Genesis 17
1 And Abram was ninety-nine years old, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I [am] the Almighty God: walk before my face, and be perfect.
Alò, lè Abram te gen laj katre-ven-sèz ane, SENYÈ a te parèt a Abram. Li te di li: “Mwen menm se Bondye Toupwisan an. Mache devan mwen, e rete san fot.
2 And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.
Mwen va etabli akò Mwen antre Mwen ak Ou, e Mwen va miltipliye ou anpil, anpil.”
3 And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,
Abram te tonbe atè sou figi li. Bondye te pale avèk li, e te di:
4 It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
“Pou Mwen, koute byen, akò Mwen avè ou a. Ou va papa a yon gran kantite nasyon.
5 And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.
Yo p ap rele ou Abram ankò, men non ou va Abraham, paske Mwen ap fè ou papa a yon gran kantite nasyon.
6 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
“M ap fè ou bay anpil fwi, Mwen va fè nasyon yo avè w, e wa yo va soti nan ou menm.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
“Mwen va etabli akò Mwen antre Mwen ak ou, e desandan ou yo selon tout jenerasyon pa yo kòm yon akò k ap pou tout tan, pou M rete kòm Bondye pou ou ak desandan apre ou yo.
8 And I give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be a God to them.
“Mwen va ba ou avèk desandan ou yo peyi kote nou vwayaje yo, tout tè Canaan an, kòm yon posesyon k ap pou tout tan, epi Mwen va Bondye pa yo.”
9 And God said to Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.
Bondye te di anplis a Abraham: “Koulye a pou ou, ou va kenbe akò Mwen an, ou menm avèk desandan apre ou yo pou tout jenerasyon.
10 This is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee — that every male among you be circumcised.
Sa se akò Mwen, ke nou va kenbe antre Mwen ak nou menm, e desandan apre nou yo: chak mal pami nou va vin sikonsi.
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
““Nou va sikonsi nan chè sou avan chè nou, e sa ap sèvi kòm sign akò antre Mwen ak nou.
12 And at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you — he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed.
Epi chak mal antre nou ki gen uit jou va sikonsi selon tout jenerasyon nou yo, e osi yon sèvitè ki fèt lakay ou, oswa ki achte avèk lajan a nenpòt etranje ki pa sòti nan desandan pa nou yo.
13 He who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Yon sèvitè ki fèt lakay nou, oswa ki te achte avèk lajan nou va asireman vin sikonsi; konsa akò Mwen va nan chè nou, yon akò pou tout tan.
14 And the uncircumcised male who hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath broken my covenant.
Men yon mal ki pa sikonsi nan avan chè li, moun sila a va vin retire de pèp li a. Li vyole akò Mwen an.”
15 And God said to Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
Epi Bondye te di a Abraham: “Konsènan madanm ou, Saraï, ou pa pou rele li Saraï, men Sarah va non li.
16 And I will bless her, and I will give thee a son also of her; and I will bless her, and she shall become nations: kings of peoples shall be of her.
Mwen va beni li, Mwen va bay ou yon fis pa li. Alò, Mwen va beni li, e li va yon manman pou anpil nasyon. Wa a pèp yo va sòti nan li.”
17 And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?
Nan moman sa a, Abraham te tonbe sou figi li. Li te ri e li te di nan kè l: “Èske yon pitit va fèt a yon nonm santan? Epi èske Sarah, ki gen katre-ven-diz ane va fè yon pitit?”
18 And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!
Konsa, Abraham te di a Bondye: “O ke Ismaël kapab viv devan Ou!”
19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall indeed bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
Men Bondye te di: “Non, men Sarah, madanm ou an va fè yon fis, e ou va rele non li Isaac. Mwen va etabli akò Mwen an avèk li pou yon akò pou tout tan pou desandan apre li yo.
20 And for Ishmael I have heard thee: behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful, and will very greatly multiply him; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
“Pou Ismaël, Mwen te tande ou. Gade byen, Mwen va fè li bay anpil fwi, e li va miltipliye li anpil, anpil. Li va vin papa a douz prens yo, e Mwen va fè li vin yon gran nasyon.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.
“Men akò Mwen an, Mwen va etabli li avèk Isaac, ke Sarah va fè pou ou nan menm sezon sa a, lane pwochèn.”
22 And he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.
Lè Li te fin pale avèk li, Bondye te monte kite Abraham.
23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money — every male among the people of Abraham's house — and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.
Alò, Abraham te pran Ismaël, fis li a, tout sèvitè ki te fèt nan kay li, tout ki te achte avèk lajan li, chak mal pami mesye lakay Abraham yo, e li te sikonsi prepis yo nan menm jou sa a jan Bondye te di li a.
24 And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Alò, Abraham te gen katre-ven-diz ane lè li te sikonsi nan chè pwen pye li.
25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Epi Ismaël, fis li a te gen trèz ane lè li te sikonsi nan chè pwen pye li.
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
Nan menm jou sa a, Abraham te sikonsi, ansanm ak fis li, Ismaël.
27 and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Tout gason lakay li yo, ki te fèt lakay li, ki te achte avèk lajan nan men moun etranje, te sikonsi avèk li.
