Mose 1 16
1 Vi aɖeke menɔ Sarai kple Abram si o. Ke Egipte nyɔnudɔla aɖe nɔ Sarai si. Eŋkɔe nye Hagar.
Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had not conceived children. But, having an Egyptian handmaid named Hagar,
2 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.
she said to her husband: “Behold, the Lord has closed me, lest I give birth. Enter to my handmaid, so that perhaps I may receive sons of her at least.” And when he agreed to her supplication,
3 Ale esi Abram nɔ Kanaan ƒe ewo megbe la, srɔ̃a, Sarai, tsɔ eƒe Egipte kosi, Hagar na srɔ̃ŋutsua be wòanye srɔ̃a.
she took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, ten years after they began to live in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to her husband as a wife.
4 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.
And he entered to her. But when she saw that she had conceived, she despised her mistress.
5 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.”
And Sarai said to Abram: “You have acted unfairly against me. I gave my handmaid into your bosom, who, when she saw that she had conceived, held me in contempt. May the Lord judge between me and you.”
6 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.
Abram responded to her by saying, “Behold, your handmaid is in your hand to treat as it pleases you.” And so, when Sarai afflicted her, she took flight.
7 Yehowa ƒe dɔla aɖe kpɔe wòtsi tsitre ɖe vudo aɖe to le Sur mɔ dzi.
And when the Angel of the Lord had found her, near the fountain of water in the wilderness, which is on the way to Shur in the desert,
8 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.”
he said to her: “Hagar, handmaid of Sarai, where have you come from? And where will you go?” And she answered, “I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.”
9 Yehowa ƒe dɔla la yi edzi gblɔ nɛ be, “Trɔ nàyi wò aƒenɔ gbɔ, eye nàbɔbɔ ɖokuiwò nɛ,
And the Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand.”
10 elabena mana dukɔ gã aɖe nado tso mewò.
And again he said, “I will multiply your offspring continuously, and they will not be numbered because of their multitude.”
11 Fifia, èfɔ fu; àdzi ŋutsuvi. Na ŋkɔe be Ismael, si gɔmee nye, ‘Mawu see,’ elabena Yehowa se wò konyifafa.
But thereafter he said: “Behold, you have conceived, and you will give birth to a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your affliction.
12 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.”
He will be a wild man. His hand will be against all, and all hands will be against him. And he will pitch his tents away from the region of all his brothers.”
13 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.”
Then she called upon the name of the Lord who had spoken to her: “You are the God who has seen me.” For she said, “Certainly, here I have seen the back of the one who sees me.”
14 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.
Because of this, she called that well: ‘The well of the one who lives and who sees me.’ The same is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Hagar dzi ŋutsuvi na Abram, eye Abram na ŋkɔe be Ismael.
And Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram, who called his name Ishmael.
16 Abram xɔ ƒe blaenyi-vɔ-ade esi Hagar dzi Ismael nɛ.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael for him.
