Ebandeli 16

1 Sarayi, mwasi ya Abrami, abotelaki ye mwana te. Nzokande azalaki na mosali moko ya mwasi, moto ya Ejipito; kombo na ye « Agari. »

Nowe Sarai Abrams wife bare him no children, and she had a maide an Egyptian, Hagar by name.

2 Sarayi alobaki na Abrami: — Yawe apesi ngai mabota te. Kende, sangisa nzoto na mosali na ngai ya mwasi, tango mosusu nakotonga libota na nzela na ye. Abrami ayokaki maloba ya Sarayi.

And Sarai said vnto Abram, Beholde now, the Lord hath restrained me from childe bearing. I pray thee goe in vnto my maide: it may be that I shall receiue a childe by her. And Abram obeyed the voyce of Sarai.

3 Sima na mibu zomi, wana Abrami avandaki na Kanana, mwasi na ye Sarayi apesaki ye Agari, mosali na ye ya mwasi, moto ya Ejipito, mpo ete azala mwasi na ye.

Then Sarai Abrams wife tooke Hagar her maide the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelled ten yeere in the land of Canaan, and gaue her to her husband Abram for his wife.

4 Abrami asangisaki nzoto na Agari, mpe Agari akomaki na zemi. Tango Agari asosolaki ete akomi na zemi, akomaki kotiola Sarayi, nkolo na ye.

And he went in vnto Hagar, and she conceiued. and when she sawe that she had conceiued, her dame was despised in her eyes.

5 Boye, Sarayi alobaki na Abrami: — Ezali mpo na yo nde ngai nazali komona pasi ya boye; napesaki mosali na ngai ya mwasi na maboko na yo. Mpe sik’oyo lokola amoni ete azali na zemi, akomi kotiola ngai. Tika ete Yawe akata likambo kati na ngai mpe yo.

Then Sarai saide to Abram, Thou doest me wrong. I haue giuen my maide into thy bosome, and she seeth that she hath conceiued, and I am despised in her eyes: the Lord iudge betweene me and thee.

6 Abrami alobaki: — Mosali na yo azali na maboko na yo. Sala epai na ye nyonso oyo omoni malamu. Boye, Sarayi akomaki konyokola Agari mpe Agari akimaki mosika na ye.

Then Abram saide to Sarai, Beholde, thy maide is in thine hand: doe with her as it pleaseth thee. Then Sarai dealt roughly with her: wherefore she fled from her.

7 Anjelu ya Yawe amonaki Agari na esobe, pene ya etima oyo ezali na nzela ya Shuri.

But the Angel of the Lord founde her beside a fountaine of water in the wildernesse by the fountaine in the way to Shur,

8 Atunaki ye: — Agari, mosali ya Sarayi, owuti wapi mpe ozali kokende wapi? Azongisaki: — Nazali kokima mosika ya Sarayi, nkolo na ngai.

And he saide, Hagar Sarais maide, whence commest thou? and whither wilt thou goe? And she said, I flie from my dame Sarai.

9 Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na ye: — Zonga epai ya nkolo na yo mpe mikitisa liboso na ye.

Then the Angel of the Lord saide to her, Returne to thy dame, and humble thy selfe vnder her hands.

10 Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na ye lisusu: — Nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele penza mpe moto moko te akokoka kotanga bango.

Againe the Angel of the Lord saide vnto her, I will so greatly increase thy seede, that it shall not be numbred for multitude.

11 Alobaki na ye lisusu: — Ozali na zemi mpe okobota mwana mobali, okopesa ye kombo « Isimaeli, » pamba te Yawe ayoki yo, kati na mawa na yo.

Also the Angel of the Lord said vnto her, See, thou art with childe, and shalt beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Ishmael: for the Lord hath heard thy tribulation.

12 Akozala lokola ane ya zamba. Loboko na ye ekobundisa moto nyonso, mpe loboko ya moto nyonso ekobundisa ye; akovanda esika moko te na bandeko na ye.

And he shalbe a wilde man: his hande shall be against euery man, and euery mans hand against him. and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

13 Agari amitunaki: « Boni, namoni solo Nzambe oyo azali komona ngai? » Boye, Agari apesaki Yawe oyo asololaki na ye Kombo « Ata-Eli-Royi, » oyo elakisi: Nzambe oyo azali komona ngai.

Then she called the name of the Lord, that spake vnto her, Thou God lookest on me: for she said, Haue I not also here looked after him that seeth me?

14 Yango wana babengaka libulu ya mayi yango Beri Lakai-Royi. Libulu ya mayi yango ezali na kati-kati ya Kadeshi mpe Beredi.

Wherefore the well was called, Beerlahai-roi. lo, it is betweene Kadesh and Bered.

15 Boye, Agari abotelaki Abrami mwana mobali mpe Abrami apesaki ye kombo « Isimaeli. »

And Hagar bare Abram a sonne, and Abram called his sonnes name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

16 Abrami azalaki na mibu tuku mwambe na motoba ya mbotama tango Agari abotelaki ye Isimaeli.

And Abram was foure score and sixe yeere olde, when Hagar bare him Ishmael.
