Genesis 16
1 And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him [children]. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar.
Saa bere no, na Sarai nwoo ɔba mmaa Abram ɛ. Na ɔwɔ Misraimni abaawa bi a wɔfrɛ no Hagar;
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.
enti Sarai ka kyerɛɛ Abram se, “Wo ara wunim sɛ Awurade ama mayɛ obonin; manwo ɔba! Mesrɛ wo, kɔ na wo ne mʼabaawa Hagar nkɔda; ebia ɛnam ne so na manya mma.” Abram penee asɛm a Sarai ka kyerɛɛ no no so.
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.
Abram tenaa Kanaan asase so mfe du akyi no, ne yere Sarai de Misraimni abaawa Hagar no kɔmaa ne kunu no sɛ ɔnware no.
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.
Abram ne Hagar dae, na onyinsɛnee. Bere a Hagar huu sɛ wanyinsɛn no, ofii ase buu nʼawuraa Sarai animtiaa.
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!
Enti Sarai ka kyerɛɛ Abram se, “Saa ɔhaw a aba me so yi nyinaa fi wo! Mede mʼabaawa maa wo; afei a wahu sɛ wanyinsɛn no nti, otiatia mʼanim. Awurade mmu me ne wo ntam atɛn.”
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.
Nanso Abram ka kyerɛɛ Sarai se, “Ɔyɛ wʼabaawa. Nea wopɛ sɛ wode yɛ no biara, fa yɛ no.” Efi saa bere no, Sarai tan nʼabaawa Hagar ani ma oguan fii ne nkyɛn.
7 And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
Awurade bɔfo huu Hagar wɔ nsu aniwa bi ho wɔ sare no so. Na saa nsu aniwa no da ɔkwan a ɛkɔ kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Sur no nkyɛn.
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.
Ɔbɔfo no bisaa Hagar se, “Sarai abaawa Hagar, wufi he, na worekɔ he?” Hagar buaa no se, “Mereguan afi mʼawuraa Sarai nkyɛn.”
9 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Na Awurade bɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ Hagar se, “San kɔ wʼawuraa no nkyɛn, na kɔbrɛ wo ho ase ma no.”
10 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Ɔbɔfo no ka kaa ho se, “Mɛma wʼase afɛe a, wɔkan a ɛnyɛ yiye.”
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.
Awurade bɔfo no san ka kyerɛɛ Hagar se, “Woanyinsɛn, na wobɛwo ɔbabarima. Wobɛto no din Ismael, efisɛ Awurade ate wʼamanehunu.
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.
Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ sare so afurum. Obetia nnipa nyinaa, na nnipa nyinaa nso betia no; atutuwpɛ so na ɔne ne nuanom bɛtena.”
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.
Eyi akyi no ɔkae se, “Mahu Nea ohu me.” Ɛno nti, ɔde din El-Roi a ase ne “Onyankopɔn a ohu me” no too no.
14 Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛ nsu aniwa no se Beer-Lahai-Roi a ase ne “Onyankopɔn Teasefo a ohu me abura.” Ɛda Kades ne Bered ntam besi nnɛ.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Enti Hagar woo ɔbabarima maa Abram. Abram too abofra no din Ismael.
16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Hagar woo Ismael no, na Abram adi mfe aduɔwɔtwe asia.
