Jenèz 26
1 Alò, te gen yon gwo grangou nan peyi a, ki te fèt apre gwo grangou ki te fèt nan jou Abraham yo. Isaac te ale Guérar vè Abimélec, wa Filisten yo.
And there was a famine in the lande besides the first famine that was in the dayes of Abraham. Wherefore Izhak went to Abimelech King of the Philistims vnto Gerar.
2 Senyè a te parèt a li menm e te di: “Pa desann an Égypte. Rete nan peyi ke Mwen va montre ou a.
For the Lord appeared vnto him, and sayde, Goe not downe into Egypt, but abide in the land which I shall shewe vnto thee.
3 Rete pou yon tan nan peyi sa a, Mwen va avèk ou, e Mwen va beni ou, paske a ou menm ak desandan ou yo, Mwen va bay tout peyi sa yo, e Mwen va etabli sèman ke Mwen te sèmante a papa ou a, Abraham.
Dwell in this lande, and I will be with thee, and will blesse thee: for to thee, and to thy seede I will giue all these countreys: and I will performe the othe which I sware vnto Abraham thy father.
4 “Mwen va miltipliye desandan ou yo tankou zetwal nan syèl la, e va bay tout tè sa yo a desandan ou yo. E nan desandan ou yo, tout nasyon latè yo va beni,
Also I wil cause thy seede to multiply as the starres of heauen, and will giue vnto thy seede all these countreys: and in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,
5 akoz Abraham te obeyi Mwen, e kenbe chaj Mwen, Kòmandman Mwen yo, règleman Mwen yo, avèk lwa Mwen yo.”
Because that Abraham obeyed my voyce and kept mine ordinance, my commandements, my statutes, and my Lawes.
6 Konsa, Isaac te viv Guérar.
So Izhak dwelt in Gerar.
7 Lè mesye yo nan plas la te mande li de madanm li, li te di: “Li se sè mwen,” paske li te pè pou di “madanm mwen” akoz li te panse: “mesye yo nan zòn sa a ta kapab touye mwen pou Rebecca, paske li bèl.”
And the men of the place asked him of his wife, and he sayd, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife, least, sayde he, the men of the place shoulde kill me, because of Rebekah: for she was beautifull to the eye.
8 Li te rive lè li te rete la pandan anpil tan, ke Abimélec, wa Filisten yo t ap gade nan yon fenèt, e gade, li te wè Isaac ki t ap karese madanm li, Rebecca.
So after hee had bene there long time, Abimelech King of the Philistims looked out at a windowe, and loe, he sawe Izhak sporting with Rebekah his wife.
9 Alò, Abimélec te rele Isaac e te di: “Gade sa, vrèman li se madanm ou! Kòman ou te fè di mwen: ‘Li se sè mwen’”? Isaac te di li: “Akoz ke mwen te di: ‘Mwen ta kapab mouri akoz li.’”
Then Abimelech called Izhak, and sayde, Loe, shee is of a suertie thy wife, and why saydest thou, She is my sister? To whom Izhak answered, Because I thought this, It may be that I shall dye for her.
10 Abimélec te di: “Kisa ke ou te fè nou la a? Yon moun nan pèp la ta kapab fasilman vin kouche avèk madanm ou, e ou t ap fè nou vin koupab pou peche sa a.”
Then Abimelech said, Why hast thou done this vnto vs? one of the people had almost lien by thy wife, so shouldest thou haue brought sinne vpon vs.
11 Konsa, Abimélec te bay tout pèp la lòd, e te di: “Moun ki touche mesye sa a, oswa madanm li, asireman va mete a lanmò.”
Then Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man, or his wife, shall die the death.
12 Alò, Isaac te simen nan peyi sa a, e li te rekòlte nan menm ane a san fwa. Senyè a te beni li.
Afterwarde Izhak sowed in that lande, and founde in the same yeere an hundreth folde by estimation: and so the Lord blessed him.
13 Mesye a te vin rich e li te kontinye vin pi rich jiskaske li te vin ranmase anpil gwo richès.
And the man waxed mightie, and stil increased, till he was exceeding great,
14 Li te posede anpil bann mouton, twoupo avèk anpil chan bèt, jiskaske Filisten yo te vin anvi li.
For he had flockes of sheepe, and heards of cattell, and a mightie housholde: therefore the Philistims had enuy at him.
15 Alò, tout pwi ke sèvitè a papa li yo te fouye nan jou Abraham yo, papa li, Filisten yo te bouche lè yo te ranpli yo avèk tè.
In so much that the Philistims stopped and filled vp with earth all the welles, which his fathers seruantes digged in his father Abrahams time.
16 Alò, Abimélec te di a Isaac: “Kite nou, paske ou twò fò pou nou.”
Then Abimelech sayde vnto Izhak, Get thee from vs, for thou art mightier then wee a great deale.
17 Konsa, Isaac te pati la. Li te vin rete nan vale Guérar a, e li te fè anplasman la.
Therefore Izhak departed thence and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 Isaac te fouye pwi yo ankò, pwi ki te fouye nan jou papa li yo, Abraham, paske Filisten yo te bouche yo apre mò Abraham nan. Epi li te bay yo menm non ke papa li te bay yo.
And Izhak returning, digged the welles of water, which they had digged in the dayes of Abraham his father: for the Philistims had stopped them after the death of Abraham, and hee gaue them the same names, which his father gaue them.
19 Men lè sèvitè Isaac yo te fouye nan vale a, e te twouve la yon pwi dlo ki t ap boujonnen,
Izhaks seruantes then digged in the valley, and found there a well of liuing water.
20 bèje Guérar yo te goumen avèk bèje Isaac yo e te di: “Dlo a se pa nou!” Alò, li te nonmen pwi a Ések akoz ke yo te fè kont ak li.
But the herdmen of Gerar did striue with Izhaks herdmen, saying, The water is ours: therefore called he the name of the well Esek, because they were at strife with him.
21 Yo te fouye yon lòt pwi, yo te goumen sou sila a tou e li te nonmen li Sitna.
Afterwarde they digged another well, and stroue for that also, and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 Li te deplase la, li te fouye yon lòt pwi, e yo pa t goumen sou li. Li te bay li non a Rehoboth, paske li te di: “Koulye a, Bondye vin bannou plas, e nou va rekòlte anpil fwi nan peyi a.”
Then he remoued thence, and digged an other well, for the which they stroue not: therefore called hee the name of it Rehoboth, and sayde, Because the Lord hath nowe made vs roome, we shall increase vpon the earth.
23 Alò, li te kite la pou monte Beer-Schéba.
So he went vp thence to Beer-sheba.
24 SENYÈ a te parèt a li menm nan nwit lan, e te di: “Mwen se Bondye a papa ou, Abraham. Pa pè, paske Mwen avè w. Mwen va beni ou, e Mwen va fè desandan ou yo miltipliye pou koz a sèvitè Mwen an, Abraham.”
And the Lord appeared vnto him the same night, and sayde, I am the God of Abraham thy father: feare not, for I am with thee, and wil blesse thee, and will multiplie thy seede for my seruant Abrahams sake.
25 Konsa, li te bati yon lotèl la, li te rele non SENYÈ a, e te monte tant li la. La sèvitè Isaac yo te fouye yon pwi.
Then he builte an altar there, and called vpon the Name of the Lord, and there spred his tent: where also Izhaks seruauntes digged a well.
26 Alò, Abimélec te vin kote li soti Guérar, avèk konseye li, Ahuzath, avèk Picol, kòmandan lame a.
Then came Abimelech to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friendes, and Phichol the captaine of his armie.
27 Isaac te di yo: “Poukisa nou vin kote m, kòmsi nou rayi mwen, e te pouse mwen lwen nou?”
To whom Izhak sayd, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate mee and haue put mee away from you?
28 Yo te di: “Nou wè byen klè ke SENYÈ a te avèk ou. Alò, nou te di: ‘Annou fè yon sèman antre nou menm, e kite nou fè yon akò avèk ou,
Who answered, Wee sawe certainely that the Lord was with thee, and wee thought thus, Let there be nowe an othe betweene vs, euen betweene vs and thee, and let vs make a couenant with thee.
29 ke ou p ap fè nou okenn mal, menm jan ke nou pa t touche ou, nou pa t fè ou anyen sof ke byen, e w ap voye nou ale anpè.’ Koulye a, ou se beni a SENYÈ a.”
If thou shalt do vs no hurt, as we haue not touched thee, and as we haue done vnto thee nothing but good, and sent thee away in peace: thou nowe, the blessed of the Lord, doe this.
30 Alò, li te fè yon gwo fèt manje pou yo, yo te manje e bwè.
Then hee made them a feast, and they dyd eate and drinke.
31 Nan maten, yo te leve bonè. Yo te sèmante a youn lòt, epi Isaac te voye yo ale kite li anpè.
And they rose vp betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: then Izhak let them go, and they departed from him in peace.
32 Li te vin rive nan menm jou a, ke sèvitè Isaac yo te antre e te avèti li de yon pwi ke yo te fouye. Yo te di li: “Nou gen tan twouve dlo.”
And that same day Izhaks seruantes came and tolde him of a well, which they had digged, and said vnto him, We haue found water.
33 Konsa, li te rele li Schiba, akoz sa yo rele vil la Beer-Schéba jis rive jodi a.
So hee called it Shibah: therefore the name of the citie is called Beer-sheba vnto this day.
34 Lè Ésaü te gen karant ane, li te marye avèk Judith, fi Béeri a, Etyen an, e Basmath, fi a Elon an, Etyen an.
Nowe when Esau was fourtie yeere olde, he tooke to wife Iudith, the daughter of Beeri an Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon an Hittite also.
35 Yo te mennen traka pou twouble Isaac avèk Rebecca.
And they were a griefe of minde to Izhak and to Rebekah.
