Genesis 16
1 Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar.
Ary Saray, vadin’ i Abrama, tsy mba niteraka; ary izy nanana mpanompovavy Egyptiana, Hagara no anarany.
2 [So one day] Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So (sleep with/have sex with) [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said.
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 Abram (slept with/had sex with) Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan [land]. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary 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 (slept with/had sex with) [EUP] Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress Sarai.
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, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to 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 So Abram said to Sarai, “[You listen to me]! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai.
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 An angel of Yahweh found her as she was near a spring of water in the desert. It was the spring that was alongside 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 He said to her, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I have run away from Sarai, my mistress.”
Ary hoy Izy: Ry Hagara, andevovavin’ i Saray, avy taiza ianao? Ary hankaiza? Ary hoy izy; Mandositra ny tavan’ i Saray tompovaviko aho.
9 The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah taminy: Miverena any amin’ ny tompovavinao ka miareta izay ataony aminao.
10 The angel also said to her, “I will enable you to bear so many descendants that no one will be able to count them!”
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 also said to her, “[Listen to this!] You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, [which means ‘God hears]’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.
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 But your son will be as uncontrollable as a wild donkey [MET]. He will oppose everyone, and everyone will oppose him [MTY]. He will live far away from his relatives [SYN].”
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 Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “(It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?)” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, 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 That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, [which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’!] It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
Izany no nanaovana ny lavaka fantsakana hoe: Bera-lahai-roy; indro, eo anelanelan’ i Kadesy sy Bareda izany.
15 So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
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 gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
Ary efa enina amby valo-polo taona Abrama, raha Hagara niteraka an’ Isimaela taminy.
