Genesis 21
1 Then the Lord visited Sarah, just as he had promised; and he fulfilled what he had spoken.
Onyenwe anyị jiri amara leta Sera dịka o kwuru na ọ ga-eme. Onyenwe anyị meere Sera ihe o kwere na nkwa.
2 And she conceived and gave birth to a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold to her.
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 called the name of his son, whom Sarah bore for him, Isaac.
Ebraham gụrụ nwantakịrị ahụ Sera mụụrụ ya aha, kpọọ ya Aịzik.
4 And he circumcised him on the eighth day, just as God had instructed him,
Mgbe Aịzik nọrọ ụbọchị asatọ site nʼụbọchị a mụrụ ya, Ebraham biri ya ugwu dịka Chineke si nye ya nʼiwu.
5 when he was one hundred years old. Indeed, at this stage of his father’s life, Isaac was born.
Ebraham agbaala narị afọ mgbe a mụrụ Aịzik nwa ya nwoke.
6 And Sarah said: “God has brought laughter to me. Whoever will hear of it will laugh with me.”
Nʼoge ahụ, Sera kwuru sị, “Chineke ewetarala m ọchị. Ndị niile nụrụ akụkọ a ga-esoro m chịa ọchị.”
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?”
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 the boy grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
Nwata ahụ tokwara, ruo mgbe a kwụsịrị ya ara. Nʼụbọchị ahụ a kwụsịrị ya ara, Ebraham kpọrọ oriri.
9 And when Sarah had seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with her son Isaac, she said to Abraham:
Ma mgbe Sera hụrụ na nwa nwoke ahụ Hega onye Ijipt mụtaara Ebraham nọ na-akwa emo,
10 “Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman servant will not be heir 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 Abraham took this grievously, for the sake of his son.
Okwu a wutere Ebraham nke ukwuu nʼihi na ihe banyere nwa ya nwoke Ishmel na-emetụ ya nʼobi.
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.
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 Yet I will also make the son of the woman servant into a great nation, for he is your offspring.”
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 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.
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 the water in the skin had been consumed, she set aside the boy, under one of the trees that were there.
Mgbe mmiri dị na karama akpụkpọ ahụ gwụsịrị, o nibere nwantakịrị ahụ nʼokpuru otu osisi ọhịa.
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.
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 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.
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 Rise up. Take the boy and hold him by the hand. 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 And God opened her eyes. And seeing a well of water, she went and filled the skin, and she gave the boy to 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 him. And he grew, and he stayed in the wilderness, and he became a young man, an archer.
Chineke nọnyeere nwantakịrị ahụ mgbe ọ na-eto. O biri nʼọzara ahụ ghọọ onye na-agba àkụ nke ọma.
21 And he lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Mgbe o bi nʼọzara Paran, nne ya chọtaara ya nwunye site nʼIjipt.
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.
Nʼoge a, Abimelek na Fikọl onyeisi ndị agha ya, bịakwutere Ebraham sị ya, “Chineke nọnyeere gị nʼihe niile ị na-eme.
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.”
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 swear.”
Ebraham zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, aga m aṅụrụ gị iyi.”
25 And he reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which his servants had taken away 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 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.”
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 so Abraham took sheep and oxen, and he gave them to Abimelech. And both of them struck a pact.
Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham kpụpụtara atụrụ, na ehi, nye Abimelek. Ha abụọ gbara ndụ nkwekọrịta.
28 And Abraham set aside seven female lambs from the flock.
Mgbe Ebraham sitere nʼigwe atụrụ ya wepụta nne atụrụ asaa nupu ha ka ha nọpụ iche,
29 Abimelech said to him, “What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?”
Abimelek jụrụ Ebraham sị ya, “Gịnị ka i ji nne atụrụ asaa ndị a ị họpụtara iche eme?”
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.”
Ebraham zara sị, “Nabata ụmụ atụrụ asaa ndị a dịka ihe akaebe na-egosi na ọ bụ m gwuru olulu mmiri a.”
31 For this reason, that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them did swear.
Ya mere, e bidoro ịkpọ ebe ahụ Bịasheba, nʼihi na nʼebe ahụ ka mmadụ abụọ a nọ ṅụrịtaara onwe ha iyi.
32 And they initiated a pact on behalf of the well of oath.
Mgbe ha gbachara ndụ nkwekọrịta na Bịasheba, Abimelek na Fikọl onyeisi agha ya laghachiri azụ nʼala ndị Filistia.
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.
Ebraham kụrụ osisi tamarisk na Bịasheba. Ebe ahụ ka ọ nọ kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ebighị ebi.
34 And he was a settler in the land of the Palestinians for many days.
Ebraham bigidere nʼala ndị Filistia ogologo oge.
