Chakruok 16

1 Koro Sarai chi Abram ne pok onywolone nyithindo. To ne en gi misumba ma nyako ma nyar Misri, ma nyinge ne Hagar;

And Sarai, Abram’s wife, has not borne to him, and she has a handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name [is] Hagar;

2 omiyo Sarai nowacho ne Abram niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ok osemiya nyithindo. Dhiyo mondo iriwri gi jatichna ma nyako; dipoka ayudo joga koa kuome.” Abram noyie gi wach Sarai.

and Sarai says to Abram, “Now behold, YHWH has restrained me from bearing, please go in to my handmaid; perhaps I am built up from her”; and Abram listens to the voice of Sarai.

3 Kane oyudo Abram osedak Kanaan kuom higni apar, Sarai chiege nokawo misumbane ma nyako Misri, ma nyinge Hagar kendo nochiwe ne chwore mondo obed chiege.

And Sarai, Abram’s wife, takes Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, at the end of the tenth year of Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gives her to her husband Abram—to him for a wife,

4 Abram noriwore gi Hagar kendo nomako ich. Kane ofwenyo ni en gi ich, nochako chayo ruodhe madhako.

and he goes in to Hagar, and she conceives, and she sees that she has conceived, and her mistress is lightly esteemed in her eyes.

5 Eka Sarai nowacho ne Abram niya, “In ema ikelona achayani. Ne aketo jatichna e lweti, kendo ka koro ongʼeyo ni osemako ich to ochaya mad Jehova Nyasaye bed jangʼad bura e kinda kodi.”

And Sarai says to Abram, “My violence [is] for you; I have given my handmaid into your bosom, and she sees that she has conceived, and I am lightly esteemed in her eyes; YHWH judges between me and you.”

6 Abram nodwoke niya, “Jatichni ni e lweti, tim kode gima iparo ni ber.” Eka Sarai nosando Hagar; mi noringo oa e wangʼe.

And Abram says to Sarai, “Behold, your handmaid [is] in your hand, do to her that which is good in your eyes”; and Sarai afflicted her, and she flees from her presence.

7 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noyudo Hagar machiegni gi soko e thim; ne en soko manie bath yo madhi Shur.

And the Messenger of YHWH finds her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way [to] Shur,

8 Kendo nopenjo niya, “Hagar jatich Sarai, ia kanye to idhi kanye?” Hagar nodwoke niya, “Aringo aa e wangʼ Sarai matiyone.”

and He says, “Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, from where have you come, and to where do you go?” And she says, “From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.”

9 Eka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Dogi ir ngʼat ma itiyone kendo ichiwri e lwete.”

And the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hands”;

10 Malaika nomedo wachone niya, “Abiro medo ogandani mabed mangʼeny ma ok nyal kwan.”

and the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Multiplying I multiply your seed, and it is not numbered from multitude”;

11 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nomedo wachone niya, “Koro in gi ich kendo ibiro nywolo nyathi ma wuowi, mi inichake Ishmael, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osewinjo chandruokni.

and the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Behold you [are] conceiving, and bearing a son, and have called his name Ishmael, for YHWH has listened to your affliction;

12 Obiro bedo ngʼama kwiny ka kanyna mapok obo; nobed mamon gi ji duto, kendo ji duto bende nobed mamon kode, mi nodag komon gi owetene duto.”

and he is a wild-donkey man, his hand against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him—and before the face of all his brothers he dwells.”

13 Bangʼeno Hagar nochako Nyasaye mane osewuoyo kode nying ni El-roi (ma tiende ni Jehova Nyasaye Maneno); nimar nowacho niya, “Koro aseneno Jalno manena.”

And she calls the Name of YHWH who is speaking to her, “You [are], O God, my beholder”; for she said, “Even here have I looked behind my beholder?”

14 Mano emomiyo sokono nochaki ni Beer-Lahai-Roi; kendo pod entiere nyaka chil kawuono, e kind Kadesh kod Bered.

Therefore has one called the well, “The well of the Living One, my beholder”; behold, between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Kuom mano Hagar nonywolone Abram nyathi ma wuowi kendo nochako nyinge ni Ishmael.

And Hagar bears a son to Abram; and Abram calls the name of his son, whom Hagar has borne, Ishmael;

16 Abram ne ja-higni piero aboro gauchiel kane Hagar onywolone Ishmael.

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