Mwanzo 16
1 Kisha Sarai mke wa Abram, alikuwa hajamzalia mtoto, lakini alikuwa na mtumishi wa kike, Mmisri ambaye jina lake aliitwa Hajiri.
Sarai Abrams wyfe bare him no childerne. But she had an hand mayde an Egiptian whose name 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.
Wherfore the sayde vnto Abram. Beholde the LORde hath closed me that I can not bere. I praye the goo in vnto my mayde peradueture I shall be multiplyed by meanes of her And Abram herde the voyce of Sarai. Than 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.
Abrams wife toke Hagar hyr mayde the Egitian (after Abram had dwelled. x. yere in the lande of Canaan) and gaue her to hyr husbonde Abram to be his wyfe.
4 Kwa hiyo akawa na mahusiano na Hajiri, na akabeba mimba. Na alipoona kuwa amebeba mimba, akamdharau bibi yake.
And he wente in vnto Hagar and she conceaved. And when she sawe that she had conceyved hyr mastresse was despised in hyr syghte.
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.”
Than sayd Sarai vnto Abram: Thou dost me vnrighte for I haue geuen my mayde in to thy bosome: and now because she seyth that she hath coceaved I am despysed in hyr syghte: the LORde iudge betwene the and me.
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.
Than sayde Abra to Sarai: beholde thy mayde is in thy hande do with hyr as it pleaseth the. And because Sarai fared foule with her she fled from her.
7 Malaika wa Yahwe akamkuta karibu na chemichemi ya maji katika jangwa, chemichemi iliyo katika njia kuelekea Shuri.
And the angell of the LORde founde her besyde a fountayne of water in the wyldernes: euen by a well in the way to Sur.
8 Akasema, Hajiri, mtumishi wa Sarai, umetoka wapi na unakwenda wapi?” Na akasema, ninamtoroka bibi yangu Sarai.”
And he sayde: Hagar Sarais mayde whence comest thou and whether wylt thou goo? And she answered: I flee from my mastresse Sarai.
9 Malaika wa Yahwe akamwambia, “Rudi kwa bibi yako, na unyenyekee chini ya mamlaka yake.”
And the angell of the LORde sayde vnto her: returne to thy mastresse agayne and submytte thy selfe vnder her handes.
10 Kisha Malaika wa Yahwe akamwambia, “Nitazidisha uzao wako maradufu, kiasi kwamba watakuwa wengi wasioweza kuhesabika.”
And the angell of ye LORde sayde vnto her: I will so encrease thy seed that it shall not be numbred for 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 the LORdes angell sayd further vnto her: se thou art wyth childe and shalt bere a sonne and shalt call his name Ismael: because the LORDE hath herde thy tribulation.
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.”
He will be a wylde man and his hande will be agenst every man and euery mans hande agenst him. And yet shall he dwell faste by all his brothren.
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 the LORde that spake vnto her: thou art the God that lokest on me for she sayde: I haue of a suertie sene here the backe parties of him that seith me.
14 Kwa hiyo kisima kiliitwa Beerlahairori; Tazama, kiko kati ya Kadeshi na Beredi.
Wherfore she called the well the well of the lyuynge that seith me which well is betwene Cades and Bared.
15 Hajiri akamzalia Abram mwana wa kiume, na Abram akamwita mwanawe, ambaye Hajiri amemzaa jina, Ishmaeli.
And Hagar bare Abram a sonne and Abram called his sons name which Hagar bare Ismaell.
16 Abram alikuwa na umri wa miaka themanini na sita wakati Hajiri alipomzaa Ishmaeli kwa Abram.
And Abram was. lxxxvi. yere olde when Hagar bare him Ismael.
