Jenesis 16
1 Ma Serai nwunye Ebram, amụtaghị nwa. Serai nwere odibo nwanyị onye Ijipt, aha ya bụ Hega.
And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him [children]. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar.
2 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.
And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has shut me up, that I do not bear. Go in, I pray thee, to my maidservant: it may be that I shall be built up by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3 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.
And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of ten years that Abram had dwelt in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram, as his wife.
4 Ebram na Hega dinara. Hega tụụrụ ime. Ma mgbe Hega matara na ọ dịrịla ime, ọ malitere ileda nne ya ukwu bụ Serai anya.
And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was lightly esteemed in her eyes.
5 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.”
And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on thee! I have given my maidservant into thy bosom; and now she sees that she has conceived, I am lightly esteemed in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee!
6 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.
And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maidservant is in thy hand: do to her what is good in thine eyes. And Sarai oppressed her; and she fled from her face.
7 Ma mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ya nʼakụkụ isi iyi mmiri dị nʼọzara, nʼakụkụ ụzọ Shua,
And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
8 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.”
And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maidservant, whence comest thou? and whither art thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị gwara ya sị, “Laghachikwuru nne gị ukwu. Doo onwe gị nʼokpuru ya.”
And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị sịkwa ya, “Aga m amụba ụmụ gị, ka a hapụ inwe ike ịgụta ole ha dị.”
And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 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.
And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath hearkened to thy affliction.
12 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.”
And he will be a wild-ass of a man, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell before the face of all his brethren.
13 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.”
And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou art the God who reveals himself, for she said, Also here have I seen after he has revealed himself.
14 Ọ bụ ya mere e ji na-akpọ olulu mmiri ahụ, Bịa-Lahai-Rọị. Ọ ka dị ebe ahụ, nʼetiti Kadesh na Bered.
Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Emesịa, Hega mụtaara Ebram nwa nwoke. Ebram kpọrọ nwa nwoke ahụ Hega mụtaara ya Ishmel.
And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 Ebram gbara iri afọ asatọ na isii mgbe Hega mụtaara ya Ishmel.
And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
