< Genesis 16 >

1 Now Sarai [Mockery], Avram [Exalted father]’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], whose name was Hagar [Flight].
Ary Saray, vadin’ i Abrama, tsy mba niteraka; ary izy nanana mpanompovavy Egyptiana, Hagara no anarany.
2 Sarai [Mockery] said to Avram [Exalted father], “See now, Adonai has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Avram [Exalted father] sh'ma ·hear obey· the voice of Sarai [Mockery].
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 Sarai [Mockery], Avram [Exalted father]’s wife, took Hagar [Flight] the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], her servant, after Avram [Exalted father] had lived ten years in the land of Canaan [Humbled], and gave her to Avram [Exalted father] her husband 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 He went in to Hagar [Flight], and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
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 Sarai [Mockery] said to Avram [Exalted father], “This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Adonai judge between me and you.”
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 But Avram [Exalted father] said to Sarai [Mockery], “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai [Mockery] dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.
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 Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way 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 He said, “Hagar [Flight], Sarai [Mockery]’s servant, where did you come from? Where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai [Mockery].”
Ary hoy Izy: Ry Hagara, andevovavin’ i Saray, avy taiza ianao? Ary hankaiza? Ary hoy izy; Mandositra ny tavan’ i Saray tompovaviko aho.
9 Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to her, “Teshuvah ·Completely return· to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.”
Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah taminy: Miverena any amin’ ny tompovavinao ka miareta izay ataony aminao.
10 Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.”
Ary hoy koa Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah taminy: Hataoko maro indrindra ny taranakao, ka tsy ho azo isaina izy noho ny hamaroany.
11 Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael [Pays attention God], because Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· your 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 like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposite all of 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 She called the name of Adonai who spoke to her, “You are El Ro'i Ra'ah [God who sees me / God who provides],” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”
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 [Well of the one who lives and sees]. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Izany no nanaovana ny lavaka fantsakana hoe: Bera-lahai-roy; indro, eo anelanelan’ i Kadesy sy Bareda izany.
15 Hagar [Flight] bore a son for Avram [Exalted father]. Avram [Exalted father] called the name of his son, whom Hagar [Flight] bore, Ishmael [Pays attention God].
Ary Hagara dia niteraka zazalahy tamin’ i Abrama; ary ny anaran’ ny zanany izay naterany dia nataon’ i Abrama hoe Isimaela.
16 Avram [Exalted father] was eighty-six years old when Hagar [Flight] bore Ishmael [Pays attention God] to Avram [Exalted father].
Ary efa enina amby valo-polo taona Abrama, raha Hagara niteraka an’ Isimaela taminy.
