< Genesis 21 >

1 Now God visited Sarah as he had said, and did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Nake Jehova agĩtuga Sara o ta ũrĩa oigĩte, na Jehova akĩhingĩria Sara kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa aamwĩrĩire.
2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Sara akĩgĩa nda, na agĩciarĩra Iburahĩmu kaana ga kahĩĩ ũkũrũ-inĩ wake, o ihinda rĩrĩa Jehova aamwĩrĩte.
3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Iburahĩmu agĩtua kaana kau ga kahĩĩ aaciarĩirwo nĩ Sara, Isaaka.
4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Na rĩrĩa mũriũ ũcio wake Isaaka akinyirie thikũ inyanya-rĩ, Iburahĩmu akĩmũruithia, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aamwathĩte.
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
Iburahĩmu aarĩ na mĩaka igana rĩmwe rĩrĩa mũriũ wake Isaaka aaciarirwo.
6 Sarah said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me."
Sara akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩatũmĩte theke, na mũndũ o wothe ũrĩiguaga ũhoro ũcio nĩarĩthekaga hamwe na niĩ.”
7 She said, "Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age."
Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩerire Iburahĩmu atĩ Sara nĩakongithia ciana? No rĩrĩ, nĩndĩmũciarĩire kaana ga kahĩĩ ũkũrũ-inĩ wake.”
8 The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Nako kaana kau gagĩkũra na gagĩtigithio kuonga; naguo mũthenya ũrĩa Isaaka aatigithirio kuonga-rĩ, Iburahĩmu akĩrugithia iruga inene.
9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
No Sara akĩona atĩ mũriũ wa Hagari ũrĩa Mũmisiri aaciarĩire Iburahĩmu aarĩ na kĩnyũrũri.
10 Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman and her son. For the son of this slave woman will not be heir with my son, Isaac."
Nake akĩĩra Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Ingata ngombo ĩno ya mũndũ-wa-nja hamwe na mũriũ, tondũ mũriũ ũcio wa ngombo ĩyo ya mũndũ-wa-nja ndakagayana igai na mũriũ wakwa Isaaka.”
11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
Naguo ũhoro ũcio ũgĩthĩĩnia Iburahĩmu mũno tondũ wakoniĩ mũriũ.
12 God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your slave woman. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For from Isaac will your descendants be called.
No Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gũthĩĩnĩka mũno nĩ ũndũ wa kĩmwana kĩu, na ndungata ĩyo yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja. Thikĩrĩria ũrĩa wothe Sara egũkwĩra, tondũ rũciaro rũrĩa rũgeetanio nawe rũkoima harĩ Isaaka.
13 And I will also make a great nation of the son of the slave woman, because he is your offspring."
O na ningĩ nĩngatũma mũriũ wa ndungata ĩyo ya mũndũ-wa-nja atuĩke rũrĩrĩ rũnene, tondũ nĩ rũciaro rwaku.”
14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took food and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene Iburahĩmu akĩoya irio na mondo ya rũũa ĩrĩ na maaĩ, na agĩcinengera Hagari. Akĩmũigĩrĩra ciande-inĩ ciake, agĩcooka akĩmumagaria hamwe na kĩmwana kĩu. Nake Hagari agĩĩthiĩra, na agĩturĩrwo nĩ njĩra arĩ kũu werũ-inĩ wa Birishiba.
15 The water in the skin was gone, and she shoved the boy under one of the shrubs.
Na rĩrĩa maaĩ marĩa maarĩ rũũa-inĩ maathirire-rĩ, Hagari akĩiga kĩmwana kĩu rungu rwa kĩhinga kĩmwe.
16 She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, "Do not let me see the death of the boy." So she sat across from him, and he wept loudly.
Nake agĩthiiathiia, agĩikara thĩ handũ hataarĩ haraihu, ta ha rĩikia rĩa mũguĩ, tondũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Ndingĩĩrorera kĩmwana gĩakwa gĩgĩkua.” Na aikarĩte hau hakuhĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũgirĩka.
17 And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from the sky and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
Nake Ngai akĩigua kĩmwana kĩu gĩkĩrĩra, nake mũraika wa Ngai agĩĩta Hagari arĩ kũu igũrũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragũthĩĩnia Hagari? Tiga gwĩtigĩra; Ngai nĩaiguĩte kĩrĩro gĩa kĩmwana kĩu kĩrĩ o hau kĩrĩ.
18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him by your hand. For I will make him a great nation."
Tiira kĩmwana kĩu na igũrũ, na ũkĩnyiitĩrĩre na guoko, nĩgũkorwo nĩngagĩtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene.”
19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩmũhingũra maitho, nake akĩona gĩthima kĩa maaĩ. Agĩthiĩ ho, akĩiyũria rũũa maaĩ, na akĩhe kĩmwana kĩu kĩnyue.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
Ngai nĩakorirwo hamwe na kĩmwana kĩu o ũrĩa gĩakũraga. Gĩatũũrire werũ-inĩ, na gĩgĩtuĩka mũrathi na ũta.
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo aatũũraga Werũ-inĩ wa Parani-rĩ, nyina akĩmwethera mũtumia kuuma Misiri.
22 It happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do.
Ihinda-inĩ-rĩu Abimeleku na Fikolu mũnene wa mbũtũ ciake cia ita makĩĩra Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Ngai arĩ hamwe nawe maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa wĩkaga.
23 Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner."
Rĩu-rĩ, wĩhĩte ũrĩ mbere ya Ngai atĩ ndũkanjuukanĩrĩra, kana ũcuukanĩre ciana ciakwa, o na kana njiaro ciakwa. Nyonagia ũtugi niĩ na bũrũri ũyũ we ũtũũraga ũrĩ mũgeni o ta ũrĩa niĩ nguonetie ũtugi.”
24 And Abraham said, "I swear."
Iburahĩmu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩndehĩta.”
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
Ningĩ Iburahĩmu agĩtetia Abimeleku nĩ ũndũ wa gĩthima kĩa maaĩ kĩrĩa ndungata cia Abimeleku ciamũtunyĩte.
26 Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this thing. Neither did you tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today."
No Abimeleku akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndiũĩ nũũ wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio. Wee ndwanjĩĩrire, na ndaigua ũhoro ũcio ũmũthĩ.”
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Iburahĩmu akĩrehe ngʼondu na ngʼombe akĩhe Abimeleku, nao andũ acio eerĩ makĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Iburahĩmu akĩamũra mĩatĩ mũgwanja kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwake.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"
Nake Abimeleku akĩũria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Mĩatĩ ĩno mũgwanja-rĩ, wamĩamũra kuuma rũũru-inĩ nĩkĩ?”
30 He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well."
Iburahĩmu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra kuoya mĩatĩ ĩno mũgwanja kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, ĩtuĩke ũira atĩ nĩ niĩ ndenjire gĩthima gĩkĩ.”
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore there.
Tondũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Birishiba tondũ hau nĩ ho andũ acio eerĩ mehĩtĩire mwĩhĩtwa.
32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the commander of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
Thuutha wa kũrĩkanĩra kĩrĩĩko kĩu kũu Birishiba, Abimeleku na Fikolu mũnene wa mbũtũ ciake cia ita, magĩcooka bũrũri wa Afilisti.
33 And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Everlasting God.
Nake Iburahĩmu akĩhaanda mũtĩ wa mũbinde kũu Birishiba, na agĩkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, o we Mũrungu Ũrĩa-Ũtũũraga-Tene-na-Tene, arĩ handũ hau.
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
Nake Iburahĩmu agĩikara bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa Afilisti ihinda iraaya ma.
