Genesis 21
1 And the Lord came to Sarah as he had said and did to her as he had undertaken.
Azɔ Yehowa ve Sara nu abe ale si wògblɔ ene, eye Yehowa wɔ eƒe ŋugbedodo dzi na Sara.
2 And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God.
Sara fɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi na Abraham le eƒe amegãkuku me ɖe ɣeyiɣi si dzi tututu Mawu do ŋugbe nɛ la dzi.
3 And Abraham gave to his son, to whom Sarah had given birth, the name Isaac.
Abraham na ŋkɔ ɖevi si Sara dzi nɛ la be, Isak si gɔmee nye, “Nukoko.”
4 And when his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham made him undergo circumcision, as God had said to him.
Esi via, Isak, xɔ ŋkeke enyi la, Abraham tso aʋa nɛ abe ale si Mawu ɖo nɛ ene.
5 Now Abraham was a hundred years old when the birth of Isaac took place.
Abraham xɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka esi wodzi Isak nɛ.
6 And Sarah said, God has given me cause for laughing, and everyone who has news of it will be laughing with me.
Tete Sara gblɔ be, “Mawu do nukokoe nam. Ame sia ame si ase nye nya sia la akpɔ dzidzɔ kplim.
7 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would have a child at her breast? for see, I have given him a son now when he is old.
Elabena ame kae abui kpɔ be nye Sara hã madzi vi? Ke medzi ŋutsuvi na Abraham le eƒe tsitsime!”
8 And when the child was old enough to be taken from the breast, Abraham made a great feast.
Ɖevi la tsi, eye wotso no nɛ. Gbe si gbe wotso no na Isak la, Abraham ɖo kplɔ̃ gã aɖe le dzidzɔɣeyiɣi sia dzi.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with Isaac.
Ke esi Sara kpɔ Ismael, Abraham kple Egipte nyɔnu, Hagar ƒe vi wònɔ Isak kom la,
10 So she said to Abraham, Send away that woman and her son: for the son of that woman is not to have a part in the heritage with my son Isaac.
egblɔ na Abraham be, “Na kosivi ma kple via nadzo le afi sia. Via manyi wò dome kple vinye Isak gbeɖegbeɖe o.”
11 And this was a great grief to Abraham because of his son.
Nu sia na Abraham tɔtɔ ŋutɔ, elabena via kee nye Ismael hã.
12 But God said, Let it not be a grief to you because of the boy and Hagar his mother; give ear to whatever Sarah says to you, because it is from Isaac that your seed will take its name.
Ke Mawu gblɔ na Abraham be, “Mègatɔtɔ o, eye mègaxa nu le ŋutsuvi la kple srɔ̃wò kosi la ta o. Wɔ nu si Sara ɖo na wò la, elabena Isak me wò dzidzimeviwo adzɔ tso.
13 And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed.
Ke mana nyɔnu kosivi ƒe vi la hã ƒe dzidzimeviwo nazu dukɔ gã aɖe, elabena viwò eya hã nye.”
14 And early in the morning Abraham got up, and gave Hagar some bread and a water-skin, and put the boy on her back, and sent her away: and she went, wandering in the waste land of Beer-sheba.
Ale Abraham fɔ ŋdi kanya, tsɔ nuɖuɖu kple tsi na Hagar, eye wòdo mɔ eya kple wo vi Ismael. Hagar zɔ mɔ kple via yi gbedzi le Beerseba. Menya afi si tututu wòyina o.
15 And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.
Esi tsia vɔ la, etsɔ ɖevi la mlɔ ati kpɔyɔe aɖe te,
16 And she went some distance away, about an arrow flight, and seating herself on the earth, she gave way to bitter weeping, saying, Let me not see the death of my child.
eye wòyi ɖanɔ anyi ɖe adzɔge abe abɔ alafa ɖeka lɔƒo ene tso ɖevi la gbɔ. Egblɔ be, “Nyemedi be manɔ ɖevi la kpɔm wòaku o,” eye wòde asi avifafa me hehehe.
17 And the boy's cry came to the ears of God; and the angel of God said to Hagar from heaven, Hagar, why are you weeping? have no fear, for the child's cry has come to the ears of God.
Tete Mawu se ɖevi la ƒe avifafa, eye mawudɔla aɖe yɔ Hagar tso dziƒo gblɔ nɛ be, “Hagar, nya kae dzɔ? Mègavɔ̃ o! Mawu se ɖevi la ƒe avifafa le afi si wòmlɔ la.
18 Come, take your child in your arms, for I will make of him a great nation.
Yi nàtsɔ ɖevi la, eye nàfa akɔ nɛ, elabena mawɔ eƒe dzidzimeviwo woazu dukɔ gã aɖe.”
19 Then God made her eyes open, and she saw a water-spring, and she got water in the skin and gave the boy a drink.
Mawu ʋu Hagar ƒe ŋkuwo, eye wòkpɔ vudo aɖe le afi ma. Eku tsi ɖe eƒe tsigolo me, eye wòna ɖe ɖevi la wòno.
20 And God was with the boy, and he became tall and strong, and he became a bowman, living in the waste land.
Mawu nɔ kple ɖevi la, eye wòtsi. Enɔ gbedzi, eye wòzu aŋutrɔdala.
21 And while he was in the waste land of Paran, his mother got him a wife from the land of Egypt.
Esi wònɔ Paran Gbegbe la, dadaa ɖe srɔ̃ nɛ tso Egipte.
22 Now at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, said to Abraham, I see that God is with you in all you do.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Fia Abimelek kple eƒe aʋafia Pixol va Abraham gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Eme kɔ ƒãa be Mawu li kpli wò le nu sia nu si nèwɔna la me.
23 Now, then, give me your oath, in the name of God, that you will not be false to me or to my sons after me, but that as I have been good to you, so you will be to me and to this land where you have been living.
Ka atam nam le Mawu ŋkume be yemaba nye ŋutɔ alo vinye ŋutsu alo nye tɔgbuiyɔvi o, ke boŋ be yeanɔ anyi kple nye dukɔ le nɔvilɔlɔ̃ me abe ale si mele ɖe ŋuwò ene.”
24 And Abraham said, I will give you my oath.
Abraham ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, meka atam sia!”
25 But Abraham made a protest to Abimelech because of a water-hole which Abimelech's servants had taken by force.
Abraham na nutsotso fia Abimelek tso ale si fia la ƒe subɔlawo xɔ vudo aɖe le eƒe subɔlawo si sesẽtɔe la ŋuti.
26 But Abimelech said, I have no idea who has done this thing; you never gave me word of it, and I had no knowledge of it till this day.
Fia Abimelek ɖi vo, eye wògblɔ be, “Esiae nye zi gbãtɔ si mese nya aɖe tso nu sia ŋu, eye nyemenya ame si wɔ nu sia hã o. Nu ka ta mègblɔe nam kpɔ o?”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made an agreement together.
Abraham tsɔ alẽwo kple nyiwo na Fia Abimelek abe vɔsa ene hetsɔ ɖo kpe woƒe nubabla la dzi.
28 And Abraham put seven young lambs of the flock on one side by themselves.
Abraham ɖe alẽvi adre tso eƒe lãhawo me ɖe aga,
29 Then Abimelech said, What are these seven lambs which you have put on one side?
eye Abimelek bia Abraham be, “Alẽvi adre siawo nèɖe ɖe aga la gɔme ɖe?”
30 And he said, Take these seven lambs from me as a witness that I have made this water-hole.
Abraham ɖo eŋu be, “Esiae nye nye nunana na wò be wòanye kpeɖodzi le amewo ŋkume be nyee ɖe vudo sia.”
31 So he gave that place the name Beer-sheba, because there the two of them had given their oaths.
Ale tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, woyɔa vudo la be Beerseba si gɔmee nye “Atamvudo,” elabena afi ma woka atam, eye wowɔ woƒe nubabla la le.
32 So they made an agreement at Beer-sheba, and Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, went back to the land of the Philistines.
Le atamkaka le Beerseba megbe la, Fia Abimelek kple eƒe aʋakplɔla, Pixol trɔ yi aƒe.
33 And Abraham, after planting a holy tree in Beer-sheba, gave worship to the name of the Lord, the Eternal God.
Abraham do ati aɖe ɖe Beerseba eye wòdo gbe ɖa na Yehowa Mawu mavɔ la be wòanye ɖasefo le nubabla sia me.
34 And Abraham went on living in the land of the Philistines as in a strange country.
Eye Abraham nɔ Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe.
