Genesis 21
1 Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Wakati huu Bwana akamrehemu Sara kama alivyokuwa amesema, naye Bwana akamtendea Sara kile alichokuwa ameahidi.
2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Sara akapata mimba, akamzalia Abrahamu mwana katika uzee wake, majira yale ya Mungu aliomwahidi.
3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Abrahamu akamwita Isaki yule mwana ambaye Sara alimzalia.
4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Isaki alipokuwa na umri wa siku nane, Abrahamu akamtahiri, kama Mungu alivyomwamuru.
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
Abrahamu alikuwa na miaka 100 wakati Isaki mwanawe alipozaliwa.
6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
Sara akasema, “Mungu ameniletea kicheko, kila mmoja atakayesikia jambo hili atacheka pamoja nami.”
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.”
Akaongeza kusema, “Nani angemwambia Abrahamu kuwa Sara angenyonyesha watoto? Tena nimemzalia mwana katika uzee wake.”
8 The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Mtoto akakua, akaachishwa kunyonya. Siku hiyo Isaki alipoachishwa kunyonya, Abrahamu alifanya sherehe kubwa.
9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Lakini Sara aliona kuwa mwana ambaye Hagari, Mmisri, aliyemzalia Abrahamu alikuwa anadhihaki,
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.”
Sara akamwambia Abrahamu, “Mwondoe mwanamke huyo mtumwa pamoja na mwanawe, kwa kuwa mwana wa mwanamke mtumwa kamwe hatarithi pamoja na mwanangu Isaki.”
11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
Jambo hili lilimhuzunisha sana Abrahamu kwa sababu lilimhusu mwanawe.
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.
Lakini Mungu akamwambia, “Usihuzunike hivyo kwa sababu ya kijana na mtumishi wako wa kike. Sikiliza lolote Sara analokuambia, kwa sababu uzao wako utahesabiwa kupitia kwake Isaki.
13 I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
Nitamfanya huyu mwana wa mtumishi wako wa kike kuwa taifa pia, kwa sababu naye ni uzao wako.”
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.
Kesho yake asubuhi na mapema, Abrahamu akachukua chakula na kiriba cha maji, akampa Hagari. Akaviweka mabegani mwa Hagari, akamwondoa pamoja na kijana. Hagari akashika njia, akatangatanga katika jangwa la Beer-Sheba.
15 The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
Maji yalipokwisha kwenye kiriba, akamwacha kijana chini ya mojawapo ya vichaka.
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.
Kisha akajiendea zake akaketi karibu, umbali wa kutupa mshale, akawaza, “Siwezi kumwangalia kijana akifa.” Ikawa alipokuwa ameketi pale karibu, akaanza kulia kwa huzuni.
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.
Mungu akamsikia kijana akilia, malaika wa Mungu akamwita Hagari kutoka mbinguni na kumwambia, “Kuna nini Hagari? Usiogope, Mungu amesikia kijana analia akiwa amelala pale.
18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
Mwinue kijana na umshike mkono, kwa maana nitamfanya kuwa taifa kubwa.”
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.
Ndipo Mungu akamfumbua Hagari macho yake naye akaona kisima cha maji. Hivyo akaenda akajaza kiriba maji na kumpa kijana anywe.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.
Mungu akawa pamoja na huyu kijana alipokuwa akiendelea kukua. Aliishi jangwani na akawa mpiga upinde.
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
Alipokuwa akiishi katika Jangwa la Parani, mama yake akampatia mke kutoka Misri.
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.
Wakati huo Abimeleki na Fikoli mkuu wa majeshi yake wakamwambia Abrahamu, “Mungu yu pamoja nawe katika kila kitu unachofanya.
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.”
Sasa niapie hapa mbele za Mungu kwamba hutanitenda hila mimi, watoto wangu wala wazao wangu. Nitendee mimi na nchi ambayo unaishi kama mgeni wema ule ule ambao nimekutendea.”
24 Abraham said, “I will swear.”
Abrahamu akasema, “Ninaapa hivyo.”
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Ndipo Abrahamu akalalamika kwa Abimeleki kuhusu kisima cha maji ambacho watumishi wa Abimeleki walikuwa wamekinyangʼanya.
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.”
Lakini Abimeleki akasema, “Sijui ni nani ambaye amefanya hili. Hukuniambia, leo tu ndipo ninasikia habari zake.”
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
Hivyo Abrahamu akaleta kondoo na ngʼombe, akampa Abimeleki, nao watu hawa wawili wakafanya mapatano.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Abrahamu akatenga kondoo wa kike saba kutoka kwenye kundi,
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”
Abimeleki akamuuliza Abrahamu, “Ni nini maana ya hawa kondoo wa kike saba uliowatenga peke yao?”
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.”
Abrahamu akamjibu, “Upokee hawa kondoo wa kike saba kutoka mkononi mwangu kama ushahidi kuwa nilichimba kisima hiki.”
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.
Hivyo mahali pale pakaitwa Beer-Sheba, kwa sababu watu wawili waliapiana hapo.
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.
Baada ya mapatano kufanyika huko Beer-Sheba, Abimeleki na Fikoli mkuu wa majeshi yake wakarudi katika nchi ya Wafilisti.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.
Abrahamu akapanda mti wa mkwaju huko Beer-Sheba, na hapo akaliitia jina la Bwana, Mungu wa milele.
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
Naye Abrahamu akakaa katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa muda mrefu.
