Genesis 16
1 Sarai, Abram's wife, hadn't been able to have any children for him. However, she owned a female Egyptian slave named Hagar,
Abram e yu Sarai ni ahni hanelah ca khe pouh hoeh. Hatei ahni ni vah a sannu Izip tami buet touh a tawn. A min teh Hagar.
2 so Sarai said to Abram, “Please listen to me. The Lord hasn't let me have any children. So please go and sleep with my slave. Maybe I can have a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai had suggested.
Hatdawkvah, Sarai ni Abram koevah khenhaw! BAWIPA ni ca khe hanelah kâ na poe hoeh. Ka sannu koe mah cet leih ahni koehoi ca khe thai yawkaw han doeh telah atipouh. Sarai e lawk Abram ni a tarawi pouh.
3 So Sarai, Abram's wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband as his wife. Abram had been living in the land of Canaan for ten years when this happened.
Hottelah Abram teh Kanaan ram kum 10 touh ao hnukkhu Abram e yu Sarai ni a sannu Izip tami Hagar hah a hrawi teh a vâ Abram koe a yu hanelah a poe.
4 Abram slept with Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized she was pregnant, she treated her mistress with contempt.
Ahni ni Hagar a ikhai teh camo a vawn. Camo vawn tie a kâpanue torei teh a bawinu hah a hnephnap.
5 Then Sarai complained to Abram, “What I'm suffering is all your doing! I gave you my servant to sleep with, and now that she knows she's pregnant, she treats me with contempt. May the Lord decide who's at fault—you or me!”
Hat torei teh Sarai ni Abram koevah, kai dawk thoenae a sak e heh nang lathueng phat seh. Kai ni ka sannu na poe ei camo vawn tie a panue torei teh a mit hoi kai na hnephnap. BAWIPA ni nang hoi kai rahak lawkceng lawiseh telah atipouh.
6 “Listen, she's your slave!” Abram replied. “You can do whatever you want to her.” Sarai treated Hagar so badly that she ran away.
Hatei Abram ni Sarai koevah, na sannu teh na kut dawk doeh ao. Sarai ni puenghoi a yue teh ahni koehoi oun a yawng.
7 The angel of the Lord met Hagar at a spring in the desert—the spring on the road to Shur.
BAWIPA e kalvantami ni Shur kho lah ceinae kahrawngum lam teng tuiphuek teng vah a hmu.
8 He asked her, “Hagar, Sarai's slave—where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I'm running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.
Sarai e sannu Hagar, nâ lahoi maw na tho teh nâ lah maw na cei han telah a pacei. Hat torei teh ahni ni ka bawinu Sarai koehoi ka yawng e doeh atipouh.
9 “Go back to your mistress and do what she tells you,” the angel of the Lord told her.
BAWIPA e kalvantaminaw, na bawinu koe bout ban nateh a kut rahim awm pouh loe telah atipouh.
10 Then he continued, “I will give you many, many descendants—in fact they'll be so many they can't be counted.”
BAWIPA e kalvantami ni, na canaw moikapap ka pungdaw sak vaiteh na touklek thai mahoeh telah atipouh.
11 The angel of the Lord went on to tell her: “Listen! You're pregnant, and you will have a son. You are to name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard how you've suffered.
Hahoi, BAWIPA e kalvantami ni thaihaw, camo na vawn vaiteh ca tongpa na khe han, Ishmael telah min na phung han. Bangkongtetpawiteh nange na reithainae BAWIPA ni a thai toe.
12 He'll be a wild donkey kind of man—he will fight with everyone, and everyone will fight with him. He will forever be fighting with his relatives.”
Hatei na capa teh la ka matheng e lah ao han. Tami pueng a taran vaiteh tami pueng ni hai a taran van han. A hmaunawngha pueng hai a taran vaiteh kho a sak han telah atipouh.
13 From then on Hagar called the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” because she said, “Here I saw the one who sees me.”
Hottelah ahni koe lawk ka dei e BAWIPA min a kaw teh, Nang teh kai kahmawtkung Cathut doeh. Bangtelamaw hivah kai kahmawtkung teh kai ni hai ka hmu toe telah ati.
14 That's why the well is called “the Well of the Living One who Sees Me.” It's still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
Hatdawkvah, tuikhu teh Beerlahairoi telah a phung. Hote teh Kadesh hoi Bered kho rahak vah ao.
15 Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram. Abram named his son Ishmael.
Hathnukkhu, Hagar ni Abram hane ca tongpa a khe pouh. Hagar ni a khe e a capa teh Abram ni Ishmael telah min a phung.
16 Abram was 86 when Hagar had Ishmael.
Hagar ni Abram hanelah Ishmael a khe pouh navah Abram teh kum 86 touh a pha.
