Suencuek 21
1 BOEIPA loh a ti bangla Sarah te a hip tih a thui bangla Sarah ham BOEIPA loh a saii.
Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
2 Pathen loh anih a uen bangla Sarah te vawn tih khoning vaengah tah a patong soi ah Abraham ham capa a cun pah.
So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
3 Te phoeiah anih ham Sarah loh a sak pah amah ca sak, a capa ming te Abraham loh Isaak sui.
And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
4 Pathen kah a uen vanbangla Abraham loh a capa Isaak te hnin rhet a lo ca vaengah yahhmui a rhet pah.
When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
5 Te dongah Abraham kum ya a lo ca vaengah a capa Isaak te amah taengah a cun.
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Tedae Sarah loh, “Pathen loh kai taengah nueihcil han saii he aka ya boeih loh kai taengah nuei van ni,” a ti.
Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
7 Te phoeiah, “Sarah loh camoe a khut ni tila Abraham taengah unim aka thui tih a patong daengah capa ka cun he,” a ti.
She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8 Camoe te khaw puel tih suk a kan coeng dongah Abraham loh Isaak kah sukkan khohnin ah buhkoknah muep a saii.
So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
9 Tedae Abraham ham Egypt nu Hagar loh a cun a capa loh a nueih thil te Sarah loh a hmuh.
But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
10 Te dongah Abraham taengah, “Salnu kah capa he ka capa Isaak taengah rho a pang thai pawt dongah salnu neh a capa te haek laeh,” a ti nah.
and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”
11 Tedae a capa kongmai dongah olka he, Abraham mik ah bahoeng lolh.
Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
12 Tedae Pathen loh Abraham taengah, “Camoe ham neh na salnu ham te na mik dongah lolh sak boeh. Isaak rhang neh nang ham tiingan thuep ham coeng dongah Sarah loh nang taengah a thui bangla, anih ol boeih hnatangnah.
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.
13 Tedae salnu capa te khaw na tiingan coeng dongah anih te namtom la ka khueh ni,” a ti nah.
But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
14 Te dongah Abraham loh mincang ah thoo tih buh neh tuitang tui te a loh. Te phoeiah Hagar a paek tih a laengpang ah a vah. Te phoeiah camoe neh a tueih tih a caeh vaengah Beersheba khosoek ah kho a hmang.
Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
15 Tedae tuitang khuikah tui te a khawk vaengah camoe te tangpuem pakhat hmuiah sut a voeih.
When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
16 Camoe kah dueknah te ka hmuh boel mai eh a ti dongah Cet tih li thikat kah tluk a lakhla la amah te ngol. Tedae a yoei la koep ngol tih a ol a huel doeah rhap.
Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I cannot bear to watch the boy die!” And as she sat nearby, she lifted up her voice and wept.
17 Te vaengah Pathen loh camoe kah a rhah ol te a yaak. Te dongah Pathen kah puencawn loh Hagar te vaan lamkah a khue tih, “Hagar, nang taengkah te balae? Ke lamkah camoe ol te Pathen loh a yaak coeng dongah rhih boeh.
Then God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he lies.
18 Thoo, camoe te poeh lamtah anih te namah kut neh talong lah. Anih pilnu la ka khueh ni,” a ti nah.
Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
19 Te vaengah Pathen loh a mik a tueng sak tih tuito tui a hmuh. Te dongah cet tih tuitang dongah tui a than phoeiah camoe te a tul.
Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
20 Tedae camoe taengah Pathen a om dongah pantai tih khosoek ah kho a sak hatah liva aka kap la coeng.
And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
21 Te phoeiah Paran khosoek ah kho a sak vaengah a yuu te a manu loh Egypt kho lamkah a loh pah.
And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 Te vaengkah tue ah aka om olka te tah Abimelek neh amah kah caempuei mangpa Phikhol loh Abraham te, “Nang kah na saii boeih dongah nang taengah Pathen om taktak.
At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
23 Te dongah na bakuep nah khohmuen ah nang ham sitlohnah ka saii vanbangla kai taengah na saii van tih, kamah neh ka ca taengah, ka cadil taengah khaw rhilat pawt ham Pathen hmaiah kai hamla toemngam laeh,” a ti nah.
Now, therefore, swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
24 Te dongah Abraham loh, “Kamah loh ka toemngam coeng,” a ti.
And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
25 Tedae Abimelek kah sal rhoek loh tuito tui a rhawth pa kongmai dongah Abimelek te Abraham loh a tluung.
But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
26 Tedae Abimelek loh, “Hekah dumlai he u loh a saii khaw ka ming pawt tih nang long khaw kai taengah na puen pawt dongah kai khaw tihnin due ka yaak moenih,” a ti nah.
Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”
27 Te dongah Abraham loh boiva neh saelhung a khuen tih Abimelek te a paek phoeiah amamih rhoi kah moi a boh rhoi.
So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
28 Te phoeiah Abraham loh boiva khuikah tumanu pumrhih te a pai sak.
Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
29 Te dongah Abimelek loh Abraham te, “Hekah tumanu pumrhih he metlae amamih bueng na hoep,” a ti nah.
and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
30 Tedae Abraham loh, “Ka kut lamkah tumanu pumrhih he na doe coeng atah tahae kah tuito ka too dongah kai ham laipai la rhep na om ni,” a ti nah.
He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
31 Tekah hmuen te amih rhoi loh a toemngam rhoi dongah Beersheba tila a sui.
So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
32 Te dongah Beersheba ah moi a boh uh phoeiah Abimelek neh amah kah caempuei mangpa Phikhol khaw thoo uh tih Philisti kho la voei uh.
After they had made the covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army got up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
33 Beersheba ah kolanhlaeng a phung tih kumhal Pathen BOEIPA ming te pahoi a khue.
And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
34 Te dongah Abraham he Philisti kho ah kum a yet bakuep.
And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
