< Genesis 26 >
1 There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Alò, te gen yon gwo grangou nan peyi a, ki te fèt apre gwo grangou ki te fèt nan jou Abraham yo. Isaac te ale Guérar vè Abimélec, wa Filisten yo.
2 And God appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
Senyè a te parèt a li menm e te di: “Pa desann an Égypte. Rete nan peyi ke Mwen va montre ou a.
3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
Rete pou yon tan nan peyi sa a, Mwen va avèk ou, e Mwen va beni ou, paske a ou menm ak desandan ou yo, Mwen va bay tout peyi sa yo, e Mwen va etabli sèman ke Mwen te sèmante a papa ou a, Abraham.
4 I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the sky, and will give to your descendants all these lands, and by your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed,
“Mwen va miltipliye desandan ou yo tankou zetwal nan syèl la, e va bay tout tè sa yo a desandan ou yo. E nan desandan ou yo, tout nasyon latè yo va beni,
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
akoz Abraham te obeyi Mwen, e kenbe chaj Mwen, Kòmandman Mwen yo, règleman Mwen yo, avèk lwa Mwen yo.”
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
Konsa, Isaac te viv Guérar.
7 The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife," lest, he thought, "the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at."
Lè mesye yo nan plas la te mande li de madanm li, li te di: “Li se sè mwen,” paske li te pè pou di “madanm mwen” akoz li te panse: “mesye yo nan zòn sa a ta kapab touye mwen pou Rebecca, paske li bèl.”
8 It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and look, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
Li te rive lè li te rete la pandan anpil tan, ke Abimélec, wa Filisten yo t ap gade nan yon fenèt, e gade, li te wè Isaac ki t ap karese madanm li, Rebecca.
9 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Look, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.'"
Alò, Abimélec te rele Isaac e te di: “Gade sa, vrèman li se madanm ou! Kòman ou te fè di mwen: ‘Li se sè mwen’”? Isaac te di li: “Akoz ke mwen te di: ‘Mwen ta kapab mouri akoz li.’”
10 Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us."
Abimélec te di: “Kisa ke ou te fè nou la a? Yon moun nan pèp la ta kapab fasilman vin kouche avèk madanm ou, e ou t ap fè nou vin koupab pou peche sa a.”
11 Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."
Konsa, Abimélec te bay tout pèp la lòd, e te di: “Moun ki touche mesye sa a, oswa madanm li, asireman va mete a lanmò.”
12 Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. And God blessed him.
Alò, Isaac te simen nan peyi sa a, e li te rekòlte nan menm ane a san fwa. Senyè a te beni li.
13 The man became wealthy, and prospered more and more until he became very wealthy.
Mesye a te vin rich e li te kontinye vin pi rich jiskaske li te vin ranmase anpil gwo richès.
14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
Li te posede anpil bann mouton, twoupo avèk anpil chan bèt, jiskaske Filisten yo te vin anvi li.
15 Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
Alò, tout pwi ke sèvitè a papa li yo te fouye nan jou Abraham yo, papa li, Filisten yo te bouche lè yo te ranpli yo avèk tè.
16 Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."
Alò, Abimélec te di a Isaac: “Kite nou, paske ou twò fò pou nou.”
17 Isaac departed from there, camped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
Konsa, Isaac te pati la. Li te vin rete nan vale Guérar a, e li te fè anplasman la.
18 Isaac dug again the wells which the servants of his father Abraham had dug. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. And he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Isaac te fouye pwi yo ankò, pwi ki te fouye nan jou papa li yo, Abraham, paske Filisten yo te bouche yo apre mò Abraham nan. Epi li te bay yo menm non ke papa li te bay yo.
19 Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
Men lè sèvitè Isaac yo te fouye nan vale a, e te twouve la yon pwi dlo ki t ap boujonnen,
20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
bèje Guérar yo te goumen avèk bèje Isaac yo e te di: “Dlo a se pa nou!” Alò, li te nonmen pwi a Ések akoz ke yo te fè kont ak li.
21 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.
Yo te fouye yon lòt pwi, yo te goumen sou sila a tou e li te nonmen li Sitna.
22 He left that place, and dug another well. They did not argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now God has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."
Li te deplase la, li te fouye yon lòt pwi, e yo pa t goumen sou li. Li te bay li non a Rehoboth, paske li te di: “Koulye a, Bondye vin bannou plas, e nou va rekòlte anpil fwi nan peyi a.”
23 He went up from there to Beersheba.
Alò, li te kite la pou monte Beer-Schéba.
24 And God appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."
SENYÈ a te parèt a li menm nan nwit lan, e te di: “Mwen se Bondye a papa ou, Abraham. Pa pè, paske Mwen avè w. Mwen va beni ou, e Mwen va fè desandan ou yo miltipliye pou koz a sèvitè Mwen an, Abraham.”
25 He built an altar there, and called on the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac's servants dug a well.
Konsa, li te bati yon lotèl la, li te rele non SENYÈ a, e te monte tant li la. La sèvitè Isaac yo te fouye yon pwi.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the commander of his army.
Alò, Abimélec te vin kote li soti Guérar, avèk konseye li, Ahuzath, avèk Picol, kòmandan lame a.
27 Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"
Isaac te di yo: “Poukisa nou vin kote m, kòmsi nou rayi mwen, e te pouse mwen lwen nou?”
28 They said, "We saw plainly that God was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,
Yo te di: “Nou wè byen klè ke SENYÈ a te avèk ou. Alò, nou te di: ‘Annou fè yon sèman antre nou menm, e kite nou fè yon akò avèk ou,
29 that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.' You are now the blessed of God."
ke ou p ap fè nou okenn mal, menm jan ke nou pa t touche ou, nou pa t fè ou anyen sof ke byen, e w ap voye nou ale anpè.’ Koulye a, ou se beni a SENYÈ a.”
30 He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Alò, li te fè yon gwo fèt manje pou yo, yo te manje e bwè.
31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to each other. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Nan maten, yo te leve bonè. Yo te sèmante a youn lòt, epi Isaac te voye yo ale kite li anpè.
32 It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."
Li te vin rive nan menm jou a, ke sèvitè Isaac yo te antre e te avèti li de yon pwi ke yo te fouye. Yo te di li: “Nou gen tan twouve dlo.”
33 He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
Konsa, li te rele li Schiba, akoz sa yo rele vil la Beer-Schéba jis rive jodi a.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hethite.
Lè Ésaü te gen karant ane, li te marye avèk Judith, fi Béeri a, Etyen an, e Basmath, fi a Elon an, Etyen an.
35 They brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
Yo te mennen traka pou twouble Isaac avèk Rebecca.
