Jenèz 21
1 Seyè a fè Sara favè, jan l' te di l' la. Li fè sa l' te pwomèt li a rive vre.
And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 Sara vin ansent. Atout li te fin vye granmoun lan, li fè yon pitit gason pou Abraram, nan dat Bondye te di l' la.
And Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 Abraram rele pitit gason Sara te fè pou li a Izarak.
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
4 Ti gason an te gen wit jou lè Abraram sikonsi l', jan Bondye te ba li lòd la.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Abraram te gen santan sou tèt li lè Izarak, pitit li a, te fèt.
And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 Sara di konsa. Bondye fè m' bagay ki fè m' ri. tout moun ki tande sa pral ri avè m' tou.
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me.
7 Apre sa, li di ankò: -Ki moun ki ta di Abraram yon jou Sara gen pou bay timoun tete? Men, atout li fin vye a, mwen fè yon pitit gason pou li.
And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.
8 Ti gason an grandi, li sevre. Jou yo sevre l' la, Abraram fè yon gwo fèt.
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 Yon jou Izmayèl, pitit Aga, fanm peyi Lejip la te fè pou Abraram lan t'ap jwe ak Izarak, pitit Sara a. Sara wè sa.
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, mocking.
10 Li di Abraram konsa: -Mete sèvant la deyò ansanm ak tout pitit li a, paske pitit sèvant sa a pa gen dwa eritye ak Izarak, pitit mwen an.
Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son: for the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
11 Pawòl sa a te fè Abraram lapenn anpil, paske Izmayèl te pitit li tou.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
12 Men, Bondye di Abraram konsa-Ou pa bezwen pran lapenn pou ti gason an ak pou Aga, sèvant ou a. Ou mèt fè tout sa Sara di ou fè a, paske se Izarak ki pral ba ou pitit pitit mwen pwomèt ou yo.
And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 M'ap bay pitit sèvant lan anpil pitit pitit. M'ap fè l' tounen yon nasyon, paske se pitit ou li ye tou.
And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14 Nan denmen Abraram leve bonè, li pran pen ak yon sak an po bèt plen dlo, li bay Aga. Li ede l' mete yo sou tèt li. Li ba li pitit la, li fè l' ale kite kay la. Aga pati, li mache, li mache, jouk li pèdi nan dezè Bècheba a.
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and [gave her] the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 Lè dlo nan sak la fini, li kite pitit la anba yon touf raje.
And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 li ale, li chita pi devan, yon bon ti distans, li di nan kè l' -Mwen pa ka rete ap gade pitit mwen an ap mouri konsa. Pandan li chita konsa, pitit la pran rele.
And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17 Bondye tande rèl pitit la. Zanj Bondye a rete nan syèl la, li pale ak Aga, li di l' konsa-Sa ou genyen, Aga? Ou pa bezwen pè. Kote Bondye ye a, li tande rèl ti pitit la.
And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Leve non, pran ti pitit la, kenbe l'. M'ap fè pitit pitit li yo tounen yon gwo nasyon.
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.
19 Bondye louvri je Aga. Aga wè yon pi. li ale, li plen sak an po a dlo. Li bay ti pitit la bwè dlo kont kò l'.
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
20 Bondye te avèk ti pitit la. Li grandi, li rete nan dezè a. Li te rive konn tire flèch nan banza ak anpil ladrès.
And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
21 Se nan dezè Paran li te rete. Manman l' te chwazi yon madanm pou li nan jenn fi peyi Lejip yo.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 Lè sa a, Abimelèk ale ansanm avek Pikòl, kòmandan lame li a, li pale ak Abraram. Li di l' konsa-Bondye avè ou nan tout sa w'ap fè.
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
23 Koulye a, fè sèman, isit la menm, devan Bondye, ou p'ap janm twonpe ni mwen menm, ni pitit mwen yo, ni pitit pitit mwen yo. Mwen te aji byen avè ou. Pwomèt w'ap aji byen avè m' tou, epi w'ap sèvi byen ak tout moun nan peyi kote ou rete a.
now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
24 Abraram reponn. -M' fè sèman.
And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 Men Abraram te fè Abimelèk repwòch pou yon pi li domestik Abimelèk yo te pran pa fòs.
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
26 Abimelèk di l' -Mwen pa konnen ki moun ki fè sa. Ni tou, ou pa t' janm di m' anyen sou sa. Se koulye a m'ap tande koze a.
And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day.
27 Abraram pran kèk mouton ak kèk bèf li bay Abimelèk. Konsa, yo pase kontra yonn ak lòt.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
28 Abraram pran sèt mouton nan bann mouton l' yo, li mete yo sou kote.
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Abimelèk mande l' -Poukisa ou mete sèt mouton sa yo sou kote.
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
30 Abraram reponn li-Asepte sèt mouton sa yo. Si ou asepte yo, sa vle di ou rekonèt devan tout moun se mwen menm ki te fouye pi a.
And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
31 Se poutèt sa yo rele anplasman an Bècheba, paske se la menm yo te sèmante yonn bay lòt.
Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
32 Se Bècheba yo te pase kontra yonn ak lòt. Apre sa, Abimelèk leve, li tounen nan peyi moun Filisti yo, ansanm ak Pikòl, kòmandan lame li a.
So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 Se la Bècheba Abraram plante yon pye tonmaren. Lèfini li fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye ki la pou tout tan an.
And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Everlasting God.
34 Apre sa, Abraram rete kèk lanne ankò nan peyi Filisti a.
And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
