Genesisy 21
1 Aa le nitilike i Sarà t’Iehovà amy nitsara’ey, le nanoe’ Iehovà amy Sarà i nitsarae’ey.
Yahweh was very kind to Sarah, just as he said he would be. He did for Sarah exactly what he promised to do.
2 Niareñe t’i Sarà vaho nahatoly ana-dahy ho a i Avrahame amy haantera’ey amy andro namantañañ’ aze amy tsinaran’ Añaharey.
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Abraham when he was very old, at the time God promised it would happen.
3 Nimea’ i Avrahame añarañe ty hoe Ietsàke i ana-dahy nitoly ama’ey, i nasama’ i Sarà ho azey.
Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to.
4 Nisavare’ i Avrahame t’Ietsàk’ ana’e ami’ty andro’e fahavalo amy nandilian’ Añahare azey.
Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do.
5 Zato taoñe t’i Avrahame te nahatoly Ietsake ana’e.
Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
6 Hoe t’i Sarà, Nampihehen’ Añahare iraho, vaho mitrao-piankahak’ amako ze hene mahajanjiñe ty amako.
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.”
7 Tinovo’e ty hoe, Ia ty ho nanao ty hoe amy Avrahame te hampinono ajaja t’i Sarà? Ie nahatoly anake amy haantera’ey.
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 Nitombo i ajajay vaho niotàñe, le nanao takataka t’i Avrahame amy andro nañota’e azey,
The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.
9 fe niisa’ i Sarà te ninje’ Iesmaèle ana’ i Khagare nte-Mitsraime nisamahe’e ho a i Avrahamey,
([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.
10 le hoe re amy Avrahame, Soiho añe i ondevo-ampelay naho i ana’ey, fa le lia’e tsy hitrao-dova am’ Ietsàk’ anako ty ana’ i ondevo-ampelay.
So she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman from Egypt and her son! I do not want the son of that slave woman to be alone (OR, to be an heir along with) my son, Isaac!”
11 Haloviloviañe am-pahaoniña’ i Avrahame i hoe zay ty amy ana-dahi’ey.
Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].
12 Fa hoe t’i Andrianañahare ama’e, Ko apo’o hampioremeñ’ azo i jolingay naho i ampela mpitoro’oy. Janjiño ze saontsie’ i Sarà, ze feo’e iaby ama’o, amy te Ietsàke ty hikanjiañe o tarira’oo.
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 Hanoeko fifeheañe ka ty ana’ i mpitoro’o ampelay amy te tiri’o.
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.”
14 Ie nañampitso amy loak’ àndroy, le nandrambe mofo t’i Avrahame naho rano an-kolitsena naho natolo’e amy Khagare, nasampe’e an-tsoro’e; le natolo’e aze ka i jolingay vaho nirahe’e mb’eo. Nienga re vaho nirererere am-patrambei’ i Beersevà añe.
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 Ie nikapaike i rano an-kolitsenay le nakafi’e ambane rongoñe ao i kimosoy.
After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.
16 Le nisitsitse, niambesatse tandrife aze amy ze ho taka-pilereñe ey fa hoe re: Lonike te tsy hahatrea ty fivetrahan’ anakoo. Aa le nitobòke marine eo re vaho nañonjo-peo nangololoike.
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 Jinanjin’ Añahare ty feo’ i jolingay, le kinanji’ ty anjelin’ Añahare boak’ andikerañe ao t’i Khagare vaho nanoa’e ty hoe, O Khagare, ino o mañore azoo? Ko hemban-drehe, fa jinanjin’ Añahare ty feo’ i jolinga eiy.
[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 Miongaha, atroaro i jolingay le rambeso am-pità’o, amy te hanoeko foko ra’elahy.
Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
19 Aa le sinokan’ Añahare o fihaino’eo vaho nioni’e ty vovoñe aman-drano. Aa le nimb’ eo re, nampipea rano amy holitsènay vaho nampinoñe i jolingay.
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.
20 Taman’ Añahare i jolingay, le nihabey naho nimoneñe andratraratra añe vaho ninjare mpitàm-pale.
God helped the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became a good (archer/man who hunts with bow and arrows).
21 Ie nitobok’ am-patrambei’ i Parane ao, le nangala’ i rene’e valy boak’e Mitsraime añe.
He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.
22 Ie henane zay nanao ty hoe amy Avrahame t’i Abimeleke naho i Pikole mpifehe o lahindefo’eo, Ama’o t’i Andrianañahare amy ze fanoe’o iaby.
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 Aa le mifantà amako etoañe aman’ Añahare te tsy ho fañahie’o Iraho naho i anakoy naho ty anan’ anako; fa i fitretrezako ama’oy naho i tane nañialoa’oy ty anoa’o amako.
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 Le hoe t’i Avrahame: Ifantàko!
So Abraham promised to do that.
25 Le nendaha’ i Avrahame t’i Abimeleke ty amy vovon-drano tinava’ o mpitoro’eoy,
[Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
26 le hoe t’i Abimeleke, amoeako ze nanao izay, tsy sinaontsi’o amako ‘nio, fa androany te tsinanoko.
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 Aa le nandrambe añondry naho añombe t’i Avrahame vaho natolo’e amy Abimeleke le nifañina ie roe.
So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
28 Navì’ i Avrahame amo añondri’eo ty vi’e vave fito.
Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
29 Le hoe t’i Abimelek’ amy Avrahame, Ino o vi’e vave fito navi’oo?
Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
30 Hoe re, Rambeso an-tañako o vik’ añondry vave fito retiañe ho valolombeloñe amako te izaho ro nihaly ty vovoñe toy.
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 Aa le natao ty hoe Beersevà i toetse zay; amy te nifañina eo iereo roe.
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 Aa ie fa nifañina e Beersevà ao, le nimpoly mb’an-tane’ o nte-Pilistio mb’eo t’i Abimeleke naho i Pikole mpifehen-dahin-defo’e.
After they made the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and his army commander, Phicol, left, and returned to the land of the Philistine people-group.
33 Nambole kile raike e Beersevà ao t’i Avrahame vaho eo ro nikanjia’e ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare nainay donia.
Abraham planted a (tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel) there, and he worshiped the eternal God there.
34 Le nañialo an-tane nte-Pilisty añe andro maro t’i Avrahame.
Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
