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;
Salaayi mukyala wa Ibulaamu yali teyamuzaalira mwana;
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.
Salaayi n’agamba Ibulaamu nti, “Laba Mukama tampadde mwana; weebake n’omuweereza wange, oboolyawo nnyinza okufuna abaana mu ye.” Awo Ibulaamu n’awulira eddoboozi lya Salaayi.
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,
Bw’atyo Ibulaamu bwe yali yaakamala emyaka kkumi mu nsi ya Kanani, Salaayi mukazi we n’addira Agali Omumisiri, omuweereza we n’amuwa Ibulaamu abeere mukazi we.
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.
Ibulaamu ne yeegatta ne Agali, Agali n’aba olubuto. Agali bwe yalaba ng’ali lubuto, n’anyooma Salaayi, mugole we.
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.”
Salaayi n’agamba Ibulaamu nti, “Ekibi ekinkoleddwako kibeere ku ggwe. Nakuwa omuweereza wange mu kifuba kyo naye bw’alabye ng’ali lubuto n’annyooma. Mukama atulamule nze naawe!”
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.
Naye Ibulaamu n’agamba Salaayi nti, “Laba, omuweereza wo ali mu buyinza bwo; mukole nga bw’oyagala.” Awo Salaayi natandika okubonyaabonya Agali; Agali n’adduka okuva w’ali.
7 And the Messenger of YHWH finds her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way [to] Shur,
Malayika wa Mukama n’amusanga ku nsulo y’amazzi mu ddungu, ensulo y’amazzi eri ku kkubo eriraga e Ssuuli.
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.”
N’agamba nti, “Agali, omuweereza wa Salaayi, ovudde wa era ogenda wa?” N’amuddamu nti, “Nziruka mugole wange Salaayi.”
9 And the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hands”;
Malayika wa Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Ddayo eri mugole wo omugondere.”
10 and the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Multiplying I multiply your seed, and it is not numbered from multitude”;
Era Malayika n’amugamba nti, “Ezadde lyo ndiryaza waleme kubeerawo asobola kulibala.”
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;
Ate malayika wa Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Laba, olina omwana mu nda yo, aliba wabulenzi, olimutuuma Isimayiri, kubanga Mukama ategedde okubonaabona kwo.
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.”
Aliba ng’entulege, anaalwananga na buli muntu era na buli muntu anaalwananga naye, era anaabanga mu bulabe ne baganda be.”
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?”
Awo n’akoowoola erinnya lya Mukama eyayogera naye, n’agamba nti, “Oli Katonda alaba”, kubanga yagamba nti, “Ndabidde ddala Katonda ne nsigala nga ndi mulamu nga maze okumulaba.”
14 Therefore has one called the well, “The well of the Living One, my beholder”; behold, between Kadesh and Bered.
Oluzzi kye lwava luyitibwa Beerirakayiro, luli wakati wa Kadesi ne Beredi.
15 And Hagar bears a son to Abram; and Abram calls the name of his son, whom Hagar has borne, Ishmael;
Awo Agali n’azaalira Ibulaamu omwana owoobulenzi, Ibulaamu n’atuuma mutabani wa Agali gwe yamuzaalira, erinnya Isimayiri.
16 and Abram [is] a son of eighty-six years in Hagar’s bearing Ishmael to Abram.
Ibulaamu yali wa myaka kinaana mu mukaaga Agali bwe yamuzaalira Isimayiri.
