< Genesis 21 >

1 And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
Nake Jehova agĩtuga Sara o ta ũrĩa oigĩte, na Jehova akĩhingĩria Sara kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa aamwĩrĩire.
2 And Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Sara akĩgĩa nda, na agĩciarĩra Iburahĩmu kaana ga kahĩĩ ũkũrũ-inĩ wake, o ihinda rĩrĩa Jehova aamwĩrĩte.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
Iburahĩmu agĩtua kaana kau ga kahĩĩ aaciarĩirwo nĩ Sara, Isaaka.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Na rĩrĩa mũriũ ũcio wake Isaaka akinyirie thikũ inyanya-rĩ, Iburahĩmu akĩmũruithia, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aamwathĩte.
5 And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Iburahĩmu aarĩ na mĩaka igana rĩmwe rĩrĩa mũriũ wake Isaaka aaciarirwo.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me.
Sara akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩatũmĩte theke, na mũndũ o wothe ũrĩiguaga ũhoro ũcio nĩarĩthekaga hamwe na niĩ.”
7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.
Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩerire Iburahĩmu atĩ Sara nĩakongithia ciana? No rĩrĩ, nĩndĩmũciarĩire kaana ga kahĩĩ ũkũrũ-inĩ wake.”
8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Nako kaana kau gagĩkũra na gagĩtigithio kuonga; naguo mũthenya ũrĩa Isaaka aatigithirio kuonga-rĩ, Iburahĩmu akĩrugithia iruga inene.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, mocking.
No Sara akĩona atĩ mũriũ wa Hagari ũrĩa Mũmisiri aaciarĩire Iburahĩmu aarĩ na kĩnyũrũri.
10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son: for the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
Nake akĩĩra Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Ingata ngombo ĩno ya mũndũ-wa-nja hamwe na mũriũ, tondũ mũriũ ũcio wa ngombo ĩyo ya mũndũ-wa-nja ndakagayana igai na mũriũ wakwa Isaaka.”
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
Naguo ũhoro ũcio ũgĩthĩĩnia Iburahĩmu mũno tondũ wakoniĩ mũriũ.
12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
No Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gũthĩĩnĩka mũno nĩ ũndũ wa kĩmwana kĩu, na ndungata ĩyo yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja. Thikĩrĩria ũrĩa wothe Sara egũkwĩra, tondũ rũciaro rũrĩa rũgeetanio nawe rũkoima harĩ Isaaka.
13 And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
O na ningĩ nĩngatũma mũriũ wa ndungata ĩyo ya mũndũ-wa-nja atuĩke rũrĩrĩ rũnene, tondũ nĩ rũciaro rwaku.”
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and [gave her] the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene Iburahĩmu akĩoya irio na mondo ya rũũa ĩrĩ na maaĩ, na agĩcinengera Hagari. Akĩmũigĩrĩra ciande-inĩ ciake, agĩcooka akĩmumagaria hamwe na kĩmwana kĩu. Nake Hagari agĩĩthiĩra, na agĩturĩrwo nĩ njĩra arĩ kũu werũ-inĩ wa Birishiba.
15 And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
Na rĩrĩa maaĩ marĩa maarĩ rũũa-inĩ maathirire-rĩ, Hagari akĩiga kĩmwana kĩu rungu rwa kĩhinga kĩmwe.
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
Nake agĩthiiathiia, agĩikara thĩ handũ hataarĩ haraihu, ta ha rĩikia rĩa mũguĩ, tondũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Ndingĩĩrorera kĩmwana gĩakwa gĩgĩkua.” Na aikarĩte hau hakuhĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũgirĩka.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
Nake Ngai akĩigua kĩmwana kĩu gĩkĩrĩra, nake mũraika wa Ngai agĩĩta Hagari arĩ kũu igũrũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragũthĩĩnia Hagari? Tiga gwĩtigĩra; Ngai nĩaiguĩte kĩrĩro gĩa kĩmwana kĩu kĩrĩ o hau kĩrĩ.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.
Tiira kĩmwana kĩu na igũrũ, na ũkĩnyiitĩrĩre na guoko, nĩgũkorwo nĩngagĩtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene.”
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩmũhingũra maitho, nake akĩona gĩthima kĩa maaĩ. Agĩthiĩ ho, akĩiyũria rũũa maaĩ, na akĩhe kĩmwana kĩu kĩnyue.
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
Ngai nĩakorirwo hamwe na kĩmwana kĩu o ũrĩa gĩakũraga. Gĩatũũrire werũ-inĩ, na gĩgĩtuĩka mũrathi na ũta.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo aatũũraga Werũ-inĩ wa Parani-rĩ, nyina akĩmwethera mũtumia kuuma Misiri.
22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
Ihinda-inĩ-rĩu Abimeleku na Fikolu mũnene wa mbũtũ ciake cia ita makĩĩra Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Ngai arĩ hamwe nawe maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa wĩkaga.
23 now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
Rĩu-rĩ, wĩhĩte ũrĩ mbere ya Ngai atĩ ndũkanjuukanĩrĩra, kana ũcuukanĩre ciana ciakwa, o na kana njiaro ciakwa. Nyonagia ũtugi niĩ na bũrũri ũyũ we ũtũũraga ũrĩ mũgeni o ta ũrĩa niĩ nguonetie ũtugi.”
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
Iburahĩmu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩndehĩta.”
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Ningĩ Iburahĩmu agĩtetia Abimeleku nĩ ũndũ wa gĩthima kĩa maaĩ kĩrĩa ndungata cia Abimeleku ciamũtunyĩte.
26 And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day.
No Abimeleku akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndiũĩ nũũ wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio. Wee ndwanjĩĩrire, na ndaigua ũhoro ũcio ũmũthĩ.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Iburahĩmu akĩrehe ngʼondu na ngʼombe akĩhe Abimeleku, nao andũ acio eerĩ makĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Iburahĩmu akĩamũra mĩatĩ mũgwanja kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwake.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
Nake Abimeleku akĩũria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Mĩatĩ ĩno mũgwanja-rĩ, wamĩamũra kuuma rũũru-inĩ nĩkĩ?”
30 And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
Iburahĩmu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra kuoya mĩatĩ ĩno mũgwanja kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, ĩtuĩke ũira atĩ nĩ niĩ ndenjire gĩthima gĩkĩ.”
31 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
Tondũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Birishiba tondũ hau nĩ ho andũ acio eerĩ mehĩtĩire mwĩhĩtwa.
32 So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
Thuutha wa kũrĩkanĩra kĩrĩĩko kĩu kũu Birishiba, Abimeleku na Fikolu mũnene wa mbũtũ ciake cia ita, magĩcooka bũrũri wa Afilisti.
33 And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Everlasting God.
Nake Iburahĩmu akĩhaanda mũtĩ wa mũbinde kũu Birishiba, na agĩkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, o we Mũrungu Ũrĩa-Ũtũũraga-Tene-na-Tene, arĩ handũ hau.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
Nake Iburahĩmu agĩikara bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa Afilisti ihinda iraaya ma.
