Semtilbu 21
1 Pakaiyin ana seisa bang chun Sarah ahung vil in Sarah chunga asuh bulhit peh tai.
Then the Lord visited Sarah, just as he had promised; and he fulfilled what he had spoken.
2 Hichun Sarah in nao ahin vop'in, Abraham chu atehset nung in Pathen in atep peh phat don tah in chapa khat ahin pe tan ahi.
And she conceived and gave birth to a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold to her.
3 Abraham'in achapa chu amin Isaac asah tan ahi.
And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sarah bore for him, Isaac.
4 Chule Isaac pen jou niget alhin nin Abraham'in Pathen thupeh bang in achapa chu chep atan pehtai.
And he circumcised him on the eighth day, just as God had instructed him,
5 Isaac ahung pen chun, Apa Abraham chu kum jakhat ana lhing tai.
when he was one hundred years old. Indeed, at this stage of his father’s life, Isaac was born.
6 Chuin Sarah in aphong doh in, “Pathen in nuina eipei,” ati.
And Sarah said: “God has brought laughter to me. Whoever will hear of it will laugh with me.”
7 Chule aman, “Sarah hin chale nao noi hin chep sah inte tin koipen in Abraham kom a ana sei ngam dem? ahin lah keiman atehset nung in chapa khat kahin peh tai,” ati.
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 Isaac chu ahung khanglen diu in an neh masa pen Abraham'in kipanan kikhop na asem e.
And the boy grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
9 Hichun Sarah in jong achapa chu Egypt mi Hagar'in Abraham ahinpeh Ishmael to aki chep lhon chu amudoh tai.
And when Sarah had seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with her son Isaac, she said to Abraham:
10 Hichun amanun Abraham kom ah hitin aseiye, “Hiche sohnu le achapa chu solmang in ajeh chu hiche chapang hin keima chapa toh chanvou anei khom lhon ding aum poi; Isaac toh ki komto thei lou ding ahi.”
“Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman servant will not be heir with my son Isaac.”
11 Hichun Abraham'in nopmo asa lheh jeng in ajeh chu Ishmael jong chu achapa ahiye.
Abraham took this grievously, for the sake of his son.
12 Hinlah Pathen in Abraham chu ahoulimpi in, “Nangman chapang chung chang chule na sohnu jeh in ima lungphat mo na nei hih in, Sarah in bol in atiho chu bol in ajeh chu Isaac akonna bou na chilhah te hung kisim ding bou ahi.”
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 Hinlah keiman Hagar chapa jong chu nam lentah khat kaso thou thou ding ahi. Ajeh chu amapa jong chu nangma chapa jong ahi thouve.”
Yet I will also make the son of the woman servant into a great nation, for he is your offspring.”
14 Hichun Abraham ajing in matah in akithou vin, neh ding bu asutup'in chule twipoh na ding twibom Hagar chu apen aleng kouva aledoh peh tan ahi, hichun amanu le achapa chu asolmang in, chuin Hagar chu suhna ding helouvin Beersheba gamthip noiya avah lelei.
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 Hichun twi ahung bei chun amanu (Hagar) chun naosen chu hampa nang boh lim noi ah akoi tai.
And when the water in the skin had been consumed, she set aside the boy, under one of the trees that were there.
16 Hichun amanu (Hagar) apot doh in atou lha tan achang seh in lamsom tobang kikah in “Keiman hiche chapang thi hi kamu nompoi,” atin amanu chu alhi along in akap tai.
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 Hinlah Pathen in chapang ka awgin chu ajan chuin Pakai Vantil in vanna kon in Hagar chu ahin kouvin, “Hagar ipi boina nanei ham? Imacha kichatna nei hih in, Pathen in chapang ka awgin chu ajatai aumna muna kon in ati.
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 Kipat doh inlang nao khu gaki dop loiyin na khut in kipom chah jon, ijeh inem itile keiman ama khu nam lentah ka hisah ding ahi.”
Rise up. Take the boy and hold him by the hand. For I will make of him a great nation.”
19 Hichun Pathen in Hagar mit chu kho amusah in chua twi tamtah amusah tan, hichun amanun gangtah in twipai chu asu dim in chapang chu adon sah tai.
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 Chule chapang chu Pathen in ahin umpi jing in neocha ahi apat gamthip gamnoi jenga ahung cheng in, thalpi kap ahung them lheh jeng in ahi.
And God was with him. And he grew, and he stayed in the wilderness, and he became a young man, an archer.
21 Chule Ishmael chu Paran gamthip noi a ana cheng in, chule anun Egypt gam'a ama ji ding in numei khat aga pui peh in ahi.
And he lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 Hiche phat laitah chun Abimelech le asepai jalamkai Phicol chu Abraham vil din ahung'e. “Pathen in nangma hi na umpi jing in, na thilbol na jouse ah na kithopi jinge,” tin ahung seiye.
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 Pathen min'in kitem in, chule nei joulhep louhel ding, ka chate jong ahilou leh ka chilhah ho jong, kei vang nangma adia thilpha bolnom jing, chule tuhin naki hahsel ding, thilpha na bol jing ding hiche gam-sunga maljin gampam nahi laisen,” ati.
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'in adonbut in “Heng'e kaki tem e,” ati.
And Abraham said, “I will swear.”
25 Hichun Abraham'in Abimelech komma lunglhai louna aphong doh in Abimelech sohten twikul namphu a Abraham sohte ana lah peh'u thu chu ahi.
And he reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
26 “Tuchung hi hiche thu kajah masah pen ahi,” tin Abimelech in a donbut'e. “Keiman hiche chungchang hi koi oimo a, koi ngoh ding ham kahepoi. Ajeh chu phat masan ima thu nana sei kha poi,” ati.
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'in hichun akelngoi ho, kelcha ho, chule bonghon ho Abimelech apen kinop tona anei lhon'e.
And so Abraham took sheep and oxen, and he gave them to Abimelech. And both of them struck a pact.
28 Hichun Abraham'in kelngoi nou sagi ho chu achom a alheng doh'in ahi.
And Abraham set aside seven female lambs from the flock.
29 Abimelech in Abraham chu adonbut in “Hiche Kelngoi nou sagi ho hi ipi tina ham? amaho hina tum lhen doh in,” ati.
Abimelech said to him, “What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?”
30 Abraham'in adonbut in, “Hiche twikhuh keiman ka laisa ahi, tia ahetoh aneipan peh na dinga hiche kelngoi pi sagi hi keima khut tah a na kisan ding ahi,” ati.
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 Hijeh chun ama in hiche mun chun Beersheba asah tai. Ajeh chu mihem teni akihet tona mun lhon ahiye.
For this reason, that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them did swear.
32 Beersheba mun a kihet tona muna aki muto jouvin, Abimelech le Phicol sepai lamkai pachu Philistine mun lama akinung le lhon tan ahi.
And they initiated a pact on behalf of the well of oath.
33 Abraham'in Beersheba mun achun chahthing phung aphutdoh in, hiche achun aman Pathen chu tonsot Pathen ahi tin aphong doh e.
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 Hichun Abraham chu Phillistine muna chun phat sottah achengin ahi.
And he was a settler in the land of the Palestinians for many days.
