1 अब अब्रामकी पत्‍नी साराईले तिनको निम्ति कुनै सन्तान जन्माएकी थिइनन्, तर तिनकी हागार नाम गरेकी एउटी मिश्री कमारी थिई ।
And Sara the wife of Abram bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian maid, whose name was Agar.
2 त्यसैले साराईले अब्रामलाई भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमप्रभुले मलाई कुनै सन्तान दिनुभएको छैन । जानुहोस् मेरी कमारीसँग सुत्‍नुहोस् । सायद त्यसद्वारा मैले सन्तान प्राप्‍त गर्नेछु।” अब्रामले साराईको कुरा माने ।
And Sara said to Abram, Behold, the Lord has restrained me from bearing, go therefore in to my maid, that I may get children for myself through her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sara.
3 अब्राम कनानमा बसेको दश वर्षपछि साराईले आफ्नी मिश्री कमारी हागारलाई अब्राहमकी पत्‍नी हुनलाई दिइन् ।
So Sara the wife of Abram having taken Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Chanaan, gave her to Abram her husband as a wife to him.
4 त्यसैले अब्रामले हागारसँग सम्बन्ध राखे र त्यो गर्भवती भई । जब त्यसले आफू गर्भवती भएको थाहा पाई, त्यसले आफ्नी मालिक्‍नीलाई अपमानको दृष्‍टिले हेर्न थाली ।
And he went in to Agar, and she conceived, and saw that she was with child, and her mistress was dishonoured before her.
5 त्यसपछि साराइले अब्रामलाई भनिन्, “ममाथि भएको यो खराबी तपाईंको कारणले हो । मैले मेरी कमारी तपाईंको अँगालोमा दिएँ, अनि जब त्यसले आफू गर्भवती भएको चाल पाई, त्यसको दृष्‍टिमा म तुच्छ भएँ । परमेश्‍वरले तपाईं र मेरो बिचमा इन्साफ गरून् ।”
And Sara said to Abram, I am injured by thee; I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and when I saw that she was with child, I was dishonoured before her. The Lord judge between me and thee.
6 तर अब्राहमले साराइलाई भने, “हेर, तिम्री कमारी तिम्रै शक्तिमा छे, तिमीलाई जे उत्तम लाग्छ त्यही गर ।” त्यसैले साराईले त्यससँग कठोर व्यवहार गरिन्, अनि त्यो तिनीदेखि भागी ।
And Abram said to Sara, Behold thy handmaid is in thy hands, use her as it may seem good to thee. And Sara afflicted her, and she fled from her face.
7 परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई मरुभूमिमा भएको पानीको मूल नजिकै भेट्टाए । त्यो मूल शूरतिर जाने बाटोमा पर्छ ।
And an angel of the Lord found her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Sur.
8 तिनले सोधे, “साराईकी कमारी हागार, तँ कहाँबाट आइस् र कहाँ जाँदै छेस्?” त्यसले जवाफ दिई, “म मेरी मालिक्‍नी साराईदेखि भाग्दै छु।”
And the angel of the Lord said to her, Agar, Sara's maid, whence comest thou, and wither goest thou? and she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sara.
9 परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई भने, “फर्केर तेरी मालिक्‍नीकहाँ जा र तिनको अधिकारमा समर्पित भएर बस्।”
And the angel of the Lord said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई भने, “म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई औधी बढाउनेछु, कि तिनीहरू गन्‍न नै नसकिने गरी धेरै हुनेछन् ।”
And the angel of the Lord said to her, I will surely multiply thy seed, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 परमेश्‍वरका दूतले यो पनि भने, “हेर्, तँ गर्भवती भएकी छेस् र एउटा छोरो जन्माउनेछेस्, र तैँले त्यसको नाम इश्‍माएल राख्‍नेछेस् किनकि परमप्रभुले तेरो दुःख सुन्‍नुभएको छ । मानिसहरूमा त्यो एउटा जङ्‍गली गधाझैँ हुनेछ ।
And the angel of the Lord said to her, Behold thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ismael, for the Lord hath hearkened to thy humiliation.
12 त्यो हरेक मानिसको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछ, र हरेक मानिस त्यसको विरूद्धमा लाग्‍नेछ, र आफ्ना सबै दाजुभाइहरूबाट अलग बस्‍नेछ ।”
He shall be a wild man, his hands against all, and the hands of all against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
13 त्यसपछि त्यसले आफूसँग बात गर्नुहुने परमेश्‍वरका दूतलाई यो नाउँ दिई, “तपाईं मलाई देख्‍नुहुने परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ,” किनकि त्यसले भनी, “के उहाँले मलाई देखिसकेपछि पनि म उहाँलाई साँच्‍चै देखिरहन्छु?”
And she called the name of the Lord God who spoke to her, Thou art God who seest me; for she said, For I have openly seen him that appeared to me.
14 त्यसैले त्यस इनारको नाउँ बेअर-लहै-रोइ राखियो, जुन कादेश र बेरेदको बिचमा पर्छ ।
Therefore she called the well, The well of him whom I have openly seen; behold it is between Cades and Barad.
15 हागारले अब्रामको छोरो जन्माई, अनि हागारले जन्माएको छोरोको नाम अब्रामले इश्माएल राखे ।
And Agar bore a son to Abram; and Abram called the name of his son which Agar bore to him, Ismael.
16 हागारले अब्रामको निम्ति छोरो जन्माउँदा अब्राम छयासी वर्षका थिए ।
And Abram was eighty-six years old, when Agar bore Ismael to Abram.
