Genesis 21
1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
Wakati huu Bwana akamrehemu Sara kama alivyokuwa amesema, naye Bwana akamtendea Sara kile alichokuwa ameahidi.
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 akapata mimba, akamzalia Abrahamu mwana katika uzee wake, majira yale ya Mungu aliomwahidi.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
Abrahamu akamwita Isaki yule mwana ambaye Sara alimzalia.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Isaki alipokuwa na umri wa siku nane, Abrahamu akamtahiri, kama Mungu alivyomwamuru.
5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Abrahamu alikuwa na miaka 100 wakati Isaki mwanawe alipozaliwa.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me.
Sara akasema, “Mungu ameniletea kicheko, kila mmoja atakayesikia jambo hili atacheka pamoja nami.”
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.
Akaongeza kusema, “Nani angemwambia Abrahamu kuwa Sara angenyonyesha watoto? Tena nimemzalia mwana katika uzee wake.”
8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Mtoto akakua, akaachishwa kunyonya. Siku hiyo Isaki alipoachishwa kunyonya, Abrahamu alifanya sherehe kubwa.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Abraham, mocking.
Lakini Sara aliona kuwa mwana ambaye Hagari, Mmisri, aliyemzalia Abrahamu alikuwa anadhihaki,
10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
Sara akamwambia Abrahamu, “Mwondoe mwanamke huyo mtumwa pamoja na mwanawe, kwa kuwa mwana wa mwanamke mtumwa kamwe hatarithi pamoja na mwanangu Isaki.”
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
Jambo hili lilimhuzunisha sana Abrahamu kwa sababu lilimhusu mwanawe.
12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Lakini Mungu akamwambia, “Usihuzunike hivyo kwa sababu ya kijana na mtumishi wako wa kike. Sikiliza lolote Sara analokuambia, kwa sababu uzao wako utahesabiwa kupitia kwake Isaki.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
Nitamfanya huyu mwana wa mtumishi wako wa kike kuwa taifa pia, kwa sababu naye ni uzao wako.”
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 the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
Kesho yake asubuhi na mapema, Abrahamu akachukua chakula na kiriba cha maji, akampa Hagari. Akaviweka mabegani mwa Hagari, akamwondoa pamoja na kijana. Hagari akashika njia, akatangatanga katika jangwa la Beer-Sheba.
15 And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
Maji yalipokwisha kwenye kiriba, akamwacha kijana chini ya mojawapo ya vichaka.
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 lift up her voice, and wept.
Kisha akajiendea zake akaketi karibu, umbali wa kutupa mshale, akawaza, “Siwezi kumwangalia kijana akifa.” Ikawa alipokuwa ameketi pale karibu, akaanza kulia kwa huzuni.
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.
Mungu akamsikia kijana akilia, malaika wa Mungu akamwita Hagari kutoka mbinguni na kumwambia, “Kuna nini Hagari? Usiogope, Mungu amesikia kijana analia akiwa amelala pale.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
Mwinue kijana na umshike mkono, kwa maana nitamfanya kuwa taifa kubwa.”
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.
Ndipo Mungu akamfumbua Hagari macho yake naye akaona kisima cha maji. Hivyo akaenda akajaza kiriba maji na kumpa kijana anywe.
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Mungu akawa pamoja na huyu kijana alipokuwa akiendelea kukua. Aliishi jangwani na akawa mpiga upinde.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Alipokuwa akiishi katika Jangwa la Parani, mama yake akampatia mke kutoka Misri.
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:
Wakati huo Abimeleki na Fikoli mkuu wa majeshi yake wakamwambia Abrahamu, “Mungu yu pamoja nawe katika kila kitu unachofanya.
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.
Sasa niapie hapa mbele za Mungu kwamba hutanitenda hila mimi, watoto wangu wala wazao wangu. Nitendee mimi na nchi ambayo unaishi kama mgeni wema ule ule ambao nimekutendea.”
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
Abrahamu akasema, “Ninaapa hivyo.”
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Ndipo Abrahamu akalalamika kwa Abimeleki kuhusu kisima cha maji ambacho watumishi wa Abimeleki walikuwa wamekinyangʼanya.
26 And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but today.
Lakini Abimeleki akasema, “Sijui ni nani ambaye amefanya hili. Hukuniambia, leo tu ndipo ninasikia habari zake.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
Hivyo Abrahamu akaleta kondoo na ngʼombe, akampa Abimeleki, nao watu hawa wawili wakafanya mapatano.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Abrahamu akatenga kondoo wa kike saba kutoka kwenye kundi,
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
Abimeleki akamuuliza Abrahamu, “Ni nini maana ya hawa kondoo wa kike saba uliowatenga peke yao?”
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.
Abrahamu akamjibu, “Upokee hawa kondoo wa kike saba kutoka mkononi mwangu kama ushahidi kuwa nilichimba kisima hiki.”
31 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
Hivyo mahali pale pakaitwa Beer-Sheba, kwa sababu watu wawili waliapiana hapo.
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.
Baada ya mapatano kufanyika huko Beer-Sheba, Abimeleki na Fikoli mkuu wa majeshi yake wakarudi katika nchi ya Wafilisti.
33 And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
Abrahamu akapanda mti wa mkwaju huko Beer-Sheba, na hapo akaliitia jina la Bwana, Mungu wa milele.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
Naye Abrahamu akakaa katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa muda mrefu.
