Genesis 21
1 And YHWH has looked after Sarah as He has said, and YHWH does to Sarah as He has spoken;
Awo Mukama n’akwatirwa Saala ekisa nga bwe yagamba Ibulayimu, era n’akolera Saala kye yasuubiza.
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;
Saala n’aba olubuto, n’azaalira Ibulayimu omwana owoobulenzi mu bukadde bwe, mu kiseera Katonda kye yamugamba.
3 and Abraham calls the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah has borne to him—Isaac;
Ibulayimu n’atuuma omwana owoobulenzi, eyamuzaalirwa Saala, erinnya Isaaka.
4 and Abraham circumcises his son Isaac, [being] a son of eight days, as God has commanded him.
Ibulayimu n’akomola mutabani we Isaaka ow’ennaku omunaana ez’obukulu nga Katonda bwe yamulagira.
5 And Abraham [is] a son of one hundred years in his son Isaac being born to him,
Ibulayimu yali aweza emyaka kikumi mutabani we Isaaka bwe yazaalibwa.
6 and Sarah says, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who is hearing laughs for me.”
Saala n’agamba nti, “Katonda andeetedde okusekererwa, buli anaawulira anansekerera.”
7 She also says, “Who has said to Abraham, Sarah has suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?”
Era n’agamba nti, “Ani yandirowoozezza nti Saala alifuna omwana? Naye, laba mmuzaalidde omwana wabulenzi.”
8 And the boy grows, and is weaned, and Abraham makes a great banquet in the day of Isaac’s being weaned;
Isaaka n’akula, n’aggyibwa ku mabeere, Ibulayimu n’afumba embaga ennene ku lunaku Isaaka lwe yaggyibwa ku mabeere.
9 and Sarah sees the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she has borne to Abraham, mocking,
Naye Saala yalaba nga mutabani wa Agali Omumisiri, gwe yazaalira Ibulayimu ng’azannya ne mutabani we Isaaka.
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.”
N’alyoka agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Goba omuweereza ono ne mutabani we, kubanga omwana w’omuweereza ono talisikira wamu na mwana wange Isaaka.”
11 And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son’s sake;
Naye ekyo Ibulayimu n’atakisiima.
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.
Katonda n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Tonakuwala olw’omulenzi n’olw’omuweereza wo omukazi, buli Saala ky’akugamba kikole; kubanga mu Isaaka mwe ndituukiririza ebyo byonna bye nakusuubiza.
13 As for the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] your seed.”
Era n’omwana w’omuweereza wo omukazi ndimufuula eggwanga, kubanga ava mu ggwe.”
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;
Ibulayimu n’agolokoka ku makya ennyo, n’addira omugaati n’ensawo ey’amazzi n’abiwa Agali n’omwana gwe yazaala ng’abiteeka ku kibegabega kye, n’amusiibula. Agali n’agenda ng’atambulatambula mu ddungu lya Beeruseba.
15 and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she places the boy under one of the shrubs.
Awo amazzi ag’omu ddiba bwe gaggwaamu, Agali n’ateeka omwana we wansi w’ogumu ku miti.
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.
Agali ne yeeyongerayo ebbanga ng’awalasibwa akasaale, nga mita kikumi, n’atuula okumwolekera, kubanga yayogera nti, “Nneme okulaba omwana ng’afa.” Naye bwe yali ng’atudde, omwana n’ayimusa eddoboozi n’akaaba.
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];
Katonda n’awulira eddoboozi ly’omulenzi ng’akaaba, malayika wa Katonda n’ayita Agali ng’asinziira mu ggulu n’amugamba nti, “Kiki ekikuteganya? Totya, kubanga Katonda awulidde eddoboozi ly’omulenzi w’ali.
18 rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with your hand, for I set him for a great nation.”
Golokoka, situla omwana omunyweze mu mikono gyo, kubanga ndimufuula eggwanga eddene.”
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;
Awo Katonda n’azibula amaaso g’Agali, n’alaba oluzzi, n’agenda n’ajjuza ensawo ey’eddiba amazzi, n’anywesa omulenzi.
20 and God is with the youth, and he grows, and dwells in the wilderness, and is an archer;
Awo Katonda n’aba n’omulenzi n’akula n’abeera mu ddungu n’aba mwatiikirivu mu kulasa.
21 and he dwells in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother takes for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
Yabeeranga mu ddungu lya Palani: nnyina n’amufunira omukazi okuva mu nsi y’e Misiri.
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;
Mu kiseera ekyo Abimereki ng’ali ne Fikoli omukulu w’eggye lye n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Katonda ali naawe mu buli ky’okola:
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.”
kale kaakano ndayirira mu maaso ga Katonda nga tolinkuusakuusa, wadde okukuusakuusa omwana wange oba omwana w’omwana wange. Naye nga nze bwe nkukoze obulungi nga naawe bw’olinkola nze n’ensi mw’ozze.”
24 And Abraham says, “I swear.”
Ne Ibulayimu n’amuddamu nti, “Nkulayiridde.”
25 And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants have violently taken away,
Awo Ibulayimu ne yeemulugunya eri Abimereki olw’oluzzi lwe abaddu be lwe baamunyagako.
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.”
Abimereki n’amugamba nti, “Simanyi n’omu eyakola ekintu ekyo, ggwe tewambulira era sikiwulirangako okutuusa ggwe lw’okintegeezeezza olwa leero.”
27 And Abraham takes sheep and oxen, and gives to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
Awo Ibulayimu n’addira endiga n’ente n’abiwa Abimereki, ne balagaana endagaano bombi.
28 and Abraham sets seven lambs of the flock by themselves.
Awo Ibulayimu n’ayawulako endiga enduusi musanvu okuva mu kisibo kye.
29 And Abimelech says to Abraham, “What [are] they—these seven lambs which you have set by themselves?”
Abimereki n’abuuza Ibulayimu nti, “Endiga ezo omusanvu enduusi z’oyawuddeko amakulu gaazo ki?”
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”;
N’amuddamu nti, “Endiga ezo enduusi omusanvu onoozitwala okuva gye ndi kalyoke kabe obukakafu nti nze nasima oluzzi olwo.”
31 therefore he has called that place “Beer-Sheba,” for both of them have sworn there.
Ekifo ekyo kyekyava kiyitibwa Beeruseba, kubanga eyo bombi gye baalagaanira.
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;
Bwe baamala okukola endagaano e Beeruseba, Abimereki ne Fikoli omukulu w’eggye lye ne basitula ne baddayo mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti.
33 and [Abraham] plants a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preaches there in the Name of YHWH, the perpetual God;
Ibulayimu n’asimba omuti omumyulimu mu Beeruseba n’akaabiririra eyo erinnya lya Mukama, Katonda Ataggwaawo.
34 and Abraham sojourns in the land of the Philistines many days.
Ibulayimu ne yeeyongera okutambulatambula mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti okumala ennaku nnyingi.
