Kinohi 16

1 O SARAI ka wahine a Aberama, aole ia i hanau keiki nana: a ia ia kekahi kauwawahine no Aigupita, o Hagara kona inoa.

Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar.

2 I mai la o Sarai ia Aberama, Aia hoi, ua pa wau ia Iehova; ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e komo ae oe iloko i ka'u kauwawahine, i loaa paha ia'u na keiki ma o na la. Hoolohe aku la o Aberama i ka leo o Sarai.

[So one day] Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So (sleep with/have sex with) [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said.

3 Lalau aku la o Sarai o ka wahine a Aberama ia Hagara i kana kauwawahine no Aigupita, i ka umi o ka makahiki a Aberama i noho ai ma ka aina o Kanaana, a haawi mai la ia ia i wahine na kana kane na Aberama.

So Abram (slept with/had sex with) Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan [land]. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife.

4 Komo aku la ia iloko io Hagara la, a ko ae la ia: a ike iho la ia ua ko, ua hoowahawahaia kona hakuwahine imua o kona maka.

He (slept with/had sex with) [EUP] Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress Sarai.

5 I mai la o Sarai ia Aberama, Iluna iho ou ko'u hoinoia: ua haawi aku au i ka'u kauwawahine iloko o kou poli; a ike iho la ia, na ko oia, hoowahawahaia no au e ia: e hooponopono mai o Iehova mawaena o kaua.

Then Sarai said to Abram, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to me!”

6 I aku la o Aberama ia Sarai, Aia hoi, iloko no o kou lima kau kauwawahine, e hana aku oe ia ia e like me kou makemake. A hoopilikia aku la o Sarai ia ia, mahuka aku la ia mai kona alo aku.

So Abram said to Sarai, “[You listen to me]! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai.

7 A loaa oia i ka anela o Iehova ma ka punawai iloko o ka waonahele, ma ka punawai o ke alanui e hele ai i Sura.

An angel of Yahweh found her as she was near a spring of water in the desert. It was the spring that was alongside the road to Shur.

8 I mai la ia, E Hagara, e ke kauwawahine a Sarai, no hea mai oe? e hele ana hoi oe ihea? I aku la kela, Ke mahuka aku nei au mai ke alo o ko'u hakuwahine, mai o Sarai aku.

He said to her, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I have run away from Sarai, my mistress.”

9 Olelo mai la ka anela o Iehova ia ia, E hoi hou oe i kou hakuwahine, a e noho iho oe malalo o kona mau lima.

The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.

10 I mai la hoi ka anela o Iehova ia ia, E hoonui loa no wau i kau poe mamo, aole lakou e hiki ke heluia no ka lehulehu.

The angel also said to her, “I will enable you to bear so many descendants that no one will be able to count them!”

11 I mai la hoi ka anela o Iehova ia ia, Aia hoi, ua hapai oe, a e hanau mai no oe i keikikane, a e kapa oe i kona inoa o Isemaela; no ka mea, ua lohe no o Iehova i kou popilikia.

The angel also said to her, “[Listen to this!] You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, [which means ‘God hears]’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.

12 E lilo auanei ia i kanaka hihiu, e ku e aku no kona lima i na kanaka a pau, a e ku e mai no hoi ka lima o na kanaka a pau ia ia: a e noho auanei no ia ma ke alo o kona poe hoahanau a pau.

But your son will be as uncontrollable as a wild donkey [MET]. He will oppose everyone, and everyone will oppose him [MTY]. He will live far away from his relatives [SYN].”

13 Kapa aku la ia i ka inoa o Iehova nana i olelo mai ia ia, O oe e ke Akua ka mea i ike mai ia'u: no ka mea, i iho la ia, Ua imi aku no anei au i ka Mea ike mai ia'u?

Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “(It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?)” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’.

14 Nolaila, ua kapaia ua punawai la, o Beeralahairoi: aia no ia mawaena o Kadesa a o Bereda.

That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, [which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’!] It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Hanau mai la o Hagara i keikikane na Aberama: kapa aku la o Aberama i ka inoa o kana keiki a Hagara i hanau ai, o Isemaela.

So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.

16 He kanawalukumamaono na makahiki o Aberama, i ka wa a Hagara i hanau ai ia Isemaela na Aberama.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
