Genesis 16
1 Now Sarai the wife of Abram, had brought forth no children; but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar,
Sarayi, mwasi ya Abrami, abotelaki ye mwana te. Nzokande azalaki na mosali moko ya mwasi, moto ya Ejipito; kombo na ye « Agari. »
2 She said to her husband: Behold, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in unto my handmaid, it may be I may have children of her at least. And when he agreed to her request,
Sarayi alobaki na Abrami: — Yawe apesi ngai mabota te. Kende, sangisa nzoto na mosali na ngai ya mwasi, tango mosusu nakotonga libota na nzela na ye. Abrami ayokaki maloba ya Sarayi.
3 She took Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, ten years after they first dwelt in the land of Chanaan, and gave her to her husband to wife.
Sima na mibu zomi, wana Abrami avandaki na Kanana, mwasi na ye Sarayi apesaki ye Agari, mosali na ye ya mwasi, moto ya Ejipito, mpo ete azala mwasi na ye.
4 And he went in to her. But she, perceiving that she was with child, despised her mistress.
Abrami asangisaki nzoto na Agari, mpe Agari akomaki na zemi. Tango Agari asosolaki ete akomi na zemi, akomaki kotiola Sarayi, nkolo na ye.
5 And Sarai said to Abram: Thou dost unjustly with me: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and she perceiving herself to be with child, despiseth me. The Lord judge between me and thee.
Boye, Sarayi alobaki na Abrami: — Ezali mpo na yo nde ngai nazali komona pasi ya boye; napesaki mosali na ngai ya mwasi na maboko na yo. Mpe sik’oyo lokola amoni ete azali na zemi, akomi kotiola ngai. Tika ete Yawe akata likambo kati na ngai mpe yo.
6 And Abram made answer, and said to her: Behold thy handmaid is in thy own hand, use her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai afflicted her, she ran away.
Abrami alobaki: — Mosali na yo azali na maboko na yo. Sala epai na ye nyonso oyo omoni malamu. Boye, Sarayi akomaki konyokola Agari mpe Agari akimaki mosika na ye.
7 And the angel of the Lord having found her, by a fountain of water in the wilderness, which is in the way to Sur in the desert,
Anjelu ya Yawe amonaki Agari na esobe, pene ya etima oyo ezali na nzela ya Shuri.
8 He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she answered: I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.
Atunaki ye: — Agari, mosali ya Sarayi, owuti wapi mpe ozali kokende wapi? Azongisaki: — Nazali kokima mosika ya Sarayi, nkolo na ngai.
9 And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand.
Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na ye: — Zonga epai ya nkolo na yo mpe mikitisa liboso na ye.
10 And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na ye lisusu: — Nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele penza mpe moto moko te akokoka kotanga bango.
11 And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
Alobaki na ye lisusu: — Ozali na zemi mpe okobota mwana mobali, okopesa ye kombo « Isimaeli, » pamba te Yawe ayoki yo, kati na mawa na yo.
12 He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.
Akozala lokola ane ya zamba. Loboko na ye ekobundisa moto nyonso, mpe loboko ya moto nyonso ekobundisa ye; akovanda esika moko te na bandeko na ye.
13 And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her: Thou the God who hast seen me. For she said: Verily here have I seen the hinder parts of him that seeth me.
Agari amitunaki: « Boni, namoni solo Nzambe oyo azali komona ngai? » Boye, Agari apesaki Yawe oyo asololaki na ye Kombo « Ata-Eli-Royi, » oyo elakisi: Nzambe oyo azali komona ngai.
14 Therefore she called that well, The well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad.
Yango wana babengaka libulu ya mayi yango Beri Lakai-Royi. Libulu ya mayi yango ezali na kati-kati ya Kadeshi mpe Beredi.
15 And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael.
Boye, Agari abotelaki Abrami mwana mobali mpe Abrami apesaki ye kombo « Isimaeli. »
16 Abram was four score and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael.
Abrami azalaki na mibu tuku mwambe na motoba ya mbotama tango Agari abotelaki ye Isimaeli.
