Genesis 21
1 Now, Yahweh, visited Sarah, as he had said, —And Yahweh did for Sarah as he had spoken.
Yahwe akamsikiliza Sara kwa umakini kama alivyo kuwa amemwambia, Yahwe akamfanyia Sara kama alivyo kuwa amemwahidi.
2 So, Sarah, conceived and bare, to Abraham, a son, for his old age, at the set time, of which God had spoken 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 called the name of his son that was born to him, whom, Sarah, bare to him, Isaac.
Abraham akamwita jina mwanawe, ambaye alizaliwa kwake, na Sara, Isaka.
4 And Abraham circumcised Isaac his son, when eight days old, —as God commanded him.
Abraham akamtahiri mwanawe Isaka alipofikisha siku nane, kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza.
5 Now Abraham was a hundred years old, —when Isaac his son was born to him.
Abraham alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja wakati mwanawe Isaka anazaliwa kwake.
6 And Sarah said, A laughing, hath God made for me, —Everyone that heareth will laugh with me.
Sara akasema, “Mungu amenifanya nicheke; kila mtu atakaye sikia atacheka pamoja na nami.”
7 And she said—Who would have announced to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled children? yet have I borne 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 child grew, and was weaned, —and Abraham made a great banquet, on the day of the weaning of Isaac.
Mtoto akakua na akaachishwa kunyonya, na Abraham akafanya sherehe kubwa katika siku ambayo Isaka aliachishwa.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian woman whom she had borne to Abraham laughing!
Sara akamwona mwana wa Hajiri Mmisri, ambaye alikuwa amezaliwa kwa Abraham, akidhihaki.
10 So she said to Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, —for the son of this bondwoman must not inherit 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 word was very grievous in the eyes of Abraham, —on account of his son.
Jambo hili likamuhuzunisha sana Abraham kwa sababu ya mwanawe.
12 And God said unto Abraham Let it not be grievous in thine eyes concerning the boy and concerning thy bondwoman, In all that Sarah may say unto thee, hearken to her voice, —For in Isaac, shall there be called to thee—a seed.
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 Yet even the son of the bondwoman, will I appoint to become, a nation, because thy seed, he is.
Nitamfanya pia mtoto wa mjakazi kuwa taifa, kwa sababu ni uzao wako.”
14 So Abraham rose up early in the morning—and took bread and a skin of water and gave unto hagar, —putting them on her shoulder and the child, and sent her forth, —so she went her way and wandered, in the desert 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 out of the skin was spent, —so she cast the child under one of the shrubs;
Maji yalipokwisha kwenye kiriba akamtelekeza kijana katika moja ya vichaka.
16 and went and sat her down over against him at a distance like as of such as draw the bow, for she said Let me not look upon the death of the child, —So she sat down over against him, and the boy lifted up his voice, and wept
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 heard the voice of the boy, and a messenger of God called unto Hagar out of the heavens; and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? Do not fear, for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the boy 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 Arise lift up the boy, and hold him up with thy hand, —for, a great nation, will I make him.
Inuka msimamishe mtoto, na umtie moyo; kwa kuwa nitamfanya kuwa taifa kubwa.”
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, —and went and filled the skin with water, and gave drink unto the boy
Kisha Mungu akayafunua macho ya Hajiri, natazama akaona kisima cha maji. Akaenda akajaza kiriba maji, na akampatia kijana akanywa.
20 And it came to pass that God was with the boy, and he grew, —and dwelt in the desert, and he became as he grew up, an archer,
Mungu akawa pamoja na kijana, na akakua. Akaishi jangwani akawa mwindaji.
21 And he dwelt in the desert of Paran, —and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Akaishi katka jangwa la Parani, na mama yake akampatia mke kutoka Misri.
22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, with Phicol chieftain of his host, spake unto Abraham, saying, —God, is with thee in all that, thou art 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 Now, therefore, swear to me by God, here, that thou wilt not deal falsely by me, nor by mine offspring, nor by my descendants, —according to the lovingkindness wherewith I have dealt with thee, shalt thou deal with me, and with the land wherein thou hast 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 said, I, will swear.
Abraham akasema, “Nina apa.”
25 But Abraham reproved Abimelech, —on account of the well of water, which the servants of Abimelech had seized.
Abraham pia akamlalamikia Abimeleki kuhusu kisima cha maji ambacho watumishi wa Abimeleki wamekinyang'anya.
26 And Abimelech said, I know not, who hath done this thing, —nor hast even thou, ever told me, nor have even I, ever heard, save to-day.
Abimeleki akasema, “Sijui ni nani amefanya jambo hili. Hukuniambia mapema; na sijalisikia ila leo hii.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave to Abimelech, —and they two solemnised a covenant
Kwa hiyo Abraham akachukua kondoo na ng'ombe maksai akampatia Abimeleki, na wawili hawa wakafanya agano.
28 So then Abraham set seven young sheep of the flock by them-selves,
Kisha Abraham akatenga wanakondoo wa kike saba pekeyao.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What, then mean these seven young sheep here, which thou hast set by themselves?
Abimeleki akamwambia Abraham, “Nini maana ya hawa wanakondoo wa kike saba ambao umewatenga pekeyao?”
30 And he said, The seven young sheep, shalt thou take at my hand, —that they may serve as my witness, that I digged this well.
Akajibu, “Hawa wanakondoo wa kike saba utawapokea kutoka mkonono mwangu, ili kwamba uwe ushahidi kwangu, kuwa nichimba kisima hiki.”
31 On this account, was the name of that place called Beer-sheba ["oath well"], —because there, had they two sworn.
Kwa hiyo akaita mahali pale Beerisheba, kwa sababu mahali pale wote wawili wali apa kiapo.
32 And when they had solemnised a covenant in Beer-sheba, —then arose Abimelech, with Phicol chief of his host, and returned unto the land of the Philistines.
Walifanya agano hapo Bersheba, kisha Abimeleki na Fikoli, amiri wa jeshi, wakarudi katika nchi ya Wafilisti.
33 Then planted he a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, —and called there on the name of Yahweh the age-abiding GOD.
Abraham akapanda mti wa mkwaju katika Beerisheba. Na pale akamwabudu Yahwe, Mungu wa milele.
34 So Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
Abraham akasalia kuwa mgeni katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa siku nyingi.
