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 Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath 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 Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with 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 calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born 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 circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
5 Alò, Abraham te gen laj san ane lè fis li a, Isaac te vin fèt a li menm.
And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,
6 Sarah te di: “Bondye te fè m fè gwo ri. Tout moun ki tande va ri avèk mwen.”
and Sarah saith, 'God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for 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 saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for 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 lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;
9 Alò, Sarah te wè fis Agar a, Ejipsyen an, ke li te fè pou Abraham nan, t ap moke l.
and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath 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.”
and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with Isaac.'
11 Bagay sa a te twouble Abraham anpil akoz fis li a.
And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;
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 saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.
13 Ak fis sèvant lan, Mwen va fè yon nasyon tou, akoz ke li menm se desandan ou.”
As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, 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 riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray 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 is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad 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 goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
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 heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];
18 Leve, ale fè jènjan an leve, e kenbe li nan men, paske Mwen va fè yon gran nasyon ak li.”
rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
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 openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth 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 is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is 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 dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife 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
And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, 'God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;
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.”
and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
24 Abraham te di: “Mwen fè sèman sa a.”
And Abraham saith, 'I — I do swear.'
25 Men Abraham te plenyen bay Abimélec akoz pwi dlo ke sèvitè Abimélec yo te sezi a.
And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently 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 saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save 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 taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
28 Abraham te mete sèt jèn mouton femèl ki sòti nan bann mouton apa pou kont yo.
and Abraham setteth seven 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 saith unto Abraham, 'What [are] they — these seven 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 saith, 'For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for 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.
therefore hath he called that place 'Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
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 make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto 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] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;
34 Epi Abraham te demere nan peyi Filistyen yo pandan anpil jou.
and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
