Jenesis 16
1 Ma Serai nwunye Ebram, amụtaghị nwa. Serai nwere odibo nwanyị onye Ijipt, aha ya bụ Hega.
Pea ko Selai, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalame, naʻe ʻikai siʻi haʻane fānau; ka naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kaunanga, ko e fefine ʻIsipite, ko Hekaʻā hono hingoa.
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.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Selai kia ʻEpalame, “Vakai mai, kuo taʻofi au ʻe Sihova, ke ʻoua naʻaku fānau; pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate koe, ke ke ʻalu ki heʻeku kaunanga; heiʻilo te u maʻu ʻae fānau ʻiate ia. Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa ʻEpalame ki he lea ʻa Selai.
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.
Pea ʻave ʻe Selai, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalame, ʻene kaunanga ko Hekaʻā ko e ʻIsipite ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki hono husepāniti ko ʻEpalame ke uaifi ʻaki, hili ʻenau nofo ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia kia Hekaʻā, pea feitama ia; pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo ia ʻoku ne feitama, naʻa ne taukaeʻi hono ʻeiki fefine ʻi hono mata.
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.”
Pea pehē ʻe Selai kia ʻEpalame, “Ke ʻiate koe ʻeku mamahi: Naʻaku foaki ʻeku kaunanga ki ho fatafata: pea kuo mamata ia kuo feitama, peau kovi leva ʻi hono mata: ke fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻiate kitaua.”
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.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEpalame kia Selai, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima hoʻo kaunanga; ke ke fai kiate ia hoʻo faʻiteliha.” Pea ʻi he fai fakamālohi ʻe Selai kiate ia, naʻa ne hola ia mei hono ʻao.
7 Ma mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ya nʼakụkụ isi iyi mmiri dị nʼọzara, nʼakụkụ ụzọ Shua,
Pea ʻilo ia ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻo ofi ki ha vai ʻi he toafa, ʻae vai ʻoku ʻi he hala ki Sua.
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.”
Pea ne pehē, “Hekaʻā, ko e kaunanga ʻa Selai, Kuo ke haʻu mei fē? Pea te ke ʻalu ki fē?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou hola mei he ʻao ʻo ʻeku fineʻeiki ko Selai.”
9 Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị gwara ya sị, “Laghachikwuru nne gị ukwu. Doo onwe gị nʼokpuru ya.”
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia. “Toe ʻalu ki ho fineʻeiki, mo ke fakavaivaiʻi koe kiate ia.”
10 Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị sịkwa ya, “Aga m amụba ụmụ gị, ka a hapụ inwe ike ịgụta ole ha dị.”
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Te u fakatupu ho hako ke tokolahi ʻaupito, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa lau hono tokolahi.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ke feitama, pea te ke fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama, pea te ke ui hono hingoa ko ʻIsimeʻeli; “he kuo ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo mamahi.”
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.”
Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e tangata hehengi; ʻe hiki hake ʻe ia hono nima ki he tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻe hiki hake ʻe he tangata kotoa pē hono nima kiate ia; pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kāinga kotoa pē.”
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.”
Pea naʻa ne ui ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova naʻe folofola kiate ia, “Ko e ʻOtua koe ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi au: he naʻa ne pehē, ‘He ʻikai foki kuo u siofia ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio kiate au?’”
14 Ọ bụ ya mere e ji na-akpọ olulu mmiri ahụ, Bịa-Lahai-Rọị. Ọ ka dị ebe ahụ, nʼetiti Kadesh na Bered.
Ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae vai ko ia, “ko Pea-Lehai-Loʻai;” vakai ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Ketesi mo Peleti.
15 Emesịa, Hega mụtaara Ebram nwa nwoke. Ebram kpọrọ nwa nwoke ahụ Hega mụtaara ya Ishmel.
Pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Hekaʻā ʻae tama kia ʻEpalame; pea ui ʻe ʻEpalame hono foha, naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Hekaʻā, ko ʻIsimeʻeli.
16 Ebram gbara iri afọ asatọ na isii mgbe Hega mụtaara ya Ishmel.
Pea naʻe valungofulu ma ono taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalame ʻi he fanauʻi ʻe Hekaʻā ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli kia ʻEpalame.
