< Genesis 21 >

1 And the LORD remembered Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as He had spoken.
Pea naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻe Sihova kia Sela ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola, pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova kia Sela ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola.
2 And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
He naʻe tuituʻia ʻa Sela ʻo ne fanauʻi kia ʻEpalahame ʻae tama ʻi heʻene motuʻa, ʻio, ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻae ʻOtua.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae hingoa ʻo hono foha naʻe fānau kiate ia, ʻaia naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe Sela kiate ia, ko ʻAisake.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Pea naʻe kamu ʻe ʻEpalahame hono foha ko ʻAisake ʻi hono ʻaho valu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia,
5 And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Pea naʻe teau taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAisake kiate ia.
6 And Sarah said: 'God hath made laughter for me; every one that heareth will laugh on account of me.'
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sela, “Kuo fakakata au ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻe kata mo au ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻe fanongo ai.”
7 And she said: 'Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.'
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai ia naʻe teitei pehē kia ʻEpalahame, ʻe fakahuhu ʻe Sela ha fānau? He kuo u fāʻeleʻi ha tama kiate ia ʻi heʻene motuʻa.”
8 And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻae tama, pea māvae ia, pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae kātoanga lahi ʻi he ʻaho naʻe māvae ai ʻa ʻAisake.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, making sport.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Sela ki he tama ʻa Hekaʻā ko e fefine ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia ʻEpalahame, ʻoku manuki.
10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham: 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.'
Ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai kia ʻEpalahame, “Kapusi ʻae fefine pōpula ni mo ʻene tama: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai fakataha ʻae tama ʻae fefine pōpula ni, mo ʻeku tama ko ʻAisake.”
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
Pea ko e meʻa fakamamahi lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻEpalahame, koeʻuhi ko hono foha.
12 And God said unto Abraham: 'Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall seed be called to thee.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame, “ʻOua naʻa ke mamahi koeʻuhi ko e tama, pe koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fefine kaunanga ka ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sela ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ne lea ai kiate koe koeʻuhi ʻe ui ia ʻAisake pe ʻa ho hako.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.'
Pea te u fakatupu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he tama ʻae fefine kaunanga, koeʻuhi ko ho hako ia.”
14 And Abraham arose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and strayed in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo ne ʻomi ʻae mā mo e hina vai, ʻo ne ʻatu kia Hekaʻā, pea ne ai ia ki hono uma pea mo e tama, ʻo ne fekau ia ke ʻalu; pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo he fano pe ʻi he toafa ʻo Peasipa.
15 And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
Pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻae vai ʻi he hina, naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae tama ʻi he lolo ʻakau ʻe taha.
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow-shot; for she said: 'Let me not look upon the death of the child.' And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
Ka ka ʻalu ia ʻo nofo fakahangatonu mai mei he mamaʻo ʻo tatau nai mo e touʻanga ngahau kuo fana; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia; “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻaku mamata ki he pekia ʻae tama, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻo hangatonu kiate ia, pea hiki hake ʻe ia hono leʻo ʻo tangi.”
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her: 'What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
Pea ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻoe tamasiʻi; pea lea mai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua kia Hekaʻā mei he langi ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamahi ai Hekaʻā? ʻOua te ke manavahē: he kuo ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻoe tamasiʻi mei he potu na.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast by thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.'
Tuʻu, pea hiki hake ʻae tamasiʻi pea fafa ia ho nima: he te u ngaohi ia ko e puleʻanga lahi.”
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
Pea naʻe fakaʻā ʻe he ʻOtua hono mata, pea naʻe mamata ia ki he matavai: pea ʻalu ia ʻo fakafonu ʻae hina ʻaki ʻae vai, pea ne fakainu ʻae tamasiʻi.
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Pea naʻe kau ʻae ʻOtua ki he tamasiʻi pea tupu ia, pea ne nofo ʻi he toafa, pea hoko ia ko e tangata fana.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he toafa ʻo Palani: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻene faʻē, ʻae uaifi kiate ia mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spoke unto Abraham, saying: 'God is with thee in all that thou doest.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻe lea kia ʻEpalahame ʻa ʻApimeleki, mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki lahi ia ʻo ʻene kautau, ʻo pehē: “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai;
23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son; but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.'
Pea ko eni, ke ke fuakava kiate au ʻi he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ke fai kākā kiate au, pe ki hoku foha, pe ki he foha ʻo hoku foha, ka ke fai kiate au, mo e fonua, ʻaia kuo ke nofo ʻāunofo ki ai, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻofa kiate koe.”
24 And Abraham said: 'I will swear.'
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Te u fuakava.”
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
Pea naʻe valoki ʻe ʻEpalahame kia ʻApimeleki, koeʻuhi ko e vai keli naʻe faʻao fakamālohi ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻApimeleki.
26 And Abimelech said: 'I know not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day.'
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻApimeleki, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hai kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tala mai ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fanongo ki ai, ka ko e ʻaho ni pe.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, ʻo ne foaki ia kia ʻApimeleki; pea naʻe fai ʻekinaua ʻae fuakava;
28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
Pea naʻe vaheʻi mo tuku kehe ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae lami fefine ʻe fitu.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham: 'What mean these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻEpalahame; “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe lami fefine ʻe fitu kuo ke vaheʻi mo tuku kehe?”
30 And he said: 'Verily, these seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.'
Pea ne pehē, “Ke ke toʻo ia ʻo ʻave mei hoku nima, ʻae lami fefine ʻe fitu ko ia, koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻoni ia kiate au, naʻaku keli ʻae vai.
31 Wherefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there they swore both of them.
Ko ia naʻa ne ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Peasipa: koeʻuhi naʻa na fefuakava ʻi ai;
32 So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba; and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
Naʻe pehē ʻena fai ʻae fuakava ʻi Peasipa: pea tuʻu hake ʻa ʻApimeleki mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki lahi ʻo ʻene kautau, pea na toe ō ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
33 And Abraham planted a tamarisk-tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
Pea naʻe tō ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻi Peasipa, pea naʻe ui ai ia ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻOtua taʻengata;
34 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
Pea naʻe ʻāunofo ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.
