Genesis 16

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

And Sarai, Abram's wife, hath not borne to him, and she hath an handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name [is] 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 saith unto Abram, 'Lo, I pray thee, Jehovah hath restrained me from bearing, go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; perhaps I am built up from her;' and Abram hearkeneth 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, taketh Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, at the end of the tenth year of Abram's dwelling in the land of Canaan, and giveth her to Abram her husband, to him for a 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 goeth in unto Hagar, and she conceiveth, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and her mistress is lightly esteemed 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 saith unto Abram, 'My violence [is] for thee; I — I have given mine handmaid into thy bosom, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and I am lightly esteemed in her eyes; Jehovah doth 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.

And Abram saith unto Sarai, 'Lo, thine handmaid [is] in thine hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes;' and Sarai afflicted her, and she fleeth from her presence.

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

And a messenger of Jehovah findeth her by the 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 saith, 'Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, whence hast thou come, and whither dost thou go?' and she saith, 'From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.'

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 messenger of Jehovah saith to her, 'Turn back unto thy mistress, and humble 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 messenger of Jehovah saith to her, 'Multiplying I multiply thy seed, and it is not numbered from 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 messenger of Jehovah saith to her, 'Behold thou [art] conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine 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 is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and every one's hand against him — and before the face of all his brethren he dwelleth.'

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 calleth the name of Jehovah who is speaking unto her, 'Thou [art], O God, my beholder;' for she said, 'Even here have I looked behind my beholder?'

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

therefore hath one called the well, 'The well of the Living One, my beholder;' lo, 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 beareth to Abram a son; and Abram calleth the name of his son, whom Hagar hath borne, Ishmael;

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

and Abram [is] a son of eighty and six years in Hagar's bearing Ishmael to Abram.
