Genesis 16
1 And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him [children]. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar.
Tsono Sarai, mkazi wa Abramu anali asanamuberekere ana Abramuyo. Koma anali ndi wantchito wamkazi wa ku Igupto dzina lake Hagara;
2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has shut me up, that I do not bear. Go in, I pray thee, to my maidservant: it may be that I shall be built up by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
ndipo Sarai anati kwa Abramu, “Yehova sanalole kuti ine ndikhale ndi ana. Bwanji mulowe mwa wantchito wanga wamkaziyu kuti mwina ndingaone ana kudzera mwa iyeyu.” Abramu anamvera Sarai.
3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of ten years that Abram had dwelt in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram, as his wife.
Tsono Sarai anatenga Hagara wantchito wake wamkazi wa ku Igupto uja namupereka kwa Abramu mwamuna wake kuti akhale mkazi wake. Izi zinachitika Abramu atakhala ku Kanaani zaka khumi.
4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was lightly esteemed in her eyes.
Abramu atalowana ndi Hagara, Hagara uja anatenga mimba. Pamene Hagara anadziwa kuti anali woyembekezera anayamba kunyoza mbuye wake Sarai.
5 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on thee! I have given my maidservant into thy bosom; and now she sees that she has conceived, I am lightly esteemed in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee!
Pamenepo Sarai anati kwa Abramu, “Inu ndinu amene mwandiputira nkhanza zikundichitikirazi. Ndinakupatsani wantchito wanga wamkazi kuti akhale mkazi wanu, ndiye tsopano wayamba kundinyoza ine chifukwa wadziwa kuti ndi woyembekezera. Yehova ndiye amene aweruze pakati pa inu ndi ine.”
6 And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maidservant is in thy hand: do to her what is good in thine eyes. And Sarai oppressed her; and she fled from her face.
Abramu anati, “Wantchito wakoyu ali mʼmanja mwako. Chita naye chilichonse chimene ukuganiza kuti ndi chokukomera.” Tsono Sarai anazunza Hagara mpaka anathawa.
7 And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
Mngelo wa Yehova anamupeza Hagara pafupi ndi chitsime mʼchipululu. Chinali chitsime chimene chili mʼmphepete mwa msewu wopita ku Suri.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maidservant, whence comest thou? and whither art thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.
Ndipo mngeloyo anati, “Hagara, iwe wantchito wa Sarai, ukuchokera kuti ndipo ukupita kuti?” Iye anayankha, “Ndikuthawa mbuye wanga Sarai.”
9 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Mngelo wa Yehova anamuwuza kuti, “Bwerera kwa mbuye wako ndipo ukamugonjere.
10 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri zoti munthu sangaziwerenge.”
11 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath hearkened to thy affliction.
Mngelo wa Yehova uja anamuwuzanso kuti, “Ndiwe woyembekezera ndipo udzabala mwana wamwamuna. Udzamutcha dzina lake Ismaeli, pakuti Yehova wamva kulira chifukwa cha kuzunzika kwako.
12 And he will be a wild-ass of a man, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell before the face of all his brethren.
Iye adzakhala munthu wa khalidwe ngati mʼmbulu wamisala; adzadana ndi aliyense ndipo anthu onse adzadana naye, adzakhala mwaudani pakati pa abale ake onse.”
13 And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou art the God who reveals himself, for she said, Also here have I seen after he has revealed himself.
Hagara anatcha Yehova amene anamuyankhula uja dzina loti: “Ndinu Mulungu amene mumandiona,” popeza anati, “Ndakumana ndi Yehova atatha kundikomera mtima.”
14 Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Nʼchifukwa chake chitsime chija chimene chili pakati pa Kadesi ndi Beredi chinatchedwa Beeri-lahai-roi.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Tsono Hagara anamuberekera Abramu mwana wamwamuna ndipo Abramu anamutcha mwanayo Ismaeli.
16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Pamene Hagara anamubalira Ismaeli nʼkuti Abramuyo ali ndi zaka 86.
