< Genesis 21 >
1 And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Seyè a fè Sara favè, jan l' te di l' la. Li fè sa l' te pwomèt li a rive vre.
2 And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.
Sara vin ansent. Atout li te fin vye granmoun lan, li fè yon pitit gason pou Abraram, nan dat Bondye te di l' la.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Abraram rele pitit gason Sara te fè pou li a Izarak.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Ti gason an te gen wit jou lè Abraram sikonsi l', jan Bondye te ba li lòd la.
5 And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
Abraram te gen santan sou tèt li lè Izarak, pitit li a, te fèt.
6 And Sarah said, God has made me laugh: all that hear will laugh with me.
Sara di konsa. Bondye fè m' bagay ki fè m' ri. tout moun ki tande sa pral ri avè m' tou.
7 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle children? For I have borne [him] a son in his old age.
Apre sa, li di ankò: -Ki moun ki ta di Abraram yon jou Sara gen pou bay timoun tete? Men, atout li fin vye a, mwen fè yon pitit gason pou li.
8 And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Ti gason an grandi, li sevre. Jou yo sevre l' la, Abraram fè yon gwo fèt.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Yon jou Izmayèl, pitit Aga, fanm peyi Lejip la te fè pou Abraram lan t'ap jwe ak Izarak, pitit Sara a. Sara wè sa.
10 And she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son — with Isaac.
Li di Abraram konsa: -Mete sèvant la deyò ansanm ak tout pitit li a, paske pitit sèvant sa a pa gen dwa eritye ak Izarak, pitit mwen an.
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
Pawòl sa a te fè Abraram lapenn anpil, paske Izmayèl te pitit li tou.
12 And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy handmaid: [in] all that Sarah hath said to thee hearken to her voice, for in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
Men, Bondye di Abraram konsa-Ou pa bezwen pran lapenn pou ti gason an ak pou Aga, sèvant ou a. Ou mèt fè tout sa Sara di ou fè a, paske se Izarak ki pral ba ou pitit pitit mwen pwomèt ou yo.
13 But also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
M'ap bay pitit sèvant lan anpil pitit pitit. M'ap fè l' tounen yon nasyon, paske se pitit ou li ye tou.
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave [it] to Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder — and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
Nan denmen Abraram leve bonè, li pran pen ak yon sak an po bèt plen dlo, li bay Aga. Li ede l' mete yo sou tèt li. Li ba li pitit la, li fè l' ale kite kay la. Aga pati, li mache, li mache, jouk li pèdi nan dezè Bècheba a.
15 And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,
Lè dlo nan sak la fini, li kite pitit la anba yon touf raje.
16 and she went and sat down over against [him], a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lifted up her voice and wept.
li ale, li chita pi devan, yon bon ti distans, li di nan kè l' -Mwen pa ka rete ap gade pitit mwen an ap mouri konsa. Pandan li chita konsa, pitit la pran rele.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What [aileth] thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is.
Bondye tande rèl pitit la. Zanj Bondye a rete nan syèl la, li pale ak Aga, li di l' konsa-Sa ou genyen, Aga? Ou pa bezwen pè. Kote Bondye ye a, li tande rèl ti pitit la.
18 Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation.
Leve non, pran ti pitit la, kenbe l'. M'ap fè pitit pitit li yo tounen yon gwo nasyon.
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.
Bondye louvri je Aga. Aga wè yon pi. li ale, li plen sak an po a dlo. Li bay ti pitit la bwè dlo kont kò l'.
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Bondye te avèk ti pitit la. Li grandi, li rete nan dezè a. Li te rive konn tire flèch nan banza ak anpil ladrès.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Se nan dezè Paran li te rete. Manman l' te chwazi yon madanm pou li nan jenn fi peyi Lejip yo.
22 And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
Lè sa a, Abimelèk ale ansanm avek Pikòl, kòmandan lame li a, li pale ak Abraram. Li di l' konsa-Bondye avè ou nan tout sa w'ap fè.
23 And now swear to me here by God that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou sojournest.
Koulye a, fè sèman, isit la menm, devan Bondye, ou p'ap janm twonpe ni mwen menm, ni pitit mwen yo, ni pitit pitit mwen yo. Mwen te aji byen avè ou. Pwomèt w'ap aji byen avè m' tou, epi w'ap sèvi byen ak tout moun nan peyi kote ou rete a.
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
Abraram reponn. -M' fè sèman.
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
Men Abraram te fè Abimelèk repwòch pou yon pi li domestik Abimelèk yo te pran pa fòs.
26 And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this, neither hast thou told me [of it], neither have I heard [of it] but to-day.
Abimelèk di l' -Mwen pa konnen ki moun ki fè sa. Ni tou, ou pa t' janm di m' anyen sou sa. Se koulye a m'ap tande koze a.
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
Abraram pran kèk mouton ak kèk bèf li bay Abimelèk. Konsa, yo pase kontra yonn ak lòt.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
Abraram pran sèt mouton nan bann mouton l' yo, li mete yo sou kote.
29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves?
Abimelèk mande l' -Poukisa ou mete sèt mouton sa yo sou kote.
30 And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.
Abraram reponn li-Asepte sèt mouton sa yo. Si ou asepte yo, sa vle di ou rekonèt devan tout moun se mwen menm ki te fouye pi a.
31 Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there they had sworn, both of them.
Se poutèt sa yo rele anplasman an Bècheba, paske se la menm yo te sèmante yonn bay lòt.
32 And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Philistines.
Se Bècheba yo te pase kontra yonn ak lòt. Apre sa, Abimelèk leve, li tounen nan peyi moun Filisti yo, ansanm ak Pikòl, kòmandan lame li a.
33 And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Eternal God.
Se la Bècheba Abraram plante yon pye tonmaren. Lèfini li fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye ki la pou tout tan an.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
Apre sa, Abraram rete kèk lanne ankò nan peyi Filisti a.
