Genesis 16
1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bore him no children; and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Ma Serai nwunye Ebram, amụtaghị nwa. Serai nwere odibo nwanyị onye Ijipt, aha ya bụ Hega.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram: 'Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing; go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall be builded up through her.' And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
Ya mere ọ gwara Ebram sị, “Lee, ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị egbochiela m ịmụta ụmụ. Ugbu a, bakwuru nwanyị na-ejere m ozi. Ma eleghị anya, aga m esi na ya wulite ezinaụlọ m.” Ebram kweere ihe Serai kwuru.
3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.
Ya mere Serai nwunye Ebram, duuru Hega, odibo nwanyị ya, onye Ijipt, dunye Ebram ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya. Ihe a mere na ngwụcha afọ iri site na mgbe Ebram bịara biri nʼala Kenan.
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Ebram na Hega dinara. Hega tụụrụ ime. Ma mgbe Hega matara na ọ dịrịla ime, ọ malitere ileda nne ya ukwu bụ Serai anya.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram: 'My wrong be upon thee: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.'
Mgbe ahụ, Serai gwara Ebram sị, “Ọ bụ gị butere ahụhụ a m nọ nʼime ya. Ọ bụ m were nwaodibo nwanyị m kunye gị nʼaka, ma ugbu a ọ hụrụ na ọ dị ime, abụrụla m onye ọ na-eleda anya. Ka Onyenwe anyị kpee ikpe a nʼetiti mụ na gị.”
6 But Abram said unto Sarai: 'Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her that which is good in thine eyes.' And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.
Ebram zara Serai sị, “Lee, ohu gị nwanyị dị gị nʼaka. Jiri ya mee ihe ọbụla dị gị mma nʼanya.” Nʼihi nke a, Serai mesiri ya ihe ike, nke mere ka o si nʼebe Serai nọ gbapụ.
7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
Ma mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ya nʼakụkụ isi iyi mmiri dị nʼọzara, nʼakụkụ ụzọ Shua,
8 And he said: 'Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, whence camest thou? and whither goest thou?' And she said: 'I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.'
jụọ ya sị, “Hega, ohu nwanyị Serai, olee ebe i si bịa, olee ebe ka ị na-ejekwa?” Hega zara sị, “Ọ bụ site nʼihu nne m ukwu Serai ka m na-agba ọsọ.”
9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her: 'Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.'
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị gwara ya sị, “Laghachikwuru nne gị ukwu. Doo onwe gị nʼokpuru ya.”
10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her: 'I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị sịkwa ya, “Aga m amụba ụmụ gị, ka a hapụ inwe ike ịgụta ole ha dị.”
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her: 'Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị gwakwara ya sị, “Ị dị ime ugbu a, ị ga-amụ nwa nwoke. Aha ị ga-agụ ya bụ Ishmel nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anụla maka nhụju anya gị.
12 And he shall be a wild ass of a man: his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the face of all his brethren.'
Nwoke dịka ịnyịnya ibu a na-azụghị azụ ka ọ ga-abụ. Ọ ga-emegide onye ọbụla, onye ọbụla ga-emegidekwa ya. Ọ ga-ebi nʼime ibu iro, megide ụmụnna ya niile.”
13 And she called the name of the LORD that spoke unto her, Thou art a God of seeing; for she said: 'Have I even here seen Him that seeth Me?'
Hega kpọkuru aha Onyenwe anyị, onye gwara ya okwu sị, “Ị bụ Chineke m na-ahụ m.” Nʼihi na Hega kwuru sị, “Ahụla m, ugbu a, onye ahụ na-ahụ m.”
14 Wherefore the well was called 'Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Ọ bụ ya mere e ji na-akpọ olulu mmiri ahụ, Bịa-Lahai-Rọị. Ọ ka dị ebe ahụ, nʼetiti Kadesh na Bered.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Emesịa, Hega mụtaara Ebram nwa nwoke. Ebram kpọrọ nwa nwoke ahụ Hega mụtaara ya Ishmel.
16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Ebram gbara iri afọ asatọ na isii mgbe Hega mụtaara ya Ishmel.
