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

¹Huan, Toupan a gensa bangin Sara a veha, Toupan a gensa bangin Sara tungah leng a hihsaka.

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

²Huchiin, Sara a gaia, Pathianin a kianga agen hun seh takin Abraham a tek nungin tapa a neihsakta hi.

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

³Huan, Abrahamin, a tapa neih, Sarain a neihsak, amin dingin Isaak a saa.

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

⁴Huan, Abrahamin, Pathianin a kianga thu a piak bangin a tapa Isaak ni giat a chinin a zek a sumsaka.

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

⁵Abraham a tapa Isaak a neih laiin kum ja a upa ahi.

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

⁶Huan, Sarain, Pathianin honnuisakta; a ja mi chihon honnuihpih ding uh, achia.

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

⁷Huan, amah mahin, Sarain naungekte a honpom ding chih, kuan ahia Abraham kianga genna dan thei ding? a tek nungin tapa ka neihsakta achia.

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

⁸Huan, naungek a hongkhangliana, a nawinek a tawpsakta ua: huan, Isaak a nawinek a tawpsak ni uh Abrahamin ankuang thupi a luita hi.

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

⁹Huan, Aiguptami Hagar tapa, Abraham a dinga a neihpan, a nuihsan lai Sarain a mua.

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.”

¹⁰Huaijiakin Abraham kiangah, hiai sikhanu leh a tapa delhkhia in: hiai sikhanu tapa ka tapa Isaak gouluah pih ding ahi theikei ding, achia.

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

¹¹Huan, hiai thu a tapa jiakin Abraham ngaihin thil hoihlou tak ahi.

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.

¹²Himahleh Pathianin Abraham kiangah, Naupang tungtang thu leh na sikhanu tungtang thu na ngaihin thil hoihlou tak hi kei hen; Sarain na kianga thu a gen tengteng juiin; Isaak ah na suante a chi ding uh la ahi ngala.

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

¹³Huan, sikhanu tapa ah leng, na suan a hih jiakin, chi chih tham ngial ka honbawl ding, achia.

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.

¹⁴Huchiin, Abraham bel takin a thoua, tanghou leh tuithawl tui a dim a laa, Hagar kiangah a piaa, a liangkolou ah a suansaka, naupang mah leng, a paisak taa; huchiin a paia, Beer-seba gamdai ah a vak a vakta hi.

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

¹⁵Huan, tuithawl a tui a hong omta keia, huchiin naupang loubuk munkhat ah a koihta mai hi.

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.

¹⁶Huan, Naupang si ding ka en ngam kei, a chih jiakin a paia, gamla kuamah, thal kap phakna ding bangah, a majawn ah a vatuta khong khonga. Huchiin, a majawn ah a tua, ngaihtakin a kapta hi.

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.

¹⁷Huan, Pathianin naupang aw a jaa; huan, Pathian angelin van akipanin Hagar a sama, a kiangah, Bang na chia ahia Hagar? Lau ken: na omna naupang aw Pathianin a ja hi.

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

¹⁸Thou inla, huai naupang phong inla, na khutin lenin, amah chi thupi taka bawl ding ka hi, achia.

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

¹⁹Huan, Pathianin a mit a hihvak saka, tuileh a muta hi; huchiin a vapaia, tuithawl ah tui a dim dima, naupang a dawnsakta hi.

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

²⁰Huan, naupang kiangah Pathian a om jela, a hong khanglian jela; gamdai ah a om tou jela, thalkap siam a honghita.

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

²¹Paran gamdai ah a oma; huan, anun Aigupta gam akipanin ji a guan hi.

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.

²²Huan, hichi ahia, huailai khawngin Abimelek leh a sepaih pawl heutu Phikolin Abraham kiangah, na thil hih peuh Pathian na kiangah om jeljela:

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.”

²³Huchiin tuin hiailaiah Pathian min lou inla, kei leh ka tapa leh ka tapa tapa leng khem louin, ka honna hehpih khittaksa bangin kei leh na omna gam hehpih thuk sam dingin ka kiangah kichiam ve leh! chiin a gena.

²⁴Abraham said, “I will swear.”

²⁴Huan Abrahamin, Ka kichiam ding, achia.

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

²⁵Huan, Abimelek sikhaten tuileh a suh jiak un Abrahamin Abimelek a sala.

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

²⁶Huan, Abimelekin, hiai thil hihpen kua ahia, ka thei himhim kei: nang lah non hilh ngal keia, tuni ngallouin ka za nai himhim kei, achia.

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

²⁷Huchiin, Abrahamin belamte leh bawngtalte a pia, Abimelek kiangah a piaa; huan, a nih un thu a khungta uhi.

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

²⁸Huan, Abrahamin a belam hon laka belamnou a nu sagih a koih tuama.

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

²⁹Huchiin, Abimelekin, Abraham kiangah, Belamnou a nu sagih a tuama na koih bang achia ahia? achia.

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.”

³⁰Huan, aman, Hiai tuileh kei leh ahi chih na hontheihpihna dingin hiai belamnou a nu sagih ka khut akipan na lak ding ahi, achia.

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

³¹Huaijiakin huailai mun Beer-seba ahia; huailaia a nih ua kichiam jiak un.

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.

³²Huchiin, Beer-seba ah thu a khungta uh; huan, Abimelek a thoua, a sepaih pawl heutu Philok toh, Philistinte gamah a pai nawnta uh.

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

³³Huan, Abrahamin, Beer-seba ah meilah sing a suana, huaiah Toupa khantawn Pathian min a loua.Huchiin, Abraham Philistinte gamah sawtpi a om.

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

³⁴Huchiin, Abraham Philistinte gamah sawtpi a om.
