Kĩambĩrĩria 16
1 Na rĩrĩ, Sarai mũtumia wa Aburamu ndaamũciarĩire ciana. No nĩ aarĩ na mũirĩtu Mũmisiri wamũtungatagĩra wetagwo Hagari;
And Sarai, Abram’s wife, has not borne to him, and she has a handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name [is] Hagar;
2 tondũ ũcio Sarai akĩĩra Aburamu atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩagirĩtie ngĩe na ciana. Thiĩ ũkome na ndungata yakwa ya mũirĩtu; hihi kwahoteka ngĩe na rũciaro nĩ ũndũ wake.” Nake Aburamu agĩĩtĩkania na ũrĩa Sarai oigire.
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.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, thuutha wa Aburamu gũkorwo atũũrĩte Kaanani mĩaka ikũmi-rĩ, mũtumia wake Sarai akĩoya Hagari Mũmisiri ũrĩa warĩ ndungata yake ya mũirĩtu, akĩmũneana kũrĩ mũthuuriwe atuĩke mũtumia wake.
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,
4 Nake Aburamu agĩkoma na Hagari, nake akĩgĩa nda. Na rĩrĩa aamenyire atĩ nĩagĩĩte nda-rĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũnyarara Sarai mwathi wake.
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.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Sarai akĩĩra Aburamu atĩrĩ, “Ũũru ũyũ ũrathĩĩnia-rĩ, ũrogũcookerera arĩ we. Ndaneanire ndungata yakwa moko-inĩ maku, na rĩu tondũ nĩĩmenyete atĩ ĩrĩ na nda, no kũũnyarara. Jehova arotũtuithania niĩ nawe.”
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.”
6 Aburamu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata yaku ĩrĩ moko-inĩ maku. Ĩka nayo ũrĩa ũkuona kwagĩrĩire.” Nake Sarai akĩnyamaria Hagari mũno; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hagari akĩmũũrĩra.
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.
7 Mũraika wa Jehova agĩkora Hagari hakuhĩ na handũ haatherũkaga maaĩ werũ-inĩ; gathima kau kaarĩ mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra ĩrĩa ya gũthiĩ Shuri.
And the Messenger of YHWH finds her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way [to] Shur,
8 Mũraika akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Hagari ndungata ya Sarai, uuma kũ na wathiĩ kũ?” Hagari akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũũrĩra ndĩroorĩra Sarai ũrĩa mwathi wakwa.”
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.”
9 Ningĩ mũraika wa Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Cooka kũrĩ mũtumia ũcio mwathi waku na ũmwĩnyiihĩrie.”
And the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hands”;
10 Ningĩ mũraika agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngaingĩhia njiaro ciaku ũndũ itagaatarĩka.”
and the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Multiplying I multiply your seed, and it is not numbered from multitude”;
11 Mũraika wa Jehova ningĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Rĩu ũrĩ na nda, na nĩũgaciara kaana ga kahĩĩ, na ũgaagatua Ishumaeli. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩaiguĩte ũhoro wa mĩnyamaro yaku.
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;
12 Mũrũguo agaatuĩka wa mbũrũrũ ta ndigiri ya gĩthaka; guoko gwake gũgookagĩrĩra andũ othe, nao andũ othe mamũũkagĩrĩre: agaatũũra na ũthũ na ariũ a ithe othe.”
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.”
13 Nake Hagari akĩhe Jehova ũcio wamwarĩirie rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ: “Wee nĩwe Ngai ũrĩa ũnyonaga,” nĩgũkorwo oigire atĩrĩ, “Rĩu niĩ ndĩkuona Ũrĩa ũnyonaga.”
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?”
14 Nĩkĩo gĩthima kĩu gĩetirwo Biri-Lahai-Roi, na kĩrĩ o ho, kũu gatagatĩ ga Kadeshi na Beredi.
Therefore has one called the well, “The well of the Living One, my beholder”; behold, between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hagari agĩciarĩra Aburamu mwana wa kahĩĩ, nake Aburamu agĩtua kaana kau aaciarĩirwo Ishumaeli.
And Hagar bears a son to Abram; and Abram calls the name of his son, whom Hagar has borne, Ishmael;
16 Aburamu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana na ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa Hagari aamũciarĩire Ishumaeli.
and Abram [is] a son of eighty-six years in Hagar’s bearing Ishmael to Abram.
