< Genesis 21 >

1 Now God visited Sarah as he had said, and did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Yawe atalisaki bolamu na Ye epai ya Sara ndenge kaka alobaki mpe akokisaki elaka oyo apesaki ye.
2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Sara azwaki zemi mpe abotelaki Abrayami mwana na kimobange na ye kaka na tango oyo Nzambe alakaki ye.
3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Abrayami apesaki na mwana oyo Sara abotelaki ye kombo « Izaki. »
4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Abrayami akatisaki Izaki ngenga tango akokisaki mikolo mwambe ya mbotama, ndenge Nzambe atindaki ye.
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
Abrayami azalaki na mibu nkama moko ya mbotama tango mwana na ye, Izaki, abotamaki.
6 Sarah said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me."
Sara alobaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai libaku ya koseka; mpe moto nyonso oyo akoyoka sango oyo akoseka elongo na ngai. »
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."
Abakisaki: « Nani akokaki koloba na Abrayami ete Sara akomelisa bana mabele? Pamba te naboteli ye mwana na kimobange na ye. »
8 The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Mwana akolaki mpe Sara akataki kopesa ye mabele. Mokolo bakataki kopesa Izaki mabele, Abrayami asalisaki feti monene.
9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Kasi tango Sara amonaki ete Isimaeli, mwana oyo Agari, moto ya Ejipito, abotelaki Abrayami, azali koseka;
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."
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 The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
Tango Abrayami ayokaki bongo, esalaki ye pasi makasi na motema mpo na mwana na ye.
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.
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 And I will also make a great nation of the son of the slave woman, because he is your offspring."
Nakokomisa mpe mwana mobali ya mwasi mowumbu na yo ekolo, pamba te ye mpe azali makila na yo. »
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.
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 The water in the skin was gone, and she shoved 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 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.
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 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.
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 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him by your hand. For I will make him a great nation."
Telema, tombola mwana mpe zwa ye na loboko na yo, pamba te nakokomisa ye ekolo monene. »
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.
Nzambe afungolaki ye miso, mpe amonaki libulu ya mayi. Akendeki kotondisa mbeki mpe amelisaki mwana.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
Nzambe azalaki elongo na mwana. Akolaki, avandaki kati na esobe mpe akomaki mobomi nyama na tolotolo.
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Wana azalaki kovanda kati na esobe ya Parani, mama na ye azwelaki ye mwasi ya mokili ya Ejipito.
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.
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 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."
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 said, "I swear."
Abrayami azongisaki: — Nalapi ndayi!
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
Bongo Abrayami alobelaki Abimeleki na tina na libulu ya mayi oyo basali ya Abimeleki babotolaki na makasi.
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."
Abimeleki azongisaki: — Nayebi te nani asalaki bongo. Oyebisaki ngai likambo moko te na tina na yango, mpe nayoki yango kaka lelo.
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
Abrayami azwaki bameme, bantaba, bangombe, mpe apesaki yango na Abimeleki; bongo bango mibale basalaki boyokani.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Abrayami atiaki pembeni bana meme sambo oyo azwaki kati na etonga.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"
Abimeleki atunaki Abrayami: — Bana meme sambo oyo otie pembeni elakisi nini?
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."
Azongisaki: — Ndima bana meme sambo oyo ewuti na maboko na ngai lokola litatoli ete ngai nde natimolaki libulu yango.
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore there.
Yango wana babengaki esika yango Beri-Sheba, pamba te na esika yango nde bango mibale balapaki ndayi.
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.
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 planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of YHWH, the Everlasting God.
Abrayami alonaki nzete ya tamarisi na Beri-Sheba mpe abelelaki Yawe, Nzambe ya bileko na bileko.
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
Abrayami avandaki lisusu tango molayi na mokili ya Filisitia.
