Jenèz 22
1 Alò, li te vin pase apre bagay sa yo, ke Bondye te fè Abraham pase yon eprèv. Li te di li: “Abraham!” Epi li te reponn: “Men mwen”.
Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
2 Li te di: “Pran koulye a fis ou a, sèl fis ou a, ke ou renmen an, Isaac, epi ale nan peyi Morija. Ofri li la kòm yon ofrann ki brile, sou youn nan mòn yo ke Mwen va di ou yo.”
“Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
3 Alò, Abraham te leve granmmaten. Li te sele bourik li, e li te pran de nan jennonm sèvitè li yo avè l, ansanm avèk Isaac, fis li a. Konsa, yo te fann bwa pou ofrann brile a, e yo te leve ale nan plas kote Bondye te di li a.
So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
4 Nan twazyèm jou a, Abraham te leve zye li, e li te wè plas la nan yon distans.
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5 Abraham te di a jèn sèvitè li yo: “Rete isit la avèk bourik la. Mwen menm avèk jènjan an va ale lòtbò a. Nou va adore, e retounen bò kote nou.”
“Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”
6 Abraham te pran bwa dife pou ofrann brile a. Li te poze li sou Isaac, fis li a, e li te pran nan men l dife ak kouto a. Epi yo de a te mache avanse ansanm.
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
7 Isaac te pale avèk papa li, Abraham, e te di li: “Papa m!” Epi li te reponn: “Men mwen, fis mwen.” Konsa, li te di l: “Gade, men dife a avèk bwa, men kote jèn mouton an ye pou fè sakrifis la?”
Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Abraham te di: “Bondye va fè pwovizyon Li menm pou jèn mouton an, fis mwen.” Epi yo de a te mache avanse ansanm.
Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.
9 Alò yo rive nan plas ke Bondye te di li a, epi Abraham te bati yon lotèl la. Li te ranje bwa, li te mare fis li a, Isaac, e li te poze li sou lotèl la anwo tout bwa yo.
When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.
10 Abraham te lonje men l, e li te pran kouto a pou touye fis li a.
Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 Men zanj SENYÈ a te rele li depi nan syèl la e te di: “Abraham, Abraham!” Li te reponn: “Men mwen isit la.”
Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12 Li te di: “Pa lonje men ou kont jènjan an, ni pa fè l anyen. Paske koulye a Mwen konnen ke ou krent Bondye, akoz ke ou pa t refize bay fis ou a, sèl fis ou ban Mwen an.”
“Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”
13 Alò, Abraham te leve zye li pou te gade, e byen wè, yon belye ki te kenbe pa kòn li, nan yon rakbwa. Abraham te ale pran belye a, e li te ofri li kòm ofrann brile a nan plas a fis li a.
Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 Abraham te rele non plas sa a Jehova-Jiré, Bondye Va Fè Pwovizyon. Jis jounen jodi a, yo kon di, “Nan mòn SENYÈ a, va gen pwovizyon.”
And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15 Alò, zanj SENYÈ a te rele Abraham yon dezyèm fwa soti nan syèl la,
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
16 e te di: “Pou kont Mwen menm, Mwen te sèmante, deklare SENYÈ a, akoz ou te fè bagay sa a, e ou pa t refize fis ou a, sèl fis inik ou an,
saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,
17 anverite Mwen va beni ou anpil. Mwen va miltipliye posterite ou tankou zetwal syèl yo, ak tankou grenn sab lanmè ki arebò lanmè yo, epi posterite ou va posede pòtay lènmi pa yo.
I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 Nan posterite ou, tout nasyon sou latè yo va beni, akoz ke ou te obeyi vwa Mwen.”
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
19 Epi Abraham te retounen vè jèn sèvitè yo. Yo te leve e te ale ansanm Beer-Schéba. Konsa, Abraham te rete Beer-Schéba.
Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
20 Li te vin rive apre bagay sa yo ke yo te pale ak Abraham e te di: “Gade byen, Milca osi te fè pitit pou frè ou, Nahor:
Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 Uts se premye ne li, epi Buz frè li, avèk Kemuel, papa Aram nan
Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22 epi Késed, Hazo, Pildasch, Jidlaph, ak Bethuel.”
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Bethuel te vin papa Rebecca. Uit de Milcah sa yo te fè pitit pou Nahor, frè Abraham nan.
And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24 Konkibin li ki te rele Réuma, osi te fè Thébach, Gaham, Tahasch, ak Maaca.
Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
