Genesis 21
1 Yahweh was very kind to Sarah, just as he said he would be. He did for Sarah exactly what he promised to do.
LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal Sarah oana ke El tuh wulela,
2 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Abraham when he was very old, at the time God promised it would happen.
ac el pitutuyak ac oswela wen se nu sel Abraham ke el matuoh. Tulik mukul sac osweyukla ke pacl se na God El tuh fahk mu el ac isusla.
3 Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to.
Abraham el sang inel Isaac,
4 Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do.
ac ke Isaac el len oalkosr matwal, Abraham el kosralla, oana ke God El sapkin.
5 Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
Abraham el yac siofok ke Isaac el isusla.
6 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.”
Sarah el fahk, “God El oru tuh nga in engan ac israsr. Mwet nukewa su lohng lah nga isusla fah wiyu israsr.”
7 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.”
Na el sifilpa fahk, “Ku su mu nga ac sun katiti tulik, ac tafweang nu sel Abraham? A nga osweang nu sel sie wen ke el arulana matu.”
8 The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.
Tulik sac matula, ac ke len se el liktitla, Abraham el oru sie kufwa na lulap.
9 ([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.
Sie len ah, Ishmael, su Hagar mutan Egypt sac osweang nu sel Abraham, el welul Isaac wen natul Sarah, srital.
10 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!”
Sarah el liyaltal ac fahk nu sel Abraham, “Lusak mutan kulansap se inge ac wen se natul ah. Wen se nutin mutan se inge fah tiana eis kutena ip ke mwe kasrup lom, su Isaac wen nutik el ac fah usrui.”
11 Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].
Ma se inge arulana akfohsyalak Abraham, mweyen ma pac natul pa Ishmael.
12 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.
Tusruktu God El fahk nu sel Abraham, “Nik kom elya ke tulik sac ac Hagar, mutan kulansap lom. Oru oana ma Sarah el fahk nu sum an, mweyen Isaac pa ac sot fwilin tulik nutum ma nga wuleot nu sum.
13 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.”
Nga fah oayapa sang tulik puspis nutin wen nutin mutan kulansap sac, tuh elos in fah orala sie mutunfacl lulap. Ma pac nutum pa el.”
14 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].
Toangna in lotu se tok ah, Abraham el tukakek ac eis kutu mwe mongo ac pak kulun kosro se sessesla ke kof, ac filiya finpisal Hagar, na el supwalla ac tulik sac. Hagar el som forfor acn turangang uten Beersheba.
15 After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.
Ke kof nimaltal ah lisr nufon, Hagar el filiya tulik sac ye sak soko
16 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].
ac som muta srengla sahp ac yact siofok ma liki tulik sac. El nunku in el, “Nga tia ku in muta ngetang liye tulik se nutik inge ke ac misa uh.” Ke el muta insac, el mutawauk in tung.
17 [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.
God El lohng ke tulik sac tung, ac lipufan se lun God kaskas nu sel Hagar inkusrao me ac fahk, “Hagar, mea kom sis an? Nikmet sangeng. God El lohng tung lun tulik sac.
18 Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
Tuyak, fahla sraklalak, ac akwoyalla. Nga ac oru sie mutunfacl lulap ke fwilin tulik natul.”
19 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.
Na God El ikasla mutal Hagar, ac el liyauk lufin kof se. El som ac nwakla pak sac ke kof, ac sang kiteya tulik sac.
20 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).
God El wi tulik mukul sac ke el matula. El muta in acn turangang uten acn Paran, ac el sie mwet sruh kosro na pisrla.
21 He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.
Nina kial ah konauk mutan Egypt se kial Ismael.
22 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.
In pacl sac, Abimelech el welul Phicol, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lal, som ac fahk nu sel Abraham, “God El wi kom in ma nukewa kom oru.
23 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.”
Ke ma inge, orala sie wulela na ku an ye mutun God, lah kom ac tia kiapweyula, ku tulik nutik, ku fwilin tulik nutik tok ah. Pacl nukewa nga inse pwayena nu sum, ke ma inge wulema nu sik lah kom ac oayapa inse pwaye nu sik ac nu sin facl se su kom muta we inge.”
24 So Abraham promised to do that.
Na Abraham el fahk, “Nga wuleot ouingan.”
25 [Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
Abraham el tukakin nu sel Abimelech ke lufin kof se ma mwet kulansap lal Abimelech elos tuh sruokya.
26 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.”
Abimelech el fahk, “Nga tia etu lah su oru an. Kom tiana fahk nu sik, ac nga tufahna lohng pa inge.”
27 So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
Na Abraham el sang kutu sheep ac cow nu sel Abimelech, ac eltal orala sie wulela ku inmasrloltal.
28 Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
Abraham el srela sheep fusr mutan itkosr liki un sheep natul,
29 Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
ac Abimelech el siyuk sel, “Mea se kom oru ingan?”
30 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.”
Abraham el topuk, “Eis sheep fusr itkosr inge. Ke kom eis ma inge kom akpwayei lah nga pa mwet se ma pukanak luf se inge.”
31 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.
Ouinge acn sac pangpang Beersheba, mweyen acn sac pa eltal orala wulela se inmasrloltal inge we uh.
32 After they made the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and his army commander, Phicol, left, and returned to the land of the Philistine people-group.
Tukun eltal orala wulela se inmasrloltal in acn Beersheba, Abimelech ac Phicol folokla nu Philistia.
33 Abraham planted a (tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel) there, and he worshiped the eternal God there.
Na Abraham el yukwiya sak tamarisk soko in acn Beersheba, ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD, God Su Moul Ma Pahtpat.
34 Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
Abraham el muta Philistia ke pacl na loeloes se.
