1Pea naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻe Sihova kia Sela ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola, pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova kia Sela ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola.
1Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
2He naʻe tuituʻia ʻa Sela ʻo ne fanauʻi kia ʻEpalahame ʻae tama ʻi heʻene motuʻa, ʻio, ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻae ʻOtua.
2So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
3Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae hingoa ʻo hono foha naʻe fānau kiate ia, ʻaia naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe Sela kiate ia, ko ʻAisake.
3And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
4Pea naʻe kamu ʻe ʻEpalahame hono foha ko ʻAisake ʻi hono ʻaho valu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia,
4When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
5Pea naʻe teau taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAisake kiate ia.
5Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sela, “Kuo fakakata au ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻe kata mo au ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻe fanongo ai.”
6Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
7Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai ia naʻe teitei pehē kia ʻEpalahame, ʻe fakahuhu ʻe Sela ha fānau? He kuo u fāʻeleʻi ha tama kiate ia ʻi heʻene motuʻa.”
7She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8Pea naʻe tupu ʻae tama, pea māvae ia, pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae kātoanga lahi ʻi he ʻaho naʻe māvae ai ʻa ʻAisake.
8So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
9¶ Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Sela ki he tama ʻa Hekaʻā ko e fefine ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia ʻEpalahame, ʻoku manuki.
9But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
10Ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai kia ʻEpalahame, “Kapusi ʻae fefine pōpula ni mo ʻene tama: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai fakataha ʻae tama ʻae fefine pōpula ni, mo ʻeku tama ko ʻAisake.”
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!”
11Pea ko e meʻa fakamamahi lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻEpalahame, koeʻuhi ko hono foha.
11Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
12¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame, “ʻOua naʻa ke mamahi koeʻuhi ko e tama, pe koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fefine kaunanga ka ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sela ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ne lea ai kiate koe koeʻuhi ʻe ui ia ʻAisake pe ʻa ho hako.
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.
13Pea te u fakatupu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he tama ʻae fefine kaunanga, koeʻuhi ko ho hako ia.”
13But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
14Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo ne ʻomi ʻae mā mo e hina vai, ʻo ne ʻatu kia Hekaʻā, pea ne ai ia ki hono uma pea mo e tama, ʻo ne fekau ia ke ʻalu; pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo he fano pe ʻi he toafa ʻo Peasipa.
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.
15Pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻae vai ʻi he hina, naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae tama ʻi he lolo ʻakau ʻe taha.
15When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
16Ka ka ʻalu ia ʻo nofo fakahangatonu mai mei he mamaʻo ʻo tatau nai mo e touʻanga ngahau kuo fana; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia; “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻaku mamata ki he pekia ʻae tama, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻo hangatonu kiate ia, pea hiki hake ʻe ia hono leʻo ʻo tangi.”
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.
17Pea ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻoe tamasiʻi; pea lea mai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua kia Hekaʻā mei he langi ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamahi ai Hekaʻā? ʻOua te ke manavahē: he kuo ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻoe tamasiʻi mei he potu na.
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.
18Tuʻu, pea hiki hake ʻae tamasiʻi pea fafa ia ho nima: he te u ngaohi ia ko e puleʻanga lahi.”
18Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
19Pea naʻe fakaʻā ʻe he ʻOtua hono mata, pea naʻe mamata ia ki he matavai: pea ʻalu ia ʻo fakafonu ʻae hina ʻaki ʻae vai, pea ne fakainu ʻae tamasiʻi.
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.
20Pea naʻe kau ʻae ʻOtua ki he tamasiʻi pea tupu ia, pea ne nofo ʻi he toafa, pea hoko ia ko e tangata fana.
20And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
21Pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he toafa ʻo Palani: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻene faʻē, ʻae uaifi kiate ia mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
21And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22¶ Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻe lea kia ʻEpalahame ʻa ʻApimeleki, mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki lahi ia ʻo ʻene kautau, ʻo pehē: “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai;
22At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
23Pea ko eni, ke ke fuakava kiate au ʻi he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ke fai kākā kiate au, pe ki hoku foha, pe ki he foha ʻo hoku foha, ka ke fai kiate au, mo e fonua, ʻaia kuo ke nofo ʻāunofo ki ai, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻofa kiate koe.”
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.”
24Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Te u fuakava.”
24And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
25Pea naʻe valoki ʻe ʻEpalahame kia ʻApimeleki, koeʻuhi ko e vai keli naʻe faʻao fakamālohi ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻApimeleki.
25But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
26Pea pehēange ʻe ʻApimeleki, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hai kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tala mai ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fanongo ki ai, ka ko e ʻaho ni pe.”
26Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”
27Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, ʻo ne foaki ia kia ʻApimeleki; pea naʻe fai ʻekinaua ʻae fuakava;
27So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
28Pea naʻe vaheʻi mo tuku kehe ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae lami fefine ʻe fitu.
28Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
29Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻEpalahame; “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe lami fefine ʻe fitu kuo ke vaheʻi mo tuku kehe?”
29and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
30Pea ne pehē, “Ke ke toʻo ia ʻo ʻave mei hoku nima, ʻae lami fefine ʻe fitu ko ia, koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻoni ia kiate au, naʻaku keli ʻae vai.
30He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
31Ko ia naʻa ne ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Peasipa: koeʻuhi naʻa na fefuakava ʻi ai;
31So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
32Naʻe pehē ʻena fai ʻae fuakava ʻi Peasipa: pea tuʻu hake ʻa ʻApimeleki mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki lahi ʻo ʻene kautau, pea na toe ō ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
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.
33¶ Pea naʻe tō ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻi Peasipa, pea naʻe ui ai ia ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻOtua taʻengata;
33And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
34Pea naʻe ʻāunofo ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.
34And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
