Mui 16
1 A: ibala: me idua Selai da ema mano hame lai. E da aligime esalu. Be Idibidi hawa: hamosu a: fini ea dio amo Ha: iga da Selai ea fidisu esalu.
Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar.
2 Amaiba: le Selai da A: bala: mema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da hamobeba: le, na da mano lamu hamedei. Di amola na hawa: hamosu a: fini gilisili golama. Amo hou hamobeba: le, na da mano lamu.” A: ibala: me da Selai ea sia: da defea dawa: i.
[So one day] Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So (sleep with/have sex with) [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said.
3 Amaiba: le, A:ibala: me da Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini ode 10 esalu, Selai da ea Idibidi hawa: hamosu a: fini amo Ha: iga amo A: ibala: me ema doaga: ma: ne, ema i dagoi.
So Abram (slept with/had sex with) Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan [land]. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife.
4 E da Ha: iga amola gilisili golale, Ha: iga da mano lale abula agui ba: i. Ha: iga da ea abula agui dawa: beba: le, hidale ea hina Selai amo higale ba: i.
He (slept with/had sex with) [EUP] Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress Sarai.
5 Amalalu, Selai da A: ibala: mema amane sia: i, “Di fawane da wadela: le hamobeba: le, na da se naba. Na da na hawa: hamosu a: fini dima i dagoi. Amola wali e da abula agui amo dawa: beba: le, nama higasa. Hina Gode Hifawane da sia: mu. Na hou da defeala: o dia hou da defeala: ? Na hihi gala mabu.”
Then Sarai said to Abram, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to me!”
6 A: ibala: me da bu adole i, “Defea! Dia hawa: hamosu a: fini da dia lobo ganodini gagui. Dia hanaiga ema hamoma.” Amalalu, Selai da Ha: igama se iasu. Ha: iga da se nababeba: le, hobea: i.
So Abram said to Sarai, “[You listen to me]! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai.
7 Hobeale, e da gu hano amo logo gadenene galu doaga: i. Amoga, a:igele dunu da ema misi.
An angel of Yahweh found her as she was near a spring of water in the desert. It was the spring that was alongside the road to Shur.
8 E da Ha: igama amane sia: i, “Ha: iga! Selai ea hawa: hamosu a: fini! Di da habidili misibala: ? Amola habidili masa: bela: ?” Ha: iga da bu adole i, “Na da na ouligisu Selai amo yolesimusa: hobealala.”
He said to her, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I have run away from Sarai, my mistress.”
9 Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da Ha: igama amane sia: i, “Dia hinama buhagili, ea sia: noga: le nabima!”
The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
10 E eno amane sia: i, “Na da dia mano fi bagadedafa hamomu. Amaiba: le, ilia idimu defei da hamedei agoane ba: mu.”
The angel also said to her, “I will enable you to bear so many descendants that no one will be able to count them!”
11 Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da eno ema amane sia: i, “Dia hagomo ganodini da mano esala. Di da dunu mano lalelegemu. Hina Gode da dia se nabasu nababeba: le, di da ema Isiama: ile dio asulima.
The angel also said to her, “[Listen to this!] You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, [which means ‘God hears]’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.
12 E da nimi dougi defele ba: mu. E da dunu huluane ilima ha lai ba: mu. Amola dunu huluane da ema ha lai ba: mu. E da eaeya huluane ilima ha laiwane ba: mu.”
But your son will be as uncontrollable as a wild donkey [MET]. He will oppose everyone, and everyone will oppose him [MTY]. He will live far away from his relatives [SYN].”
13 Ha: iga da Hina Godema eno dio asuli. E amane sia: i, “Di da ‘Gode na Ba: lala’. Na da wali ‘Gode na Ba: lala’, amo ba: i dagoi.”
Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “(It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?)” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’.
14 Amaiba: le, hano nasu amo da Ga: idisie amola Bilede dogoa diala-amoma ilia dio sia: sa amo. “Esalebe Hina Gode E da na ba: lala amo Ea Hano.”
That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, [which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’!] It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Amalalu, Ha: iga da A: ibala: mema dunu mano lalelegei. A: ibala: me da amo mano e lai ema Isiama: ile dio asuli.
So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
16 Ha: iga da A: ibala: mema mano i, amo esoga A: ibala: me ea lalelegele ode esalu defei da 86 galu.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
