Genesis 16
1 And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him [children]. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar.
Kisha Sarai mke wa Abram, alikuwa hajamzalia mtoto, lakini alikuwa na mtumishi wa kike, Mmisri ambaye jina lake aliitwa Hajiri.
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.
Kwa hiyo Sarai akamwambia Abram, “Tazama, Yahwe hajanifanya mimi kuwa na watoto. Nenda na ulale na mtumishi wangu. Ili kwamba niweze kupata watoto kupitia yeye.” Abram akasikiliza sauti ya 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.
Ilikuwa baada ya Abram kuishi miaka kumi katika nchi ya Kanaani ndipo Sarai, mke wa Abram, alimtoa Hajiri yule mmisri mtumishi wake kwa mume wake awe kama mke wake.
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.
Kwa hiyo akawa na mahusiano na Hajiri, na akabeba mimba. Na alipoona kuwa amebeba mimba, akamdharau bibi yake.
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!
Kisha Sarai akamwambia Abram, “Jambo hili baya kwangu ni kwa sababu yako. Nilimtoa mtumishi wangu wa kike katika kumbatio lako. Na alipoona kuwa amebeba mimba, nilidharaulika machoni pake. Na sasa acha Yahwe aamuwe kati yangu na wewe.”
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.
Lakini Abram akamwambia Sarai, “Tazama, hapa, mtumishi wako yuko katika uwezo wako, fanya unachofikiri ni kizuri sana kwake.” Kwa hiyo Sarai akakabiliana naye kwa ukatili, na akatoroka.
7 And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
Malaika wa Yahwe akamkuta karibu na chemichemi ya maji katika jangwa, chemichemi iliyo katika njia kuelekea Shuri.
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.
Akasema, Hajiri, mtumishi wa Sarai, umetoka wapi na unakwenda wapi?” Na akasema, ninamtoroka bibi yangu Sarai.”
9 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Malaika wa Yahwe akamwambia, “Rudi kwa bibi yako, na unyenyekee chini ya mamlaka yake.”
10 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Kisha Malaika wa Yahwe akamwambia, “Nitazidisha uzao wako maradufu, kiasi kwamba watakuwa wengi wasioweza kuhesabika.”
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.
Malaika wa Yahwe pia akamwambia, “Tazama, wewe unamimba, na utazaa mtoto kiume, na utamwita jina lake Ishmaeli, kwasabab Yahwe amesikia mateso yako.
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.
Atakuwa punda mwitu wa mtu. Atakuwa adui dhidi ya kila mtu, na kila mtu atakuwa adui yake, na ataishi kando na ndugu zake wote.”
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.
Kisha akamwita jina hili Yahwe aliye zungumza naye, “Wewe ni Mungu unionaye mimi,” kwa kuwa alisema, “je ninaendelea kweli kuona, hata baada ya kuwa ameniona?”
14 Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Kwa hiyo kisima kiliitwa Beerlahairori; Tazama, kiko kati ya Kadeshi na Beredi.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Hajiri akamzalia Abram mwana wa kiume, na Abram akamwita mwanawe, ambaye Hajiri amemzaa jina, Ishmaeli.
16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Abram alikuwa na umri wa miaka themanini na sita wakati Hajiri alipomzaa Ishmaeli kwa Abram.
