Genesis 21 (JUM)

1Aŋ Pïṭo Caarra näŋgene ŋerrä bata yaana kiinneeda kä ye, aŋ gin'a irkeneeda kä jiik ye näŋgeneeda kä.Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.

2Aŋ Caarra laaccä aŋ Abrayiim gitkene oonle i a daan aŋan, kä waan yaana kiinene daa kä Jooŋ ye.So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.

3Aŋ Abrayiim oonle yaana gitkene daa kä Caarra ye, äkkene ogo Icaak.And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.

4Aŋ wääna Icaak nïïnke aŋŋene cunuuk ye, eri Abrayiim bata yaana iingene daa kä Jooŋ ye.When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.

5Aŋ Icaak wääna giidene daa kä me ye i Abrayiim yuunge 100.Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

6Aŋ Caarra jaajjin ogo, “Jooŋ ika iñña tüggïn yaalgä, aŋ m'ana bi tïïŋï ye bi yiṭon kä.”Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”

7Aŋ ike cäänna jaajjin ogo, “A ŋaani ken yoku Abrayiim kiine ogo Caarra bi niito merkä? Inni gitkänä oonle i ike aŋŋi daan yaanni.”She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

8Aŋ Icaak kaarrä aŋ tääkki me kä aak, aŋ nïïnnä yaanja ti Abrayiim tuttu poñ waak äämkä.So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.

9Aŋ Caarra Icämayiil yaana a giiton kä Abrayiim Haajir yen mä Macïr ti ye, yoorre minneni Icaak kääje yok.But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,

10Aŋ ike Abrayiim kiinne ogo, “Kiingon iiŋe yaanni ñoolci woo ke minneni yeene, kiingon iiŋe yaanni minneni yeene batta bi ñääkï yäṇṇä ke minneni yeeni Icaak.”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!”

11Aŋ Abrayiim jone yaaññä kä jiik yaakka kä yaana Icämayiil agee kä minneni yeene ye.Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.

12Aŋ Abrayiim kiini Jooŋ ogo, “Ŋana jonü yaajaŋ kä oonle ke kiingon iiŋe yüünü. Jiik yaaka kiingi kä Caarra ye ken tiiŋä, aŋ kä Icaak kaaynä yüükü bi käjä woo.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.

13Aŋ ika cäänna bi näŋä ṭoŋ yek kaaynä Icämayiil minneni Haajir, kä yaana agee kä minneni yüünü cäänna ye.”But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”

14Aŋ kä tïṇṇäŋänä aŋŋi Abrayiim juwin ñaalok, aŋ kuññu amma ke kücam piik aŋ iññe Haajir. Aŋ ŋääpkeneeda kä büyke ti. Aŋ tucce woo ke oonle, aŋ ike attä päy jï aŋ yääynä woo teettälaŋ nänṭ'a battä me ogo Bïïrcïba ye, aŋ aŋan ogo Jïïn Lïïttäŋ.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.

15Aŋ wääna piik baawkene kücam jï ye, minneni maaṭṭe ïñï jaan ŋoy.When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.

16Aŋ attä cääjjin ïñï woo pare kä meec, i ñome agee kä ṭukon woo, aŋ ike jaajjin ogo, “Ika batta ṭäkä minneni tüw i yooddu.” Aŋ ike cääy ïñï wïca i waŋge dürok kä ïwok.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.

17Aŋ Jooŋ ïwok minneni tiiŋene ïñï, aŋ Haajir bärki malak yen Jooŋ kä ñaalok polloŋ jïnä ogo, “Haajir, a ŋaaka ken yaajaŋ? Ŋana ïkï booju! Ïwok minneni tiiŋi ïñï Jooŋ nänṭ'a nïïnee kä ye.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.

18Atä minneni koowu ñaalok ïntü ti, ike bi naŋä wäätï a ṭoŋ yäwke.”Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”

19Aŋ ike kupki waŋgin Jooŋ aŋ yurcin jïïn a küümon kä piik. Aŋ ike attä kä bïraŋ kücam yeene küümgene kä piik aŋ äckene minneni mätcin.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.

20Aŋ Jooŋ daa ke minneni ke täle woo teettälaŋ luummuk. Aŋ wäättä a m'ana yaacänä yok kä ḍiŋŋä cäwgä ye.And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.

21Aŋ wääna cääynee kä woo teettälaŋ nänṭ'a battä me ogo Paaraan ye, ḍijgi meen iiŋ ŋommañ mä Macïr ti.And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

22Aŋ waan yaanja ti Abimaliik äätin ke Paykool ḍuuŋgon kääygä yeeke ükcïdï Abrayiim aŋ kiinne ogo, “Jooŋ ke ïkï nääŋkä yaaka naŋdä muure ye ti.At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.

23Lïïtkaa kä yäṇtäŋ Jooŋ ogo ika batta bi maljada ŋïngïn ke merkä yeeki ke kaaynä yeeki. Ïkï näŋgeneni nääŋkä ŋerkä, aŋ lïïtä ogo ika bi näŋgada nääŋkä ŋerkä ke baan yaana cääyii kä jï agii kä boorgon yaanni.”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.”

24Aŋ Abrayiim jaajjin ogo, “Ika lïïtä.”And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”

25Aŋ Abrayiim cïŋŋä Abimaliik ti kä yaana jïïn piik koojjene daa kä woo kiinkä Abimaliik kä ookïtïn kiinkä yeeke ti ye.But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,

26Aŋ luugi Abimaliik ogo, “Kuju a ŋaani ken näŋŋä nääŋkä yaakka. Ïkï ika batta agja kä nüütkïdïnï, inni mor daa tiiŋdä tiññaaŋŋi yaanni.”Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”

27Aŋ Abrayiim Abimaliik äckene woo ḍiik ke däk, aŋ iken muuṭuk näŋŋä jiik ḍoocin.So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.

28Aŋ Abrayiim ŋuccin wääkin woo käbälgä määngen kä ŋaṭükel aŋ ḍoocce woo pääken.Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,

29Aŋ Abimaliik Abrayiim taaññe ogo, “Käbälgä määngen yaaka wäägini woo kä ŋaṭükel aŋ ḍoocci woo pääken yaakki a yek ŋaaka?”and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”

30Aŋ luugi Abrayiim ogo, “Käbälgä määngen yaaka kä ŋaṭükel yaakki gïmgä ïṇtï ti, dalä nüütï ogo jïïn yaanni küüññoo ko ika.”He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”

31Aŋ nänṭä yaanja äkki me ogo Bïïrcïba, nüütï ogo nänṭ'a lïïttïï ko Abrayiim ke Abimaliik ye.So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.

32Aŋ wääna näŋŋene jiik ḍoocin Bïïrcïba ye, Abimaliik ke Paykool ḍuuŋgon kääygä yeene ḍukcin baan yen mä Palactïïn ti.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.

33Aŋ Abrayiim pïïttä jaan battä me ogo tamaric ye Bïïrcïba ti, aŋ ike mäŋjin ñaalok Pïṭo Jooŋ yaana ke cüle ye ti.And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.

34Aŋ Abrayiim cääynä bata boorgon baan mä Palactïïn ti nïïnkä kä ḍiräk.And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
