Jenèz 35

1 Bondye di Jakòb: -Leve non, moute al Betèl, epi rete la. Bati yon lotèl la pou Bondye ki te parèt devan ou lan, lè ou t'ap kouri pou Ezaou, frè ou la.

And God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."

2 Se konsa Jakòb rele fanmi l' yo ansanm ak tout lòt moun ki avè l' yo. li di yo: -Pran tout lòt bondye etranje n'ap sèvi yo, voye yo jete. Mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Mete rad nèt sou nou.

Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

3 Nou pral kite kote nou ye a, nou pral Betèl, kote mwen pral bati yon lotèl pou Bondye ki te reponn lapriyè m' lè m' te anba tray la, pou Bondye ki te la avèk mwen kote m' pase nan vwayaj mwen te fè a.

Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I went."

4 Se konsa yo renmèt Jakòb tout bondye etranje yo te gen nan men yo ansanm ak tout zanno yo te gen nan zòrèy yo. Jakòb antere tout sa anba pye bwadchenn ki te toupre lavil Sichèm lan.

So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.

5 Apre sa, yo pati. tout moun ki te rete nan zòn lan te vin pè Bondye anpil. Yo yonn pa leve al rapouswiv pitit Jakòb yo.

Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

6 Jakòb rive ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo lavil Louz, nan peyi Kanaran. Se lavil sa a yo rele Betèl tou.

So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

7 Li bati yon lotèl la, li rele kote a Betèl, paske se la Bondye te parèt devan li lè li t'ap kouri pou frè l' la.

He built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

8 Lè sa a, Debora, bòn Rebeka a, mouri. Yo antere l' pi ba Betèl, anba pye bwadchenn lan. Se konsa yo rele pye bwadchenn lan: chenn dlo nan je a.

Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.

9 Lè Jakòb te tounen soti Mezopotami, Bondye parèt ankò devan li, li beni li.

And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

10 Bondye di l' konsa: -Yo rele ou Jakòb pa sa? Men, yo p'ap rele ou Jakòb ankò, y'a rele ou Izrayèl. Depi lè sa a, se Izrayèl yo rele l' vre.

God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So he called his name Israel.

11 Bondye di l' ankò: -Se mwen menm Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. W'ap gen anpil pitit ak pitit pitit. Gen ladan yo k'ap wa. W'ap si tèlman gen anpil pitit pitit, y'a tounen yon kantite nasyon.

And God said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.

12 Peyi mwen te bay Abraram ak Izarak la, m'ap ba ou li tou. Apre sa, m'ap bay pitit pitit ou yo li.

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."

13 Apre sa, Bondye kite l' kote li t'ap pale ak li a, li moute nan syèl.

Then God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

14 Jakòb pran yon gwo wòch, li plante l' pou l' make kote Bondye te pale avèk li a. Li pran diven, li wouze wòch la, apre sa li vide lwil sou li.

And Jacob set up a standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

15 Li rele kote Bondye te pale avè l' la Betèl.

Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.

16 Apre sa, yo pati yo kite Betèl. Yo pa t' twò lwen rive lavil Efrata lè lè a te rive pou Rachèl akouche. Li t'ap soufri anpil.

Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.

17 Lè doulè a te pi rèd, fanmchay la di l': -Ou pa bezwen pè. Ou fè yon pitit gason ankò.

When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."

18 Rachèl tapral mouri, li t'ap rann dènye souf li lè li rele pitit la Bennoni. Men papa a rele l' Benjamen.

It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.

19 Rachèl mouri, yo antere l' sou wout lavil Efrata. Se lavil sa a yo rele Betleyèm lan tou.

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20 Jakòb make tonm lan ak yon gwo wòch: yo rele l' Moniman tonm Rachèl la. Wòch la la jouk jòdi a.

Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.

21 Apre sa, Izrayèl pati, li al moute tant li lòt bò Migdaledè.

And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

22 Antan Jakòb t'ap viv nan peyi sa a, Woubenn al kouche ak Bila, yonn nan fanm papa l' yo. Izrayèl vin konn sa, li te fache anpil. Jakòb te gen douz pitit gason.

It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 Men non pitit Leya te fè pou li yo: Woubenn, premye pitit gason l' lan, Simeyon, Levi, Jida, Isaka ak Zabilon.

The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 Men non pitit Rachèl te fè pou li yo: Jozèf ak Benjamen.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 Men non pitit Bila, sèvant Rachèl la, te fè pou li yo: Dann ak Nèftali.

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali.

26 Men non pitit Zilpa, sèvant Leya a, te fè pou li yo: Gad ak Asè. Se tout pitit gason sa yo Jakòb te genyen antan li te nan peyi Mezopotami.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

27 Jakòb al wè papa l' Izarak, nan Manmre (yo rele kote sa a Kija aba tou, ou ankò Ebwon). Se la Abraram ak Izarak te pase tout lavi yo.

So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

28 Izarak te gen sankatreven lanne sou tèt li

Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

29 lè li mouri. Li te fin granmoun, li te wè kont jou li lè l' al jwenn moun li yo ki te mouri deja. Ezaou ak Jakòb, pitit gason l' yo, antere li.

And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
