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!
And it came to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, —and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
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.
And he said—Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou lovest, even, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah and cause him to ascend there as an ascending-sacrifice, on one of the mountains which I shall name unto thee.
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 rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the pieces of wood for an ascending-sacrifice, and mounted and went his way unto the place which God had named to him.
4 Sou twa jou, Abraram gade, li wè kote a yon bon ti bout devan l'.
It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
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.
And Abraham said unto his young men—Tarry by yourselves here with the ass, but I and the young man must go yonder, —that we may bow ourselves down and return unto 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.
So Abraham took the pieces of wood for the ascending-sacrifice, and laid them on Isaac his son, and took in his own hand the fire and the knife, and they went on their way, both of them 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 said Isaac unto Abraham his father, then said he; My father! And he said, Behold me, my son, And he said, Behold the fire, and the pieces of wood, —but where is the lamb, for an ascending-sacrifice?
8 Abraram reponn: -Pitit mwen, se sou kont Bondye sa ye. Yo toude t'ap kontinye mache ansanm.
And Abraham said, God, will provide for himself the lamb for an ascending-sacrifice, my son! So they went on their way, both of them, 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.
Then came they into the place which God had named to him, and Abraham built there the altar, and laid in order the pieces of wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, above the pieces of wood.
10 Apre sa, li lonje men l', li pran kouto a pou l' koupe kou ti gason an.
And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife, —to slay his son.
11 Men, zanj Bondye a rete nan syèl la, li rele l': -Abraram! Abraram! Abraram reponn. -Men mwen wi!
Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
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.
Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to him—anything at all, —for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, 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.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! a ram, behind, caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went, and took the ram, and caused him to ascend as an ascending-sacrifice instead 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.
So Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-yireh, —as to which it is still said to-day, In the mountain of Yahweh, will provision be made.
15 Zanj Bondye a rete nan syèl la, li pale ak Abraram yon dezyèm fwa, li di l' konsa:
Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
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.
and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh, —Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one,
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.
That I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea, —that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes:
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.
So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
19 Abraram tounen bò kote domestik li yo, domestik yo pati ansanm avè l' pou peyi Bècheba, kote Abraram te rete a.
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they mounted, and went on their way together unto Beer-sheba, —and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
20 Apre tout bagay sa yo, yo vin di Abraram konsa: -Tande non. Milka fè pitit tout wi pou Nak, frè ou la.
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, —Behold! Milcah—she also, hath borne sons, to Nahor thy brother:
21 Premye pitit la rele Ouz. Apre li, vini Bouz, Kemwèl, papa Aram,
Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —and Kemuel, father of Aram—
22 Kesèd, Azò, Pildach, Jidlaf ak Betwèl.
and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, —and Bethuel;
23 Se Betwèl ki papa Rebeka. Se wit gason sa yo Milka te fè pou Nakò, frè Abraram lan.
And, Bethuel, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
24 Reouma, fanm kay Nakò a te fè pitit tout pou li: se te Tebak, Gam, Tach ak Maka.
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
