Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Alò, Isaac te rele Jacob, li te beni li, li te kòmande li, e li te di: “Ou p ap pran yon fanm nan fi Canaan yo.”
2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
“Leve ale Paddan-Aram, lakay Bethuel, papa a manman ou. De la, pran yon madanm pami fi a Laban yo, frè manman ou an.
3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
“Ke Bondye Toupwisan an kapab beni ou, bay ou anpil fwi, e fè ou miltipliye pou yo kapab devni yon gran fòs kantite moun.
4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”
Ke li kapab osi bay ou benediksyon Abraham nan, pou ou menm, ak pou desandan ou yo osi, ke ou kapab posede peyi kote w ap demere a, ke Bondye te bay a Abraham nan.”
5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Alò, Isaac te voye Jacob ale. Li te ale Paddan-Aram a Laban, fis a Bethuel la, Arameyen an, frè Rebecca, manman a Jacob ak Ésaü.
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
Epi Ésaü te wè ke Isaac te beni Jacob e te voye li ale Paddan-Aram pou pran pou li menm yon madanm, e ke lè li te beni li, li te bay li lòd, e te di: “Ou pa pou pran yon madanm nan fi a Canaan yo,”
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
epi ke Jacob te obeyi papa li, ak manman li, li te ale Paddan-Aram.
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
Konsa Ésaü te wè ke fi Canaan yo pa t plè papa li Isaac.
9 So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Konsa, Ésaü te ale kote Ismaël, e li te marye, anplis ke madanm yo li te gen deja, Mahalath, fi Ismaël la, fis Abraham nan, sè Nebajoth la.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Konsa, Jacob te kite Beer-Schéba e te ale vè Charan.
11 He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Li te vini nan yon sèten kote pou te pase nwit lan la, akoz solèy la te gen tan fin kouche. Li te pran youn nan wòch yo, li te mete l anba tèt li, e li te kouche la nan plas sila a.
12 He dreamed and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Li te fè yon rèv, e li te gade yon nechèl yo te mete sou latè, tèt li te rive nan syèl la. Epi gade, zanj Bondye yo t ap monte desann sou li.
13 Behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
Epi, gade byen, SENYÈ a te kanpe anwo li. Li te di: “Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye papa Abraham nan ak Bondye Isaac la. Tè sa kote ou kouche a, Mwen va bay ou li pou ou menm ak desandan ou yo.
14 Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
Desandan ou yo va tankou pousyè latè, e ou va gaye nan lwès, nan lès, nan nò, ak nan sid. Konsa, nan ou avèk desandan ou yo, tout fanmi sou latè yo va beni.
15 Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”
“Gade byen, Mwen avèk ou. Mwen va kenbe ou nenpòt kote ou ale, e Mwen va fè ou retounen nan peyi sa a. Paske Mwen p ap kite ou jiskaske Mwen fin fè tout sa ke M te pwomèt nou an.”
16 Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Alò, Jacob te leve nan dòmi an, e li te di: “Anverite SENYÈ a nan plas sila a, e mwen pa t konnen.”
17 He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”
Li te pè, e li te di: “Alò, A la etonnan plas sa a etonnan! Sila a pa lòt ke lakay Bondye, e sa se pòtay Syèl la.”
18 Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
Konsa, Jacob te leve bonè nan maten. Li te pran wòch ke li te plase anba tèt li a, e li te etabli li tankou yon pilye. Li te vide lwil sou tèt pilye a.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
Li te rele plas sa a Béthel, men oparavan non a vil sa a se te Luz.
20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
Epi Jacob te fè yon sèman. Li te di: “Si Bondye ale avèk mwen, si Li va kenbe mwen nan vwayaj sila ke m ap fè a, e Li va ban mwen manje pou m manje, ak rad pou m mete,
21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and the LORD will be my God,
pou m ka retounen lakay papa m anpè, pou SENYÈ a va Bondye pa m,
22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
alò, wòch sila a, ke m etabli tankou pilye a, va devni Lakay Bondye. Nan tout sa ke ou ban mwen, mwen va anverite bay yon dim a Ou menm.”
