Genesis 30
1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”
Alò, lè Rachel te wè ke li pa t fè pitit pou Jacob, li te vin jalou. Li te di a Jacob: “Ban mwen pitit, oswa, m ap mouri.”
2 Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
Epi chalè Jacob te brile kont Rachel. Li te di: “Èske mwen nan plas Bondye, ki te anpeche vant ou bay fwi a?”
3 She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”
Li te reponn: “Men sèvant mwen an, Bilha, antre an relasyon avèk li pou li kapab pouse fè sou jenou mwen yo. Konsa, pa li menm, mwen kapab fè timoun tou.”
4 She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Epi li te ba li sèvant li, Bilha kòm madanm, e li te antre nan relasyon avèk li.
5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Bilha te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis pou Jacob.
6 Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.
Alò, Rachel te di: “Bondye te ban mwen rezon. Li te vrèman tande vwa m, e Li te ban mwen yon fis.” Pou sa, li te nonmen li Dan.
7 Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Sèvant a Rachel la, Bilha te vin ansent ankò, e li te fè pou Jacob yon dezyèm fis.
8 Rachel said, “I have wrestled with my sister with mighty wrestlings, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.
Alò, Rachel te di: “Avèk gwo lit mwen te mennen avèk sè mwen an, mwen te vrèman vin genyen l.” Epi li te nonmen li Nephtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Lè Léa te wè ke li pa t fè pitit ankò, li te pran sèvant li a, Zilpa, e li te bay li a Jacob kòm madanm.
10 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son.
Sèvant a Léa a, Zilpa te fè yon fis pou Jacob.
11 Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.
Konsa, Léa te di: “A la chans!” Epi li te nonmen li Gad.
12 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.
Sèvant Léa a, Zilpa te fè pou Jacob yon dezyèm fis.
13 Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.
Epi Léa te di: “A la kontan mwen kontan! Pou sa, fanm yo va rele mwen kontan.” Epi li te nonmen li Aser.
14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
Alò, nan jou rekòlt ble yo, Reuben te sòti pou twouve mandragò nan chan an, e li te pote yo bay manman li, Léa. Alò, Rachel te di a Léa: “Souple, ban m kèk nan mandragò fis ou yo.”
15 Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?” Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
Men Léa te di l: “Èske se yon ti bagay sa ye pou ou pou pran mari mwen? Konsa, èske ou ta renmen pran mandragò a fis mwen yo tou?” Rachel te reponn: “Pou sa, li kapab kouche avè ou aswè a, kòm twòk pou mandragò a fis ou yo.”
16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.
Lè Jacob te sòti nan chan an nan aswè, alò, Léa te sòti pou rankontre li. Li te di l: “Ou oblije antre an relasyon ak mwen aswè a, paske vrèman mwen te achte ou avèk mandragò a fis mwen yo.” Epi li te kouche avèk li nan nwit lan.
17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Bondye te okipe Léa, e li te fè yon senkyèm fis pou Jacob.
18 Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.
Epi Léa te di: “Bondye te ban mwen salè mwen, akoz ke m te bay sèvant mwen an a mari mwen.”
19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Léa te vin ansent ankò, e li te fè yon sizyèm fis pou Jacob.
20 Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.
Alò Léa te di: “Bondye te ban mwen yon bon kado! Koulye a mari mwen va rete avè m akoz ke mwen fè sis fis pou li.” Alò li te nonmen li Zabulon.
21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Apre sa li te fè yon fi, e li te nonmen li Dina.
22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
Alò, Bondye te sonje Rachel. Li te okipe li, e Li te louvri vant li.
23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Konsa, li te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis. Konsa, li te di: “Bondye retire repwòch mwen.”
24 She named him Joseph, saying, “May Yahweh add another son to me.”
Li te rele li Joseph, e li te di: “Ke SENYÈ a ban m yon lòt fis.”
25 When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
Alò, li te rive ke lè Rachel te fè Joseph, Jacob te di a Laban: “Voye mwen ale, pou mwen kapab ale nan pwòp plas mwen e nan pwòp peyi mwen.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
Ban mwen madanm mwen yo, ak pitit mwen yo, pou sila mwen te sèvi ou yo. Kite mwen pati, paske ou menm ou konnen sèvis ke m te rann ou yo.”
27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
Men Laban te di li: “Si sa fè ou plezi, rete avè m; mwen devine ke Bondye te beni mwen akoz ou menm.”
28 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
Li te pale toujou: “Nonmen salè ou, e mwen va ba ou li”.
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
Men li te di li: “Ou menm ou konnen jan mwen te sèvi ou, ak jan bèt ou yo te byen okipe avè m.
30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
Paske ou pa t gen anpil lè m te vini an, yo vin miltipliye anpil, e SENYÈ a te beni ou tout kote ke m vire. Men koulye a, se lè pou mwen okipe pwòp lakay mwen tou?”
31 Laban said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
Epi Laban te di: “Kisa mwen kapab ba ou?” Epi Jacob te reponn: “Ou pa bezwen ban m anyen. Si w ap fè yon sèl bagay pou mwen, mwen va okipe bann ou yo ankò, epi kenbe yo.
32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.
Kite mwen pase nan tout bann mouton ou yo, pou retire chak mouton ki takte, oswa trase, avèk tout sa ki nwa pami ti mouton yo, chak sa ki takte oswa trase pami kabrit yo. Se sa yo ki va sèvi kòm salè mwen.
33 So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”
Konsa entegrite mwen va reponn pou mwen pita, lè ou vin parèt konsènan salè mwen. Chak sa ki pa takte, oswa trase pami kabrit yo, e ki nwa pami jenn mouton yo, si li twouve avè m, konsidere ke mwen te vòlè l.”
34 Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
Laban te di li: “Sa bon. Kite sa fèt selon pawòl ou.”
35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Alò, nan menm jou sa a, li te rete tout mal kabrit ki te trase, oswa takte, ak tout femèl kabrit ki te takte, chak ki te gen blan ladann, ak tout nwa pami mouton yo, e li te bay fis li yo okipe yo.
36 He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Epi li te mete yon distans twa jou antre li menm avèk Jacob, e Jacob te bay manje a tout rès bann mouton yo pou Laban.
37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, and plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Jacob te pran bwa vèt nan pye sikrèn, pye zanmann, ak pye bwadòm, e li te kale tras blan nan yo pou fè parèt blan ki te nan bwa yo.
38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
Li te plase bwa li te kale yo devan bann mouton yo, nan flèv dlo yo, e nan basen dlo kote bann mouton yo te vin bwè a. Se la yo te kwaze lè yo te vin pou bwè.
39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
Alò, bann mouton yo te kwaze kote bwa kale yo, e yo te fè pote sa ki te trase, takte e pentle yo.
40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in Laban’s flock. He put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban’s flock.
Jacob te separe ti mouton yo, e te fè bann mouton yo rete anfas, pou yo t ap gade tout sa ki te trase yo, ak tout nwa yo, ki te nan bann mouton Laban yo. Li te mete pwòp bann mouton li yo apa, pou yo pa t avèk bann mouton Laban yo.
41 Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock in the watering troughs, that they might conceive among the rods;
Anplis de sa, nenpòt kilè bèt ki pi fò nan bann mouton yo ta kwaze, Jacob ta mete bwa yo devan zye a bèt ki nan basen dlo yo, pou yo ta kwaze akote bwa yo;
42 but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
men lè bann mouton an te fèb, li pa t mete yo ladann. Konsa pi fèb yo te vin pou Laban, e pi fò yo pou Jacob.
43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
Konsa, nonm nan te vin pwospere anpil. Li te vin gen gwo bann mouton, sèvant ak sèvitè, chamo avèk bourik.
