Jenèz 15
1 Apre bagay sa yo, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Abram nan yon vizyon. Li te di: “Pa pè, Abram, Mwen se yon pwotèj pou ou. Rekonpans ou va gran.”
And so whanne these thingis weren don, the word of the Lord was maad to Abram bi a visioun, and seide, Abram, nyle thou drede, Y am thi defender, and thi meede is ful greet.
2 Abram te di: “O Senyè BONDYE, kisa ou va ban mwen, akoz ke m san pitit, e eritye lakay mwen se Eliézer a Danmas?”
And Abram seide, Lord God, what schalt thou yyue to me? Y schal go with oute fre children, and this Damask, sone of Elieser, the procuratour of myn hous, schal be myn eir.
3 Epi Abram te di: “Akoz ke ou pa t ban m pitit pou swiv mwen, pitit ki fèt nan kay mwen an se eritye mwen.”
And Abram addide, Sotheli thou hast not youe seed to me, and, lo! my borun seruaunt schal be myn eir.
4 Alò, gade byen, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote li. Li te di l: “Se pa nonm sa k ap eritye ou, men youn ki va sòti nan pwòp kò ou, se li ki va eritye ou.”
And anoon the word of the Lord was maad to hym, and seide, This schal not be thin eir, but thou schalt haue hym eir, that schal go out of thi wombe.
5 Konsa, li te mennen li deyò, e te di: “Koulye a, gade vè syèl yo, e kontwole zetwal yo, si ou kapab kontwole yo.” Epi Li te di li: “Se konsa desandan w ap ye.”
And the Lord ledde out Abram, and seide to hym, Biholde thou heuene, and noumbre thou sterris, if thou maist. And the Lord seide to Abram, So thi seed schal be.
6 Li te kwè nan SENYÈ a, e SENYÈ a konsa, te konsidere sa kòm ladwati li.
Abram bileuede to God, and it was arettid to hym to riytfulnesse.
7 Li te di Abram: “Mwen se SENYÈ a ki te mennen ou sòti nan Ur a Kaldeyen yo, pou bay ou peyi sa a pou posede li.”
And God seide to hym, Y am the Lord, that ladde thee out of Vr of Caldeis, that Y schulde yyue this lond to thee, and thou schuldist haue it in possessioun.
8 Abram te di: “O Senyè BONDYE, kijan mwen kapab konnen ke m ap genyen l vrè?”
And Abram seide, Lord God, wherbi may I wite that Y schal welde it?
9 Alò li te di li: “Pote ban mwen yon gazèl twazan, yon femèl kabrit twzan, yon mal mouton nan twzan, yon toutrèl, avèk yon jenn pijon.”
And the Lord answerde, and seide, Take thou to me a cow of thre yeer, and a geet of thre yeer, and a ram of thre yeer, a turtle also, and a culuer.
10 Li te pote bay li tout sa yo, e li te koupe yo an de moso. Li te poze mwatye yo chak fasafas ak lòt, men li pa t koupe zwazo yo.
Which took alle these thingis, and departide tho bi the myddis, and settide euer eithir partis ech ayens other; but he departide not the briddis.
11 Zwazo ki manje vyann yo te desann sou kò bèt yo, e Abram te chase yo ale.
And foulis camen doun on the careyns, and Abram drof hem awey.
12 Alò, lè solèy la t ap desann, yon gran rèv te tonbe sou Abram. Epi gade byen, yon gwo tenèb ak gran perèz te vin tonbe sou li.
And whanne the sunne was gon doun, drede felde on Abram, and a greet hidousenesse and derk asaylide him.
13 Bondye te di Abram: “Konnen byen si ke desandan ou yo va etranje nan yon peyi ki pa pou yo, kote yo va vin esklav, e va oprime pandan kat-san ane.
And it was seid to hym, Wite thou bifore knowinge, that thi seed schal be pilgrim foure hundrid yeer in a lond not his owne, and thei schulen make hem suget to seruage, and thei schulen turment hem;
14 Men mwen va osi jije nasyon ke yo va sèvi a, e apre yo va sòti deyò avèk anpil byen.
netheles Y schal deme the folk to whom thei schulen serue; and aftir these thingis thei schulen go out with greet catel.
15 Men pou ou menm, ou va ale vè zansèt ou yo anpè. Ou va antere nan yon laj byen avanse.
Forsothe thou schalt go to thi fadris in pees, and schalt be biried in good age.
16 Alò, nan katriyèm jenerasyon yo va retounen isit la, paske inikite Amoreyen yo poko fini.”
Sotheli in the fourthe generacioun thei schulen turne ayen hidir, for the wickidnesses of Amoreis ben not yit fillid, `til to present tyme.
17 Li vin rive ke lè solèy la te fin desann, ke li te fènwa anpil, e gade byen, te parèt yon tòch k ap fè lafimen avèk yon flanbo te pase antre mòso sa yo.
Therfor whanne the sunne was gon doun, a derk myst was maad, and a furneis smokynge apperide, and a laumpe of fier, and passide thorou tho departingis.
18 Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a te fè yon akò avèk Abram. Li te di: “A desandan ou yo, Mwen va bay peyi sa a, depi nan larivyè Égypte la, jis rive nan gran rivyè a, larivyè Euphrate,
In that dai the Lord made a couenaunt of pees with Abram, and seide, Y schal yyue to thi seed this lond, fro the ryuer of Egipt til to the greet ryuer Eufrates; Cyneis,
19 peyi a Kenyen yo, Kenizyen yo, Kadmonyen yo,
and Cyneseis, and Cethmoneis, and Etheis,
20 Itit yo, Ferezyen yo, Rephaïm yo,
and Fereseis, and Raphaym, and Amorreis,
21 Amoreyen yo, Kanaaneyen yo, Gigachyen yo, avèk Jebisyen yo.”
and Cananeis, and Gergeseis, and Jebuseis.
