Genesis 21
1 Then the Lord visited Sarah, just as he had promised; and he fulfilled what he had spoken.
Yehova anakomera mtima Sara monga ananenera, ndipo Yehovayo anachita monga momwe analonjezera.
2 And she conceived and gave birth to a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold to her.
Sara anakhala ndi pathupi ndipo anamuberekera Abrahamu mwana wamwamuna mu ukalamba wake, pa nyengo imene Mulungu anamulonjeza.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sarah bore for him, Isaac.
Abrahamu anapereka dzina loti Isake kwa mwana wamwamuna amene Sara anamuberekera.
4 And he circumcised him on the eighth day, just as God had instructed him,
Isake atakwanitsa masiku asanu ndi atatu, Abrahamu anamuchita mdulidwe monga Mulungu anamulamulira.
5 when he was one hundred years old. Indeed, at this stage of his father’s life, Isaac was born.
Abrahamu anali ndi 100 pamene mwana wake Isake anabadwa.
6 And Sarah said: “God has brought laughter to me. Whoever will hear of it will laugh with me.”
Sara anati, “Mulungu wandibweretsera mseko, ndipo aliyense amene adzamva zimenezi adzaseka nane pamodzi.”
7 And again, she said: “Hearing this, who would believe Abraham, that Sarah breast-fed a son, to whom she gave birth, despite being elderly?”
Ndipo anawonjezera kuti, “Ndani akanamuwuza Abrahamu kuti Sara nʼkudzayamwitsako ana? Chonsecho ndamubalira mwana wamwamuna kuwukalamba wake.”
8 And the boy grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
Mwana uja anakula mpaka kumuletsa kuyamwa. Tsiku lomuletsa Isake kuyamwa, Abrahamu anakonza phwando lalikulu.
9 And when Sarah had seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with her son Isaac, she said to Abraham:
Koma Sara anaona kuti mwana wamwamuna amene Hagara Mwigupto anamuberekera Abrahamu amamuseka,
10 “Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman servant will not be heir with my son Isaac.”
ndipo anati kwa Abrahamu, “Muchotse mdzakazi ndi mwana wake wamwamunayu, pakuti mwana wa kapolo sadzagawana chuma ndi mwana wanga Isake.”
11 Abraham took this grievously, for the sake of his son.
Nkhaniyi inamumvetsa chisoni kwambiri Abrahamu chifukwa imakhudza mwana wake.
12 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.
Koma Mulungu anamuwuza Abrahamu kuti, “Usamve chisoni motero ndi mnyamatayu ndi mdzakazi wakoyu. Mvetsera chilichonse chomwe Sara akukuwuza, chifukwa zidzukulu zako zidzachokera mwa Isake.
13 Yet I will also make the son of the woman servant into a great nation, for he is your offspring.”
Mwana wa mdzakazi wakoyu ndidzamusandutsa mtundu wa anthu chifukwa ndi mwana wako.”
14 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.
Mmamawa wake, Abrahamu anatenga chakudya ndi botolo la madzi nazipereka kwa Hagara. Anasenzetsa Hagara nawaperekeza pangʼono ndi mnyamatayo. Hagara ananyamuka nayendayenda mʼchipululu cha Beeriseba.
15 And when the water in the skin had been consumed, she set aside the boy, under one of the trees that were there.
Madzi atatha mʼbotolo muja, anamuyika mnyamatayo pansi pa zitsamba.
16 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.
Kenaka Hagara anachoka nakakhala pansi cha pakatalipo, pafupifupi mamita makumi asanu ndi anayi, popeza mʼmaganizo mwake amati, “Sindingaonerere mwanayu akufa.” Ndipo anakhala pansi cha poteropo nʼkumalira.
17 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.
Mulungu anamva mnyamatayo akulira ndipo mngelo wa Mulungu anayankhula kwa Hagara kuchokera kumwamba nati, “Chavuta nʼchiyani Hagara? Usachite mantha; Mulungu wamva kulira kwa mnyamatayo pamene wagonapo.
18 Rise up. Take the boy and hold him by the hand. For I will make of him a great nation.”
Munyamule mnyamatayo ndipo umugwire dzanja pakuti ndidzamupanga kukhala mtundu waukulu.”
19 And God opened her eyes. And seeing a well of water, she went and filled the skin, and she gave the boy to drink.
Kenaka Mulungu anatsekula maso a Hagara ndipo anaona chitsime cha madzi. Choncho anapita nadzaza botolo lija ndi madzi ndi kumupatsa mnyamatayo kuti amwe.
20 And God was with him. And he grew, and he stayed in the wilderness, and he became a young man, an archer.
Mulungu anali ndi mnyamatayo pamene ankakula. Anakhala ku chipululu nakhala katswiri wolasa uta.
21 And he lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Akukhala ku chipululu cha Parani, mayi ake anamupezera mkazi wochokera ku Igupto.
22 At the same time, Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, said to Abraham: “God is with you in everything that you do.
Pa nthawiyo, Abimeleki ndi Fikolo wamkulu wankhondo wake anati kwa Abrahamu, “Mulungu ali nawe pa chilichonse umachita.
23 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.”
Tsopano undilumbirire ine pano pamaso pa Mulungu kuti sudzachita mwa chinyengo ndi ine kapena ana anga kapena zidzukulu zanga. Undionetse ine pamodzi ndi dziko limene ukukhalamo ngati mlendo, kukoma mtima kokhala ngati kumene ndinakuonetsa ine.”
24 And Abraham said, “I will swear.”
Abrahamu anati, “Ine ndikulumbira.”
25 And he reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
Kenaka Abrahamu anadandaula kwa Abimeleki pa za chitsime chimene antchito a Abimeleki analanda.
26 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.”
Koma Abimeleki anati, “Ine sindikudziwa amene anachita zimenezi. Iwe sunandiwuze, ndipo ndazimva lero zimenezi.”
27 And so Abraham took sheep and oxen, and he gave them to Abimelech. And both of them struck a pact.
Choncho Abrahamu anabweretsa nkhosa ndi ngʼombe nazipereka kwa Abimeleki, ndipo anthu awiriwo anachita pangano.
28 And Abraham set aside seven female lambs from the flock.
Abrahamu anapatulako ana ankhosa aakazi asanu ndi awiri kuchoka pagulu la nkhosa zina,
29 Abimelech said to him, “What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?”
ndipo Abimeleki anafunsa Abrahamu, “Kodi tanthauzo lake la ana ankhosa aakazi asanu ndi awiri amene wawapatula pawokhawa nʼchiyani?”
30 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.”
Iye anayankha kuti, “Landirani ana ankhosa aakazi kuchokera mʼdzanja langa ngati umboni kuti ndinakumba chitsime ichi.”
31 For this reason, that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them did swear.
Kotero malo amenewo anatchedwa Beeriseba, chifukwa anthu awiriwo analumbirirapo malumbiro.
32 And they initiated a pact on behalf of the well of oath.
Atatha kuchita pangano pa Beeriseba, Abimeleki ndi Fikolo mkulu wankhondo wake anabwerera ku dziko la Afilisti.
33 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.
Abrahamu anadzala mtengo wa bwemba ku Beeriseba, ndipo anapemphera pamenepo mʼdzina la Yehova, Mulungu Wamuyaya.
34 And he was a settler in the land of the Palestinians for many days.
Ndipo Abrahamu anakhala mʼdziko la Afilisti kwa nthawi yayitali.
