Jenèz 22
1 Apre tout bagay sa yo, Bondye sonde Abraram pou wè sou ki pye li ye avè l'. Bondye rele l' -Abraram! Abraram! Abraram reponn-Men mwen wi!
Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
2 Bondye di l': -Pran Izarak, pitit ou a, sèl pitit gason ou genyen an, pitit ou renmen anpil la. Ale nan peyi Morija, w'a moute sou tèt mòn mwen pral moutre ou la. Lè w'a rive la, w'a touye l'. Apre sa, w'a boule l' nèt pou mwen.
“Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
3 Nan denmen maten, bonè bonè, Abraram leve, li sele bourik li, li pran Izarak ansanm ak de nan domestik li yo. Li fann kèk moso bwa pou l' fè dife pou boule vyann bèt l'ap ofri a. Epi li pati nan direksyon kote Bondye te di l' la.
So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
4 Sou twa jou, Abraram gade, li wè kote a yon bon ti bout devan l'.
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5 Abraram di domestik li yo. -Nou menm, mesye, rete isit la ak bourik la. Mwen menm ak ti gason an, nou pral jouk lòt bò a, pou nou fè sèvis pou Bondye. Apre sa, n'a tounen vin jwenn nou.
“Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”
6 Abraram pran bwa pou fè dife a, li bay Izarak pote li. Li menm, li pote bagay pou limen dife a ansanm ak yon kouto nan men l'. Yo tout de pati ansanm.
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
7 Pandan y'ap mache konsa, Izarak di Abraram: -Papa! Abraram reponn: -Wi, pitit mwen! Izarak mande l': -Mwen wè ou gen dife ak bwa. Men, kote mouton pou boule a?
Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Abraram reponn: -Pitit mwen, se sou kont Bondye sa ye. Yo toude t'ap kontinye mache ansanm.
Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.
9 Lè yo rive kote Bondye te di l' la, Abraram moute yon lotèl, li ranje bwa yo sou li. Li mare Izarak, pitit gason l' lan, li mete l' sou lotèl la, anwo bwa yo.
When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.
10 Apre sa, li lonje men l', li pran kouto a pou l' koupe kou ti gason an.
Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 Men, zanj Bondye a rete nan syèl la, li rele l': -Abraram! Abraram! Abraram reponn. -Men mwen wi!
Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12 Zanj lan di l' -Pa leve men ou sou ti gason an. Pa fè l' anyen. Koulye a mwen konnen ou gen krentif pou Bondye vre, paske ou pa t' derefize touye sèl pitit gason ou lan pou mwen.
“Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”
13 Abraram voye je l', li wè yon belye mouton ki te gen kòn li yo makònen nan yon lyann. li ale, li pran mouton an, li touye l', li boule li nèt sou lotèl la pou Bondye nan plas pitit li a.
Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 Abraram rele kote sa a: Se sou kont Seyè a sa ye. Se poutèt sa, jouk jòdi a, moun ap repete: Sou mòn Seyè a, tout bagay sou kont li.
And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15 Zanj Bondye a rete nan syèl la, li pale ak Abraram yon dezyèm fwa, li di l' konsa:
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
16 -Mwen sèmante sou tèt mwen. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Mwen gen pou m' beni ou anpil poutèt sa ou fè a. Ou pa t' refize ban mwen pitit ou a, sèl pitit gason ou genyen an.
saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,
17 Mwen pwomèt pou m' ba ou anpil pitit pitit. Y'ap tankou zetwal nan syèl la, tankou grenn sab bò lanmè. Y'a bat tout lènmi yo.
I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 Gremesi tout pitit pitit ou yo, tout nasyon sou latè pral jwenn benediksyon. Wi, yo tout, paske ou te fè sa m' te mande ou fè a.
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
19 Abraram tounen bò kote domestik li yo, domestik yo pati ansanm avè l' pou peyi Bècheba, kote Abraram te rete a.
Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
20 Apre tout bagay sa yo, yo vin di Abraram konsa: -Tande non. Milka fè pitit tout wi pou Nak, frè ou la.
Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 Premye pitit la rele Ouz. Apre li, vini Bouz, Kemwèl, papa Aram,
Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22 Kesèd, Azò, Pildach, Jidlaf ak Betwèl.
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Se Betwèl ki papa Rebeka. Se wit gason sa yo Milka te fè pou Nakò, frè Abraram lan.
And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24 Reouma, fanm kay Nakò a te fè pitit tout pou li: se te Tebak, Gam, Tach ak Maka.
Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
