1 N a 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.

Then the Lord took note of Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had promised.

2 N a 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.

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

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

Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.

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

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

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

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

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

Sarah said, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

7 A 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.

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

8 N a 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.

The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. Sarah Turns against Hagar

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.

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

10 N a 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.

Therefore she said to Abraham, “ Drive out this maid and her son, for the son of this maid shall not be an heir with my son Isaac.”

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

The matter distressed Abraham greatly because of his son.

12 K a 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.

But God said to Abraham, “ Do not be distressed because of the lad and your maid; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for through Isaac your descendants shall be named.

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

And of the son of the maid I will make a nation also, because he is your descendant.”

14 N a 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.

So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder, and gave her the boy, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered about in the wilderness of Beersheba.

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

When the water in the skin was used up, she left the boy under one of the bushes.

16 N a 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.

Then she went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away, for she said, “Do not let me see the boy die.” And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice and wept.

17 A 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.

God heard the lad crying; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter with you, Hagar? Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

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

Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him by the hand, for I will make a great nation of him.”

19 N a 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.

Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the skin with water and gave the lad a drink.

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

God was with the lad, and he grew; and he lived in the wilderness and became an archer.

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

He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt. Covenant with Abimelech

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:

Now it came about at that time that Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, “ God is with you in all that you do;

23 T ena 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.

now therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but according to the kindness that I have shown to you, you shall show to me and to the land in which you have sojourned.”

24 N a ka mea a Aperahama, Ka oati ahau.

Abraham said, “I swear it.”

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

But Abraham complained to Abimelech because of the well of water which the servants of Abimelech had seized.

26 N a 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.

And Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor did I hear of it until today.”

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

Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.

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

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

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

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

30 K a 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.

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

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

Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath.

32 H eoi 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.

So they made a covenant at Beersheba; and Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, arose and returned to the land of the Philistines.

33 N a 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.

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God.

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

And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.
