< Genesis 16 >

1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian handmaid, whose name was Hagar.
Pea ko Selai, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalame, naʻe ʻikai siʻi haʻane fānau; ka naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kaunanga, ko e fefine ʻIsipite, ko Hekaʻā hono hingoa.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in, I pray thee, unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Selai kia ʻEpalame, “Vakai mai, kuo taʻofi au ʻe Sihova, ke ʻoua naʻaku fānau; pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate koe, ke ke ʻalu ki heʻeku kaunanga; heiʻilo te u maʻu ʻae fānau ʻiate ia. Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa ʻEpalame ki he lea ʻa Selai.
3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
Pea ʻave ʻe Selai, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalame, ʻene kaunanga ko Hekaʻā ko e ʻIsipite ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki hono husepāniti ko ʻEpalame ke uaifi ʻaki, hili ʻenau nofo ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu.”
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became of little esteem in her eyes.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia kia Hekaʻā, pea feitama ia; pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo ia ʻoku ne feitama, naʻa ne taukaeʻi hono ʻeiki fefine ʻi hono mata.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, I suffer wrong through thee; I have placed my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became of little esteem in her eyes; may the Lord judge between me and thee.
Pea pehē ʻe Selai kia ʻEpalame, “Ke ʻiate koe ʻeku mamahi: Naʻaku foaki ʻeku kaunanga ki ho fatafata: pea kuo mamata ia kuo feitama, peau kovi leva ʻi hono mata: ke fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻiate kitaua.”
6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEpalame kia Selai, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima hoʻo kaunanga; ke ke fai kiate ia hoʻo faʻiteliha.” Pea ʻi he fai fakamālohi ʻe Selai kiate ia, naʻa ne hola ia mei hono ʻao.
7 And an angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
Pea ʻilo ia ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻo ofi ki ha vai ʻi he toafa, ʻae vai ʻoku ʻi he hala ki Sua.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, From the face of my mistress Sarai I am fleeing.
Pea ne pehē, “Hekaʻā, ko e kaunanga ʻa Selai, Kuo ke haʻu mei fē? Pea te ke ʻalu ki fē?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou hola mei he ʻao ʻo ʻeku fineʻeiki ko Selai.”
9 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia. “Toe ʻalu ki ho fineʻeiki, mo ke fakavaivaiʻi koe kiate ia.”
10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Te u fakatupu ho hako ke tokolahi ʻaupito, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa lau hono tokolahi.”
11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and wilt bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ke feitama, pea te ke fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama, pea te ke ui hono hingoa ko ʻIsimeʻeli; “he kuo ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo mamahi.”
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and in the presence of all his brethren shall he dwell.
Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e tangata hehengi; ʻe hiki hake ʻe ia hono nima ki he tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻe hiki hake ʻe he tangata kotoa pē hono nima kiate ia; pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kāinga kotoa pē.”
13 And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her, Thou art an all-seeing God; for she said, Have I not also seen here a vision after he appeared to me?
Pea naʻa ne ui ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova naʻe folofola kiate ia, “Ko e ʻOtua koe ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi au: he naʻa ne pehē, ‘He ʻikai foki kuo u siofia ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio kiate au?’”
14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlachai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bared.
Ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae vai ko ia, “ko Pea-Lehai-Loʻai;” vakai ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Ketesi mo Peleti.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Hekaʻā ʻae tama kia ʻEpalame; pea ui ʻe ʻEpalame hono foha, naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Hekaʻā, ko ʻIsimeʻeli.
16 And Abram was eighty and six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Pea naʻe valungofulu ma ono taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalame ʻi he fanauʻi ʻe Hekaʻā ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli kia ʻEpalame.
