Genesis 16

1 Abram zu, Sarai loe caa kaak; toe anih loe Izip tanuh, Hagar tiah ahmin kaom tamna maeto tawnh.

Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

2 To pongah Sarai mah Abram khaeah, Angraeng mah caa ang kaaksak boeh; caeh ah loe ka tamna nongpata khaeah iip ah, anih mah caa na sah pae khoe doeh om tih, tiah a naa. Abram mah Sarai ih lok to tahngaih pae.

And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing; go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

3 Abram loe Kanaan prae ah saning hato oh pacoengah, Sarai mah a tamna nongpata, Izip tanuh Hagar to lak moe, zu haih hanah sava khaeah paek.

And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.

4 Abram mah Hagar to iih haih, to naah nongpata to zokpomh; zokpom boeh, tiah Hagar mah panoek naah angmah angraeng ih zupui to hnap.

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 To naah Sarai mah Abram khaeah, Ka sakpazae ih hmuen loe na lu nuiah om nasoe; ka tamna nongpata to na saoek nuiah kang paek; anih mah zokpom boeh, tiah panoek naah, kai hae ang patoek; nang hoi kai salakah Angraeng mah lokcaek halat nasoe, tiah a naa.

And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I gave my handmaid 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 Toe Abram mah Sarai khaeah, Na tamna nongpata loe na ban ah ni oh; na koeh baktiah a nuiah sah khae, tiah a naa. Sarai mah Hagar to pacaekthlaek, to pongah Hagar loe anih khae hoi cawnh ving.

But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt hardly with her, and she fled from her face.

7 Angraeng ih van kami mah Hagar to praezaek tuipuek taeng, Shur vangpui caehhaih loklam taengah hnuk.

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 Anih mah, Sarai ih tamna nongpata, Hagar, naa hoiah maw nang zoh? Naa ah maw na caeh han? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Ka angraeng zupui Sarai khae hoiah ka cawnh ving, tiah a naa.

And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, whence camest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

9 To naah Angraeng ih van kami mah anih khaeah, Na angraeng zupui khaeah amlaem let loe, anih tlim ah khosah ah, tiah a naa.

And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

10 Van kami mah anih khaeah, Kroek laek ai khoek to na caanawk kang pungsak han, tiah a naa.

And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 Angraeng ih van kami mah anih khaeah, Khenah, nang loe zokpomh boeh, caa nongpa to na sah tih; na patanghaih Angraeng mah thaih pae boeh pongah, anih ih ahmin to Ishmael, tiah sah ah, tiah a naa.

And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

12 Anih loe poek ham kami ah om ueloe, kami boih hoi angtuh tih, kami boih mah anih to tuh tih; anih loe angmah ih nawkamyanawk taengah khosah tih, tiah a naa.

And he shall be [as] a wild-ass among men; his hand [shall be] against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

13 To naah Hagar mah, angmah khaeah lokthuikung Angraeng to, Nang loe kai hnukung Sithaw, tiah ahmin paek; anih mah, Vaihi kai Hnukung to ka hnuk boeh, tiah thuih.

And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou art a God that seeth: for she said, Have I even here looked after him that seeth me?

14 To pongah to ih tuipuek to, Beer Lahai Roi, tiah ahmin sak; khenah, to tuipuek loe Kadesh hoi Bered salakah oh.

Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Hagar mah Abram hanah capa maeto sak pae; Hagar mah sak pae ih capa to Abram mah Ishmael, tiah ahmin phui.

And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called the name of his son, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

16 Hagar mah Abram han Ishmael sak pae naah, Abram loe saning qui tazet, tarukto oh boeh.

And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
