Chakruok 21
1 Koro Jehova Nyasaye notimo ngʼwono ne Sara kaka nosewacho kendo Jehova Nyasaye nochopo kare singruok mane osenyiso Sara.
Yahweh was very kind to Sarah, just as he said he would be. He did for Sarah exactly what he promised to do.
2 Sara nomako ich kendo nonywolone Ibrahim wuowi ka Ibrahim hike oniangʼ, mana e kinde mane Nyasaye osingore.
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Abraham when he was very old, at the time God promised it would happen.
3 Ibrahim nochako wuowi mane Sara onywolone ni Isaka.
Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to.
4 Kane wuode Isaka nigi ndalo aboro, Ibrahim notere nyangu kaka Nyasaye nochike.
Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do.
5 Ibrahim ne ja-higni mia achiel kane onywol Isaka wuode.
Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
6 Sara nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osekelona mor kendo ji duto mowinjo ma biro bedo mamor koda.”
And Sarah said, “[Although I was sad before because I did not have any children], God has now enabled me to laugh, and everyone who hears about what God has done for me will laugh with me.”
7 Kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Ngʼama dine nyis Ibrahim ni Sara didhodh nyathi? To koro asenywolone wuowi ka en ngʼama oti.”
Then she also said, “No one would have said to Abraham that some day Sarah would nurse a child, but I have given birth to a son when Abraham is very old.”
8 Nyathino nodongo kendo nowe dhoth, kendo chiengʼ mane Isaka oweyoe dhoth Ibrahim notimo nyasi maduongʼ.
The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.
9 Chiengʼ moro Sara noneno ka Ishmael mane Hagar nyar Misri onywolo ne Ibrahim ka jotugo gi Isaka kendo jare.
([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.
10 Omiyo Sara nowacho ne Ibrahim niya, “Riemb dhako ma misumbani kod wuode, nimar wuod dhako ma misumbani ok nobed jacham girkeni kaachiel gi wuoda Isaka.”
So she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman from Egypt and her son! I do not want the son of that slave woman to be alone (OR, to be an heir along with) my son, Isaac!”
11 Gino nochwanyo Ibrahim ahinya nikech wachno neni kuom wuode.
Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].
12 To Nyasaye nowacho ne Ibrahim niya, “Kik chunyi bed gi chwanyruok nikech wuodi Ishmael kod jatichni madhako, Hagar. Winj gimoro amora ma Sara jaodi wachoni; nikech kuom wuodi Isaka ema kothi duto nowuogie.
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about your son, Ishmael, and about your maidservant, Hagar. Do everything that Sarah tells you to do. Listen to her, because Isaac is the one who will be considered the ancestor of the descendants I promised to give you.
13 Abiro miyo wuod jatichni madhako bed oganda maduongʼ nikech en bende en rembi.”
But I will also cause the son of your maidservant to be the ancestor of the people of a great nation [MTY], because he is also your son.”
14 Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich Ibrahim nokawo chiemo kod puga mar pi kendo nomiyo Hagar. Noketonegi e goke kendo ogole odhi gi wuode. Hagar nowuok modhi kendo nobayo abaya e thim mar Bersheba.
So Abraham got up early the next morning. He got some food ready, put water in a container, and gave them to Hagar. He put them [in a bag] on her shoulder and sent them away. They wandered in the desert near Beersheba [town].
15 Ka pi mane ni e puga norumo, noketo nyathi e tiend bungu.
After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.
16 Eka nowuotho odhi nyime kama dirom fut adek kendo nobedo piny kanyo, mi nowacho e chunye niya, “Ok anyal rango nyathi katho.” Kendo kane obet machiegni kanyo, nyathi nochako ywak.
Then she went and sat nearby, about (as far as someone can shoot an arrow/100 meters away), because she thought, “I cannot endure seeing my son die!” As she sat there, she began to cry [loudly] [MTY].
17 Nyasaye nowinjo nyathi kaywak kendo malaika mar Nyasaye noluongo Hagar gie polo kendo owachone niya, “Angʼo marach, Hagar? Kik iluor; Nyasaye osewinjo nyathi kaywak kama onindeno.
[The boy was crying too.] And God heard the boy crying. So he caused one of his angels to call out from heaven to Hagar, saying, “Hagar, are you worried about something? Do not be afraid, because God has heard the boy crying there.
18 Kaw nyathi kendo itingʼe, nikech anami nyikwaye obed oganda maduongʼ.”
Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
19 Eka Nyasaye noyawo wengene kendo oneno soko mar pi. Kuom mano nodhi mopongʼo puga gi pi kendo nomiyo nyathi omodho.
Then God showed her a well of water. So she went to the well and filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
20 Nyasaye ne ni kod wuowino kane odongo kendo nodak e thim mobedo jadwar molony.
God helped the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became a good (archer/man who hunts with bow and arrows).
21 Kane odak e thim mar Paran, min mare noyudone nyako mokendo koa e piny Misri.
He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.
22 E kindeno Abimelek kod Fikol jatend jolweny mar Abimelek nowacho ne Ibrahim niya, “Nyasaye ni kodi e gimoro amora mitimo.
At that time, [King] Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “It is clear that God helps you with everything that you do.
23 Koro kwongʼrina e nyim Nyasaye kawuono ni ok nitimna gimoro marach kata ne nyithinda kata ne nyikwaya. Emomiyo koro timna ngʼwono kaachiel gi pinyni ma intie kaka jadak mana kaka an bende ne atimoni maber.”
So now (solemnly promise/swear) to me here, as God is listening, that you will (not deceive/act fairly to) me and my children and my descendants, in return for my being kind to you. Be kind to me and to all the people here in the country where you are now living.”
24 Ibrahim nodwoke niya, “Asingora ni anatim kamano.”
So Abraham promised to do that.
25 Ibrahim nonyiso Abimelek chandruok mar soko mar pi ma jotich Abimelek nomaye githuon.
[Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
26 To Abimelek nowacho niya, “Ok angʼeyo ngʼama osetimo mae. Ne ok inyisa, ma kawuono ema akwongo winje.”
But Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done that. You did not tell me previously, and I did not hear about it until today.”
27 Kuom mano Ibrahim nokelo rombe kod dhok mi omiyogi Abimelek, kendo ji ariyogi notimo singruok.
So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
28 Ibrahim nowalo rombe ma sibini abiriyo mag kwethge,
Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
29 kendo Abimelek nopenjo Ibrahim niya, “Ere tiend rombe ma sibini abiriyo ma isewalogi?”
Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
30 Ibrahim nodwoke niya, “Kaw nyirombe abiriyogi kaka ranyisi ni nakunyo sokoni.”
Abraham replied, “I want you truly to accept these female lambs from me [SYN], so that it may be a (public witness/proof) that this well belongs to me because I dug it.”
31 Mano emomiyo kanyo iluongo ni Bersheba nikech ji ariyogo notimo singruok kanyo.
So Abimelech accepted the animals, and as a result they called that place Beersheba, [which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’, ] because there the two of them made that agreement.
32 Bangʼ ka winjruok nosetim Bersheba, Abimelek kod Fikol ma jatend jolwenje nodok e piny jo-Filistia.
After they made the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and his army commander, Phicol, left, and returned to the land of the Philistine people-group.
33 Ibrahim nopidho yien moro Bersheba, kendo kanyo noluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasaye manyaka chiengʼ.
Abraham planted a (tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel) there, and he worshiped the eternal God there.
34 Kendo Ibrahim nodak e piny jo-Filistia kuom kinde mangʼeny.
Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
