Genesis 21
1 And YHWH has looked after Sarah as He has said, and YHWH does to Sarah as He has spoken;
Wakati huu Bwana akamrehemu Sara kama alivyokuwa amesema, naye Bwana akamtendea Sara kile alichokuwa ameahidi.
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 akapata mimba, akamzalia Abrahamu mwana katika uzee wake, majira yale ya Mungu aliomwahidi.
3 and Abraham calls the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah has borne to him—Isaac;
Abrahamu akamwita Isaki yule mwana ambaye Sara alimzalia.
4 and Abraham circumcises his son Isaac, [being] a son of eight days, as God has commanded him.
Isaki alipokuwa na umri wa siku nane, Abrahamu akamtahiri, kama Mungu alivyomwamuru.
5 And Abraham [is] a son of one hundred years in his son Isaac being born to him,
Abrahamu alikuwa na miaka 100 wakati Isaki mwanawe alipozaliwa.
6 and Sarah says, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who is hearing laughs for me.”
Sara akasema, “Mungu ameniletea kicheko, kila mmoja atakayesikia jambo hili atacheka pamoja nami.”
7 She also says, “Who has said to Abraham, Sarah has suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?”
Akaongeza kusema, “Nani angemwambia Abrahamu kuwa Sara angenyonyesha watoto? Tena nimemzalia mwana katika uzee wake.”
8 And the boy grows, and is weaned, and Abraham makes a great banquet in the day of Isaac’s being weaned;
Mtoto akakua, akaachishwa kunyonya. Siku hiyo Isaki alipoachishwa kunyonya, Abrahamu alifanya sherehe kubwa.
9 and Sarah sees the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she has borne to Abraham, mocking,
Lakini Sara aliona kuwa mwana ambaye Hagari, Mmisri, aliyemzalia Abrahamu alikuwa anadhihaki,
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.”
Sara akamwambia Abrahamu, “Mwondoe mwanamke huyo mtumwa pamoja na mwanawe, kwa kuwa mwana wa mwanamke mtumwa kamwe hatarithi pamoja na mwanangu Isaki.”
11 And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son’s sake;
Jambo hili lilimhuzunisha sana Abrahamu kwa sababu lilimhusu mwanawe.
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.
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 son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] your seed.”
Nitamfanya huyu mwana wa mtumishi wako wa kike kuwa taifa pia, kwa sababu naye ni uzao wako.”
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;
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 the water is consumed from the bottle, and she places the boy under one of the shrubs.
Maji yalipokwisha kwenye kiriba, akamwacha kijana chini ya mojawapo ya vichaka.
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.
Kisha akajiendea zake akaketi karibu, umbali wa kutupa mshale, akawaza, “Siwezi kumwangalia kijana akifa.” Ikawa alipokuwa ameketi pale karibu, akaanza kulia kwa huzuni.
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];
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 rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with your hand, for I set him for a great nation.”
Mwinue kijana na umshike mkono, kwa maana nitamfanya kuwa taifa kubwa.”
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;
Ndipo Mungu akamfumbua Hagari macho yake naye akaona kisima cha maji. Hivyo akaenda akajaza kiriba maji na kumpa kijana anywe.
20 and God is with the youth, and he grows, and dwells in the wilderness, and is an archer;
Mungu akawa pamoja na huyu kijana alipokuwa akiendelea kukua. Aliishi jangwani na akawa mpiga upinde.
21 and he dwells in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother takes for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
Alipokuwa akiishi katika Jangwa la Parani, mama yake akampatia mke kutoka Misri.
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;
Wakati huo Abimeleki na Fikoli mkuu wa majeshi yake wakamwambia Abrahamu, “Mungu yu pamoja nawe katika kila kitu unachofanya.
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.”
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 And Abraham says, “I swear.”
Abrahamu akasema, “Ninaapa hivyo.”
25 And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants have violently taken away,
Ndipo Abrahamu akalalamika kwa Abimeleki kuhusu kisima cha maji ambacho watumishi wa Abimeleki walikuwa wamekinyangʼanya.
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.”
Lakini Abimeleki akasema, “Sijui ni nani ambaye amefanya hili. Hukuniambia, leo tu ndipo ninasikia habari zake.”
27 And Abraham takes sheep and oxen, and gives to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
Hivyo Abrahamu akaleta kondoo na ngʼombe, akampa Abimeleki, nao watu hawa wawili wakafanya mapatano.
28 and Abraham sets seven lambs of the flock by themselves.
Abrahamu akatenga kondoo wa kike saba kutoka kwenye kundi,
29 And Abimelech says to Abraham, “What [are] they—these seven lambs which you have set by themselves?”
Abimeleki akamuuliza Abrahamu, “Ni nini maana ya hawa kondoo wa kike saba uliowatenga peke yao?”
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”;
Abrahamu akamjibu, “Upokee hawa kondoo wa kike saba kutoka mkononi mwangu kama ushahidi kuwa nilichimba kisima hiki.”
31 therefore he has called that place “Beer-Sheba,” for both of them have sworn there.
Hivyo mahali pale pakaitwa Beer-Sheba, kwa sababu watu wawili waliapiana hapo.
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;
Baada ya mapatano kufanyika huko Beer-Sheba, Abimeleki na Fikoli mkuu wa majeshi yake wakarudi katika nchi ya Wafilisti.
33 and [Abraham] plants a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preaches there in the Name of YHWH, the perpetual God;
Abrahamu akapanda mti wa mkwaju huko Beer-Sheba, na hapo akaliitia jina la Bwana, Mungu wa milele.
34 and Abraham sojourns in the land of the Philistines many days.
Naye Abrahamu akakaa katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa muda mrefu.
