Genesis 21
1 Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Awo Mukama n’akwatirwa Saala ekisa nga bwe yagamba Ibulayimu, era n’akolera Saala kye yasuubiza.
2 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 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Ibulayimu n’atuuma omwana owoobulenzi, eyamuzaalirwa Saala, erinnya Isaaka.
4 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 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
Ibulayimu yali aweza emyaka kikumi mutabani we Isaaka bwe yazaalibwa.
6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
Saala n’agamba nti, “Katonda andeetedde okusekererwa, buli anaawulira anansekerera.”
7 She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would 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 The child grew and was weaned. 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 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom 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 servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”
N’alyoka agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Goba omuweereza ono ne mutabani we, kubanga omwana w’omuweereza ono talisikira wamu na mwana wange Isaaka.”
11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
Naye ekyo Ibulayimu n’atakisiima.
12 God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.
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 I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
Era n’omwana w’omuweereza wo omukazi ndimufuula eggwanga, kubanga ava mu ggwe.”
14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. 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 The water in the container was spent, and she put 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 She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted 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 God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy 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 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
Golokoka, situla omwana omunyweze mu mikono gyo, kubanga ndimufuula eggwanga eddene.”
19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
Awo Katonda n’azibula amaaso g’Agali, n’alaba oluzzi, n’agenda n’ajjuza ensawo ey’eddiba amazzi, n’anywesa omulenzi.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.
Awo Katonda n’aba n’omulenzi n’akula n’abeera mu ddungu n’aba mwatiikirivu mu kulasa.
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
Yabeeranga mu ddungu lya Palani: nnyina n’amufunira omukazi okuva mu nsi y’e Misiri.
22 At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
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 you will 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 you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
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 Abraham said, “I will swear.”
Ne Ibulayimu n’amuddamu nti, “Nkulayiridde.”
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Awo Ibulayimu ne yeemulugunya eri Abimereki olw’oluzzi lwe abaddu be lwe baamunyagako.
26 Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”
Abimereki n’amugamba nti, “Simanyi n’omu eyakola ekintu ekyo, ggwe tewambulira era sikiwulirangako okutuusa ggwe lw’okintegeezeezza olwa leero.”
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
Awo Ibulayimu n’addira endiga n’ente n’abiwa Abimereki, ne balagaana endagaano bombi.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Awo Ibulayimu n’ayawulako endiga enduusi musanvu okuva mu kisibo kye.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”
Abimereki n’abuuza Ibulayimu nti, “Endiga ezo omusanvu enduusi z’oyawuddeko amakulu gaazo ki?”
30 He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it 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 they both swore an oath there.
Ekifo ekyo kyekyava kiyitibwa Beeruseba, kubanga eyo bombi gye baalagaanira.
32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, 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 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.
Ibulayimu n’asimba omuti omumyulimu mu Beeruseba n’akaabiririra eyo erinnya lya Mukama, Katonda Ataggwaawo.
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
Ibulayimu ne yeeyongera okutambulatambula mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti okumala ennaku nnyingi.
