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;

But Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children, —she had, however, an Egyptian handmaid, whose name was 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.

So then Sarai said unto Abram Behold, I pray thee, Yahweh hath restrained me, from bearing, go in I pray thee unto, my handmaid, peradventure I may be built up from, her, And Abram hearkened 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.

So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian. her handmaid, at the end of ten years of Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband, to be to him as a wife.

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

And he went in unto Hagar and she conceived, —and when she saw that she had conceived, lightly esteemed, was her lady, 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.”

Then said Sarai unto Abram: My wrong, is, on thee! I, gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and when she seeth that she hath conceived, then am I lightly esteemed in her eyes Yahweh judge betwixt me and her.

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 said unto Sarai, Lo! thy handmaid, is in thy hand, do to her what is good in thine eyes. So Sarai humbled her, and she fled from her face.

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

And the messenger of Yahweh found her by the fountain of water in the desert, —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.”

So he said Hagar! handmaid of Sarai! Whence hast thou come, and whither wouldst thou go? And she said, From the face of Sarai, my lady, am, I, fleeing.

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

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

And the messenger of Yahweh said to her, I will, greatly multiply, thy seed—so that it shall not be numbered for 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 Yahweh said to her, Behold thee! with child, and about bearing a son—and thou shalt call his name Ishmael ["God hearkeneth"] for Yahweh hath hearkened unto thy humiliation.

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.”

But, he, will be a wild ass of a man, his hand, against every one, and every one’s hand against him—yet, in presence of all his brethren, shall he have his habitation.

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 called the name of Yahweh, who had spoken unto her, Thou GOD of vision! For she said. Do I even here, retain my vision after a vision?

On this account, is the well called, the well of the life of vision, lo! it is between Kadesh and Bered.

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

So Hagar bare to Abram a son, —and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bare, Ishmael.

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