UGenesisi 21
1 INkosi yasimhambela uSara njengokukhuluma kwayo, njalo iNkosi yenza kuSara njengoba yayitshilo.
Afei, Awurade dom Sara sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ no bɔ no.
2 USara wasethatha isisu, wamzalela indodana uAbrahama ebudaleni bakhe, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo uNkulunkulu abesitshilo kuye.
Sara nyinsɛnee, na ɔwoo ɔbabarima maa Abraham wɔ ne nkwakoraabere mu, bere a Awurade hyɛɛ no bɔ no mu pɛpɛɛpɛ.
3 UAbrahama wasesitha ibizo lendodana yakhe, eyazalelwa yena, uSara amzalela yona, wathi nguIsaka.
Abraham too ɔbabarima a Sara woo no maa no no din Isak, a ase ne Serew.
4 UAbrahama wasesoka uIsaka indodana yakhe isilensuku eziyisificaminwembili, njengoba uNkulunkulu wamlaya.
Bere a Isak dii nnaawɔtwe no, otwaa no twetia, sɛnea Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no no.
5 Njalo uAbrahama wayeleminyaka elikhulu lapho ezalelwa uIsaka indodana yakhe.
Wɔwoo Isak maa Abraham no, na wadi mfe ɔha.
6 USara wasesithi: UNkulunkulu ungenzele uhleko, wonke ozwayo uzahleka lami.
Sara kae se, “Onyankopɔn ama maserew. Na obiara a ɔbɛte saa asɛm yi ne me bɛbɔ mu aserew.”
7 Wathi futhi: Ngubani obengatsho kuAbrahama ukuthi: USara uzamunyisa abantwana? Ngoba ngimzalele indodana ebudaleni bakhe.
Sara ka kaa ho se, “Hena na ɔsoo ho dae ka kyerɛɛ Abraham se Sara bɛwo mma. Nanso ne nkwakoraabere mu yi, mawo ɔbabarima ama no.”
8 Umntwana wakhula, walunyulwa. UAbrahama wasesenza idili elikhulu mhla uIsaka elunyulwa.
Abofra no nyin ma wotwaa no nufu. Da a wotwaa Isak nufu no, Abraham too pon kɛse.
9 USara wasebona indodana kaHagari umGibhithekazi ayeyizalele uAbrahama ikloloda.
Nanso Sara hui sɛ, ɔbabarima a nʼafenaa Misraimni Hagar woo no maa Abraham no redi Isak ho fɛw.
10 Ngakho wathi kuAbrahama: Xotsha lesisigqilikazi lendodana yaso; ngoba indodana yalesisigqilikazi kayiyikudla ilifa kanye lendodana yami, kanye loIsaka.
Enti Sara ka kyerɛɛ Abraham se, “Pam saa afenaa yi ne ne babarima yi fi ha; na Isak ne saa afenaa babarima yi nni wʼagyapade biara mu kyɛfa.”
11 Lalelilizwi laba libi kakhulu emehlweni kaAbrahama, ngenxa yendodana yakhe.
Abraham tee saa asɛm no, esiane ne babarima Ismael nti, ne werɛ how yiye.
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.
Nanso Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Abraham se, “Mma wo babarima Ismael ne wʼafenaa Hagar ho asɛm no nhaw wo bebree. Asɛm biara a Sara bɛka akyerɛ wo no, tie, efisɛ Isak so na wɔnam bɛkan wʼasefo.
13 Kodwa lendodana yesigqilikazi ngizayenza ibe yisizwe, ngoba iyinzalo yakho.
Mɛma afenaa no babarima Ismael no nso asefo ayɛ ɔman kɛse, efisɛ ɔno nso yɛ wʼaseni.”
14 Ngakho uAbrahama wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, wathatha isinkwa lesigxingi samanzi, wakunika uHagari, ekubeka emahlombe akhe, lomntwana, wamyekela wahamba. Wasehamba wazula enkangala iBherishebha.
Ade kyee anɔpatutuutu no, Abraham faa aduan ne nsu a egu aboa nhoma mu de maa Hagar. Ɔde aduan no ne nsu no sisii Hagar mmati so, ka kyerɛɛ ɔne ne ba Ismael no se wɔnkɔ. Ofii hɔ kokyinkyin Beer-Seba sare so a na onhu baabi a ɔrekɔ.
15 Amanzi esephelile esigxingini waphosela umntwana phansi kwesinye sezihlahlakazana.
Nsu a ɛwɔ aboa nhoma no mu sae no, ɔde ne babarima no kohintaw wura no mu baabi.
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.
Na ɔkɔtenaa akyiri baabi a wotow ɔbo a ɛbɛtɔ, kae se, “Merentumi nhwɛ sɛ abarimaa no bewu.” Na bere a Hagar te hɔ saa no, ofii ase sui.
17 UNkulunkulu wasesizwa ilizwi lomfana. Yasimemeza ingilosi kaNkulunkulu kuHagari isemazulwini, yathi kuye: Ulani, Hagari? Ungesabi, ngoba uNkulunkulu ulizwile ilizwi lomfana lapho akhona.
Onyankopɔn tee sɛ abarimaa no resu. Onyankopɔn bɔfo fi ɔsoro frɛɛ Hagar bisaa no se, “Hagar! Ɛyɛ dɛn? Nsuro, efisɛ Onyankopɔn ate abarimaa no su wɔ faako a ɔda no.
18 Sukuma, uphakamise umfana, umbambe ngesandla sakho; ngoba ngizamenza abe yisizwe esikhulu.
Ma abarimaa no so, efisɛ mɛma no ayɛ ɔman kɛse.”
19 UNkulunkulu wasevula amehlo akhe, njalo wabona umthombo wamanzi; wahamba, wagcwalisa isigxingi ngamanzi, wamnathisa umfana.
Na Onyankopɔn buee Hagar ani ma ohuu asubura bi. Ɔde aboa nhoma no kɔsaw nsu ma, na ɔmaa abarimaa no bi nomee.
20 Njalo uNkulunkulu waba lomfana, wakhula, wahlala enkangala, waba ngumtshoki.
Onyankopɔn adom nti, abarimaa no nyinii. Ɔtenaa sare no so huu agyantow yiye.
21 Wahlala enkangala iParani; unina wasemthathela umfazi elizweni leGibhithe.
Bere a ɔte Paran sare so no, ne na kɔfaa ɔbea fi Misraim asase so de no brɛɛ no aware.
22 Kwasekusithi ngalesosikhathi uAbhimeleki loFikoli, induna yebutho yakhe, wakhuluma kuAbrahama wathi: UNkulunkulu ulawe kukho konke okwenzayo.
Saa bere no mu, ɔhene Abimelek ne ne sahene Pikol baa Abraham nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Biribiara a woyɛ no, Onyankopɔn ka wo ho.
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.
Enti afei, di nsew ka ntam wɔ Onyankopɔn anim kyerɛ me wɔ ha se, worentwa me mma anaa mʼasefo nkontompo. Saa ayamye a mayɛ wo no, saa ara na fa yɛ me ne ɔman a wote so sɛ ɔnanani no.”
24 UAbrahama wasesithi: Mina ngizafunga.
Abraham penee so se, “Meka saa ntam no!”
25 Kodwa uAbrahama wamsola uAbhimeleki ngenxa yomthombo wamanzi ebeziwuphangile izinceku zikaAbhimeleki.
Na Abraham de asubura bi a Abimelek nkoa de anuɔden afa no ho asɛm kɔtoo Abimelek anim.
26 UAbhimeleki wasesithi: Angazi owenze le into; njalo lawe kawungitshelanga, futhi lami kangizwanga ngakho, ngaphandle kwalamuhla.
Nanso Abimelek kae se, “Minnim onipa ko a ɔyɛɛ saa ade no. Woammɔ me ho amanneɛ. Nnɛ na mate saa asɛm yi.”
27 UAbrahama wasethatha izimvu lenkomo, wazinika uAbhimeleki; njalo bobabili benza isivumelwano.
Enti Abraham de nguan ne anantwi brɛɛ Abimelek. Na mmarima baanu yi de yɛɛ apam.
28 UAbrahama wabeka amawundlukazi omhlambi ayisikhombisa wodwa.
Abraham yii nguantenmma abere ason fii nguankuw no mu gyinaa nkyɛn,
29 UAbhimeleki wasesithi kuAbrahama: Ayini lapha lamawundlukazi ayisikhombisa owabeke wodwa?
na Abimelek bisaa Abraham se, “Nguantenmma abere ason a woayi wɔn agyina nkyɛn yi ase kyerɛ dɛn?”
30 Wasesithi: Ngoba uzakwemukela esandleni sami amawundlukazi ayisikhombisa, ukuze abe yibufakazi kimi bokuthi lumthombo ngiwugebhile.
Abraham buae se, “Ne nkyerɛase ara ne sɛ, ɛyɛ akyɛde a mede rema wo de adi adanse sɛ, me na mituu saa abura yi.”
31 Ngakho wabiza leyondawo ngokuthi yiBherishebha, ngoba lapho bafunga bobabili.
Efi saa bere no rekɔ no, wɔfrɛɛ saa abura no Beer-Seba, a ase ne Ntanka Abura, efisɛ ɛhɔ na wɔn baanu yɛɛ apam no.
32 Ngakho benza isivumelwano eBherishebha. UAbhimeleki wasesukuma, loFikoli induna yebutho lakhe, babuyela elizweni lamaFilisti.
Wɔyɛɛ apam no wiee wɔ Beer-Seba no, ɔhene Abimelek ne ne Sahene Pikol san kɔɔ Filistifo asase so.
33 Wasehlanyela isihlahla setamarisiki eBherishebha wabiza khona ibizo leNkosi, uNkulunkulu olaphakade.
Abraham nso duaa dua bi a wɔfrɛ no asantɛw wɔ abura no ho wɔ Beer-Seba. Ɛhɔ na na ɔsom Awurade teasefo no daa.
34 UAbrahama wasehlala njengowezizwe elizweni lamaFilisti insuku ezinengi.
Abraham tenaa Filistifo asase no so sɛ ɔnanani nna bebree.
