Genesis 28
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Izarak rele Jakòb, li beni l'. Apre sa, li ba li lòd sa a: -Piga ou pran fi peyi Kanaran an pou madanm ou.
2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from there of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
Leve non, ale Mezopotami lakay Betwèl, papa manman ou. W'a pran yonn nan piti fi Laban yo pou madanm. Laban, se frè manman ou.
3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
Mwen mande Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pou l' beni maryaj ou, pou l' ba ou anpil pitit, pou ou tounen zansèt anpil nasyon.
4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land in which thou art a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.
Se pou l' beni ou, ou menm ansanm ak tout pitit pitit ou yo, menm jan li te beni Abraram, pou ou ka pran posesyon peyi kote w'ap viv koulye a, peyi li te deja bay Abraram lan.
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Se konsa Izarak fè Jakòb pati. Jakòb ale nan Mezopotami lakay Laban, pitit Betwèl, moun peyi Aram lan. Laban se te frè Rebeka, manman Jakòb ak Ezaou.
6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from there; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Ezaou vin konnen ki jan Izarak te beni Jakòb, ki jan li te voye l' Mezopotami al chache yon madanm. Li vin konnen tout lè Izarak t'ap beni Jakòb la, li te pase l' lòd sa a: Piga ou pran fi peyi Kanaran an pou madanm ou.
7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
Ezaou te wè Jakob te obeyi papa l' ak manman l', li te pati pou Mezopotami.
8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
Konsa, Ezaou vin wè Izarak papa l' pa t' renmen fi peyi Kanaran yo.
9 Then went Esau to Ishmael, and took to the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
Li leve, li ale lakay Izmayèl, lòt pitit gason Abraram lan, li pran yon lòt madanm mete sou sa li te genyen deja yo. Li marye ak Maalat, yonn nan pitit fi Izmayèl yo. Maalat sa a, se te sè Nebajòt.
10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Jakòb kite Bècheba, li pati pou Karan.
11 And he came to a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Li rive yon kote, li rete pase nwit la la, paske sòlèy te fin kouche. Li pran yon wòch sèvi l' zòrye, epi li kouche atè a konsa pou l' dòmi.
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set upon the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Li fè yon rèv. Li reve li wè yon nechèl ki te kanpe de pye l' atè ak tèt li pèdi nan syèl la. Zanj Bondye yo t'ap moute desann sou nechèl la.
13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
Epi li wè Seyè a kanpe anwo nechèl la. Seyè a t'ap di: -Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, zansèt ou, ak Bondye Izarak. Ou wè tè kote ou kouche a, m'ap ba ou l' pou ou menm ansanm ak tout pitit pitit ou yo.
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Pitit pitit ou yo pral menm kantite ak grenn pousyè ki sou latè. Yo pral gaye nan tout direksyon, lès, lwès, nò, sid. Ou menm ak tout pitit pitit ou yo, nou pral tounen yon benediksyon pou tout moun ki sou latè.
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places where thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have promised to thee.
Pa bliye, m'ap toujou la avèk ou, m'ap voye je sou ou kote ou pase. M'ap fè ou tounen nan peyi sa a, paske mwen p'ap lage ou san m' pa fè tout sa mwen sot di ou la a.
16 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
Jakòb leve nan dòmi an, li di: -Wè pa wè, Seyè a isit la, mwen pa t' konn sa.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Msye vin pè, li di: -Isit la se yon kote pou moun respekte! Se pa lòt bagay, isit la se kay Bondye ak pòt syèl la.
18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
Jakòb leve byen bònè, li pran wòch li te fè sèvi l' zòrye a, li plante l' tankou yon bòn tè, li vide lwil sou li pou mete l' apa pou Bondye.
19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
Li rele kote sa a Betèl. (Anvan sa, lavil la te rele Louz.)
20 And 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 raiment to put on,
Jakòb fè yon pwomès bay Seyè a, li di: -Si Bondye toujou kanpe avèk mwen, si li voye je sou mwen nan tout vwayaj sa m'ap fè a, si li ban m' manje pou m' manje ak rad pou m' met sou mwen,
21 So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
si l' fè m' tounen ak kè poze lakay papa m', Seyè a va Bondye m' vre.
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth to thee.
Wòch sa a mwen plante nan tè tankou bòn lan va sèvi kay pou Bondye. m'a ba ou yon dizyèm nan tout sa ou va ban mwen.
