Genesisy 21
1 Ary Jehovah namangy an’ i Saraha araka ilay efa nolazainy, ary dia nataon’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Saraha araka ilay efa noteneniny.
The Lord came to help Sarah as he'd said he would. The Lord did for Sarah what he'd promised.
2 Dia nanan’ anaka Saraha ka niteraka zazalahy tamin’ i Abrahama, rehefa antitra izy, tamin’ ny fotoana izay efa nolazain’ Andriamanitra taminy.
She became pregnant and had a son for Abraham when he was old, at the exact time God said she would.
3 Ary ny anaran’ ny zanany izay teraka, ilay naterak’ i Saraha taminy dia nataon’ i Abrahama hoe Isaka.
Abraham named their son Isaac.
4 Dia noforan’ i Abrahama Isaka zanany, rehefa teraka havaloana izy, araka izay efa nandidian’ Andriamanitra azy.
Abraham circumcised him when Isaac was eight days old, following God's command.
5 Ary efa zato taona Abrahama, raha niteraka an’ i Isaka zanany izy.
Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born.
6 Ary hoy Saraha: Efa nampihomehezin’ Andriamanitra aho; izay rehetra mandre dia hiara-mihomehy amiko.
Sarah declared, “God has made me laugh, and all those who hear about this will laugh with me.”
7 Ary hoy koa izy: Nampoizin’ iza akory moa no hilaza amin’ i Abrahama fa hampinono zaza Saraha? kanjo efa niteraka zazalahy taminy aho, rehefa antitra izy.
She also said, “Would anyone have announced to Abraham that Sarah was going to have children to nurse? But now I have had a son for Abraham even when he was old!”
8 Ary rehefa lehibe ny zaza, dia notazana; ary Abrahama nanao fanasana lehibe tamin’ ny andro nanotazana an’ Isaka.
The baby grew up, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a large feast.
9 Ary Saraha nahita fa nihomehy ny zanak’ i Hagara Egyptiana, izay efa naterany tamin’ i Abrahama.
But Sarah noticed that Ishmael, Hagar the Egyptian's son she'd had for Abraham, was making fun of Isaac.
10 Dia hoy izy tamin’ i Abrahama: Roahy io andevovavy io sy ny zanany; fa ny zanak’ io andevovavy io tsy hiray lova amin’ ny zanako, dia amin’ Isaka.
So she went to Abraham and told him, “You have to get rid of this slave woman and this son of hers! A slave woman's son is not going to be one of your heirs and inherit together with my son Isaac!”
11 Fa ratsy teo imason’ i Abrahama indrindra izany teny izany noho ny amin’ ny zanany.
Abraham felt very bad about it because Ishmael was his son.
12 Ary hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Abrahama: Aoka tsy ho ratsy eo imasonao ny amin’ ny zaza sy ny andevovavinao; fa izay rehetra lazain’ i Saraha aminao, dia ekeo ny teniny, fa avy amin’ Isaka no hantsoina izay taranaka ho anao.
But God told Abraham, “Don't feel bad about the boy and the slave woman. Do whatever Sarah tells you, because it's through Isaac that your descendants will be counted.
13 Nefa ny zanaky ny andevovavy kosa dia hataoko ho firenena, satria terakao ihany izy.
Don't worry—I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation because he's your son.”
14 Dia nifoha maraina koa Abrahama ka naka mofo sy siny hoditra iray feno rano, ary nomeny an’ i Hagara ka napetrany teo an-tsorony ary natolony azy koa ny zaza, dia nampandehaniny izy mianaka; ary lasa nandeha izy ka nirenireny tany an-efitr’ i Beri-sheba.
Abraham got up early the next morning. He packed up some food and a skin of water which he gave to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder. Then he sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered through the Desert of Beersheba.
15 Ary rehefa lany ny rano tao amin’ ny siny hoditra, dia nariany teo am-pototry ny hazo kely anankiray ny zaza.
When the water ran out, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
16 Dia lasa izy ka nipetraka terỳ lavidavitra tandrifiny, tokony ho tra-tsipìka; fa hoy izy: Aza mba ho hitako anie izay hahafatesan’ ny zaza. Ary nipetraka tandrifiny izy, dia nanandratra ny feony nitomany.
She went and sat down some way off, a few hundred yards away, saying, “I can't bear to watch my son die!” As she sat down she burst into tears.
17 Ary ren’ Andriamanitra ny feon’ ny zaza, dia niantso an’ i Hagara Ilay Anjelin’ Andriamanitra tany an-danitra ka nanao taminy hoe: Inona izato manjo anao, ry Hagara? Aza matahotra, fa efa ren’ Andriamanitra ny feon’ ny zaza eo amin’ ny itoerany.
God heard the boy's cries, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and asked her, “What's the matter, Hagar? Don't be afraid! God has heard the boy crying from where he is.
18 Mitsangana, areno ny zaza, ka tantano; fa hataoko firenena lehibe izy.
Get up, go over and help the boy up, and encourage him, for I will make him into a great nation.”
19 Dia nampahiratin’ Andriamanitra ny mason’ i Hagara, ka nahita lavaka fantsakana izy; ary lasa izy, dia nameno rano ny siny hoditra ka nampisotro rano ny zaza.
God opened her eyes and she saw a well nearby. She went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
20 Ary nomban’ Andriamanitra ny zaza, dia nitombo izy; ary nonina tany an-efitra izy ka nony efa lehibe dia tonga mpandefa tsipìka.
God blessed Ishmael and he grew up, living in the desert. He became a skilled archer.
21 Ary nonina tany an-efitra Parana izy ka nakan’ ny reniny vady avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta izy.
He lived in the Desert of Paran. His mother chose a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany Abimeleka sy Pikola, komandin’ ny miaramilany, dia niteny tamin’ i Abrahama ka nanao hoe: Omban’ Andriamanitra ianao amin’ izay rehetra ataonao;
Around this time Abimelech came with Phicol, the commander of his army, to see Abraham. “God blesses you in everything you do,” Abimelech said.
23 koa ankehitriny ianiano amin’ Andriamanitra aho fa tsy hamitaka ahy na ny zanako na ny taranako ianao; fa araka ny soa izay efa nataoko taminao no mba ataovy amiko sy amin’ ny tany izay ivahinianao.
“So swear to me right here and now that you won't betray me, my children, or my descendants. In the same way I've proved I'm trustworthy to you, do the same to me and my country where you're currently living.”
24 Ary hoy Abrahama: Hianiana ihany aho.
“I so swear,” Abraham replied.
25 Ary Abrahama nananatra an’ i Abimeleka noho ny lavaka fantsakana anankiray izay efa nalain’ ny mpanompon’ i Abimeleka an-keriny
Then Abraham raised an issue with Abimelech of a well that Abimelech's servants had taken by force.
26 Dia hoy Abimeleka: Tsy fantatro izay nanao izany; fa ianao tsy mbola nanambara tamiko, ary izaho koa tsy mba nahare, raha tsy vao izao.
“I don't know who did this, and you didn't mention it before. I haven't heard anything about it until today,” Abimelech responded.
27 Ary Abrahama naka ondry aman’ osy sy omby, ka nomeny an’ i Abimeleka; dia nanao fanekena izy roa lahy.
Then Abraham gave Abimelech some of his sheep and cattle, and the two of them made an agreement.
28 Ary Abrahama nanokana ondrivavikely fito navahana tamin’ ny ondry.
Abraham also separated out seven female lambs from the flock.
29 Ary hoy Abimeleka tamin’ i Abrahama: Hatao inona ireo ondrivavy kely fito natokanao ireo?
“What are these seven female lambs for that you've separated from the flock?” Abimelech asked.
30 Ary hoy izy: Mba horaisinao avy amin’ ny tanako ireo ondrivavy kely fito ireo ho vavolombelona amiko fa izaho nihady io lavaka fantsakana io.
“I'm giving you these seven female lambs in return for your admission that I dug this well,” Abraham replied.
31 Izany no nanaovana io tany io hoe Beri-sheba; satria teo no nianianan’ izy roa lahy.
That's why he called the place Beersheba, because the two of them swore and oath to each other.
32 Dia nanao fanekena tany Beri-sheba izy; ary dia niainga Abimeleka sy Pikola, komandin’ ny miaramilany, ka niverina ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina.
After making the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army left and went home to the country of the Philistines.
33 Dia namboly hazo tamariska tany Beri-sheba Abrahama ka tao no niantsoany ny anaran’ i Jehovah, dia Andriamanitra Mandrakizay.
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and there he worshiped the Lord, the Eternal God.
34 Ary Abrahama nivahiny elaela ihany tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina.
Abraham lived in the country of the Philistines for a long time.
