Genesis 16

1 And Sarai, Abram’s wife, has not borne to him, and she has a handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name [is] 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 and Sarai says to Abram, “Now behold, YHWH has restrained me from bearing, please go in to my handmaid; perhaps I am built up from her”; and Abram listens to the voice of Sarai.

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 And Sarai, Abram’s wife, takes Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, at the end of the tenth year of Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gives her to her husband Abram—to him for a wife,

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 and he goes in to Hagar, and she conceives, and she sees that she has conceived, and her mistress is lightly esteemed in her eyes.

Ahni ni Hagar a ikhai teh camo a vawn. Camo vawn tie a kâpanue torei teh a bawinu hah a hnephnap.

5 And Sarai says to Abram, “My violence [is] for you; I have given my handmaid into your bosom, and she sees that she has conceived, and I am lightly esteemed in her eyes; YHWH judges between me and you.”

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 And Abram says to Sarai, “Behold, your handmaid [is] in your hand, do to her that which is good in your eyes”; and Sarai afflicted her, and she flees from her presence.

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 And the Messenger of YHWH finds her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way [to] Shur,

BAWIPA e kalvantami ni Shur kho lah ceinae kahrawngum lam teng tuiphuek teng vah a hmu.

8 and He says, “Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, from where have you come, and to where do you go?” And she says, “From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.”

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 And the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hands”;

BAWIPA e kalvantaminaw, na bawinu koe bout ban nateh a kut rahim awm pouh loe telah atipouh.

10 and the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Multiplying I multiply your seed, and it is not numbered from multitude”;

BAWIPA e kalvantami ni, na canaw moikapap ka pungdaw sak vaiteh na touklek thai mahoeh telah atipouh.

11 and the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Behold you [are] conceiving, and bearing a son, and have called his name Ishmael, for YHWH has listened to your affliction;

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 and he is a wild-donkey man, his hand against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him—and before the face of all his brothers he dwells.”

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 And she calls the Name of YHWH who is speaking to her, “You [are], O God, my beholder”; for she said, “Even here have I looked behind my beholder?”

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 Therefore has one called the well, “The well of the Living One, my beholder”; behold, between Kadesh and Bered.

Hatdawkvah, tuikhu teh Beerlahairoi telah a phung. Hote teh Kadesh hoi Bered kho rahak vah ao.

15 And Hagar bears a son to Abram; and Abram calls the name of his son, whom Hagar has borne, 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 and Abram [is] a son of eighty-six years in Hagar’s bearing Ishmael to Abram.

Hagar ni Abram hanelah Ishmael a khe pouh navah Abram teh kum 86 touh a pha.
