Genesis 21
1 Nowe the Lord visited Sarah, as he had saide, and did vnto her according as he had promised.
Wakati huu Bwana akamrehemu Sara kama alivyokuwa amesema, naye Bwana akamtendea Sara kile alichokuwa ameahidi.
2 For Sarah conceiued, and bare Abraham a sonne in his olde age, at the same season that God tolde him.
Sara akapata mimba, akamzalia Abrahamu mwana katika uzee wake, majira yale ya Mungu aliomwahidi.
3 And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him, which Sarah bare him, Izhak.
Abrahamu akamwita Isaki yule mwana ambaye Sara alimzalia.
4 Then Abraham circumcised Izhak his sonne, when he was eight dayes olde, as God had commanded him.
Isaki alipokuwa na umri wa siku nane, Abrahamu akamtahiri, kama Mungu alivyomwamuru.
5 So Abraham was an hundreth yeere olde, when his sonne Izhak was borne vnto him.
Abrahamu alikuwa na miaka 100 wakati Isaki mwanawe alipozaliwa.
6 Then Sarah said, God hath made me to reioyce: all that heare will reioyce with me.
Sara akasema, “Mungu ameniletea kicheko, kila mmoja atakayesikia jambo hili atacheka pamoja nami.”
7 Againe she said, Who would haue saide to Abraham, that Sarah shoulde haue giuen children sucke? for I haue borne him a sonne in his olde age.
Akaongeza kusema, “Nani angemwambia Abrahamu kuwa Sara angenyonyesha watoto? Tena nimemzalia mwana katika uzee wake.”
8 Then the childe grewe and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Izhak was weaned.
Mtoto akakua, akaachishwa kunyonya. Siku hiyo Isaki alipoachishwa kunyonya, Abrahamu alifanya sherehe kubwa.
9 And Sarah sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian (which she had borne vnto Abraham) mocking.
Lakini Sara aliona kuwa mwana ambaye Hagari, Mmisri, aliyemzalia Abrahamu alikuwa anadhihaki,
10 Wherefore she saide vnto Abraham, Cast out this bond woman and her sonne: for ye sonne of this bonde woman shall not be heire with my sonne Izhak.
Sara akamwambia Abrahamu, “Mwondoe mwanamke huyo mtumwa pamoja na mwanawe, kwa kuwa mwana wa mwanamke mtumwa kamwe hatarithi pamoja na mwanangu Isaki.”
11 And this thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne.
Jambo hili lilimhuzunisha sana Abrahamu kwa sababu lilimhusu mwanawe.
12 But God said vnto Abraham, Let it not be grieuous in thy sight for the childe, and for thy bonde woman: in all that Sarah shall say vnto thee, heare her voyce: for in Izhak shall thy seede be called.
Lakini Mungu akamwambia, “Usihuzunike hivyo kwa sababu ya kijana na mtumishi wako wa kike. Sikiliza lolote Sara analokuambia, kwa sababu uzao wako utahesabiwa kupitia kwake Isaki.
13 As for the sonne of the bond woman, I will make him a nation also, because he is thy seede.
Nitamfanya huyu mwana wa mtumishi wako wa kike kuwa taifa pia, kwa sababu naye ni uzao wako.”
14 So Abraham arose vp early in ye morning, and tooke bread, and a bottell of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the childe also, and sent her away: who departing wandred in the wildernesse of Beer-sheba.
Kesho yake asubuhi na mapema, Abrahamu akachukua chakula na kiriba cha maji, akampa Hagari. Akaviweka mabegani mwa Hagari, akamwondoa pamoja na kijana. Hagari akashika njia, akatangatanga katika jangwa la Beer-Sheba.
15 And when the water of the bottell was spent, she cast the childe vnder a certaine tree.
Maji yalipokwisha kwenye kiriba, akamwacha kijana chini ya mojawapo ya vichaka.
16 Then she went and sate her ouer against him a farre off about a bowe shoote: for she said, I will not see the death of the child. and she sate downe ouer against him, and lift vp her voyce and wept.
Kisha akajiendea zake akaketi karibu, umbali wa kutupa mshale, akawaza, “Siwezi kumwangalia kijana akifa.” Ikawa alipokuwa ameketi pale karibu, akaanza kulia kwa huzuni.
17 Then God heard the voyce of ye childe, and the Angel of God called to Hagar from heauen, and said vnto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? feare not, for God hath heard the voyce of the childe where he is.
Mungu akamsikia kijana akilia, malaika wa Mungu akamwita Hagari kutoka mbinguni na kumwambia, “Kuna nini Hagari? Usiogope, Mungu amesikia kijana analia akiwa amelala pale.
18 Arise, take vp the childe, and holde him in thine hand: for I will make of him a great people.
Mwinue kijana na umshike mkono, kwa maana nitamfanya kuwa taifa kubwa.”
19 And God opened her eyes, and she sawe a well of water. so she went and filled the bottell with water, and gaue the boy drinke.
Ndipo Mungu akamfumbua Hagari macho yake naye akaona kisima cha maji. Hivyo akaenda akajaza kiriba maji na kumpa kijana anywe.
20 So God was with the childe, and he grewe and dwelt in the wildernesse, and was an archer.
Mungu akawa pamoja na huyu kijana alipokuwa akiendelea kukua. Aliishi jangwani na akawa mpiga upinde.
21 And he dwelt in the wildernesse of Paran, and his mother tooke him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Alipokuwa akiishi katika Jangwa la Parani, mama yake akampatia mke kutoka Misri.
22 And at that same time Abimelech and Phichol his chief captaine spake vnto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
Wakati huo Abimeleki na Fikoli mkuu wa majeshi yake wakamwambia Abrahamu, “Mungu yu pamoja nawe katika kila kitu unachofanya.
23 Nowe therefore sweare vnto me here by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my children, nor my childrens children: thou shalt deale with me, and with the countrey, where thou hast bene a stranger, according vnto the kindnesse that I haue shewed thee.
Sasa niapie hapa mbele za Mungu kwamba hutanitenda hila mimi, watoto wangu wala wazao wangu. Nitendee mimi na nchi ambayo unaishi kama mgeni wema ule ule ambao nimekutendea.”
24 Then Abraham said, I will sweare.
Abrahamu akasema, “Ninaapa hivyo.”
25 And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelechs seruants had violently taken away.
Ndipo Abrahamu akalalamika kwa Abimeleki kuhusu kisima cha maji ambacho watumishi wa Abimeleki walikuwa wamekinyangʼanya.
26 And Abimelech saide, I knowe not who hath done this thing: also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it but this day.
Lakini Abimeleki akasema, “Sijui ni nani ambaye amefanya hili. Hukuniambia, leo tu ndipo ninasikia habari zake.”
27 Then Abraham tooke sheepe and beeues, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and they two made a couenant.
Hivyo Abrahamu akaleta kondoo na ngʼombe, akampa Abimeleki, nao watu hawa wawili wakafanya mapatano.
28 And Abraham set seuen lambes of the flocke by themselues.
Abrahamu akatenga kondoo wa kike saba kutoka kwenye kundi,
29 Then Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What meane these seuen lambes, which thou hast set by themselues?
Abimeleki akamuuliza Abrahamu, “Ni nini maana ya hawa kondoo wa kike saba uliowatenga peke yao?”
30 And he answered, Because thou shalt receiue of mine hand these seuen lambes, that it may be a witnes vnto me, that I haue digged this well.
Abrahamu akamjibu, “Upokee hawa kondoo wa kike saba kutoka mkononi mwangu kama ushahidi kuwa nilichimba kisima hiki.”
31 Wherefore the place is called Beer-sheba, because there they both sware.
Hivyo mahali pale pakaitwa Beer-Sheba, kwa sababu watu wawili waliapiana hapo.
32 Thus made they a couenant at Beer-sheba: afterward Abimelech and Phichol his chiefe captaine rose vp, and turned againe vnto the land of the Philistims.
Baada ya mapatano kufanyika huko Beer-Sheba, Abimeleki na Fikoli mkuu wa majeshi yake wakarudi katika nchi ya Wafilisti.
33 And Abraham planted a groue in Beer-sheba, and called there on the Name of ye Lord, the euerlasting God.
Abrahamu akapanda mti wa mkwaju huko Beer-Sheba, na hapo akaliitia jina la Bwana, Mungu wa milele.
34 And Abraham was a stranger in the Philistims land a long season.
Naye Abrahamu akakaa katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa muda mrefu.
