Genesis 21 (YOR)

1Olúwa sì bẹ Sara wò bí ó ti wí, Olúwa sì ṣe fún Sara gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣèlérí.Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.

2Sara sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún Abrahamu ní ọjọ́ ogbó rẹ̀, ní àkókò náà gan an tí Ọlọ́run ti ṣèlérí fún un.So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.

3Abrahamu sì sọ orúkọ ọmọ náà tí Sara bí fun un ní Isaaki.And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.

4Nígbà tí Isaaki pé ọmọ ọjọ́ mẹ́jọ, Abrahamu sì kọ ọ́ ní ilà gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run ti pàṣẹ fún un.When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.

5Ẹni ọgọ́rùn-ún ọdún ni Abrahamu nígbà tí ó bí Isaaki.Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

6Sara sì wí pé, “Ọlọ́run ti pa mí lẹ́rìn-ín. Gbogbo ẹni tí ó bá sì gbọ́ pé mo bímọ yóò rẹ́rìn-ín pẹ̀lú mi.”Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”

7Ó sì fi kún un pé, “Ta ni ó le sọ fún Abrahamu pé, Sara yóò di ọlọ́mọ? Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, mo sì tún bí ọmọ fún Abrahamu ní ìgbà ogbó rẹ.”She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

8Nígbà tí ọmọ náà dàgbà, ó sì gbà á lẹ́nu ọmú, ní ọjọ́ tí a gba Isaaki lẹ́nu ọmú, Abrahamu ṣe àsè ńlá.So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.

9Ṣùgbọ́n Sara rí ọmọ Hagari ará Ejibiti tí ó bí fún Abrahamu tí ó fi ṣe ẹlẹ́yà,But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,

10ó sì wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Lé ẹrúbìnrin yìí àti ọmọ rẹ̀ jáde, nítorí ọmọ ẹrú yìí kò ní bá ọmọ mi Isaaki pín ogún.”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!”

11Ọ̀rọ̀ náà sì ba Abrahamu lọ́kàn jẹ́ gidigidi nítorí ọmọ rẹ̀ náà sá à ni Iṣmaeli i ṣe.Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.

12Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run wí fun Abrahamu pé, “Má ṣe ba ọkàn jẹ́ nítorí ọmọ náà àti ẹrúbìnrin rẹ. Gbọ́ ohun tí Sara wí fún ọ, nítorí nínú Isaaki ni a ó ti pe irú-ọmọ rẹ̀.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.

13Èmi yóò sọ ọmọ ẹrúbìnrin náà di orílẹ̀-èdè pẹ̀lú, nítorí ọmọ rẹ ni.”But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”

14Abrahamu sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ó sì mú oúnjẹ àti ìgò omi kan, ó sì kó wọn fún Hagari, ó kó wọn lé e léjìká, ó sì lé e jáde pẹ̀lú ọmọ náà. Ó sì lọ lọ́nà rẹ, ó sì ń ṣe alárìnkiri ní ijù Beerṣeba.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.

15Nígbà tí omi inú ìgò náà tan, ó gbé ọmọ náà sí abẹ́ igbó.When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.

16Ó sì lọ, ó sì jókòó nítòsí ibẹ̀, níwọ̀n bí ìtafà kan, nítorí, ó rò ó nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi kò fẹ́ wo bí ọmọ náà yóò ṣe kú.” Bí ó sì ti jókòó sí tòsí ibẹ̀, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní sọkún.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.

17Ọlọ́run gbọ́ ohun ẹkún náà, Angẹli Ọlọ́run sì pe Hagari láti ọ̀run, ó sì wí fun un pé, “Hagari, kín ni ó ṣe ọ́? Má bẹ̀rù nítorí Ọlọ́run ti gbọ́ ẹkún ọmọ náà níbi tí o tẹ́ ẹ sí.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.

18Dìde, gbé ọmọ náà sókè, kí o sì dìímú (tù ú nínú) nítorí èmi yóò sọ ọmọ náà di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá.”Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”

19Ọlọ́run sì ṣí ojú Hagari, ó sì rí kànga kan, ó lọ síbẹ̀, ó rọ omi kún inú ìgò náà, ó sì fún ọmọ náà mu.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.

20Ọlọ́run sì wà pẹ̀lú ọmọ náà bí ó ti ń dàgbà, ó ń gbé nínú ijù, ó sì di tafàtafà.And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.

21Nígbà tí ó ń gbé ni aginjù ní Parani, ìyá rẹ̀ fẹ́ ìyàwó fún un láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá.And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

22Ní àkókò yìí ni ọba Abimeleki àti Fikoli, olórí ogun rẹ̀ wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú gbogbo ohun tí ó ń ṣe.At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.

23Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, fi Ọlọ́run búra fún mi, ìwọ kì yóò tàn mí àti àwọn ọmọ mi àti àwọn ìran mi, ìwọ yóò fi inú rere hàn fún mi àti orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ ti ṣe àtìpó, bí mo ti fihàn fún ọ pẹ̀lú.”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.”

24Abrahamu sì wí pé, “Èmí búra.”And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”

25Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu fi ẹ̀dùn ọkàn rẹ̀ hàn fún Abimeleki nípa kànga tí àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ gbà lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,

26Ṣùgbọ́n Abimeleki dáhùn pé, “Èmi kò mọ ẹni tí ó ṣe nǹkan yìí. Ìwọ kò sì sọ fún mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò gbọ́, bí kò ṣe lónìí.”Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”

27Abrahamu sì mú àgùntàn àti màlúù wá, ó sì kó wọn fún Abimeleki. Àwọn méjèèjì sì dá májẹ̀mú.So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.

28Abrahamu sì ya abo ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn méje nínú agbo àgùntàn rẹ̀ sọ́tọ̀.Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,

29Abimeleki sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Abrahamu pé, “Kín ni ìtumọ̀ yíyà tí ìwọ ya àwọn ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn méje wọ̀nyí sọ́tọ̀ sí.”and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”

30Ó dalóhùn pé, “Gba àwọn abo ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn méje wọ̀nyí lọ́wọ́ mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀rí pé èmi ni mo gbẹ́ kànga yìí.”He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”

31Nítorí náà ni a ṣe ń pe ibẹ̀ náà ni Beerṣeba nítorí níbẹ̀ ni àwọn méjèèjì gbé búra.So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.

32Lẹ́yìn májẹ̀mú tí wọ́n dá ní Beerṣeba yìí, ni Abimeleki àti Fikoli olórí ogun rẹ̀ padà sí ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Filistini.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.

33Abrahamu lọ́ igi tamariski kan sí Beerṣeba, níbẹ̀ ni ó sì pe orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run ayérayé.And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.

34Abrahamu sì gbé ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Filistini fún ọjọ́ pípẹ́.And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
