< Kenehi 21 >
1 Na ka tirohia mai a Hara e Ihowa, ka peratia me tana i korero ai, a rite tonu ki tana kupu ta Ihowa i mea ai ki a Hara.
Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
2 Na ka hapu a Hara, a ka whanau he tama ma Aperahama i tona koroheketanga i te wa ano i whakaritea e te Atua ki a ia.
So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
3 Na ka huaina e Aperahama te ingoa o tana tama i whanau nei mana, i whanau mai nei i a Hara, ko Ihaka.
And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
4 A, ka waru ona ra, ka kotia e Aperahama a Ihaka, tana tama, ka peratia me ta te Atua i whakahau ai ki a ia.
When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
5 A kotahi rua nga tau o Aperahama i te whanautanga o tana tama, o Ihaka.
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Na ka mea a Hara, Kua meinga ahau e te Atua kia kata; a ka kata tahi matou ko nga tangata e rongo mai ana.
Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
7 A i mea ano ia, Ko wai o mua hei mea ki a Aperahama, tera e whakangote tamariki a Hara? kua whanau nei i ahau he tama mana, i a ia kua koroheketia.
She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8 Na ka tupu te tamaiti ra, a ka whakamutua tana kai u: na ka tukua e Aperahama tetahi hakari nui i te ra i whakamutua ai te ngote u a Ihaka.
So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
9 A ka kite a Hara i te tama a Hakara, a te wahine o Ihipa, i whanau nei i a raua ko Aperahama, e kata whakahawea ana.
But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
10 Na ka mea ia ki a Aperahama, Peia atu tenei pononga me tana tama: e kore rawa te tama a tenei wahine pononga e tu tahi me taku tama, me Ihaka, i nga whakarerenga iho.
and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”
11 A ko taua mea he he rawa ki te titiro a Aperahama, ko tana tama hoki ia.
Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
12 Ka mea te Atua ki a Aperahama, Kei kino tena ki tau titiro, kaua e whakaaro ki te tamaiti raua ko tau pononga wahine; engari i nga mea katoa i korero ai a Hara ki a koe, whakarongo atu ki tona reo; kei a Ihaka hoki te karangatanga mo tou uri.
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.
13 Na, ko te tama a te pononga wahine, ka meinga ia e ahau hei iwi, no te mea he uri ia nou.
But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
14 Na ka maranga wawe a Aperahama i te ata, ka mau ki tetahi taro, ki tetahi taha wai, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Hakara, whakawaha ana ki tona pokohiwi, me te tamaiti hoki, a tonoa atu ana: na ka haere ia, ka kopikopiko i te koraha o Peerehepa.
Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
15 A kau pau te wai i roto i te taha, na whakarerea iho e ia te tamaiti i raro i tetahi rakau iti.
When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
16 Na ka haere ia, a ka noho mai i tawhiti, me te anga nui mai ano ki a ia, he pera te matara me te taunga pere: i mea hoki ia, Kei kite ahau i te matenga o te tamaiti. Na ka noho ia me te aronui mai ki a ia, a ka puaki tona reo, ka tangi.
Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I cannot bear to watch the boy die!” And as she sat nearby, she lifted up her voice and wept.
17 A i rongo te Atua ki te reo o te tamaiti: a ka karanga mai te anahera a te Atua ki a Hakara i runga i te rangi, ka mea ki a ia, He aha kei a koe, e Hakara? kaua e wehi; kua rongo hoki te Atua ki te reo o te tamaiti i a ia e takoto na.
Then God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he lies.
18 Whakatika, hapainga ake te tamaiti, puritia hoki ki tou ringa; no te mea ka meinga ia e ahau hei iwi nui.
Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
19 Na ka whakatirohia e te Atua ona kanohi, a ka kite ia i tetahi puna wai: na ka haere ia, ka whakaki i te taha ki te wai, a whakainumia ana te tamaiti.
Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
20 A i noho te Atua ki te tamaiti, a ka tupu ia; i noho ia i te koraha, a ka mohio ki te kopere.
And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
21 Na ka noho ia ki te koraha o Parana: a ka tikina atu e tona whaea he wahine mana i te whenua o Ihipa.
And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 A i taua wa ano ka korero a Apimereke raua ko Pikora, ko te rangatira o tana ope, ki a Aperahama, ka mea, Na kei a koe te Atua i nga mea katoa e mea ai koe:
At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
23 Tena oatitia mai te Atua ki ahau, e kore koe e teka ki ahau, ki taku tama, ki te tama ranei a taku tama; engari ka rite ki te aroha i whakaputaina e ahau ki a koe tau mahi ki ahau, ki te whenua ano hoki i noho nei koe.
Now, therefore, swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
24 Na ka mea a Aperahama, Ka oati ahau.
And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
25 Na ka whakawa a Aperahama i a Apimereke mo tetahi puna wai i murua e nga tangata a Apimereke.
But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
26 Na ka mea a Apimereke, Kahore ahau e mohio na wai ranei tenei mahi: kihai hoki koe i korero mai ki ahau, a kihai ahau i rongo, no tenei ra tonu.
Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”
27 Na ka tikina e Aperahama he hipi, he kau, ka hoatu ki a Apimereke; na ka whakarite kawenata raua.
So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
28 Na ka wehea e Aperahama ki tahaki e whitu nga reme uha o nga hipi.
Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
29 A ka mea a Apimereke ki a Aperahama, He aha te tikanga o enei reme uha e whitu i wehea nei e koe ki tahaki?
and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
30 Ka mea ia, Ko enei reme uha e whitu me tango e koe i toku ringa, kia ai enei mea hei whakaatu maku, naku i keri tenei poka.
He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
31 Na reira i huaina ai e ia taua wahi ko Peerehepa; no raua hoki oati ki reira.
So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
32 Heoi whakaritea ana e raua te kawenata i Peerehepa: a ka whakatika a Apimereke raua ko Pikora, ko te rangatira o tana ope, a hoki ana ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini.
After they had made the covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army got up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
33 Na ka whakatokia e Aperahama he rakau, he tamarihi, ki Peerehepa, a ka karanga i reira ki te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua ora tonu.
And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
34 A ka noho a Aperahama ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini mo nga ra maha.
And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
