Chakruok 16

1 Koro Sarai chi Abram ne pok onywolone nyithindo. To ne en gi misumba ma nyako ma nyar Misri, ma nyinge ne Hagar;

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children; and she had a servant, a woman of Egypt whose name was Hagar.

2 omiyo Sarai nowacho ne Abram niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ok osemiya nyithindo. Dhiyo mondo iriwri gi jatichna ma nyako; dipoka ayudo joga koa kuome.” Abram noyie gi wach Sarai.

And Sarai said to Abram, See, the Lord has not let me have children; go in to my servant, for I may get a family through her. And Abram did as Sarai said.

3 Kane oyudo Abram osedak Kanaan kuom higni apar, Sarai chiege nokawo misumbane ma nyako Misri, ma nyinge Hagar kendo nochiwe ne chwore mondo obed chiege.

So after Abram had been living for ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, and gave her to Abram for his wife.

4 Abram noriwore gi Hagar kendo nomako ich. Kane ofwenyo ni en gi ich, nochako chayo ruodhe madhako.

And he went in to Hagar and she became with child, and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for her master's wife.

5 Eka Sarai nowacho ne Abram niya, “In ema ikelona achayani. Ne aketo jatichna e lweti, kendo ka koro ongʼeyo ni osemako ich to ochaya mad Jehova Nyasaye bed jangʼad bura e kinda kodi.”

And Sarai said to Abram, May my wrong be on you: I gave you my servant for your wife and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for me: may the Lord be judge between you and me.

6 Abram nodwoke niya, “Jatichni ni e lweti, tim kode gima iparo ni ber.” Eka Sarai nosando Hagar; mi noringo oa e wangʼe.

And Abram said, The woman is in your power; do with her whatever seems good to you. And Sarai was cruel to her, so that she went running away from her.

7 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noyudo Hagar machiegni gi soko e thim; ne en soko manie bath yo madhi Shur.

And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

8 Kendo nopenjo niya, “Hagar jatich Sarai, ia kanye to idhi kanye?” Hagar nodwoke niya, “Aringo aa e wangʼ Sarai matiyone.”

And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant, where have you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am running away from Sarai, my master's wife.

9 Eka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Dogi ir ngʼat ma itiyone kendo ichiwri e lwete.”

And the angel said to her, Go back, and put yourself under her authority.

10 Malaika nomedo wachone niya, “Abiro medo ogandani mabed mangʼeny ma ok nyal kwan.”

And the angel of the Lord said, Your seed will be greatly increased so that it may not be numbered.

11 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nomedo wachone niya, “Koro in gi ich kendo ibiro nywolo nyathi ma wuowi, mi inichake Ishmael, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osewinjo chandruokni.

And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.

12 Obiro bedo ngʼama kwiny ka kanyna mapok obo; nobed mamon gi ji duto, kendo ji duto bende nobed mamon kode, mi nodag komon gi owetene duto.”

And he will be like a mountain ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him, and he will keep his place against all his brothers.

13 Bangʼeno Hagar nochako Nyasaye mane osewuoyo kode nying ni El-roi (ma tiende ni Jehova Nyasaye Maneno); nimar nowacho niya, “Koro aseneno Jalno manena.”

And to the Lord who was talking with her she gave this name, You are a God who is seen; for she said, Have I not even here in the waste land had a vision of God and am still living?

14 Mano emomiyo sokono nochaki ni Beer-Lahai-Roi; kendo pod entiere nyaka chil kawuono, e kind Kadesh kod Bered.

So that fountain was named, Fountain of Life and Vision: it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Kuom mano Hagar nonywolone Abram nyathi ma wuowi kendo nochako nyinge ni Ishmael.

And Hagar gave birth to a child, the son of Abram, to whom Abram gave the name of Ishmael.

16 Abram ne ja-higni piero aboro gauchiel kane Hagar onywolone Ishmael.

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