Jenèz 17

1 Alò, lè Abram te gen laj katre-ven-sèz ane, SENYÈ a te parèt a Abram. Li te di li: “Mwen menm se Bondye Toupwisan an. Mache devan mwen, e rete san fot.

And Abram was ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am thy God, be well-pleasing before me, and be blameless.

2 Mwen va etabli akò Mwen antre Mwen ak Ou, e Mwen va miltipliye ou anpil, anpil.”

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and I will multiply thee exceedingly.

3 Abram te tonbe atè sou figi li. Bondye te pale avèk li, e te di:

And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying,

4 “Pou Mwen, koute byen, akò Mwen avè ou a. Ou va papa a yon gran kantite nasyon.

And I, behold! my covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.

5 Yo p ap rele ou Abram ankò, men non ou va Abraham, paske Mwen ap fè ou papa a yon gran kantite nasyon.

And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraam, for I have made thee a father of many nations.

6 “M ap fè ou bay anpil fwi, Mwen va fè nasyon yo avè w, e wa yo va soti nan ou menm.

And I will increase thee very exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

7 “Mwen va etabli akò Mwen antre Mwen ak ou, e desandan ou yo selon tout jenerasyon pa yo kòm yon akò k ap pou tout tan, pou M rete kòm Bondye pou ou ak desandan apre ou yo.

And I will establish my covenant between thee and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be thy God, and [the God] of thy seed after thee.

8 “Mwen va ba ou avèk desandan ou yo peyi kote nou vwayaje yo, tout tè Canaan an, kòm yon posesyon k ap pou tout tan, epi Mwen va Bondye pa yo.”

And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land wherein thou sojournest, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.

9 Bondye te di anplis a Abraham: “Koulye a pou ou, ou va kenbe akò Mwen an, ou menm avèk desandan apre ou yo pou tout jenerasyon.

And God said to Abraam, Thou also shalt fully keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee for their generations.

10 Sa se akò Mwen, ke nou va kenbe antre Mwen ak nou menm, e desandan apre nou yo: chak mal pami nou va vin sikonsi.

And this [is] the covenant which thou shalt fully keep between me and you, and between thy seed after thee for their generations; every male of you shall be circumcised.

11 ““Nou va sikonsi nan chè sou avan chè nou, e sa ap sèvi kòm sign akò antre Mwen ak nou.

And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and you.

12 Epi chak mal antre nou ki gen uit jou va sikonsi selon tout jenerasyon nou yo, e osi yon sèvitè ki fèt lakay ou, oswa ki achte avèk lajan a nenpòt etranje ki pa sòti nan desandan pa nou yo.

And the child of eight days [old] shall be circumcised by you, every male throughout your generations, and [the servant] born in the house and he that is bought with money, of every son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed.

13 Yon sèvitè ki fèt lakay nou, oswa ki te achte avèk lajan nou va asireman vin sikonsi; konsa akò Mwen va nan chè nou, yon akò pou tout tan.

He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with money shall be surely circumcised, and my covenant shall be on your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 Men yon mal ki pa sikonsi nan avan chè li, moun sila a va vin retire de pèp li a. Li vyole akò Mwen an.”

And the uncircumcised male, who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from its family, for he has broken my covenant.

15 Epi Bondye te di a Abraham: “Konsènan madanm ou, Saraï, ou pa pou rele li Saraï, men Sarah va non li.

And God said to Abraam, Sara thy wife—her name shall not be called Sara, Sarrha shall be her name.

16 Mwen va beni li, Mwen va bay ou yon fis pa li. Alò, Mwen va beni li, e li va yon manman pou anpil nasyon. Wa a pèp yo va sòti nan li.”

And I will bless her, and give thee a son of her, and I will bless him, and he shall become nations, and kings of nations shall be of him.

17 Nan moman sa a, Abraham te tonbe sou figi li. Li te ri e li te di nan kè l: “Èske yon pitit va fèt a yon nonm santan? Epi èske Sarah, ki gen katre-ven-diz ane va fè yon pitit?”

And Abraam fell upon his face, and laughed; and spoke in his heart, saying, Shall there be a child to one who is a hundred years old, and shall Sarrha who is ninety years old, bear?

18 Konsa, Abraham te di a Bondye: “O ke Ismaël kapab viv devan Ou!”

And Abraam said to God, Let this Ismael live before thee.

19 Men Bondye te di: “Non, men Sarah, madanm ou an va fè yon fis, e ou va rele non li Isaac. Mwen va etabli akò Mwen an avèk li pou yon akò pou tout tan pou desandan apre li yo.

And God said to Abraam, Yea, behold, Sarrha thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to him and to his seed after him.

20 “Pou Ismaël, Mwen te tande ou. Gade byen, Mwen va fè li bay anpil fwi, e li va miltipliye li anpil, anpil. Li va vin papa a douz prens yo, e Mwen va fè li vin yon gran nasyon.

And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard thee, and, behold, I have blessed him, and will increase him and multiply him exceedingly; twelve nations shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

21 “Men akò Mwen an, Mwen va etabli li avèk Isaac, ke Sarah va fè pou ou nan menm sezon sa a, lane pwochèn.”

But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarrha shall bear to thee at this time, in the next year.

22 Lè Li te fin pale avèk li, Bondye te monte kite Abraham.

And he left off speaking with him, and God went up from Abraam.

23 Alò, Abraham te pran Ismaël, fis li a, tout sèvitè ki te fèt nan kay li, tout ki te achte avèk lajan li, chak mal pami mesye lakay Abraham yo, e li te sikonsi prepis yo nan menm jou sa a jan Bondye te di li a.

And Abraam took Ismael his son, and all his home-born [servants], and all those bought with money, and every male of the men in the house of Abraam, and he circumcised their foreskins in the time of that day, according as God spoke to him.

24 Alò, Abraham te gen katre-ven-diz ane lè li te sikonsi nan chè pwen pye li.

And Abraam was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25 Epi Ismaël, fis li a te gen trèz ane lè li te sikonsi nan chè pwen pye li.

And Ismael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

26 Nan menm jou sa a, Abraham te sikonsi, ansanm ak fis li, Ismaël.

And at the period of that day, Abraam was circumcised, and Ismael his son,

27 Tout gason lakay li yo, ki te fèt lakay li, ki te achte avèk lajan nan men moun etranje, te sikonsi avèk li.

and all the men of his house, both those born in the house, and those bought with money of foreign nations.
