The Lord came to help Sarah as he'd said he would. The Lord did for Sarah what he'd 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.
She became pregnant and had a son for Abraham when he was old, at the exact time God said she would.
3 Te phoeiah anih ham Sarah loh a sak pah amah ca sak, a capa ming te Abraham loh Isaak sui.
Abraham named their son Isaac.
4 Pathen kah a uen vanbangla Abraham loh a capa Isaak te hnin rhet a lo ca vaengah yahhmui a rhet pah.
Abraham circumcised him when Isaac was eight days old, following God's command.
5 Te dongah Abraham kum ya a lo ca vaengah a capa Isaak te amah taengah a cun.
Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born.
6 Tedae Sarah loh, “Pathen loh kai taengah nueihcil han saii he aka ya boeih loh kai taengah nuei van ni,” a ti.
Sarah declared, “God has made me laugh, and all those who hear about 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 also said, “Would anyone have announced to Abraham that Sarah was going to have children to nurse? But now I have had a son for Abraham even when he was old!”
8 Camoe te khaw puel tih suk a kan coeng dongah Abraham loh Isaak kah sukkan khohnin ah buhkoknah muep a saii.
The baby grew up, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a large feast.
9 Tedae Abraham ham Egypt nu Hagar loh a cun a capa loh a nueih thil te Sarah loh a hmuh.
But Sarah noticed that Ishmael, Hagar the Egyptian's son she'd had for Abraham, was making fun of Isaac.
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.
So she went to Abraham and told him, “You have to get rid of this slave woman and this son of hers! A slave woman's son is not going to be one of your heirs and inherit together with my son Isaac!”
11 Tedae a capa kongmai dongah olka he, Abraham mik ah bahoeng lolh.
Abraham felt very bad about it because Ishmael was 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.
But God told Abraham, “Don't feel bad about the boy and the slave woman. Do whatever Sarah tells you, because it's through Isaac that your descendants will be counted.
13 Tedae salnu capa te khaw na tiingan coeng dongah anih te namtom la ka khueh ni,” a ti nah.
Don't worry—I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation because he's your son.”
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.
Abraham got up early the next morning. He packed up some food and a skin of water which he gave to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder. Then he sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered through the Desert of Beersheba.
15 Tedae tuitang khuikah tui te a khawk vaengah camoe te tangpuem pakhat hmuiah sut a voeih.
When the water ran out, 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.
She went and sat down some way off, a few hundred yards away, saying, “I can't bear to watch my son die!” As she sat down she burst into tears.
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.
God heard the boy's cries, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and asked her, “What's the matter, Hagar? Don't be afraid! God has heard the boy crying from where he is.
18 Thoo, camoe te poeh lamtah anih te namah kut neh talong lah. Anih pilnu la ka khueh ni,” a ti nah.
Get up, go over and help the boy up, and encourage him, 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.
God opened her eyes and she saw a well nearby. 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.
God blessed Ishmael and he grew up, living in the desert. He became a skilled archer.
21 Te phoeiah Paran khosoek ah kho a sak vaengah a yuu te a manu loh Egypt kho lamkah a loh pah.
He lived in the Desert of Paran. His mother chose 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.
Around this time Abimelech came with Phicol, the commander of his army, to see Abraham. “God blesses you in everything you do,” Abimelech said.
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.
“So swear to me right here and now that you won't betray me, my children, or my descendants. In the same way I've proved I'm trustworthy to you, do the same to me and my country where you're currently living.”
24 Te dongah Abraham loh, “Kamah loh ka toemngam coeng,” a ti.
“I so swear,” Abraham replied.
25 Tedae Abimelek kah sal rhoek loh tuito tui a rhawth pa kongmai dongah Abimelek te Abraham loh a tluung.
Then Abraham raised an issue with Abimelech of a well that Abimelech's servants had taken 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.
“I don't know who did this, and you didn't mention it before. I haven't heard anything about it until today,” Abimelech responded.
27 Te dongah Abraham loh boiva neh saelhung a khuen tih Abimelek te a paek phoeiah amamih rhoi kah moi a boh rhoi.
Then Abraham gave Abimelech some of his sheep and cattle, and the two of them made an agreement.
28 Te phoeiah Abraham loh boiva khuikah tumanu pumrhih te a pai sak.
Abraham also separated out seven female lambs from the flock.
29 Te dongah Abimelek loh Abraham te, “Hekah tumanu pumrhih he metlae amamih bueng na hoep,” a ti nah.
“What are these seven female lambs for that you've separated from the flock?” Abimelech asked.
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.
“I'm giving you these seven female lambs in return for your admission that I dug this well,” Abraham replied.
31 Tekah hmuen te amih rhoi loh a toemngam rhoi dongah Beersheba tila a sui.
That's why he called the place Beersheba, because the two of them swore and oath to each other.
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 making the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army left and went home to the country of the Philistines.
33 Beersheba ah kolanhlaeng a phung tih kumhal Pathen BOEIPA ming te pahoi a khue.
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and there he worshiped the Lord, the Eternal God.

Abraham lived in the country of the Philistines for a long time.
