Genesis 16

1 Sarai, aya Abramu kò bímọ fún un, ṣùgbọ́n ó ní ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ obìnrin ará Ejibiti kan tí ń jẹ́ Hagari.

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 Nítorí náà, Sarai wí fún Abramu pé, “Kíyèsi i Olúwa ti sé mi ní inú, èmi kò sì bímọ, wọlé tọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mi lọ, bóyá èmi yóò le ti ipasẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní ọmọ.” Abramu sì gba ohun tí Sarai sọ.

[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 Lẹ́yìn ọdún mẹ́wàá tí Abramu ti ń gbé ni Kenaani ni Sarai mú ọmọbìnrin, ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ Hagari, tí í ṣe ará Ejibiti fún Abramu ọkọ rẹ̀ láti fi ṣe aya.

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 Abramu sì bá Hagari lòpọ̀, ó sì lóyún. Nígbà tí ó sì ti mọ̀ pé òun lóyún, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sì ní kẹ́gàn ọ̀gá rẹ̀.

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 Nígbà náà ni Sarai wí fún Abramu pé, “Ìwọ ni ó jẹ́ kí ẹ̀gbin yìí máa jẹ mí, mo fa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mi lé ọ lọ́wọ́, nígbà tí ó sì rí i pé òun lóyún, mo di ẹni ẹ̀gàn ní ojú rẹ̀. Kí Olúwa kí ó ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín tèmi tìrẹ.”

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 Abramu dáhùn pé, “Ìwọ ló ni ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó bá tọ́ ní ojú rẹ sí i.” Nígbà náà ni Sarai fi ìyà jẹ Hagari, ó sì sálọ.

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 Angẹli Olúwa sì rí Hagari ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ìsun omi ní ijù, ìsun omi tí ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí Ṣuri.

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 Ó sì wí pé, “Hagari, ìránṣẹ́ Sarai, níbo ni o ti ń bọ̀, níbo sì ni ìwọ ń lọ?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Mo ń sálọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ọ̀gá mi Sarai ni.”

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 Angẹli Olúwa sì wí fún un pé, “Padà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀gá rẹ kí o sì tẹríba fún un.”

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

10 Angẹli Olúwa náà sì fi kún fún un pé, “Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá, ìran rẹ kì yóò sì lóǹkà.”

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 Angẹli Olúwa náà sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ti lóyún, ìwọ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Ìwọ yóò sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Iṣmaeli, nítorí tí Olúwa ti rí ìpọ́njú rẹ.

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 Òun yóò jẹ́ oníjàgídíjàgan ènìyàn ọwọ́ rẹ̀ yóò wà lára ènìyàn gbogbo, ọwọ́ ènìyàn gbogbo yóò sì wà lára rẹ̀, yóò sì máa gbé ní ìkanra pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀.”

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 Ó sì pe orúkọ Olúwa tí o bá sọ̀rọ̀ ní, “Ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run tí ó rí mi,” nítorí tí ó wí pé, “Mo ti ri ẹni tí ó rí mi báyìí.”

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 Nítorí náà ni a ṣe ń pe kànga náà ní Beeri-Lahai-Roi; kànga ẹni alààyè tí ó rí mi. Ó wà ní agbede-méjì Kadeṣi àti Beredi.

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 Hagari sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún Abramu, Abramu sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Iṣmaeli.

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

16 Abramu jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́rìndínláàádọ́rùn-ún nígbà tí Hagari bí Iṣmaeli fún un.

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