< Jenèz 21 >

1 Seyè a fè Sara favè, jan l' te di l' la. Li fè sa l' te pwomèt li a rive vre.
Nowe the Lord visited Sarah, as he had saide, and did vnto her according as he had promised.
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.
For Sarah conceiued, and bare Abraham a sonne in his olde age, at the same season that God tolde him.
3 Abraram rele pitit gason Sara te fè pou li a Izarak.
And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him, which Sarah bare him, Izhak.
4 Ti gason an te gen wit jou lè Abraram sikonsi l', jan Bondye te ba li lòd la.
Then Abraham circumcised Izhak his sonne, when he was eight dayes olde, as God had commanded him.
5 Abraram te gen santan sou tèt li lè Izarak, pitit li a, te fèt.
So Abraham was an hundreth yeere olde, when his sonne Izhak was borne vnto him.
6 Sara di konsa. Bondye fè m' bagay ki fè m' ri. tout moun ki tande sa pral ri avè m' tou.
Then Sarah said, God hath made me to reioyce: all that heare will reioyce 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.
Againe she said, Who would haue saide to Abraham, that Sarah shoulde haue giuen children sucke? for I haue borne him a sonne in his olde age.
8 Ti gason an grandi, li sevre. Jou yo sevre l' la, Abraram fè yon gwo fèt.
Then the childe grewe and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Izhak 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 Sarah sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian (which she had borne vnto Abraham) mocking.
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.
Wherefore she saide vnto Abraham, Cast out this bond woman and her sonne: for ye sonne of this bonde woman shall not be heire with my sonne Izhak.
11 Pawòl sa a te fè Abraram lapenn anpil, paske Izmayèl te pitit li tou.
And this thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne.
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 vnto Abraham, Let it not be grieuous in thy sight for the childe, and for thy bonde woman: in all that Sarah shall say vnto thee, heare her voyce: for in Izhak shall thy seede 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.
As for the sonne of the bond woman, I will make him a nation also, because he is thy seede.
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.
So Abraham arose vp early in ye morning, and tooke bread, and a bottell of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the childe also, and sent her away: who departing wandred in the wildernesse of Beer-sheba.
15 Lè dlo nan sak la fini, li kite pitit la anba yon touf raje.
And when the water of the bottell was spent, she cast the childe vnder a certaine 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.
Then she went and sate her ouer against him a farre off about a bowe shoote: for she said, I will not see the death of the child. and she sate downe ouer against him, and lift vp her voyce 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.
Then God heard the voyce of ye childe, and the Angel of God called to Hagar from heauen, and said vnto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? feare not, for God hath heard the voyce of the childe where he is.
18 Leve non, pran ti pitit la, kenbe l'. M'ap fè pitit pitit li yo tounen yon gwo nasyon.
Arise, take vp the childe, and holde him in thine hand: for I will make of him a great people.
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 sawe a well of water. so she went and filled the bottell with water, and gaue the boy drinke.
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.
So God was with the childe, and he grewe and dwelt in the wildernesse, and was 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 wildernesse of Paran, and his mother tooke him a wife out of the land 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 at that same time Abimelech and Phichol his chief captaine spake vnto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
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.
Nowe therefore sweare vnto me here by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my children, nor my childrens children: thou shalt deale with me, and with the countrey, where thou hast bene a stranger, according vnto the kindnesse that I haue shewed thee.
24 Abraram reponn. -M' fè sèman.
Then Abraham said, I will sweare.
25 Men Abraram te fè Abimelèk repwòch pou yon pi li domestik Abimelèk yo te pran pa fòs.
And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelechs seruants had violently taken 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 saide, I knowe not who hath done this thing: also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it but this day.
27 Abraram pran kèk mouton ak kèk bèf li bay Abimelèk. Konsa, yo pase kontra yonn ak lòt.
Then Abraham tooke sheepe and beeues, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and they two made a couenant.
28 Abraram pran sèt mouton nan bann mouton l' yo, li mete yo sou kote.
And Abraham set seuen lambes of the flocke by themselues.
29 Abimelèk mande l' -Poukisa ou mete sèt mouton sa yo sou kote.
Then Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What meane these seuen lambes, which thou hast set by themselues?
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 he answered, Because thou shalt receiue of mine hand these seuen lambes, that it may be a witnes vnto me, that I haue digged this well.
31 Se poutèt sa yo rele anplasman an Bècheba, paske se la menm yo te sèmante yonn bay lòt.
Wherefore the place is called Beer-sheba, because there they both sware.
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.
Thus made they a couenant at Beer-sheba: afterward Abimelech and Phichol his chiefe captaine rose vp, and turned againe vnto the land of the Philistims.
33 Se la Bècheba Abraram plante yon pye tonmaren. Lèfini li fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye ki la pou tout tan an.
And Abraham planted a groue in Beer-sheba, and called there on the Name of ye Lord, the euerlasting God.
34 Apre sa, Abraram rete kèk lanne ankò nan peyi Filisti a.
And Abraham was a stranger in the Philistims land a long season.
