Jenèz 16
1 Alò, Saraï, madanm Abram nan pa t bay li pitit. Li te gen yon sèvant Ejipsyen ki te rele Agar.
Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had not borne any children for him, but she had a female servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 Konsa, Saraï te di Abram: “Alò, gade byen, SENYÈ a te anpeche m fè pitit. Souple, al jwenn sèvant mwen an. Petèt mwen kapab vin gen pitit pa li menm.” Epi Abram te koute vwa a Saraï.
So Sarai said to Abram, “See, Yahweh has kept me from having children. Go sleep with my servant. It may be that I will have children by her.” Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
3 Apre Abram te viv dis lane nan peyi Canaan, madanm Abram nan, Saraï te pran Agar, sèvant Ejipsyen li an, e te bay li a mari li Abram kòm madanm li.
It was after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan that Sarai, Abram's wife, gave Hagar, her Egyptian servant, to her husband as a wife.
4 Li te al jwenn Agar, li te vin ansent, epi lè l te wè ke li te ansent, mètrès li a te vin meprize nan zye li.
So he had relations with Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.
5 Konsa, Saraï te di Abram: “Se ou ki gen tò nan bagay sa a. Mwen te bay sèvant mwen an pou li antre nan bra ou, e lè l te wè ke li te vin ansent, mwen te vin meprize nan zye li. Ke SENYÈ a jije antre ou menm avèk mwen.”
Then Sarai said to Abram, “This wrong on me is because of you. I gave my servant woman into your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Let Yahweh judge between me and you.”
6 Men Abram te di a Saraï: “Gade byen, sèvant ou anba pouvwa ou. Fè sa ke ou wè ki bon nan zye ou avèk li.” Pou sa, Saraï te rèd avèk li, e li te pran sove ale kite prezans li.
But Abram said to Sarai, “See here, your servant woman is in your power, do to her what you think best.” So Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.
7 Alò zanj lan te twouve li akote yon sous dlo nan savann nan, vè sous la nan wout chemen ki ale Schur la.
The angel of Yahweh found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring that is on the way to Shur.
8 Li te di a Agar, sèvant Saraï a, “Kibò ou sòti, e kibò ou prale?” Epi li te di: “M ap sove ale kite prezans mètrès mwen an, Saraï.”
He said, “Hagar, Sarai's servant, where did you come from and where are you going?” Then she said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai.”
9 Epi zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Retounen bò kote mètrès ou, e soumèt ou anba otorite l.”
The angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority.”
10 Plis ke sa, zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Mwen va miltipliye desandan ou yo anpil pou yo vin twòp pou konte.”
Then the angel of Yahweh said to her, “I will greatly multiply your descendants, so that they will be too numerous to count.”
11 Zanj SENYÈ a te di li anplis: “Byen gade, ou ansent, e ou va fè yon fis. Epi ou va rele non li Ismaël ki vle di Bondye tande, akoz SENYÈ a te okipe afliksyon ou yo.
The angel of Yahweh also said to her, “Behold, you are pregnant and will bear a son, and you will call his name Ishmael, because Yahweh has heard your affliction.
12 Li va yon nonm tankou bourik mawon. Men li va kont tout moun, e men a tout moun va kont li. Epi li va viv yon jan ki kont tout frè li yo.”
He will be a wild donkey of a man. He will be hostile against every man, and every man will be hostile to him, and he will live apart from all his brothers.”
13 Epi li te rele non SENYÈ a ki te pale avèk li: “Ou se yon Bondye ki wè a”, paske li te di: “Èske m ap vrèman rete vivan isit lè m fin wè Li”?
Then she gave this name to Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Do I really continue to see, even after he has seen me?”
14 Pou sa, pwi a te rele Lachaï-roi. Gade byen, li la antre Kadès ak Bared.
Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Alò, Agar te fè yon fis pou Abram. E Abram te rele fis li a, ke Agar te fè a, Ismaël.
Hagar gave birth to Abram's son, and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 Abram te gen katre-ven-sis ane lè Agar te fè Ismaël pou li a.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
