Jenèz 15
1 Apre bagay sa yo, Abram fè yon vizyon. Li wè Seyè a ki t'ap pale avè l'. Seyè a di l' konsa. Abram, ou pa bezwen pè anyen. Se mwen menm k'ap pwoteje ou. M' sere yon gwo gwo rekonpans pou ou.
After these things, the worde of the Lord came vnto Abram in a vision, saying, Feare not, Abram, I am thy buckler, and thine exceeding great reward.
2 Abram di. Seyè, Bondye, kisa ou vle ban mwen? Mwen tout fin mouri, mwen pa gen pitit. Sèl moun lakay mwen ki pral eritye m', se Elyezè, moun peyi Damas la.
And Abram said, O Lord God, what wilt thou giue me, seeing I goe childlesse, and the steward of mine house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3 Abram di ankò. Gade! Ou pa ban m' pitit. Se yonn nan domestik mwen yo ki pral eritye m'.
Againe Abram saide, Beholde, to me thou hast giuen no seede: wherefore loe, a seruant of mine house shalbe mine heire.
4 Lè sa a, li tande Seyè a ki di l' konsa. Non, se pa li menm ki pral eritye ou. Se pwòp pitit zantray ou ki pral eritye ou.
Then beholde, the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heire, but one that shall come out of thine owne bowels, he shalbe thine heire.
5 Seyè a fè Abram soti deyò, li di l' konsa Leve je ou, gade syèl la byen. Konte zetwal yo si ou kapab. Apre sa, li di. Pitit pitit ou yo va anpil tankou zetwal nan syèl la.
Moreouer he brought him forth and said, Looke vp nowe vnto heauen, and tell ye starres, if thou be able to number them: and he said vnto him, So shall thy seede be.
6 Abram mete konfyans li nan Seyè a, se konsa Seyè a fè l' gras.
And Abram beleeued the Lord, and he counted that to him for righteousnesse.
7 Seyè a di. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te fè ou soti lavil Our nan peyi Kalde a, pou m' te ka ba ou peyi sa a pou ou.
Againe he saide vnto him, I am the Lord, that brought thee out of Vr of the Caldees, to giue thee this land to inherite it.
8 Abram di. Seyè, Bondye, kijan pou m' fè konnen peyi sa a pou mwen vre?
And he said, O Lord God, whereby shall I knowe that I shall inherite it?
9 Seyè a di l'. Pran yon ti gazèl bèf twazan, yon fenmèl kabrit twazan, yon belye twazan, yon toutrèl ak yon jenn pijon.
Then he said vnto him, Take me an heifer of three yeeres olde, and a shee goate of three yeeres olde, and a ramme of three yeeres olde, a turtle doue also and a pigeon.
10 Abram al pran tout bèt sa yo, li koupe yo mitan pou mitan, li mete moso yo yonn anfas lòt. Men, li pa koupe zwazo yo an de.
So he tooke all these vnto him, and deuided them into the middes, and laid euery piece one against an other: but the birdes deuided he not.
11 Chak fwa malfini karanklou vin pou desann sou vyann bèt yo, Abram pouse yo ale.
Then foules fell on the carkases, and Abram droue them away.
12 Solèy tapral kouche lè dòmi vòlè Abram. Li dòmi nèt ale. Epi yon sèl lapèz pran l' nan dòmi an. Kote l' te ye a vin fè tout nwa.
And when the sunne went downe, there fell an heauie sleepe vpon Abram: and loe, a very fearefull darkenes fell vpon him.
13 Seyè a di l'. Konnen sa byen: Pitit pitit ou yo pral viv tankou etranje nan yon peyi ki pa pou yo. Y'ap fè yo tounen esklav, y'ap peze yo pandan katsanzan (400 an).
Then he saide to Abram, Knowe for a suretie, that thy seede shalbe a stranger in a land, that is not theirs, foure hundreth yeeres, and shall serue them: and they shall intreate them euill.
14 Men, apre sa, m'ap pini nasyon ki va pran yo fè esklav la. Konsa, lè lè a va rive pou yo kite peyi sa a, y'a soti avèk anpil anpil richès.
Notwithstanding the nation, whom they shall serue, will I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 Kanta ou menm, ou pral mouri ak kè poze, ou pral jwenn zansèt ou yo ki mouri deja. Wi, anvan ou antre anba tè, wa viv lontan san ankenn pwoblèm.
But thou shalt goe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
16 Apre kat jenerasyon, pitit pitit ou yo va tounen isit la, paske se pou nou tann moun Amori yo rive nan dènye bout mechanste yo.
And in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the wickednes of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 Apre solèy fin kouche, te fè nwa anpil. Epi men li, yon recho ki t'ap fè lafimen ansanm ak yon gwo bwa dife tout limen parèt. Yo pase nan mitan moso vyann bèt yo.
Also when the sunne went downe, there was a darkenes: and behold, a smoking fornace, and a firebrand, which went betweene those pieces.
18 Se jou sa a Seyè a te pase kontra avèk Abram. Li di l' konsa M'ap bay pitit pitit ou yo tout peyi sa a, depi larivyè Lejip, rive jouk larivyè Lefrat la.
In that same day the Lord made a couenant with Abram, saying, Vnto thy seede haue I giuen this lande, from the riuer of Egypt vnto the great riuer, the riuer Euphrates.
19 Sa vle di tout peyi kote moun Keni yo, moun Kenizi yo, moun Kadmon yo,
The Kenites, and the Kenizites, and the Kadmonites,
20 moun Et yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun refayim yo,
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 moun Amori yo, moun Kanaran yo, moun Gigach yo ak moun Jebis yo rete.
The Amorites also, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Iebusites.
