Genesis 21
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Sarah khaeah caeh moe, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng mah Sarah khaeah sak pae.
1Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
2Abraham mitong naah Sarah zokpomh moe, Sithaw mah khaeh ih atue phak naah, Abraham han capa maeto a sak pae.
2So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
3Sarah mah sak pae ih capa to Abraham mah, Issak, tiah ahmin phui.
3And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
4Sithaw mah anih khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, ni tazetto akoep naah, Abraham mah a capa Issak ih tangyat hin to aah pae.
4When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
5Abraham loe a capa Issak tapen naah saning cumvaito oh boeh.
5Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6Sarah mah, Sithaw mah kai ang pahnuisak boeh, hae lok thaih kaminawk boih, kai hoi nawnto pahnui o tih, tiah thuih.
6Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
7To pacoengah, Mi mah maw Abraham khaeah, Sarah mah a caa tahnutui panae tih, tiah thui thai tih? Toe mitong lam ah anih han capa maeto ka sak pae, tiah a thuih.
7She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8Nawkta loe qoeng tahang moe, tahnutui amphi boeh; tahnutui toengh na niah Abraham mah kalen parai uumhaih poih to sak pae.
8So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
9Toe Abraham han capa maeto kasah pae, Izip nongpata Hagar mah pahnui thuih, tito Sarah mah panoek.
9But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
10To pongah anih mah Abraham khaeah, Na tamna nongpata hoi a capa hae haek lai ah; tamna nongpata ih capa loe natuek naah doeh ka capa Issak hoi nawnto qawktoep thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
10and 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!”
11Abraham loe a capa ah oh pongah, haek ving to anih han karai parai hmuen ah oh.
11Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
12Toe Sithaw mah, Nawkta hoi na tamna nongpata pongah palungsae hmah; Sarah mah thuih ih lok to tahngai ah; nang ih atii loe Issak khae hoi ni tacawt tih, tiah a naa.
12But 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.
13Na tamna nongpata ih capa doeh, na caa ah oh pongah, anih doeh acaeng maeto ah ka sak han, tiah a naa.
13But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
14Khawnbang khawnthaw ah, Abraham mah takaw hoi moihin tui tabu to lak moe, Hagar to paek; anih ih palaeng ah koeng pae moe, nawkta hoi anih to nawnto haek ving; Hagar loe caeh poe moe, Beersheba praezaek ah amhet khing.
14Early 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.
15Moihin tui tabu pong ih tui to boeng naah loe, kabuk thing tlim ah nawkta to pasongh.
15When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
16To pacoengah kadueh nawkta to hnuk han ka koeh ai, tiah a thuih pongah caeh moe, nawkta hoi kangthla kue pala kahhaih setto kangthla ahmuen maeto ah anghnut pacoengah, tha hoi a qah.
16Then 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.
17Nawkta qahhaih lok to Sithaw mah thaih naah, Sithaw ih van kami mah Hagar to van hoiah kawk, anih khaeah, Hagar, tih raihaih maw na tongh? Zii hmah, Sithaw mah angsonghaih ahmuen hoi kaqah nawkta ih lok to thaih boeh.
17Then 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.
18Angthawk ah, nawkta to pathawk ah loe, na ban ah tapom ah; anih loe kalen parai acaeng ah ka sak han, tiah a naa.
18Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
19Sithaw mah Hagar ih mik to amtuengsak naah, anih mah tuipuek maeto hnuk; a caeh moe, moihin tui tabu koi mongah tui to dok pacoengah, nawkta to tui naeksak.
19Then 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.
20Nawkta loe qoeng tahang, anih loe Sithaw mah oh thuih; praezaek ah khosak moe, kalii kaat kop kami ah angcoeng.
20And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
21Paran praezaek ah oh naah, amno mah anih hanah Izip tanuh to zu ah lak pae.
21And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22Abimelek hoi angmah ih misatuh angraeng Phikol mah Abraham khaeah, Na sak ih hmuen boih ah Sithaw mah ang oh thuih.
22At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
23To pongah ka caa nuiah, to tih ai boeh loe ka caa ih caa patoeng nuiah, amsoem ai hmuen to ayae moe, angvin ah na ohhaih prae thungah kai mah kang tahmen baktih toengah, ka nuiah doeh tahmenhaih nam tuengsak toeng hanah; vaihi kai hanah Sithaw ih ahmin hoi lokkamhaih to sah ah, tiah a naa.
23Now, 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.”
24Abraham mah, Lokkamhaih ka sak han hmang, tiah a naa.
24And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
25To naah Abraham mah Abimelek khaeah, Na tamnanawk mah kai ih tuikhaw ang lomh pae o ving, tiah a naa.
25But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
26Toe Abimelek mah, Kai khaeah nang thui ai pongah, mi mah maw to tiah sak, tito ka panoek ai, vaihni ah ni ka thaih vop, tiah a naa.
26Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”
27Abraham mah tuu hoi maitawnawk to lak moe, Abimelek hanah paek; to pacoengah nihnik mah lokmaihaih to sak hoi.
27So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
28Abraham mah tuu khongkha thung ih tuu tala sarihto lak.
28Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
29To naah Abimelek mah Abraham khaeah, Tipongah tuu tala sarihto na pahoe loe? tiah a naa.
29and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
30Anih mah, Tuikhaw loe kaimah ni takaeh, tiah hnukung ah oh hanah hae tuu tala sarihto hae, ka ban thung hoi la ah, tiah a naa.
30He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
31Lokmaihaih a sak hoi pongah, to ahmuen to Beersheba, tiah kawk o.
31So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
32Abimelek hoi angmah ih misatuh angraeng Phikol loe, Beersheba ah misa angdaehhaih sak pacoengah, Philistin prae ah amlaem hoi let.
32After 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.
33Abraham mah Beersheba ah thingkung maeto tling moe, to ahmuen hoiah dungzan Angraeng, Sithaw ih ahmin to palawk.
33And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
34Abraham loe Philistin prae thungah saning kasawk ah khosak.
34And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
