Genesis 21
1 And YHWH has looked after Sarah as He has said, and YHWH does to Sarah as He has spoken;
Yawe atalisaki bolamu na Ye epai ya Sara ndenge kaka alobaki mpe akokisaki elaka oyo apesaki ye.
2 and Sarah conceives, and bears a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God has spoken of with him;
Sara azwaki zemi mpe abotelaki Abrayami mwana na kimobange na ye kaka na tango oyo Nzambe alakaki ye.
3 and Abraham calls the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah has borne to him—Isaac;
Abrayami apesaki na mwana oyo Sara abotelaki ye kombo « Izaki. »
4 and Abraham circumcises his son Isaac, [being] a son of eight days, as God has commanded him.
Abrayami akatisaki Izaki ngenga tango akokisaki mikolo mwambe ya mbotama, ndenge Nzambe atindaki ye.
5 And Abraham [is] a son of one hundred years in his son Isaac being born to him,
Abrayami azalaki na mibu nkama moko ya mbotama tango mwana na ye, Izaki, abotamaki.
6 and Sarah says, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who is hearing laughs for me.”
Sara alobaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai libaku ya koseka; mpe moto nyonso oyo akoyoka sango oyo akoseka elongo na ngai. »
7 She also says, “Who has said to Abraham, Sarah has suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?”
Abakisaki: « Nani akokaki koloba na Abrayami ete Sara akomelisa bana mabele? Pamba te naboteli ye mwana na kimobange na ye. »
8 And the boy grows, and is weaned, and Abraham makes a great banquet in the day of Isaac’s being weaned;
Mwana akolaki mpe Sara akataki kopesa ye mabele. Mokolo bakataki kopesa Izaki mabele, Abrayami asalisaki feti monene.
9 and Sarah sees the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she has borne to Abraham, mocking,
Kasi tango Sara amonaki ete Isimaeli, mwana oyo Agari, moto ya Ejipito, abotelaki Abrayami, azali koseka;
10 and she says to Abraham, “Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid has no possession with my son—with Isaac.”
ayebisaki Abrayami: « Bengana mwasi mowumbu oyo elongo na mwana na ye ya mobali, pamba te mwana ya mwasi mowumbu oyo, akoki te kokabola libula elongo na Izaki, mwana na ngai ya mobali. »
11 And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son’s sake;
Tango Abrayami ayokaki bongo, esalaki ye pasi makasi na motema mpo na mwana na ye.
12 and God says to Abraham, “Let it not be wrong in your eyes because of the youth, and because of your handmaid: all that Sarah says to you—listen to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to you.
Kasi Nzambe ayebisaki Abrayami: « Tika koyoka pasi na motema mpo na mwana na yo ya mobali mpe mwasi mowumbu na yo. Yoka nyonso oyo Sara azali koyebisa yo, pamba te ezali na nzela ya Izaki nde okozwa bakitani.
13 As for the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] your seed.”
Nakokomisa mpe mwana mobali ya mwasi mowumbu na yo ekolo, pamba te ye mpe azali makila na yo. »
14 And Abraham rises early in the morning, and takes bread, and a bottle of water, and gives to Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the boy, and sends her out; and she goes on, and goes astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
Na tongo makasi ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Abrayami azwaki lipa mpe mbeki ya mayi; apesaki yango na Agari. Atiaki yango likolo ya lipeka na ye, apesaki ye mwana mpe abenganaki ye. Agari akendeki mpe atambolaki bipai na bipai na esobe ya Beri-Sheba.
15 and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she places the boy under one of the shrubs.
Tango mayi oyo ezalaki na mbeki esilaki, Agari asundolaki mwana na se ya nzete moko ya moke.
16 And she goes and sits by herself opposite [him], far off, about a bow-shot, for she said, “Do not let me look on the death of the boy”; and she sits opposite [him], and lifts up her voice, and weeps.
Akendeki kovanda na monkama ya bametele, pamba te alobaki: « Nalingi te komona kufa ya mwana na ngai. » Lokola avandaki mosika ya mwana, atombolaki mongongo mpe alelaki.
17 And God hears the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calls to Hagar from the heavens and says to her, “What to you, Hagar? Do not fear; for God has listened to the voice of the youth where he [is];
Nzambe ayokaki mongongo ya mwana, mpe Anjelu na Nzambe abengaki Agari wuta na likolo. Ayebisaki ye: « Agari, likambo nini? Kobanga te, pamba te Nzambe ayoki mongongo ya mwana wuta na esika oyo otikaki ye.
18 rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with your hand, for I set him for a great nation.”
Telema, tombola mwana mpe zwa ye na loboko na yo, pamba te nakokomisa ye ekolo monene. »
19 And God opens her eyes, and she sees a well of water, and she goes and fills the bottle [with] water, and causes the youth to drink;
Nzambe afungolaki ye miso, mpe amonaki libulu ya mayi. Akendeki kotondisa mbeki mpe amelisaki mwana.
20 and God is with the youth, and he grows, and dwells in the wilderness, and is an archer;
Nzambe azalaki elongo na mwana. Akolaki, avandaki kati na esobe mpe akomaki mobomi nyama na tolotolo.
21 and he dwells in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother takes for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
Wana azalaki kovanda kati na esobe ya Parani, mama na ye azwelaki ye mwasi ya mokili ya Ejipito.
22 And it comes to pass at that time that Abimelech speaks—Phichol also, head of his host—to Abraham, saying, “God [is] with you in all that you are doing;
Kaka na tango yango, Abimeleki mpe Pikoli, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye, bakendeki kokutana na Abrayami; mpe Abimeleki alobaki na Abrayami: — Nzambe azali kolongisa yo na makambo nyonso oyo ozali kosala.
23 and now, swear to me by God here: you do not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with you—do with me, and with the land in which you have sojourned.”
Bongo sik’oyo, lapa ndayi awa na Kombo ya Nzambe ete okokosa ngai te, bana na ngai te, mpe bakoko na ngai te; kasi okosalela ngai bolamu elongo na mboka oyo epai wapi ozali kovanda lokola mopaya, ndenge ngai nasaleli yo.
24 And Abraham says, “I swear.”
Abrayami azongisaki: — Nalapi ndayi!
25 And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants have violently taken away,
Bongo Abrayami alobelaki Abimeleki na tina na libulu ya mayi oyo basali ya Abimeleki babotolaki na makasi.
26 and Abimelech says, “I have not known who has done this thing, and even you did not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard except today.”
Abimeleki azongisaki: — Nayebi te nani asalaki bongo. Oyebisaki ngai likambo moko te na tina na yango, mpe nayoki yango kaka lelo.
27 And Abraham takes sheep and oxen, and gives to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
Abrayami azwaki bameme, bantaba, bangombe, mpe apesaki yango na Abimeleki; bongo bango mibale basalaki boyokani.
28 and Abraham sets seven lambs of the flock by themselves.
Abrayami atiaki pembeni bana meme sambo oyo azwaki kati na etonga.
29 And Abimelech says to Abraham, “What [are] they—these seven lambs which you have set by themselves?”
Abimeleki atunaki Abrayami: — Bana meme sambo oyo otie pembeni elakisi nini?
30 And he says, “For—the seven lambs you accept from my hand, so that it becomes a witness for me that I have dug this well”;
Azongisaki: — Ndima bana meme sambo oyo ewuti na maboko na ngai lokola litatoli ete ngai nde natimolaki libulu yango.
31 therefore he has called that place “Beer-Sheba,” for both of them have sworn there.
Yango wana babengaki esika yango Beri-Sheba, pamba te na esika yango nde bango mibale balapaki ndayi.
32 And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech rises—Phichol also, head of his host—and they return to the land of the Philistines;
Sima na bango kosala boyokani kuna na Beri-Sheba, Abimeleki mpe Pikoli, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye, bazongaki na mokili ya Filisitia.
33 and [Abraham] plants a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preaches there in the Name of YHWH, the perpetual God;
Abrayami alonaki nzete ya tamarisi na Beri-Sheba mpe abelelaki Yawe, Nzambe ya bileko na bileko.
34 and Abraham sojourns in the land of the Philistines many days.
Abrayami avandaki lisusu tango molayi na mokili ya Filisitia.
