her Thou hast decided for Thy servant, for Isaac; and by it I know that Thou hast done kindness with my lord.'
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 cometh to pass, before he hath finished speaking, that lo, Rebekah (who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, wife of Nahor, brother of Abraham) is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder,
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 and the young person [is] of very good appearance, a virgin, and a man hath not known her; and she goeth down to the fountain, and filleth her pitcher, and cometh up.
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 And the servant runneth to meet her, and saith, 'Let me swallow, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher;'
Domestik la kouri al jwenn li, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo nan krich ou a non.
18 and she saith, 'Drink, my lord;' and she hasteth, and letteth down her pitcher upon her hand, and giveth him drink.
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 she finisheth giving him drink, and saith, 'Also for thy camels I draw till they have finished drinking;'
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 hasteth, and emptieth her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and runneth again unto the well to draw, and draweth 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 man, wondering at her, remaineth silent, to know whether Jehovah hath made his way 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 it cometh to pass when the camels have finished drinking, that the man taketh a golden ring (whose weight [is] a bekah), and two bracelets for her hands (whose weight [is] ten [bekahs] 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 saith, 'Whose daughter [art] thou? declare to me, I pray thee, is the house of thy father a place for us 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 saith unto him, 'I [am] daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she hath borne to Nahor.'
Jenn fi a reponn: -Mwen se pitit fi Betwèl, yonn nan pitit gason Milka ak Nakò.
25 She saith also unto him, 'Both straw and provender [are] abundant with us, also a place 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 boweth, and doth obeisance to Jehovah,
Lè sa a, nonm lan tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Seyè a.
27 and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath not left off His kindness and His truth with my lord; — I [being] in the way, Jehovah hath led me to the house of my lord's brethren.'
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 young person runneth, and declareth to the house of her mother according to these words.
Jenn fi a kouri lakay manman l'. Li rakonte tout sa ki te rive.
29 And Rebekah hath a brother, and his name [is] Laban, and Laban runneth unto the man who [is] without, unto the fountain;
Rebeka te gen yon frè yo rele Laban. Laban kouri deyò al jwenn nonm lan bò sous la.
30 yea, it cometh to pass, when he seeth the ring, and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heareth the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, 'Thus hath the man spoken unto me,' that he cometh in unto the man, and lo, he is standing by the camels by the fountain.
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 he saith, 'Come in, O blessed one of Jehovah, why standest thou without, and I — I have prepared the house and place 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 he bringeth in the man into the house, and looseth the camels, and giveth straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who [are] 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 setteth before him to eat; but he saith, 'I do not eat till I have spoken my word;' and he saith, 'Speak.'
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 saith, 'I [am] Abraham's servant;
Msye pran lapawòl, li di: -Mwen se domestik Abraram.
35 and Jehovah hath blessed my lord exceedingly, and he is great; and He giveth to him flock, and herd, and silver, and gold, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and 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 Sarah, my lord's wife, beareth a son to my lord, after she hath been aged, and he giveth to him 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 lord causeth me to swear, saying, Thou dost not take a wife to my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling.
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 If not — unto the house of my father thou dost go, and unto my family, and thou hast taken a wife for my son.
Men se pou m ale lakay papa l' pou mwen chwazi yon madanm nan ras li pou pitit gason l' lan.
39 'And I say unto my lord, It may be the woman doth not come after me;
Lè sa a, mwen di mèt mwen: Bon, si fi a pa vle vini avè m', kisa pou m' fè?
40 and he saith unto me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked habitually, doth send His messenger with thee, and hath prospered thy way, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from my family, and from the house of my father;
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 then art thou acquitted from my oath, when thou comest unto my family, and if they give not [one] to thee; then thou hast been acquitted from my oath.
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 come to-day unto the fountain, and I say, Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, if Thou art, I pray Thee, making prosperous my way in which I am going —
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 (lo, I am standing by the fountain of water), then the virgin who is coming out to draw, and I have said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher,
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 hath said unto me, Both drink thou, and also for thy camels I draw — she is the woman whom Jehovah hath decided for my lord's son.
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 'Before I finish speaking unto my heart, then lo, Rebekah is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder, and she goeth down to the fountain, and draweth; and I say unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee,
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 hasteth and letteth down her pitcher from off her and saith, Drink, and thy camels also I water; and I drink, and the camels also she hath watered.
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 ask her, and say, Whose daughter [art] thou? and she saith, Daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah hath borne to him, and I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands,
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 bow, and do obeisance before Jehovah, and I bless Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath led me in the true way to receive the daughter of my lord's brother for his son.
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 'And now, if ye are dealing kindly and truly with my lord, declare to me; and if not, declare to me; and I turn unto the right or unto 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 And Laban answereth — Bethuel also — and they say, 'The thing hath gone out from Jehovah; we are not able to speak unto thee bad or good;
Laban ak Betwèl reponn: -Bagay sa a se travay Seyè a, Bondye a. Nou pa gen anyen pou n' di nan sa.
51 lo, Rebekah [is] before thee, take and go, and she is a wife to thy lord's son, as Jehovah hath spoken.'
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 it cometh to pass, when the servant of Abraham hath heard their words, that he boweth himself towards the earth before Jehovah;
Lè domestik Abraram lan tande sa, li tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Seyè a.
53 and the servant taketh out vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and giveth to Rebekah; precious things also he hath given to her brother and to her mother.
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 they eat and drink, he and the men who [are] with him, and lodge all night; and they rise in the morning, and he saith, 'Send me to my lord;'
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 and her brother saith — her mother also — 'Let the young person abide with us a week or ten days, afterwards doth she go.'
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 saith unto them, 'Do not delay me, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way; send me away, and I go to my lord;'
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 say, 'Let us call for the young person, and ask at her mouth;'
Yo di l': -Bon. Ann rele fi a. Ann mande l' sa l' di nan sa.
58 and they call for Rebekah, and say unto her, 'Dost thou go with this man?' and she saith, 'I go.'
Yo rele Rebeka, yo mande l': -Eske ou vle ale ak nonm sa a? Li reponn: -Wi, mwen vle ale.
59 And they send away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men;
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 bless Rebekah, and say to her, 'Thou [art] our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and thy seed doth possess the gate of those hating it.'
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 Rebekah and her young women arise, and ride on the camels, and go after the man; and the servant taketh Rebekah and goeth.
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 hath come in from the entrance of the Well of the Living One, my Beholder; and he is dwelling in the land of the south,
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 Isaac goeth out to meditate in the field, at the turning of the evening, and he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, camels are coming.
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 Rebekah lifteth up her eyes, and seeth Isaac, and alighteth from off the camel;
Menm lè a tou, Rebeka leve je l', li wè Izarak. Li desann chamo a.
65 and she saith unto the servant, 'Who [is] this man who is walking in the field to meet us?' and the servant saith, 'It [is] my lord;' and she taketh the veil, and covereth herself.
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 servant recounteth to Isaac all the things that he hath done,
Domestik la rakonte Izarak tout sa li te fè.
67 and Isaac bringeth her in unto the tent of Sarah his mother, and he taketh Rebekah, and she becometh his wife, and he loveth her, and Isaac is comforted after [the death of] 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.
