Genesis 16

1 Sarai, mutan kial Abram, el tiana isus tulik nu sel Abram. Tusruktu oasr mutan kulansap lal, mutan fusr Egypt se pangpang Hagar.

Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

2 Ouinge Sarai el fahk nu sel Abram, “LEUM GOD El tia lela in oasr tulik nutik. Kom ku tia tari ona yurin mutan kulansap luk? Sahp el ac ku in aolyula oswela sie tulik ah.” Abram el insese nu ke ma Sarai el fahk nu sel.

Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

3 Ke ma inge Sarai el eisalang Hagar nu sel Abram tuh elan mutan kulansap kial. (Ma se inge sikyak tukun Abram el muta yac singoul in acn Canaan.)

Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.

4 Abram el ona yorol Hagar, ac el pitutuyak. Ke Hagar el etauk lah el pitutu, el inse fulatak ac kwaselak Sarai.

He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

5 Sarai el fahk nu sel Abram, “Kom pa pwanang Hagar el srungayu uh. Nga tuh sifacna eisalot nu sum, tuh tukunna el konauk lah el pitutu ah, el nuna kwaseyu na. Lela LEUM GOD Elan aksuwosye lah su kac pwaye se uh — kom ku nga!”

Sarai said to Abram, “This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, she despised me. May the LORD judge between me and you.”

6 Abram el topuk ac fahk, “Lungse na lom. Kom na pa nununkal an. Oru na ma kom lungse oru nu sel an.” Ouinge Sarai el oru arulana upa nu sel Hagar, pwanang Hagar el kaingla.

But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

7 Lipufan lun LEUM GOD el sonol Hagar sisken sie unon in kof yen mwesis inkanek nu Shur

The LORD’s angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

8 ac fahk, “Hagar, mutan kulansap lal Sarai, kom tuku oya me, ac kom ac som nu ya?” Ac Hagar el fahk, “Nga kaingla liki mutan kacto luk.”

He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where did you come from? Where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.”

9 Na lipufan sac fahk, “Folokla nu yorol ac kulansap na nu sel.”

The LORD’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.”

10 Na lipufan sac sifilpa fahk, “Nga ac fah arulana akpusye fwilin tulik nutum, ac wangin sie mwet ac ku in oakalosla.

The LORD’s angel said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.”

11 Kom ac fah oswela wen se, ac kom fah sang inel Ishmael, mweyen LEUM GOD El lipsrala pusren tung ac asor lom.

The LORD’s angel said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your affliction.

12 Tusruktu wen nutum el ac fah moul oana donkey lemnak soko. El ac fah lain mwet nukewa, ac mwet nukewa ac fah lainul. El ac fah muta srengla liki sou lal nukewa.

He will be like a wild donkey amongst men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposed to all of his brothers.”

13 Hagar el siyuk sel sifacna, “Ku pwayena lah ngan liye God ac moul na in srumun kac?” Ouinge el pangon LEUM GOD su sramsram nu sel “Sie God Su Liye.”

She called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”

14 Pa inge sripa se oru mwet uh pangon lufin kof se inmasrlon Kadesh ac Bered, “Lufin Kof Lun El Su Moul Ac Liyeyu.”

Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Hagar el oswela wen se nu sel Abram, ac Abram el sang inel Ishmael.

Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

16 Abram el yac oalngoul onkosr ke pacl sac.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
