Genesis 21
1 Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
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 So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
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 And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
Abraham te rele non a fis ki te fèt a li menm nan, ke Sarah te fè pou li a, Isaac.
4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, 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 a 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 Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
Sarah te di: “Bondye te fè m fè gwo ri. Tout moun ki tande va ri avèk mwen.”
7 She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet 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 So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day 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 But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
Alò, Sarah te wè fis Agar a, Ejipsyen an, ke li te fè pou Abraham nan, t ap moke l.
10 and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance 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 Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
Bagay sa a te twouble Abraham anpil akoz fis li a.
12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.
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 But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
Ak fis sèvant lan, Mwen va fè yon nasyon tou, akoz ke li menm se desandan ou.”
14 Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left 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 When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
Lè dlo ki te nan kwi a, te fin sèvi, li te kite jènjan an anba yon ti ab.
16 Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I cannot bear to watch the boy die!” And as she sat nearby, she 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 Then God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he lies.
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 take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
Leve, ale fè jènjan an leve, e kenbe li nan men, paske Mwen va fè yon gran nasyon ak li.”
19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin 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 And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
Bondye te avèk jènjan an, e li te grandi. Li te viv nan dezè a e li te vin yon achè.
21 And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from 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 commander of his army said to Abraham, “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 before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
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 And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
Abraham te di: “Mwen fè sèman sa a.”
25 But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
Men Abraham te plenyen bay Abimélec akoz pwi dlo ke sèvitè Abimélec yo te sezi a.
26 Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about 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 So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men 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 separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
Abraham te mete sèt jèn mouton femèl ki sòti nan bann mouton apa pou kont yo.
29 and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
Abimélec te di a Abraham: “Kisa sa vle di; sèt jèn mouton femèl ke ou te mete apa pou kont yo?”
30 He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I 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 So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
Pou sa, li te rele plas sila a Beer-Schéba, paske se la ke yo de a te fè sèman an.
32 After they had made the covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army got up and returned to 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 And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
Abraham te plante la yon pyebwa tamaris nan Beer-Schéba, e la li te rele sou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Letènèl la.
34 And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
Epi Abraham te demere nan peyi Filistyen yo pandan anpil jou.
