उत्पत्ति 16
1 अब अब्रामकी पत्नी साराईले तिनको निम्ति कुनै सन्तान जन्माएकी थिइनन्, तर तिनकी हागार नाम गरेकी एउटी मिश्री कमारी थिई ।
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 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 ।
[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 अब्राम कनानमा बसेको दश वर्षपछि साराईले आफ्नी मिश्री कमारी हागारलाई अब्राहमकी पत्नी हुनलाई दिइन् ।
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 त्यसैले अब्रामले हागारसँग सम्बन्ध राखे र त्यो गर्भवती भई । जब त्यसले आफू गर्भवती भएको थाहा पाई, त्यसले आफ्नी मालिक्नीलाई अपमानको दृष्टिले हेर्न थाली ।
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 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 ।”
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 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 ।
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 परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई मरुभूमिमा भएको पानीको मूल नजिकै भेट्टाए । त्यो मूल शूरतिर जाने बाटोमा पर्छ ।
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 तिनले सोधे, “साराईकी कमारी हागार, तँ कहाँबाट आइस् र कहाँ जाँदै छेस्?” त्यसले जवाफ दिई, “म मेरी मालिक्नी साराईदेखि भाग्दै छु।”
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 परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई भने, “फर्केर तेरी मालिक्नीकहाँ जा र तिनको अधिकारमा समर्पित भएर बस्।”
The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
10 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई भने, “म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई औधी बढाउनेछु, कि तिनीहरू गन्न नै नसकिने गरी धेरै हुनेछन् ।”
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 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 ।
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 त्यो हरेक मानिसको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछ, र हरेक मानिस त्यसको विरूद्धमा लाग्नेछ, र आफ्ना सबै दाजुभाइहरूबाट अलग बस्नेछ ।”
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 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?”
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 त्यसैले त्यस इनारको नाउँ बेअर-लहै-रोइ राखियो, जुन कादेश र बेरेदको बिचमा पर्छ ।
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 हागारले अब्रामको छोरो जन्माई, अनि हागारले जन्माएको छोरोको नाम अब्रामले इश्माएल राखे ।
So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
16 हागारले अब्रामको निम्ति छोरो जन्माउँदा अब्राम छयासी वर्षका थिए ।
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
