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, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, 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 ।

Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

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

Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be 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 ।

He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

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 ।”

Sarai said to Abram, “This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, she despised me. May the LORD judge between me and you.”

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 ।

But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

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

The LORD’s angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, 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।”

He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where did you come from? Where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.”

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

The LORD’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.”

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

The LORD’s angel said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.”

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 ।

The LORD’s angel said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your affliction.

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

He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposed to all of 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?”

She called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”

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

Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

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

Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

16 हागारले अब्रामको निम्ति छोरो जन्माउँदा अब्राम छयासी वर्षका थिए ।

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