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.
Yahweh paid attention to Sarah as he had said he would, and Yahweh did for Sarah just as he had promised.
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.
Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 Abraham te rele non a fis ki te fèt a li menm nan, ke Sarah te fè pou li a, Isaac.
Abraham named his son, the one who had been born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 Epi Abraham te sikonsi fis li a, Isaac lè l te gen laj uit jou, jan Bondye te kòmande li a.
Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, just as God had commanded him.
5 Alò, Abraham te gen laj san ane lè fis li a, Isaac te vin fèt a li menm.
Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Sarah te di: “Bondye te fè m fè gwo ri. Tout moun ki tande va ri avèk mwen.”
Sarah said, “God has made me laugh; every one who hears 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.”
She also said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children, and yet I have borne him a son 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.
The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 Alò, Sarah te wè fis Agar a, Ejipsyen an, ke li te fè pou Abraham nan, t ap moke l.
Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
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.”
So she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman will not be heir with my son, with Isaac.”
11 Bagay sa a te twouble Abraham anpil akoz fis li a.
This thing was very grievous to Abraham because of 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.
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be grieved because of the lad, and because of your servant woman. Listen to her words in all she says to you about this matter, because it is through Isaac that your descendants will be named.
13 Ak fis sèvant lan, Mwen va fè yon nasyon tou, akoz ke li menm se desandan ou.”
I will also make the son of the servant woman into a nation, because he is your descendant.”
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.
Abraham rose up early in the morning, took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder. He gave her the boy and sent her away. She departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 Lè dlo ki te nan kwi a, te fin sèvi, li te kite jènjan an anba yon ti ab.
When the water in the waterskin was gone, she abandoned the child under one of the bushes.
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.
Then she went, and sat down a short distance from him, about the distance of a bowshot away, for she said, “Let me not look upon the death of the child.” As she sat there across from him, 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.
God heard the voice of the lad, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Leve, ale fè jènjan an leve, e kenbe li nan men, paske Mwen va fè yon gran nasyon ak li.”
Get up, raise up the lad, and encourage him; for I will make him into 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.
Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.
20 Bondye te avèk jènjan an, e li te grandi. Li te viv nan dezè a e li te vin yon achè.
God was with the lad, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness and became an archer.
21 Li te viv nan dezè Paran an, e manman l te pran yon madanm pou li nan peyi Égypte la.
He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother got a wife for him from 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
It came about at that time that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
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.”
Now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my offspring, nor with my descendants. Show to me and to the land in which you have been staying the same covenant faithfulness that I have shown to you.”
24 Abraham te di: “Mwen fè sèman sa a.”
Abraham said, “I swear.”
25 Men Abraham te plenyen bay Abimélec akoz pwi dlo ke sèvitè Abimélec yo te sezi a.
Abraham also complained to Abimelech concerning a well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized from him.
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.”
Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing. You did not tell me before now; I have not heard of it until today.”
27 Abraham te pran mouton avèk bèf, e li te bay yo a Abimélec. Konsa, yo de a te fè yon akò.
So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
28 Abraham te mete sèt jèn mouton femèl ki sòti nan bann mouton apa pou kont yo.
Then Abraham set seven female lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Abimélec te di a Abraham: “Kisa sa vle di; sèt jèn mouton femèl ke ou te mete apa pou kont yo?”
Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven female lambs that you have set by themselves?”
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.”
He replied, “These seven female lambs you will receive from my hand, so that it may be a witness 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.
So he called that place Beersheba, because there they both swore an oath.
32 Alò, yo te fè yon akò nan Beer-Schéba. Konsa, Abimélec avèk Picol, kòmandan lame a, te leve retounen nan peyi Filisten yo.
They made a covenant at Beersheba, and then Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, returned to the land of the Philistines.
33 Abraham te plante la yon pyebwa tamaris nan Beer-Schéba, e la li te rele sou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Letènèl la.
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba. There he worshiped Yahweh, the eternal God.
34 Epi Abraham te demere nan peyi Filistyen yo pandan anpil jou.
Abraham remained as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
