Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and saw, and behold! Esau his brother coming, and four hundred men with him; and Jacob divided the children to Lea and to Rachel, and the two handmaidens.
Jakòb leve je l' gade, li wè Ezaou ki t'ap mache vin jwenn li avèk katsan moun dèyè li. Li pran timoun yo, li separe yo, li bay Leya pa l' yo, li bay Rachèl pa l' yo, li bay de sèvant yo pa yo.
2 And he put the two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Li mete de sèvant yo devan nèt ak pitit yo, Leya ak pitit li yo nan mitan, Rachèl ak Jozèf dèyè nèt.
3 But he advanced himself before them, and did reverence to the ground seven times, until he drew near to his brother.
Li menm, li pran mache devan yo tout. Li bese tèt li jouk atè pandan sèt fwa, jouk li rive toupre Ezaou, frè li a.
4 And Esau ran on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both wept.
Ezaou menm kouri al kontre l', li pase bra l' nan kou l', li bat do l', li bo li. Epi yo tout de yo pran kriye.
5 And Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, What are these to you? And he said, The children with which God has mercifully blessed your servant.
Lè Ezaou voye je l' gade, li wè medam yo ak timoun yo. Li di: -Ki moun sa yo ki avè ou la a? Jakòb reponn li: -tout se pitit Seyè a bay nèg pa ou la.
6 And the maidservants and their children drew near and did reverence.
Lè sa a, sèvant yo pwoche ak timoun yo, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan Ezaou.
7 And Lea and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.
Apre sa, Leya pwoche ak timoun pa l' yo, yo bese tèt yo tout devan li. Andènye nèt, Jozèf ak Rachèl pwoche, yo bese tèt yo tout devan li.
8 And he said, What are these things to you, all these companies that I have met? And he said, That your servant might find grace in your sight, my lord.
Ezaou mande l': -Moun mwen kontre pi devan an, poukisa ou te voye yo? Jakòb reponn li: -Se pou m' te ka fè kè ou kontan.
9 And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep your own.
Ezaou di l': -Frè mwen, mwen gen tout sa m' bezwen. Ou mèt kenbe tou sa ou genyen pou ou.
10 And Jacob said, If I have found grace in your sight, receive the gifts through my hands; therefore have I seen your face, as if any one should see the face of God, and you shall be well-pleased with me.
Jakòb reponn li: -Non. Si ou kontan wè m' tout bon, tanpri, asepte kado m'ap ba ou yo. Paske, lè mwen kontre ou, se tankou si m' te wè figi Bondye. Gade jan ou resevwa m' byen.
11 Receive my blessings, which I have brought you, because God has had mercy on me, and I have all things; and he constrained him, and he took [them].
Tanpri, asepte kado m'ap ba ou yo, paske Bondye te beni m' anpil. Mwen pa manke anyen. Jakòb fòse Ezaou sitèlman, bout pou bout, Ezaou asepte.
12 And he said, Let us depart, and proceed right onward.
Li di: -Bon. Ann pati. Ann ale. M'ap pran devan ou.
13 And he said to him, My lord knows, that the children are very tender, and the flocks and the herds with me are with young; if then I shall drive them hard one day, all the cattle will die.
Men Jakòb reponn li: -Mèt mwen, ou konnen jan timoun yo fèb. Epi, fòk mwen pa bliye fenmèl mouton ak manman bèf yo ki nouris. Si m' fè yo mache twòp yon sèl jou, se kont pou yo tout mouri.
14 Let my lord go on before his servant, and I shall have strength on the road according to the ease of the journey before me, and according to the strength of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
Tanpri, mèt mwen, ou mèt pran devan nèg pa ou la, mwen menm m'ap vin dèyè ti pa ti pa, jan bèt yo ak timoun yo ka mache, jouk m'a rive lakay ou nan peyi Seyi.
15 And Esau said, I will leave with you some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favor before you, [my] lord.
Ezaou di l': -Bon. m'a kite kèk moun nan moun pa m' yo avè ou? Jakòb reponn: -Se pa nesesè. Yon sèl bagay mwen mande, se pou mèt mwen bliye tout bagay.
16 And Esau returned on that day on his journey to Seir.
Menm jou a, Ezaou pati tounen nan peyi Seyi.
17 And Jacob departs to his tents; and he made for himself there habitations, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of that place, Booths.
Jakòb menm pati pou Soukòt. Lè li rive la, li bati yon kay pou li ak yon pak pou bèt li yo. Se sak fè yo rele kote sa a Soukòt.
18 And Jacob came to Salem, a city of Secima, which is in the land of Chanaan, when he departed out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and took up a position in front of the city.
Lè Jakòb tounen soti Mezopotami, li rive anbyen lavil Sichèm, nan peyi Kanaran. Li moute tant li sou moso tè ki anfas lavil la.
19 And he bought the portion of the field, where he pitched his tent, of Emmor the father of Sychem, for a hundred lambs.
Li achte moso tè kote li te moute tant li a pou san (100) pyès lajan nan men pitit Amò yo. Se Amò sa a ki te papa Sichèm.
20 And he set up there an altar, and called on the God of Israel.
Jakòb bati yon lotèl la tou. Li rele l': Bondye se Bondye Izrayèl la.
