Genesis 21
1 And YHWH has looked after Sarah as He has said, and YHWH does to Sarah as He has spoken;
Yahwe akamsikiliza Sara kwa umakini kama alivyo kuwa amemwambia, Yahwe akamfanyia Sara kama alivyo kuwa amemwahidi.
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 akachukua mimba na akamzalia Abraham mtoto wa kiume katika uzee wake, katika muda ule ule ambao Mungu alikuwa amemwambia.
3 and Abraham calls the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah has borne to him—Isaac;
Abraham akamwita jina mwanawe, ambaye alizaliwa kwake, na Sara, Isaka.
4 and Abraham circumcises his son Isaac, [being] a son of eight days, as God has commanded him.
Abraham akamtahiri mwanawe Isaka alipofikisha siku nane, kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza.
5 And Abraham [is] a son of one hundred years in his son Isaac being born to him,
Abraham alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja wakati mwanawe Isaka anazaliwa kwake.
6 and Sarah says, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who is hearing laughs for me.”
Sara akasema, “Mungu amenifanya nicheke; kila mtu atakaye sikia atacheka pamoja na nami.”
7 She also says, “Who has said to Abraham, Sarah has suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?”
Pia akasema, “Nani angesema kwa Abraham kwamba Sara atalea mtoto, na sasa kweli nimemzalia mtoto wakiume 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 na akaachishwa kunyonya, na Abraham akafanya sherehe kubwa katika siku ambayo Isaka aliachishwa.
9 and Sarah sees the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she has borne to Abraham, mocking,
Sara akamwona mwana wa Hajiri Mmisri, ambaye alikuwa amezaliwa kwa Abraham, akidhihaki.
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.”
Kwa hiyo akamwambia Abraham, “Mfukuze huyu mwanamke huyu mtumwa pamoja na mtoto wake: kwa kuwa mtoto huyu wa mwanamke mtumwa hawezi kuwa mrithi pamoja na mwanangu Isaka.”
11 And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son’s sake;
Jambo hili likamuhuzunisha sana Abraham kwa sababu ya 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 Abraham, “Usihuzunike kwa sababu ya kijana huyu, na kwa sababu ya mwanamke huyu mtumwa wako. Sikiliza maneno asemayo Sara juu ya jambo hili, kwa sababu itakuwa kupitia Isaka kwamba uzao wako utaitwa.
13 As for the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] your seed.”
Nitamfanya pia mtoto wa mjakazi kuwa taifa, kwa sababu 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;
Abraham akaamka asubuhi na mapema, akachukua mkate na kiriba cha maji, akampatia Hajiri, akiweka juu ya bega lake. Akamtoa kijana akampatia Hajiri na akawaondoa. Hajiri akaondoka akapotea katika jangwa la Beerisheba.
15 and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she places the boy under one of the shrubs.
Maji yalipokwisha kwenye kiriba akamtelekeza kijana katika moja 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 akaondoka, na akakaa umbali kidogo na yule kijana, umbali kama wa kutupa mshale, kwa vile alisema, “Na nisitazame kifo cha mtoto.” Alipokuwa amekaa kumkabili, akapaza sauti yake akalia.
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 akasikia kilio cha kijana, na malaika wa Mungu akamwita Hajiri kutoka mbinguni, akamwambia, “Nini kinakusumbua? Usiogope, kwa kuwa Mungu amesikia kilio cha kijana mahali alipo.
18 rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with your hand, for I set him for a great nation.”
Inuka msimamishe mtoto, na umtie moyo; kwa kuwa 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;
Kisha Mungu akayafunua macho ya Hajiri, natazama akaona kisima cha maji. Akaenda akajaza kiriba maji, na akampatia kijana akanywa.
20 and God is with the youth, and he grows, and dwells in the wilderness, and is an archer;
Mungu akawa pamoja na kijana, na akakua. Akaishi jangwani akawa mwindaji.
21 and he dwells in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother takes for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
Akaishi katka jangwa la Parani, na 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;
Ikawa kwamba katika wakati ule Abimeleki na Fikoli kamanda wa jeshi lake akamwambia Abraham, akisema, “Mungu yuko pamoja na wewe katika yote uyatendayo.
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 kwa Mungu kwamba hutanifanyia baya, wala mwanangu, wala uzao wangu. Onesha kwangu na kwa nchi ambayo umekuwa ukikaa agano lile lile la uaminifu ambalo nimekuonesha wewe.”
24 And Abraham says, “I swear.”
Abraham akasema, “Nina apa.”
25 And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants have violently taken away,
Abraham pia akamlalamikia Abimeleki kuhusu kisima cha maji ambacho watumishi wa Abimeleki wamekinyang'anya.
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 akasema, “Sijui ni nani amefanya jambo hili. Hukuniambia mapema; na sijalisikia ila leo hii.”
27 And Abraham takes sheep and oxen, and gives to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
Kwa hiyo Abraham akachukua kondoo na ng'ombe maksai akampatia Abimeleki, na wawili hawa wakafanya agano.
28 and Abraham sets seven lambs of the flock by themselves.
Kisha Abraham akatenga wanakondoo wa kike saba pekeyao.
29 And Abimelech says to Abraham, “What [are] they—these seven lambs which you have set by themselves?”
Abimeleki akamwambia Abraham, “Nini maana ya hawa wanakondoo wa kike saba ambao umewatenga pekeyao?”
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”;
Akajibu, “Hawa wanakondoo wa kike saba utawapokea kutoka mkonono mwangu, ili kwamba uwe ushahidi kwangu, kuwa nichimba kisima hiki.”
31 therefore he has called that place “Beer-Sheba,” for both of them have sworn there.
Kwa hiyo akaita mahali pale Beerisheba, kwa sababu mahali pale wote wawili wali apa kiapo.
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;
Walifanya agano hapo Bersheba, kisha Abimeleki na Fikoli, amiri wa jeshi, 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;
Abraham akapanda mti wa mkwaju katika Beerisheba. Na pale akamwabudu Yahwe, Mungu wa milele.
34 and Abraham sojourns in the land of the Philistines many days.
Abraham akasalia kuwa mgeni katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa siku nyingi.
