Genesis 17
1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Yhwh appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou 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 make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
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 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
“Pou Mwen, koute byen, akò Mwen avè ou a. Ou va papa a yon gran kantite nasyon.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many 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 exceeding 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 unto 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 will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
“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 unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, 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; Every man child among you shall 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 it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt 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 he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which 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 that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs 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 man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; 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 unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
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 give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people 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 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that 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 unto God, O 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 bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with 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 as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; 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, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set 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 that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto 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 years old and nine, 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 the house, and 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.
