Genesis 16
1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children, but she had an Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar.
Vi aɖeke menɔ Sarai kple Abram si o. Ke Egipte nyɔnudɔla aɖe nɔ Sarai si. Eŋkɔe nye Hagar.
2 Sarai said to Abram, "Look now, God has prevented me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her." Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
Ale Sarai gblɔ na Abram be, “Yehowa te vim. Yi nàdɔ nye kosi gbɔ, ɖewohĩ mado ƒome to edzi.” Abram lɔ̃ ɖe nya si Sarai gblɔ la dzi.
3 So Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.
Ale esi Abram nɔ Kanaan ƒe ewo megbe la, srɔ̃a, Sarai, tsɔ eƒe Egipte kosi, Hagar na srɔ̃ŋutsua be wòanye srɔ̃a.
4 He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Ale Abram dɔ Hagar gbɔ, eye wòfɔ fu. Esi Hagar kpɔ be yefɔ fu la, dadagbɔgbɔ aɖe va ɖo eme, eye megabua eƒe aƒenɔ Sarai o.
5 Sarai said to Abram, "This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, she despised me. God judge between me and you."
Le esia ta Sarai gblɔ na Abram be, “Wò vodadae na be nye kosi la doa vlom, togbɔ be nye ŋutɔe tsɔe na wò hã. Yehowa nadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le nye kpli wò dome.”
6 But Abram said to Sarai, "Look, your servant is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your sight." Sarai dealt harshly with her, so she fled from her presence.
Abram ɖo eŋu be, “Meɖe mɔ na wò be nàhe to na kosi la ale si nèbu be edze.” Ale Sarai wɔ funyafunya Hagar ale gbegbe be wòsi dzo.
7 And the angel of God found her by a spring of water in the desert, by the spring on the way to Shur.
Yehowa ƒe dɔla aɖe kpɔe wòtsi tsitre ɖe vudo aɖe to le Sur mɔ dzi.
8 And he said, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where did you come from, and where are you going?" And she said, "I am running away from the presence of my mistress Sarai."
Ale wòbiae be, “Hagar, Sarai ƒe kosi, afi ka nètso, eye afi ka yim nèle?” Hagar ɖo eŋu be, “Sisim mele le nye aƒenɔ nu.”
9 The angel of Jehovah said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority."
Yehowa ƒe dɔla la yi edzi gblɔ nɛ be, “Trɔ nàyi wò aƒenɔ gbɔ, eye nàbɔbɔ ɖokuiwò nɛ,
10 The angel of Jehovah said to her, "I will greatly multiply your descendants, so that they will be too numerous to count."
elabena mana dukɔ gã aɖe nado tso mewò.
11 Then the angel of God said to her, "Look, you are with child, and will bear a son. You are to name him Ishmael, because God has heard your affliction.
Fifia, èfɔ fu; àdzi ŋutsuvi. Na ŋkɔe be Ismael, si gɔmee nye, ‘Mawu see,’ elabena Yehowa se wò konyifafa.
12 He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. And he will live away from all of his brothers."
Viwò sia anye vi dzeaglã aɖe, eye wòawɔ nu glalaglalã abe tedzi dzeaglã ene! Atsi tsitre ɖe ame sia ame ŋu, eye nenema ke ame sia ame hã atsi tsitre ɖe eŋu. Ke hã la, anɔ teƒe ɖeka kple nɔvia bubuawo.”
13 And she called his name, the one who spoke to her, "You are El Roi," for she said, "Here I have seen the one who sees me."
Hagar bia eɖokui be, “Ɖe mekpɔ Mawu ŋkume kple ŋkume hafi gale agbe be maƒo nu tso eŋua?” Eya ta eyɔ Yehowa ame si ƒo nu kpli la be, “Mawu si kpɔa nu.”
14 Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Look, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Emegbe la, wona ŋkɔ vudo ma be Beer Lahai Roi si gɔmee nye, “Ame si le agbe, eye wòkpɔm la ƒe vudo.” Ele Kades kple Bered dome.
15 Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Hagar dzi ŋutsuvi na Abram, eye Abram na ŋkɔe be Ismael.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Abram xɔ ƒe blaenyi-vɔ-ade esi Hagar dzi Ismael nɛ.
