उत्पत्ति 16

1 अब अब्रामकी पत्‍नी साराईले तिनको निम्ति कुनै सन्तान जन्माएकी थिइनन्, तर तिनकी हागार नाम गरेकी एउटी मिश्री कमारी थिई ।

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

2 त्यसैले साराईले अब्रामलाई भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमप्रभुले मलाई कुनै सन्तान दिनुभएको छैन । जानुहोस् मेरी कमारीसँग सुत्‍नुहोस् । सायद त्यसद्वारा मैले सन्तान प्राप्‍त गर्नेछु।” अब्रामले साराईको कुरा माने ।

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 अब्राम कनानमा बसेको दश वर्षपछि साराईले आफ्नी मिश्री कमारी हागारलाई अब्राहमकी पत्‍नी हुनलाई दिइन् ।

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 त्यसैले अब्रामले हागारसँग सम्बन्ध राखे र त्यो गर्भवती भई । जब त्यसले आफू गर्भवती भएको थाहा पाई, त्यसले आफ्नी मालिक्‍नीलाई अपमानको दृष्‍टिले हेर्न थाली ।

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 त्यसपछि साराइले अब्रामलाई भनिन्, “ममाथि भएको यो खराबी तपाईंको कारणले हो । मैले मेरी कमारी तपाईंको अँगालोमा दिएँ, अनि जब त्यसले आफू गर्भवती भएको चाल पाई, त्यसको दृष्‍टिमा म तुच्छ भएँ । परमेश्‍वरले तपाईं र मेरो बिचमा इन्साफ गरून् ।”

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 तर अब्राहमले साराइलाई भने, “हेर, तिम्री कमारी तिम्रै शक्तिमा छे, तिमीलाई जे उत्तम लाग्छ त्यही गर ।” त्यसैले साराईले त्यससँग कठोर व्यवहार गरिन्, अनि त्यो तिनीदेखि भागी ।

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 परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई मरुभूमिमा भएको पानीको मूल नजिकै भेट्टाए । त्यो मूल शूरतिर जाने बाटोमा पर्छ ।

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 तिनले सोधे, “साराईकी कमारी हागार, तँ कहाँबाट आइस् र कहाँ जाँदै छेस्?” त्यसले जवाफ दिई, “म मेरी मालिक्‍नी साराईदेखि भाग्दै छु।”

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 परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई भने, “फर्केर तेरी मालिक्‍नीकहाँ जा र तिनको अधिकारमा समर्पित भएर बस्।”

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

10 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई भने, “म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई औधी बढाउनेछु, कि तिनीहरू गन्‍न नै नसकिने गरी धेरै हुनेछन् ।”

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

11 परमेश्‍वरका दूतले यो पनि भने, “हेर्, तँ गर्भवती भएकी छेस् र एउटा छोरो जन्माउनेछेस्, र तैँले त्यसको नाम इश्‍माएल राख्‍नेछेस् किनकि परमप्रभुले तेरो दुःख सुन्‍नुभएको छ । मानिसहरूमा त्यो एउटा जङ्‍गली गधाझैँ हुनेछ ।

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 त्यो हरेक मानिसको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछ, र हरेक मानिस त्यसको विरूद्धमा लाग्‍नेछ, र आफ्ना सबै दाजुभाइहरूबाट अलग बस्‍नेछ ।”

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 त्यसपछि त्यसले आफूसँग बात गर्नुहुने परमेश्‍वरका दूतलाई यो नाउँ दिई, “तपाईं मलाई देख्‍नुहुने परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ,” किनकि त्यसले भनी, “के उहाँले मलाई देखिसकेपछि पनि म उहाँलाई साँच्‍चै देखिरहन्छु?”

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 त्यसैले त्यस इनारको नाउँ बेअर-लहै-रोइ राखियो, जुन कादेश र बेरेदको बिचमा पर्छ ।

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

15 हागारले अब्रामको छोरो जन्माई, अनि हागारले जन्माएको छोरोको नाम अब्रामले इश्माएल राखे ।

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

16 हागारले अब्रामको निम्ति छोरो जन्माउँदा अब्राम छयासी वर्षका थिए ।

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