Mwanzo 16
1 Basi Sarai, mkewe Abramu, alikuwa hajamzalia watoto. Lakini alikuwa na mtumishi wa kike Mmisri jina lake Hagari,
And Sarai [the] wife of Abram not she had borne children to him and [belonged] to her a maidservant Egyptian and name her [was] Hagar.
2 hivyo Sarai akamwambia Abramu, “Bwana amenizuilia kupata watoto. Nenda, ukakutane kimwili na mtumishi wangu wa kike, huenda nitaweza kupata watoto kupitia kwake.” Abramu akakubaliana na lile Sarai alilosema.
And she said Sarai to Abram here! please he has restrained me Yahweh from bearing children go please into maidservant my perhaps I will be built up (from her *LBH(a)*) and he listened Abram to [the] voice of Sarai.
3 Hivyo baada ya Abramu kuishi katika nchi ya Kanaani miaka kumi, Sarai akamchukua mtumishi wake wa kike wa Kimisri, Hagari na kumpa mumewe awe mke wake.
And she took Sarai [the] wife of Abram Hagar the Egyptian maidservant her from [the] end of ten years of [the] dwelling of Abram in [the] land of Canaan and she gave her to Abram husband her of him to a wife.
4 Akakutana kimwili na Hagari, naye akapata mimba. Hagari alipojua kuwa ana mimba, alianza kumdharau Sarai.
And he went into Hagar and she conceived and she saw that she had conceived and she became insignificant mistress her in view her.
5 Ndipo Sarai akamwambia Abramu, “Unawajibika na manyanyaso ninayoyapata. Nilimweka mtumishi wangu mikononi mwako, sasa kwa vile anajua kwamba ana mimba, ananidharau mimi. Bwana na aamue kati yako na mimi.”
And she said Sarai to Abram injustice my [is] on you I I put maidservant my in bosom your and she has seen that she had conceived and I have become insignificant in view her may he judge Yahweh between me and between you.
6 Abramu akamwambia, “Mtumishi wako yuko mikononi mwako. Mtendee lolote unalofikiri ni bora zaidi.” Ndipo Sarai akamtesa Hagari, hivyo akamtoroka.
And he said Abram to Sarai there! maidservant your [is] in hand your do to her the good in view your and she afflicted her Sarai and she fled from before her.
7 Malaika wa Bwana akamkuta Hagari karibu na chemchemi huko jangwani; ilikuwa chemchemi ile iliyokuwa kando ya barabara iendayo Shuri.
And he found her [the] angel of Yahweh at [the] spring of water in the wilderness at the spring on [the] way of Shur.
8 Malaika akamwambia, “Hagari, mtumishi wa Sarai, umetokea wapi, na unakwenda wapi?” Akamjibu, “Ninamkimbia bibi yangu Sarai.”
And he said O Hagar [the] maidservant of Sarai where? from this have you come and where? are you going and she said from before Sarai mistress my I [am] fleeing.
9 Ndipo malaika wa Bwana akamwambia, “Rudi kwa bibi yako ukajishushe chini yake.”
And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh return to mistress your and humble yourself under hands her.
10 Malaika akaendelea akasema, “Nitazidisha wazao wako, hivi kwamba watakuwa wengi mno wasiohesabika.”
And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh certainly I will increase offspring your and not it will be counted from multitude.
11 Pia malaika wa Bwana akamwambia: “Wewe sasa una mimba nawe utamzaa mwana. Utamwita jina lake Ishmaeli, kwa sababu Bwana amesikia juu ya huzuni yako.
And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh here you [are] pregnant and you will bear a son and you will call name his Ishmael for he has listened Yahweh to affliction your.
12 Atakuwa punda-mwitu katikati ya wanadamu, mkono wake utakuwa dhidi ya kila mtu na mkono wa kila mtu dhidi yake, naye ataishi kwa uhasama na ndugu zake wote.”
And he he will be a wild donkey of a man hand his [will be] on everyone and [the] hand of everyone [will be] on him and on [the] face of all brothers his he will dwell.
13 Hagari akampa Bwana aliyezungumza naye jina hili: “Wewe ndiwe Mungu unionaye mimi,” kwa maana alisema, “Sasa nimemwona yeye anayeniona mimi.”
And she called [the] name of Yahweh who spoke to her you [are] a God of seeing for she said ¿ also here have I seen [the] back of [the] [one who] sees me.
14 Ndiyo sababu kisima kile kikaitwa Beer-Lahai-Roi, ambacho bado kipo huko hata leo kati ya Kadeshi na Beredi.
There-fore someone called the well Beer Lahai Roi there! [it is] between Kadesh and between Bered.
15 Hivyo Hagari akamzalia Abramu mwana, naye Abramu akamwita huyo mwana Hagari aliyemzalia, Ishmaeli.
And she bore Hagar to Abram a son and he called Abram [the] name of son his whom she had borne Hagar Ishmael.
16 Abramu alikuwa na umri wa miaka themanini na sita wakati Hagari alipomzalia Ishmaeli.
And Abram [was] a son of eighty year[s] and six years when bore Hagar Ishmael to Abram.
