Jenèz 20
1 Alò Abraham te vwayaje soti la vè peyi Negev la. Li te vin rete antre Kàdes ak Schur, e li te pase yon tan kon etranje nan Guérar.
And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and lived between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
2 Abraham te di selon Sarah, madanm li: “Li se sè mwen”. Alò, Abimélec, wa nan Guérar a te vin pran Sarah.
And Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha.
3 Men Bondye te vini a Abimélec nan yon rèv nan nwit, e Li te di li: “Veye byen, ou se yon moun ki fin mouri akoz fanm ke ou te pran an, paske li marye.”
And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, you die for the woman, whom you have taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.
4 Alò, Abimélec pa t gen tan pwoche li, epi li te reponn: “Senyè, èske Ou va detwi yon nasyon, malgre li san fot?
But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just nation?
5 Èske li menm, li pa t di mwen: ‘Li se sè mwen?’ Epi li menm, li te di: ‘Li se frè m.’ Nan entegrite kè m, ak inosans men m, mwen te fè sa.”
Said he not to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this.
6 Konsa, Bondye te di li nan rèv la: “Wi, Mwen konnen ke nan entegrite kè ou, ou te fè sa, e Mwen osi te anpeche ou pou ou pa t peche kont Mwen. Se pou sa Mwen pa t kite ou touche li.
And God said to him in sleep, Yes, I knew that you did this with a pure heart, and I spared you, so that you should not sin against me, therefore I suffered you not to touch her.
7 Alò, pou sa, remèt madanm a nonm sa a. Paske se yon pwofèt ke li ye. Li va priye pou ou e ou va viv. Men si ou pa remèt li, konnen ke ou va anverite mouri, ou menm avèk tout moun sa yo ki pou ou yo.”
But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for you, and you shall live; but if you restore her not, know that you shall die and all your.
8 Konsa, Abimélec te leve granmmaten. Li te rele tout sèvitè li yo, e te di tout bagay sa yo pou yo tande. Mesye sa yo te gen gwo laperèz.
And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.
9 Alò, Abimélec te rele Abraham. Li te di li: “Kisa ou te fè nou? Epi kijan mwen te peche kont ou ke ou te pote sou mwen ak wayòm mwen yon gran peche? Ou te fè m bagay ou pa ta janm dwe fè.”:
And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that you have done to us? Have we sinned against you, that you have brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.
10 Epi Abimélec te di a Abraham: “Sak rive ou ki fè ou fè bagay sa a?”
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What have you seen in [me] that you have done this?
11 Abraham te di: “Paske, mwen te reflechi ke asireman, pa gen lakrent Bondye nan plas sa a, e yo va touye mwen akoz madanm mwen.
And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
12 Anplis de sa, vrèman li se sè mwen, fi a papa m, men pa fi a manman m, e li te vin madanm mwen.
For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife.
13 Lè li te rive ke Bondye te fè m vwayaje pou kite kay papa m, mwen te di li: ‘Men yon gras ke ou va fè m: tout kote nou ale, di pa mwen menm: ‘Li se frè m.’’”
And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness you shall perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Konsa, Abimélec te pran mouton avèk bèf avèk sèvitè li yo, mal ak femèl. Li te bay yo a Abraham, e li te remèt madanm li, Sarah bay li.
And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maidservants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife.
15 Abimélec te di: “Byen gade, peyi mwen an devan ou. Etabli ou kote ou pito.”
And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before you, dwell wherever it may please you.
16 A Sarah, li te di: “Byen gade, mwen te bay frè ou mil pyès an ajan. Veye byen, li se revandikasyon ou devan zye tout moun ki avèk ou. E devan tout, ke ou egzonore.”
And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to you for the price of your countenance, and to all the women with you, and speak the truth in all things.
17 Abraham te priye a Bondye, e Bondye te geri Abimélec avèk madanm li, avèk mennaj li yo, pou yo te vin fè pitit.
And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.
18 Paske SENYÈ a te fèmen vant yo a tout kay Abimélec la akoz Sarah, madanm Abraham nan.
Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.
