UGenesisi 21
1 Ngakho uThixo waba lomusa kuSara njengoba wayetshilo, uThixo wamenzela uSara lokho ayekuthembisile.
And Yahweh he visited Sarah just as he had said and he did Yahweh to Sarah just as he had spoken.
2 USara wazithwala wazalela u-Abhrahama ebudaleni bakhe indodana ngesikhathi sonaleso uNkulunkulu ayemthembise sona.
And she conceived and she bore Sarah to Abraham a son of old age his to the appointed time which he had spoken with him God.
3 U-Abhrahama wayitha ibizo elithi Isaka leyondodana ayizalelwa nguSara.
And he called Abraham [the] name of son his who had been born to him whom she had borne to him Sarah Isaac.
4 Kwathi indodana yakhe u-Isaka isilensuku eziyisificaminwembili izelwe, u-Abhrahama wayisoka, njengoba walaywa nguNkulunkulu.
And he circumcised Abraham Isaac son his a son of eight days just as he had commanded him God.
5 U-Abhrahama wayeseleminyaka elikhulu ekuzalweni kwendodana yakhe u-Isaka.
And Abraham [was] a son of one hundred year[s] when was born to him Isaac son his.
6 USara wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengilethele intokozo, njalo bonke abazakuzwa lokhu bazathokoza lami.”
And she said Sarah laughter he has made for me God everyone who hears he will laugh to me.
7 Wabuye wengeza wathi, “Kambe ngubani obengatsho ku-Abhrahama ukuthi uSara angondla abantwana? Kodwa sengimzalele indodana ebudaleni bakhe.”
And she said who? has he said to Abraham she has suckled children Sarah for I have borne a son of old age his.
8 Wakhula umntwana, walunyulwa, kwathi mhla u-Isaka elunyulwa u-Abhrahama wenza idili elikhulu.
And he grew up the child and he was weaned and he prepared Abraham a feast great on [the] day was weaned Isaac.
9 Kodwa uSara wabona ukuthi indodana kaHagari umGibhithe, ayeyizalele u-Abhrahama yayikloloda,
And she saw Sarah [the] son of Hagar the Egyptian whom she had borne to Abraham mocking.
10 wasesithi ku-Abhrahama, “Mxotshe umfazi lo oyisigqili kanye lendodana yakhe, ngoba indodana yesigqilikazi lesi kayisoze yabelana ilifa lendodana yami u-Isaka.”
And she said to Abraham drive out the slave woman this and son her for not he will inherit [the] son of the slave woman this with son my with Isaac.
11 Indaba le yamhlupha kakhulu u-Abhrahama ngoba yayithintana lendodana yakhe.
And it was displeasing the matter exceedingly in [the] eyes of Abraham on [the] causes of son his.
12 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kuye, “Ungakhathazeki kakhulu ngomfana kanye lesigqilikazi sakho. Lalela konke uSara akutshela khona ngoba isizukulwane sakho sizabalwa ngo-Isaka.
And he said God to Abraham may not it be displeasing in view your on the lad and on slave woman your all that she says to you Sarah listen to voice her for in Isaac it will be named of you offspring.
13 Indodana le eyesigqilikazi layo ngizayenza ibe yisizwe ngoba iyinzalo yakho.”
And also [the] son of the slave woman into a nation I will make him for [is] offspring your he.
14 Ngosuku olulandelayo ekuseni kakhulu u-Abhrahama wathatha ukudla lesigxingi samanzi wakunika uHagari. Wakwetshata emahlombe kaHagari, wasebakhupha lomfana. Owesifazane wasuka wayantula enkangala yaseBherishebha.
And he rose early Abraham - in the morning and he took food and a skin of water and he gave [them] to Hagar placing on shoulder her and the boy and he sent away her and she went and she wandered in [the] wilderness of Beer Sheba.
15 Esephelile amanzi esigxingini, wabeka umntwana ngaphansi kwesixuku.
And they were finished the water from the skin and she threw the boy under one of the bushes.
16 Yena wasuka wayahlala bucwadlana, okungaba libanga lokuphosa umtshoko, ngoba wacabanga wathi, “Ngeke ngibukele umfana esifa.” Kwathi ehlezi khonapho bucwala wakhala ebubula.
And she went and she sat for herself from before at a distance like [the] shooters of a bow for she said may not I look on [the] death of the boy and she sat from before and she lifted up voice her and she wept.
17 UNkulunkulu wamuzwa umfanyana ekhala, ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yasibiza uHagari isezulwini yathi kuye, “Kwenzenjani, Hagari? Ungesabi; uNkulunkulu usekuzwile ukukhala komfana elele khonaphayana.
And he heard God [the] sound of the lad and he called [the] angel of God - to Hagar from the heavens and he said to her what? [is] to you O Hagar may not you be afraid for he has heard God [the] sound of the lad at where he [is] there.
18 Mphakamise umfana umbambe ngesandla, ngoba ngizamenza abe yisizwe esikhulu.”
Arise lift up the lad and take hold hand your on him for into a nation great I will make him.
19 UNkulunkulu wasemvula amehlo, wabona umthombo wamanzi. Ngakho wasesiyagcwalisa umgodla ngamanzi wapha umfana wanatha.
And he opened God eyes her and she saw a well of water and she went and she filled the skin water and she gave a drink to the lad.
20 UNkulunkulu wayelaye umfana ekhula. Wahlala enkangala waba ngumcibi womtshoko.
And he was God with the lad and he grew up and he dwelt in the wilderness and he was a shooter a bowman.
21 Wathi ehlala eNkangala yasePharani, unina wamdingela umfazi eGibhithe.
And he dwelt in [the] wilderness of Paran and she took for him mother his a wife from [the] land of Egypt.
22 Ngalesosikhathi u-Abhimelekhi loFikholi, umlawuli wamabutho akhe bathi ku-Abhrahama, “UNkulunkulu ulawe kukho konke okwenzayo.
And it was at the time that and he said Abimelech and Phicol [the] commander of army his to Abraham saying God [is] with you in all that you [are] doing.
23 Khathesi-ke funga kimi khonapha phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuthi kawusoze wenze izinto zobuqili kimi, loba ebantwaneni bami loba kuzizukulwane zami. Tshengisa kimi lakulo ilizwe ohlezi kulo njengesizwe wona lowomusa engikwenzele wona.”
And therefore swear! to me by God here if you will deal falsely to me and to posterity my and to progeny my according to the loyalty which I have done with you you will do with me and with the land which you have sojourned in it.
24 U-Abhrahama wathi, “Ngiyafunga.”
And he said Abraham I I will swear.
25 U-Abhrahama wasesola ku-Abhimelekhi ngomthombo izinceku zika-Abhimelekhi ezaziwuthumbile.
And he rebuked Abraham Abimelech on [the] causes of [the] well of water which they had seized [the] servants of Abimelech.
26 Kodwa u-Abhimelekhi wathi, “Angikwazi ukuthi ngubani okwenzileyo lokho. Kawuzange ungitshele, sekuyikhona ngikuzwa nje lamhla.”
And he said Abimelech not I know who? has he done the thing this and also you not you told to me and also I not I heard except this day.
27 Ngakho u-Abhrahama waletha izimvu lenkomo wazipha u-Abhimelekhi, amadoda womabili enza isivumelwano.
And he took Abraham sheep and cattle and he gave [them] to Abimelech and they made [the] two of them a covenant.
28 U-Abhrahama wehlukanisa amazinyane amasikazi ayisikhombisa emhlambini,
And he set Abraham seven ewe-lambs of the flock to alone them.
29 u-Abhimelekhi wambuza u-Abhrahama wathi, “Atshoni amazinyane la amasikazi ayisikhombisa owehlukanise emhlambini wawabeka wodwa na?”
And he said Abimelech to Abraham what? [are] they seven ewe-lambs these which you have set to alone them.
30 Waphendula wathi, “Yamukela ezandleni zami amazinyane la ayisikhombisa njengobufakazi bokuthi yimi engemba umthombo lo.”
And he said that seven ewe-lambs you will take from hand my in order that it may become for me a witness for I dug the well this.
31 Ngakho indawo leyo yathiwa yiBherishebha ngoba amadoda la womabili enza isifungo khonapho.
There-fore he called the place that Beer Sheba for there they swore an oath [the] two of them.
32 Ngemva kokuba isivumelwano sesibotshiwe eBherishebha, u-Abhimelekhi loFikholi umlawuli wamabutho akhe babuyela elizweni lamaFilistiya.
And they made a covenant at Beer Sheba and he arose Abimelech and Phicol [the] commander of army his and they returned to [the] land of [the] Philistines.
33 U-Abhrahama wahlanyela isihlahla sethamarisiki eBherishebha, khonapho walibiza ibizo likaThixo, uNkulunkulu Waphakade.
And he planted a tamarisk tree in Beer Sheba and he called there on [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of perpetuity.
34 U-Abhrahama wahlala elizweni lamaFilistiya okwesikhathi eside.
And he sojourned Abraham in [the] land of [the] Philistines days many.
