Jenèz 21
1 Seyè a fè Sara favè, jan l' te di l' la. Li fè sa l' te pwomèt li a rive vre.
And the Lord visited Sarrha, as he said, and the Lord did to Sarrha, as he spoke.
2 Sara vin ansent. Atout li te fin vye granmoun lan, li fè yon pitit gason pou Abraram, nan dat Bondye te di l' la.
And she conceived and bore to Abraam a son in old age, at the set time according as the Lord spoke to him.
3 Abraram rele pitit gason Sara te fè pou li a Izarak.
And Abraam called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarrha bore to him, Isaac.
4 Ti gason an te gen wit jou lè Abraram sikonsi l', jan Bondye te ba li lòd la.
And Abraam circumcised Isaac on the eighth day, as God commanded him.
5 Abraram te gen santan sou tèt li lè Izarak, pitit li a, te fèt.
And Abraam was a hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him.
6 Sara di konsa. Bondye fè m' bagay ki fè m' ri. tout moun ki tande sa pral ri avè m' tou.
And Sarrha said, The Lord has made laughter for me, for whoever shall hear shall rejoice with me.
7 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.
And she said, Who shall say to Abraam that Sarrha suckles a child? for I have born a child in my old age.
8 Ti gason an grandi, li sevre. Jou yo sevre l' la, Abraram fè yon gwo fèt.
And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraam made a great feast the day that his son Isaac was weaned.
9 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.
And Sarrha having seen the son of Agar the Egyptian who was born to Abraam, sporting with Isaac her son,
10 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.
then she said to Abraam, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not inherit with my son Isaac.
11 Pawòl sa a te fè Abraram lapenn anpil, paske Izmayèl te pitit li tou.
But the word appeared very hard before Abraam concerning his son.
12 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.
But God said to Abraam, Let it not be hard before thee concerning the child, and concerning the bondwoman; in all things whatsoever Sarrha shall say to thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 M'ap bay pitit sèvant lan anpil pitit pitit. M'ap fè l' tounen yon nasyon, paske se pitit ou li ye tou.
And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
14 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.
And Abraam rose up in the morning and took loaves and a skin of water, and gave [them] to Agar, and he put the child on her shoulder, and sent her away, and she having departed wandered in the wilderness near the well of the oath.
15 Lè dlo nan sak la fini, li kite pitit la anba yon touf raje.
And the water failed out of the skin, and she cast the child under a fir tree.
16 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.
And she departed and sat down opposite him at a distance, as it were a bow-shot, for she said, Surely I cannot see the death of my child: and she sat opposite him, and the child cried aloud and wept.
17 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.
And God heard the voice of the child from the place where he was, and an angel of God called Agar out of heaven, and said to her, What is it, Agar? fear not, for God has heard the voice of the child from the place where he is.
18 Leve non, pran ti pitit la, kenbe l'. M'ap fè pitit pitit li yo tounen yon gwo nasyon.
Rise up, and take the child, and hold him in thine hand, for I will make him a great nation.
19 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'.
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of springing water; and she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the child drink.
20 Bondye te avèk ti pitit la. Li grandi, li rete nan dezè a. Li te rive konn tire flèch nan banza ak anpil ladrès.
And God was with the child, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 Se nan dezè Paran li te rete. Manman l' te chwazi yon madanm pou li nan jenn fi peyi Lejip yo.
And he dwelt in the wilderness, and his mother took him a wife out of Pharan of Egypt.
22 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.
And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke, and Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, to Abraam, saying, God is with thee in all things, whatsoever thou mayest do.
23 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.
Now therefore swear to me by God that thou wilt not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name, but according to the righteousness which I have performed with thee thou shalt deal with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.
24 Abraram reponn. -M' fè sèman.
And Abraam said, I will swear.
25 Men Abraram te fè Abimelèk repwòch pou yon pi li domestik Abimelèk yo te pran pa fòs.
And Abraam reproved Abimelech because of the wells of water, which the servants of Abimelech took away.
26 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.
And Abimelech said to him, I know not who has done this thing to thee, neither didst thou tell it me, neither heard I it but only to-day.
27 Abraram pran kèk mouton ak kèk bèf li bay Abimelèk. Konsa, yo pase kontra yonn ak lòt.
And Abraam took sheep and calves, and gave them to Abimelech, and both made a covenant.
28 Abraram pran sèt mouton nan bann mouton l' yo, li mete yo sou kote.
And Abraam set seven ewe-lambs by themselves.
29 Abimelèk mande l' -Poukisa ou mete sèt mouton sa yo sou kote.
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What are these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set alone?
30 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.
And Abraam said, Thou shalt receive the seven ewe-lambs of me, that they may be for me as a witness, that I dug this well.
31 Se poutèt sa yo rele anplasman an Bècheba, paske se la menm yo te sèmante yonn bay lòt.
Therefore he named the name of that place, The Well of the Oath, for there they both swore.
32 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.
And they made a covenant at the well of the oath. And there rose up Abimelech, Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army, and they returned to the land of the Phylistines.
33 Se la Bècheba Abraram plante yon pye tonmaren. Lèfini li fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye ki la pou tout tan an.
And Abraam planted a field at the well of the oath, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
34 Apre sa, Abraram rete kèk lanne ankò nan peyi Filisti a.
And Abraam sojourned in the land of the Phylistines many days.
