Uumama 16

1 Saaraan niitiin Abraam ijoollee isaaf hin deenye turte. Garuu isheen garbittii Aggaar jedhamtu tokko qabdi turte; Aggaaris nama biyya Gibxi turte;

But Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children, —she had, however, an Egyptian handmaid, whose name was Hagar.

2 Saaraanis Abraamiin, “Kunoo Waaqayyo ijoollee na dhowwateera. Dhaqiitii garbittii koo wajjin ciisi; tarii ani karaa isheetiin ijoollee nan argadhan taʼaatii” jette. Abraamis waan Sooraan jette fudhate.

So then Sarai said unto Abram Behold, I pray thee, Yahweh hath restrained me, from bearing, go in I pray thee unto, my handmaid, peradventure I may be built up from, her, And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

3 Erga Abraam waggaa kudhan Kanaʼaan keessa jiraatee booddee niitiin isaa Saaraan garbittii ishee Aggaar kan nama biyya Gibxi turte sana fuutee akka isheen niitii isaa taatuuf dhirsa isheetiif kennite.

So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian. her handmaid, at the end of ten years of Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband, to be to him as a wife.

4 Abraamis Aggaar wajjin ciise; isheenis ni ulfoofte. Yommuu akka ulfoofte of irratti beektetti giiftii ishee tuffachuu jalqabde.

And he went in unto Hagar and she conceived, —and when she saw that she had conceived, lightly esteemed, was her lady, in her eyes.

5 Saaraan immoo Abraamiin, “Miidhaa na mudate kanatti situ gaafatama. Garbittii koo anattu bobaa kee jala siif galche; amma garuu isheen akka ulfoofte of irratti beeknaan na tuffatte. Egaa Waaqayyo sii fi ana gidduutti murtii haa kennu” jette.

Then said Sarai unto Abram: My wrong, is, on thee! I, gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and when she seeth that she hath conceived, then am I lightly esteemed in her eyes Yahweh judge betwixt me and her.

6 Abraamis, “Garbittiin kee keessa harkuma kee jirti; waanuma feete ishee godhi” jedheen. Saaraanis akka malee ishee cunqursite; kanaafuu Aggaar fuula ishee duraa sokkite.

And Abram said unto Sarai, Lo! thy handmaid, is in thy hand, do to her what is good in thine eyes. So Sarai humbled her, and she fled from her face.

7 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo gammoojjii keessatti, burqaa bishaanii tokko biratti Aggaarin arge; burqaan bishaanii sunis karaa Shuuritti geessu irra ture.

And the messenger of Yahweh found her by the fountain of water in the desert, —by the fountain in the way to Shur.

8 Ergamaan sunis, “Yaa Aggaar, garbittii Saaraa, ati eessaa dhufte? Eessa dhaquutti jirta?” jedhe. Isheenis, “Giiftii koo Saaraa baqachuuttin jira” jetteen.

So he said Hagar! handmaid of Sarai! Whence hast thou come, and whither wouldst thou go? And she said, From the face of Sarai, my lady, am, I, fleeing.

9 Kana irratti ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun, “Gara giiftii keetiitti deebiʼi; gad of qabiitii isheef buli” jedheen.

And the messenger of Yahweh said to her, Return unto thy lady, —and humble thyself under her hands.

10 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis itti dabalee, “Ani sanyii kee akka malee nan baayʼisa; sababii baayʼina isaatiifis namni tokko iyyuu lakkaaʼuu hin dandaʼu” jedhe.

And the messenger of Yahweh said to her, I will, greatly multiply, thy seed—so that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun amma illee akkana isheen jedhe; “Kunoo ati ulfoofteerta; ilmas ni deessa. Maqaa isaas Ishmaaʼeel jedhii moggaasi; Waaqayyo dhiphachuu kee dhagaʼeeraatii.

And the messenger of Yahweh said to her, Behold thee! with child, and about bearing a son—and thou shalt call his name Ishmael ["God hearkeneth"] for Yahweh hath hearkened unto thy humiliation.

12 Inni nama akka harree diidaa taʼa; harki isaa nama hunda irratti kaʼa; harki nama hundaas isa irratti kaʼa; obboloota isaa hundaanis jibbamaa jiraata.”

But, he, will be a wild ass of a man, his hand, against every one, and every one’s hand against him—yet, in presence of all his brethren, shall he have his habitation.

13 Isheenis maqaa Waaqayyo isheetti dubbate sanaa, “Elrooʼii” jettee waamte. Isheen, “Ani dhugumaan Isa na argu sana argeera” jetteertiitii.

And she called the name of Yahweh, who had spoken unto her, Thou GOD of vision! For she said. Do I even here, retain my vision after a vision?

14 Sababiin boolli bishaanii sun, “Beʼeer Lahaayirooʼii” jedhameefis kanuma. Innis hamma harʼaatti illee Qaadeshii fi Bereed gidduu jira.

On this account, is the well called, the well of the life of vision, lo! it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Aggaaris Abraamiif ilma deesse; Abraamis ilma isheen deesse sana Ishmaaʼeel jedhee moggaase.

So Hagar bare to Abram a son, —and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bare, Ishmael.

16 Yeroo Aggaar Ishmaaʼeelin isaaf deessetti Abraam nama waggaa saddeettamii jaʼaa ture.

Now, Abram, was eighty—six years old, —when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
