Genesis 16
1 Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar.
Alò, Saraï, madanm Abram nan pa t bay li pitit. Li te gen yon sèvant Ejipsyen ki te rele Agar.
2 [So one day] Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So (sleep with/have sex with) [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said.
Konsa, Saraï te di Abram: “Alò, gade byen, SENYÈ a te anpeche m fè pitit. Souple, al jwenn sèvant mwen an. Petèt mwen kapab vin gen pitit pa li menm.” Epi Abram te koute vwa a Saraï.
3 So Abram (slept with/had sex with) Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan [land]. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife.
Apre Abram te viv dis lane nan peyi Canaan, madanm Abram nan, Saraï te pran Agar, sèvant Ejipsyen li an, e te bay li a mari li Abram kòm madanm li.
4 He (slept with/had sex with) [EUP] Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress Sarai.
Li te al jwenn Agar, li te vin ansent, epi lè l te wè ke li te ansent, mètrès li a te vin meprize nan zye li.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to me!”
Konsa, Saraï te di Abram: “Se ou ki gen tò nan bagay sa a. Mwen te bay sèvant mwen an pou li antre nan bra ou, e lè l te wè ke li te vin ansent, mwen te vin meprize nan zye li. Ke SENYÈ a jije antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
6 So Abram said to Sarai, “[You listen to me]! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai.
Men Abram te di a Saraï: “Gade byen, sèvant ou anba pouvwa ou. Fè sa ke ou wè ki bon nan zye ou avèk li.” Pou sa, Saraï te rèd avèk li, e li te pran sove ale kite prezans li.
7 An angel of Yahweh found her as she was near a spring of water in the desert. It was the spring that was alongside the road to Shur.
Alò zanj lan te twouve li akote yon sous dlo nan savann nan, vè sous la nan wout chemen ki ale Schur la.
8 He said to her, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I have run away from Sarai, my mistress.”
Li te di a Agar, sèvant Saraï a, “Kibò ou sòti, e kibò ou prale?” Epi li te di: “M ap sove ale kite prezans mètrès mwen an, Saraï.”
9 The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
Epi zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Retounen bò kote mètrès ou, e soumèt ou anba otorite l.”
10 The angel also said to her, “I will enable you to bear so many descendants that no one will be able to count them!”
Plis ke sa, zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Mwen va miltipliye desandan ou yo anpil pou yo vin twòp pou konte.”
11 The angel also said to her, “[Listen to this!] You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, [which means ‘God hears]’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.
Zanj SENYÈ a te di li anplis: “Byen gade, ou ansent, e ou va fè yon fis. Epi ou va rele non li Ismaël ki vle di Bondye tande, akoz SENYÈ a te okipe afliksyon ou yo.
12 But your son will be as uncontrollable as a wild donkey [MET]. He will oppose everyone, and everyone will oppose him [MTY]. He will live far away from his relatives [SYN].”
Li va yon nonm tankou bourik mawon. Men li va kont tout moun, e men a tout moun va kont li. Epi li va viv yon jan ki kont tout frè li yo.”
13 Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “(It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?)” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’.
Epi li te rele non SENYÈ a ki te pale avèk li: “Ou se yon Bondye ki wè a”, paske li te di: “Èske m ap vrèman rete vivan isit lè m fin wè Li”?
14 That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, [which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’!] It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
Pou sa, pwi a te rele Lachaï-roi. Gade byen, li la antre Kadès ak Bared.
15 So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
Alò, Agar te fè yon fis pou Abram. E Abram te rele fis li a, ke Agar te fè a, Ismaël.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
Abram te gen katre-ven-sis ane lè Agar te fè Ismaël pou li a.
