Genesis 21
1 The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Yahwe akamsikiliza Sara kwa umakini kama alivyo kuwa amemwambia, Yahwe akamfanyia Sara kama alivyo kuwa amemwahidi.
2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Sara akachukua mimba na akamzalia Abraham mtoto wa kiume katika uzee wake, katika muda ule ule ambao Mungu alikuwa amemwambia.
3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Abraham akamwita jina mwanawe, ambaye alizaliwa kwake, na Sara, Isaka.
4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Abraham akamtahiri mwanawe Isaka alipofikisha siku nane, kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza.
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
Abraham alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja wakati mwanawe Isaka anazaliwa kwake.
6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
Sara akasema, “Mungu amenifanya nicheke; kila mtu atakaye sikia atacheka pamoja na nami.”
7 She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
Pia akasema, “Nani angesema kwa Abraham kwamba Sara atalea mtoto, na sasa kweli nimemzalia mtoto wakiume katika uzee wake!”
8 The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Mtoto akakua na akaachishwa kunyonya, na Abraham akafanya sherehe kubwa katika siku ambayo Isaka aliachishwa.
9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Sara akamwona mwana wa Hajiri Mmisri, ambaye alikuwa amezaliwa kwa Abraham, akidhihaki.
10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”
Kwa hiyo akamwambia Abraham, “Mfukuze huyu mwanamke huyu mtumwa pamoja na mtoto wake: kwa kuwa mtoto huyu wa mwanamke mtumwa hawezi kuwa mrithi pamoja na mwanangu Isaka.”
11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
Jambo hili likamuhuzunisha sana Abraham kwa sababu ya mwanawe.
12 God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.
Lakini Mungu akamwambia Abraham, “Usihuzunike kwa sababu ya kijana huyu, na kwa sababu ya mwanamke huyu mtumwa wako. Sikiliza maneno asemayo Sara juu ya jambo hili, kwa sababu itakuwa kupitia Isaka kwamba uzao wako utaitwa.
13 I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
Nitamfanya pia mtoto wa mjakazi kuwa taifa, kwa sababu ni uzao wako.”
14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Abraham akaamka asubuhi na mapema, akachukua mkate na kiriba cha maji, akampatia Hajiri, akiweka juu ya bega lake. Akamtoa kijana akampatia Hajiri na akawaondoa. Hajiri akaondoka akapotea katika jangwa la Beerisheba.
15 The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
Maji yalipokwisha kwenye kiriba akamtelekeza kijana katika moja ya vichaka.
16 She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
Kisha akaondoka, na akakaa umbali kidogo na yule kijana, umbali kama wa kutupa mshale, kwa vile alisema, “Na nisitazame kifo cha mtoto.” Alipokuwa amekaa kumkabili, akapaza sauti yake akalia.
17 God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
Mungu akasikia kilio cha kijana, na malaika wa Mungu akamwita Hajiri kutoka mbinguni, akamwambia, “Nini kinakusumbua? Usiogope, kwa kuwa Mungu amesikia kilio cha kijana mahali alipo.
18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
Inuka msimamishe mtoto, na umtie moyo; kwa kuwa nitamfanya kuwa taifa kubwa.”
19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
Kisha Mungu akayafunua macho ya Hajiri, natazama akaona kisima cha maji. Akaenda akajaza kiriba maji, na akampatia kijana akanywa.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.
Mungu akawa pamoja na kijana, na akakua. Akaishi jangwani akawa mwindaji.
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
Akaishi katka jangwa la Parani, na mama yake akampatia mke kutoka Misri.
22 At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
Ikawa kwamba katika wakati ule Abimeleki na Fikoli kamanda wa jeshi lake akamwambia Abraham, akisema, “Mungu yuko pamoja na wewe katika yote uyatendayo.
23 Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
Sasa niapie kwa Mungu kwamba hutanifanyia baya, wala mwanangu, wala uzao wangu. Onesha kwangu na kwa nchi ambayo umekuwa ukikaa agano lile lile la uaminifu ambalo nimekuonesha wewe.”
24 Abraham said, “I will swear.”
Abraham akasema, “Nina apa.”
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Abraham pia akamlalamikia Abimeleki kuhusu kisima cha maji ambacho watumishi wa Abimeleki wamekinyang'anya.
26 Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”
Abimeleki akasema, “Sijui ni nani amefanya jambo hili. Hukuniambia mapema; na sijalisikia ila leo hii.”
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
Kwa hiyo Abraham akachukua kondoo na ng'ombe maksai akampatia Abimeleki, na wawili hawa wakafanya agano.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Kisha Abraham akatenga wanakondoo wa kike saba pekeyao.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”
Abimeleki akamwambia Abraham, “Nini maana ya hawa wanakondoo wa kike saba ambao umewatenga pekeyao?”
30 He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”
Akajibu, “Hawa wanakondoo wa kike saba utawapokea kutoka mkonono mwangu, ili kwamba uwe ushahidi kwangu, kuwa nichimba kisima hiki.”
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.
Kwa hiyo akaita mahali pale Beerisheba, kwa sababu mahali pale wote wawili wali apa kiapo.
32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
Walifanya agano hapo Bersheba, kisha Abimeleki na Fikoli, amiri wa jeshi, wakarudi katika nchi ya Wafilisti.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
Abraham akapanda mti wa mkwaju katika Beerisheba. Na pale akamwabudu Yahwe, Mungu wa milele.
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
Abraham akasalia kuwa mgeni katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa siku nyingi.
