Genesis 32
1 Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him.
Alò, pandan Jacob te fin pran wout li, zanj Bondye yo te rankontre li.
2 And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
Jacob te di lè li te wè yo: “Sa se lame Bondye a.” Konsa, li te nonmen plas sa a Mahanaïm.
3 Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom:
Alò, Jacob te voye mesaje yo devan li kote frè li Ésaü nan peyi Séir a nan teritwa Édom an.
4 To whom he gaue commandement, saying, Thus shall ye speake to my lorde Esau: thy seruant Iaakob sayeth thus, I haue bene a stranger with Laban, and taried vnto this time.
Li te bay mesaje yo lòd, e li te di: “Konsa ou va pale a mèt mwen an, Ésaü: ‘Men sa ke sèvitè ou, Jacob di ou: Mwen te vin rete avèk Laban, e mwen te demere la jis rive koulye a.
5 I haue beeues also and Asses, sheepe, and men seruantes, and women seruantes, and haue sent to shew my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
Mwen gen bèf avèk bourik, avèk bann mouton, sèvitè avèk sèvant. M ap voye pou di mèt mwen sa, pou m kapab vin jwenn favè nan zye w.’”
6 So ye messengers came againe to Iaakob, saying, We came vnto thy brother Esau, and hee also commeth against thee and foure hundreth men with him.
Mesaje yo te retounen vè Jacob. Yo te di li: “Nou te rankontre frè ou Ésaü. Konsa, li ap vin kote ou avèk kat-san òm.”
7 Then Iaakob was greatly afraid, and was sore troubled, and deuided the people that was with him, and the sheepe, and the beeues, and the camels into two companies.
Epi Jacob te vin pè anpil, e byen twouble. Li te divize moun ki te avè l yo, bann mouton, twoupo bèf ak chamo pou fè de konpanyen.
8 For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape.
Konsa, li te di: “Si Ésaü ta vin atake youn nan konpanyen yo, alò, konpanyen ki rete a va chape.”
9 Moreouer Iaakob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Izhak: Lord, which saydest vnto me, Returne vnto thy coutrey and to thy kinred, and I will do thee good,
Jacob te di: “O Bondye a papa m nan Abraham e Bondye a papa m nan Isaac, O SENYÈ ki te di mwen an: ‘Retounen nan peyi ou, e a moun fanmi ou yo, e mwen va fè ou vin pwospere,’
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and al the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe came I ouer this Iorden, and now haue I gotte two bads.
mwen pa merite tout lanmou, mizerikòd ak fidelite ke ou te montre sèvitè ou a; paske se sèl avèk baton mwen ke m te travèse rivyè Jourdain an, men koulye a nou vin de konpanyen.
11 I pray thee, Deliuer me from the hande of my brother, from the hande of Esau: for I feare him, least he will come and smite me, and the mother vpon the children.
Delivre mwen, souple anba men frè m nan, anba men Ésaü; paske mwen pè li, pou li pa vin atake mwen avèk manman yo, ak timoun yo.
12 For thou saydest; I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seede as the sande of the sea, which can not be nombred for multitude.
Paske ou te di: ‘Anverite, Mwen va fè nou vin pwospere, e fè desandan nou yo vin tankou sab lanmè a, k ap twò gran pou konte.’”
13 And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
Epi li te pase nwit lan la. Alò, li te chwazi nan sa li te gen avè l yo kòm yon kado pou frè li, Ésaü:
14 Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
De-san kabrit femèl, ven kabrit mal, de-san femèl mouton, ak ven mal,
15 Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
trant chamo ki t ap bay lèt a pitit pa yo, karant bèf avèk dis towo, ven bourik femèl, ak dis ti bourik.
16 So he deliuered them into the hande of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and saide vnto his seruants, Passe before me, and put a space betweene droue and droue.
Li te livre yo nan men a sèvitè li yo. Chak ekip te mache pou kont li, e li te di a sèvitè li yo: “Pase devan m, e mete yon espas antre de bann yo.”
17 And he commanded the formost, saying, If Esau my brother meete thee, and aske thee, saying, Whose seruant art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee?
Li te kòmande sila ki te devan an e li te di li: “Lè frè m Ésaü vin rankontre ou, e mande ou: ‘Pou kilès ou ye, kibò w prale, e pou kilès bèt sa yo ki devan ou yo ye?’
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iaakobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and beholde, he him selfe also is behinde vs.
Alò, ou va di: ‘Se pou sèvitè ou, Jacob. Se yon kado ke li voye bay mèt mwen, Ésaü. Men gade byen, li la dèyè nou.’”
19 So likewise commanded he the seconde and the thirde, and all that followed the droues, saying, After this maner, ye shall speake vnto Esau, when ye finde him.
Li te kòmande osi a dezyèm nan, a twazyèm nan, ak tout sa ki te swiv ekip yo, e li te di: “Se konsa nou va pale avèk Ésaü lè nou rankontre li.
20 And ye shall say moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iaakob commeth after vs (for he thought, I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterwarde I will see his face: it may be that he will accept me.)
Ou va di: ‘Gade, men sèvitè ou Jacob dèyè nou an tou.’ Paske li te di: ‘Mwen va satisfè li avèk kado ki ale devan m yo. E apre, mwen va wè figi li. Petèt li kapab aksepte mwen.’”
21 So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
Epi kado a te pase devan li, e li menm te pase nwit lan menm kote li te fè kan an.
22 And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok.
Alò, li te leve pandan menm nwit lan, e li te pran de madanm li yo avèk de sèvant li yo, onz pitit li yo, e li te travèse lariviyè a bò kote Jabbok la.
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
Li te pran yo, e li te voye yo travèse dlo a. Konsa, li te voye travèse ak tout sa li te genyen.
24 Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
Konsa, Jacob te rete tout sèl, e yon nonm te vin lite avèk li jis rive granmmaten.
25 And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him.
Lè li te wè ke li pa t genyen l, li te touche gwo jwenti janm li (anwo kote l tache nan kò a), epi li te vin dejwente pandan li t ap lite avè l.
26 And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
Epi nonm nan te di: “Lage m, paske jou a pwòch.” Men Jacob te di: “Mwen p ap lage ou amwenske ke ou beni m.”
27 Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
Alò, li te di li: “Kòman yo rele ou?” Li te reponn: “Jacob.”
28 Then said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men.
Li te di: “Yo p ap rele ou Jacob ankò, men Israël; paske ou te lite avèk Bondye, e avèk lòm, epi ou te reyisi.”
29 Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there
Alò Jacob te mande li: “Souple, di m non ou.” Li te reponn: “Poukisa ou mande m non mwen?” Epi li te beni li la.
30 And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.
Konsa, Jacob te nonmen kote sa Peniel, paske li te di: “Mwen te wè Bondye fasafas, malgre sa, vi mwen te prezève.”
31 And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
Alò, solèy la te leve sou li nan menm moman li t ap travèse Peniel la, e li te bwate akoz gwo janm nan.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh.
Pou sa, jis jounen jodi a, fis Israël yo pa manje tandon ki tache nan gwo janm nan avèk anch ki sou jwenti a, akoz ke li te touche jwenti gwo janm nan tandon ki tache nan anch lan.
