Genesis 21 (LGA)

1Ego i Iahova sa lame ovikia si Sera isa vei sa pojainia perangana ko i Iahova sa roitinia tai Sera sa na sa vei sa pojai.Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.

2Ko sa bogata si Sera beto sa vapore vania kai tuna marene si Ebarahami totonai sa baragoso isa pa totoso tugu isa vei sa pojai na Tamasa perangana tana.So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.

3I Ebarahami sa vaisongonia i Aisake sa na tuna marene sa vapore vania i Sera.And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.

4Pana vinavesu rane tonai sa podo si Aisake sa, i Ebarahami sa pobea sisa vei sa garununia na Tamasa.When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.

5Kai gogoto aorona si Ebarahami totonai sa podo i Aisake na tuna.Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

6Ko pira sau si Sera, <<Sava avusiu ara sa na Tamasa, ko ira doru na tinoni mai nongoronia sapi ba kode mai avu vei tugu ara,>> sau sisa.Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”

7Beto sa pira sau mutu, <<Karo ko I sei mina ule vania si Ebarahami sa i Sera sa vasusu koburu? Ura ara qa vapodo vania kai koburu marene totonai sa tei baragoso tu sisa,>> sau sisa.She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

8Ego sa lavata sae sa na koburu ko sa loa susu, ko sa roitinia i Ebarahami sa kai vavolo lavata na ranena sa loa susu si Aisake.So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.

9Ego i Sera sa batia sa na tuna marene i Ebarahami isa qi vaporenia tai Haqa na rereko Ijipi sa, sa gigila avavu vaivatorasa.But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,

10Ba pira saunia si Ebarahami, <<Mu iju variua sa na rereko pinausu ina beto na tuna marene, ura na tuna marene na rereko pinausu ina sa minake somana isongo tavitia i Aisake na tuqu marene ara sa na isisongo,>> sau.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!”

11Na sakasava api sa vatakulanga vivitigia si Ebarahami ura na veveina gu na tuna marene sa na ginugua alepi.Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.

12Ba pira sau sa na Tamasa tai Ebarahami, <<Muke takulangania ao na koburu marene beto na mua nabulu rereko. Doruna gu vei sa pojanigo i Sera sa mu tutia gu na ovovelena isa ura ti Aisake tu mina tagigala vei sa na tutimu ao.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.

13Ba na tuna na nabulu rereko ba mana veinia tugu kai bubutu tinoni ara ura isa ba na tutimu tugu ao,>> saunia.But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”

14Ego sa turu vuvugei jonga si Ebarahami ko sa vatanai kaki tetekuna beto kai kukurani pie ko sa vasugaraniria pa varana i Haqa beto sa loa lao vania na koburu beto sa garunu variua. Ko sa riu si Haqa ko sa lekogo mumumaona pa qega pa Biaseba.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.

15Totonai sa pidili na pie pa kukurana na pie poni, sa vatoqoa sa na tuna marene pa kauruna kai leo mumuqu.When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.

16Beto sa riu toqo pa kai ia papada souna na gonana na tupi ura sau, qake nyogua batia na matena na koburu, sau. Beto sa toqo kai ia tatana ketakoi beto sa ovulia na ovovelena ko sa vagorea na lukana.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.

17Ego sa nongoria na Tamasa sa na ovovelena na koburu marene, ko na mateana tana Tamasa sa kukua si Haqa koko pa noka ko pira saunia, <<Na sa sa na tapata, Haqa? Muke matagutu ura sa tei nongoria tu na Tamasa sa na ovovelena na koburu tonai sa kole isa ketakoi.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.

18Mu teku vaturua na koburu ko mu arua na limana, ura isa sa mina kai bubutu tinoni lavata mana veinia ara,>> sau.Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”

19Beto sa revangia na Tamasa sa na matana i Haqa ko sa batia sa kai oqili pie takorina. Ko sa lao ko sa vutugu vapugelia sa na kukurani pie beto sa vabukua sa na koburu.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.

20Ego sa vavaburoa na Tamasa sa na koburu totonai sa lavata sae. Ko sa suvere pa qega ko kai tinoni gogona pa bokala sisa.And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.

21Totonai sa korapa suvere pa qega pa Parani sisa sa, na tinana sa teku vania kai rereko Ijipi ko sa alavia.And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

22Pa totoso isa sa i Abimeleki beto i Pikolo na kuta tadira na tinoni vaipera tana sa qai parangia si Ebarahami, pira qarigunia, <<Na Tamasa sa suvere tavitigo sao pa doru sakasava qu roitiniria.At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.

23Ko mu maulu lame taqu kopira tugu pa moena na Tamasa vei ao sa munake roiti seseke lame taqu babi ira na tuqu babi ira na tutiqu ara. Mu vatadogoronia taqu beto tadira na tinoni pa gusu ketakoi qu korapa suvere vei na tinoni karovona sa na toa vairoqu isa vei qa roiti laonia ara tamu,>> sau.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.”

24Poni pira sau si Ebarahami, <<Qa maulunia ara sisa,>> saunia.And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”

25Beto poni sa sa ququmi lao tai Abimeleki si Ebarahami veveina na oqili pie takorina qai aru tekua ira na nabulu tai Abimeleki.But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,

26Ba sa paranga tu si Abimeleki, pira sau, <<Koi! Ara qake gigilai i sei sa roitinia sa na ginugua le alepi. Ao quke vavakato vanisiu ara ko ara ba qake nongoronia tinganai pa ngeni tugu api,>> saunia.Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”

27Ko sa tekuria i Ebarahami sa na sipi beto na bulumakau beto sa vania si Abimeleki ko qai vatoqoa ira karu sa kai vinaego.So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.

28Ka vitu tuni sipi rereko pa gogodo sipi sa sa vakole kalea i Ebarahami.Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,

29Poni pira sau si Abimeleki tai Ebarahami, <<Na savadi sira ka vitu tuni sipi rereko qu vakole kaleria inara?>> sau.and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”

30Poni pira sau si Ebarahami, <<Mu teku vakarovia pa limaqu ara sira na tuni sipi rereko aipira vei na ule votu vasosotona vei ara qa koria sa na oqili pie takorina alepi,>> saunia.He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”

31Ko sa vei sa sa tavaisongonia Biaseba sa na ia isa ura ketakoi sa qai maulu sira karu.So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.

32Pa liguna qai vatoqoa ira sa na vinaego pa Biaseba sa, qai tavaturu sira Abimeleki i Pikolo na kuta tadira na tinoni vaipera tana ko qai muledia pa ia tadira na tinoni Pilisitia.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.

33I Ebarahami sa umania sa kai gou tamarisiki pa Biaseba, beto ketakoi sa kuku vatarasaea isa sa na isongona i Iahova, na Tamasa kole jolana.And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.

34Ego na totoso kakasana sa sa suvere vei na tinoni karovona pa ia tadira na tinoni Pilisitia si Ebarahami.And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
