Genesis 16
1 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bare him no children: and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Abram yuu Sarai loh anih ham ca cun pah pawh. Tedae amah taengah salnu, a ming ah Hagar, Egypt nu om.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, Jehovah hath restrained me from bearing; go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
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.
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.
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.
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Te phoeiah Hagar te a kun thil hatah pahoi pumrhih. Tedae a pumrhih te a ming vaengah a mik neh a boeinu te hnaep.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: Jehovah judge between me and thee.
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.
6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt hardly with her, and she fled from her face.
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.
7 And the angel of Jehovah found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
Tedae Shur long taengkah tuiphuet kaep, khosoek tuiphuet tui taengah BOEIPA kah puencawn a hmuh.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, whence camest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.
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.
9 And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “Na boeinu taengah mael lamtah anih kut hmuiah yalh mai,” a ti nah.
10 And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
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.
11 And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath heard thy affliction.
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.
12 And he shall be [as] a wild ass among men; his hand [shall be] against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his brethren.
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.
13 And she called the name of Jehovah that spake unto her, Thou art a God that seeth: for she said, Have I even here looked after him that seeth me?
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.
14 Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Te dongah Kadesh laklo neh Bered laklo kah tuito ke Beerlahairoi a sui.
15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bare, Ishmael.
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.
16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
Hagar loh Abram ham Ishmael a cun pah vaengah Abram khaw kum sawmrhet kum rhuk lo ca pueng.
