Genesis 16
1 And Sara the wife of Abram bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian maid, whose name was Agar.
Tsono Sarai, mkazi wa Abramu anali asanamuberekere ana Abramuyo. Koma anali ndi wantchito wamkazi wa ku Igupto dzina lake Hagara;
2 And Sara said to Abram, Behold, the Lord has restrained me from bearing, go therefore in to my maid, that I may get children for myself through her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sara.
ndipo Sarai anati kwa Abramu, “Yehova sanalole kuti ine ndikhale ndi ana. Bwanji mulowe mwa wantchito wanga wamkaziyu kuti mwina ndingaone ana kudzera mwa iyeyu.” Abramu anamvera Sarai.
3 So Sara the wife of Abram having taken Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Chanaan, gave her to Abram her husband as a wife to him.
Tsono Sarai anatenga Hagara wantchito wake wamkazi wa ku Igupto uja namupereka kwa Abramu mwamuna wake kuti akhale mkazi wake. Izi zinachitika Abramu atakhala ku Kanaani zaka khumi.
4 And he went in to Agar, and she conceived, and saw that she was with child, and her mistress was dishonored before her.
Abramu atalowana ndi Hagara, Hagara uja anatenga mimba. Pamene Hagara anadziwa kuti anali woyembekezera anayamba kunyoza mbuye wake Sarai.
5 And Sara said to Abram, I am injured by you; I gave my handmaid into your bosom, and when I saw that she was with child, I was dishonored before her. The Lord judge between me and you.
Pamenepo Sarai anati kwa Abramu, “Inu ndinu amene mwandiputira nkhanza zikundichitikirazi. Ndinakupatsani wantchito wanga wamkazi kuti akhale mkazi wanu, ndiye tsopano wayamba kundinyoza ine chifukwa wadziwa kuti ndi woyembekezera. Yehova ndiye amene aweruze pakati pa inu ndi ine.”
6 And Abram said to Sara, Behold your handmaid is in your hands, use her as it may seem good to you. And Sara afflicted her, and she fled from her face.
Abramu anati, “Wantchito wakoyu ali mʼmanja mwako. Chita naye chilichonse chimene ukuganiza kuti ndi chokukomera.” Tsono Sarai anazunza Hagara mpaka anathawa.
7 And an angel of the Lord found her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Sur.
Mngelo wa Yehova anamupeza Hagara pafupi ndi chitsime mʼchipululu. Chinali chitsime chimene chili mʼmphepete mwa msewu wopita ku Suri.
8 And the angel of the Lord said to her, Agar, Sara's maid, whence come you, and wither go you? and she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sara.
Ndipo mngeloyo anati, “Hagara, iwe wantchito wa Sarai, ukuchokera kuti ndipo ukupita kuti?” Iye anayankha, “Ndikuthawa mbuye wanga Sarai.”
9 And the angel of the Lord said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.
Mngelo wa Yehova anamuwuza kuti, “Bwerera kwa mbuye wako ndipo ukamugonjere.
10 And the angel of the Lord said to her, I will surely multiply your seed, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri zoti munthu sangaziwerenge.”
11 And the angel of the Lord said to her, Behold you are with child, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ismael, for the Lord has listened to your humiliation.
Mngelo wa Yehova uja anamuwuzanso kuti, “Ndiwe woyembekezera ndipo udzabala mwana wamwamuna. Udzamutcha dzina lake Ismaeli, pakuti Yehova wamva kulira chifukwa cha kuzunzika kwako.
12 He shall be a wild man, his hands against all, and the hands of all against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Iye adzakhala munthu wa khalidwe ngati mʼmbulu wamisala; adzadana ndi aliyense ndipo anthu onse adzadana naye, adzakhala mwaudani pakati pa abale ake onse.”
13 And she called the name of the Lord God who spoke to her, You are God who see me; for she said, For I have openly seen him that appeared to me.
Hagara anatcha Yehova amene anamuyankhula uja dzina loti: “Ndinu Mulungu amene mumandiona,” popeza anati, “Ndakumana ndi Yehova atatha kundikomera mtima.”
14 Therefore she called the well, The well of him whom I have openly seen; behold it is between Cades and Barad.
Nʼchifukwa chake chitsime chija chimene chili pakati pa Kadesi ndi Beredi chinatchedwa Beeri-lahai-roi.
15 And Agar bore a son to Abram; and Abram called the name of his son which Agar bore to him, Ismael.
Tsono Hagara anamuberekera Abramu mwana wamwamuna ndipo Abramu anamutcha mwanayo Ismaeli.
16 And Abram was eighty-six years old, when Agar bore Ismael to Abram.
Pamene Hagara anamubalira Ismaeli nʼkuti Abramuyo ali ndi zaka 86.
