< Genesis 21 >
1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Awo Mukama n’akwatirwa Saala ekisa nga bwe yagamba Ibulayimu, era n’akolera Saala kye yasuubiza.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bore 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 to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Ibulayimu n’atuuma omwana owoobulenzi, eyamuzaalirwa Saala, erinnya Isaaka.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being 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 to him.
Ibulayimu yali aweza emyaka kikumi mutabani we Isaaka bwe yazaalibwa.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
Saala n’agamba nti, “Katonda andeetedde okusekererwa, buli anaawulira anansekerera.”
7 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah shall nurse children? 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 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 to Abraham, mocking.
Naye Saala yalaba nga mutabani wa Agali Omumisiri, gwe yazaalira Ibulayimu ng’azannya ne mutabani we Isaaka.
10 Therefore she said to 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 because of his son.
Naye ekyo Ibulayimu n’atakisiima.
12 And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said to thee, hearken to 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 early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
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 was spent in the bottle, 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 apart from him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat apart from him, and raised 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 to 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 thy 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 a 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 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 for 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 Phichol the chief captain of his host spoke to 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 to 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 to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which 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 a 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 have I heard of it, but to day.
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 to Abimelech; and both of them 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 to 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, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.
N’amuddamu nti, “Endiga ezo enduusi omusanvu onoozitwala okuva gye ndi kalyoke kabe obukakafu nti nze nasima oluzzi olwo.”
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they swore both of them.
Ekifo ekyo kyekyava kiyitibwa Beeruseba, kubanga eyo bombi gye baalagaanira.
32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the chief 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 grove in Beersheba, 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.
