< Suencuek 21 >

1 BOEIPA loh a ti bangla Sarah te a hip tih a thui bangla Sarah ham BOEIPA loh a saii.
And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.
2 Pathen loh anih a uen bangla Sarah te vawn tih khoning vaengah tah a patong soi ah Abraham ham capa a cun pah.
And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.
3 Te phoeiah anih ham Sarah loh a sak pah amah ca sak, a capa ming te Abraham loh Isaak sui.
And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.
4 Pathen kah a uen vanbangla Abraham loh a capa Isaak te hnin rhet a lo ca vaengah yahhmui a rhet pah.
And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,
5 Te dongah Abraham kum ya a lo ca vaengah a capa Isaak te amah taengah a cun.
When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born.
6 Tedae Sarah loh, “Pathen loh kai taengah nueihcil han saii he aka ya boeih loh kai taengah nuei van ni,” a ti.
And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it 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.
And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him 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.
And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
9 Tedae Abraham ham Egypt nu Hagar loh a cun a capa loh a nueih thil te Sarah loh a hmuh.
And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the Egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham:
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.
Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.
11 Tedae a capa kongmai dongah olka he, Abraham mik ah bahoeng lolh.
Abraham took this grievously for his son.
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.
And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 Tedae salnu capa te khaw na tiingan coeng dongah anih te namtom la ka khueh ni,” a ti nah.
But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
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.
So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee.
15 Tedae tuitang khuikah tui te a khawk vaengah camoe te tangpuem pakhat hmuiah sut a voeih.
And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.
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.
And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, 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.
And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.
18 Thoo, camoe te poeh lamtah anih te namah kut neh talong lah. Anih pilnu la ka khueh ni,” a ti nah.
Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him 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.
And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to 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 him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.
21 Te phoeiah Paran khosoek ah kho a sak vaengah a yuu te a manu loh Egypt kho lamkah a loh pah.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of 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 the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.
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.
Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger.
24 Te dongah Abraham loh, “Kamah loh ka toemngam coeng,” a ti.
And Abraham said: I will swear.
25 Tedae Abimelek kah sal rhoek loh tuito tui a rhawth pa kongmai dongah Abimelek te Abraham loh a tluung.
And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
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.
And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today.
27 Te dongah Abraham loh boiva neh saelhung a khuen tih Abimelek te a paek phoeiah amamih rhoi kah moi a boh rhoi.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.
28 Te phoeiah Abraham loh boiva khuikah tumanu pumrhih te a pai sak.
And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.
29 Te dongah Abimelek loh Abraham te, “Hekah tumanu pumrhih he metlae amamih bueng na hoep,” a ti nah.
And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?
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.
But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.
31 Tekah hmuen te amih rhoi loh a toemngam rhoi dongah Beersheba tila a sui.
Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because there both of them did swear.
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.
And they made a league for the well of oath.
33 Beersheba ah kolanhlaeng a phung tih kumhal Pathen BOEIPA ming te pahoi a khue.
And Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal.
34 Te dongah Abraham he Philisti kho ah kum a yet bakuep.
And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.
