Mwanzo 21
1 Yahwe akamsikiliza Sara kwa umakini kama alivyo kuwa amemwambia, Yahwe akamfanyia Sara kama alivyo kuwa amemwahidi.
And the Lord visited Sarrha, as he said, and the Lord did to Sarrha, as he spoke.
2 Sara akachukua mimba na akamzalia Abraham mtoto wa kiume katika uzee wake, katika muda ule ule ambao Mungu alikuwa amemwambia.
And she conceived and bore to Abraam a son in old age, at the set time according as the Lord spoke to him.
3 Abraham akamwita jina mwanawe, ambaye alizaliwa kwake, na Sara, Isaka.
And Abraam called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarrha bore to him, Isaac.
4 Abraham akamtahiri mwanawe Isaka alipofikisha siku nane, kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza.
And Abraam circumcised Isaac on the eighth day, as God commanded him.
5 Abraham alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja wakati mwanawe Isaka anazaliwa kwake.
And Abraam was a hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him.
6 Sara akasema, “Mungu amenifanya nicheke; kila mtu atakaye sikia atacheka pamoja na nami.”
And Sarrha said, The Lord has made laughter for me, for whoever shall hear shall rejoice with me.
7 Pia akasema, “Nani angesema kwa Abraham kwamba Sara atalea mtoto, na sasa kweli nimemzalia mtoto wakiume katika uzee wake!”
And she said, Who shall say to Abraam that Sarrha suckles a child? for I have born a child in my old age.
8 Mtoto akakua na akaachishwa kunyonya, na Abraham akafanya sherehe kubwa katika siku ambayo Isaka aliachishwa.
And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraam made a great feast the day that his son Isaac was weaned.
9 Sara akamwona mwana wa Hajiri Mmisri, ambaye alikuwa amezaliwa kwa Abraham, akidhihaki.
And Sarrha having seen the son of Agar the Egyptian who was born to Abraam, sporting with Isaac her son,
10 Kwa hiyo akamwambia Abraham, “Mfukuze huyu mwanamke huyu mtumwa pamoja na mtoto wake: kwa kuwa mtoto huyu wa mwanamke mtumwa hawezi kuwa mrithi pamoja na mwanangu Isaka.”
then she said to Abraam, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not inherit with my son Isaac.
11 Jambo hili likamuhuzunisha sana Abraham kwa sababu ya mwanawe.
But the word appeared very hard before Abraam concerning his son.
12 Lakini Mungu akamwambia Abraham, “Usihuzunike kwa sababu ya kijana huyu, na kwa sababu ya mwanamke huyu mtumwa wako. Sikiliza maneno asemayo Sara juu ya jambo hili, kwa sababu itakuwa kupitia Isaka kwamba uzao wako utaitwa.
But God said to Abraam, Let it not be hard before thee concerning the child, and concerning the bondwoman; in all things whatsoever Sarrha shall say to thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 Nitamfanya pia mtoto wa mjakazi kuwa taifa, kwa sababu ni uzao wako.”
And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
14 Abraham akaamka asubuhi na mapema, akachukua mkate na kiriba cha maji, akampatia Hajiri, akiweka juu ya bega lake. Akamtoa kijana akampatia Hajiri na akawaondoa. Hajiri akaondoka akapotea katika jangwa la Beerisheba.
And Abraam rose up in the morning and took loaves and a skin of water, and gave [them] to Agar, and he put the child on her shoulder, and sent her away, and she having departed wandered in the wilderness near the well of the oath.
15 Maji yalipokwisha kwenye kiriba akamtelekeza kijana katika moja ya vichaka.
And the water failed out of the skin, and she cast the child under a fir tree.
16 Kisha akaondoka, na akakaa umbali kidogo na yule kijana, umbali kama wa kutupa mshale, kwa vile alisema, “Na nisitazame kifo cha mtoto.” Alipokuwa amekaa kumkabili, akapaza sauti yake akalia.
And she departed and sat down opposite him at a distance, as it were a bow-shot, for she said, Surely I cannot see the death of my child: and she sat opposite him, and the child cried aloud and wept.
17 Mungu akasikia kilio cha kijana, na malaika wa Mungu akamwita Hajiri kutoka mbinguni, akamwambia, “Nini kinakusumbua? Usiogope, kwa kuwa Mungu amesikia kilio cha kijana mahali alipo.
And God heard the voice of the child from the place where he was, and an angel of God called Agar out of heaven, and said to her, What is it, Agar? fear not, for God has heard the voice of the child from the place where he is.
18 Inuka msimamishe mtoto, na umtie moyo; kwa kuwa nitamfanya kuwa taifa kubwa.”
Rise up, and take the child, and hold him in thine hand, for I will make him a great nation.
19 Kisha Mungu akayafunua macho ya Hajiri, natazama akaona kisima cha maji. Akaenda akajaza kiriba maji, na akampatia kijana akanywa.
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of springing water; and she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the child drink.
20 Mungu akawa pamoja na kijana, na akakua. Akaishi jangwani akawa mwindaji.
And God was with the child, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 Akaishi katka jangwa la Parani, na mama yake akampatia mke kutoka Misri.
And he dwelt in the wilderness, and his mother took him a wife out of Pharan of Egypt.
22 Ikawa kwamba katika wakati ule Abimeleki na Fikoli kamanda wa jeshi lake akamwambia Abraham, akisema, “Mungu yuko pamoja na wewe katika yote uyatendayo.
And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke, and Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, to Abraam, saying, God is with thee in all things, whatsoever thou mayest do.
23 Sasa niapie kwa Mungu kwamba hutanifanyia baya, wala mwanangu, wala uzao wangu. Onesha kwangu na kwa nchi ambayo umekuwa ukikaa agano lile lile la uaminifu ambalo nimekuonesha wewe.”
Now therefore swear to me by God that thou wilt not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name, but according to the righteousness which I have performed with thee thou shalt deal with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.
24 Abraham akasema, “Nina apa.”
And Abraam said, I will swear.
25 Abraham pia akamlalamikia Abimeleki kuhusu kisima cha maji ambacho watumishi wa Abimeleki wamekinyang'anya.
And Abraam reproved Abimelech because of the wells of water, which the servants of Abimelech took away.
26 Abimeleki akasema, “Sijui ni nani amefanya jambo hili. Hukuniambia mapema; na sijalisikia ila leo hii.”
And Abimelech said to him, I know not who has done this thing to thee, neither didst thou tell it me, neither heard I it but only to-day.
27 Kwa hiyo Abraham akachukua kondoo na ng'ombe maksai akampatia Abimeleki, na wawili hawa wakafanya agano.
And Abraam took sheep and calves, and gave them to Abimelech, and both made a covenant.
28 Kisha Abraham akatenga wanakondoo wa kike saba pekeyao.
And Abraam set seven ewe-lambs by themselves.
29 Abimeleki akamwambia Abraham, “Nini maana ya hawa wanakondoo wa kike saba ambao umewatenga pekeyao?”
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What are these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set alone?
30 Akajibu, “Hawa wanakondoo wa kike saba utawapokea kutoka mkonono mwangu, ili kwamba uwe ushahidi kwangu, kuwa nichimba kisima hiki.”
And Abraam said, Thou shalt receive the seven ewe-lambs of me, that they may be for me as a witness, that I dug this well.
31 Kwa hiyo akaita mahali pale Beerisheba, kwa sababu mahali pale wote wawili wali apa kiapo.
Therefore he named the name of that place, The Well of the Oath, for there they both swore.
32 Walifanya agano hapo Bersheba, kisha Abimeleki na Fikoli, amiri wa jeshi, wakarudi katika nchi ya Wafilisti.
And they made a covenant at the well of the oath. And there rose up Abimelech, Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army, and they returned to the land of the Phylistines.
33 Abraham akapanda mti wa mkwaju katika Beerisheba. Na pale akamwabudu Yahwe, Mungu wa milele.
And Abraam planted a field at the well of the oath, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
34 Abraham akasalia kuwa mgeni katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa siku nyingi.
And Abraam sojourned in the land of the Phylistines many days.
