Genesis 21
1 Yahweh was very kind to Sarah, just as he said he would be. He did for Sarah exactly what he promised to do.
Waaqayyo akkuma dubbate sana Saaraa yaadate; Waaqayyo waan waadaa galeef sana ni raawwateef.
2 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Abraham when he was very old, at the time God promised it would happen.
Saaraan ulfooftee bara dulluma isaa keessa yeruma Waaqni waadaa isaaf seene sanatti Abrahaamiif ilma deesse.
3 Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to.
Abrahaamis ilma Saaraan isaaf deesse sana Yisihaaq jedhee moggaase.
4 Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do.
Abrahaam akkuma Waaqni isa ajaje sanatti Yisihaaq dhalatee guyyaa saddeetitti dhagna isa qabe.
5 Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
Yeroo ilmi isaa Yisihaaq dhalateefitti Abrahaam nama waggaa dhibbaa ture.
6 And Sarah said, “[Although I was sad before because I did not have any children], God has now enabled me to laugh, and everyone who hears about what God has done for me will laugh with me.”
Saaraanis, “Waaqni kolfa naa kenneera; namni waan kana dhagaʼu hundis na wajjin kolfa” jette.
7 Then she also said, “No one would have said to Abraham that some day Sarah would nurse a child, but I have given birth to a son when Abraham is very old.”
Ittuma fuftees, “Silaa eenyutu Abrahaamiin, ‘Saaraan daaʼima hoosisti’ jedha ture? Garuu ani bara dulluma isaa keessa ilma nan daʼeef” jette.
8 The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.
Mucichi guddatee harma guufame; Abrahaam gaafa Yisihaaq harma guufame sana cidha guddaa qopheesse.
9 ([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.
Saaraan garuu yeroo ilmi Aggaar Gibxittiin Abrahaamiif deesse sun Yisihaaqitti qoosu argite;
10 So she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman from Egypt and her son! I do not want the son of that slave woman to be alone (OR, to be an heir along with) my son, Isaac!”
isheenis Abrahaamiin, “Garbittii kanaa fi ilma ishee ariʼi; ilmi garbittii kanaa kun ilma koo Yisihaaq wajjin hin dhaaluutii” jette.
11 Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].
Wanni kunis sababii ilma isaatiif Abrahaamin akka malee rakkise.
12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about your son, Ishmael, and about your maidservant, Hagar. Do everything that Sarah tells you to do. Listen to her, because Isaac is the one who will be considered the ancestor of the descendants I promised to give you.
Waaqni garuu akkana jedheen; “Waaʼee garbittii keetiitii fi waaʼee mucichaa hin yaaddaʼin. Sababii sanyiin kee Yisihaaqiin siif waamamuuf waan Saaraan siin jettu hunda dhagaʼi.
13 But I will also cause the son of your maidservant to be the ancestor of the people of a great nation [MTY], because he is also your son.”
Inni sanyii kee waan taʼeef ani ilma garbittii sanaa saba nan taasisa.”
14 So Abraham got up early the next morning. He got some food ready, put water in a container, and gave them to Hagar. He put them [in a bag] on her shoulder and sent them away. They wandered in the desert near Beersheba [town].
Abrahaamis guyyaa itti aanu ganama obboroon kaʼee nyaata muraasaa fi bishaan qalqala tokko fuudhee Aggaariif kenne. Waan kanas gatiittii ishee irra kaaʼeefii mucaa wajjin ariʼe; isheenis achii baatee Gammoojjii Bersheebaa keessa joorte.
15 After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.
Yommuu bishaan qalqala keessaa dhumetti, isheen mucaa ishee daggala tokko jala keesse.
16 Then she went and sat nearby, about (as far as someone can shoot an arrow/100 meters away), because she thought, “I cannot endure seeing my son die!” As she sat there, she began to cry [loudly] [MTY].
Isheenis, “Mucaa kana isaa duʼu ani hin ilaalu” jettee garaa isheetti waan yaaddeef gara darba xiyyaa tokko xinnoo achi hiiqxee naannoo isaa teesse; achi teessees sagalee ishee ol fudhattee boosse.
17 [The boy was crying too.] And God heard the boy crying. So he caused one of his angels to call out from heaven to Hagar, saying, “Hagar, are you worried about something? Do not be afraid, because God has heard the boy crying there.
Waaqni booʼicha mucichaa ni dhagaʼe; ergamaan Waaqayyoo samii keessaa Aggaarin waamee akkana jedheen; “Yaa Aggaar ati maal taate? Hin sodaatin; Waaqni booʼicha mucichaa iddoo inni ciisee jiruu dhagaʼeeraatii.
18 Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
Sababii ani saba guddaa isa godhuuf kaʼiitii harka keetiin mucicha ol fuudhi; jabeessiitii isa qabi.”
19 Then God showed her a well of water. So she went to the well and filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
Waaqni ija ishee baneefii jennaan boolla bishaanii tokko argite. Kanaafuu dhaqxee qalqala sana bishaaniin guuttee, waan inni dhugu mucichaaf kennite.
20 God helped the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became a good (archer/man who hunts with bow and arrows).
Waaqnis mucicha wajjin ture; mucichis ni guddate. Innis gammoojjii keessa jiraate; xiyya darbachuudhaanis beekamaa ture.
21 He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.
Innis gammoojjii Phaaraan keessa jiraate; haati isaas biyya Gibxiitii niitii argatteef.
22 At that time, [King] Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “It is clear that God helps you with everything that you do.
Yeroo sana Abiimelekii fi Fiikool ajajaan loltoota isaa Abrahaamiin akkana jedhan; “Waan ati hojjettu hunda keessatti Waaqni si wajjin jira.
23 So now (solemnly promise/swear) to me here, as God is listening, that you will (not deceive/act fairly to) me and my children and my descendants, in return for my being kind to you. Be kind to me and to all the people here in the country where you are now living.”
Ati akka ana yookaan ijoollee koo yookaan sanyii koo hin gowwoomsine amma as fuula Waaqaa duratti naa kakadhu. Akkuma ani garaa siif laafe sana atis anaa fi biyya amma orma taatee keessa jiraattu kanaaf garaa laafi.”
24 So Abraham promised to do that.
Abrahaamis, “Ani nan kakadha” jedhe.
25 [Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
Ergasii Abrahaam waaʼee boolla bishaanii garboonni Abiimelek isa irraa fudhatan tokkoo Abiimelekitti himate.
26 But Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done that. You did not tell me previously, and I did not hear about it until today.”
Abiimelek immoo, “Ani nama waan kana hojjete hin beeku. Atis natti hin himne; ani waaʼee isaa harʼuman dhagaʼe” jedhe.
27 So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
Kanaafuu Abrahaam hoolaa fi loon fidee Abiimelekiif kenne; jarri lamaanis walii galtee uummatan.
28 Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
Abrahaam gorommii hoolaa torba bushaayee keessaa kophaatti baase;
29 Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
Abiimelekis, “Hiikkaan gorommii hoolaa torban ati kophaa isaanii baafte kanneenii maali?” jedhee Abrahaamin gaafate.
30 Abraham replied, “I want you truly to accept these female lambs from me [SYN], so that it may be a (public witness/proof) that this well belongs to me because I dug it.”
Abrahaamis, “Akka ani boolla bishaanii kana qotadhe akka ragaa taʼuuf, gorommii hoolaa torban kanneen na harkaa fudhadhu” jedhee deebise.
31 So Abimelech accepted the animals, and as a result they called that place Beersheba, [which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’, ] because there the two of them made that agreement.
Sababii jarri lamaan sun achitti walii kakataniif iddoon sun Bersheebaa jedhamee waamame.
32 After they made the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and his army commander, Phicol, left, and returned to the land of the Philistine people-group.
Erga walii galteen sun Bersheebaatti taʼee booddee Abiimelekii fi Fiikool ajajaan loltoota isaa gara biyya Filisxeemotaatti deebiʼan.
33 Abraham planted a (tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel) there, and he worshiped the eternal God there.
Abrahaamis Bersheebaa keessa muka tamirii dhaabe; innis achitti maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Bara Baraa waammate.
34 Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
Abrahaam biyya Filisxeemotaa keessa bara dheeraa jiraate.
