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”.
And it comes to pass after these things that God has tried Abraham and says to him, “Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
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.”
And He says, “Now take your son, your only one, whom you have loved, even Isaac, and go for yourself to the land of Moriah, and cause him to ascend there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains of which I speak to 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.
And Abraham rises early in the morning, and saddles his donkey, and takes two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac, and he cleaves the wood of the burnt-offering, and rises and goes to the place of which God has spoken to him.
4 Nan twazyèm jou a, Abraham te leve zye li, e li te wè plas la nan yon distans.
On the third day—Abraham lifts up his eyes, and sees the place from afar;
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.”
and Abraham says to his young men, “Remain by yourselves here with the donkey, and I and the youth go over there and worship, and 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.
And Abraham takes the wood of the burnt-offering, and places on his son Isaac, and he takes in his hand the fire, and the knife; and they go on both of them 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?”
And Isaac speaks to his father Abraham and says, “My father,” and he says, “Here I [am], my son.” And he says, “Behold, the fire and the wood, and where the lamb for a 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.
And Abraham says, “God provides for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son”; and they go on both of them 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.
And they come to the place of which God has spoken to him, and there Abraham builds the altar, and arranges the wood, and binds his son Isaac, and places him on the altar above the wood;
10 Abraham te lonje men l, e li te pran kouto a pou touye fis li a.
and Abraham puts forth his hand, and takes 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.”
And the Messenger of YHWH calls to him from the heavens and says, “Abraham, Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am]”;
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.”
and He says, “Do not put forth your hand to the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that you are fearing God, and have not withheld your son, your only one, 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.
And Abraham lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, a ram behind, seized in a thicket by its horns; and Abraham goes, and takes the ram, and causes it to ascend for a burnt-offering instead 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 calls the name of that place “YHWH-Jireh,” because it is said this day in the mountain, “YHWH provides.”
15 Alò, zanj SENYÈ a te rele Abraham yon dezyèm fwa soti nan syèl la,
And the Messenger of YHWH calls to Abraham a second time from the heavens,
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,
and says, “I have sworn by Myself—a declaration of YHWH—that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one,
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.
that blessing I bless you, and multiplying I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which [is] on the seashore; and your Seed possesses the gate of His enemies;
18 Nan posterite ou, tout nasyon sou latè yo va beni, akoz ke ou te obeyi vwa Mwen.”
and all nations of the earth have blessed themselves in your Seed, because you have listened to 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.
And Abraham turns back to his young men, and they rise and go together to Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwells in Beer-Sheba.
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:
And it comes to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, “Behold, Milcah has borne, even she, sons to your brother Nahor:
21 Uts se premye ne li, epi Buz frè li, avèk Kemuel, papa Aram nan
his firstborn Huz, and his brother Buz; and Kemuel father of Aram,
22 epi Késed, Hazo, Pildasch, Jidlaph, ak Bethuel.”
and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel;
23 Bethuel te vin papa Rebecca. Uit de Milcah sa yo te fè pitit pou Nahor, frè Abraham nan.
and Bethuel has begotten Rebekah”; Milcah has borne these eight to Nahor, Abraham’s brother;
24 Konkibin li ki te rele Réuma, osi te fè Thébach, Gaham, Tahasch, ak Maaca.
and his concubine, whose name [is] Reumah, she also has borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.
