UGenesisi 21
1 INkosi yasimhambela uSara njengokukhuluma kwayo, njalo iNkosi yenza kuSara njengoba yayitshilo.
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 wasethatha isisu, wamzalela indodana uAbrahama ebudaleni bakhe, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo uNkulunkulu abesitshilo kuye.
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 UAbrahama wasesitha ibizo lendodana yakhe, eyazalelwa yena, uSara amzalela yona, wathi nguIsaka.
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 UAbrahama wasesoka uIsaka indodana yakhe isilensuku eziyisificaminwembili, njengoba uNkulunkulu wamlaya.
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 Njalo uAbrahama wayeleminyaka elikhulu lapho ezalelwa uIsaka indodana yakhe.
Hookahi haneri makahiki o Aberahama i ka wa i hanau ai o Isaaka nana.
6 USara wasesithi: UNkulunkulu ungenzele uhleko, wonke ozwayo uzahleka 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 Wathi futhi: Ngubani obengatsho kuAbrahama ukuthi: USara uzamunyisa abantwana? Ngoba ngimzalele 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 Umntwana wakhula, walunyulwa. UAbrahama wasesenza idili elikhulu mhla uIsaka elunyulwa.
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 USara wasebona indodana kaHagari umGibhithekazi ayeyizalele uAbrahama ikloloda.
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 Ngakho wathi kuAbrahama: Xotsha lesisigqilikazi lendodana yaso; ngoba indodana yalesisigqilikazi kayiyikudla ilifa kanye lendodana yami, kanye loIsaka.
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 Lalelilizwi laba libi kakhulu emehlweni kaAbrahama, ngenxa yendodana yakhe.
He mea ehaeha loa ia i ka manao o Aberahama, no kana keiki.
12 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kuAbrahama: Kakungabi kubi emehlweni akho, ngenxa yomfana langenxa yesigqilikazi sakho; konke uSara azakutsho kuwe, lalela ilizwi lakhe, ngoba kuIsaka inzalo yakho izabizwa.
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 Kodwa lendodana yesigqilikazi 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 Ngakho uAbrahama wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, wathatha isinkwa lesigxingi samanzi, wakunika uHagari, ekubeka emahlombe akhe, lomntwana, wamyekela wahamba. Wasehamba wazula enkangala iBherishebha.
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 Amanzi esephelile esigxingini waphosela umntwana phansi kwesinye sezihlahlakazana.
A pau ae la ka wai iloko o ka huewai, waiho iho la ia i ke keiki malalo o kekahi laau uuku.
16 Wasehamba wahlala phansi maqondana laye, esuka kuye khatshanyana, okungaba yikutshoka ngedandili; ngoba wathi: Kangingaboni ukufa komntwana. Wahlala maqondana laye, waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe wakhala inyembezi.
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 wasesizwa ilizwi lomfana. Yasimemeza ingilosi kaNkulunkulu kuHagari isemazulwini, yathi kuye: Ulani, Hagari? Ungesabi, ngoba uNkulunkulu ulizwile ilizwi lomfana lapho akhona.
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 Sukuma, uphakamise umfana, umbambe ngesandla sakho; 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 wasevula amehlo akhe, njalo wabona umthombo wamanzi; wahamba, wagcwalisa isigxingi ngamanzi, wamnathisa umfana.
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 Njalo uNkulunkulu waba lomfana, wakhula, wahlala enkangala, waba ngumtshoki.
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 Wahlala enkangala iParani; unina wasemthathela umfazi elizweni leGibhithe.
Noho iho la ia ma ka waonahele o Parana: a lawe ae la kona makuwahine i wahine nana, no Aigupita mai.
22 Kwasekusithi ngalesosikhathi uAbhimeleki loFikoli, induna yebutho yakhe, wakhuluma kuAbrahama wathi: 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 Ngakho-ke funga kimi lapha ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi kawuyikungikhohlisa mina kumbe indodana yami kumbe izizukulwana zami; njengomusa engikwenzele wona, yenza kimi, lelizweni ohlala kilo njengowemzini.
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 UAbrahama wasesithi: Mina ngizafunga.
I aku la o Aberahama, E hoohiki no wau.
25 Kodwa uAbrahama wamsola uAbhimeleki ngenxa yomthombo wamanzi ebeziwuphangile izinceku zikaAbhimeleki.
Ao aku la hoi o Aberahama ia Abimeleka no ka luawai a na kauwa a Abimeleka i kaili aku ai.
26 UAbhimeleki wasesithi: Angazi owenze le into; njalo lawe kawungitshelanga, futhi lami kangizwanga ngakho, ngaphandle kwalamuhla.
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 UAbrahama wasethatha izimvu lenkomo, wazinika uAbhimeleki; njalo bobabili benza 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 UAbrahama wabeka amawundlukazi omhlambi ayisikhombisa wodwa.
A hoonoho aku la o Aberahama i na hipa keiki wahine i ehiku ma kahi kaawale.
29 UAbhimeleki wasesithi kuAbrahama: Ayini lapha lamawundlukazi ayisikhombisa owabeke wodwa?
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 Wasesithi: Ngoba uzakwemukela esandleni sami amawundlukazi ayisikhombisa, ukuze abe yibufakazi kimi bokuthi lumthombo ngiwugebhile.
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 wabiza leyondawo ngokuthi yiBherishebha, ngoba lapho bafunga bobabili.
Nolaila, kapa iho la oia ia wahi, o Beereseba; no ka mea, ilaila i hoohiki aku ai laua a elua.
32 Ngakho benza isivumelwano eBherishebha. UAbhimeleki wasesukuma, loFikoli induna yebutho lakhe, babuyela elizweni lamaFilisti.
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 Wasehlanyela isihlahla setamarisiki eBherishebha wabiza khona ibizo leNkosi, uNkulunkulu olaphakade.
Kanu iho la o Aberahama i laau ma Beereseba, a kahea aku la ilaila i ka inoa o Iehova ke Akua mau loa.
34 UAbrahama wasehlala njengowezizwe elizweni lamaFilisti insuku ezinengi.
Noho iho la o Aberahama ma ka aina o ko Pilisetia i na la he nui loa.
