Jenesis 16

1 Abramu nenaro agi'a Saraikino, mofavre onte narvo a' mani'ne. Hagi Isipi mopareti Sarai'a eri'za mofa'a Haga avregeno eri'zama'a enerino mani'ne.

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 Sarai'a amanage huno Abramuna asami'ne, Kama antahio. Ra Anumzamo'a mofavre kuni'a erigige'na mofavre kaseontoanki, vunka eri'za a'ni'ane umasegeno agripinti mago'a mofavrezaga eri fore hunamino, huno higeno Abramu'a a'amofonke antahino ana hu'ne.

[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 Hagi Abramu'ma Kenani mopare 10ni'a zagegafu manitegeno, Hagana Isipiti'ma avre'nea eri'za mofara Abramuna nenaro'za hanie huno Sarai'a avre ami'ne.

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 Higeno Abramu'a Hagana anteno masegeno, Haga'ma keno antahino'ma hiana amu'enema nehuno'a, kva'a Saraina ke azanava hu'ne.

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 Hagi Sarai'a amanage huno Abramuna kesu'ne, Kagra haviza hu'nankeno eri'za a'mo'a antahi haviza hunenanteno avesinonante. E'i ana knazamo'a nagritetira kagrite vugahie. Nagra eri'za a'nia avre kamugenka antenka mase'nankeno amu'ene huteno antahi haviza hunenante. Kagra havizana hu'nampi, Nagra havizana hu'nofi, Ra Anumzamoke nerageno refko hurantegahie.

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 Hianagi Abramu'a amanage huno Saraina asami'ne, Antahio, knareki kagri eri'za a' mani'neanki kagri'ma kavesisaniaza hunto, huno higeno Sarai'a tusiza huno Hagana azanava higeno koro freno vu'ne.

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 Freno Suri kumatega nevia kamofo kampui ti me'nere ka'ma mopafi umani'ne. Anante Ra Anumza'mofo ankeromo eme negeno,

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 anage hu'ne, Hagaga, Sarai eri'za a'moka igati ne-enka, iga vu'za nehane? huno higeno, Saraima eri'zama'ama eri nentoa a'mofo kvafinti fre'na e'noe.

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 Higeno Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Rukrahe hunka vunka, umani'nenka ke'amofo amage antenka eri'zama'a omerinto,

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

10 huno nehuno anage hu'ne, Nagra kazeri ra ha'nena kagehe'za ohampriga'a vahe fore hugahaze.

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 Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a mago'ene huno, Kamu'ene hunankeno kna kavenesigenka ke hankeno Anumzamo'a antahi'negu ne'mofavre kasentenka ana mofavremofo agi'a Ismaeli'e hunka antegahane.

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 Hagi mofavre ka'amo'a ra huteno, afi' donki afu kna huno manigahie. Hagi agra mika vahera nezmahenke'za agrira ahegahaze. Afu agna'zanena fru huno omanigosie.

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 Hanki Haga'a ke humia Ra Anumzamofo agi neheno amanage hu'ne, Kagra nenagana Anumzane, na'ankure nagra kagoanagi ofri mani'noe.

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 Ana hu'negu ana tinkerimofo agi'a Bir Lahai Roie hu'ne. Ana tinkerimo'a Beretine, Kadesine amunozanifi me'neankino, menina me'ne.

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 Hanki Haga'a ne' kasentegeno, Abramu'a ana mofavre agi'a Ismaeli'e huno agi'a ante'ne.

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

16 Abramu'a 86'a zagegafu manitegeno Haga'a Ismaelina kasente'ne.

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