< Genesis 16 >

1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children, but she had an Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar.
Ma Serai nwunye Ebram, amụtaghị nwa. Serai nwere odibo nwanyị onye Ijipt, aha ya bụ Hega.
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.
Ya mere ọ gwara Ebram sị, “Lee, ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị egbochiela m ịmụta ụmụ. Ugbu a, bakwuru nwanyị na-ejere m ozi. Ma eleghị anya, aga m esi na ya wulite ezinaụlọ m.” Ebram kweere ihe Serai kwuru.
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.
Ya mere Serai nwunye Ebram, duuru Hega, odibo nwanyị ya, onye Ijipt, dunye Ebram ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya. Ihe a mere na ngwụcha afọ iri site na mgbe Ebram bịara biri nʼala Kenan.
4 He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Ebram na Hega dinara. Hega tụụrụ ime. Ma mgbe Hega matara na ọ dịrịla ime, ọ malitere ileda nne ya ukwu bụ Serai anya.
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."
Mgbe ahụ, Serai gwara Ebram sị, “Ọ bụ gị butere ahụhụ a m nọ nʼime ya. Ọ bụ m were nwaodibo nwanyị m kunye gị nʼaka, ma ugbu a ọ hụrụ na ọ dị ime, abụrụla m onye ọ na-eleda anya. Ka Onyenwe anyị kpee ikpe a nʼetiti mụ na gị.”
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.
Ebram zara Serai sị, “Lee, ohu gị nwanyị dị gị nʼaka. Jiri ya mee ihe ọbụla dị gị mma nʼanya.” Nʼihi nke a, Serai mesiri ya ihe ike, nke mere ka o si nʼebe Serai nọ gbapụ.
7 And the angel of God found her by a spring of water in the desert, by the spring on the way to Shur.
Ma mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ya nʼakụkụ isi iyi mmiri dị nʼọzara, nʼakụkụ ụzọ Shua,
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."
jụọ ya sị, “Hega, ohu nwanyị Serai, olee ebe i si bịa, olee ebe ka ị na-ejekwa?” Hega zara sị, “Ọ bụ site nʼihu nne m ukwu Serai ka m na-agba ọsọ.”
9 The angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority."
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị gwara ya sị, “Laghachikwuru nne gị ukwu. Doo onwe gị nʼokpuru ya.”
10 The angel of the LORD said to her, "I will greatly multiply your descendants, so that they will be too numerous to count."
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị sịkwa ya, “Aga m amụba ụmụ gị, ka a hapụ inwe ike ịgụta ole ha dị.”
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.
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị gwakwara ya sị, “Ị dị ime ugbu a, ị ga-amụ nwa nwoke. Aha ị ga-agụ ya bụ Ishmel nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anụla maka nhụju anya gị.
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."
Nwoke dịka ịnyịnya ibu a na-azụghị azụ ka ọ ga-abụ. Ọ ga-emegide onye ọbụla, onye ọbụla ga-emegidekwa ya. Ọ ga-ebi nʼime ibu iro, megide ụmụnna ya niile.”
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."
Hega kpọkuru aha Onyenwe anyị, onye gwara ya okwu sị, “Ị bụ Chineke m na-ahụ m.” Nʼihi na Hega kwuru sị, “Ahụla m, ugbu a, onye ahụ na-ahụ m.”
14 Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Look, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Ọ bụ ya mere e ji na-akpọ olulu mmiri ahụ, Bịa-Lahai-Rọị. Ọ ka dị ebe ahụ, nʼetiti Kadesh na Bered.
15 Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Emesịa, Hega mụtaara Ebram nwa nwoke. Ebram kpọrọ nwa nwoke ahụ Hega mụtaara ya Ishmel.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Ebram gbara iri afọ asatọ na isii mgbe Hega mụtaara ya Ishmel.
