Suencuek 16
1 Abram yuu Sarai loh anih ham ca cun pah pawh. Tedae amah taengah salnu, a ming ah Hagar, Egypt nu om.
Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had not conceived children. But, having an Egyptian handmaid named Hagar,
2 Te dongah Sarai loh Abram la, “Ca cun ham khaw BOEIPA loh kai n'khaih coeng he. Ka salnu taengla kun mai lamtah, anih lamloh ka thoh khaming,” a ti nah.
she said to her husband: “Behold, the Lord has closed me, lest I give birth. Enter to my handmaid, so that perhaps I may receive sons of her at least.” And when he agreed to her supplication,
3 Te dongah Sarai ol te Abram loh a ngai. Te dongah Kanaan kho ah Abram loh kho a sak te kum kumrha a thok vaengah Abram yuu Sarai loh a sal Egypt nu Hagar te a loh tih a va Abram taengah a yuu la a paek.
she took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, ten years after they began to live in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to her husband as a wife.
4 Te phoeiah Hagar te a kun thil hatah pahoi pumrhih. Tedae a pumrhih te a ming vaengah a mik neh a boeinu te hnaep.
And he entered to her. But when she saw that she had conceived, she despised her mistress.
5 Te dongah Sarai loh Abram taengah, “Kai sokah kuthlahnah te nang pum dongah tla saeh. Kai loh na rhang dongah ka salnu kam paek dae a pumrhih te a hmuh vaengah a mik neh n'hnaep he kai laklo neh nang laklo ah BOEIPA loh laitloek mai saeh,” a ti nah.
And Sarai said to Abram: “You have acted unfairly against me. I gave my handmaid into your bosom, who, when she saw that she had conceived, held me in contempt. May the Lord judge between me and you.”
6 Tedae Abram loh Sarai la, “Na salnu te namah kut ah om ne. Na mikhmuh ah then ti bangla anih te saii saw,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te Sarai loh a phaep tih anih khaw Sarai mikhmuh lamloh yong.
Abram responded to her by saying, “Behold, your handmaid is in your hand to treat as it pleases you.” And so, when Sarai afflicted her, she took flight.
7 Tedae Shur long taengkah tuiphuet kaep, khosoek tuiphuet tui taengah BOEIPA kah puencawn a hmuh.
And when the Angel of the Lord had found her, near the fountain of water in the wilderness, which is on the way to Shur in the desert,
8 Te vaengah, “Sarai kah salnu Hagar me lamkah lae na lo tih melam na caeh eh?” a ti nah. Te dongah Hagar loh, “Ka boeinu Sarai hmuh lamloh ka yong coeng,” a ti nah.
he said to her: “Hagar, handmaid of Sarai, where have you come from? And where will you go?” And she answered, “I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.”
9 Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “Na boeinu taengah mael lamtah anih kut hmuiah yalh mai,” a ti nah.
And the Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand.”
10 Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Hagar taengah, “Nang kah tiingan te pungtai rhoela ka pungtai sak vetih a khawk uet ah n'tae lek mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And again he said, “I will multiply your offspring continuously, and they will not be numbered because of their multitude.”
11 Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh anih te, “Nang kah phacipphabaem te BOEIPA loh a yaak coeng dongah nang na vawn tih camoe a om vaengah a ming te Ishmael la na khue ni.
But thereafter he said: “Behold, you have conceived, and you will give birth to a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your affliction.
12 Tedae anih he hlang kah kohong marhang la om ni. A kut loh hlang tom a veet vetih hlang boeih kah kut loh anih veet cakhaw a manuca boeih kah mikhmuh ah kho a sak ni,” a ti nah.
He will be a wild man. His hand will be against all, and all hands will be against him. And he will pitch his tents away from the region of all his brothers.”
13 Te vaengah, “Kai aka hmu kah a hnuk te hela koep ka hmuh,” a ti dongah anih taengah aka cal BOEIPA ming te, “Nang tah Mueihmuh Pathen,” tila a khue.
Then she called upon the name of the Lord who had spoken to her: “You are the God who has seen me.” For she said, “Certainly, here I have seen the back of the one who sees me.”
14 Te dongah Kadesh laklo neh Bered laklo kah tuito ke Beerlahairoi a sui.
Because of this, she called that well: ‘The well of the one who lives and who sees me.’ The same is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Te phoeiah Hagar loh Abram ham capa a cun pah. Hagar loh a cun a capa te Abram loh a ming Ishmael tila a sui.
And Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram, who called his name Ishmael.
16 Hagar loh Abram ham Ishmael a cun pah vaengah Abram khaw kum sawmrhet kum rhuk lo ca pueng.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael for him.
