Genesis 21
1 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Sarah khaeah caeh moe, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng mah Sarah khaeah sak pae.
Then the Lord visited Sarah, just as he had promised; and he fulfilled what he had spoken.
2 Abraham mitong naah Sarah zokpomh moe, Sithaw mah khaeh ih atue phak naah, Abraham han capa maeto a sak pae.
And she conceived and gave birth to a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold to her.
3 Sarah mah sak pae ih capa to Abraham mah, Issak, tiah ahmin phui.
And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sarah bore for him, Isaac.
4 Sithaw mah anih khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, ni tazetto akoep naah, Abraham mah a capa Issak ih tangyat hin to aah pae.
And he circumcised him on the eighth day, just as God had instructed him,
5 Abraham loe a capa Issak tapen naah saning cumvaito oh boeh.
when he was one hundred years old. Indeed, at this stage of his father’s life, Isaac was born.
6 Sarah mah, Sithaw mah kai ang pahnuisak boeh, hae lok thaih kaminawk boih, kai hoi nawnto pahnui o tih, tiah thuih.
And Sarah said: “God has brought laughter to me. Whoever will hear of it will laugh with me.”
7 To pacoengah, Mi mah maw Abraham khaeah, Sarah mah a caa tahnutui panae tih, tiah thui thai tih? Toe mitong lam ah anih han capa maeto ka sak pae, tiah a thuih.
And again, she said: “Hearing this, who would believe Abraham, that Sarah breast-fed a son, to whom she gave birth, despite being elderly?”
8 Nawkta loe qoeng tahang moe, tahnutui amphi boeh; tahnutui toengh na niah Abraham mah kalen parai uumhaih poih to sak pae.
And the boy grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
9 Toe Abraham han capa maeto kasah pae, Izip nongpata Hagar mah pahnui thuih, tito Sarah mah panoek.
And when Sarah had seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with her son Isaac, she said to Abraham:
10 To pongah anih mah Abraham khaeah, Na tamna nongpata hoi a capa hae haek lai ah; tamna nongpata ih capa loe natuek naah doeh ka capa Issak hoi nawnto qawktoep thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
“Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman servant will not be heir with my son Isaac.”
11 Abraham loe a capa ah oh pongah, haek ving to anih han karai parai hmuen ah oh.
Abraham took this grievously, for the sake of his son.
12 Toe Sithaw mah, Nawkta hoi na tamna nongpata pongah palungsae hmah; Sarah mah thuih ih lok to tahngai ah; nang ih atii loe Issak khae hoi ni tacawt tih, tiah a naa.
And God said to him: “Let it not seem harsh to you concerning the boy and your woman servant. In all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.
13 Na tamna nongpata ih capa doeh, na caa ah oh pongah, anih doeh acaeng maeto ah ka sak han, tiah a naa.
Yet I will also make the son of the woman servant into a great nation, for he is your offspring.”
14 Khawnbang khawnthaw ah, Abraham mah takaw hoi moihin tui tabu to lak moe, Hagar to paek; anih ih palaeng ah koeng pae moe, nawkta hoi anih to nawnto haek ving; Hagar loe caeh poe moe, Beersheba praezaek ah amhet khing.
And so Abraham arose in the morning, and taking bread and a skin of water, he placed it upon her shoulder, and he handed over the boy, and he released her. And when she had departed, she wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 Moihin tui tabu pong ih tui to boeng naah loe, kabuk thing tlim ah nawkta to pasongh.
And when the water in the skin had been consumed, she set aside the boy, under one of the trees that were there.
16 To pacoengah kadueh nawkta to hnuk han ka koeh ai, tiah a thuih pongah caeh moe, nawkta hoi kangthla kue pala kahhaih setto kangthla ahmuen maeto ah anghnut pacoengah, tha hoi a qah.
And she moved away and sat in a distant area, as far as a bow can reach. For she said, “I shall not see the boy die.” And so, sitting opposite her, he lifted up his voice and wept.
17 Nawkta qahhaih lok to Sithaw mah thaih naah, Sithaw ih van kami mah Hagar to van hoiah kawk, anih khaeah, Hagar, tih raihaih maw na tongh? Zii hmah, Sithaw mah angsonghaih ahmuen hoi kaqah nawkta ih lok to thaih boeh.
But God heard the voice of the boy. And an Angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, saying: “What are you doing, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heeded the voice of the boy, from the place where he is.
18 Angthawk ah, nawkta to pathawk ah loe, na ban ah tapom ah; anih loe kalen parai acaeng ah ka sak han, tiah a naa.
Rise up. Take the boy and hold him by the hand. For I will make of him a great nation.”
19 Sithaw mah Hagar ih mik to amtuengsak naah, anih mah tuipuek maeto hnuk; a caeh moe, moihin tui tabu koi mongah tui to dok pacoengah, nawkta to tui naeksak.
And God opened her eyes. And seeing a well of water, she went and filled the skin, and she gave the boy to drink.
20 Nawkta loe qoeng tahang, anih loe Sithaw mah oh thuih; praezaek ah khosak moe, kalii kaat kop kami ah angcoeng.
And God was with him. And he grew, and he stayed in the wilderness, and he became a young man, an archer.
21 Paran praezaek ah oh naah, amno mah anih hanah Izip tanuh to zu ah lak pae.
And he lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 Abimelek hoi angmah ih misatuh angraeng Phikol mah Abraham khaeah, Na sak ih hmuen boih ah Sithaw mah ang oh thuih.
At the same time, Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, said to Abraham: “God is with you in everything that you do.
23 To pongah ka caa nuiah, to tih ai boeh loe ka caa ih caa patoeng nuiah, amsoem ai hmuen to ayae moe, angvin ah na ohhaih prae thungah kai mah kang tahmen baktih toengah, ka nuiah doeh tahmenhaih nam tuengsak toeng hanah; vaihi kai hanah Sithaw ih ahmin hoi lokkamhaih to sah ah, tiah a naa.
Therefore, swear by God that you will do no harm to me, and to my posterity, and to my stock. But according to the mercy that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land, to which you have turned as a newcomer.”
24 Abraham mah, Lokkamhaih ka sak han hmang, tiah a naa.
And Abraham said, “I will swear.”
25 To naah Abraham mah Abimelek khaeah, Na tamnanawk mah kai ih tuikhaw ang lomh pae o ving, tiah a naa.
And he reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
26 Toe Abimelek mah, Kai khaeah nang thui ai pongah, mi mah maw to tiah sak, tito ka panoek ai, vaihni ah ni ka thaih vop, tiah a naa.
And Abimelech responded, “I do not know who did this thing, but you also did not reveal it to me, nor have I heard of it, before today.”
27 Abraham mah tuu hoi maitawnawk to lak moe, Abimelek hanah paek; to pacoengah nihnik mah lokmaihaih to sak hoi.
And so Abraham took sheep and oxen, and he gave them to Abimelech. And both of them struck a pact.
28 Abraham mah tuu khongkha thung ih tuu tala sarihto lak.
And Abraham set aside seven female lambs from the flock.
29 To naah Abimelek mah Abraham khaeah, Tipongah tuu tala sarihto na pahoe loe? tiah a naa.
Abimelech said to him, “What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?”
30 Anih mah, Tuikhaw loe kaimah ni takaeh, tiah hnukung ah oh hanah hae tuu tala sarihto hae, ka ban thung hoi la ah, tiah a naa.
But he said, “You will receive seven female lambs from my hand, so that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.”
31 Lokmaihaih a sak hoi pongah, to ahmuen to Beersheba, tiah kawk o.
For this reason, that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them did swear.
32 Abimelek hoi angmah ih misatuh angraeng Phikol loe, Beersheba ah misa angdaehhaih sak pacoengah, Philistin prae ah amlaem hoi let.
And they initiated a pact on behalf of the well of oath.
33 Abraham mah Beersheba ah thingkung maeto tling moe, to ahmuen hoiah dungzan Angraeng, Sithaw ih ahmin to palawk.
Then Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, rose up, and they returned to the land of the Palestinians. In truth, Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the Lord God Eternal.
34 Abraham loe Philistin prae thungah saning kasawk ah khosak.
And he was a settler in the land of the Palestinians for many days.
