Jenèz 29
1 Alò, Jacob te ale nan vwayaj li a, e li te vini nan peyi ki te pou fis a lès yo.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the sons of the east.
2 Lè li te gade, li te wè yon pwi nan chan an, e gade byen, te gen twa bann mouton ki te kouche la akote li, paske se te avèk pwi sa a ke yo te bay tout bèt yo dlo. Alò, wòch la sou bouch pwi a te byen laj.
And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field. And, lo, three flocks of sheep were lying there by it, for they watered the flocks out of that well. And the stone upon the well's mouth was great.
3 Lè tout bèje mouton yo te rasanble la, yo te konn woule wòch la sòti nan bouch pwi a, pou te bay mouton yo dlo, e te remete wòch la nan plas li sou bouch pwi a.
And all the flocks were gathered there. And they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in its place.
4 Jacob te di yo: “Frè m yo, kibò nou sòti?”: Yo te reponn: “Nou sòti nan Charan.”
And Jacob said to them, My brothers, where are ye from? And they said, We are of Haran.
5 Li te di yo: “Èske nou konnen Laban, fis Nachor a?” Epi yo te di: “Nou konnen li.”
And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 Li te mande yo: “Èske tout bagay ale byen pou li?” Epi yo te reponn: “Wi, tout bagay ale byen pou li. Men fi li a, Rachel k ap vini avèk mouton yo.”
And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well. And, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
7 Li te di: “Gade byen, li toujou gwo lajounen; li poko lè pou rasanble bèt. Bay bèt yo dlo, e mete yo nan patiraj toujou.”
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together. Water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8 Men yo te di: “Nou pa kapab jiskaske tout bèje mouton yo fin rasanble, e yo woule wòch la sòti nan bouch pwi a. Se nan lè sa a nou va bay mouton yo dlo.”
And they said, We cannot until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep.
9 Pandan li t ap pale avèk yo, Rachel te parèt avèk mouton papa l yo, paske li te yon bèje.
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.
10 Lè Jacob te wè Rachel, fi Laban an, frè manman li, ak mouton Laban yo, frè manman l, Jacob te pwoche. Li te woule wòch la sòti nan pwi a, e li te bay dlo a bann mouton Laban an, frè manman l lan.
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11 Epi Jacob te bo Rachel. Li te leve vwa li, e li te kriye.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 Jacob te di Rachel ke li te yon moun fanmi papa l, e ke li te fis a Rebecca. Li te kouri di papa l sa.
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father.
13 Alò, lè Laban te tande nouvèl Jacob la, fis a sè li, li te kouri pou ale rankontre avè l e te anbrase li. Li te bo li, e te mennen li lakay li. Konsa, Jacob te eksplike Laban tout bagay sa yo.
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
14 Laban te di li: “Anverite, ou se zo mwen avèk chè mwen.” Konsa, li te rete avèk li pandan yon mwa.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou are my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 Alò Laban te di a Jacob: “Akoz ke ou se moun fanmi mwen, èske sa vle di ke ou ta dwe sèvi mwen gratis? Di m, kisa pou m bay ou kòm salè?”
And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou are my brother, should thou therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 Alò, Laban te gen de fi. Non pi gran an se te Léa, e lòt la se te Rachel.
And Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Epi zye a Léa yo te fèb, men Rachel te byen bèl nan figi l, ni nan fòm li.
And Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
18 Alò Jacob te renmen Rachel, e konsa li te di: “Mwen va sèvi ou pandan sèt ane pou fi ou ki pi jèn nan, Rachel.”
And Jacob loved Rachel, and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Laban te di: “Li pi bon pou m bay ou li pase pou m ta bay li a yon lòt gason. Rete avè m.”
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man. Abide with me.
20 Jacob te sèvi sèt ane pou Rachel, men yo te parèt a li menm kòmsi se te kèk jou akoz lamou li te gen pou li.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel. And they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 Konsa, Jacob te di a Laban: “Ban mwen madanm mwen, paske tan mwen an gen tan fin konplete, pou m kapab antre nan relasyon avè l.”
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Laban te rasanble tout mesye yo nan plas la, e li te fè yon gwo fèt.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 Men nan aswè, li te pran fi li, Léa, e li te mennen li kote Jacob. Li te antre an relasyon avèk li.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. And he went in to her.
24 Laban osi te bay sèvant li, Zilpa, pou Léa kòm sèvant.
And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
25 Nan maten, gade byen, li vin parèt ke se te Léa! Konsa, li te di a Laban: “Kisa sa ou te fè m la a? “Èske se pa pou Rachel ke m te sèvi ou a? Poukisa ou fè m desepsyon sila a?”
And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou have done to me? Did I not serve with thee for Rachel? Why then have thou beguiled me?
26 Men Laban te di: “Se pa koutim peyi nou pou fè maryaj a pi jèn nan avan premye ne a.
And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Konplete semèn nan avèk sila a, e nou va bay ou lòt la tou; pou sèvis sa a, ou va sèvi m yon lòt sèt ane.”
Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shall serve with me yet seven other years.
28 Jacob te fè sa, li te konplete semèn nan avèk fi a, e li te ba li fi li, Rachel, kòm madanm li.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. And he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
29 Laban osi te bay sèvant li, Bilha a fi li, Rachel kòm sèvant li.
And Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
30 Alò, Jacob te antre an relasyon ak Rachel osi, e vrèman, li te renmen Rachel plis ke Léa, e li te sèvi avèk Laban pandan yon lòt sèt ane.
And he also went in to Rachel, and also he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 Alò, SENYÈ a te wè ke Léa te manke renmen, e Li te ouvri vant li, men Rachel te rete san pitit.
And Jehovah saw that Leah was regarded inferior, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32 Léa te vin ansent. Li te fè yon fis, e li te nonmen li Reuben, paske li te di: “Akoz ke SENYÈ a te wè doulè mwen, asireman koulye a mari mwen va renmen m.”
And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction, for now my husband will love me.
33 Li te vin ansent ankò, li te fè yon fis, e li te di: “Akoz ke SENYÈ a te tande ke mwen te rayi, pou sa Li te ban mwen fis sila a osi.” Alò, li te bay li non Siméon.
And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am regarded inferior, he has therefore given me this son also. And she called his name Simeon.
34 Li te vin ansent ankò, li te fè yon fis. Konsa, li te di: “Alò fwa sa a mari mwen va vin atache a mwen, paske mwen te fè twa fis pou li.” Pou sa, li te nonmen li Lévi.
And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore his name was called Levi.
35 Epi li te vin ansent ankò. Li te fè yon fis, e li te di: “Fwa sa, mwen va louwe SENYÈ a.” Pou sa li te nonmen li Juda. Epi konsa, li te vin sispann fè pitit.
And she conceived again, and bore a son. And she said, This time I will praise Jehovah. Therefore she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.
