< Genesis 16 >

1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no sons. And she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Abram e yu Sarai ni ahni hanelah ca khe pouh hoeh. Hatei ahni ni vah a sannu Izip tami buet touh a tawn. A min teh Hagar.
2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has restrained me from bearing. Go in, I pray thee, to my handmaid. It may be that I will obtain sons by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
Hatdawkvah, Sarai ni Abram koevah khenhaw! BAWIPA ni ca khe hanelah kâ na poe hoeh. Ka sannu koe mah cet leih ahni koehoi ca khe thai yawkaw han doeh telah atipouh. Sarai e lawk Abram ni a tarawi pouh.
3 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.
Hottelah Abram teh Kanaan ram kum 10 touh ao hnukkhu Abram e yu Sarai ni a sannu Izip tami Hagar hah a hrawi teh a vâ Abram koe a yu hanelah a poe.
4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Ahni ni Hagar a ikhai teh camo a vawn. Camo vawn tie a kâpanue torei teh a bawinu hah a hnephnap.
5 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be upon thee. I gave my handmaid into they bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee.
Hat torei teh Sarai ni Abram koevah, kai dawk thoenae a sak e heh nang lathueng phat seh. Kai ni ka sannu na poe ei camo vawn tie a panue torei teh a mit hoi kai na hnephnap. BAWIPA ni nang hoi kai rahak lawkceng lawiseh telah atipouh.
6 But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.
Hatei Abram ni Sarai koevah, na sannu teh na kut dawk doeh ao. Sarai ni puenghoi a yue teh ahni koehoi oun a yawng.
7 And the agent of Jehovah found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
BAWIPA e kalvantami ni Shur kho lah ceinae kahrawngum lam teng tuiphuek teng vah a hmu.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, from where have thou come? And where are thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.
Sarai e sannu Hagar, nâ lahoi maw na tho teh nâ lah maw na cei han telah a pacei. Hat torei teh ahni ni ka bawinu Sarai koehoi ka yawng e doeh atipouh.
9 And the agent of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
BAWIPA e kalvantaminaw, na bawinu koe bout ban nateh a kut rahim awm pouh loe telah atipouh.
10 And the agent of Jehovah said to her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
BAWIPA e kalvantami ni, na canaw moikapap ka pungdaw sak vaiteh na touklek thai mahoeh telah atipouh.
11 And the agent of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou are with child, and shall bear a son, and thou shall call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah has heard thy affliction.
Hahoi, BAWIPA e kalvantami ni thaihaw, camo na vawn vaiteh ca tongpa na khe han, Ishmael telah min na phung han. Bangkongtetpawiteh nange na reithainae BAWIPA ni a thai toe.
12 And he will be a wild donkey among men, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brothers.
Hatei na capa teh la ka matheng e lah ao han. Tami pueng a taran vaiteh tami pueng ni hai a taran van han. A hmaunawngha pueng hai a taran vaiteh kho a sak han telah atipouh.
13 And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou are a God who sees, for she said, Have I even here looked behind him who sees me?
Hottelah ahni koe lawk ka dei e BAWIPA min a kaw teh, Nang teh kai kahmawtkung Cathut doeh. Bangtelamaw hivah kai kahmawtkung teh kai ni hai ka hmu toe telah ati.
14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Hatdawkvah, tuikhu teh Beerlahairoi telah a phung. Hote teh Kadesh hoi Bered kho rahak vah ao.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son. And Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Hathnukkhu, Hagar ni Abram hane ca tongpa a khe pouh. Hagar ni a khe e a capa teh Abram ni Ishmael telah min a phung.
16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Hagar ni Abram hanelah Ishmael a khe pouh navah Abram teh kum 86 touh a pha.
