Genesis 21
1 Olúwa sì bẹ Sara wò bí ó ti wí, Olúwa sì ṣe fún Sara gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣèlérí.
Yahweh was very kind to Sarah, just as he said he would be. He did for Sarah exactly what he promised to do.
2 Sara sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún Abrahamu ní ọjọ́ ogbó rẹ̀, ní àkókò náà gan an tí Ọlọ́run ti ṣèlérí fún un.
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Abraham when he was very old, at the time God promised it would happen.
3 Abrahamu sì sọ orúkọ ọmọ náà tí Sara bí fun un ní Isaaki.
Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to.
4 Nígbà tí Isaaki pé ọmọ ọjọ́ mẹ́jọ, Abrahamu sì kọ ọ́ ní ilà gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run ti pàṣẹ fún un.
Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do.
5 Ẹni ọgọ́rùn-ún ọdún ni Abrahamu nígbà tí ó bí Isaaki.
Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
6 Sara sì wí pé, “Ọlọ́run ti pa mí lẹ́rìn-ín. Gbogbo ẹni tí ó bá sì gbọ́ pé mo bímọ yóò rẹ́rìn-ín pẹ̀lú mi.”
And Sarah said, “[Although I was sad before because I did not have any children], God has now enabled me to laugh, and everyone who hears about what God has done for me will laugh with me.”
7 Ó sì fi kún un pé, “Ta ni ó le sọ fún Abrahamu pé, Sara yóò di ọlọ́mọ? Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, mo sì tún bí ọmọ fún Abrahamu ní ìgbà ogbó rẹ.”
Then she also said, “No one would have said to Abraham that some day Sarah would nurse a child, but I have given birth to a son when Abraham is very old.”
8 Nígbà tí ọmọ náà dàgbà, ó sì gbà á lẹ́nu ọmú, ní ọjọ́ tí a gba Isaaki lẹ́nu ọmú, Abrahamu ṣe àsè ńlá.
The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n Sara rí ọmọ Hagari ará Ejibiti tí ó bí fún Abrahamu tí ó fi ṣe ẹlẹ́yà,
([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.
10 ó sì wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Lé ẹrúbìnrin yìí àti ọmọ rẹ̀ jáde, nítorí ọmọ ẹrú yìí kò ní bá ọmọ mi Isaaki pín ogún.”
So she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman from Egypt and her son! I do not want the son of that slave woman to be alone (OR, to be an heir along with) my son, Isaac!”
11 Ọ̀rọ̀ náà sì ba Abrahamu lọ́kàn jẹ́ gidigidi nítorí ọmọ rẹ̀ náà sá à ni Iṣmaeli i ṣe.
Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].
12 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run wí fun Abrahamu pé, “Má ṣe ba ọkàn jẹ́ nítorí ọmọ náà àti ẹrúbìnrin rẹ. Gbọ́ ohun tí Sara wí fún ọ, nítorí nínú Isaaki ni a ó ti pe irú-ọmọ rẹ̀.
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about your son, Ishmael, and about your maidservant, Hagar. Do everything that Sarah tells you to do. Listen to her, because Isaac is the one who will be considered the ancestor of the descendants I promised to give you.
13 Èmi yóò sọ ọmọ ẹrúbìnrin náà di orílẹ̀-èdè pẹ̀lú, nítorí ọmọ rẹ ni.”
But I will also cause the son of your maidservant to be the ancestor of the people of a great nation [MTY], because he is also your son.”
14 Abrahamu sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ó sì mú oúnjẹ àti ìgò omi kan, ó sì kó wọn fún Hagari, ó kó wọn lé e léjìká, ó sì lé e jáde pẹ̀lú ọmọ náà. Ó sì lọ lọ́nà rẹ, ó sì ń ṣe alárìnkiri ní ijù Beerṣeba.
So Abraham got up early the next morning. He got some food ready, put water in a container, and gave them to Hagar. He put them [in a bag] on her shoulder and sent them away. They wandered in the desert near Beersheba [town].
15 Nígbà tí omi inú ìgò náà tan, ó gbé ọmọ náà sí abẹ́ igbó.
After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.
16 Ó sì lọ, ó sì jókòó nítòsí ibẹ̀, níwọ̀n bí ìtafà kan, nítorí, ó rò ó nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi kò fẹ́ wo bí ọmọ náà yóò ṣe kú.” Bí ó sì ti jókòó sí tòsí ibẹ̀, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní sọkún.
Then she went and sat nearby, about (as far as someone can shoot an arrow/100 meters away), because she thought, “I cannot endure seeing my son die!” As she sat there, she began to cry [loudly] [MTY].
17 Ọlọ́run gbọ́ ohun ẹkún náà, Angẹli Ọlọ́run sì pe Hagari láti ọ̀run, ó sì wí fun un pé, “Hagari, kín ni ó ṣe ọ́? Má bẹ̀rù nítorí Ọlọ́run ti gbọ́ ẹkún ọmọ náà níbi tí o tẹ́ ẹ sí.
[The boy was crying too.] And God heard the boy crying. So he caused one of his angels to call out from heaven to Hagar, saying, “Hagar, are you worried about something? Do not be afraid, because God has heard the boy crying there.
18 Dìde, gbé ọmọ náà sókè, kí o sì dìímú (tù ú nínú) nítorí èmi yóò sọ ọmọ náà di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá.”
Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
19 Ọlọ́run sì ṣí ojú Hagari, ó sì rí kànga kan, ó lọ síbẹ̀, ó rọ omi kún inú ìgò náà, ó sì fún ọmọ náà mu.
Then God showed her a well of water. So she went to the well and filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
20 Ọlọ́run sì wà pẹ̀lú ọmọ náà bí ó ti ń dàgbà, ó ń gbé nínú ijù, ó sì di tafàtafà.
God helped the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became a good (archer/man who hunts with bow and arrows).
21 Nígbà tí ó ń gbé ni aginjù ní Parani, ìyá rẹ̀ fẹ́ ìyàwó fún un láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá.
He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.
22 Ní àkókò yìí ni ọba Abimeleki àti Fikoli, olórí ogun rẹ̀ wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú gbogbo ohun tí ó ń ṣe.
At that time, [King] Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “It is clear that God helps you with everything that you do.
23 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, fi Ọlọ́run búra fún mi, ìwọ kì yóò tàn mí àti àwọn ọmọ mi àti àwọn ìran mi, ìwọ yóò fi inú rere hàn fún mi àti orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ ti ṣe àtìpó, bí mo ti fihàn fún ọ pẹ̀lú.”
So now (solemnly promise/swear) to me here, as God is listening, that you will (not deceive/act fairly to) me and my children and my descendants, in return for my being kind to you. Be kind to me and to all the people here in the country where you are now living.”
24 Abrahamu sì wí pé, “Èmí búra.”
So Abraham promised to do that.
25 Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu fi ẹ̀dùn ọkàn rẹ̀ hàn fún Abimeleki nípa kànga tí àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ gbà lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
[Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
26 Ṣùgbọ́n Abimeleki dáhùn pé, “Èmi kò mọ ẹni tí ó ṣe nǹkan yìí. Ìwọ kò sì sọ fún mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò gbọ́, bí kò ṣe lónìí.”
But Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done that. You did not tell me previously, and I did not hear about it until today.”
27 Abrahamu sì mú àgùntàn àti màlúù wá, ó sì kó wọn fún Abimeleki. Àwọn méjèèjì sì dá májẹ̀mú.
So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
28 Abrahamu sì ya abo ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn méje nínú agbo àgùntàn rẹ̀ sọ́tọ̀.
Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
29 Abimeleki sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Abrahamu pé, “Kín ni ìtumọ̀ yíyà tí ìwọ ya àwọn ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn méje wọ̀nyí sọ́tọ̀ sí.”
Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
30 Ó dalóhùn pé, “Gba àwọn abo ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn méje wọ̀nyí lọ́wọ́ mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀rí pé èmi ni mo gbẹ́ kànga yìí.”
Abraham replied, “I want you truly to accept these female lambs from me [SYN], so that it may be a (public witness/proof) that this well belongs to me because I dug it.”
31 Nítorí náà ni a ṣe ń pe ibẹ̀ náà ni Beerṣeba nítorí níbẹ̀ ni àwọn méjèèjì gbé búra.
So Abimelech accepted the animals, and as a result they called that place Beersheba, [which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’, ] because there the two of them made that agreement.
32 Lẹ́yìn májẹ̀mú tí wọ́n dá ní Beerṣeba yìí, ni Abimeleki àti Fikoli olórí ogun rẹ̀ padà sí ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Filistini.
After they made the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and his army commander, Phicol, left, and returned to the land of the Philistine people-group.
33 Abrahamu lọ́ igi tamariski kan sí Beerṣeba, níbẹ̀ ni ó sì pe orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run ayérayé.
Abraham planted a (tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel) there, and he worshiped the eternal God there.
34 Abrahamu sì gbé ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Filistini fún ọjọ́ pípẹ́.
Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
