Uumama 16

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

And Sarai, Abram's wife, hath not borne to him, and she hath an handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name [is] 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.

and Sarai saith unto Abram, 'Lo, I pray thee, Jehovah hath restrained me from bearing, go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; perhaps I am built up from her;' and Abram hearkeneth 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.

And Sarai, Abram's wife, taketh Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, at the end of the tenth year of Abram's dwelling in the land of Canaan, and giveth her to Abram her husband, to him for a wife,

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

and he goeth in unto Hagar, and she conceiveth, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and her mistress is lightly esteemed 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.

And Sarai saith unto Abram, 'My violence [is] for thee; I — I have given mine handmaid into thy bosom, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and I am lightly esteemed in her eyes; Jehovah doth judge between me and thee.'

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 saith unto Sarai, 'Lo, thine handmaid [is] in thine hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes;' and Sarai afflicted her, and she fleeth from her presence.

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

And a messenger of Jehovah findeth her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, 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.

and he saith, 'Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, whence hast thou come, and whither dost thou go?' and she saith, 'From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.'

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

And the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, 'Turn back unto thy mistress, 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 Jehovah saith to her, 'Multiplying I multiply thy seed, and it is not numbered from 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 Jehovah saith to her, 'Behold thou [art] conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine affliction;

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

and he is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and every one's hand against him — and before the face of all his brethren he dwelleth.'

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

And she calleth the name of Jehovah who is speaking unto her, 'Thou [art], O God, my beholder;' for she said, 'Even here have I looked behind my beholder?'

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

therefore hath one called the well, 'The well of the Living One, my beholder;' lo, between Kadesh and Bered.

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

And Hagar beareth to Abram a son; and Abram calleth the name of his son, whom Hagar hath borne, Ishmael;

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

and Abram [is] a son of eighty and six years in Hagar's bearing Ishmael to Abram.
