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 Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath 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.
and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;
3 Abraram rele pitit gason Sara te fè pou li a Izarak.
and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him — Isaac;
4 Ti gason an te gen wit jou lè Abraram sikonsi l', jan Bondye te ba li lòd la.
and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
5 Abraram te gen santan sou tèt li lè Izarak, pitit li a, te fèt.
And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being 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 Sarah saith, 'God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for 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.
She saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'
8 Ti gason an grandi, li sevre. Jou yo sevre l' la, Abraram fè yon gwo fèt.
And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being 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 seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to 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.
and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with Isaac.'
11 Pawòl sa a te fè Abraram lapenn anpil, paske Izmayèl te pitit li tou.
And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;
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 saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.
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 to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, 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 riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
15 Lè dlo nan sak la fini, li kite pitit la anba yon touf raje.
and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad 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 goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
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 heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];
18 Leve non, pran ti pitit la, kenbe l'. M'ap fè pitit pitit li yo tounen yon gwo nasyon.
rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
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 openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to 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 is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is 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 dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from 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 cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, 'God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;
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.
and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
24 Abraram reponn. -M' fè sèman.
And Abraham saith, 'I — I do swear.'
25 Men Abraram te fè Abimelèk repwòch pou yon pi li domestik Abimelèk yo te pran pa fòs.
And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently 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 saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'
27 Abraram pran kèk mouton ak kèk bèf li bay Abimelèk. Konsa, yo pase kontra yonn ak lòt.
And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
28 Abraram pran sèt mouton nan bann mouton l' yo, li mete yo sou kote.
and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Abimelèk mande l' -Poukisa ou mete sèt mouton sa yo sou kote.
And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, 'What [are] they — these seven 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 saith, 'For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for 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.
therefore hath he called that place 'Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
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 make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto 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] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;
34 Apre sa, Abraram rete kèk lanne ankò nan peyi Filisti a.
and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
