¹¶ Na ka tirohia mai a Hara e Ihowa, ka peratia me tana i korero ai, a rite tonu ki tana kupu ta Ihowa i mea ai ki a Hara.

¹Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken.

²Na ka hapu a Hara, a ka whanau he tama ma Aperahama i tona koroheketanga i te wa ano i whakaritea e te Atua ki a ia.

²Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

³Na ka huaina e Aperahama te ingoa o tana tama i whanau nei mana, i whanau mai nei i a Hara, ko Ihaka.

³Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. Isaac means “He laughs.”

⁴A, ka waru ona ra, ka kotia e Aperahama a Ihaka, tana tama, ka peratia me ta te Atua i whakahau ai ki a ia.

⁴Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

⁵A kotahi rua nga tau o Aperahama i te whanautanga o tana tama, o Ihaka.

⁵Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.

⁶Na ka mea a Hara, Kua meinga ahau e te Atua kia kata; a ka kata tahi matou ko nga tangata e rongo mai ana.

⁶Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

⁷A i mea ano ia, Ko wai o mua hei mea ki a Aperahama, tera e whakangote tamariki a Hara? kua whanau nei i ahau he tama mana, i a ia kua koroheketia.

⁷She said, “Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”

⁸Na ka tupu te tamaiti ra, a ka whakamutua tana kai u: na ka tukua e Aperahama tetahi hakari nui i te ra i whakamutua ai te ngote u a Ihaka.

⁸The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

⁹¶ A ka kite a Hara i te tama a Hakara, a te wahine o Ihipa, i whanau nei i a raua ko Aperahama, e kata whakahawea ana.

⁹Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

¹⁰Na ka mea ia ki a Aperahama, Peia atu tenei pononga me tana tama: e kore rawa te tama a tenei wahine pononga e tu tahi me taku tama, me Ihaka, i nga whakarerenga iho.

¹⁰Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this handmaid and her son! For the son of this handmaid will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”

¹¹A ko taua mea he he rawa ki te titiro a Aperahama, ko tana tama hoki ia.

¹¹The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.

¹²Ka mea te Atua ki a Aperahama, Kei kino tena ki tau titiro, kaua e whakaaro ki te tamaiti raua ko tau pononga wahine; engari i nga mea katoa i korero ai a Hara ki a koe, whakarongo atu ki tona reo; kei a Ihaka hoki te karangatanga mo tou uri.

¹²God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your handmaid. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For from Isaac will your seed be called.

¹³Na, ko te tama a te pononga wahine, ka meinga ia e ahau hei iwi, no te mea he uri ia nou.

¹³I will also make a nation of the son of the handmaid, because he is your seed.”

¹⁴¶ Na ka maranga wawe a Aperahama i te ata, ka mau ki tetahi taro, ki tetahi taha wai, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Hakara, whakawaha ana ki tona pokohiwi, me te tamaiti hoki, a tonoa atu ana: na ka haere ia, ka kopikopiko i te koraha o Peerehepa.

¹⁴Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

¹⁵A kau pau te wai i roto i te taha, na whakarerea iho e ia te tamaiti i raro i tetahi rakau iti.

¹⁵The water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

¹⁶Na ka haere ia, a ka noho mai i tawhiti, me te anga nui mai ano ki a ia, he pera te matara me te taunga pere: i mea hoki ia, Kei kite ahau i te matenga o te tamaiti. Na ka noho ia me te aronui mai ki a ia, a ka puaki tona reo, ka tangi.

¹⁶She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.

¹⁷A i rongo te Atua ki te reo o te tamaiti: a ka karanga mai te anahera a te Atua ki a Hakara i runga i te rangi, ka mea ki a ia, He aha kei a koe, e Hakara? kaua e wehi; kua rongo hoki te Atua ki te reo o te tamaiti i a ia e takoto na.

¹⁷God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

¹⁸Whakatika, hapainga ake te tamaiti, puritia hoki ki tou ringa; no te mea ka meinga ia e ahau hei iwi nui.

¹⁸Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”

¹⁹Na ka whakatirohia e te Atua ona kanohi, a ka kite ia i tetahi puna wai: na ka haere ia, ka whakaki i te taha ki te wai, a whakainumia ana te tamaiti.

¹⁹God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink.

²⁰A i noho te Atua ki te tamaiti, a ka tupu ia; i noho ia i te koraha, a ka mohio ki te kopere.

²⁰God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.

²¹Na ka noho ia ki te koraha o Parana: a ka tikina atu e tona whaea he wahine mana i te whenua o Ihipa.

²¹He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

²²¶ A i taua wa ano ka korero a Apimereke raua ko Pikora, ko te rangatira o tana ope, ki a Aperahama, ka mea, Na kei a koe te Atua i nga mea katoa e mea ai koe:

²²It happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.

²³Tena oatitia mai te Atua ki ahau, e kore koe e teka ki ahau, ki taku tama, ki te tama ranei a taku tama; engari ka rite ki te aroha i whakaputaina e ahau ki a koe tau mahi ki ahau, ki te whenua ano hoki i noho nei koe.

²³Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”

²⁴Na ka mea a Aperahama, Ka oati ahau.

²⁴Abraham said, “I will swear.”

²⁵Na ka whakawa a Aperahama i a Apimereke mo tetahi puna wai i murua e nga tangata a Apimereke.

²⁵Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

²⁶Na ka mea a Apimereke, Kahore ahau e mohio na wai ranei tenei mahi: kihai hoki koe i korero mai ki ahau, a kihai ahau i rongo, no tenei ra tonu.

²⁶Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today.”

²⁷Na ka tikina e Aperahama he hipi, he kau, ka hoatu ki a Apimereke; na ka whakarite kawenata raua.

²⁷Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.

²⁸Na ka wehea e Aperahama ki tahaki e whitu nga reme uha o nga hipi.

²⁸Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

²⁹A ka mea a Apimereke ki a Aperahama, He aha te tikanga o enei reme uha e whitu i wehea nei e koe ki tahaki?

²⁹Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?”

³⁰Ka mea ia, Ko enei reme uha e whitu me tango e koe i toku ringa, kia ai enei mea hei whakaatu maku, naku i keri tenei poka.

³⁰He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”

³¹Na reira i huaina ai e ia taua wahi ko Peerehepa; no raua hoki oati ki reira.

³¹Therefore he called that place Beersheba, Beersheba can mean “well of the oath” or “well of seven.” because they both swore there.

³²Heoi whakaritea ana e raua te kawenata i Peerehepa: a ka whakatika a Apimereke raua ko Pikora, ko te rangatira o tana ope, a hoki ana ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini.

³²So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

³³¶ Na ka whakatokia e Aperahama he rakau, he tamarihi, ki Peerehepa, a ka karanga i reira ki te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua ora tonu.

³³Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

³⁴A ka noho a Aperahama ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini mo nga ra maha.

³⁴Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
