< Genesis 21 >
1 And the Lord came to Sarah as he had said and did to her as he had undertaken.
Onyenwe anyị jiri amara leta Sera dịka o kwuru na ọ ga-eme. Onyenwe anyị meere Sera ihe o kwere na nkwa.
2 And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God.
Sera tụụrụ ime, mụọra Ebraham nwa nwoke nʼoge o merela agadi. Ọ mụrụ ya nʼoge ahụ a kara aka Chineke kwere ya na nkwa.
3 And Abraham gave to his son, to whom Sarah had given birth, the name Isaac.
Ebraham gụrụ nwantakịrị ahụ Sera mụụrụ ya aha, kpọọ ya Aịzik.
4 And when his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham made him undergo circumcision, as God had said to him.
Mgbe Aịzik nọrọ ụbọchị asatọ site nʼụbọchị a mụrụ ya, Ebraham biri ya ugwu dịka Chineke si nye ya nʼiwu.
5 Now Abraham was a hundred years old when the birth of Isaac took place.
Ebraham agbaala narị afọ mgbe a mụrụ Aịzik nwa ya nwoke.
6 And Sarah said, God has given me cause for laughing, and everyone who has news of it will be laughing with me.
Nʼoge ahụ, Sera kwuru sị, “Chineke ewetarala m ọchị. Ndị niile nụrụ akụkọ a ga-esoro m chịa ọchị.”
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.
O kwukwara sị, “Onye gaara agwa Ebraham sị ya na Sera ga-azụlite ụmụntakịrị. Ma otu ọ dị, amụtarala m ya nwa nwoke ugbu a o merela agadi.”
8 And when the child was old enough to be taken from the breast, Abraham made a great feast.
Nwata ahụ tokwara, ruo mgbe a kwụsịrị ya ara. Nʼụbọchị ahụ a kwụsịrị ya ara, Ebraham kpọrọ oriri.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with Isaac.
Ma mgbe Sera hụrụ na nwa nwoke ahụ Hega onye Ijipt mụtaara Ebraham nọ na-akwa emo,
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.
ọ gwara Ebraham okwu sị ya, “Chụpụ ohu nwanyị a na nwa ya. Nʼihi na nwa nwoke ohu nwanyị agaghị eso nwa m nwoke Aịzik keta oke nʼihe nketa.”
11 And this was a great grief to Abraham because of his son.
Okwu a wutere Ebraham nke ukwuu nʼihi na ihe banyere nwa ya nwoke Ishmel na-emetụ ya nʼobi.
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.
Ma Chineke gwara Ebraham sị, “Ekwela ka obi jọọ gị njọ nʼihi nwantakịrị a na ohu gị nwanyị. Gee ntị nʼihe ọbụla Sera gwara gị. Nʼihi na ọ bụ site nʼAịzik ka a ga-akpọ mkpụrụ gị aha.
13 And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed.
Aga m eme ka nwa gị nwoke nke ohu gị mụtara ghọọ mba dị ukwuu, nʼihi na mkpụrụ afọ gị ka ọ bụ.”
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.
Ebraham biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, kwadoo ihe oriri na mmiri ọṅụṅụ nke dị nʼime karama akpụkpọ, bunye ha Hega. O bukwasịrị ha nʼubu Hega, zipụ ya na nwa ya nwoke. Hega si nʼebe ahụ pụọ wagharịa nʼime ọzara Bịasheba.
15 And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.
Mgbe mmiri dị na karama akpụkpọ ahụ gwụsịrị, o nibere nwantakịrị ahụ nʼokpuru otu osisi ọhịa.
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.
Hapụ ya gaa nọdụ ala nʼebe dịtụ anya, ihe dịka narị nzọ ụkwụ, nʼihi na o kwuru nʼobi ya sị, “Achọghị m ịhụ nwantakịrị nwoke a anya mgbe ọ na-anwụ.” Mgbe ọ nọdụrụ ebe ahụ, o bidoro ịkwa akwa.
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.
Ma Chineke nụrụ ịkwa akwa nwantakịrị nwoke ahụ. Mmụọ ozi Chineke sikwa na mbara eluigwe kpọọ Hega oku sị ya, “Hega, gịnị na-eme gị? Atụla egwu, nʼihi na Chineke anụla olu akwa nwantakịrị ahụ nʼebe ahụ o dina.
18 Come, take your child in your arms, for I will make of him a great nation.
Gaa kulite nwantakịrị ahụ kasịe ya obi, nʼihi na aga m eme ya ka ọ ghọọ mba dị ukwuu.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Chineke meghere anya ya, mee ka ọ hụ olulu mmiri dị nʼebe ahụ. Ọ gara kujuo karama akpụkpọ ahụ mmiri, ma nye nwantakịrị ahụ mmiri ka ọ ṅụọ.
20 And God was with the boy, and he became tall and strong, and he became a bowman, living in the waste land.
Chineke nọnyeere nwantakịrị ahụ mgbe ọ na-eto. O biri nʼọzara ahụ ghọọ onye na-agba àkụ nke ọma.
21 And while he was in the waste land of Paran, his mother got him a wife from the land of Egypt.
Mgbe o bi nʼọzara Paran, nne ya chọtaara ya nwunye site nʼIjipt.
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.
Nʼoge a, Abimelek na Fikọl onyeisi ndị agha ya, bịakwutere Ebraham sị ya, “Chineke nọnyeere gị nʼihe niile ị na-eme.
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.
Ugbu a, ṅụọra m iyi nʼaha Chineke na ị gaghị aghọgbu m maọbụ ghọgbuo ụmụ m, maọbụ ụmụ ụmụ m. Gosi m nʼobodo a i bi nʼime ya dịka onye ọbịa ụdị obiọma m gosiri gị.”
24 And Abraham said, I will give you my oath.
Ebraham zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, aga m aṅụrụ gị iyi.”
25 But Abraham made a protest to Abimelech because of a water-hole which Abimelech's servants had taken by force.
Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham kọsaara Abimelek ihe banyere olulu mmiri nke ndị na-ejere ya ozi ji anya ike nara ndị na-ejere Ebraham ozi.
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.
Abimelek zara sị, “Amaghị m onye mere ihe dị otu a. Ị gwaghị m na ihe dị otu a mere, anụghị m ya ma ọ bụghị naanị taa.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made an agreement together.
Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham kpụpụtara atụrụ, na ehi, nye Abimelek. Ha abụọ gbara ndụ nkwekọrịta.
28 And Abraham put seven young lambs of the flock on one side by themselves.
Mgbe Ebraham sitere nʼigwe atụrụ ya wepụta nne atụrụ asaa nupu ha ka ha nọpụ iche,
29 Then Abimelech said, What are these seven lambs which you have put on one side?
Abimelek jụrụ Ebraham sị ya, “Gịnị ka i ji nne atụrụ asaa ndị a ị họpụtara iche eme?”
30 And he said, Take these seven lambs from me as a witness that I have made this water-hole.
Ebraham zara sị, “Nabata ụmụ atụrụ asaa ndị a dịka ihe akaebe na-egosi na ọ bụ m gwuru olulu mmiri a.”
31 So he gave that place the name Beer-sheba, because there the two of them had given their oaths.
Ya mere, e bidoro ịkpọ ebe ahụ Bịasheba, nʼihi na nʼebe ahụ ka mmadụ abụọ a nọ ṅụrịtaara onwe ha iyi.
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.
Mgbe ha gbachara ndụ nkwekọrịta na Bịasheba, Abimelek na Fikọl onyeisi agha ya laghachiri azụ nʼala ndị Filistia.
33 And Abraham, after planting a holy tree in Beer-sheba, gave worship to the name of the Lord, the Eternal God.
Ebraham kụrụ osisi tamarisk na Bịasheba. Ebe ahụ ka ọ nọ kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ebighị ebi.
34 And Abraham went on living in the land of the Philistines as in a strange country.
Ebraham bigidere nʼala ndị Filistia ogologo oge.
