< Genesis 21 >
1 Now God visited Sarah as he had said, and 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 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set 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 Abraham called 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 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was 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 Abraham was one 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 Sarah said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears 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 She said, "Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse 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 The child grew, and was weaned. 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 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 Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman and her son. For the son of this slave woman will not be heir with my son, 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 The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
Pawòl sa a te fè Abraram lapenn anpil, paske Izmayèl te pitit li tou.
12 God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your slave woman. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For from Isaac will your descendants be called.
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 And I will also make a great nation of the son of the slave woman, because he is your offspring."
M'ap bay pitit sèvant lan anpil pitit pitit. M'ap fè l' tounen yon nasyon, paske se pitit ou li ye tou.
14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took food and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
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 The water in the skin was gone, and she shoved the boy under one of the shrubs.
Lè dlo nan sak la fini, li kite pitit la anba yon touf raje.
16 She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, "Do not let me see the death of the boy." So she sat across from him, and he wept loudly.
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 boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from the sky and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy 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 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him by your hand. For I will make him a great nation."
Leve non, pran ti pitit la, kenbe l'. M'ap fè pitit pitit li yo tounen yon gwo nasyon.
19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a 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 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, 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 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him from 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 It happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do.
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 Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner."
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 swear."
Abraram reponn. -M' fè sèman.
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which 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 Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this thing. Neither did you tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today."
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 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
Abraram pran kèk mouton ak kèk bèf li bay Abimelèk. Konsa, yo pase kontra yonn ak lòt.
28 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 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"
Abimelèk mande l' -Poukisa ou mete sèt mouton sa yo sou kote.
30 He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it 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 Beersheba, because they both swore there.
Se poutèt sa yo rele anplasman an Bècheba, paske se la menm yo te sèmante yonn bay lòt.
32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the commander of his army, and they 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 tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
Se la Bècheba Abraram plante yon pye tonmaren. Lèfini li fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye ki la pou tout tan an.
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
Apre sa, Abraram rete kèk lanne ankò nan peyi Filisti a.
