< Genesis 21 >

1 The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Epi SENYÈ a te bay atansyon a Sarah jan Li te pale a, e SENYÈ a te fè sa pou Sarah jan li te pwomèt la.
2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Alò, Sarah te vin ansent, e li te anfante yon fis pou Abraham nan vyeyès li, nan lè chwazi ke Bondye te pale li a.
3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Abraham te rele non a fis ki te fèt a li menm nan, ke Sarah te fè pou li a, Isaac.
4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Epi Abraham te sikonsi fis li a, Isaac lè l te gen laj uit jou, jan Bondye te kòmande li a.
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
Alò, Abraham te gen laj san ane lè fis li a, Isaac te vin fèt a li menm.
6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
Sarah te di: “Bondye te fè m fè gwo ri. Tout moun ki tande va ri avèk mwen.”
7 She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
Epi li te di: “kilès ki ta di a Abraham ke Sarah ta bay tete a timoun? Paske mwen ba li yon fis nan vyeyès li.”
8 The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Pitit la te grandi e li te vin sevre. Abraham te fè yon gwo fèt nan jou ke Isaac te sevre a.
9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Alò, Sarah te wè fis Agar a, Ejipsyen an, ke li te fè pou Abraham nan, t ap moke l.
10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”
Akoz sa, li te di Abraham: “Mete bòn sa a deyò ansanm avèk fis li a! Paske fis a sèvant sa a p ap vin eritye avèk fis mwen an, Isaac.”
11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
Bagay sa a te twouble Abraham anpil akoz fis li a.
12 God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.
Men Bondye te di a Abraham: “Pa enkyete akoz pwoblèm jènjan sa a avèk sèvant ou an. Nenpòt sa ke Sarah di ou, koute li, paske se nan Isaac desandan ou yo va vin nome.
13 I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
Ak fis sèvant lan, Mwen va fè yon nasyon tou, akoz ke li menm se desandan ou.”
14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Konsa, Abraham te leve bonè nan maten. Li te pran pen avèk yon kwi dlo, e li te bay yo a Agar. Li te vin mete yo sou zepòl li, li te ba li jènjan an, e li te voye li ale. Li te pati e li te vwayaje nan dezè Beer-Schéba a.
15 The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
Lè dlo ki te nan kwi a, te fin sèvi, li te kite jènjan an anba yon ti ab.
16 She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Do not let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
Alò, li te ale chita nan distans yon flèch kab tire, e li te di: “Pa kite m wè jènjan an k ap mouri.” Konsa, li te chita anfas li; li te leve vwa li, e li te kriye.
17 God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
Bondye te tande jènjan an t ap kriye, epi zanj Bondye a te rele Agar depi nan Syèl la. Li te di l: “Kisa ou gen, Agar? Pa pè, paske Bondye te tande vwa jènjan an kote li ye a.
18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
Leve, ale fè jènjan an leve, e kenbe li nan men, paske Mwen va fè yon gran nasyon ak li.”
19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
Epi Bondye te ouvri zye l, e li te wè yon pwi dlo. Li te ale plen po a avèk dlo, e li te bay jènjan an bwè ladann.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.
Bondye te avèk jènjan an, e li te grandi. Li te viv nan dezè a e li te vin yon achè.
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
Li te viv nan dezè Paran an, e manman l te pran yon madanm pou li nan peyi Égypte la.
22 At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
Alò, li te vin rive nan tan sa a ke Abimélec avèk Picol, chèf lame li, te pale avèk Abraham. Li te di l: “Bondye avèk ou nan tout sa ou fè
23 Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
Pou sa, fè sèman ban mwen menm isit la devan Bondye ke ou p ap twonpe ni mwen, ni pitit mwen yo, ni posterite mwen yo, men selon tout gras ke m te montre ou, ou va montre m tou, nan peyi kote ou te demere kon yon etranje a.”
24 Abraham said, “I will swear.”
Abraham te di: “Mwen fè sèman sa a.”
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Men Abraham te plenyen bay Abimélec akoz pwi dlo ke sèvitè Abimélec yo te sezi a.
26 Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing. You did not tell me, and I did not hear of it until today.”
Abimélec te reponn: “Mwen pa konnen kilès ki te fè ou bagay sa a. Ou pa t di m sa, ni mwen pa t tande sa, jis rive jodi a.”
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
Abraham te pran mouton avèk bèf, e li te bay yo a Abimélec. Konsa, yo de a te fè yon akò.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Abraham te mete sèt jèn mouton femèl ki sòti nan bann mouton apa pou kont yo.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”
Abimélec te di a Abraham: “Kisa sa vle di; sèt jèn mouton femèl ke ou te mete apa pou kont yo?”
30 He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”
Li te di: “Ou va pran sèt jèn mouton femèl sa yo nan men m pou yo kapab devni yon temwen pou mwen ke mwen te fouye pwi sa a.”
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.
Pou sa, li te rele plas sila a Beer-Schéba, paske se la ke yo de a te fè sèman an.
32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
Alò, yo te fè yon akò nan Beer-Schéba. Konsa, Abimélec avèk Picol, kòmandan lame a, te leve retounen nan peyi Filisten yo.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
Abraham te plante la yon pyebwa tamaris nan Beer-Schéba, e la li te rele sou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Letènèl la.
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
Epi Abraham te demere nan peyi Filistyen yo pandan anpil jou.
