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 Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as 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.
For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son 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.
And Abraham called the name of his son that was 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.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Alò, Abraham te gen laj san ane lè fis li a, Isaac te vin fèt a li menm.
And Abraham was a 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.”
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear 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 she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah shall nurse children? for 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.
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast 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.
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which 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.”
Wherefore, she said to Abraham, Cast out this bond-woman, and her son: for the son of this bond-woman shall not be heir with my son, [even] with Isaac.
11 Bagay sa a te twouble Abraham anpil akoz fis li a.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight, 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.
And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bond-woman; in all that Sarah 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.”
And also of the son of the bond-woman will I make a 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.
And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave [it] to Hagar (putting [it] on her shoulder) and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 Lè dlo ki te nan kwi a, te fin sèvi, li te kite jènjan an anba yon ti ab.
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
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, and sat her down over against [him], a good way off, as it were a bow-shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and raised 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 lad: and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath 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.”
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy 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 she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad 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 the lad; and he grew, and dwelt 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.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took for him a wife 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
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest:
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 thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: [but] according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou hast sojourned.
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 Abraham reproved Abimelech, because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
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 said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet have I heard [of it], but to-day.
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 covenant.
28 Abraham te mete sèt jèn mouton femèl ki sòti nan bann mouton apa pou kont yo.
And Abraham set seven ewe-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?”
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast 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.”
And he said, For [these] seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness to me, that I have digged this well.
31 Pou sa, li te rele plas sila a Beer-Schéba, paske se la ke yo de a te fè sèman an.
Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba: because there they swore both of them.
32 Alò, yo te fè yon akò nan Beer-Schéba. Konsa, Abimélec avèk Picol, kòmandan lame a, te leve retounen nan peyi Filisten yo.
Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: Then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into 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.
And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
34 Epi Abraham te demere nan peyi Filistyen yo pandan anpil jou.
And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
