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.2 Na 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.3 Na ka huaina e Aperahama te ingoa o tana tama i whanau nei mana, i whanau mai nei i a Hara, ko Ihaka.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.5 A kotahi rua nga tau o Aperahama i te whanautanga o tana tama, o Ihaka.6 Na ka mea a Hara, Kua meinga ahau e te Atua kia kata; a ka kata tahi matou ko nga tangata e rongo mai ana.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.8 Na 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.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.10 Na 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.11 A ko taua mea he he rawa ki te titiro a Aperahama, ko tana tama hoki ia.12 Ka 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.13 Na, ko te tama a te pononga wahine, ka meinga ia e ahau hei iwi, no te mea he uri ia nou.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.15 A kau pau te wai i roto i te taha, na whakarerea iho e ia te tamaiti i raro i tetahi rakau iti.16 Na 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.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.18 Whakatika, hapainga ake te tamaiti, puritia hoki ki tou ringa; no te mea ka meinga ia e ahau hei iwi nui.19 Na 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.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.21 Na ka noho ia ki te koraha o Parana: a ka tikina atu e tona whaea he wahine mana i te whenua o Ihipa.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:23 Tena 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.24 Na ka mea a Aperahama, Ka oati ahau.25 Na ka whakawa a Aperahama i a Apimereke mo tetahi puna wai i murua e nga tangata a Apimereke.26 Na 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.27 Na ka tikina e Aperahama he hipi, he kau, ka hoatu ki a Apimereke; na ka whakarite kawenata raua.28 Na ka wehea e Aperahama ki tahaki e whitu nga reme uha o nga hipi.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?30 Ka 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.31 Na reira i huaina ai e ia taua wahi ko Peerehepa; no raua hoki oati ki reira.32 Heoi 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.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.34 A ka noho a Aperahama ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini mo nga ra maha.

1 And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;2 and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;3 and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him -- Isaac;4 and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.5 And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,6 and Sarah saith, `God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.`7 She saith also, `Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?`8 And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac`s being weaned;9 and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,10 and she saith to Abraham, `Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son -- with Isaac.`11 And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son`s sake;12 and God saith unto Abraham, `Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee -- hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.13 As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.`14 And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;15 and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.16 And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, `Let me not look on the death of the lad;` and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.17 And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, `What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];18 rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.`19 And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;20 and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;21 and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.22 And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh -- Phichol also, head of his host -- unto Abraham, saying, `God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;23 and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.`24 And Abraham saith, `I -- I do swear.`25 And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech`s servants have taken violently away,26 and Abimelech saith, `I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.`27 And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;28 and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.29 And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, `What [are] they -- these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?`30 And he saith, `For -- the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;`31 therefore hath he called that place `Beer-Sheba,` for there have both of them sworn.32 And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth -- Phichol also, head of his host -- and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;33 and [Abraham] planteth a tamarask in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;34 and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
