Genesis 21
1 Then the Lord visited Sarah, just as he had promised; and he fulfilled what 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 And she conceived and gave birth to a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold to her.
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 called the name of his son, whom Sarah bore for him, Isaac.
Abraham te rele non a fis ki te fèt a li menm nan, ke Sarah te fè pou li a, Isaac.
4 And he circumcised him on the eighth day, just as God had instructed him,
Epi Abraham te sikonsi fis li a, Isaac lè l te gen laj uit jou, jan Bondye te kòmande li a.
5 when he was one hundred years old. Indeed, at this stage of his father’s life, Isaac was born.
Alò, Abraham te gen laj san ane lè fis li a, Isaac te vin fèt a li menm.
6 And Sarah said: “God has brought laughter to me. Whoever will hear of it will laugh with me.”
Sarah te di: “Bondye te fè m fè gwo ri. Tout moun ki tande va ri avèk mwen.”
7 And again, she said: “Hearing this, who would believe Abraham, that Sarah breast-fed a son, to whom she gave birth, despite being elderly?”
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 And the boy grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
Pitit la te grandi e li te vin sevre. Abraham te fè yon gwo fèt nan jou ke Isaac te sevre a.
9 And when Sarah had seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with her son Isaac, she said to Abraham:
Alò, Sarah te wè fis Agar a, Ejipsyen an, ke li te fè pou Abraham nan, t ap moke l.
10 “Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman 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 Abraham took this grievously, for the sake of his son.
Bagay sa a te twouble Abraham anpil akoz fis li a.
12 And God said to him: “Let it not seem harsh to you concerning the boy and your woman servant. In all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be invoked in 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 Yet I will also make the son of the woman servant into a great nation, for he is your offspring.”
Ak fis sèvant lan, Mwen va fè yon nasyon tou, akoz ke li menm se desandan ou.”
14 And so Abraham arose in the morning, and taking bread and a skin of water, he placed it upon her shoulder, and he handed over the boy, and he released her. And when she had departed, she 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 And when the water in the skin had been consumed, she set aside the boy, under one of the trees that were there.
Lè dlo ki te nan kwi a, te fin sèvi, li te kite jènjan an anba yon ti ab.
16 And she moved away and sat in a distant area, as far as a bow can reach. For she said, “I shall not see the boy die.” And so, sitting opposite her, he lifted up his 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 But God heard the voice of the boy. And an Angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, saying: “What are you doing, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heeded the voice of the boy, from the place 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 Rise up. Take the boy and hold him by the hand. For I will make of 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 And God opened her eyes. And seeing a well of water, she went and filled the skin, and she gave the boy to 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 him. And he grew, and he stayed in the wilderness, and he became a young man, an archer.
Bondye te avèk jènjan an, e li te grandi. Li te viv nan dezè a e li te vin yon achè.
21 And he lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother took 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 the same time, Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, said to Abraham: “God is with you in everything 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 Therefore, swear by God that you will do no harm to me, and to my posterity, and to my stock. But according to the mercy that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land, to which you have turned as a newcomer.”
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 said, “I will swear.”
Abraham te di: “Mwen fè sèman sa a.”
25 And he reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
Men Abraham te plenyen bay Abimélec akoz pwi dlo ke sèvitè Abimélec yo te sezi a.
26 And Abimelech responded, “I do not know who did this thing, but you also did not reveal it to me, nor have I heard of it, before 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 And so Abraham took sheep and oxen, and he gave them to Abimelech. And both of them struck a pact.
Abraham te pran mouton avèk bèf, e li te bay yo a Abimélec. Konsa, yo de a te fè yon akò.
28 And Abraham set aside seven female lambs from the flock.
Abraham te mete sèt jèn mouton femèl ki sòti nan bann mouton apa pou kont yo.
29 Abimelech said to him, “What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?”
Abimélec te di a Abraham: “Kisa sa vle di; sèt jèn mouton femèl ke ou te mete apa pou kont yo?”
30 But he said, “You will receive seven female lambs from my hand, so that they may be a testimony for me, 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 For this reason, that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them did swear.
Pou sa, li te rele plas sila a Beer-Schéba, paske se la ke yo de a te fè sèman an.
32 And they initiated a pact on behalf of the well of oath.
Alò, yo te fè yon akò nan Beer-Schéba. Konsa, Abimélec avèk Picol, kòmandan lame a, te leve retounen nan peyi Filisten yo.
33 Then Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, rose up, and they returned to the land of the Palestinians. In truth, Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the Lord God Eternal.
Abraham te plante la yon pyebwa tamaris nan Beer-Schéba, e la li te rele sou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Letènèl la.
34 And he was a settler in the land of the Palestinians for many days.
Epi Abraham te demere nan peyi Filistyen yo pandan anpil jou.
