Jenèz 20
1 Abraram kite Manmre, li pati, li ale Negèv, li rete ant Kadès ak Chour kote li moute kay li. Pandan tout tan li t'ap viv nan peyi Gera a,
And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and lived between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
2 li t'ap di se sè li Sara te ye. Se konsa, Abimelèk, wa peyi Gera a, fè yo mennen Sara ba li.
And Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha.
3 Men pandan lannwit, Abimelèk fè yon rèv, li wè Bondye parèt devan li. Bondye di l'. Gade non, monchè. Ou pral mouri tande, paske Sara se yon madan marye.
And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, you die for the woman, whom you have taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.
4 Men, Abimelèk pa t' gen tan kouche avè Sara. Li di. Mèt, èske w'ap kite yon pèp inonsan peri?
But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just nation?
5 Se Abraram ki di m' se sè li Sara ye. Sara pou tèt pa l' di m' se frè li Abraram ye. Mwen fè sa m' fè a san ankenn move lide. Mwen konnen mwen pa fè anyen ki mal.
Said he not to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this.
6 Bondye reponn li nan rèv la. Wi. Mwen konnen ou fè sa ou fè a san ankenn move lide dèyè tèt ou. Se poutèt sa mwen pa kite ou fè peche sa a kont mwen. Mwen pa kite ou fè madanm lan anyen.
And God said to him in sleep, Yes, I knew that you did this with a pure heart, and I spared you, so that you should not sin against me, therefore I suffered you not to touch her.
7 Men sa pou ou fè: renmèt nonm lan madanm li. Se yon pwofèt Bondye li ye. La lapriyè pou ou pou ou pa mouri. Men, si ou pa renmèt li, mwen tout di ou nou pral mouri, ou menm ansanm ak tout fanmi ou.
But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for you, and you shall live; but if you restore her not, know that you shall die and all your.
8 Nan maten, bonè bonè, Abimelèk rele tout domestik li yo, li rakonte yo tout bagay. Yo tout yo te pè anpil.
And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.
9 Lèfini, Abimelèk rele Abraram, li di l'. Kisa ou fè nou konsa? Kisa m' fè ou pou ou ta lakòz yon gwo malè konsa tonbe sou mwen ak sou peyi a? Sa ou fè nou la a, se bagay moun pa gen dwa fè.
And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that you have done to us? Have we sinned against you, that you have brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.
10 Abimelèk di Abraram ankò. Poukisa ou fè sa ou fè a?
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What have you seen in [me] that you have done this?
11 Abraram reponn li. Mwen te di nan kè m' pa gen moun ki gen krentif pou Bondye bò isit la. Mwen tè kwè yo ta ka touye m' poutèt madanm mwen.
And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
12 Men, se vre wi, se sè m' li ye. Nou menm papa, men nou pa menm manman. Epi se madanm mwen li ye tou.
For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife.
13 Se konsa, lè Bondye fè m' kite lakay papa m' pou m' al nan peyi etranje yo, mwen di Sara: m'ap mande ou pou rann mwen yon sèvis? Si ou renmen m' vre, tanpri, kote ou pase, se pou di se frè ou mwen ye.
And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness you shall perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Lè sa a, Abimelèk renmèt Sara bay Abraram. Anmenmtan li ba li mouton, bèf ak domestik, fanm kou gason, pou sèvi l'.
And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maidservants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife.
15 Li di Abraram. Gade! tout peyi m' lan devan ou. Rete kote ki fè ou plezi.
And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before you, dwell wherever it may please you.
16 Epi li di Sara. Mwen bay frè ou la mil (1.000) pyès lajan. Se pou sa ka fè moun ki la avè ou yo bliye sak te rive ou. Konsa, tout moun va konnen ou pa t' fè anyen ki mal.
And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to you for the price of your countenance, and to all the women with you, and speak the truth in all things.
17 Abraram lapriyè pou Abimelèk, epi Bondye geri li. Bondye geri madanm li tout ansanm ak medam k'ap travay lakay li pou yo kapab fè pitit ankò.
And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.
18 Poutèt sa ki te rive Sara, madanm Abraram lan, Seyè a te fè tout fanm lakay Abimelèk pa t' kapab fè pitit.
Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.
