Genesis 16
1 Tsono Sarai, mkazi wa Abramu anali asanamuberekere ana Abramuyo. Koma anali ndi wantchito wamkazi wa ku Igupto dzina lake Hagara;
Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name [was] Hagar.
2 ndipo Sarai anati kwa Abramu, “Yehova sanalole kuti ine ndikhale ndi ana. Bwanji mulowe mwa wantchito wanga wamkaziyu kuti mwina ndingaone ana kudzera mwa iyeyu.” Abramu anamvera Sarai.
And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3 Tsono Sarai anatenga Hagara wantchito wake wamkazi wa ku Igupto uja namupereka kwa Abramu mwamuna wake kuti akhale mkazi wake. Izi zinachitika Abramu atakhala ku Kanaani zaka khumi.
And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4 Abramu atalowana ndi Hagara, Hagara uja anatenga mimba. Pamene Hagara anadziwa kuti anali woyembekezera anayamba kunyoza mbuye wake Sarai.
And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5 Pamenepo Sarai anati kwa Abramu, “Inu ndinu amene mwandiputira nkhanza zikundichitikirazi. Ndinakupatsani wantchito wanga wamkazi kuti akhale mkazi wanu, ndiye tsopano wayamba kundinyoza ine chifukwa wadziwa kuti ndi woyembekezera. Yehova ndiye amene aweruze pakati pa inu ndi ine.”
And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong [be] upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
6 Abramu anati, “Wantchito wakoyu ali mʼmanja mwako. Chita naye chilichonse chimene ukuganiza kuti ndi chokukomera.” Tsono Sarai anazunza Hagara mpaka anathawa.
But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid [is] in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
7 Mngelo wa Yehova anamupeza Hagara pafupi ndi chitsime mʼchipululu. Chinali chitsime chimene chili mʼmphepete mwa msewu wopita ku Suri.
And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
8 Ndipo mngeloyo anati, “Hagara, iwe wantchito wa Sarai, ukuchokera kuti ndipo ukupita kuti?” Iye anayankha, “Ndikuthawa mbuye wanga Sarai.”
And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 Mngelo wa Yehova anamuwuza kuti, “Bwerera kwa mbuye wako ndipo ukamugonjere.
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 Ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri zoti munthu sangaziwerenge.”
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 Mngelo wa Yehova uja anamuwuzanso kuti, “Ndiwe woyembekezera ndipo udzabala mwana wamwamuna. Udzamutcha dzina lake Ismaeli, pakuti Yehova wamva kulira chifukwa cha kuzunzika kwako.
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 Iye adzakhala munthu wa khalidwe ngati mʼmbulu wamisala; adzadana ndi aliyense ndipo anthu onse adzadana naye, adzakhala mwaudani pakati pa abale ake onse.”
And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
13 Hagara anatcha Yehova amene anamuyankhula uja dzina loti: “Ndinu Mulungu amene mumandiona,” popeza anati, “Ndakumana ndi Yehova atatha kundikomera mtima.”
And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
14 Nʼchifukwa chake chitsime chija chimene chili pakati pa Kadesi ndi Beredi chinatchedwa Beeri-lahai-roi.
Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, [it is] between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Tsono Hagara anamuberekera Abramu mwana wamwamuna ndipo Abramu anamutcha mwanayo Ismaeli.
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16 Pamene Hagara anamubalira Ismaeli nʼkuti Abramuyo ali ndi zaka 86.
And Abram [was] fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
