Genesis 16
1 Now Abram’s wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.
Alò, Saraï, madanm Abram nan pa t bay li pitit. Li te gen yon sèvant Ejipsyen ki te rele Agar.
2 So Sarai said to Abram, “Look now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go to my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
Konsa, Saraï te di Abram: “Alò, gade byen, SENYÈ a te anpeche m fè pitit. Souple, al jwenn sèvant mwen an. Petèt mwen kapab vin gen pitit pa li menm.” Epi Abram te koute vwa a Saraï.
3 So after he had lived in Canaan for ten years, his wife Sarai took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to Abram to be his wife.
Apre Abram te viv dis lane nan peyi Canaan, madanm Abram nan, Saraï te pran Agar, sèvant Ejipsyen li an, e te bay li a mari li Abram kòm madanm li.
4 And he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
Li te al jwenn Agar, li te vin ansent, epi lè l te wè ke li te ansent, mètrès li a te vin meprize nan zye li.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be upon you! I delivered my servant into your arms, and ever since she saw that she was pregnant, she has treated me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me.”
Konsa, Saraï te di Abram: “Se ou ki gen tò nan bagay sa a. Mwen te bay sèvant mwen an pou li antre nan bra ou, e lè l te wè ke li te vin ansent, mwen te vin meprize nan zye li. Ke SENYÈ a jije antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
6 “Here,” said Abram, “your servant is in your hands. Do whatever you want with her.” Then Sarai treated Hagar so harshly that she fled from her.
Men Abram te di a Saraï: “Gade byen, sèvant ou anba pouvwa ou. Fè sa ke ou wè ki bon nan zye ou avèk li.” Pou sa, Saraï te rèd avèk li, e li te pran sove ale kite prezans li.
7 Now the angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the desert—the spring along the road to Shur.
Alò zanj lan te twouve li akote yon sous dlo nan savann nan, vè sous la nan wout chemen ki ale Schur la.
8 “Hagar, servant of Sarai,” he said, “where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I am running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.
Li te di a Agar, sèvant Saraï a, “Kibò ou sòti, e kibò ou prale?” Epi li te di: “M ap sove ale kite prezans mètrès mwen an, Saraï.”
9 So the angel of the LORD told her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.”
Epi zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Retounen bò kote mètrès ou, e soumèt ou anba otorite l.”
10 Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”
Plis ke sa, zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Mwen va miltipliye desandan ou yo anpil pou yo vin twòp pou konte.”
11 The angel of the LORD proceeded: “Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your cry of affliction.
Zanj SENYÈ a te di li anplis: “Byen gade, ou ansent, e ou va fè yon fis. Epi ou va rele non li Ismaël ki vle di Bondye tande, akoz SENYÈ a te okipe afliksyon ou yo.
12 He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
Li va yon nonm tankou bourik mawon. Men li va kont tout moun, e men a tout moun va kont li. Epi li va viv yon jan ki kont tout frè li yo.”
13 So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen the One who sees me!”
Epi li te rele non SENYÈ a ki te pale avèk li: “Ou se yon Bondye ki wè a”, paske li te di: “Èske m ap vrèman rete vivan isit lè m fin wè Li”?
14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is located between Kadesh and Bered.
Pou sa, pwi a te rele Lachaï-roi. Gade byen, li la antre Kadès ak Bared.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.
Alò, Agar te fè yon fis pou Abram. E Abram te rele fis li a, ke Agar te fè a, Ismaël.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him.
Abram te gen katre-ven-sis ane lè Agar te fè Ismaël pou li a.
