Genesis 21
1 Then the Lord visited Sarah, just as he had promised; and he fulfilled what he had spoken.
Pea naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻe Sihova kia Sela ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola, pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova kia Sela ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola.
2 And she conceived and gave birth to a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold to her.
He naʻe tuituʻia ʻa Sela ʻo ne fanauʻi kia ʻEpalahame ʻae tama ʻi heʻene motuʻa, ʻio, ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻae ʻOtua.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sarah bore for him, Isaac.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae hingoa ʻo hono foha naʻe fānau kiate ia, ʻaia naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe Sela kiate ia, ko ʻAisake.
4 And he circumcised him on the eighth day, just as God had instructed him,
Pea naʻe kamu ʻe ʻEpalahame hono foha ko ʻAisake ʻi hono ʻaho valu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia,
5 when he was one hundred years old. Indeed, at this stage of his father’s life, Isaac was born.
Pea naʻe teau taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAisake kiate ia.
6 And Sarah said: “God has brought laughter to me. Whoever will hear of it will laugh with me.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sela, “Kuo fakakata au ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻe kata mo au ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻe fanongo ai.”
7 And again, she said: “Hearing this, who would believe Abraham, that Sarah breast-fed a son, to whom she gave birth, despite being elderly?”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai ia naʻe teitei pehē kia ʻEpalahame, ʻe fakahuhu ʻe Sela ha fānau? He kuo u fāʻeleʻi ha tama kiate ia ʻi heʻene motuʻa.”
8 And the boy grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻae tama, pea māvae ia, pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae kātoanga lahi ʻi he ʻaho naʻe māvae ai ʻa ʻAisake.
9 And when Sarah had seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with her son Isaac, she said to Abraham:
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Sela ki he tama ʻa Hekaʻā ko e fefine ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia ʻEpalahame, ʻoku manuki.
10 “Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman servant will not be heir with my son Isaac.”
Ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai kia ʻEpalahame, “Kapusi ʻae fefine pōpula ni mo ʻene tama: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai fakataha ʻae tama ʻae fefine pōpula ni, mo ʻeku tama ko ʻAisake.”
11 Abraham took this grievously, for the sake of his son.
Pea ko e meʻa fakamamahi lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻEpalahame, koeʻuhi ko hono foha.
12 And God said to him: “Let it not seem harsh to you concerning the boy and your woman servant. In all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame, “ʻOua naʻa ke mamahi koeʻuhi ko e tama, pe koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fefine kaunanga ka ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sela ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ne lea ai kiate koe koeʻuhi ʻe ui ia ʻAisake pe ʻa ho hako.
13 Yet I will also make the son of the woman servant into a great nation, for he is your offspring.”
Pea te u fakatupu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he tama ʻae fefine kaunanga, koeʻuhi ko ho hako ia.”
14 And so Abraham arose in the morning, and taking bread and a skin of water, he placed it upon her shoulder, and he handed over the boy, and he released her. And when she had departed, she wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo ne ʻomi ʻae mā mo e hina vai, ʻo ne ʻatu kia Hekaʻā, pea ne ai ia ki hono uma pea mo e tama, ʻo ne fekau ia ke ʻalu; pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo he fano pe ʻi he toafa ʻo Peasipa.
15 And when the water in the skin had been consumed, she set aside the boy, under one of the trees that were there.
Pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻae vai ʻi he hina, naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae tama ʻi he lolo ʻakau ʻe taha.
16 And she moved away and sat in a distant area, as far as a bow can reach. For she said, “I shall not see the boy die.” And so, sitting opposite her, he lifted up his voice and wept.
Ka ka ʻalu ia ʻo nofo fakahangatonu mai mei he mamaʻo ʻo tatau nai mo e touʻanga ngahau kuo fana; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia; “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻaku mamata ki he pekia ʻae tama, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻo hangatonu kiate ia, pea hiki hake ʻe ia hono leʻo ʻo tangi.”
17 But God heard the voice of the boy. And an Angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, saying: “What are you doing, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heeded the voice of the boy, from the place where he is.
Pea ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻoe tamasiʻi; pea lea mai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua kia Hekaʻā mei he langi ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamahi ai Hekaʻā? ʻOua te ke manavahē: he kuo ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻoe tamasiʻi mei he potu na.
18 Rise up. Take the boy and hold him by the hand. For I will make of him a great nation.”
Tuʻu, pea hiki hake ʻae tamasiʻi pea fafa ia ho nima: he te u ngaohi ia ko e puleʻanga lahi.”
19 And God opened her eyes. And seeing a well of water, she went and filled the skin, and she gave the boy to drink.
Pea naʻe fakaʻā ʻe he ʻOtua hono mata, pea naʻe mamata ia ki he matavai: pea ʻalu ia ʻo fakafonu ʻae hina ʻaki ʻae vai, pea ne fakainu ʻae tamasiʻi.
20 And God was with him. And he grew, and he stayed in the wilderness, and he became a young man, an archer.
Pea naʻe kau ʻae ʻOtua ki he tamasiʻi pea tupu ia, pea ne nofo ʻi he toafa, pea hoko ia ko e tangata fana.
21 And he lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he toafa ʻo Palani: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻene faʻē, ʻae uaifi kiate ia mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
22 At the same time, Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, said to Abraham: “God is with you in everything that you do.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻe lea kia ʻEpalahame ʻa ʻApimeleki, mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki lahi ia ʻo ʻene kautau, ʻo pehē: “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai;
23 Therefore, swear by God that you will do no harm to me, and to my posterity, and to my stock. But according to the mercy that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land, to which you have turned as a newcomer.”
Pea ko eni, ke ke fuakava kiate au ʻi he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ke fai kākā kiate au, pe ki hoku foha, pe ki he foha ʻo hoku foha, ka ke fai kiate au, mo e fonua, ʻaia kuo ke nofo ʻāunofo ki ai, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻofa kiate koe.”
24 And Abraham said, “I will swear.”
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Te u fuakava.”
25 And he reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
Pea naʻe valoki ʻe ʻEpalahame kia ʻApimeleki, koeʻuhi ko e vai keli naʻe faʻao fakamālohi ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻApimeleki.
26 And Abimelech responded, “I do not know who did this thing, but you also did not reveal it to me, nor have I heard of it, before today.”
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻApimeleki, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hai kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tala mai ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fanongo ki ai, ka ko e ʻaho ni pe.”
27 And so Abraham took sheep and oxen, and he gave them to Abimelech. And both of them struck a pact.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, ʻo ne foaki ia kia ʻApimeleki; pea naʻe fai ʻekinaua ʻae fuakava;
28 And Abraham set aside seven female lambs from the flock.
Pea naʻe vaheʻi mo tuku kehe ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae lami fefine ʻe fitu.
29 Abimelech said to him, “What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?”
Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻEpalahame; “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe lami fefine ʻe fitu kuo ke vaheʻi mo tuku kehe?”
30 But he said, “You will receive seven female lambs from my hand, so that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.”
Pea ne pehē, “Ke ke toʻo ia ʻo ʻave mei hoku nima, ʻae lami fefine ʻe fitu ko ia, koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻoni ia kiate au, naʻaku keli ʻae vai.
31 For this reason, that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them did swear.
Ko ia naʻa ne ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Peasipa: koeʻuhi naʻa na fefuakava ʻi ai;
32 And they initiated a pact on behalf of the well of oath.
Naʻe pehē ʻena fai ʻae fuakava ʻi Peasipa: pea tuʻu hake ʻa ʻApimeleki mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki lahi ʻo ʻene kautau, pea na toe ō ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
33 Then Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, rose up, and they returned to the land of the Palestinians. In truth, Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the Lord God Eternal.
Pea naʻe tō ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻi Peasipa, pea naʻe ui ai ia ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻOtua taʻengata;
34 And he was a settler in the land of the Palestinians for many days.
Pea naʻe ʻāunofo ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.
