Uumama 21
1 Waaqayyo akkuma dubbate sana Saaraa yaadate; Waaqayyo waan waadaa galeef sana ni raawwateef.
Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
2 Saaraan ulfooftee bara dulluma isaa keessa yeruma Waaqni waadaa isaaf seene sanatti Abrahaamiif ilma deesse.
So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
3 Abrahaamis ilma Saaraan isaaf deesse sana Yisihaaq jedhee moggaase.
And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
4 Abrahaam akkuma Waaqni isa ajaje sanatti Yisihaaq dhalatee guyyaa saddeetitti dhagna isa qabe.
When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
5 Yeroo ilmi isaa Yisihaaq dhalateefitti Abrahaam nama waggaa dhibbaa ture.
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Saaraanis, “Waaqni kolfa naa kenneera; namni waan kana dhagaʼu hundis na wajjin kolfa” jette.
Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
7 Ittuma fuftees, “Silaa eenyutu Abrahaamiin, ‘Saaraan daaʼima hoosisti’ jedha ture? Garuu ani bara dulluma isaa keessa ilma nan daʼeef” jette.
She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8 Mucichi guddatee harma guufame; Abrahaam gaafa Yisihaaq harma guufame sana cidha guddaa qopheesse.
So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
9 Saaraan garuu yeroo ilmi Aggaar Gibxittiin Abrahaamiif deesse sun Yisihaaqitti qoosu argite;
But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
10 isheenis Abrahaamiin, “Garbittii kanaa fi ilma ishee ariʼi; ilmi garbittii kanaa kun ilma koo Yisihaaq wajjin hin dhaaluutii” jette.
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 Wanni kunis sababii ilma isaatiif Abrahaamin akka malee rakkise.
Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
12 Waaqni garuu akkana jedheen; “Waaʼee garbittii keetiitii fi waaʼee mucichaa hin yaaddaʼin. Sababii sanyiin kee Yisihaaqiin siif waamamuuf waan Saaraan siin jettu hunda dhagaʼi.
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 Inni sanyii kee waan taʼeef ani ilma garbittii sanaa saba nan taasisa.”
But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
14 Abrahaamis guyyaa itti aanu ganama obboroon kaʼee nyaata muraasaa fi bishaan qalqala tokko fuudhee Aggaariif kenne. Waan kanas gatiittii ishee irra kaaʼeefii mucaa wajjin ariʼe; isheenis achii baatee Gammoojjii Bersheebaa keessa joorte.
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 Yommuu bishaan qalqala keessaa dhumetti, isheen mucaa ishee daggala tokko jala keesse.
When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
16 Isheenis, “Mucaa kana isaa duʼu ani hin ilaalu” jettee garaa isheetti waan yaaddeef gara darba xiyyaa tokko xinnoo achi hiiqxee naannoo isaa teesse; achi teessees sagalee ishee ol fudhattee boosse.
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 Waaqni booʼicha mucichaa ni dhagaʼe; ergamaan Waaqayyoo samii keessaa Aggaarin waamee akkana jedheen; “Yaa Aggaar ati maal taate? Hin sodaatin; Waaqni booʼicha mucichaa iddoo inni ciisee jiruu dhagaʼeeraatii.
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 Sababii ani saba guddaa isa godhuuf kaʼiitii harka keetiin mucicha ol fuudhi; jabeessiitii isa qabi.”
Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
19 Waaqni ija ishee baneefii jennaan boolla bishaanii tokko argite. Kanaafuu dhaqxee qalqala sana bishaaniin guuttee, waan inni dhugu mucichaaf kennite.
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 Waaqnis mucicha wajjin ture; mucichis ni guddate. Innis gammoojjii keessa jiraate; xiyya darbachuudhaanis beekamaa ture.
And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
21 Innis gammoojjii Phaaraan keessa jiraate; haati isaas biyya Gibxiitii niitii argatteef.
And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 Yeroo sana Abiimelekii fi Fiikool ajajaan loltoota isaa Abrahaamiin akkana jedhan; “Waan ati hojjettu hunda keessatti Waaqni si wajjin jira.
At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
23 Ati akka ana yookaan ijoollee koo yookaan sanyii koo hin gowwoomsine amma as fuula Waaqaa duratti naa kakadhu. Akkuma ani garaa siif laafe sana atis anaa fi biyya amma orma taatee keessa jiraattu kanaaf garaa laafi.”
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 Abrahaamis, “Ani nan kakadha” jedhe.
And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
25 Ergasii Abrahaam waaʼee boolla bishaanii garboonni Abiimelek isa irraa fudhatan tokkoo Abiimelekitti himate.
But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
26 Abiimelek immoo, “Ani nama waan kana hojjete hin beeku. Atis natti hin himne; ani waaʼee isaa harʼuman dhagaʼe” jedhe.
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 Kanaafuu Abrahaam hoolaa fi loon fidee Abiimelekiif kenne; jarri lamaanis walii galtee uummatan.
So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
28 Abrahaam gorommii hoolaa torba bushaayee keessaa kophaatti baase;
Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
29 Abiimelekis, “Hiikkaan gorommii hoolaa torban ati kophaa isaanii baafte kanneenii maali?” jedhee Abrahaamin gaafate.
and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
30 Abrahaamis, “Akka ani boolla bishaanii kana qotadhe akka ragaa taʼuuf, gorommii hoolaa torban kanneen na harkaa fudhadhu” jedhee deebise.
He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
31 Sababii jarri lamaan sun achitti walii kakataniif iddoon sun Bersheebaa jedhamee waamame.
So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
32 Erga walii galteen sun Bersheebaatti taʼee booddee Abiimelekii fi Fiikool ajajaan loltoota isaa gara biyya Filisxeemotaatti deebiʼan.
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 Abrahaamis Bersheebaa keessa muka tamirii dhaabe; innis achitti maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Bara Baraa waammate.
And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
34 Abrahaam biyya Filisxeemotaa keessa bara dheeraa jiraate.
And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
