Genesisi 21
1 Zvino Jehovha akaitira Sara nyasha sezvaakanga areva, uye Jehovha akaitira Sara zvaakanga avimbisa.
Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
2 Sara akava nemimba uye akaberekera Abhurahama mwanakomana munguva yokukwegura kwake, panguva chaiyo yakanga yavimbiswa naMwari.
So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
3 Abhurahama akatumidza mwanakomana waakaberekerwa naSara zita rokuti Isaka.
And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
4 Mwanakomana wake Isaka paakanga ava namazuva masere okuberekwa, Abhurahama akamudzingisa, sezvaakanga arayirwa naMwari.
When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
5 Abhurahama akanga ava namakore okuberekwa zana paakaberekerwa mwanakomana wake Isaka.
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Sara akati, “Mwari andivigira kuseka, uye vose vachanzwa nezvazvo vachaseka neni.”
Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
7 Uye akatizve, “Ndianiko aizoti kuna Abhurahama, Sara achazorera vana? Asi ndamuberekera mwanakomana panguva yokukwegura kwake.”
She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8 Mwana akakura uye akarumurwa, uye pazuva rakarumurwa Isaka, Abhurahama akaita mutambo mukuru.
So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
9 Asi Sara akaona mwanakomana akanga aberekerwa Abhurahama naHagari muIjipita achiseka,
But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
10 ndokubva ati kuna Abhurahama, “Dzinga mukadzi murandakadzi uyo nomwanakomana wake, nokuti mwanakomana womurandakadzi uyo haangatongogovani nhaka nomwanakomana wangu Isaka.”
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 Nyaya iyi yakatambudza Abhurahama zvikuru kwazvo nokuti yaiva nechokuita nomwanakomana wake.
Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
12 Asi Mwari akati kwaari, “Usanyanya kutambudzika hako pamusoro pomukomana uye napamusoro pomurandakadzi wako. Teerera zvaunoudzwa naSara, nokuti muna Isaka ndimo muchaverengerwa vana vako.
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 Ndichaitawo rudzi kubudikidza nomwanakomana womurandakadzi, nokuti naiyewo mwana wako.”
But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
14 Mangwanani akatevera, Abhurahama akatora zvokudya neguchu redehwe rine mvura akazvipa kuna Hagari. Akazviisa pamapfudzi ake ipapo akamuendesa pamwe chete nomukomana. Akaenda uye akadzungaira ari mugwenga reBheerishebha.
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 Mvura yaiva muguchu redehwe yakati yapera, akaisa mukomana pasi pegwenzi.
When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
16 Ipapo akabvapo akandogara pedyo naipapo, nhambwe inenge ingasvika museve, nokuti akafunga mumwoyo make akati, “Handingatariri mukomana achifa.” Uye agere pedyo ipapo akatanga kuchema.
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 Mwari akanzwa mukomana achichema, uye mutumwa waMwari akadana Hagari kubva kudenga akati kwaari, “Zvaita seiko Hagari? Usatya; Mwari anzwa kuchema kwomukomana paakavata apo.
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 Simudza mukomana umubate noruoko, nokuti ndichamuita rudzi rukuru.”
Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
19 Ipapo Mwari akasvinudza meso ake uye akaona tsime remvura. Saka akaenda akandozadza guchu nemvura ndokubva apa mukomana kuti anwe.
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 Mwari akava nomukomana pakukura kwake. Akagara mugwenga akazova munhu aipfura nouta.
And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
21 Paakanga achigara mugwenga reParani, mai vake vakamutsvakira mukadzi aibva kuIjipiti.
And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 Panguva iyoyo Abhimereki naPikori mukuru wamauto ake, akati kuna Abhurahama, “Mwari anewe pazvinhu zvose zvaunoita.
At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
23 Zvino ndipikire pano pamberi paMwari kuti hauzondinyengeri ini, kana vana vangu kana zvizvarwa zvangu. Ndiitirei tsitsi ini nenyika yaugere mairi somutorwa, kuti sezvandakakuitira tsitsi uchaita zvimwe chetezvo newewo.”
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 Abhurahama akati, “Ndinopika.”
And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
25 Ipapo Abhurahama akamhanʼara kuna Abhimereki pamusoro petsime remvura rakanga ratorwa navaranda vaAbhimereki.
But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
26 Asi Abhimereki akati, “Handizivi akaita izvozvo. Iwe hauna kundiudza, uye ndatozvinzwa izvozvo nhasi chaiye.”
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 Saka Abhurahama akauya namakwai nemombe akazvipa kuna Abhimereki, uye varume vaviri ava vakaita sungano.
So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
28 Abhurahama akatsaura sheche nomwe dzamakwayana kubva kuboka,
Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
29 uye Abhimereki akabvunza Abhurahama akati, “Sheche dzamakwai idzi dzawatsaura dzinoreveiko?”
and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
30 Akapindura achiti, “Gamuchira makwayana manomwe aya kubva muruoko rwangu sechapupu chokuti ndini ndakachera tsime iri.”
He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
31 Saka nzvimbo iyo yakanzi Bheerishebha, nokuti varume vaviri ava vakapika mhiko ipapo.
So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
32 Mushure mokuitwa kwesungano paBheerishebha, Abhimereki naPikori mukuru wamauto ake vakadzokera kunyika yavaFiristia.
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 Abhurahama akadyara muti womutamarisiki muBheerishebha, uye ipapo akadana kuzita raJehovha, Mwari Wokusingaperi.
And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
34 Uye Abhurahama akagara munyika yavaFiristia kwenguva refu.
And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
