< Genesis 26 >

1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine which had been in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Te vin gen yon lòt grangou nan peyi a, pi rèd pase sa ki te tonbe sou peyi a nan tan Abraram lan. Lè sa a, Izarak ale yon kote yo rele Gera kay Abimelèk, wa moun Filisti yo.
2 And Jehovah appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt: dwell in the land that I shall tell thee of.
Izarak fè yon vizyon, li wè Seyè a parèt devan l'. Seyè a di l': -Pa desann nan peyi Lejip, rete kote m'ap di ou rete a.
3 Sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee and bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries; and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father.
W'a pase kèk tan nan peyi sa a. M'ap avè ou, m'ap beni ou, paske mwen pral ba ou tout tè sa a pou ou menm ak pou tout ras ou. m'a kenbe sèman mwen te fè bay Abraram, papa ou.
4 And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and unto thy seed will I give all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves —
M'ap ba ou anpil anpil pitit tankou zetwal nan syèl la. M'ap ba yo tout tè sa yo. Gremesi pitit pitit ou yo, tout nasyon sou latè pral jwenn benediksyon.
5 because that Abraham hearkened to my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
tout sa, paske Abraram te tande m' lè m' te pale avè l', li te swiv tout lòd mwen yo ak tout kòmandman mwen yo. Li te fè tout sa mwen mande l', li te obeyi tout lwa mwen yo.
6 And Isaac dwelt at Gerar.
Se konsa Izarak rete kote yo rele Gera a.
7 And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, my wife, [saying to himself, ] Lest the men of the place slay me on account of Rebecca — because she was fair in countenance.
Lè mesye ki te rete nan peyi a mande l' kisa madanm li ye pou li, li reponn yo se sè l' li ye, paske li te pè di se madanm li Rebeka te ye pou mesye yo pa t' touye l' pou yo te ka pran Rebeka ki te bèl anpil.
8 And it came to pass when he had been there some time, that Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked out of the window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was dallying with Rebecca his wife.
Izarak te gen kèk tan depi l' te rete la. Yon jou, Abimelek, wa moun Filisti yo, t'ap gade nan fennèt li, li te wè Izarak ki t'ap pase men sou Rebeka, madanm li.
9 Then Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is certainly thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? and Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account of her.
Lè sa a, Abimelèk voye chache Izarak. Li di l' konsa: -Gade non, monchè, se madanm ou li ye! Poukisa ou di se sè ou li ye! Izarak reponn li: -Mwen te di sa paske mwen te kwè yo ta ka touye m', si m' te di se madanm mwen li ye.
10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done to us? But a little and one of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a trespass on us.
Abimelèk di l': -Kisa ou fè nou konsa? Yonn nan mesye nou yo ta ka byen rive kouche avèk madanm ou! Se ou ki ta lakòz nou fè peche sa a.
11 And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall certainly be put to death.
Se konsa Abimelèk pase lòd sa a bay tout pèp la: -Si yon moun manyen nonm sa a, osinon madanm li, y'ap touye l'.
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold; and Jehovah blessed him.
Izarak fè jaden nan peyi a. Lè lanne a bout, li rekòlte san fwa valè sa l' te plante a, paske Seyè a te beni l'.
13 And the man became great, and he became continually greater, until he was very great.
Msye te vin rich. Li t'ap fè lajan toujou, jouk li rive vin rich anpil anpil.
14 And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great number of servants; and the Philistines envied him.
Li te gen kantite kabrit, mouton ak bèf, ak anpil moun ki t'ap sèvi l'. Sa te fè moun Filisti yo rayi sò li.
15 And all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them and filled them with earth.
Se konsa yo konble tout pi domestik Abraram yo te fouye sou tan Abraram, papa Izarak. Yo plen yo tè.
16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for thou art become much mightier than we.
Lèfini, Abimelèk di Izarak: -Pati, al fè wout ou! Ou pi grannèg pase nou.
17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his camp in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Se konsa Izarak pati kite kote l' te ye a, li ale nan Fon Gera a. Se la li moute kay li pou l' rete.
18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water that they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and that the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Li fè refouye tout pi dlo yo te fouye sou tan Abraram, papa l'. Se pi sa yo moun Filisti yo te bouche apre lanmò Abraram. Izarak ba yo menm non papa l' te ba yo a.
19 And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Domestik Izarak yo te fouye ankò nan fon an. Yo te jwenn yon sous dlo k'ap ponpe.
20 But the shepherds of Gerar strove with Isaac's shepherds, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they had quarrelled with him.
Men, gadò mouton peyi Gera yo leve yon sèl kont avèk gadò mouton Izarak yo. Yo t'ap di: -Dlo sa a, se pou nou li ye. Se konsa Izarak rele pi a Pi dezagreman paske yo te chache l' dezagreman pou dlo a.
21 And they dug another well, and they strove for that also; and he called the name of it Sitnah.
Domestik Izarak yo fouye yon lòt pi ki te lakòz yo chache yo kont ankò. Se konsa Izarak rele pi a Pi ki fè lènmi.
22 And he removed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive for that. And he called the name of it Rehoboth, and said, For now Jehovah has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
Lè l' wè sa, li wete kò l' kote l' te ye a, li fouye yon lòt pi pou sa pa t' fè kont. Se poutèt sa li rele pi a Pi ki pa nan kont. Li di: -Koulye a Seyè a ban nou kont espas nan peyi a pou nou pa nan kont. Se atò zafè nou pral mache nan peyi a.
23 And he went up thence to Beer-sheba.
Izarak pati, li moute Bècheba.
24 And Jehovah appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
Menm jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit, Seyè a parèt nan yon vizyon, li di Izarak konsa: -Mwen se Bondye Abraram, papa ou. Ou pa bezwen pè anyen, paske mwen la avèk ou. M'ap beni ou, m'ap ba ou anpil pitit pitit, poutèt Abraram, sèvitè m' lan.
25 And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah. And he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well.
Izarak bati yon lotèl la, li fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Li moute kay li la. Domestik li yo fouye yon lòt pi.
26 And Abimelech, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol the captain of his host, went to him from Gerar.
Abimelèk soti Gera, li vin wè Izarak. Li te gen avè l' Akouzat, yon bon zanmi l', ak Pikòl, kòmandan lame li a.
27 And Isaac said to them, Why are ye come to me, seeing ye hate me, and have driven me away from you?
Izarak mande yo: -Poukisa nou vin wè m' koulye a? Jan nou te rayi m' sa a jouk nou te rive mete m' deyò nan peyi nou an!
28 And they said, We saw certainly that Jehovah is with thee; and we said, Let there be then an oath between us — between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,
Yo reponn li: -Koulye a nou konnen Seyè a avèk ou. Se poutèt sa nou di n'ap fè yon kontra avè ou, n'ap sèmante yonn bay lòt.
29 that thou wilt do us no wrong, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done to thee nothing but good, and have let thee go in peace; thou art now blessed of Jehovah.
W'ap sèmante ou p'ap janm fè nou anyen, menm jan nou pa t' janm fè ou anyen. W'ap sèmante nou te toujou aji byen avè ou. Nou kite ou ale san bri san kont. Koulye a, ou gen benediksyon Bondye sou ou.
30 And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Izarak fè gwo fèt pou yo. Yo manje, yo bwè.
31 And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Nan granmaten, yo leve, yo sèmante yonn bay lòt. Apre sa, moun Filisti yo di Izarak orevwa. Yo separe tankou de bon zanmi, epi y al fè wout yo.
32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well that they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.
Menm jou sa a, domestik Izarak yo vin ba l' nouvèl pi yo t'ap fouye a. Yo di l': -Nou jwenn dlo.
33 And he called it Shebah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.
Izarak rele pi a Chibeya. Se poutèt sa, jouk jòdi a, yo rele lavil la Bècheba.
34 And Esau was forty years old, when he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basmath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Ezaou te gen karantan lè l' marye ak Jidit, pitit fi Beri, yon moun Et. Li te gen yon lòt madanm tout yo te rele Basmat, pitit fi Elon, yon moun Et tou.
35 And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and to Rebecca.
Medam sa yo te rann Izarak ak Rebeka lavi minab.
