1 Vi aɖeke menɔ Sarai kple Abram si o. Ke Egipte nyɔnudɔla aɖe nɔ Sarai si. Eŋkɔe nye Hagar.

Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

2 Ale Sarai gblɔ na Abram be, “Yehowa te vim. Yi nàdɔ nye kosi gbɔ, ɖewohĩ mado ƒome to edzi.” Abram lɔ̃ ɖe nya si Sarai gblɔ la dzi.

And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing: I pray you, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

3 Ale esi Abram nɔ Kanaan ƒe ewo megbe la, srɔ̃a, Sarai, tsɔ eƒe Egipte kosi, Hagar na srɔ̃ŋutsua be wòanye srɔ̃a.

And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

4 Ale Abram dɔ Hagar gbɔ, eye wòfɔ fu. Esi Hagar kpɔ be yefɔ fu la, dadagbɔgbɔ aɖe va ɖo eme, eye megabua eƒe aƒenɔ Sarai o.

And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

5 Le esia ta Sarai gblɔ na Abram be, “Wò vodadae na be nye kosi la doa vlom, togbɔ be nye ŋutɔe tsɔe na wò hã. Yehowa nadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le nye kpli wò dome.”

And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon you: I have given my maid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and you.

6 Abram ɖo eŋu be, “Meɖe mɔ na wò be nàhe to na kosi la ale si nèbu be edze.” Ale Sarai wɔ funyafunya Hagar ale gbegbe be wòsi dzo.

But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand; do to her as it pleases you. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

7 Yehowa ƒe dɔla aɖe kpɔe wòtsi tsitre ɖe vudo aɖe to le Sur mɔ dzi.

And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

8 Ale wòbiae be, “Hagar, Sarai ƒe kosi, afi ka nètso, eye afi ka yim nèle?” Hagar ɖo eŋu be, “Sisim mele le nye aƒenɔ nu.”

And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence came you? and where will you go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

9 Yehowa ƒe dɔla la yi edzi gblɔ nɛ be, “Trɔ nàyi wò aƒenɔ gbɔ, eye nàbɔbɔ ɖokuiwò nɛ,

And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.

10 elabena mana dukɔ gã aɖe nado tso mewò.

And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 Fifia, èfɔ fu; àdzi ŋutsuvi. Na ŋkɔe be Ismael, si gɔmee nye, ‘Mawu see,’ elabena Yehowa se wò konyifafa.

And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael; because the LORD has heard your affliction.

12 Viwò sia anye vi dzeaglã aɖe, eye wòawɔ nu glalaglalã abe tedzi dzeaglã ene! Atsi tsitre ɖe ame sia ame ŋu, eye nenema ke ame sia ame hã atsi tsitre ɖe eŋu. Ke hã la, anɔ teƒe ɖeka kple nɔvia bubuawo.”

And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

13 Hagar bia eɖokui be, “Ɖe mekpɔ Mawu ŋkume kple ŋkume hafi gale agbe be maƒo nu tso eŋua?” Eya ta eyɔ Yehowa ame si ƒo nu kpli la be, “Mawu si kpɔa nu.”

And she called the name of the LORD that spoke unto her, You God see me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that sees me?

14 Emegbe la, wona ŋkɔ vudo ma be Beer Lahai Roi si gɔmee nye, “Ame si le agbe, eye wòkpɔm la ƒe vudo.” Ele Kades kple Bered dome.

Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Hagar dzi ŋutsuvi na Abram, eye Abram na ŋkɔe be Ismael.

And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

16 Abram xɔ ƒe blaenyi-vɔ-ade esi Hagar dzi Ismael nɛ.

And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
