Bilowgii 16

1 Saaray oo ahayd Aabraam naagtiisii carruur uma ay dhalin isagii: waxayna lahayd gabadh midiidin ah, oo Masriyad ah, magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Haagaar.

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 Oo Saaray waxay Aabraam ku tidhi, Bal eeg imminka, Rabbigu waa ii diiday inaan dhalo; haddaba waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad midiidintayda u tagto, mindhaa iyadaan carruur ka heli doonaaye, Aabraamna codkii Saaray buu maqlay.

[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 Saaray oo ahayd naagtii Aabraam waxay kaxaysay Haagaar tii Masriyadda ahayd, oo midiidinteeda ahayd, markii Aabraam toban sannadood joogay dalkii Kancaan ka dib, oo waxay iyadii siisay ninkeedii Aabraam inay naagtiisii u noqoto.

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 Oo Haagaar buu u tegey, wayna uuraysatay; oo markay aragtay inay uuraysatay ayay murwadeedii aad u quudhsatay.

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 Oo Saaray waxay Aabraam ku tidhi, Dulmigii laygu sameeyey dushaada ha ahaado: midiidintaydii waxaan geliyey laabtaada; oo markay aragtay inay uuraysatay ayay i quudhsatay; Rabbigu aniga iyo adiga ha ina kala xukumo.

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 Laakiinse Aabraam wuxuu ku yidhi Saaray, Bal eeg, midiidintaadii gacantaaday ku jirtaaye; waxaad doonto ku samee. Saarayna si adag bay ula macaamilootay, kolkaasay midiidintii ka carartay horteeda.

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 Oo malaa'igtii Rabbigaa heshay iyadoo ag joogta il biyo ah oo cidlada ku taal, oo ishuna waxay ku tiil jidka Shuur.

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 Oo malaa'igtii waxay ku tidhi, Haagaar, midiidintii Saaray, xaggee baad ka timid? Xaggee baadse ku socotaa? Oo waxay ku tidhi, Murwadayda Saaray baan ka cararayaa.

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 Oo malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay ku tidhi iyadii, Ku noqo murwadaadii, oo gacmaheeda is-hoos dhig.

The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.

10 Oo malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay ku tidhi iyadii, Farcankaaga aad baan u tarmin doonaa si aan loo tirin karin farabadnaantiisa aawadeed.

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 Oo malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay ku tidhi iyadii, Bal eeg, uur baad leedahaye, oo wiil baad dhali doontaa; magiciisana waxaad u bixin doontaa Ismaaciil, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu waa maqlay dhibaatadaadii.

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 Oo dadka dhexdiisa wuxuu ku noqon doonaa sida dameer banjoog ah; gacantiisu nin walba gees bay ka noqon doontaa, oo nin walba gacantiisuna gees bay ka noqon doontaa isaga; wuxuuna degganaan doonaa walaalihiis oo dhan hortooda.

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 Oo waxay magicii Rabbigii la hadlay iyada u bixisay, Waxaad tahay Ilaaha wax arka, waayo, waxay tidhi, Weliba miyaan halkan ka arkay kan i arka?

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 Sidaas daraaddeed ceelkii waxaa loo bixiyeyBi'ir Lahayroy; bal eeg, wuxuu u dhexeeyaa Qaadeesh iyo Bered.

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 Oo Haagaar waxay Aabraam u dhashay wiil; oo Aabraamna wuxuu wiilkiisii Haagaar dhashay u bixiyey Ismaaciil.

So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.

16 Aabraamna wuxuu jiray lix iyo siddeetan sannadood, markii ay Haagaar Ismaaciil u dhashay Aabraam.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
