< Genesis 16 >

1 And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him [children]. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her 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 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.
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 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.
Te dongah Sarai ol te Abramloh a ngai. Te dongah Kanaan kho ah Abram loh kho a sak te kum kumrhaa thok vaengah Abram yuu Sarai loh a sal Egypt nu Hagar tea loh tih a va Abram taengah a yuu laa paek.
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.
Te phoeiah Hagar tea kun thil hatah pahoi pumrhih. Tedaea pumrhih tea ming vaengah a mik neh a boeinute hnaep.
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!
Te dongah Sarai loh Abram taengah, “Kai sokah kuthlahnahte nang pum dongah tla saeh. Kai loh na rhang dongah ka salnu kam paek daea pumrhih tea hmuh vaengah a mik neh n'hnaep he kai laklo neh nang lakloah BOEIPA loh laitloek mai saeh,” a ti nah.
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.
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 spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
Tedae Shur long taengkah tuiphuet kaep, khosoek tuiphuet tui taengah BOEIPA kah puencawna hmuh.
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.
Te vaengah, “Sarai kah salnu Hagar me lamkah lae na lo tih melamna 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 to 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 to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, 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 vetiha khawk uet ah n'tae lek mahpawh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh anih te, “Nang kah phacipphabaem te BOEIPAloh a yaak coeng dongah nangna vawn tih camoea om vaengah a mingte Ishmael la na khue ni.
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.
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 who spoke to her, Thou art the God who reveals himself, for she said, Also here have I seen after he has revealed himself.
Te vaengah, “Kai aka hmu kah a hnukte hela koep ka hmuh,” a ti dongah anih taengah aka cal BOEIPA ming te, “Nang tah Mueihmuh Pathen,” tila a khue.
14 Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Te dongah Kadesh laklo neh Bered laklo kah tuito ke Beerlahairoia sui.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Te phoeiah Hagar loh Abram ham capaa cun pah. Hagarloh a cun a capate Abramloh a ming Ishmael tila a sui.
16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Hagar loh Abram ham Ishmaela cun pah vaengah Abram khaw kum sawmrhet kum rhuk lo ca pueng.
