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 came to be a famine in the land, besides the first famine which happened in the days of Abraham, —so Isaac went his way unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines towards 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.
and Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, do not go down towards Egypt, —Make thy habitation in the land, which I may name unto 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.
Sojourn in this land, that I may be with thee and bless thee, —for, to thee, and to thy seed, will I give all these lands, So will I establish the oath which I sware to 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,
and will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and will give to thy seed, all these lands, —And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in thy seed:
5 akoz Abraham te obeyi Mwen, e kenbe chaj Mwen, Kòmandman Mwen yo, règleman Mwen yo, avèk lwa Mwen yo.”
Because that Abraham hearkened unto my voice, —and so kept my charge, my commandments my statutes and my laws.
6 Konsa, Isaac te viv Guérar.
So Isaac 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.”
Then asked the men of the place as to his wife, and he said, My sister, is she, —For he feared to say My wife, lest [said he] the men of the place should slay me on account of Rebekah, for fair to look on, she is.
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.
And it came to pass when the days had lengthened out to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines, looked out through the lattice of a window, —and he beheld and lo! Isaac—laughing 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.’”
So Abimelech called for Isaac, and said, But lo she is, thy wife! How then, saidst thou, She is, my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because, I said, Lest I die on her account.
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, said, Abimelech, What is this thou hast done to us? A little more, and one of the people might have lien with thy wife, so shouldst thou have brought upon us, guilt.
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.”
And Abimelech commanded all the people saying, —He that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely be put to 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.
And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year, a hundredfold, —seeing that Yahweh had blessed him.
13 Mesye a te vin rich e li te kontinye vin pi rich jiskaske li te vin ranmase anpil gwo richès.
So the man waxed great, —and went on and on waxing great until that he had waxed exceeding great.
14 Li te posede anpil bann mouton, twoupo avèk anpil chan bèt, jiskaske Filisten yo te vin anvi li.
So he came to have possessions of flocks and possessions of herds, and a large body of servants, —and the Philistines envied 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.
And as for all the wells which the servants of his father digged, in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up, and filled them with dust.
16 Alò, Abimélec te di a Isaac: “Kite nou, paske ou twò fò pou nou.”
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, —Get thee from us, for thou hast become far mightier than we.
17 Konsa, Isaac te pati la. Li te vin rete nan vale Guérar a, e li te fè anplasman la.
So Isaac went from thence, —and encamped 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 Isaac again digged the wells of water which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines stopped up after the death of Abraham, —and he called their names, after the names which his father called them.
19 Men lè sèvitè Isaac yo te fouye nan vale a, e te twouve la yon pwi dlo ki t ap boujonnen,
And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, —and found there a well of living 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.
And the herdmen of Gerar disputed with the herdmen of Isaac saying, Ours, is the, water! So he called the name of the well Esek, because they had stirred up a quarrel with him.
21 Yo te fouye yon lòt pwi, yo te goumen sou sila a tou e li te nonmen li Sitna.
And they digged another well, and they disputed over that also, —so he called the name thereof 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.”
And he moved on from thence and digged another well, and they disputed not for it, —so he called the name thereof. Rehoboth, and said, For, now, hath Yahweh made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 Alò, li te kite la pou monte Beer-Schéba.
And he went up from 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 Yahweh appeared unto him the same night, and said, I, am the God of Abraham thy father, —Do not fear for with thee, am, I, And I will bless thee and multiply thy seed, For the sake of Abraham my servant.
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.
So he builded there all altar and called on the name of Yahweh, and spread out there, his tent, —and the servants of Isaac cut out there a well.
26 Alò, Abimélec te vin kote li soti Guérar, avèk konseye li, Ahuzath, avèk Picol, kòmandan lame a.
And, Abimelech, came unto him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol, commander of his host.
27 Isaac te di yo: “Poukisa nou vin kote m, kòmsi nou rayi mwen, e te pouse mwen lwen nou?”
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore have ye come in mite me, seeing that, ye, hated me, and sent me 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,
And they said: We, saw plainly, that Yahweh was with thee, so we said, Let there be we pray thee an oath betwixt us both, betwixt us and thee, —and let us solemnise a covenant 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.”
That, thou wilt not do wrong by us, according as we touched not thee, and according as we did by thee nothing but good, and then sent thee away in peace, thee who, now, art blessed of Yahweh!
30 Alò, li te fè yon gwo fèt manje pou yo, yo te manje e bwè.
So he made for them a banquet, and they did eat and drink, —
31 Nan maten, yo te leve bonè. Yo te sèmante a youn lòt, epi Isaac te voye yo ale kite li anpè.
and rose up early in the morning, and took an oath each man to his brother, so Isaac 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 it came to pass, on the same day, that the servants of Isaac came in, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said to him, We have found water!
33 Konsa, li te rele li Schiba, akoz sa yo rele vil la Beer-Schéba jis rive jodi a.
So he called it, Shibah. For this cause, hath the name of the city, been Beer-sheba, unto 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.
And when Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith, daughter of Beeri. the Hittite; and Basemath, daughter of Elon, the Hittite;
35 Yo te mennen traka pou twouble Isaac avèk Rebecca.
and they became a bitterness of spirit, to Isaac and to Rebekah.
