Genesis 17
1 And Abram was ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am your God, be well-pleasing before me, and be blameless.
Le Abram rive sou katrevendisnevan laj, Seyè a parèt devan l', li di l' konsa. Mwen se Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. Se pou ou toujou fè sa m' di ou fè. Se pou ou mennen yon vi san repwòch.
2 And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.
M'ap pase yon kontra avè ou, m'ap ba ou anpil anpil pitit pitit.
3 And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying,
Lè sa a, Abram mete ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè. Bondye pale avè l' ankò, li di l'.
4 And I, behold! my covenant [is] with you, and you shall be a father of a multitude of nations.
-Men kontra m'ap pase avè ou la. W'ap zansèt moun anpil nasyon.
5 And your name shall no more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraam, for I have made you a father of many nations.
Yo p'ap rele ou Abram ankò. Men y'a rele ou Abraram, paske m'ap fè ou tounen zansèt moun anpil nasyon.
6 And I will increase you very exceedingly, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.
M'ap ba ou anpil anpil pitit pitit. Y'ap tounen kantite nasyon. Anpil wa ap soti nan ras ou.
7 And I will establish my covenant between you and your seed after you, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and [the God] of your seed after you.
M'ap kenbe kontra m' lan avè ou, avèk tout ras ou. De pitit an pitit, se va yon kontra k'ap la pou tout tan. Se mwen k'ap Bondye ou, se mwen k'ap Bondye pitit pitit ou yo tou.
8 And I will give to you and to your seed after you the land wherein you sojourn, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.
Ou wè tè kote ou rete tankou moun vini koulye a? Mwen gen pou m' ba ou l' ansanm ak tout pitit pitit ou yo. tout peyi Kanaran an ap rele ou pa ou pou tout tan. Wi, se mwen menm k'ap Bondye yo tout.
9 And God said to Abraam, You also shall fully keep my covenant, you and your seed after you for their generations.
Bondye di Abraram. Men ou menm ansanm ak tout ras ou, de pitit an pitit, se pou nou dakò pou nou kenbe kontra a avèk mwen.
10 And this [is] the covenant which you shall fully keep between me and you, and between your seed after you for their generations; every male of you shall be circumcised.
Men sa pou ou menm ansanm ak tout pitit ou yo pou nou dakò fè: se pou tout gason nan mitan nou sikonsi.
11 And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and you.
Depi koulye a, se pou nou sikonsi tout gason. Se pou sa sèvi yon siy pou moutre gen yon kontra ki pase ant nou menm avè m'.
12 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 your seed.
Se pou nou sikonsi tout gason wit jou apre yo fèt, li te mèt pitit moun lakay la, osinon pitit moun lòt nasyon ou pran pou travay lakay ou.
13 He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with money shall be surely circumcised, and my covenant shall be on your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Wi, se pou yo tout yo sikonsi, kit yo fèt lakay ou, kit yo fèt nan peyi etranje. Se va yon mak nan kò nou pou fè wè kontra mwen pase avèk nou an, se yon kontra ki la pou tout tan.
14 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.
Si yon gason pa sikonsi, se pou yo disparèt li nan ras la, paske li pa t' kenbe kontra mwen fè ak nou an.
15 And God said to Abraam, Sara your wife—her name shall not be called Sara, Sarrha shall be her name.
Apre sa, Bondye di Abraram. Sarayi, madanm ou, p'ap rele Sarayi ankò. Men depi jòdi a y'a rele l' Sara.
16 And I will bless her, and give you a son of her, and I will bless him, and he shall become nations, and kings of nations shall be of him.
M'ap beni madanm ou, m'ap fè l' ba ou yon pitit gason. M'ap beni l', m'ap fè l' tounen manman moun anpil nasyon. Anpil nan pitit pitit li yo va wa.
17 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?
Abraram mete ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè. Men, li tonbe ri lè l' chonje jan l' fin granmoun. Li t'ap di nan kè l'. Eske yon nonm ki gen santan ka fè pitit ankò? Eske Sara, yon fanm ki gen katrevendizan, ka vin ansent?
18 And Abraam said to God, Let this Ismael live before you.
Li di Bondye. Tanpri, beni Izmayèl. Pa kite l' mouri!
19 And God said to Abraam, Yes, behold, Sarrha your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall 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.
Men Bondye di l'. Non, se Sara madanm ou, ki gen pou fè yon pitit gason pou ou. W'a rele l' Izarak. M'ap kenbe kontra mwen avèk li, ansanm ak pitit pitit li yo. Pa bliye. Se va yon kontra k'ap la pou tout tan.
20 And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard you, 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.
Ou mande m' pou m' pwoteje Izmayèl pou ou! M'ap fè l' pou ou! M'ap beni l', m'ap ba li anpil pitit ak anpil pitit pitit. Gen douz chèf k'ap soti nan fanmi li. M'ap fè pitit li yo tounen yon gwo nasyon.
21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarrha shall bear to you at this time, in the next year.
Men, m'ap kenbe kontra mwen an avèk Izarak, pitit gason Sara pral fè pou ou a. L'ap fèt lanne k'ap vini an, lè konsa.
22 And he left off speaking with him, and God went up from Abraam.
Lè Bondye fin pale avèk Abraram, li kite l', li moute nan syèl.
23 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.
Jou sa a Abraram pran Izmayèl, pitit gason li an, ak tout gason ki t'ap travay lakay li, kit yo te fèt nan kay la, kit se moun lòt nasyon li te pran pou sèvi l', li sikonsi yo tout menm jou a, jan Bondye te pase l' lòd la.
24 And Abraam was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Abraram poutèt pa l' te gen katrevendiznèvan lè l' te sikonsi.
25 And Ismael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Izmayèl, pitit gason l' lan, te gen trèzan lè l' te sikonsi.
26 And at the period of that day, Abraam was circumcised, and Ismael his son,
Yo tout de, yo sikonsi yo menm jou
27 and all the men of his house, both those born in the house, and those bought with money of foreign nations.
ansanm ak tout domestik ki te lakay li, kit yo te fèt la, kit se achte li te achte yo nan men moun lòt nasyon yo.
