Genesis 22
1 After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
Alò, li te vin pase apre bagay sa yo, ke Bondye te fè Abraham pase yon eprèv. Li te di li: “Abraham!” Epi li te reponn: “Men mwen”.
2 He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to you.”
Li te di: “Pran koulye a fis ou a, sèl fis ou a, ke ou renmen an, Isaac, epi ale nan peyi Morija. Ofri li la kòm yon ofrann ki brile, sou youn nan mòn yo ke Mwen va di ou yo.”
3 And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
Alò, Abraham te leve granmmaten. Li te sele bourik li, e li te pran de nan jennonm sèvitè li yo avè l, ansanm avèk Isaac, fis li a. Konsa, yo te fann bwa pou ofrann brile a, e yo te leve ale nan plas kote Bondye te di li a.
4 Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
Nan twazyèm jou a, Abraham te leve zye li, e li te wè plas la nan yon distans.
5 And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.”
Abraham te di a jèn sèvitè li yo: “Rete isit la avèk bourik la. Mwen menm avèk jènjan an va ale lòtbò a. Nou va adore, e retounen bò kote nou.”
6 He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,
Abraham te pran bwa dife pou ofrann brile a. Li te poze li sou Isaac, fis li a, e li te pran nan men l dife ak kouto a. Epi yo de a te mache avanse ansanm.
7 Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
Isaac te pale avèk papa li, Abraham, e te di li: “Papa m!” Epi li te reponn: “Men mwen, fis mwen.” Konsa, li te di l: “Gade, men dife a avèk bwa, men kote jèn mouton an ye pou fè sakrifis la?”
8 But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
Abraham te di: “Bondye va fè pwovizyon Li menm pou jèn mouton an, fis mwen.” Epi yo de a te mache avanse ansanm.
9 And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
Alò yo rive nan plas ke Bondye te di li a, epi Abraham te bati yon lotèl la. Li te ranje bwa, li te mare fis li a, Isaac, e li te poze li sou lotèl la anwo tout bwa yo.
10 And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
Abraham te lonje men l, e li te pran kouto a pou touye fis li a.
11 And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
Men zanj SENYÈ a te rele li depi nan syèl la e te di: “Abraham, Abraham!” Li te reponn: “Men mwen isit la.”
12 And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
Li te di: “Pa lonje men ou kont jènjan an, ni pa fè l anyen. Paske koulye a Mwen konnen ke ou krent Bondye, akoz ke ou pa t refize bay fis ou a, sèl fis ou ban Mwen an.”
13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead of his son.
Alò, Abraham te leve zye li pou te gade, e byen wè, yon belye ki te kenbe pa kòn li, nan yon rakbwa. Abraham te ale pran belye a, e li te ofri li kòm ofrann brile a nan plas a fis li a.
14 And he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
Abraham te rele non plas sa a Jehova-Jiré, Bondye Va Fè Pwovizyon. Jis jounen jodi a, yo kon di, “Nan mòn SENYÈ a, va gen pwovizyon.”
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
Alò, zanj SENYÈ a te rele Abraham yon dezyèm fwa soti nan syèl la,
16 “By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
e te di: “Pou kont Mwen menm, Mwen te sèmante, deklare SENYÈ a, akoz ou te fè bagay sa a, e ou pa t refize fis ou a, sèl fis inik ou an,
17 I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
anverite Mwen va beni ou anpil. Mwen va miltipliye posterite ou tankou zetwal syèl yo, ak tankou grenn sab lanmè ki arebò lanmè yo, epi posterite ou va posede pòtay lènmi pa yo.
18 And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
Nan posterite ou, tout nasyon sou latè yo va beni, akoz ke ou te obeyi vwa Mwen.”
19 Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
Epi Abraham te retounen vè jèn sèvitè yo. Yo te leve e te ale ansanm Beer-Schéba. Konsa, Abraham te rete Beer-Schéba.
20 After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
Li te vin rive apre bagay sa yo ke yo te pale ak Abraham e te di: “Gade byen, Milca osi te fè pitit pou frè ou, Nahor:
21 Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
Uts se premye ne li, epi Buz frè li, avèk Kemuel, papa Aram nan
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
epi Késed, Hazo, Pildasch, Jidlaph, ak Bethuel.”
23 as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
Bethuel te vin papa Rebecca. Uit de Milcah sa yo te fè pitit pou Nahor, frè Abraham nan.
24 In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Konkibin li ki te rele Réuma, osi te fè Thébach, Gaham, Tahasch, ak Maaca.
