Genesisy 16
1 Ie amy zao, mbe tsy nahatoly anake ho aze t’i Sarae, vali’ i Avrame, f’ie aman’ ondevo nte-Mitsraime atao Khagare,
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 aa le hoe t’i Sarae amy Avrame, Heheke henaneo te kinala’ Iehovà Iraho tsy hiterake. Ehe, mimoaha amy fetrek’ orokoy, kera hahasavereña’e. Niantofa’ i Avrame ty enta’ i Sarae.
[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 Aa naho fa nimoneñe e Kanàne folo taoñe t’i Avrame, le nala’ i Sarae vali’e t’i Khagare mpitoro’e vaho natolo’e amy vali’ey hialoza’e.
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 Le nimoaha’e t’i Khagare, vaho niareñe. Aa ie nahafohiñe te nivesatse le nisirikae’ o maso’eo i tompo’ey.
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 Le hoe t’i Sarae amy Avrame, Boak’ ama’o ty fisotriako. Napoko am-pità’o i mpitorokoy, aa kanao apota’e te mivesatse, le sirikaeñe a-maso’eo iraho. Ee te hizaka añivon-tika t’Iehovà.
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 An-taña’o i mpitoro’oy, hoe t’i Avrame. Ano ama’e ze no’ ty tro’o. Aa le nampisoañe’ i Sarae t’i Khagare vaho nibotatsake amy fiatrefa’ey re.
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 Tendrek’amy Khagare t’i anjeli’ Iehovà marine ty rano migoangoañe an-dratraratra añe, ty figoangoan-drano an-dalañe mb’e Sore mb’eo.
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 Le hoe re, O Khagare, mpitoro’ i Sarae, boak’ aia v’iheo vaho homb’aia? Hoe re, Milay an‑dahara’ i tompoko Saraey iraho.
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 Aa hoe ty anjeli’ Iehovà ama’e, Mimpolia mb’amy tompo’oy vaho miambanea am-pità’eo.
The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
10 Hoe ka ty anjeli’ Iehovà ama’e, Toe hampitomboako o tarira’oo kanao tsy ho hay iaheñe ami’ty fangitsikitsiha’e.
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 Le hoe ty anjeli’ Iehovà ama’e, Fa miareñe irehe vaho hisamak’ anadahy; hatao’o Iesmaèle ty añara’e, amy te nihaoñe’ Iehovà ty fisotria’o.
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 Ho borìke hako indatiy hañonjoñe sirañe amy ze hene ondaty, le ondaty iabio ty hañonjon-tsirañe ama’e; vaho himoneñe añatrefa’ o longo’e iabio re.
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 Aa le kinanji’e ty hoe Elroy t’Iehovà nitsara ama’ey: fa hoe re, Ihe ro Andrianañahare mahavazoho ahy, le hoe re: Aa vaho toe nitreako hao i Mahavazoho ahy?
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 Le natao ty hoe Bire-lakhai-roy i vovoñe añivo’ i Kadese naho i Beredey.
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 Nisamak’ ana-dahy ho a i Avrame t’i Khagare vaho nimea’ i Avrame añarañe ty hoe Iesmaèle i ana-dahi’e nasama’ i Kagarey.
So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
16 Valompolo taoñe eneñ’ amby t’i Avrame te nisamake Iesmaèle t’i Khagare.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
