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.
Binigyang pansin ni Yahweh si Sara gaya ng sinabi niya at tinupad ni Yahweh ang kanyang pangako kay Sara.
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.
Nabuntis at nagsilang ng isang anak na lalaki si Sara para kay Abraham sa kanyang katandaan, sa itinakdang panahong sinabi ng Diyos sa kanya.
3 Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to.
Pinangalanan ni Abraham bilang Isaac ang kanyang anak na lalaki, siya na isinilang sa kaniya, na isinilang ni Sara para sa kanya.
4 Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do.
Tinuli ni Abraham ang kanyang anak na si Isaac nang ito ay walong araw na gulang, ayon sa iniutos ng Diyos sa kanya.
5 Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
Si Abraham ay isandaang taong gulang nang isilang si Isaac sa kanya.
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.”
Sinabi ni Sara, “Pinatawa ako ng Diyos; tatawa ang bawat isang makakarinig kasama ko.”
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.”
Sinabi rin niya, “Sinong makapagsasabi kay Abraham na si Sara ay magaalaga ng mga anak, at gayunpaman nagsilang ako sa kanya ng isang anak na lalaki sa kanyang katandaan!”
8 The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.
Lumaki ang bata at hiniwalay na sa kanyang ina, at naghanda si Abraham ng isang malaking pagdiriwang sa araw na hiniwalay na si Isaac sa kayang ina.
9 ([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.
Nakita ni Sara na nangungutya ang anak ni Agar na taga-Ehipto, na isinilang niya kay Abraham.
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!”
Kaya sinabi niya kay Abraham, “Palayasin mo ang babaeng aliping ito kasama ang kanyang anak: dahil hindi magiging tagapagmana ang anak ng babaeng aliping iyan kasama ng anak kong si Isaac.”
11 Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].
Ang bagay na ito ay labis na nagpalungkot kay Abraham dahil sa kanyang anak.
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.
Ngunit sinabi ng Diyos kay Abraham, “Huwag kang malungkot dahil sa batang lalaki, at dahil sa iyong babaeng lingkod. Pakinggan mo ang lahat ng sinasabi niya tungkol sa bagay na ito, dahil sa pamamagitan ni Isaac makikilala ang mga kaapu-apuhan mo.
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.”
Gagawin ko ring isang bansa ang anak ng babaeng lingkod, dahil siya ay iyong anak.
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].
Maagang bumangon si Abraham, kumuha siya ng tinapay at isang lalagyang tubig at nilagay ito sa balikat ni Agar. Dinala niya ang batang lalaki sa kanya at pinaalis siya. Umalis siya at nagpagala-gala sa ilang na lugar ng Beer-seba.
15 After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.
Pagkaubos ng tubig sa lalagyang balat, iniwan niya ang bata sa ilalim ng isang mababang puno.
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].
Pagkatapos umalis siya at naupo sa di kalayuan mula sa kanya, na parang isang tudla ng pana ang layo, dahil ang sabi niya, “Huwag ko sanang makita ang kamatayan ng bata.” Habang nakaupo siya roon sa kabila ng bata, nilakasan niya ang kaniyang boses at humagulgol siya sa iyak.
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.
Narinig ng Diyos ang boses ng bata, at tumawag ang anghel ng Diyos kay Agar mula sa langit, at sinabi sa kanya, “Anong gumagambala sa iyo, Agar? Huwag kang matakot, sapagkat narinig ng Diyos ang boses ng bata mula sa kanyang kinaroroonan.
18 Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
Tumayo ka, ibangon mo ang bata at patatagin siya; sapagkat gagawin ko siyang isang dakilang bansa.”
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.
Pagkatapos minulat ng Diyos ang mga mata ni Agar at nakakita siya ng isang balon ng tubig. Pinuntahan niya ito at pinuno ng tubig ang lalagyang gawa sa balat at pinainom ang bata.
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).
Sinamahan ng Diyos ang bata, at lumaki siya. Nanirahan siya sa ilang at naging isang mamamana.
21 He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.
Namuhay siya sa ilang ng Paran, at kumuha ng mapapangasawa niya ang kaniyang ina mula sa lupain ng Ehipto.
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.
Sa panahong iyon kinausap nila Abimelek at Ficol na kapitan ng kanyang hukbo si Abraham at sinabing, “Kasama mo ang Diyos sa lahat ng iyong ginagawa.
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.”
Kaya ngayon manumpa ka sa Diyos, na hindi mo ako gagawan ng masama, ni ang aking mga anak, ni ang aking mga kaapu-apuhan. Ipakita mo sa akin at sa lupain kung saan ka naninirahan ang parehong katapatan sa kasunduan na ipinakita ko sa iyo.”
24 So Abraham promised to do that.
“Nangangako ako” sagot ni Abraham.
25 [Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
Nagreklamo rin si Abraham kay Abimelek patungkol sa balon ng tubig na inagaw mula sa kanya ng mga lingkod ni Abimelek.
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.”
Sinabi ni Abimelek, “Hindi ko alam kung sino ang gumawa ng bagay na ito. Hindi mo ito sinabi sa akin liban ngayon; hindi ko ito narining kundi ngayon.”
27 So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
Kaya kumuha si Abraham ng tupa at mga lalaking baka at binigay ang mga ito kay Abimelek, at gumawa ang dalawa ng isang kasunduan.
28 Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
Pagkatapos nagbukod si Abraham ng pitong mga babaeng tupa ng kawan.
29 Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
Sinabi ni Abimelek kay Abraham, “Anong kahulugan nitong pitong babaeng tupang ibinukod mo?”
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.”
Sumagot siya, “Matatanggap mo mula sa aking kamay itong pitong babaing tupa, upang maging saksi para sa akin, na hinukay ko ang balong ito.”
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.
Kaya tinawag niya ang lugar na iyong Beer-seba, dahil doon sila kapwa nagsumpaan ng isang kasunduan.
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.
Gumawa sila ng isang kasunduan sa Beer-seba, at pagkatapos bumalik si Abimelek at Ficol, ang kapitan ng kanyang hukbo sa lupain ng mga Filisteo.
33 Abraham planted a (tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel) there, and he worshiped the eternal God there.
Nagtanim si Abraham ng puno ng tamarisko sa Beer-seba. Doon sinamba niya si Yahweh, ang Diyos na walang hanggan.
34 Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
Namalagi si Abraham bilang isang dayuhan sa lupain ng mga Filisteo nang maraming araw.
