< 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.
And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did to Sarah as 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 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.
3 Sarah mah sak pae ih capa to Abraham mah, Issak, tiah ahmin phui.
And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to 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 Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Abraham loe a capa Issak tapen naah saning cumvaito oh boeh.
And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
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 made me laugh: all that hear 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 she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle children? For I have borne [him] a son in his old age.
8 Nawkta loe qoeng tahang moe, tahnutui amphi boeh; tahnutui toengh na niah Abraham mah kalen parai uumhaih poih to sak pae.
And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 Toe Abraham han capa maeto kasah pae, Izip nongpata Hagar mah pahnui thuih, tito Sarah mah panoek.
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
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.
And she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son — with Isaac.
11 Abraham loe a capa ah oh pongah, haek ving to anih han karai parai hmuen ah oh.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because 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 Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy handmaid: [in] all that Sarah hath said to thee hearken to her voice, for in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
13 Na tamna nongpata ih capa doeh, na caa ah oh pongah, anih doeh acaeng maeto ah ka sak han, tiah a naa.
But also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
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 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave [it] to Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder — and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 Moihin tui tabu pong ih tui to boeng naah loe, kabuk thing tlim ah nawkta to pasongh.
And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,
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 went and sat down over against [him], a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lifted up her 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.
And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What [aileth] thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad there, 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.
Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy 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 she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad 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 the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 Paran praezaek ah oh naah, amno mah anih hanah Izip tanuh to zu ah lak pae.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of 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.
And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
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.
And now swear to me here by God that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou sojournest.
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 Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
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 said, I do not know who has done this, neither hast thou told me [of it], neither have I heard [of it] but to-day.
27 Abraham mah tuu hoi maitawnawk to lak moe, Abimelek hanah paek; to pacoengah nihnik mah lokmaihaih to sak hoi.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
28 Abraham mah tuu khongkha thung ih tuu tala sarihto lak.
And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 To naah Abimelek mah Abraham khaeah, Tipongah tuu tala sarihto na pahoe loe? tiah a naa.
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves?
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.
And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.
31 Lokmaihaih a sak hoi pongah, to ahmuen to Beersheba, tiah kawk o.
Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there they had sworn, both of them.
32 Abimelek hoi angmah ih misatuh angraeng Phikol loe, Beersheba ah misa angdaehhaih sak pacoengah, Philistin prae ah amlaem hoi let.
And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 Abraham mah Beersheba ah thingkung maeto tling moe, to ahmuen hoiah dungzan Angraeng, Sithaw ih ahmin to palawk.
And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Eternal God.
34 Abraham loe Philistin prae thungah saning kasawk ah khosak.
And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
