Genesis 27

And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.

Izarak te fin vye granmoun, je l' pa t' bon, li pa t' kapab wè ladan yo ankò. Li rele premye pitit li a, Ezaou, li di l' konsa: -Pitit mwen, Ezaou reponn li: -Men mwen wi, papa.

And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:

Izarak di l': -Ou wè jan m' fin vye. Mwen pa konn ki jou m'ap mouri.

Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;

Tanpri, pran zam ou yo, flèch ou yo ak banza ou la. Ale nan bwa a, chase jibye pou mwen.

And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.

Lèfini, pare vyann lan jan ou konnen mwen renmen l' lan, pote l' ban mwen. m'a manje. Epi m'a ba ou benediksyon mwen anvan m' mouri.

And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.

Rebeka menm t'ap tande sa Izarak t'ap di Ezaou, gason l' lan. Ezaou soti, li pati li al lachas pou papa l'.

And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,

Lè sa a, Rebeka di Jakòb, pitit li a: -Men mwen fèk tande papa ou di Ezaou, frè ou la:

Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.

Al chase jibye pote pou mwen, kwit li, m'a manje. Apre sa, m'a beni ou devan Seyè a anvan m' mouri.

Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.

Koulye a, pitit mwen, koute sa m'ap di ou: Fè sa m'ap mande ou la.

Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:

Ale pran de jenn kabrit byen gra nan bann lan, pote yo ban mwen. m'a pare yo pou papa ou jan m' konnen li renmen l' lan.

And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.

W'a pote l' bay papa ou, la manje, la beni ou anvan l' mouri.

And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:

Jakòb reponn manman l': -Men manman, Ezaou, frè mwen an, gen pwal sou tout kò li. Mwen menm, po pa m' lis.

My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.

Si papa m' manyen m', la wè se twonpe m'ap twonpe l'. Lè sa a pase li ban mwen benediksyon, la ban m' madichon pito.

And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.

Men manman an reponn: -Madichon la ba ou a va tonbe sou mwen, pitit mwen. Ou menm, fè sa mwen di ou fè a, al chache kabrit yo mennen ban mwen.

And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.

Jakòb ale chache bèt yo, li mennen yo bay manman l'. Manman l' pare yon manje jan li konnen papa a te renmen l' lan.

And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:

Apre sa, Rebeka pran rad Ezaou, premye pitit li a, pi bèl rad Ezaou te gen lakay la, li mete yo anwo Jakòb, dezyèm pitit li a.

And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:

Avèk po ti kabrit yo, li kouvri bra ak kou Jakòb.

And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

Apre sa, li bay Jakòb manje a avèk pen li te fè.

And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?

Jakòb al jwenn papa l', li di: -Papa. Izarak reponn li: -Men mwen, pitit mwen. Kilès nan nou ki la a?

And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.

Jakòb reponn: -Se mwen menm Ezaou, premye gason ou lan. Mwen fè sa ou te di m' fè a. Leve non, chita. Manje vyann mwen pote pou ou a. Apre sa, wa ban mwen benediksyon.

And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.

Izarak di Jakòb: -Ki jan ou fè jwenn bèt la vit konsa, pitit mwen? Jakòb reponn li: -Seyè a, Bondye ou la, ede m'. Li fè jibye a vin devan mwen.

And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.

Izarak di: -Pwoche non. Vini mwen manyen ou, pitit mwen, pou m' wè si wi ou non ou se Ezaou, pitit mwen an.

And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

Jakòb pwoche bò kote Izarak, papa l', ki manyen l'. Epi Izarak di: -Vwa a se vwa Jakòb, men bra a se bra Ezaou.

And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.

Li pa t' rekonèt Jakòb, paske bra li te plen pwal tankou bra Ezaou, frè li a. Izarak beni l'.

And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.

Li di l': -Se vre, se Ezaou, pitit mwen, ou ye? Jakòb reponn li: -Se mwen wi.

And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.

Izarak di l': -Sèvi m' non. m'a manje vyann ou pote a. Apre sa, m'a beni ou. Jakòb sèvi l' manje a, li manje. Lèfini, Jakòb ba li diven, li bwè.

And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.

Izarak, papa l', di l': -Pwoche non, pitit mwen. vin bo m'.

And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:

Jakòb pwoche, li bo papa l'. Papa a pran sant rad ki te sou li a, epi li ba li benediksyon l'. Li di l': -Sant kò pitit mwen an tankou sant yon jaden Seyè a beni.

Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:

Se pou Bondye ba ou lawouze ki soti nan syèl la. Se pou l' fè jaden ou donnen anpil. Se pou l' ba ou bèl rekòt ble ak rezen.

Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.

Se pou kantite pèp soumèt devan ou. Se pou kantite nasyon bese tèt devan ou. Se ou menm ki pou mèt frè ou yo. Se pou pitit pitit manman ou yo bese tèt devan ou. Se pou tout moun ki ba ou madichon jwenn madichon. Se pou tout moun ki beni ou jwenn benediksyon.

And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

Izarak te fin beni Jakòb. Jakòb te fèk kite papa li, Izarak, lè Ezaou, frè li a, antre soti lachas.

And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.

Li te pare yon bon plat manje, li pote l' bay papa l'. Li di l': -Leve chita non, papa. Manje vyann pitit ou pote pou ou a, pou ou ka beni l'.

And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.

Izarak, papa l', mande: -Ki moun sa a? Li reponn: -Se mwen menm, Ezaou, premye pitit gason ou lan.

And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.

Tande Izarak tande sa, li sezi, li pran tranble kou fèy bwa. Li di: -Kilès sa ki te pote ban m' manje jibye li sot chase a? Mwen fèk fin manje anvan ou rive la a. Mwen ba li benediksyon m' lan ki pou li nèt.

And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.

Lè Ezaou tande sa, yon sèl kòlè moute l', li tonbe rele byen fò: -Beni m' tout non, papa!

And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.

Izarak reponn li: -Frè ou la vini, li twonpe m'. Li pran benediksyon ki te pou ou a.

And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?

Ezaou di: -Sa fè dezyèm fwa li pran sak pou mwen. Eske se paske li rele Jakòb la kifè l'ap pase devan m' konsa? Premye fwa a, li te pran dwa m' kòm premye pitit. Men koulye a, li pran benediksyon ki te pou mwen an! Apre sa, li di: -Men papa, èske ou pa gen yon lòt benediksyon pou mwen?

And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?

Izarak reponn Ezaou: -Mwen mete l' chèf sou ou. Mwen fè tout rès fanmi an tounen moun k'ap sèvi l'. Mwen ba li mezi pwovizyon l'. Kisa m' ka fè pou ou ankò, pitit mwen?

And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

Ezaou di papa a: -Se sèl benediksyon sa a ou te genyen, papa? Tanpri, beni m' tout non, papa! Lè sa a, Ezaou pete yon sèl rèl, li kriye byen fò.

And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;

Se konsa Izarak di l': -Latè p'ap ba ou sa l' te dwe ba ou. p'ap gen lawouze ki soti nan syèl la pou wouze jaden ou.

And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

Se zam ou k'ap fè ou viv. W'ap sèvi frè ou la, se vre. Men, se pye poudre ou ye, w'a soti anba men l'.

And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.

Ezaou te rayi Jakòb poutèt papa a te ba li benediksyon ki te pou li a. Li di nan kè l': Papa m' pa lwen mouri. Fini yo fini antere l', m'ap touye Jakòb, frè mwen an.

And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.

Yo vin rapòte bay Rebeka sa ki te soti nan bouch Ezaou, premye pitit gason l' lan. Li fè rele Jakòb, dezyèm pitit li a, li di l': -Koute! Ezaou, frè ou la, vle tire revanj sou ou. Li vle touye ou.

Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;

Koulye a, pitit mwen, koute sa m'ap di ou la. Leve, pati ale kay Laban, frè mwen an ki rete nan peyi Karan.

And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;

W'a rete kèk tan la avèk li, jouk tan kòlè frè ou la va bese,

Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?

jouk tan la sispann move sou ou, jouk li va bliye sa ou te fè l' la. Lè sa a, atò, m'a voye chache ou, m'a fè ou tounen. Poukisa pou m' ta pèdi tou de pitit gason m' yo yon sèl jou a?

And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?

Rebeka di Izarak konsa: -Mwen degoute, mwen bouke ak bann fi Et sa yo. Pase pou m' ta wè Jakòb pran yonn nan moun sa yo, yonn nan bann fi Et sa yo k'ap viv nan peyi a pou madanm, pito m' mouri!
