Genesis 21
1 And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Yahwe akamsikiliza Sara kwa umakini kama alivyo kuwa amemwambia, Yahwe akamfanyia Sara kama alivyo kuwa amemwahidi.
2 And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.
Sara akachukua mimba na akamzalia Abraham mtoto wa kiume katika uzee wake, katika muda ule ule ambao Mungu alikuwa amemwambia.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Abraham akamwita jina mwanawe, ambaye alizaliwa kwake, na Sara, Isaka.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Abraham akamtahiri mwanawe Isaka alipofikisha siku nane, kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza.
5 And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
Abraham alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja wakati mwanawe Isaka anazaliwa kwake.
6 And Sarah said, God has made me laugh: all that hear will laugh with me.
Sara akasema, “Mungu amenifanya nicheke; kila mtu atakaye sikia atacheka pamoja na nami.”
7 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle children? For I have borne [him] a son in his old age.
Pia akasema, “Nani angesema kwa Abraham kwamba Sara atalea mtoto, na sasa kweli nimemzalia mtoto wakiume katika uzee wake!”
8 And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Mtoto akakua na akaachishwa kunyonya, na Abraham akafanya sherehe kubwa katika siku ambayo Isaka aliachishwa.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Sara akamwona mwana wa Hajiri Mmisri, ambaye alikuwa amezaliwa kwa Abraham, akidhihaki.
10 And she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son — with Isaac.
Kwa hiyo akamwambia Abraham, “Mfukuze huyu mwanamke huyu mtumwa pamoja na mtoto wake: kwa kuwa mtoto huyu wa mwanamke mtumwa hawezi kuwa mrithi pamoja na mwanangu Isaka.”
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
Jambo hili likamuhuzunisha sana Abraham kwa sababu ya mwanawe.
12 And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy handmaid: [in] all that Sarah hath said to thee hearken to her voice, for in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
Lakini Mungu akamwambia Abraham, “Usihuzunike kwa sababu ya kijana huyu, na kwa sababu ya mwanamke huyu mtumwa wako. Sikiliza maneno asemayo Sara juu ya jambo hili, kwa sababu itakuwa kupitia Isaka kwamba uzao wako utaitwa.
13 But also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
Nitamfanya pia mtoto wa mjakazi kuwa taifa, kwa sababu ni uzao wako.”
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave [it] to Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder — and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
Abraham akaamka asubuhi na mapema, akachukua mkate na kiriba cha maji, akampatia Hajiri, akiweka juu ya bega lake. Akamtoa kijana akampatia Hajiri na akawaondoa. Hajiri akaondoka akapotea katika jangwa la Beerisheba.
15 And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,
Maji yalipokwisha kwenye kiriba akamtelekeza kijana katika moja ya vichaka.
16 and she went and sat down over against [him], a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lifted up her voice and wept.
Kisha akaondoka, na akakaa umbali kidogo na yule kijana, umbali kama wa kutupa mshale, kwa vile alisema, “Na nisitazame kifo cha mtoto.” Alipokuwa amekaa kumkabili, akapaza sauti yake akalia.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What [aileth] thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is.
Mungu akasikia kilio cha kijana, na malaika wa Mungu akamwita Hajiri kutoka mbinguni, akamwambia, “Nini kinakusumbua? Usiogope, kwa kuwa Mungu amesikia kilio cha kijana mahali alipo.
18 Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation.
Inuka msimamishe mtoto, na umtie moyo; kwa kuwa nitamfanya kuwa taifa kubwa.”
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.
Kisha Mungu akayafunua macho ya Hajiri, natazama akaona kisima cha maji. Akaenda akajaza kiriba maji, na akampatia kijana akanywa.
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Mungu akawa pamoja na kijana, na akakua. Akaishi jangwani akawa mwindaji.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Akaishi katka jangwa la Parani, na mama yake akampatia mke kutoka Misri.
22 And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
Ikawa kwamba katika wakati ule Abimeleki na Fikoli kamanda wa jeshi lake akamwambia Abraham, akisema, “Mungu yuko pamoja na wewe katika yote uyatendayo.
23 And now swear to me here by God that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou sojournest.
Sasa niapie kwa Mungu kwamba hutanifanyia baya, wala mwanangu, wala uzao wangu. Onesha kwangu na kwa nchi ambayo umekuwa ukikaa agano lile lile la uaminifu ambalo nimekuonesha wewe.”
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
Abraham akasema, “Nina apa.”
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
Abraham pia akamlalamikia Abimeleki kuhusu kisima cha maji ambacho watumishi wa Abimeleki wamekinyang'anya.
26 And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this, neither hast thou told me [of it], neither have I heard [of it] but to-day.
Abimeleki akasema, “Sijui ni nani amefanya jambo hili. Hukuniambia mapema; na sijalisikia ila leo hii.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
Kwa hiyo Abraham akachukua kondoo na ng'ombe maksai akampatia Abimeleki, na wawili hawa wakafanya agano.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
Kisha Abraham akatenga wanakondoo wa kike saba pekeyao.
29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves?
Abimeleki akamwambia Abraham, “Nini maana ya hawa wanakondoo wa kike saba ambao umewatenga pekeyao?”
30 And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.
Akajibu, “Hawa wanakondoo wa kike saba utawapokea kutoka mkonono mwangu, ili kwamba uwe ushahidi kwangu, kuwa nichimba kisima hiki.”
31 Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there they had sworn, both of them.
Kwa hiyo akaita mahali pale Beerisheba, kwa sababu mahali pale wote wawili wali apa kiapo.
32 And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Philistines.
Walifanya agano hapo Bersheba, kisha Abimeleki na Fikoli, amiri wa jeshi, wakarudi katika nchi ya Wafilisti.
33 And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Eternal God.
Abraham akapanda mti wa mkwaju katika Beerisheba. Na pale akamwabudu Yahwe, Mungu wa milele.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
Abraham akasalia kuwa mgeni katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa siku nyingi.
