< Genesis 21 >
1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
Awo Mukama n’akwatirwa Saala ekisa nga bwe yagamba Ibulayimu, era n’akolera Saala kye yasuubiza.
2 And Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Saala n’aba olubuto, n’azaalira Ibulayimu omwana owoobulenzi mu bukadde bwe, mu kiseera Katonda kye yamugamba.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
Ibulayimu n’atuuma omwana owoobulenzi, eyamuzaalirwa Saala, erinnya Isaaka.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Ibulayimu n’akomola mutabani we Isaaka ow’ennaku omunaana ez’obukulu nga Katonda bwe yamulagira.
5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Ibulayimu yali aweza emyaka kikumi mutabani we Isaaka bwe yazaalibwa.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me.
Saala n’agamba nti, “Katonda andeetedde okusekererwa, buli anaawulira anansekerera.”
7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.
Era n’agamba nti, “Ani yandirowoozezza nti Saala alifuna omwana? Naye, laba mmuzaalidde omwana wabulenzi.”
8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Isaaka n’akula, n’aggyibwa ku mabeere, Ibulayimu n’afumba embaga ennene ku lunaku Isaaka lwe yaggyibwa ku mabeere.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Abraham, mocking.
Naye Saala yalaba nga mutabani wa Agali Omumisiri, gwe yazaalira Ibulayimu ng’azannya ne mutabani we Isaaka.
10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even 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 was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
Naye ekyo Ibulayimu n’atakisiima.
12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
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 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
Era n’omwana w’omuweereza wo omukazi ndimufuula eggwanga, kubanga ava mu ggwe.”
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered 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 in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child 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 went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
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 heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad 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 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
Golokoka, situla omwana omunyweze mu mikono gyo, kubanga ndimufuula eggwanga eddene.”
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad 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 was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Awo Katonda n’aba n’omulenzi n’akula n’abeera mu ddungu n’aba mwatiikirivu mu kulasa.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Yabeeranga mu ddungu lya Palani: nnyina n’amufunira omukazi okuva mu nsi y’e Misiri.
22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
Mu kiseera ekyo Abimereki ng’ali ne Fikoli omukulu w’eggye lye n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Katonda ali naawe mu buli ky’okola:
23 now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast 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 said, I will swear.
Ne Ibulayimu n’amuddamu nti, “Nkulayiridde.”
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Awo Ibulayimu ne yeemulugunya eri Abimereki olw’oluzzi lwe abaddu be lwe baamunyagako.
26 And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but today.
Abimereki n’amugamba nti, “Simanyi n’omu eyakola ekintu ekyo, ggwe tewambulira era sikiwulirangako okutuusa ggwe lw’okintegeezeezza olwa leero.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
Awo Ibulayimu n’addira endiga n’ente n’abiwa Abimereki, ne balagaana endagaano bombi.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Awo Ibulayimu n’ayawulako endiga enduusi musanvu okuva mu kisibo kye.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
Abimereki n’abuuza Ibulayimu nti, “Endiga ezo omusanvu enduusi z’oyawuddeko amakulu gaazo ki?”
30 And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
N’amuddamu nti, “Endiga ezo enduusi omusanvu onoozitwala okuva gye ndi kalyoke kabe obukakafu nti nze nasima oluzzi olwo.”
31 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
Ekifo ekyo kyekyava kiyitibwa Beeruseba, kubanga eyo bombi gye baalagaanira.
32 So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into 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] planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
Ibulayimu n’asimba omuti omumyulimu mu Beeruseba n’akaabiririra eyo erinnya lya Mukama, Katonda Ataggwaawo.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
Ibulayimu ne yeeyongera okutambulatambula mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti okumala ennaku nnyingi.
