Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way; and the angels of God met him.
Jakòb menm ale chemen chemen l'. Li kontre kèk zanj Bondye sou wout li.
2 And when Jacob saw them he said, This is the camp of God. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Lè li wè yo, li di: -Sa se lame Bondye a. Se konsa li rele kote a Manayim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before his face to Esau his brother, into the land of Seir, the fields of Edom.
Jakòb voye kèk komisyonè devan al jwenn Ezaou, frè li a, nan peyi Seyi, kote Edon te rete a.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord, to Esau: Thy servant Jacob speaks thus — With Laban have I sojourned and tarried until now;
Men sa li ba yo lòd pou yo di: -Men sa n'a di Ezaou, mèt mwen: Jakòb, nèg pa ou la, voye di ou konsa, li te pase tout tan sa a lakay Laban. Se poutèt sa li te pran tout reta sa a pou l' tounen.
5 and I have oxen, and asses, sheep, and bondmen, and bondwomen; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favour in thine eyes.
Li gen bèf, bourik, mouton, kabrit, domestik ak sèvant. Li voye di ou sa pou ou ka fè pa l'.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau; and he also is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
Lè mesaje yo tounen vin jwenn Jakòb, yo di l': -Nou t ale kote Ezaou, frè ou la. Koulye a li gen tan sou wout pou l' vin kontre ou. Li gen katsan (400) moun ak li.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and was distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the sheep and the cattle and the camels, into two troops.
Jakòb te pè anpil. Li te boulvèse. Li pran moun ki te avè l' yo, li fè yo fè de pòsyon. Li fè menm bagay la ak mouton, bèf, chamo li te genyen yo.
8 And he said, If Esau come to the one troop and smite it, then the other troop which is left shall escape.
Li t'ap di nan kè l': -Si Ezaou vin atake yon pòsyon, lòt pòsyon an va gen tan chape.
9 And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah, who saidst unto me: Return into thy country and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good,
Jakòb lapriyè, li di: -O Bondye Abraram granpapa m' lan, Bondye Izarak papa m' lan! O Seyè, ou menm ki te di m' tounen nan peyi m' kote m' te fèt la! W'a fè tout bagay mache byen pou mwen.
10 — I am too small for all the loving-kindness and all the faithfulness that thou hast shewn unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two troops.
Mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, mwen pa wè poukisa ou fè m' tout favè sa yo, poukisa ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou avè m'. Lè m' t'ap travèse larivyè Jouden, se annik yon baton mwen te gen nan men m'. Koulye a m'ap tounen, mwen tèlman genyen, mwen ka separe yo fè de pòsyon.
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, [and] the mother with the children.
Tanpri, delivre m' non anba men Ezaou, frè mwen an! Mwen pè pou l' pa vin atake nou, pou l' pa touye ata fanm yo ak timoun yo.
12 And thou saidst, I will certainly deal well with thee, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Chonje sa ou te di m' lan: M'ap fè tout bagay mache byen pou ou. M'ap si tèlman ba ou pitit pitit, moun p'ap ka konte yo. Y'ap tankou grenn sab bò lanmè.
13 And he lodged there that night; and took of what came to his hand a gift for Esau his brother —
Jakòb rete pase nwit la kote l' te ye a. Apre sa, nan sa l' te gen avè l' yo, li chwazi ladan yo pou fè Ezaou, frè l' la, kado.
14 two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats; two hundred ewes, and twenty rams;
Li pran desan (200) fenmèl kabrit ak vin bouk, desan fenmèl mouton ak vin belye,
15 thirty milch camels with their colts; forty kine, and ten bulls; twenty she-asses, and ten young asses.
trant fenmèl chamo nouris ak tout ti chamo yo dèyè yo, karant manman bèf, dis towo, vin fenmèl bourik ak dis mal bourik.
16 And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Li pran bèt yo, li mete chak kalite apa, li renmèt chak kalite bay yonn nan domestik li yo. Li di yo konsa: -Pran devan mwen. Chak moun ap kite yon distans nan mitan bèt pa l' yo ak bèt ki devan l' yo.
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets thee, and asks thee, saying, Whose art thou, and where goest thou, and whose are these before thee?
Epi li pase premye a lòd sa a: -Lè Ezaou, frè m' lan, va kontre ou, l'ap mande ou: Kilès ki mèt ou? Kote ou prale? Pou ki moun bèt sa yo w'ap pouse devan ou konsa a?
18 — then thou shalt say, Thy servant Jacob's: it is a gift sent to my lord, to Esau. And behold, he also is behind us.
W'a reponn li: Se pou Jakòb, nèg pa ou la. Se yon kado li voye bay Ezaou, mèt mwen an. Li menm, li dèyè, l'ap vini.
19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, According to this word shall ye speak to Esau when ye find him.
Li pase dezyèm lan, twazyèm lan ak tout lòt moun ki t'ap mache dèyè bèt yo menm lòd la. -Men sa nou gen pou n' di Ezaou, lè nou kontre l'.
20 And, moreover, ye shall say, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will propitiate him with the gift that goes before me, and afterwards I will see his face: perhaps he will accept me.
Se pou nou di: Wi, Jakòb, nèg pa ou la, ap vin dèyè nou pye pou pye. Jakòb t'ap di nan kè l'. Avèk tout kado m'ap voye devan m' lan, m'ap fè kè l' kontan. Konsa, lè n'a kontre, ou pa janm konnen, li ka fè pa m'.
21 And the gift went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Moun yo pran devan ak kado yo. Men Jakòb rete dèyè, li pase nwit la kote l' te ye a.
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok;
Menm jou lannwit sa a, Jakòb leve, li pran de madanm li yo, de sèvant li yo ak onz pitit gason li yo, li janbe lòt bò larivyè Jabòk, nan pas la.
23 and he took them and led them over the river, and led over what he had.
Apre li fin fè yo janbe larivyè a, li fè janbe tout sa li te genyen tou.
24 And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
Men li menm, li te rete pou kont li dèyè. Lè sa a, gen yon moun ki mare batay ak li, yo goumen jouk devanjou.
25 And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the joint of his thigh; and the joint of Jacob's thigh was dislocated as he wrestled with him.
Lè nonm lan wè li pa t' ka bat li, li bay Jakòb yon kou nan ren l'. Se konsa zo ren l' dejwente pandan yo t'ap goumen an.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the dawn ariseth. And he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me.
Nonm lan di l': -Kite m' ale, paske bajou pral kase. Jakòb reponn li: -Si ou pa beni mwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale.
27 And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Nonm lan di: -Ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: -Jakòb.
28 And he said, Thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast wrestled with God, and with men, and hast prevailed.
Nonm lan di l': -Yo p'ap rele ou Jakòb ankò. Y'ap rele ou Izrayèl, paske ou goumen ak Bondye, ou goumen ak moun, se ou menm ki genyen batay la.
29 And Jacob asked and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, How is it that thou askest after my name? And he blessed him there.
Jakòb mande l': -Tanpri, di m' ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: -Poukisa w'ap mande m' ki jan mwen rele? Apre sa li beni Jakòb.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel — For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved.
Jakòb di konsa: -Mwen wè Bondye, mwen pa mouri. Se konsa, li rele kote l' te ye a Penyèl.
31 And as he passed over Peniel, the sun rose upon him; and he limped upon his hip.
Solèy te gen tan ap leve lè Jakòb kite Penyèl, li t'ap bwete poutèt ren li.
32 Therefore the children of Israel do not eat of the sinew that is over the joint of the thigh, to this day; because he touched the joint of Jacob's thigh — the sinew.
Se poutèt sa, jouk jòdi a, pitit pitit Izrayèl yo pa manje venn ki kenbe zo ren an, paske se sou venn sa a Bondye te frape Jakòb.
