Jenèz 21
1 Epi SENYÈ a te bay atansyon a Sarah jan Li te pale a, e SENYÈ a te fè sa pou Sarah jan li te pwomèt la.
And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.
2 Alò, Sarah te vin ansent, e li te anfante yon fis pou Abraham nan vyeyès li, nan lè chwazi ke Bondye te pale li a.
And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.
3 Abraham te rele non a fis ki te fèt a li menm nan, ke Sarah te fè pou li a, Isaac.
And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.
4 Epi Abraham te sikonsi fis li a, Isaac lè l te gen laj uit jou, jan Bondye te kòmande li a.
And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,
5 Alò, Abraham te gen laj san ane lè fis li a, Isaac te vin fèt a li menm.
When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born.
6 Sarah te di: “Bondye te fè m fè gwo ri. Tout moun ki tande va ri avèk mwen.”
And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me.
7 Epi li te di: “kilès ki ta di a Abraham ke Sarah ta bay tete a timoun? Paske mwen ba li yon fis nan vyeyès li.”
And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age.
8 Pitit la te grandi e li te vin sevre. Abraham te fè yon gwo fèt nan jou ke Isaac te sevre a.
And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
9 Alò, Sarah te wè fis Agar a, Ejipsyen an, ke li te fè pou Abraham nan, t ap moke l.
And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the Egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham:
10 Akoz sa, li te di Abraham: “Mete bòn sa a deyò ansanm avèk fis li a! Paske fis a sèvant sa a p ap vin eritye avèk fis mwen an, Isaac.”
Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.
11 Bagay sa a te twouble Abraham anpil akoz fis li a.
Abraham took this grievously for his son.
12 Men Bondye te di a Abraham: “Pa enkyete akoz pwoblèm jènjan sa a avèk sèvant ou an. Nenpòt sa ke Sarah di ou, koute li, paske se nan Isaac desandan ou yo va vin nome.
And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 Ak fis sèvant lan, Mwen va fè yon nasyon tou, akoz ke li menm se desandan ou.”
But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
14 Konsa, Abraham te leve bonè nan maten. Li te pran pen avèk yon kwi dlo, e li te bay yo a Agar. Li te vin mete yo sou zepòl li, li te ba li jènjan an, e li te voye li ale. Li te pati e li te vwayaje nan dezè Beer-Schéba a.
So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee.
15 Lè dlo ki te nan kwi a, te fin sèvi, li te kite jènjan an anba yon ti ab.
And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.
16 Alò, li te ale chita nan distans yon flèch kab tire, e li te di: “Pa kite m wè jènjan an k ap mouri.” Konsa, li te chita anfas li; li te leve vwa li, e li te kriye.
And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, she lifted up her voice and wept.
17 Bondye te tande jènjan an t ap kriye, epi zanj Bondye a te rele Agar depi nan Syèl la. Li te di l: “Kisa ou gen, Agar? Pa pè, paske Bondye te tande vwa jènjan an kote li ye a.
And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.
18 Leve, ale fè jènjan an leve, e kenbe li nan men, paske Mwen va fè yon gran nasyon ak li.”
Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.
19 Epi Bondye te ouvri zye l, e li te wè yon pwi dlo. Li te ale plen po a avèk dlo, e li te bay jènjan an bwè ladann.
And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink.
20 Bondye te avèk jènjan an, e li te grandi. Li te viv nan dezè a e li te vin yon achè.
And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.
21 Li te viv nan dezè Paran an, e manman l te pran yon madanm pou li nan peyi Égypte la.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
22 Alò, li te vin rive nan tan sa a ke Abimélec avèk Picol, chèf lame li, te pale avèk Abraham. Li te di l: “Bondye avèk ou nan tout sa ou fè
At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.
23 Pou sa, fè sèman ban mwen menm isit la devan Bondye ke ou p ap twonpe ni mwen, ni pitit mwen yo, ni posterite mwen yo, men selon tout gras ke m te montre ou, ou va montre m tou, nan peyi kote ou te demere kon yon etranje a.”
Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger.
24 Abraham te di: “Mwen fè sèman sa a.”
And Abraham said: I will swear.
25 Men Abraham te plenyen bay Abimélec akoz pwi dlo ke sèvitè Abimélec yo te sezi a.
And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
26 Abimélec te reponn: “Mwen pa konnen kilès ki te fè ou bagay sa a. Ou pa t di m sa, ni mwen pa t tande sa, jis rive jodi a.”
And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today.
27 Abraham te pran mouton avèk bèf, e li te bay yo a Abimélec. Konsa, yo de a te fè yon akò.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.
28 Abraham te mete sèt jèn mouton femèl ki sòti nan bann mouton apa pou kont yo.
And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.
29 Abimélec te di a Abraham: “Kisa sa vle di; sèt jèn mouton femèl ke ou te mete apa pou kont yo?”
And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?
30 Li te di: “Ou va pran sèt jèn mouton femèl sa yo nan men m pou yo kapab devni yon temwen pou mwen ke mwen te fouye pwi sa a.”
But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.
31 Pou sa, li te rele plas sila a Beer-Schéba, paske se la ke yo de a te fè sèman an.
Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because there both of them did swear.
32 Alò, yo te fè yon akò nan Beer-Schéba. Konsa, Abimélec avèk Picol, kòmandan lame a, te leve retounen nan peyi Filisten yo.
And they made a league for the well of oath.
33 Abraham te plante la yon pyebwa tamaris nan Beer-Schéba, e la li te rele sou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Letènèl la.
And Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal.
34 Epi Abraham te demere nan peyi Filistyen yo pandan anpil jou.
And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.
