Jenèz 36-38
Haitian Creole Version
36 ¶ Men pitit pitit Ezaou yo. Se Ezaou sa a yo te rele Edon.
2 Ezaou te chwazi fi nan moun peyi Kanaran yo pou madanm. Yonn te rele Ada. Se te pitit fi Elon, yon moun Et. Yon lòt te rele Olibama, pitit fi Ana, ki li menm te pitit fi Zibeyon, yon moun Evi.
3 Li te marye tout ak Basmat, pitit fi Izmayèl la, sè Nebajòt.
4 Se Ada ki te fè Elifaz pou Ezaou. Basmat te fè Reouyèl,
5 Olibama menm te fè Jeouch, Jalam epi Kore. Se tout pitit sa yo Ezaou te fè antan li te nan peyi Kanaran.
6 Yon jou, Ezaou pran madanm li yo, pitit gason l' yo, pitit fi li yo, tout moun ki te lakay li, tout mouton l' yo, tout kabrit li yo ansanm ak tou sa li te genyen nan peyi Kanaran, li pati pou yon lòt peyi byen lwen Jakòb, frè li.
7 Li te fè sa paske tè kote li t'ap viv ansanm ak Jakòb, frè l' la, te vin twò piti pou yo. Yo te vin gen twòp bèt, yo pa t' kapab rete ansanm ankò menm kote a.
8 Se konsa Ezaou, yo rele Edon tou, al rete nan mòn Seyi.
9 ¶ Men pitit pitit Ezaou, papa moun Edon yo ki rete nan mòn Seyi a.
10 Men non pitit gason Ezaou yo: Se te Elifaz, pitit Ada, madanm Ezaou, ak Reouyèl, pitit Basmat, madanm Ezaou tou.
11 Men non pitit gason Elifaz yo: Se te Teman, Oma, Zefo, Gayetan ak Kenaz.
12 Elifaz, pitit Ezaou a, te gen yon fanm kay yo te rele Timna. Se li ki manman Amalèk. Sa yo se tout pitit pitit gason Ada, madanm Ezaou.
13 Men non pitit gason Reouyèl yo: Se te Naat, Zerak, Chanma ak Miza. Sa yo se pitit pitit gason Basmat, madanm Ezaou.
14 Men non pitit gason Olibama, madanm Ezaou, te fè pou li: Jeouch, Jalam ak Kore. Olibama te pitit fi Ana, pitit fi Zibeyon.
15 Men chèf branch fanmi pitit pitit Ezaou yo. Men non tout pitit gason Elifaz, premye pitit gason Ezaou a: Se te Teman, Oma, Zefo, Kenaz,
16 Kore, Gayetan ak Amalèk. Yo tout te chèf. Se pitit Elifaz sa yo ki te chèf nan peyi Edon an: Yo tout se pitit pitit Ada yo ye.
17 Men non pitit gason Reouyèl, pitit gason Ezaou a: Se te Naat, Zerak, Chanma ak Miza. Yo tout te chèf tou. Se pitit Reouyèl sa yo ki te chèf nan peyi Edon an. Yo tout se pitit pitit Basmat, madanm Ezaou, yo ye.
18 Men non tout pitit gason Olibama, madan Ezaou: Se te Jeouch, Jalam ak Kore. Yo tout te chèf. Se chèf sa yo ki te pitit Olibama, madan Ezaou. Olibama te pitit fi Ana.
19 Se te non tout pitit pitit Ezaou yo sa. Yo te rele Ezaou Edon tou. Se yo ki te chèf branch fanmi yo.
20 ¶ Men non tout pitit gason Seyi, moun peyi Ori. Se yo menm ki rete nan peyi a depi lontan. Se Lotan, Chobal, Zibeyon, Ana,
21 Dichon, Ezè ak Dichan. Se chèf moun peyi Ori yo sa. Yo se pitit gason Seyi nan peyi Edon.
22 Men non pitit Lotan yo: Se te Ori ak Eman. Timna te sè Lotan.
23 Men non pitit Chobal yo: Se te Alvan, Manaat, Ebal, Chefo ak Anam.
24 Men non pitit Zibeyon yo: Se te Aja ak Ana. Se Ana sa a ki te jwenn sous dlo cho yo nan dezè a, lè l' t'ap gade bourik Zibeyon, papa l' yo.
25 Men non pitit Ana yo: Se te Dichon, yon gason ak Olibama, yon fi.
26 Men non pitit gason Dichon yo: Se te Emdan, Echban, Jitran ak Keran.
27 Men non pitit gason Ezè yo: Se te Bilan, Zavan ak Akan.
28 Men non pitit gason Dichan yo: Ouz ak Aran.
29 Men non chèf moun peyi Ori yo: Se te Lotan, Chobal, Zibeyon, Ana,
30 Dichon, Ezè, Dichan. Se te tout chèf moun Ori yo sa. Se yo ki te chèf branch fanmi moun Ori yo nan peyi Seyi.
31 ¶ Men wa ki te gouvènen peyi Edon an, anvan te gen ankenn wa pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
32 Bela, gason Beyò a, t'ap gouvènen peyi Edon. Yo te rele lavil kote li te rete a Denaba.
33 Lè Bela mouri, se Jobab, gason Zerak la, moun lavil Bozra, ki te gouvènen nan plas li.
34 Lè Jobab mouri, se Oucham, moun peyi Teman, ki te gouvènen nan plas li.
35 Lè Oucham mouri, se Adad, pitit gason Bedad la, ki te gouvènen nan plas li. Se Adad sa a ki te bat moun peyi Madyan yo nan plenn Moab la. Yo te rele lavil kote li te rete a Avit.
36 Lè Adad mouri, se Samla, moun Masreka, ki te gouvènen nan plas li.
37 Lè Samla mouri, se Sayil, moun lavil Reyobòt bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la, ki te gouvènen nan plas li.
38 Lè Sayil mouri, se Baalanan, pitit gason Akbò a, ki te gouvènen nan plas li.
39 Lè Baalanan, pitit gason Akbò a, mouri, se Ada ki te gouvènen nan plas li. Yo te rele lavil kote li te rete a Paou. Madanm li te rele Metabèl. Se te pitit fi Matrèd ki poutèt pa l' tè pitit fi Mezarab.
40 Men lis non tout pitit Ezaou yo ki te chèf ansanm ak non branch fanmi yo ak non kote yo te rete: Timna, Alva, Jetèt,
41 Olibama, Ela, Penon,
42 Kenaz, Teman, Mibza,
43 Magdiyèl, Iram. Se non chèf Edon yo sa ansanm ak non kote yo te rete nan peyi a. Se Ezaou ki papa yo tout nan peyi Edon.
37 ¶ Men Jakòb rete rete l' nan peyi Kanaran kote papa l' te pase tout lavi l'.
2 Men istwa fanmi Jakòb la. Jozèf te yon jenn gason disètan. Li t'ap gade mouton ak kabrit ansanm ak frè l' yo, pitit gason Bila ak Zilpa, fanm kay papa l' yo. Li te konn rapòte bay papa l' tout vye bagay yo t'ap fè.
3 Izrayèl menm te renmen Jozèf plis pase tout lòt pitit li yo, paske li te fin granmoun lè Jozèf te fèt. Li fè yon bèl varèz long ak manch pou li.
4 Lè frè l' yo wè jan papa yo te renmen Jozèf plis pase yo, yo pran rayi l'. Yo pa t' louvri bouch avè l' san yo pa joure l'.
5 ¶ Yon jou, Jozèf fè yon rèv. Li rakonte l' bay frè li yo. Sa te fè yo rayi l' pi plis toujou.
6 Li di yo: -Mesye, tande yon rèv mwen fè.
7 Mwen wè nou tout nou te nan jaden, chak moun t'ap mare yon pakèt zèb. Pakèt mwen an rete konsa li kanpe tout dwat pou kont li, epi tout pakèt pa nou yo fè wonn li, yo vin bese tèt devan pa m' lan tankou moun y'ap salwe.
8 Frè l' yo di l': -Anhan! Ou vle di ou pral chèf nou, ou pral kòmande nou! Yo te vin rayi l' pi plis toujou poutèt rèv li te di yo li fè a.
9 Apre sa, Jozèf fè yon lòt rèv ankò. Li rakonte l' bay frè li yo. Li di yo: -Mwen fè yon lòt rèv. Mwen wè solèy la, lalen lan ansanm ak onz zetwal ki t'ap bese tèt devan mwen.
10 Li rakonte rèv la bay papa l' ansanm ak frè l' yo. Men papa a t'ap rale zòrèy li, li t'ap di l': -Ki kalite rèv w'ap fè konsa a? Koulye a, se pou mwen menm, manman ou ansanm ak onz frè ou yo, pou nou vin bese tèt devan ou?
11 Frè Jozèf yo t'ap fè jalouzi, men papa l' t'ap kalkile tout bagay sa yo nan tèt li.
12 ¶ Frè Jozèf yo leve, y ale jouk Sichèm ak bann bèt papa yo pou fè yo manje.
13 Izrayèl rele Jozèf, li di l' konsa: -Frè ou yo mennen bèt yo jouk Sichèm al manje. Vini non, m'ap voye ou bò kote yo pou mwen. Jozèf reponn: -Men mwen wi, papa.
14 Izrayèl di l' konsa: -Tanpri, ale we kouman frè ou yo ak bèt yo ye laba a. Apre sa, tounen vin pote nouvèl yo ban mwen. Konsa, se papa l' menm ki te fè l' pati kite Fon Ebwon an. Lè Jozèf rive Sichèm,
15 li pèdi wout li nan savann lan, li kontre ak yon nonm ki mande l': -Kisa w'ap chache konsa?
16 Jozèf reponn li: -M'ap chache frè m' yo. Tanpri, di m' ki kote yo mennen bèt yo al manje.
17 Nonm lan di l': -Yo te isit la wi, men yo pati deja. Mwen tande yo t'ap di yo pral Dotan. Jozèf pati dèyè frè l' yo, li jwenn yo Dotan.
18 Men, anvan Jozèf te rive, yo te gen tan wè l' byen lwen ap vini. Yo fè konplo pou yo touye l'.
19 Yonn di lòt: -Men nonm ki renmen fè rèv la ap vini.
20 Annou wè. N'ap touye l', n'ap jete kadav la nan yonn nan pi yo. Epi n'a di se bèt nan bwa ki touye l'. Konsa n'a wè si sa l' te wè nan rèv li yo va rive vre.
21 Woubenn t'ap koute yo, li t'ap chache yon jan pou sove Jozèf anba men yo. Li di yo: -Piga nou touye l'.
22 Pa fè san koule. Ann voye l' jete nan pi sa a ki nan dezè a. Men, pa leve men sou li. Li t'ap di yo sa paske li te fè lide sove l' anba men yo pou l' te voye l' tounen bay papa l'.
23 ¶ Lè Jozèf rive bò kote frè l' yo, yo wete bèl varèz long ak manch ki te sou li a.
24 Yo pran l', yo jete l' nan pi a. Pi a te vid, li pa t' gen dlo.
25 Apre sa, yo chita pou yo manje. Pandan yo leve je yo, konsa yo wè yon kolonn moun Izmayèl ki t'ap vwayaje. Yo te soti Galarad. Chamo yo te chaje ak gonm bwa, lansan ak lami yo t'ap pote al vann nan peyi Lejip.
26 Jida di frè l' yo konsa: -Sa sa ap rapòte nou pou nou touye frè nou an epi apre sa pou nou kache sa?
27 Annou vann li ak moun Izmayèl yo. Konsa nou p'ap bezwen leve men nou sou li. Apre tou, se frè nou li ye, se menm san ak nou. Frè l' yo tonbe dakò.
28 Lè machann Madyan yo vin ap pase, yo rale Jozèf moute sot nan pi a. Yo vann li ak moun Izmayèl yo pou vin pyès lajan. Moun Izmayèl yo menm mennen l' nan peyi Lejip.
29 Lè Woubenn tounen nan pi a, li pa jwenn Jozèf ladan l'. Sa te fè l' lapenn anpil. Li chire rad ki te sou li a.
30 Li tounen al jwenn frè li yo, li di yo: -Ti gason an pa nan pi a non! Kisa m' pral fè koulye a?
31 ¶ Yo touye yon bouk kabrit, yo pran bèl varèz Jozèf la, yo tranpe l' nan san an.
32 Yo voye varèz la bay papa yo ak komisyon sa a: -Men sa nou jwenn. Gade wè si se pa varèz pitit gason ou lan.
33 Jakòb rekonèt rad la, li di: -Men wi, se varèz pitit gason m' lan. Se yon bèt nan bwa ki devore l'. Bèt la dechèpiye l' nèt.
34 Sa ou tande a, yon sèl lapenn pran Jakòb, li chire rad ki te sou li, li mare yon tanga sak nan ren li. Li pase kèk tan ap kriye pou pitit gason l' lan.
35 tout lòt gason l' yo ansanm ak pitit fi l' yo te vin ba l' kouraj, men li te refize tande sa yo t'ap di l'. Li t'ap plede repete: -M'ap kriye pou pitit gason m' lan jouk m al jwenn li lè m'a mouri. Se konsa li t'ap kriye pou pitit gason l' lan.
36 Pandan tout tan sa a, moun Madyan yo te gen tan vann Jozèf nan peyi Lejip ak Potifa, yonn nan chèf lame farawon an. Se li menm ki te kòmandan gad palè yo.
38 ¶ Lè sa a, Jida kite frè l' yo, li al jwenn Ira, yon nonm lavil Adoulam.
2 Antan li la, li wè yon fi. Papa fi a te yon moun peyi Kanaran yo te rele Chwa. Jida marye ak fi a, li kouche avè l'.
3 Madanm lan vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. Jida rele pitit la Er.
4 Madanm lan vin ansent ankò, li fè yon lòt pitit gason, yo rele l' Onan.
5 Li fè yon lòt pitit gason ankò, yo rele l' Chela. Jida te lavil Kezib lè madanm li fè Chela.
6 Jida chwazi yon fi yo rele Tama pou Er, premye pitit gason l' lan.
7 Men Er, premye pitit Jida a, pa t' fè Seyè a plezi paske li te twò mechan. Se konsa Seyè a te fè l' mouri.
8 Lè sa a, Jida di Onan: -Ale jwenn madanm frè ou la, kouche avè l'. Se devwa ou, paske ou se frè mari l' ki mouri. Konsa, w'a fè yon pitit pou frè ou pou non li pa pèdi.
9 Men Onan te konnen pitit la pa t'ap pou li. Se konsa, chak fwa li kouche ak madanm frè li a, li voye atè pou li pa t' fè pitit pou frè li a.
10 Sa l' t'ap fè a pa t' fè Seyè a plezi. Se konsa Seyè a fè l' mouri tou.
11 Lè sa a, Jida di Tama, bèlfi li a: -Ou mèt tounen kay papa ou, rete vèv san marye jouk tan Chela, lòt gason m' lan, vin gran. Li te di l' sa paske li te pè pou Chela pa t' mouri tankou frè l' yo. Tama menm tounen rete kay papa l'.
12 ¶ Kèk tan apre sa, madanm Jida, pitit fi Chwa a, mouri. Apre Jida te fin fè sa pou l' te fè pou lanmò a, li moute al Timna ansanm ak zanmi l' lan, Ira, moun Adoulam lan. Li tapral wè moun ki t'ap taye lenn mouton l' yo pou li.
13 Yo fè Tama konn sa, yo di l': -Gade. Men bòpè ou ap moute al Timna, pou l' fè taye lenn mouton li yo.
14 Se konsa, Tama wete rad vèv ki te sou li a, li kouvri tèt li ak yon vwal, li al chita bò pòtay lavil Enayim, sou chemen ki mennen Timna a. Li te wè Chela te fin gran, men Jida pa t' pran l' bay Chela pou madanm.
15 Lè Jida wè l', li konprann se te yon jennès, paske figi l' te kouvri.
16 li al jwenn li bò chemen an, li di l': -vin non. Kite m' kouche avè ou. Li pa t' konnen se bèlfi li li te ye. Tama di li: -Kisa w'ap ban mwen pou m' kite ou kouche avè m'.
17 Jida reponn li: -m'a voye yon jenn kabrit ba ou nan bèt mwen yo. Tama di li: -Kisa w'a ban m' kenbe jouk ou voye l' ban mwen.
18 Jida reponn li: -Kisa ou vle m' ba ou kenbe? Tama di li: -Letanp ou a ak tout kòd li, ansanm ak baton ki nan men ou lan. Jida ba li yo. Li kouche ak li. Tama vin ansent pou li.
19 Apre sa Tama leve, li al fè wout li. Li wete vwal la, epi li mete rad vèv li sou li ankò.
20 Jida voye zanmi l', moun lavil Adoulam lan, ak jenn kabrit la pou l' te ka reprann sa l' te bay fanm lan kenbe a. Men zanmi l' lan pa t' kapab jwenn fanm lan.
21 Li mande mesye ki te la yo. Kote jennès ki te chita bò chemen an, sou pòtay lavil Enayim lan? Yo reponn li: -Pa janm gen ankenn jennès bò isit la.
22 Li tounen al jwenn Jida, li di l': -Mwen pa jwenn li non. Mesye nan zòn lan di m' pa janm gen ankenn jennès bò la.
23 Jida di l': -Pa fatige kò ou chache reprann sak nan men l' lan. Moun va pase m' nan betiz twòp. Mwen voye kabrit la ba li, ou pa jwenn li. Kite sa!
24 ¶ Sou twa mwa konsa, yo vin di Jida: -Tama, bèlfi ou la, lage kò l' nan jennès. Li gen tan ansent. Jida di yo: -Pran l', mennen l' deyò lavil la. Mete dife anwo l' jouk li mouri.
25 Yo t'ap mennen Tama deyò lavil la lè li voye komisyon sa a bay bòpè li: -Se pou mèt bagay sa yo mwen ansent. Gade wè si ou rekonèt ki moun ki mèt letanp sa a ak tout kòd li ansanm ak baton sa a?
26 Jida rekonèt yo, li di: -Li gen rezon. Se mwen menm ki antò. Mwen te dwe fè l' marye ak Chela, pitit gason m' lan. Jida pa t' kouche avè l' ankò.
27 Lè lè a rive pou Tama akouche, yo wè li te gen marasa nan vant li.
28 Pandan li te gen tranche, yonn nan timoun yo lonje men l' deyò. Fanmchay la kenbe men an, li mare yon moso fil wouj ladan l'. Li di: -Sa a fèt anvan.
29 Men pitit la rale men an antre, epi se lòt frè a ki soti anvan. Fanmchay la di: -Se konsa ou fè chemen pou ou pase! Se poutèt sa yo rele l' Perèz.
30 Apre sa, frè li a soti ak fil wouj la mare nan men l'. Yo rele l' Zerak.

Esau’s Descendants(A)(B)
36 This is the account(C) of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom).(D)
2 Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan:(E) Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite,(F) and Oholibamah(G) daughter of Anah(H) and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite(I)— 3 also Basemath(J) daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.(K)
4 Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,(L) 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah.(M) These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.
6 Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan,(N) and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.(O) 7 Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock.(P) 8 So Esau(Q) (that is, Edom)(R) settled in the hill country of Seir.(S)
9 This is the account(T) of the family line of Esau the father of the Edomites(U) in the hill country of Seir.
10 These are the names of Esau’s sons:

20 These were the sons of Seir the Horite,(AS) who were living in the region:

The Rulers of Edom(BC)
31 These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king(BD) reigned:
32 Bela son of Beor became king of Edom. His city was named Dinhabah.
33 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah(BE) succeeded him as king.
34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites(BF) succeeded him as king.

Joseph’s Dreams
37 Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed,(BL) the land of Canaan.(BM)
2 This is the account(BN) of Jacob’s family line.
Joseph,(BO) a young man of seventeen,(BP) was tending the flocks(BQ) with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah(BR) and the sons of Zilpah,(BS) his father’s wives, and he brought their father a bad report(BT) about them.
3 Now Israel(BU) loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,(BV) because he had been born to him in his old age;(BW) and he made an ornate[f] robe(BX) for him.(BY) 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him(BZ) and could not speak a kind word to him.
5 Joseph had a dream,(CA) and when he told it to his brothers,(CB) they hated him all the more.(CC) 6 He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: 7 We were binding sheaves(CD) of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.”(CE)
8 His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?”(CF) And they hated him all the more(CG) because of his dream and what he had said.
9 Then he had another dream,(CH) and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars(CI) were bowing down to me.”(CJ)
10 When he told his father as well as his brothers,(CK) his father rebuked(CL) him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”(CM) 11 His brothers were jealous of him,(CN) but his father kept the matter in mind.(CO)
Joseph Sold by His Brothers
12 Now his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem,(CP) 13 and Israel(CQ) said to Joseph, “As you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem.(CR) Come, I am going to send you to them.”
“Very well,” he replied.
14 So he said to him, “Go and see if all is well with your brothers(CS) and with the flocks, and bring word back to me.” Then he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron.(CT)
When Joseph arrived at Shechem, 15 a man found him wandering around in the fields and asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 He replied, “I’m looking for my brothers. Can you tell me where they are grazing their flocks?”
17 “They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.(CU)’”
So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan. 18 But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.(CV)
19 “Here comes that dreamer!(CW)” they said to each other. 20 “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns(CX) and say that a ferocious animal(CY) devoured him.(CZ) Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”(DA)
21 When Reuben(DB) heard this, he tried to rescue him from their hands. “Let’s not take his life,” he said.(DC) 22 “Don’t shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern(DD) here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.(DE)
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe(DF) he was wearing— 24 and they took him and threw him into the cistern.(DG) The cistern was empty; there was no water in it.
25 As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites(DH) coming from Gilead.(DI) Their camels were loaded with spices, balm(DJ) and myrrh,(DK) and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.(DL)
26 Judah(DM) said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?(DN) 27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother,(DO) our own flesh and blood.(DP)” His brothers agreed.
28 So when the Midianite(DQ) merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern(DR) and sold(DS) him for twenty shekels[g] of silver(DT) to the Ishmaelites,(DU) who took him to Egypt.(DV)
29 When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.(DW) 30 He went back to his brothers and said, “The boy isn’t there! Where can I turn now?”(DX)
31 Then they got Joseph’s robe,(DY) slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.(DZ) 32 They took the ornate robe(EA) back to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe.”
33 He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! Some ferocious animal(EB) has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces.”(EC)
34 Then Jacob tore his clothes,(ED) put on sackcloth(EE) and mourned for his son many days.(EF) 35 All his sons and daughters came to comfort him,(EG) but he refused to be comforted.(EH) “No,” he said, “I will continue to mourn until I join my son(EI) in the grave.(EJ)” So his father wept for him.
36 Meanwhile, the Midianites[h](EK) sold Joseph(EL) in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard.(EM)
Judah and Tamar
38 At that time, Judah(EN) left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam(EO) named Hirah.(EP) 2 There Judah met the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua.(EQ) He married her and made love to her; 3 she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er.(ER) 4 She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan.(ES) 5 She gave birth to still another son and named him Shelah.(ET) It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him.
6 Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.(EU) 7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the Lord’s sight;(EV) so the Lord put him to death.(EW)
8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.”(EX) 9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also.(EY)
11 Judah then said to his daughter-in-law(EZ) Tamar,(FA) “Live as a widow in your father’s household(FB) until my son Shelah(FC) grows up.”(FD) For he thought, “He may die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s household.
12 After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua,(FE) died. When Judah had recovered from his grief, he went up to Timnah,(FF) to the men who were shearing his sheep,(FG) and his friend Hirah the Adullamite(FH) went with him.
13 When Tamar(FI) was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,”(FJ) 14 she took off her widow’s clothes,(FK) covered herself with a veil(FL) to disguise herself, and then sat down(FM) at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah.(FN) For she saw that, though Shelah(FO) had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute,(FP) for she had covered her face. 16 Not realizing(FQ) that she was his daughter-in-law,(FR) he went over to her by the roadside and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.”(FS)
“And what will you give me to sleep with you?”(FT) she asked.
17 “I’ll send you a young goat(FU) from my flock,” he said.
“Will you give me something as a pledge(FV) until you send it?” she asked.
18 He said, “What pledge should I give you?”
“Your seal(FW) and its cord, and the staff(FX) in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.(FY) 19 After she left, she took off her veil and put on her widow’s clothes(FZ) again.
20 Meanwhile Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite(GA) in order to get his pledge(GB) back from the woman, but he did not find her. 21 He asked the men who lived there, “Where is the shrine prostitute(GC) who was beside the road at Enaim?”
“There hasn’t been any shrine prostitute here,” they said.
22 So he went back to Judah and said, “I didn’t find her. Besides, the men who lived there said, ‘There hasn’t been any shrine prostitute here.’”
23 Then Judah said, “Let her keep what she has,(GD) or we will become a laughingstock.(GE) After all, I did send her this young goat, but you didn’t find her.”
24 About three months later Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar is guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant.”
Judah said, “Bring her out and have her burned to death!”(GF)
25 As she was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law. “I am pregnant by the man who owns these,” she said. And she added, “See if you recognize whose seal and cord and staff these are.”(GG)
26 Judah recognized them and said, “She is more righteous than I,(GH) since I wouldn’t give her to my son Shelah.(GI)” And he did not sleep with her again.
27 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb.(GJ) 28 As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife(GK) took a scarlet thread and tied it on his wrist(GL) and said, “This one came out first.” 29 But when he drew back his hand, his brother came out,(GM) and she said, “So this is how you have broken out!” And he was named Perez.[i](GN) 30 Then his brother, who had the scarlet thread on his wrist,(GO) came out. And he was named Zerah.[j](GP)

Matye 10:21-42
Haitian Creole Version
Matye 10:21-42
Haitian Creole Version
21 Frè va denonse frè pou fè touye li. Papa va denonse pitit. Pitit va leve kont papa ak manman pou fè touye yo.
22 Tout moun pral rayi nou poutèt mwen. Men, moun ki va kenbe fèm jouk sa kaba, se yo ki va sove.
23 Lè y'a pèsekite nou nan yon lavil, sove ale nan yon lòt. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va gen tan vini anvan n'a fin mache nan tout lavil ki nan peyi Izrayèl la.
24 Yon elèv pa pi fò pase mèt li. Nitou, yon domestik pa pi grannèg pase patwon li.
25 Si yon elèv rive fò tankou mèt li, sa kont pou li; si yon domestik rive tankou patwon li, sa kont pou li. Si yo rele mèt kay la Bèlzeboul, se pa lòt moun nan kay la yo p'ap bay pi move non toujou!
26 Se sak fè nou pa bezwen pè pesonn. Pa gen anyen ki kache ki p'ap dekouvri yon lè. Nanpwen sekrè ki p'ap devwale.
27 Tou sa m'ap di nou nan fènwa, nou menm repete l' gwo lajounen. Tou sa yo di nou nan zòrèy, mache bay li nan tout kalfou.
28 Nou pa bezwen pè moun ki kapab touye kò nou, men ki pa kapab touye nanm nou. Se Bondye pou nou pè pito, paske li menm li kapab detwi nanm nou ansanm ak tout kò nou nan lanfè.
29 Eske yo pa vann ti zwazo de pou senk kòb? Malgre sa, pa gen yon sèl ki tonbe atè san Papa nou pa konnen.
30 Pou nou menm menm, ata grenn cheve nan tèt nou, yo tout konte.
31 Se sak fè, nou pa bezwen pè menm: nou vo pi plis pase anpil ti zwazo.
32 Moun ki va kanpe pou mwen devan lèzòm, mwen menm tou, m'a kanpe pou li devan Papa m' ki nan syèl la.
33 Men tou, moun ki va kanpe devan lèzòm pou di li pa konnen m', mwen menm tou, m'a kanpe devan Papa m' ki nan syèl la, m'a di mwen pa konnen l'.
34 Pa mete nan tèt nou se lapè mwen vin mete sou latè; mwen pa vin mete lapè, men mwen vin mete divizyon.
35 Mwen vin mete divizyon ant pitit gason ak papa yo, ant pitit fi ak manman yo, ant bèlfi ak bèlmè yo.
36 Se pwòp fanmi nou ki va pi gwo lènmi nou.
37 Moun ki renmen papa l' osinon manman l' plis pase m' pa kapab moun pa m'. Moun ki renmen pitit gason l' osinon pitit fi l' plis pase m' pa kapab moun pa m'.
38 Moun ki pa pran kwa l' pou l' swiv mwen, li pa kapab moun pa m' non plis.
39 Moun k'ap chache asire lavi l' va pèdi li. Men, moun ki va pèdi lavi l' poutèt mwen va jwenn li ankò.
40 Moun ki resevwa nou, se mwen menm li resevwa. Moun ki resevwa mwen, li resevwa moun ki voye m' lan tou.
41 Moun ki resevwa yon pwofèt Bondye paske se pwofèt Bondye li ye, moun sa a va resevwa rekonpans yo bay yon pwofèt. Moun ki resevwa yon nonm k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye paske se yon moun dwat li ye, moun sa a va resevwa rekonpans yo bay yon moun k'ap mache dwat.
42 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nenpòt moun ki va bay yonn nan ti piti sa yo menm yon gode dlo frèt paske se disip mwen li ye, moun sa a p'ap pèdi rekonpans li.

New International Version
Matthew 10:21-42
New International Version
21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents(A) and have them put to death.(B) 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me,(C) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(D) 23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.(E)
24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.(F) 25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul,(G) how much more the members of his household!
26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(H) 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One(I) who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[a] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(J) 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(K)
32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others,(L) I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.(M)
34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law(N)—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[b](O)
37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.(P) 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.(Q) 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.(R)
40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me,(S) and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(T) 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”(U)
