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.”

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.”
8 Yaron ya yi girma, aka kuma yaye shi, a ranar da aka yaye shi kuwa, Ibrahim ya yi babban biki.
The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.

([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.

Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].

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.
13 Zan ba ɗan baiwan nan al’umma shi ma, domin shi zuriyarka ne.”
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.”

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].
15 Sa’ad da ruwan da yake cikin salkan ya ƙare, sai ta ajiye yaron a ƙarƙashin wani ƙaramin itace.
After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.

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].
17 Allah kuwa ya ji yaron yana kuka, sai mala’ikan Allah ya kira Hagar daga sama ya ce mata, “Mene ne damuwarki, Hagar? Kada ki ji tsoro, Allah ya ji yaron yana kuka yayinda yake kwance a can.
[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.
18 Ki ɗaga yaron ki riƙe shi a hannu, gama zan mai da shi al’umma mai girma.”
Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
19 Sa’an nan Allah ya buɗe idanunta ta ga wata rijiyar ruwa. Don haka sai ta tafi ta cika salkan da ruwa, ta kuma ba wa yaron ruwa ya sha.
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.

22 A lokacin nan Abimelek da Fikol, komandan rundunoninsa suka zo suka ce wa Ibrahim, “Allah yana tare da kai a ko mene ne kake yi.
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.
23 Yanzu ka rantse mini a nan a gaban Allah cewa, ba za ka yaudare ni ko’ya’yana ko kuma zuriyata ba. Ka nuna mini alheri, kai da ƙasar da kake zama baƙunci kamar yadda na nuna maka.”
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.”
24 Ibrahim ya ce, “Na rantse.”
So Abraham promised to do that.
25 Sa’an nan Ibrahim ya kawo kuka ga Abimelek game da rijiyar ruwan da bayin Abimelek suka ƙwace.
[Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
26 Sai Abimelek ya ce, “Ban san wanda ya yi wannan ba. Ba ka faɗa mini ba, ban kuwa taɓa ji ba, sai yau.”
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.”
27 Sai Ibrahim ya kawo tumaki da shanu ya ba wa Abimelek, sai su biyun suka yi yarjejjeniya.
So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
28 Ibrahim ya ware’yan raguna bakwai daga cikin garke,
Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
29 sai Abimelek ya ce wa Ibrahim, “Mene ne ma’anar’yan raguna bakwai da ka keɓe?”
Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
30 Ibrahim ya amsa ya ce, “Ka karɓi waɗannan’yan tumaki bakwai daga hannuna a matsayin shaida cewa ni ne na haƙa wannan rijiya.”
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.”
31 Saboda haka aka kira wurin Beyersheba, domin a nan ne su biyun suka yi rantsuwa.
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.
32 Bayan da aka yi yarjejjeniya a Beyersheba, sai Abimelek da Fikol, komandan rundunoninsa suka koma ƙasar Filistiyawa.
After they made the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and his army commander, Phicol, left, and returned to the land of the Philistine people-group.
