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 Yhwh visited Sarah as he had said, And Yhwh did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
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 conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 Abraram rele pitit gason Sara te fè pou li a Izarak.
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
4 Ti gason an te gen wit jou lè Abraram sikonsi l', jan Bondye te ba li lòd la.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Abraram te gen santan sou tèt li lè Izarak, pitit li a, te fèt.
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 Sara di konsa. Bondye fè m' bagay ki fè m' ri. tout moun ki tande sa pral ri avè m' tou.
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh 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 would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his 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 Abraham made a great feast the same day that 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 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto 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 said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
11 Pawòl sa a te fè Abraram lapenn anpil, paske Izmayèl te pitit li tou.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of 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.
And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto 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 also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a 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 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer–sheba.
15 Lè dlo nan sak la fini, li kite pitit la anba yon touf raje.
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
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 went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, 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 lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Leve non, pran ti pitit la, kenbe l'. M'ap fè pitit pitit li yo tounen yon gwo nasyon.
Arise, lift up the lad, 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 water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad 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 lad; 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 of Paran: and his mother took 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 it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his army spake unto 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.
Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
24 Abraram reponn. -M' fè sèman.
And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 Men Abraram te fè Abimelèk repwòch pou yon pi li domestik Abimelèk yo te pran pa fòs.
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants 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 said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
27 Abraram pran kèk mouton ak kèk bèf li bay Abimelèk. Konsa, yo pase kontra yonn ak lòt.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
28 Abraram pran sèt mouton nan bann mouton l' yo, li mete yo sou kote.
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Abimelèk mande l' -Poukisa ou mete sèt mouton sa yo sou kote.
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
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 said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
31 Se poutèt sa yo rele anplasman an Bècheba, paske se la menm yo te sèmante yonn bay lòt.
Wherefore he called that place Beer–sheba; because there they sware both of them.
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 they made a covenant at Beer–sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
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 grove in Beer–sheba, and called there on the name of Yhwh, the everlasting God.
34 Apre sa, Abraram rete kèk lanne ankò nan peyi Filisti a.
And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.
