Genesis 21
1 The Lord came to help Sarah as he'd said he would. The Lord did for Sarah what he'd promised.
Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Sarah khaeah caeh moe, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng mah Sarah khaeah sak pae.
2 She became pregnant and had a son for Abraham when he was old, at the exact time God said she would.
Abraham mitong naah Sarah zokpomh moe, Sithaw mah khaeh ih atue phak naah, Abraham han capa maeto a sak pae.
3 Abraham named their son Isaac.
Sarah mah sak pae ih capa to Abraham mah, Issak, tiah ahmin phui.
4 Abraham circumcised him when Isaac was eight days old, following God's command.
Sithaw mah anih khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, ni tazetto akoep naah, Abraham mah a capa Issak ih tangyat hin to aah pae.
5 Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born.
Abraham loe a capa Issak tapen naah saning cumvaito oh boeh.
6 Sarah declared, “God has made me laugh, and all those who hear about this will laugh with me.”
Sarah mah, Sithaw mah kai ang pahnuisak boeh, hae lok thaih kaminawk boih, kai hoi nawnto pahnui o tih, tiah thuih.
7 She also said, “Would anyone have announced to Abraham that Sarah was going to have children to nurse? But now I have had a son for Abraham even when he was old!”
To pacoengah, Mi mah maw Abraham khaeah, Sarah mah a caa tahnutui panae tih, tiah thui thai tih? Toe mitong lam ah anih han capa maeto ka sak pae, tiah a thuih.
8 The baby grew up, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a large feast.
Nawkta loe qoeng tahang moe, tahnutui amphi boeh; tahnutui toengh na niah Abraham mah kalen parai uumhaih poih to sak pae.
9 But Sarah noticed that Ishmael, Hagar the Egyptian's son she'd had for Abraham, was making fun of Isaac.
Toe Abraham han capa maeto kasah pae, Izip nongpata Hagar mah pahnui thuih, tito Sarah mah panoek.
10 So she went to Abraham and told him, “You have to get rid of this slave woman and this son of hers! A slave woman's son is not going to be one of your heirs and inherit together with my son Isaac!”
To pongah anih mah Abraham khaeah, Na tamna nongpata hoi a capa hae haek lai ah; tamna nongpata ih capa loe natuek naah doeh ka capa Issak hoi nawnto qawktoep thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
11 Abraham felt very bad about it because Ishmael was his son.
Abraham loe a capa ah oh pongah, haek ving to anih han karai parai hmuen ah oh.
12 But God told Abraham, “Don't feel bad about the boy and the slave woman. Do whatever Sarah tells you, because it's through Isaac that your descendants will be counted.
Toe Sithaw mah, Nawkta hoi na tamna nongpata pongah palungsae hmah; Sarah mah thuih ih lok to tahngai ah; nang ih atii loe Issak khae hoi ni tacawt tih, tiah a naa.
13 Don't worry—I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation because he's your son.”
Na tamna nongpata ih capa doeh, na caa ah oh pongah, anih doeh acaeng maeto ah ka sak han, tiah a naa.
14 Abraham got up early the next morning. He packed up some food and a skin of water which he gave to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder. Then he sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered through the Desert of Beersheba.
Khawnbang khawnthaw ah, Abraham mah takaw hoi moihin tui tabu to lak moe, Hagar to paek; anih ih palaeng ah koeng pae moe, nawkta hoi anih to nawnto haek ving; Hagar loe caeh poe moe, Beersheba praezaek ah amhet khing.
15 When the water ran out, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
Moihin tui tabu pong ih tui to boeng naah loe, kabuk thing tlim ah nawkta to pasongh.
16 She went and sat down some way off, a few hundred yards away, saying, “I can't bear to watch my son die!” As she sat down she burst into tears.
To pacoengah kadueh nawkta to hnuk han ka koeh ai, tiah a thuih pongah caeh moe, nawkta hoi kangthla kue pala kahhaih setto kangthla ahmuen maeto ah anghnut pacoengah, tha hoi a qah.
17 God heard the boy's cries, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and asked her, “What's the matter, Hagar? Don't be afraid! God has heard the boy crying from where he is.
Nawkta qahhaih lok to Sithaw mah thaih naah, Sithaw ih van kami mah Hagar to van hoiah kawk, anih khaeah, Hagar, tih raihaih maw na tongh? Zii hmah, Sithaw mah angsonghaih ahmuen hoi kaqah nawkta ih lok to thaih boeh.
18 Get up, go over and help the boy up, and encourage him, for I will make him into a great nation.”
Angthawk ah, nawkta to pathawk ah loe, na ban ah tapom ah; anih loe kalen parai acaeng ah ka sak han, tiah a naa.
19 God opened her eyes and she saw a well nearby. She went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
Sithaw mah Hagar ih mik to amtuengsak naah, anih mah tuipuek maeto hnuk; a caeh moe, moihin tui tabu koi mongah tui to dok pacoengah, nawkta to tui naeksak.
20 God blessed Ishmael and he grew up, living in the desert. He became a skilled archer.
Nawkta loe qoeng tahang, anih loe Sithaw mah oh thuih; praezaek ah khosak moe, kalii kaat kop kami ah angcoeng.
21 He lived in the Desert of Paran. His mother chose a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Paran praezaek ah oh naah, amno mah anih hanah Izip tanuh to zu ah lak pae.
22 Around this time Abimelech came with Phicol, the commander of his army, to see Abraham. “God blesses you in everything you do,” Abimelech said.
Abimelek hoi angmah ih misatuh angraeng Phikol mah Abraham khaeah, Na sak ih hmuen boih ah Sithaw mah ang oh thuih.
23 “So swear to me right here and now that you won't betray me, my children, or my descendants. In the same way I've proved I'm trustworthy to you, do the same to me and my country where you're currently living.”
To pongah ka caa nuiah, to tih ai boeh loe ka caa ih caa patoeng nuiah, amsoem ai hmuen to ayae moe, angvin ah na ohhaih prae thungah kai mah kang tahmen baktih toengah, ka nuiah doeh tahmenhaih nam tuengsak toeng hanah; vaihi kai hanah Sithaw ih ahmin hoi lokkamhaih to sah ah, tiah a naa.
24 “I so swear,” Abraham replied.
Abraham mah, Lokkamhaih ka sak han hmang, tiah a naa.
25 Then Abraham raised an issue with Abimelech of a well that Abimelech's servants had taken by force.
To naah Abraham mah Abimelek khaeah, Na tamnanawk mah kai ih tuikhaw ang lomh pae o ving, tiah a naa.
26 “I don't know who did this, and you didn't mention it before. I haven't heard anything about it until today,” Abimelech responded.
Toe Abimelek mah, Kai khaeah nang thui ai pongah, mi mah maw to tiah sak, tito ka panoek ai, vaihni ah ni ka thaih vop, tiah a naa.
27 Then Abraham gave Abimelech some of his sheep and cattle, and the two of them made an agreement.
Abraham mah tuu hoi maitawnawk to lak moe, Abimelek hanah paek; to pacoengah nihnik mah lokmaihaih to sak hoi.
28 Abraham also separated out seven female lambs from the flock.
Abraham mah tuu khongkha thung ih tuu tala sarihto lak.
29 “What are these seven female lambs for that you've separated from the flock?” Abimelech asked.
To naah Abimelek mah Abraham khaeah, Tipongah tuu tala sarihto na pahoe loe? tiah a naa.
30 “I'm giving you these seven female lambs in return for your admission that I dug this well,” Abraham replied.
Anih mah, Tuikhaw loe kaimah ni takaeh, tiah hnukung ah oh hanah hae tuu tala sarihto hae, ka ban thung hoi la ah, tiah a naa.
31 That's why he called the place Beersheba, because the two of them swore and oath to each other.
Lokmaihaih a sak hoi pongah, to ahmuen to Beersheba, tiah kawk o.
32 After making the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army left and went home to the country of the Philistines.
Abimelek hoi angmah ih misatuh angraeng Phikol loe, Beersheba ah misa angdaehhaih sak pacoengah, Philistin prae ah amlaem hoi let.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and there he worshiped the Lord, the Eternal God.
Abraham mah Beersheba ah thingkung maeto tling moe, to ahmuen hoiah dungzan Angraeng, Sithaw ih ahmin to palawk.
34 Abraham lived in the country of the Philistines for a long time.
Abraham loe Philistin prae thungah saning kasawk ah khosak.
