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.
Now a famine happened in the land, besides the first famine that had been in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines at 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.
Now Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land that I tell you to live in.
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.
Stay in this very land, and I will be with you and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will fulfill the oath that I swore to Abraham your 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,
I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and will give to your descendants all these lands. Through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed.
5 akoz Abraham te obeyi Mwen, e kenbe chaj Mwen, Kòmandman Mwen yo, règleman Mwen yo, avèk lwa Mwen yo.”
I will do this because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my instructions, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
6 Konsa, Isaac te viv Guérar.
So Isaac settled 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.”
When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” He feared to say, “She is my wife,” because he thought, “The men of this place will kill me to get Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”
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.
After Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines happened to look out of a window. He saw, behold, Isaac was caressing 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.’”
Abimelech called Isaac to him and said, “Look, certainly she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?” Isaac said to him, “Because I thought someone might kill me to get 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.”
Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
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.”
So Abimelech warned all the people and said, “Whoever touches this man or his wife will 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.
Isaac planted crops in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold, because Yahweh blessed him.
13 Mesye a te vin rich e li te kontinye vin pi rich jiskaske li te vin ranmase anpil gwo richès.
The man became rich, and grew more and more until he became very great.
14 Li te posede anpil bann mouton, twoupo avèk anpil chan bèt, jiskaske Filisten yo te vin anvi li.
He had many sheep and cattle, and a large household. 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.
Now all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up by filling them with earth.
16 Alò, Abimélec te di a Isaac: “Kite nou, paske ou twò fò pou nou.”
Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much 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 departed from there and settled in the Valley of Gerar, and lived 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.
Once again Isaac dug out the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. The Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham's death. Isaac called the wells by the same names that his father had called them.
19 Men lè sèvitè Isaac yo te fouye nan vale a, e te twouve la yon pwi dlo ki t ap boujonnen,
When Isaac's servants dug in the valley, they found there a well of flowing 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.
The herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, and said, “This water is ours.” So Isaac called that well “Esek,” because they had quarreled with him.
21 Yo te fouye yon lòt pwi, yo te goumen sou sila a tou e li te nonmen li Sitna.
Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that, too, so he gave it the name of “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.”
He left there and dug yet another well, but they did not quarrel over that one. So he called it Rehoboth, and he said, “Now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”
23 Alò, li te kite la pou monte Beer-Schéba.
Then Isaac went up from there to Beersheba.
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.”
Yahweh appeared to him that same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not fear, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants, for my servant Abraham's 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.
Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of Yahweh. There he pitched his tent, and his servants dug a well.
26 Alò, Abimélec te vin kote li soti Guérar, avèk konseye li, Ahuzath, avèk Picol, kòmandan lame a.
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the captain of his army.
27 Isaac te di yo: “Poukisa nou vin kote m, kòmsi nou rayi mwen, e te pouse mwen lwen nou?”
Isaac said to them, “Why are you coming to me, since you hate me and have 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,
Then they said, “We have clearly seen that Yahweh has been with you. So we decided that there should be an oath between us, yes, between us and you. So let us make a covenant with you,
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 you will do us no harm, just as we have not harmed you, and as we have treated you well and have sent you away in peace. Indeed, you are blessed by Yahweh.”
30 Alò, li te fè yon gwo fèt manje pou yo, yo te manje e bwè.
So Isaac made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31 Nan maten, yo te leve bonè. Yo te sèmante a youn lòt, epi Isaac te voye yo ale kite li anpè.
They rose early in the morning and swore an oath with each other. Then Isaac sent them away, and they left 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.”
That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well that they had dug. They said, “We have found water.”
33 Konsa, li te rele li Schiba, akoz sa yo rele vil la Beer-Schéba jis rive jodi a.
He called the well Shibah, so the name of that city is Beersheba to 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.
When Esau was forty years old, he took a wife, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 Yo te mennen traka pou twouble Isaac avèk Rebecca.
They brought sorrow to Isaac and Rebekah.
