Kĩambĩrĩria 21
1 Nake Jehova agĩtuga Sara o ta ũrĩa oigĩte, na Jehova akĩhingĩria Sara kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa aamwĩrĩire.
The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
2 Sara akĩgĩa nda, na agĩciarĩra Iburahĩmu kaana ga kahĩĩ ũkũrũ-inĩ wake, o ihinda rĩrĩa Jehova aamwĩrĩte.
Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 Iburahĩmu agĩtua kaana kau ga kahĩĩ aaciarĩirwo nĩ Sara, Isaaka.
Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 Na rĩrĩa mũriũ ũcio wake Isaaka akinyirie thikũ inyanya-rĩ, Iburahĩmu akĩmũruithia, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aamwathĩte.
Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Iburahĩmu aarĩ na mĩaka igana rĩmwe rĩrĩa mũriũ wake Isaaka aaciarirwo.
Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
6 Sara akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩatũmĩte theke, na mũndũ o wothe ũrĩiguaga ũhoro ũcio nĩarĩthekaga hamwe na niĩ.”
Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
7 Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩerire Iburahĩmu atĩ Sara nĩakongithia ciana? No rĩrĩ, nĩndĩmũciarĩire kaana ga kahĩĩ ũkũrũ-inĩ wake.”
She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8 Nako kaana kau gagĩkũra na gagĩtigithio kuonga; naguo mũthenya ũrĩa Isaaka aatigithirio kuonga-rĩ, Iburahĩmu akĩrugithia iruga inene.
The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 No Sara akĩona atĩ mũriũ wa Hagari ũrĩa Mũmisiri aaciarĩire Iburahĩmu aarĩ na kĩnyũrũri.
Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
10 Nake akĩĩra Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Ingata ngombo ĩno ya mũndũ-wa-nja hamwe na mũriũ, tondũ mũriũ ũcio wa ngombo ĩyo ya mũndũ-wa-nja ndakagayana igai na mũriũ wakwa Isaaka.”
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.”
11 Naguo ũhoro ũcio ũgĩthĩĩnia Iburahĩmu mũno tondũ wakoniĩ mũriũ.
The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
12 No Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gũthĩĩnĩka mũno nĩ ũndũ wa kĩmwana kĩu, na ndungata ĩyo yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja. Thikĩrĩria ũrĩa wothe Sara egũkwĩra, tondũ rũciaro rũrĩa rũgeetanio nawe rũkoima harĩ Isaaka.
God said to Abraham, “Do not 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.
13 O na ningĩ nĩngatũma mũriũ wa ndungata ĩyo ya mũndũ-wa-nja atuĩke rũrĩrĩ rũnene, tondũ nĩ rũciaro rwaku.”
I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
14 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene Iburahĩmu akĩoya irio na mondo ya rũũa ĩrĩ na maaĩ, na agĩcinengera Hagari. Akĩmũigĩrĩra ciande-inĩ ciake, agĩcooka akĩmumagaria hamwe na kĩmwana kĩu. Nake Hagari agĩĩthiĩra, na agĩturĩrwo nĩ njĩra arĩ kũu werũ-inĩ wa Birishiba.
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.
15 Na rĩrĩa maaĩ marĩa maarĩ rũũa-inĩ maathirire-rĩ, Hagari akĩiga kĩmwana kĩu rungu rwa kĩhinga kĩmwe.
The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
16 Nake agĩthiiathiia, agĩikara thĩ handũ hataarĩ haraihu, ta ha rĩikia rĩa mũguĩ, tondũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Ndingĩĩrorera kĩmwana gĩakwa gĩgĩkua.” Na aikarĩte hau hakuhĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũgirĩka.
She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Do not let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17 Nake Ngai akĩigua kĩmwana kĩu gĩkĩrĩra, nake mũraika wa Ngai agĩĩta Hagari arĩ kũu igũrũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragũthĩĩnia Hagari? Tiga gwĩtigĩra; Ngai nĩaiguĩte kĩrĩro gĩa kĩmwana kĩu kĩrĩ o hau kĩrĩ.
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? Do not be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
18 Tiira kĩmwana kĩu na igũrũ, na ũkĩnyiitĩrĩre na guoko, nĩgũkorwo nĩngagĩtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene.”
Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩmũhingũra maitho, nake akĩona gĩthima kĩa maaĩ. Agĩthiĩ ho, akĩiyũria rũũa maaĩ, na akĩhe kĩmwana kĩu kĩnyue.
God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
20 Ngai nĩakorirwo hamwe na kĩmwana kĩu o ũrĩa gĩakũraga. Gĩatũũrire werũ-inĩ, na gĩgĩtuĩka mũrathi na ũta.
God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo aatũũraga Werũ-inĩ wa Parani-rĩ, nyina akĩmwethera mũtumia kuuma Misiri.
He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
22 Ihinda-inĩ-rĩu Abimeleku na Fikolu mũnene wa mbũtũ ciake cia ita makĩĩra Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Ngai arĩ hamwe nawe maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa wĩkaga.
At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
23 Rĩu-rĩ, wĩhĩte ũrĩ mbere ya Ngai atĩ ndũkanjuukanĩrĩra, kana ũcuukanĩre ciana ciakwa, o na kana njiaro ciakwa. Nyonagia ũtugi niĩ na bũrũri ũyũ we ũtũũraga ũrĩ mũgeni o ta ũrĩa niĩ nguonetie ũtugi.”
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.”
24 Iburahĩmu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩndehĩta.”
Abraham said, “I will swear.”
25 Ningĩ Iburahĩmu agĩtetia Abimeleku nĩ ũndũ wa gĩthima kĩa maaĩ kĩrĩa ndungata cia Abimeleku ciamũtunyĩte.
Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
26 No Abimeleku akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndiũĩ nũũ wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio. Wee ndwanjĩĩrire, na ndaigua ũhoro ũcio ũmũthĩ.”
Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing. You did not tell me, and I did not hear of it until today.”
27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Iburahĩmu akĩrehe ngʼondu na ngʼombe akĩhe Abimeleku, nao andũ acio eerĩ makĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro.
Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
28 Iburahĩmu akĩamũra mĩatĩ mũgwanja kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwake.
Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Nake Abimeleku akĩũria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Mĩatĩ ĩno mũgwanja-rĩ, wamĩamũra kuuma rũũru-inĩ nĩkĩ?”
Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”
30 Iburahĩmu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra kuoya mĩatĩ ĩno mũgwanja kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, ĩtuĩke ũira atĩ nĩ niĩ ndenjire gĩthima gĩkĩ.”
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.”
31 Tondũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Birishiba tondũ hau nĩ ho andũ acio eerĩ mehĩtĩire mwĩhĩtwa.
Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.
32 Thuutha wa kũrĩkanĩra kĩrĩĩko kĩu kũu Birishiba, Abimeleku na Fikolu mũnene wa mbũtũ ciake cia ita, magĩcooka bũrũri wa Afilisti.
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.
33 Nake Iburahĩmu akĩhaanda mũtĩ wa mũbinde kũu Birishiba, na agĩkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, o we Mũrungu Ũrĩa-Ũtũũraga-Tene-na-Tene, arĩ handũ hau.
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
34 Nake Iburahĩmu agĩikara bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa Afilisti ihinda iraaya ma.
Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
