1 Onyenwe anyị jiri amara leta Sera dịka o kwuru na ọ ga-eme. Onyenwe anyị meere Sera ihe o kwere na nkwa.
And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;
2 Sera tụụrụ ime, mụọra Ebraham nwa nwoke nʼoge o merela agadi. Ọ mụrụ ya nʼoge ahụ a kara aka Chineke kwere ya na nkwa.
and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;
3 Ebraham gụrụ nwantakịrị ahụ Sera mụụrụ ya aha, kpọọ ya Aịzik.
and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him — Isaac;
4 Mgbe Aịzik nọrọ ụbọchị asatọ site nʼụbọchị a mụrụ ya, Ebraham biri ya ugwu dịka Chineke si nye ya nʼiwu.
and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
5 Ebraham agbaala narị afọ mgbe a mụrụ Aịzik nwa ya nwoke.
And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,
6 Nʼoge ahụ, Sera kwuru sị, “Chineke ewetarala m ọchị. Ndị niile nụrụ akụkọ a ga-esoro m chịa ọchị.”
and Sarah saith, 'God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'
7 O kwukwara sị, “Onye gaara agwa Ebraham sị ya na Sera ga-azụlite ụmụntakịrị. Ma otu ọ dị, amụtarala m ya nwa nwoke ugbu a o merela agadi.”
She saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'
8 Nwata ahụ tokwara, ruo mgbe a kwụsịrị ya ara. Nʼụbọchị ahụ a kwụsịrị ya ara, Ebraham kpọrọ oriri.
And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;
9 Ma mgbe Sera hụrụ na nwa nwoke ahụ Hega onye Ijipt mụtaara Ebraham nọ na-akwa emo,
and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,
10 ọ gwara Ebraham okwu sị ya, “Chụpụ ohu nwanyị a na nwa ya. Nʼihi na nwa nwoke ohu nwanyị agaghị eso nwa m nwoke Aịzik keta oke nʼihe nketa.”
and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with Isaac.'
11 Okwu a wutere Ebraham nke ukwuu nʼihi na ihe banyere nwa ya nwoke Ishmel na-emetụ ya nʼobi.
And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;
12 Ma Chineke gwara Ebraham sị, “Ekwela ka obi jọọ gị njọ nʼihi nwantakịrị a na ohu gị nwanyị. Gee ntị nʼihe ọbụla Sera gwara gị. Nʼihi na ọ bụ site nʼAịzik ka a ga-akpọ mkpụrụ gị aha.
and God saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.
13 Aga m eme ka nwa gị nwoke nke ohu gị mụtara ghọọ mba dị ukwuu, nʼihi na mkpụrụ afọ gị ka ọ bụ.”
As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.'
14 Ebraham biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, kwadoo ihe oriri na mmiri ọṅụṅụ nke dị nʼime karama akpụkpọ, bunye ha Hega. O bukwasịrị ha nʼubu Hega, zipụ ya na nwa ya nwoke. Hega si nʼebe ahụ pụọ wagharịa nʼime ọzara Bịasheba.
And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
15 Mgbe mmiri dị na karama akpụkpọ ahụ gwụsịrị, o nibere nwantakịrị ahụ nʼokpuru otu osisi ọhịa.
and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.
16 Hapụ ya gaa nọdụ ala nʼebe dịtụ anya, ihe dịka narị nzọ ụkwụ, nʼihi na o kwuru nʼobi ya sị, “Achọghị m ịhụ nwantakịrị nwoke a anya mgbe ọ na-anwụ.” Mgbe ọ nọdụrụ ebe ahụ, o bidoro ịkwa akwa.
And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
17 Ma Chineke nụrụ ịkwa akwa nwantakịrị nwoke ahụ. Mmụọ ozi Chineke sikwa na mbara eluigwe kpọọ Hega oku sị ya, “Hega, gịnị na-eme gị? Atụla egwu, nʼihi na Chineke anụla olu akwa nwantakịrị ahụ nʼebe ahụ o dina.
And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];
18 Gaa kulite nwantakịrị ahụ kasịe ya obi, nʼihi na aga m eme ya ka ọ ghọọ mba dị ukwuu.”
rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
19 Mgbe ahụ, Chineke meghere anya ya, mee ka ọ hụ olulu mmiri dị nʼebe ahụ. Ọ gara kujuo karama akpụkpọ ahụ mmiri, ma nye nwantakịrị ahụ mmiri ka ọ ṅụọ.
And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;
20 Chineke nọnyeere nwantakịrị ahụ mgbe ọ na-eto. O biri nʼọzara ahụ ghọọ onye na-agba àkụ nke ọma.
and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;
21 Mgbe o bi nʼọzara Paran, nne ya chọtaara ya nwunye site nʼIjipt.
and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
22 Nʼoge a, Abimelek na Fikọl onyeisi ndị agha ya, bịakwutere Ebraham sị ya, “Chineke nọnyeere gị nʼihe niile ị na-eme.
And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, 'God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;
23 Ugbu a, ṅụọra m iyi nʼaha Chineke na ị gaghị aghọgbu m maọbụ ghọgbuo ụmụ m, maọbụ ụmụ ụmụ m. Gosi m nʼobodo a i bi nʼime ya dịka onye ọbịa ụdị obiọma m gosiri gị.”
and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
24 Ebraham zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, aga m aṅụrụ gị iyi.”
And Abraham saith, 'I — I do swear.'
25 Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham kọsaara Abimelek ihe banyere olulu mmiri nke ndị na-ejere ya ozi ji anya ike nara ndị na-ejere Ebraham ozi.
And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,
26 Abimelek zara sị, “Amaghị m onye mere ihe dị otu a. Ị gwaghị m na ihe dị otu a mere, anụghị m ya ma ọ bụghị naanị taa.”
and Abimelech saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'
27 Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham kpụpụtara atụrụ, na ehi, nye Abimelek. Ha abụọ gbara ndụ nkwekọrịta.
And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
28 Mgbe Ebraham sitere nʼigwe atụrụ ya wepụta nne atụrụ asaa nupu ha ka ha nọpụ iche,
and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Abimelek jụrụ Ebraham sị ya, “Gịnị ka i ji nne atụrụ asaa ndị a ị họpụtara iche eme?”
And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, 'What [are] they — these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
30 Ebraham zara sị, “Nabata ụmụ atụrụ asaa ndị a dịka ihe akaebe na-egosi na ọ bụ m gwuru olulu mmiri a.”
And he saith, 'For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;'
31 Ya mere, e bidoro ịkpọ ebe ahụ Bịasheba, nʼihi na nʼebe ahụ ka mmadụ abụọ a nọ ṅụrịtaara onwe ha iyi.
therefore hath he called that place 'Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
32 Mgbe ha gbachara ndụ nkwekọrịta na Bịasheba, Abimelek na Fikọl onyeisi agha ya laghachiri azụ nʼala ndị Filistia.
And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;
33 Ebraham kụrụ osisi tamarisk na Bịasheba. Ebe ahụ ka ọ nọ kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ebighị ebi.
and [Abraham] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;
34 Ebraham bigidere nʼala ndị Filistia ogologo oge.
and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
