Senesi 16
1 Pea ko Selai, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalame, naʻe ʻikai siʻi haʻane fānau; ka naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kaunanga, ko e fefine ʻIsipite, ko Hekaʻā hono hingoa.
Sarayi, mwasi ya Abrami, abotelaki ye mwana te. Nzokande azalaki na mosali moko ya mwasi, moto ya Ejipito; kombo na ye « Agari. »
2 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Selai kia ʻEpalame, “Vakai mai, kuo taʻofi au ʻe Sihova, ke ʻoua naʻaku fānau; pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate koe, ke ke ʻalu ki heʻeku kaunanga; heiʻilo te u maʻu ʻae fānau ʻiate ia. Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa ʻEpalame ki he lea ʻa Selai.
Sarayi alobaki na Abrami: — Yawe apesi ngai mabota te. Kende, sangisa nzoto na mosali na ngai ya mwasi, tango mosusu nakotonga libota na nzela na ye. Abrami ayokaki maloba ya Sarayi.
3 Pea ʻave ʻe Selai, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalame, ʻene kaunanga ko Hekaʻā ko e ʻIsipite ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki hono husepāniti ko ʻEpalame ke uaifi ʻaki, hili ʻenau nofo ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu.”
Sima na mibu zomi, wana Abrami avandaki na Kanana, mwasi na ye Sarayi apesaki ye Agari, mosali na ye ya mwasi, moto ya Ejipito, mpo ete azala mwasi na ye.
4 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia kia Hekaʻā, pea feitama ia; pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo ia ʻoku ne feitama, naʻa ne taukaeʻi hono ʻeiki fefine ʻi hono mata.
Abrami asangisaki nzoto na Agari, mpe Agari akomaki na zemi. Tango Agari asosolaki ete akomi na zemi, akomaki kotiola Sarayi, nkolo na ye.
5 Pea pehē ʻe Selai kia ʻEpalame, “Ke ʻiate koe ʻeku mamahi: Naʻaku foaki ʻeku kaunanga ki ho fatafata: pea kuo mamata ia kuo feitama, peau kovi leva ʻi hono mata: ke fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻiate kitaua.”
Boye, Sarayi alobaki na Abrami: — Ezali mpo na yo nde ngai nazali komona pasi ya boye; napesaki mosali na ngai ya mwasi na maboko na yo. Mpe sik’oyo lokola amoni ete azali na zemi, akomi kotiola ngai. Tika ete Yawe akata likambo kati na ngai mpe yo.
6 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEpalame kia Selai, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima hoʻo kaunanga; ke ke fai kiate ia hoʻo faʻiteliha.” Pea ʻi he fai fakamālohi ʻe Selai kiate ia, naʻa ne hola ia mei hono ʻao.
Abrami alobaki: — Mosali na yo azali na maboko na yo. Sala epai na ye nyonso oyo omoni malamu. Boye, Sarayi akomaki konyokola Agari mpe Agari akimaki mosika na ye.
7 Pea ʻilo ia ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻo ofi ki ha vai ʻi he toafa, ʻae vai ʻoku ʻi he hala ki Sua.
Anjelu ya Yawe amonaki Agari na esobe, pene ya etima oyo ezali na nzela ya Shuri.
8 Pea ne pehē, “Hekaʻā, ko e kaunanga ʻa Selai, Kuo ke haʻu mei fē? Pea te ke ʻalu ki fē?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou hola mei he ʻao ʻo ʻeku fineʻeiki ko Selai.”
Atunaki ye: — Agari, mosali ya Sarayi, owuti wapi mpe ozali kokende wapi? Azongisaki: — Nazali kokima mosika ya Sarayi, nkolo na ngai.
9 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia. “Toe ʻalu ki ho fineʻeiki, mo ke fakavaivaiʻi koe kiate ia.”
Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na ye: — Zonga epai ya nkolo na yo mpe mikitisa liboso na ye.
10 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Te u fakatupu ho hako ke tokolahi ʻaupito, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa lau hono tokolahi.”
Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na ye lisusu: — Nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele penza mpe moto moko te akokoka kotanga bango.
11 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ke feitama, pea te ke fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama, pea te ke ui hono hingoa ko ʻIsimeʻeli; “he kuo ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo mamahi.”
Alobaki na ye lisusu: — Ozali na zemi mpe okobota mwana mobali, okopesa ye kombo « Isimaeli, » pamba te Yawe ayoki yo, kati na mawa na yo.
12 Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e tangata hehengi; ʻe hiki hake ʻe ia hono nima ki he tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻe hiki hake ʻe he tangata kotoa pē hono nima kiate ia; pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kāinga kotoa pē.”
Akozala lokola ane ya zamba. Loboko na ye ekobundisa moto nyonso, mpe loboko ya moto nyonso ekobundisa ye; akovanda esika moko te na bandeko na ye.
13 Pea naʻa ne ui ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova naʻe folofola kiate ia, “Ko e ʻOtua koe ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi au: he naʻa ne pehē, ‘He ʻikai foki kuo u siofia ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio kiate au?’”
Agari amitunaki: « Boni, namoni solo Nzambe oyo azali komona ngai? » Boye, Agari apesaki Yawe oyo asololaki na ye Kombo « Ata-Eli-Royi, » oyo elakisi: Nzambe oyo azali komona ngai.
14 Ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae vai ko ia, “ko Pea-Lehai-Loʻai;” vakai ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Ketesi mo Peleti.
Yango wana babengaka libulu ya mayi yango Beri Lakai-Royi. Libulu ya mayi yango ezali na kati-kati ya Kadeshi mpe Beredi.
15 Pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Hekaʻā ʻae tama kia ʻEpalame; pea ui ʻe ʻEpalame hono foha, naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Hekaʻā, ko ʻIsimeʻeli.
Boye, Agari abotelaki Abrami mwana mobali mpe Abrami apesaki ye kombo « Isimaeli. »
16 Pea naʻe valungofulu ma ono taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalame ʻi he fanauʻi ʻe Hekaʻā ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli kia ʻEpalame.
Abrami azalaki na mibu tuku mwambe na motoba ya mbotama tango Agari abotelaki ye Isimaeli.
