Genesis 21:16
Kisha akaondoka, na akakaa umbali kidogo na yule kijana, umbali kama wa kutupa mshale, kwa vile alisema, “Na nisitazame kifo cha mtoto.” Alipokuwa amekaa kumkabili, akapaza sauti yake akalia.

Genesis 21:16 in other translations
And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
Then 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.
She 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 opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.

In context
13 Nitamfanya pia mtoto wa mjakazi kuwa taifa, kwa sababu ni uzao wako.”
14 Abraham akaamka asubuhi na mapema, akachukua mkate na kiriba cha maji, akampatia Hajiri, akiweka juu ya bega lake. Akamtoa kijana akampatia Hajiri na akawaondoa. Hajiri akaondoka akapotea katika jangwa la Beerisheba.
15 Maji yalipokwisha kwenye kiriba akamtelekeza kijana katika moja ya vichaka.
16 Kisha akaondoka, na akakaa umbali kidogo na yule kijana, umbali kama wa kutupa mshale, kwa vile alisema, “Na nisitazame kifo cha mtoto.” Alipokuwa amekaa kumkabili, akapaza sauti yake akalia.
17 Mungu akasikia kilio cha kijana, na malaika wa Mungu akamwita Hajiri kutoka mbinguni, akamwambia, “Nini kinakusumbua? Usiogope, kwa kuwa Mungu amesikia kilio cha kijana mahali alipo.
18 Inuka msimamishe mtoto, na umtie moyo; kwa kuwa nitamfanya kuwa taifa kubwa.”
19 Kisha Mungu akayafunua macho ya Hajiri, natazama akaona kisima cha maji. Akaenda akajaza kiriba maji, na akampatia kijana akanywa.
