Jenèz 26
1 Te vin gen yon lòt grangou nan peyi a, pi rèd pase sa ki te tonbe sou peyi a nan tan Abraram lan. Lè sa a, Izarak ale yon kote yo rele Gera kay Abimelèk, wa moun Filisti yo.
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines to Gerar.
2 Izarak fè yon vizyon, li wè Seyè a parèt devan l'. Seyè a di l': -Pa desann nan peyi Lejip, rete kote m'ap di ou rete a.
And the LORD appeared to him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell you of:
3 W'a pase kèk tan nan peyi sa a. M'ap avè ou, m'ap beni ou, paske mwen pral ba ou tout tè sa a pou ou menm ak pou tout ras ou. m'a kenbe sèman mwen te fè bay Abraram, papa ou.
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you, and to your seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father;
4 M'ap ba ou anpil anpil pitit tankou zetwal nan syèl la. M'ap ba yo tout tè sa yo. Gremesi pitit pitit ou yo, tout nasyon sou latè pral jwenn benediksyon.
And I will make your seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give to your seed all these countries; and in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 tout sa, paske Abraram te tande m' lè m' te pale avè l', li te swiv tout lòd mwen yo ak tout kòmandman mwen yo. Li te fè tout sa mwen mande l', li te obeyi tout lwa mwen yo.
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 Se konsa Izarak rete kote yo rele Gera a.
And Isaac dwelled in Gerar:
7 Lè mesye ki te rete nan peyi a mande l' kisa madanm li ye pou li, li reponn yo se sè l' li ye, paske li te pè di se madanm li Rebeka te ye pou mesye yo pa t' touye l' pou yo te ka pran Rebeka ki te bèl anpil.
And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look on.
8 Izarak te gen kèk tan depi l' te rete la. Yon jou, Abimelek, wa moun Filisti yo, t'ap gade nan fennèt li, li te wè Izarak ki t'ap pase men sou Rebeka, madanm li.
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
9 Lè sa a, Abimelèk voye chache Izarak. Li di l' konsa: -Gade non, monchè, se madanm ou li ye! Poukisa ou di se sè ou li ye! Izarak reponn li: -Mwen te di sa paske mwen te kwè yo ta ka touye m', si m' te di se madanm mwen li ye.
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is your wife; and how said you, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
10 Abimelèk di l': -Kisa ou fè nou konsa? Yonn nan mesye nou yo ta ka byen rive kouche avèk madanm ou! Se ou ki ta lakòz nou fè peche sa a.
And Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us? one of the people might lightly have lien with your wife, and you should have brought guiltiness on us.
11 Se konsa Abimelèk pase lòd sa a bay tout pèp la: -Si yon moun manyen nonm sa a, osinon madanm li, y'ap touye l'.
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Izarak fè jaden nan peyi a. Lè lanne a bout, li rekòlte san fwa valè sa l' te plante a, paske Seyè a te beni l'.
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundred times: and the LORD blessed him.
13 Msye te vin rich. Li t'ap fè lajan toujou, jouk li rive vin rich anpil anpil.
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 Li te gen kantite kabrit, mouton ak bèf, ak anpil moun ki t'ap sèvi l'. Sa te fè moun Filisti yo rayi sò li.
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15 Se konsa yo konble tout pi domestik Abraram yo te fouye sou tan Abraram, papa Izarak. Yo plen yo tè.
For all the wells which his father’s servants had dig in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 Lèfini, Abimelèk di Izarak: -Pati, al fè wout ou! Ou pi grannèg pase nou.
And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for you are much mightier than we.
17 Se konsa Izarak pati kite kote l' te ye a, li ale nan Fon Gera a. Se la li moute kay li pou l' rete.
And Isaac departed there, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelled there.
18 Li fè refouye tout pi dlo yo te fouye sou tan Abraram, papa l'. Se pi sa yo moun Filisti yo te bouche apre lanmò Abraram. Izarak ba yo menm non papa l' te ba yo a.
And Isaac dig again the wells of water, which they had dig in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 Domestik Izarak yo te fouye ankò nan fon an. Yo te jwenn yon sous dlo k'ap ponpe.
And Isaac’s servants dig in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
20 Men, gadò mouton peyi Gera yo leve yon sèl kont avèk gadò mouton Izarak yo. Yo t'ap di: -Dlo sa a, se pou nou li ye. Se konsa Izarak rele pi a Pi dezagreman paske yo te chache l' dezagreman pou dlo a.
And the herdsmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
21 Domestik Izarak yo fouye yon lòt pi ki te lakòz yo chache yo kont ankò. Se konsa Izarak rele pi a Pi ki fè lènmi.
And they dig another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 Lè l' wè sa, li wete kò l' kote l' te ye a, li fouye yon lòt pi pou sa pa t' fè kont. Se poutèt sa li rele pi a Pi ki pa nan kont. Li di: -Koulye a Seyè a ban nou kont espas nan peyi a pou nou pa nan kont. Se atò zafè nou pral mache nan peyi a.
And he removed from there, and dig another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 Izarak pati, li moute Bècheba.
And he went up from there to Beersheba.
24 Menm jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit, Seyè a parèt nan yon vizyon, li di Izarak konsa: -Mwen se Bondye Abraram, papa ou. Ou pa bezwen pè anyen, paske mwen la avèk ou. M'ap beni ou, m'ap ba ou anpil pitit pitit, poutèt Abraram, sèvitè m' lan.
And the LORD appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham your father: fear not, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
25 Izarak bati yon lotèl la, li fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Li moute kay li la. Domestik li yo fouye yon lòt pi.
And he built an altar there, and called on the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants dig a well.
26 Abimelèk soti Gera, li vin wè Izarak. Li te gen avè l' Akouzat, yon bon zanmi l', ak Pikòl, kòmandan lame li a.
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
27 Izarak mande yo: -Poukisa nou vin wè m' koulye a? Jan nou te rayi m' sa a jouk nou te rive mete m' deyò nan peyi nou an!
And Isaac said to them, Why come you to me, seeing you hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28 Yo reponn li: -Koulye a nou konnen Seyè a avèk ou. Se poutèt sa nou di n'ap fè yon kontra avè ou, n'ap sèmante yonn bay lòt.
And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with you: and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you;
29 W'ap sèmante ou p'ap janm fè nou anyen, menm jan nou pa t' janm fè ou anyen. W'ap sèmante nou te toujou aji byen avè ou. Nou kite ou ale san bri san kont. Koulye a, ou gen benediksyon Bondye sou ou.
That you will do us no hurt, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace: you are now the blessed of the LORD.
30 Izarak fè gwo fèt pou yo. Yo manje, yo bwè.
And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
31 Nan granmaten, yo leve, yo sèmante yonn bay lòt. Apre sa, moun Filisti yo di Izarak orevwa. Yo separe tankou de bon zanmi, epi y al fè wout yo.
And they rose up betimes in the morning, and swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32 Menm jou sa a, domestik Izarak yo vin ba l' nouvèl pi yo t'ap fouye a. Yo di l': -Nou jwenn dlo.
And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dig, and said to him, We have found water.
33 Izarak rele pi a Chibeya. Se poutèt sa, jouk jòdi a, yo rele lavil la Bècheba.
And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
34 Ezaou te gen karantan lè l' marye ak Jidit, pitit fi Beri, yon moun Et. Li te gen yon lòt madanm tout yo te rele Basmat, pitit fi Elon, yon moun Et tou.
And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
35 Medam sa yo te rann Izarak ak Rebeka lavi minab.
Which were a grief of mind to Isaac and to Rebekah.
