Genesis 26
1 Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.
Te vin gen yon lòt grangou nan peyi a, pi rèd pase sa ki te tonbe sou peyi a nan tan Abraram lan. Lè sa a, Izarak ale yon kote yo rele Gera kay Abimelèk, wa moun Filisti yo.
2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.
Izarak fè yon vizyon, li wè Seyè a parèt devan l'. Seyè a di l': -Pa desann nan peyi Lejip, rete kote m'ap di ou rete a.
3 Stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.
W'a pase kèk tan nan peyi sa a. M'ap avè ou, m'ap beni ou, paske mwen pral ba ou tout tè sa a pou ou menm ak pou tout ras ou. m'a kenbe sèman mwen te fè bay Abraram, papa ou.
4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,
M'ap ba ou anpil anpil pitit tankou zetwal nan syèl la. M'ap ba yo tout tè sa yo. Gremesi pitit pitit ou yo, tout nasyon sou latè pral jwenn benediksyon.
5 because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
tout sa, paske Abraram te tande m' lè m' te pale avè l', li te swiv tout lòd mwen yo ak tout kòmandman mwen yo. Li te fè tout sa mwen mande l', li te obeyi tout lwa mwen yo.
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
Se konsa Izarak rete kote yo rele Gera a.
7 But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of this place will kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”
Lè mesye ki te rete nan peyi a mande l' kisa madanm li ye pou li, li reponn yo se sè l' li ye, paske li te pè di se madanm li Rebeka te ye pou mesye yo pa t' touye l' pou yo te ka pran Rebeka ki te bèl anpil.
8 When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
Izarak te gen kèk tan depi l' te rete la. Yon jou, Abimelek, wa moun Filisti yo, t'ap gade nan fennèt li, li te wè Izarak ki t'ap pase men sou Rebeka, madanm li.
9 Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”
Lè sa a, Abimelèk voye chache Izarak. Li di l' konsa: -Gade non, monchè, se madanm ou li ye! Poukisa ou di se sè ou li ye! Izarak reponn li: -Mwen te di sa paske mwen te kwè yo ta ka touye m', si m' te di se madanm mwen li ye.
10 “What is this you have done to us?” asked Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
Abimelèk di l': -Kisa ou fè nou konsa? Yonn nan mesye nou yo ta ka byen rive kouche avèk madanm ou! Se ou ki ta lakòz nou fè peche sa a.
11 So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
Se konsa Abimelèk pase lòd sa a bay tout pèp la: -Si yon moun manyen nonm sa a, osinon madanm li, y'ap touye l'.
12 Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,
Izarak fè jaden nan peyi a. Lè lanne a bout, li rekòlte san fwa valè sa l' te plante a, paske Seyè a te beni l'.
13 and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.
Msye te vin rich. Li t'ap fè lajan toujou, jouk li rive vin rich anpil anpil.
14 He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
Li te gen kantite kabrit, mouton ak bèf, ak anpil moun ki t'ap sèvi l'. Sa te fè moun Filisti yo rayi sò li.
15 So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.
Se konsa yo konble tout pi domestik Abraram yo te fouye sou tan Abraram, papa Izarak. Yo plen yo tè.
16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”
Lèfini, Abimelèk di Izarak: -Pati, al fè wout ou! Ou pi grannèg pase nou.
17 So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
Se konsa Izarak pati kite kote l' te ye a, li ale nan Fon Gera a. Se la li moute kay li pou l' rete.
18 Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.
Li fè refouye tout pi dlo yo te fouye sou tan Abraram, papa l'. Se pi sa yo moun Filisti yo te bouche apre lanmò Abraram. Izarak ba yo menm non papa l' te ba yo a.
19 Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.
Domestik Izarak yo te fouye ankò nan fon an. Yo te jwenn yon sous dlo k'ap ponpe.
20 But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.
Men, gadò mouton peyi Gera yo leve yon sèl kont avèk gadò mouton Izarak yo. Yo t'ap di: -Dlo sa a, se pou nou li ye. Se konsa Izarak rele pi a Pi dezagreman paske yo te chache l' dezagreman pou dlo a.
21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
Domestik Izarak yo fouye yon lòt pi ki te lakòz yo chache yo kont ankò. Se konsa Izarak rele pi a Pi ki fè lènmi.
22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
Lè l' wè sa, li wete kò l' kote l' te ye a, li fouye yon lòt pi pou sa pa t' fè kont. Se poutèt sa li rele pi a Pi ki pa nan kont. Li di: -Koulye a Seyè a ban nou kont espas nan peyi a pou nou pa nan kont. Se atò zafè nou pral mache nan peyi a.
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,
Izarak pati, li moute Bècheba.
24 and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”
Menm jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit, Seyè a parèt nan yon vizyon, li di Izarak konsa: -Mwen se Bondye Abraram, papa ou. Ou pa bezwen pè anyen, paske mwen la avèk ou. M'ap beni ou, m'ap ba ou anpil pitit pitit, poutèt Abraram, sèvitè m' lan.
25 So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.
Izarak bati yon lotèl la, li fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Li moute kay li la. Domestik li yo fouye yon lòt pi.
26 Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
Abimelèk soti Gera, li vin wè Izarak. Li te gen avè l' Akouzat, yon bon zanmi l', ak Pikòl, kòmandan lame li a.
27 “Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”
Izarak mande yo: -Poukisa nou vin wè m' koulye a? Jan nou te rayi m' sa a jouk nou te rive mete m' deyò nan peyi nou an!
28 “We can plainly see that the LORD has been with you,” they replied. “We recommend that there should now be an oath between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you
Yo reponn li: -Koulye a nou konnen Seyè a avèk ou. Se poutèt sa nou di n'ap fè yon kontra avè ou, n'ap sèmante yonn bay lòt.
29 that you will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only good to you, sending you on your way in peace. And now you are blessed by the LORD.”
W'ap sèmante ou p'ap janm fè nou anyen, menm jan nou pa t' janm fè ou anyen. W'ap sèmante nou te toujou aji byen avè ou. Nou kite ou ale san bri san kont. Koulye a, ou gen benediksyon Bondye sou ou.
30 So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
Izarak fè gwo fèt pou yo. Yo manje, yo bwè.
31 And they got up early the next morning and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.
Nan granmaten, yo leve, yo sèmante yonn bay lòt. Apre sa, moun Filisti yo di Izarak orevwa. Yo separe tankou de bon zanmi, epi y al fè wout yo.
32 On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.
Menm jou sa a, domestik Izarak yo vin ba l' nouvèl pi yo t'ap fouye a. Yo di l': -Nou jwenn dlo.
33 So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.
Izarak rele pi a Chibeya. Se poutèt sa, jouk jòdi a, yo rele lavil la Bècheba.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Ezaou te gen karantan lè l' marye ak Jidit, pitit fi Beri, yon moun Et. Li te gen yon lòt madanm tout yo te rele Basmat, pitit fi Elon, yon moun Et tou.
35 And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
Medam sa yo te rann Izarak ak Rebeka lavi minab.
