UGenesisi 21
1 Ngakho uThixo waba lomusa kuSara njengoba wayetshilo, uThixo wamenzela uSara lokho ayekuthembisile.
I KE mai la o Iehova ia Sara e like me kana i i mai ai; a hana mai la o Iehova ia Sara e like me kana i olelo mai ai.
2 USara wazithwala wazalela u-Abhrahama ebudaleni bakhe indodana ngesikhathi sonaleso uNkulunkulu ayemthembise sona.
No ka mea, hapai ae la o Sara, a hanau mai la he keikikane na Aberahama i kona wa elemakule; i ka manawa a ke Akua i olelo mai ai ia ia.
3 U-Abhrahama wayitha ibizo elithi Isaka leyondodana ayizalelwa nguSara.
Kapa aku la o Aberahama i ka inoa o kana keiki i hanau nana, i ka mea a Sara i hanau ai nana, o Isaaka.
4 Kwathi indodana yakhe u-Isaka isilensuku eziyisificaminwembili izelwe, u-Abhrahama wayisoka, njengoba walaywa nguNkulunkulu.
I ka po awalu, okipoepoe ae la o Aberahama i kana keiki ia Isaaka e like me ka ke Akua i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
5 U-Abhrahama wayeseleminyaka elikhulu ekuzalweni kwendodana yakhe u-Isaka.
Hookahi haneri makahiki o Aberahama i ka wa i hanau ai o Isaaka nana.
6 USara wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengilethele intokozo, njalo bonke abazakuzwa lokhu bazathokoza lami.”
I mai la o Sara, Ua hoakaaka mai no ke Akua ia'u, a e akaaka pu hoi me au ka poe lohe a pau.
7 Wabuye wengeza wathi, “Kambe ngubani obengatsho ku-Abhrahama ukuthi uSara angondla abantwana? Kodwa sengimzalele indodana ebudaleni bakhe.”
I mai la hoi oia, Owai ka mea i olelo ia Aberahama, e hanai auanei o Sara i na keiki i ka waiu? no ka mea, ua hanau iho nei au i keikikane nana i kona wa elemakule.
8 Wakhula umntwana, walunyulwa, kwathi mhla u-Isaka elunyulwa u-Abhrahama wenza idili elikhulu.
Nui ae la na keiki nei, a ukuhi ia: a hana iho la o Aberahama i ka ahaaina nui, i ka la a Isaaka i haalele ai i ka waiu.
9 Kodwa uSara wabona ukuthi indodana kaHagari umGibhithe, ayeyizalele u-Abhrahama yayikloloda,
Ike aku la o Sara i ke keiki a Hagara no Aigupita, i ka mea ana i hanau ai na Aberahama, e hoomaewaewa ana.
10 wasesithi ku-Abhrahama, “Mxotshe umfazi lo oyisigqili kanye lendodana yakhe, ngoba indodana yesigqilikazi lesi kayisoze yabelana ilifa lendodana yami u-Isaka.”
No ia mea, i mai la oia ia Aberahama, E hookuke aku oe i ua kauwawahine la a me kana keiki: no ka mea, aole e hooili pu ia'ku ka waiwai i ke keiki a ua kauwawahine la me ka'u keiki, me Isaaka.
11 Indaba le yamhlupha kakhulu u-Abhrahama ngoba yayithintana lendodana yakhe.
He mea ehaeha loa ia i ka manao o Aberahama, no kana keiki.
12 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kuye, “Ungakhathazeki kakhulu ngomfana kanye lesigqilikazi sakho. Lalela konke uSara akutshela khona ngoba isizukulwane sakho sizabalwa ngo-Isaka.
I mai la ke Akua ia Aberahama, Mai hoehaeha oe i kou naau no ke keiki, a no kau kauwawahine, e hoolohe aku oe i ka leo o Sara i ka mea a pau ana i olelo mai ai ia oe; no ka mea, e kapaia'ku kau poe mamo mamuli o Isaaka.
13 Indodana le eyesigqilikazi layo ngizayenza ibe yisizwe ngoba iyinzalo yakho.”
A e hoolilo auanei hoi au i ke keiki a ke kauwawahine i lahuikanaka, no ka mea, o kau keiki ia.
14 Ngosuku olulandelayo ekuseni kakhulu u-Abhrahama wathatha ukudla lesigxingi samanzi wakunika uHagari. Wakwetshata emahlombe kaHagari, wasebakhupha lomfana. Owesifazane wasuka wayantula enkangala yaseBherishebha.
Ala ae la o Aberahama i ke kakahiaka nui, lalau aku la ia i ka berena a me ka wai iloko o ka hue a haawi ae la ia Hagara, a kau aku la maluna o kona poohiwi, a me ke keiki no hoi, a kuu aku la ia ia: hele aku no ia, a kuewa wale ae la maloko o ka waonahele o Beeresaba.
15 Esephelile amanzi esigxingini, wabeka umntwana ngaphansi kwesixuku.
A pau ae la ka wai iloko o ka huewai, waiho iho la ia i ke keiki malalo o kekahi laau uuku.
16 Yena wasuka wayahlala bucwadlana, okungaba libanga lokuphosa umtshoko, ngoba wacabanga wathi, “Ngeke ngibukele umfana esifa.” Kwathi ehlezi khonapho bucwala wakhala ebubula.
Hele aku la ia, a noho iho la i kahi kupono ia ia, e mamao aku ana e like me ka pana ana o ka pua: no ka mea, i iho la ia, Aole au e pono ke ike i ka make ana o ke keiki Noho aku la ia i kahi kupono, a hookiekie ae la ia i kona leo, a uwe iho la.
17 UNkulunkulu wamuzwa umfanyana ekhala, ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yasibiza uHagari isezulwini yathi kuye, “Kwenzenjani, Hagari? Ungesabi; uNkulunkulu usekuzwile ukukhala komfana elele khonaphayana.
Hoolohe mai la ke Akua i ka leo o ke keiki; a kahea mai la ka anela o ke Akua ia Hagara mai ka lani mai, i mai la ia ia, Heaha kau e Hagara? mai makau oe; no ka mea, ua hoolohe mai no ke Akua i ka leo o ke keiki ma kona wahi i waiho ai.
18 Mphakamise umfana umbambe ngesandla, ngoba ngizamenza abe yisizwe esikhulu.”
E ku ae oe, e kaikai ae i ke keiki, a e hoopaa aku kou lima ia ia; no ka mea, e hoolilo auanei au ia ia i lahuikanaka nui.
19 UNkulunkulu wasemvula amehlo, wabona umthombo wamanzi. Ngakho wasesiyagcwalisa umgodla ngamanzi wapha umfana wanatha.
Hookaakaa ae la ke Akua i kona mau maka, a ike aku la ia i kekahi luawai: hele aku la ia, ukuhi iho la a piha ka huewai i ka wai, a hooinu iho la i ke keiki.
20 UNkulunkulu wayelaye umfana ekhula. Wahlala enkangala waba ngumcibi womtshoko.
Me ua keiki nei no ke Akua, a nui ae la ia, a noho iho la ma ka waonahele, a lilo ae la ia i kanaka pana pua,
21 Wathi ehlala eNkangala yasePharani, unina wamdingela umfazi eGibhithe.
Noho iho la ia ma ka waonahele o Parana: a lawe ae la kona makuwahine i wahine nana, no Aigupita mai.
22 Ngalesosikhathi u-Abhimelekhi loFikholi, umlawuli wamabutho akhe bathi ku-Abhrahama, “UNkulunkulu ulawe kukho konke okwenzayo.
Ia manawa, olelo mai la o Abimeleka laua o Pikola kona luna koa ia Aberahama, i ka i ana mai, Me oe no ke Akua i na mea a pau au e hana nei:
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.”
Nolaila hoi, e hoohiki oe no'u ano ma ke Akua, aole oe e hoopunipuni mai ia'u, aole i ka'u keiki, aole hoi i ka'u moopuna: e like me ka lokomaikai a'u i hana aku ai ia oe, pela hoi oe e hana mai ai ia'u, a i ko ka aina au i noho iho ai.
24 U-Abhrahama wathi, “Ngiyafunga.”
I aku la o Aberahama, E hoohiki no wau.
25 U-Abhrahama wasesola ku-Abhimelekhi ngomthombo izinceku zika-Abhimelekhi ezaziwuthumbile.
Ao aku la hoi o Aberahama ia Abimeleka no ka luawai a na kauwa a Abimeleka i kaili aku ai.
26 Kodwa u-Abhimelekhi wathi, “Angikwazi ukuthi ngubani okwenzileyo lokho. Kawuzange ungitshele, sekuyikhona ngikuzwa nje lamhla.”
I mai la o Abimeleka, Aole au i ike i ka men nana i hana ia mea: aole hoi oe i hai mai; aole hoi au i lohe a hiki i keia la.
27 Ngakho u-Abhrahama waletha izimvu lenkomo wazipha u-Abhimelekhi, amadoda womabili enza isivumelwano.
Lalau aku la o Aberahama i na hipa a me na bipikane, a haawi aku la ia mau mea no Abimeleka; a hoopaa iho la laua a elua i berita.
28 U-Abhrahama wehlukanisa amazinyane amasikazi ayisikhombisa emhlambini,
A hoonoho aku la o Aberahama i na hipa keiki wahine i ehiku ma kahi kaawale.
29 u-Abhimelekhi wambuza u-Abhrahama wathi, “Atshoni amazinyane la amasikazi ayisikhombisa owehlukanise emhlambini wawabeka wodwa na?”
Ninau mai la o Abimeleka ia Aberahama, I me aha keia mau hipa keiki wahine ehiku, au i hoonoho iho ai ma kahi kaawale!
30 Waphendula wathi, “Yamukela ezandleni zami amazinyane la ayisikhombisa njengobufakazi bokuthi yimi engemba umthombo lo.”
I aku la keia, No ka mea, e lawe oe i keia mau hipa keiki wahine ehiku na kuu lima aku, i mea hoike maka no'u, na'u no i eli iho i keia luawai.
31 Ngakho indawo leyo yathiwa yiBherishebha ngoba amadoda la womabili enza isifungo khonapho.
Nolaila, kapa iho la oia ia wahi, o Beereseba; no ka mea, ilaila i hoohiki aku ai laua a elua.
32 Ngemva kokuba isivumelwano sesibotshiwe eBherishebha, u-Abhimelekhi loFikholi umlawuli wamabutho akhe babuyela elizweni lamaFilistiya.
Pela no laua i hoopaa iho ai i berita ma Beereseba: alaila, ku ae la o Abimeleka laua o Pikola kona luna koa, a hoi hou aku la laua i ka aina o ko Pilisetia.
33 U-Abhrahama wahlanyela isihlahla sethamarisiki eBherishebha, khonapho walibiza ibizo likaThixo, uNkulunkulu Waphakade.
Kanu iho la o Aberahama i laau ma Beereseba, a kahea aku la ilaila i ka inoa o Iehova ke Akua mau loa.
34 U-Abhrahama wahlala elizweni lamaFilistiya okwesikhathi eside.
Noho iho la o Aberahama ma ka aina o ko Pilisetia i na la he nui loa.
