< Genesis 21 >

1 The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Pea naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻe Sihova kia Sela ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola, pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova kia Sela ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola.
2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
He naʻe tuituʻia ʻa Sela ʻo ne fanauʻi kia ʻEpalahame ʻae tama ʻi heʻene motuʻa, ʻio, ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻae ʻOtua.
3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae hingoa ʻo hono foha naʻe fānau kiate ia, ʻaia naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe Sela kiate ia, ko ʻAisake.
4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Pea naʻe kamu ʻe ʻEpalahame hono foha ko ʻAisake ʻi hono ʻaho valu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia,
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
Pea naʻe teau taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAisake kiate ia.
6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sela, “Kuo fakakata au ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻe kata mo au ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻe fanongo ai.”
7 She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai ia naʻe teitei pehē kia ʻEpalahame, ʻe fakahuhu ʻe Sela ha fānau? He kuo u fāʻeleʻi ha tama kiate ia ʻi heʻene motuʻa.”
8 The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻae tama, pea māvae ia, pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae kātoanga lahi ʻi he ʻaho naʻe māvae ai ʻa ʻAisake.
9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Sela ki he tama ʻa Hekaʻā ko e fefine ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia ʻEpalahame, ʻoku manuki.
10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”
Ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai kia ʻEpalahame, “Kapusi ʻae fefine pōpula ni mo ʻene tama: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai fakataha ʻae tama ʻae fefine pōpula ni, mo ʻeku tama ko ʻAisake.”
11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
Pea ko e meʻa fakamamahi lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻEpalahame, koeʻuhi ko hono foha.
12 God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame, “ʻOua naʻa ke mamahi koeʻuhi ko e tama, pe koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fefine kaunanga ka ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sela ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ne lea ai kiate koe koeʻuhi ʻe ui ia ʻAisake pe ʻa ho hako.
13 I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
Pea te u fakatupu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he tama ʻae fefine kaunanga, koeʻuhi ko ho hako ia.”
14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo ne ʻomi ʻae mā mo e hina vai, ʻo ne ʻatu kia Hekaʻā, pea ne ai ia ki hono uma pea mo e tama, ʻo ne fekau ia ke ʻalu; pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo he fano pe ʻi he toafa ʻo Peasipa.
15 The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
Pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻae vai ʻi he hina, naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae tama ʻi he lolo ʻakau ʻe taha.
16 She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Do not let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
Ka ka ʻalu ia ʻo nofo fakahangatonu mai mei he mamaʻo ʻo tatau nai mo e touʻanga ngahau kuo fana; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia; “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻaku mamata ki he pekia ʻae tama, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻo hangatonu kiate ia, pea hiki hake ʻe ia hono leʻo ʻo tangi.”
17 God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
Pea ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻoe tamasiʻi; pea lea mai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua kia Hekaʻā mei he langi ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamahi ai Hekaʻā? ʻOua te ke manavahē: he kuo ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻoe tamasiʻi mei he potu na.
18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
Tuʻu, pea hiki hake ʻae tamasiʻi pea fafa ia ho nima: he te u ngaohi ia ko e puleʻanga lahi.”
19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
Pea naʻe fakaʻā ʻe he ʻOtua hono mata, pea naʻe mamata ia ki he matavai: pea ʻalu ia ʻo fakafonu ʻae hina ʻaki ʻae vai, pea ne fakainu ʻae tamasiʻi.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.
Pea naʻe kau ʻae ʻOtua ki he tamasiʻi pea tupu ia, pea ne nofo ʻi he toafa, pea hoko ia ko e tangata fana.
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
Pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he toafa ʻo Palani: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻene faʻē, ʻae uaifi kiate ia mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
22 At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻe lea kia ʻEpalahame ʻa ʻApimeleki, mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki lahi ia ʻo ʻene kautau, ʻo pehē: “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai;
23 Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
Pea ko eni, ke ke fuakava kiate au ʻi he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ke fai kākā kiate au, pe ki hoku foha, pe ki he foha ʻo hoku foha, ka ke fai kiate au, mo e fonua, ʻaia kuo ke nofo ʻāunofo ki ai, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻofa kiate koe.”
24 Abraham said, “I will swear.”
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Te u fuakava.”
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Pea naʻe valoki ʻe ʻEpalahame kia ʻApimeleki, koeʻuhi ko e vai keli naʻe faʻao fakamālohi ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻApimeleki.
26 Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing. You did not tell me, and I did not hear of it until today.”
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻApimeleki, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hai kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tala mai ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fanongo ki ai, ka ko e ʻaho ni pe.”
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, ʻo ne foaki ia kia ʻApimeleki; pea naʻe fai ʻekinaua ʻae fuakava;
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Pea naʻe vaheʻi mo tuku kehe ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae lami fefine ʻe fitu.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”
Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻEpalahame; “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe lami fefine ʻe fitu kuo ke vaheʻi mo tuku kehe?”
30 He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”
Pea ne pehē, “Ke ke toʻo ia ʻo ʻave mei hoku nima, ʻae lami fefine ʻe fitu ko ia, koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻoni ia kiate au, naʻaku keli ʻae vai.
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.
Ko ia naʻa ne ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Peasipa: koeʻuhi naʻa na fefuakava ʻi ai;
32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
Naʻe pehē ʻena fai ʻae fuakava ʻi Peasipa: pea tuʻu hake ʻa ʻApimeleki mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki lahi ʻo ʻene kautau, pea na toe ō ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
Pea naʻe tō ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻi Peasipa, pea naʻe ui ai ia ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻOtua taʻengata;
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
Pea naʻe ʻāunofo ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.
