Genesis 33

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.

And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.

Li mete de sèvant yo devan nèt ak pitit yo, Leya ak pitit li yo nan mitan, Rachèl ak Jozèf dèyè nèt.

And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

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.

And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

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.

And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.

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.

And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.

Lè sa a, sèvant yo pwoche ak timoun yo, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan Ezaou.

Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.

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.

And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

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.

And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.

Ezaou di l': -Frè mwen, mwen gen tout sa m' bezwen. Ou mèt kenbe tou sa ou genyen pou ou.

And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.

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.

And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.

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.

Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.

Li di: -Bon. Ann pati. Ann ale. M'ap pran devan ou.

And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.

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.

And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.

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.

Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.

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.

And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.

Menm jou a, Ezaou pati tounen nan peyi Seyi.

So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.

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.

And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

Lè Jakòb tounen soti Mezopotami, li rive anbyen lavil Sichèm, nan peyi Kanaran. Li moute tant li sou moso tè ki anfas lavil la.

And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan–aram; and pitched his tent before the city.

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.

And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.

Jakòb bati yon lotèl la tou. Li rele l': Bondye se Bondye Izrayèl la.

And he erected there an altar, and called it El–elohe–Israel.
