< Genesis 16 >

1 Now Abram’s wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.
Ary Saray, vadin’ i Abrama, tsy mba niteraka; ary izy nanana mpanompovavy Egyptiana, Hagara no anarany.
2 So Sarai said to Abram, “Look now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go to my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
Ary hoy Saray tamin’ i Abrama: Indro, efa tsy nanome zanaka ahy Jehovah; masìna ianao, mivadia amin’ ny mpanompovaviko; angamba hahazo zaza aminy aho. Dia neken’ i Abrama ny tenin’ i Saray.
3 So after he had lived in Canaan for ten years, his wife Sarai took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to Abram to be his wife.
Ary rehefa nonina folo taona teo amin’ ny tany Kanana Abrama, dia nalain’ i Saray, vadin’ i Abrama, Hagara Egyptiana mpanompovaviny, ka nomeny an’ i Abrama vadiny mba hovadiny.
4 And he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
Dia nivady tamin’ i Hagara izy, ka nanan’ anaka ravehivavy; ary rehefa hitany fa efa manan’ anaka izy, dia nataony toy ny tsinontsinona ny tompovaviny.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be upon you! I delivered my servant into your arms, and ever since she saw that she was pregnant, she has treated me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me.”
Ary hoy Saray tamin’ i Abrama: Hanody anao anie ny fahoriako; fa efa nomeko ho andefimandrinao ny mpanompovaviko, ary nony hitany fa efa manan’ anaka izy, dia nataony toy ny tsinontsinona aho; Jehovah anie hitsara ahy sy ianao.
6 “Here,” said Abram, “your servant is in your hands. Do whatever you want with her.” Then Sarai treated Hagar so harshly that she fled from her.
Ary hoy Abrama tamin’ i Saray: Indro, eo an-tananao ihany ny mpanompovavinao; ataovy aminy izay sitraponao. Ary raha nampahorin’ i Saray Hagara, dia nandositra ny tavany izy.
7 Now the angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the desert—the spring along the road to Shur.
Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah nahita azy teo anilan’ ny loharano anankiray tany an-efitra, dia teo anilan’ ilay loharano eo amin’ ny lalana mankany Sora.
8 “Hagar, servant of Sarai,” he said, “where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I am running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.
Ary hoy Izy: Ry Hagara, andevovavin’ i Saray, avy taiza ianao? Ary hankaiza? Ary hoy izy; Mandositra ny tavan’ i Saray tompovaviko aho.
9 So the angel of the LORD told her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.”
Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah taminy: Miverena any amin’ ny tompovavinao ka miareta izay ataony aminao.
10 Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”
Ary hoy koa Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah taminy: Hataoko maro indrindra ny taranakao, ka tsy ho azo isaina izy noho ny hamaroany.
11 The angel of the LORD proceeded: “Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your cry of affliction.
Ary hoy indray Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah taminy: Indro, manan’ anaka ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy, ary ny anarany hataonao hoe Isimaela, satria efa nihaino ny fahorianao Jehovah.
12 He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
Ary izy ho lehilahy toy ny boriki-dia; ny tànany hamely ny olona rehetra, ary ny tanan’ ny olona rehetra kosa hamely azy; ary honina eo tandrifin’ ny rahalahiny rehetra izy.
13 So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen the One who sees me!”
Ary Hagara nanao ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Izay niteny taminy hoe: Hianao no Andriamanitra Izay mahita; fa hoy izy: Tsy teto va no mbola velona aho aorian’ ny fahitana?
14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is located between Kadesh and Bered.
Izany no nanaovana ny lavaka fantsakana hoe: Bera-lahai-roy; indro, eo anelanelan’ i Kadesy sy Bareda izany.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.
Ary Hagara dia niteraka zazalahy tamin’ i Abrama; ary ny anaran’ ny zanany izay naterany dia nataon’ i Abrama hoe Isimaela.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him.
Ary efa enina amby valo-polo taona Abrama, raha Hagara niteraka an’ Isimaela taminy.
