Genesis 16
1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children; and she had a servant, a woman of Egypt whose name was Hagar.
Sarayi, madanm Abram, pa t' janm fè pitit. Sarayi te gen yon sèvant, moun peyi Lejip, yo te rele Aga.
2 And Sarai said to Abram, See, the Lord has not let me have children; go in to my servant, for I may get a family through her. And Abram did as Sarai said.
Sarayi di Abram konsa. Gade! Seyè a pa kite mwen fè pitit. Al kouche ak sèvant mwen an non. Ou pa janm konnen, li ka fè pitit pou mwen. Abram tonbe dakò ak sa Sarayi te di l' la.
3 So after Abram had been living for ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, and gave her to Abram for his wife.
Se konsa, Sarayi, madanm Abram, pran sèvant li a, Aga ki te moun peyi Lejip, li bay Abram li pou madanm. Lè sa a, Abram te gen tan gen dizan nan peyi Kanaran.
4 And he went in to Hagar and she became with child, and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for her master's wife.
Abram kouche ak Aga. Aga vin ansent. Lè Aga wè li ansent, lògèy vire tèt li, li pa gade Sarayi, metrès li, pou anyen ankò.
5 And Sarai said to Abram, May my wrong be on you: I gave you my servant for your wife and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for me: may the Lord be judge between you and me.
Lè sa a, Sarayi di Abram. Se fòt ou wi si m'ap sibi tout wont sa a. Se mwen menm ki te ba ou sèvant mwen an pou madanm. Men, depi li wè li ansent lan, li pa gade m' pou anyen ankò. Se Seyè a ki pou jije m' avè ou.
6 And Abram said, The woman is in your power; do with her whatever seems good to you. And Sarai was cruel to her, so that she went running away from her.
Abram reponn Sarayi, li di l'. Sèvant ou pou ou. Li sou zòd ou. Ou gen dwa fè sa ou vle avè l'. Se konsa, Sarayi pran maltrete Aga sitèlman, Aga blije sove kite kay la pou li.
7 And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
Zanj Seyè a kontre Aga bò yon sous dlo nan dezè a sou wout ki mennen nan peyi Chour la.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant, where have you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am running away from Sarai, my master's wife.
Li di l' konsa. Aga, sèvant Sarayi, kote ou soti la a? Kote ou prale? Aga reponn. M'ap kouri pou Sarayi, metrès mwen.
9 And the angel said to her, Go back, and put yourself under her authority.
Zanj Seyè a di l'. Tounen lakay metrès ou, soumèt ou devan li.
10 And the angel of the Lord said, Your seed will be greatly increased so that it may not be numbered.
Zanj lan di l' ankò. M'ap ba ou anpil anpil pitit pitit. Moun p'ap ka konte yo.
11 And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.
Zanj lan di l' ankò. Gade! Ou ansent. Ou pral fè yon ti gason. Wa rele l' Izmayèl, paske Seyè a tande rèl ou nan tray w'ap pase a.
12 And he will be like a mountain ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him, and he will keep his place against all his brothers.
Pitit gason ou lan va tankou yon bourik mawon. L'ap chache tout moun kont. tout moun va chache l' kont. Li p'ap mele ak tout frè l' yo. L'ap viv pou kont li.
13 And to the Lord who was talking with her she gave this name, You are a God who is seen; for she said, Have I not even here in the waste land had a vision of God and am still living?
Aga di nan kè l'. Ou kwè se vre se mwen ki wè moun ki wè m' lan? Se konsa li bay Seyè a yon non, li rele l': Ou se Bondye ki wè m' lan.
14 So that fountain was named, Fountain of Life and Vision: it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Se poutèt sa, yo rele pi dlo ki ant Kadès ak Barèd la: Pi moun vivan ki wè m' lan.
15 And Hagar gave birth to a child, the son of Abram, to whom Abram gave the name of Ishmael.
Aga fè yon pitit gason pou Abram. Abram rele pitit la Izmayèl.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.
Abram te gen katrevensizan lè Aga te fè Izmayèl.
