Genesis 21 (BEO)

1Hina Gode da Ea ilegele sia:i defele Selama hahawane hamoi.Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.

2Amo eso defei, Gode da sia:i defele, Sela da abula agui amola dunu mano lalelegei. A:ibalaha:me da da:i hamone, amo esoga Sela da ema dunu mano lai.So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.

3Amo dunu mano Sela da ema lai, A:ibalaha:me da dio asuli amo Aisage.And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.

4Aisage da eso godoane esalu, A:ibalaha:me da Gode Ea hamoma:ne sia:i defele, ea gadofo damui.When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.

5Aisage da lalelegeloba, A:ibalaha:me ea ode esalu da ode 100 ba:i.Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

6Sela da amane sia:i, “Gode da nama hahawane ousu i. Dunu huluane amo hou nabasea da hahawaneba:le, ilia da na amola gilisili oumu.”Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”

7E eno amane sia:i, “Dunu da Sela da manoma dodo maga:me imunu hamedei liligi agoane sia:mu galu. Be na da A:ibalaha:me ea da:i hamoi esoga ema dunu mano lai.”She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

8Aisage da asigilalasi amola ea:me ea dodo nasu fisi. Amo esoga, A:ibalaha:me da lolo nasu bagade hamoi.So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.

9Isiama:ile (amo Idibidi hawa: hamosu uda Ha:iga ea mano) da Aisagema habosesele hedei.But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,

10Sela da amo hou ba:beba:le, A:ibalaha:mema amane sia:i, “Amo udigili hawa: hamosu uda amola ea mano sefasima. Amo uda ea mano da dia nana liligi amola muni la:idi lamu da defea hame galebe. Nagofe Aisage hi fawane lamu da defea.”and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”

11Amo sia: nababeba:le, A:ibalaha:me da se bagade nabi. Bai Isiama:ile amola da ea mano galu.Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.

12Be Gode da A:ibalaha:mema amane sia:i, “Isiama:ile amola dia udigili hawa: hamosu uda Ha:iga ela hou dawa:beba:le, mae da:i dioma. Sela ea sia: defele hamoma. Dia fidafa da Aisagema lalelegemu.But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.

13Be Na da udigili hawa: hamosu uda ea mano ema mano bagohame imunu. E amola da fi bagade hamomu. Bai e amola da dia mano.”But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”

14Aya hahabedafa, A:ibalaha:me da ha:i manu amola gadofo houga:i hano nasu hano amoga nabai, amo Ha:igama i. E da Isiama:ile amo Ha:iga ea baligi da:iya ligisili, ela asunasi. Ha:iga da asili, Biasiba wadela:i hafoga:i soge ganodini udigili lalu.Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.

15Hano amo da gadofo houga:i dialu amo huluane da ebele ba:loba, e da mano ifa fonobahadi hagudu ligisili,When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.

16asili, dadi gala:i ea defei amoga asili, fi galu. E amane dawa:i, “Na da na mano bogomu ba:mu higasa.” E da muni esala dinanu.Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I cannot bear to watch the boy die!” And as she sat nearby, she lifted up her voice and wept.

17Gode da mano ea dibi nabi dagoi. Gode Ea a:igele dunu da Hebene amoga Ha:igama welalu, amane sia:i, “Ha:iga! Di da abuli da:i diobela:? Mae beda:ma! Gode da mano ea dibi nabi dagoi.Then God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he lies.

18Di da dia mano lobolele wa:lesima. Na da ea lalelegemu fi bagade hamomu.”Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”

19Amalalu, Gode da Ha:iga ea si fadegale, e da hano uli dou ba:i. Amaiba:le, e da asili gadofo houga:i amo hanoga nabalu, ea manoma i.Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.

20Asili, amo mano da asigilaloba, Gode da noga:le fidi. E da hano hame wadela:i soge ganodini esalu. E da dadiga gala:su hou bagade dawa:i.And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.

21E da Balane wadela:i hafoga:i soge amo ganodini esalea, ea:me da Idibidi uda Isiama:ile lama:ne hogole, ema i.And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

22Amo esoga, Abimelege amola ea dadi gagui ouligisu dunu amo Faigole, da A:ibalaha:mema amane sia:i, “Dia hou huluane amo ganodini Gode da noga:le fidilala.At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.

23Amaiba:le, wali nama gousa:su hamoma. Gode ba:ma:ne, moloidafa sia:ma! Di da na mano amola nagaga fi ilima hame ogogomu amola hame hohonomu, amane ilegele sia:ma! Di da nama amola na soge amo di da sofe misi defele ganodini esala, amoma asigi hou na da dima olelei defele hamoma.”Now, therefore, swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”

24A:ibalaha:me da amane sia:i, “Na da amane dafawane ilegesa!”And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”

25Amalalu, A:ibalaha:me da Abimelegema egai. Bai Abimelege ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da hano uli dou gegene gasawane lai. Amola A:ibalaha:me da amo hou higale ba:i.But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,

26Be Abimelege da bu adole i, “Na da hame dawa:! Nowa da hamobela:? Di da nama hame adoi. Na da wahadafa nabi.”Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”

27Amaiba:le, A:ibalaha:me da sibi amola bulamagau lale Abimelegema i. Ela da gousa:su hamoi dagoi.So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.

28A:ibalaha:me da sibi mano aseme fesuale gala ea sibi gilisisu amoma afafai.Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,

29Amola Abimelege da A:ibalaha:mema amane adole ba:i, “Amo sibi mano aseme fesuale gala di da afafai, amo ea bai da adila:?”and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”

30A:ibalaha:me da bu adole i, “Amo sibi mano fesuale gala, di lama! Amo da na amo hano uli dou nisu dogoi, amo dafawane dawa:ma:ne, amo sibi da ba:su ilegei gala.”He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”

31Amaiba:le, amo hano uli dou ea dio da Biasiba. Bai amo dunu aduna da gasa bagade gousa:su amogai hamoi galu.So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.

32Biasiba amoga ilia gousa:su hamonanu, Abimelege amola ea dadi gagui ouligisu dunu amo Faigole, da Filisidini fi ilia sogega buhagi.After they had made the covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army got up and returned to the land of the Philistines.

33A:ibalaha:me da ‘da:malisigi’ ifa Biasiba sogega bugi. Amoga e da Hina Gode, Eso huluane Esalalalusu Gode, Ema nodone sia:ne gadoi.And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.

34Amola A:ibalaha:me da Filisidini soge amo ganodini ode bagohame esalu.And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
