Mwanzo 16
1 Kisha Sarai mke wa Abram, alikuwa hajamzalia mtoto, lakini alikuwa na mtumishi wa kike, Mmisri ambaye jina lake aliitwa Hajiri.
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 Kwa hiyo Sarai akamwambia Abram, “Tazama, Yahwe hajanifanya mimi kuwa na watoto. Nenda na ulale na mtumishi wangu. Ili kwamba niweze kupata watoto kupitia yeye.” Abram akasikiliza sauti ya Sarai.
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 Ilikuwa baada ya Abram kuishi miaka kumi katika nchi ya Kanaani ndipo Sarai, mke wa Abram, alimtoa Hajiri yule mmisri mtumishi wake kwa mume wake awe kama 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 Kwa hiyo akawa na mahusiano na Hajiri, na akabeba mimba. Na alipoona kuwa amebeba mimba, akamdharau bibi yake.
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 Kisha Sarai akamwambia Abram, “Jambo hili baya kwangu ni kwa sababu yako. Nilimtoa mtumishi wangu wa kike katika kumbatio lako. Na alipoona kuwa amebeba mimba, nilidharaulika machoni pake. Na sasa acha Yahwe aamuwe kati yangu na wewe.”
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 Lakini Abram akamwambia Sarai, “Tazama, hapa, mtumishi wako yuko katika uwezo wako, fanya unachofikiri ni kizuri sana kwake.” Kwa hiyo Sarai akakabiliana naye kwa ukatili, na akatoroka.
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 Yahwe akamkuta karibu na chemichemi ya maji katika jangwa, chemichemi iliyo katika njia kuelekea 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 Akasema, Hajiri, mtumishi wa Sarai, umetoka wapi na unakwenda wapi?” Na akasema, ninamtoroka 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 Malaika wa Yahwe akamwambia, “Rudi kwa bibi yako, na unyenyekee chini ya mamlaka yake.”
And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh return to mistress your and humble yourself under hands her.
10 Kisha Malaika wa Yahwe akamwambia, “Nitazidisha uzao wako maradufu, kiasi kwamba watakuwa wengi wasioweza kuhesabika.”
And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh certainly I will increase offspring your and not it will be counted from multitude.
11 Malaika wa Yahwe pia akamwambia, “Tazama, wewe unamimba, na utazaa mtoto kiume, na utamwita jina lake Ishmaeli, kwasabab Yahwe amesikia mateso 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 wa mtu. Atakuwa adui dhidi ya kila mtu, na kila mtu atakuwa adui yake, na ataishi kando 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 Kisha akamwita jina hili Yahwe aliye zungumza naye, “Wewe ni Mungu unionaye mimi,” kwa kuwa alisema, “je ninaendelea kweli kuona, hata baada ya kuwa ameniona?”
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 Kwa hiyo kisima kiliitwa Beerlahairori; Tazama, kiko kati ya Kadeshi na Beredi.
There-fore someone called the well Beer Lahai Roi there! [it is] between Kadesh and between Bered.
15 Hajiri akamzalia Abram mwana wa kiume, na Abram akamwita mwanawe, ambaye Hajiri amemzaa jina, 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 Abram alikuwa na umri wa miaka themanini na sita wakati Hajiri alipomzaa Ishmaeli kwa Abram.
And Abram [was] a son of eighty year[s] and six years when bore Hagar Ishmael to Abram.
