Genesis 16

1 Sarai, mutan kial Abram, el tiana isus tulik nu sel Abram. Tusruktu oasr mutan kulansap lal, mutan fusr Egypt se pangpang Hagar.

Now Sarai the wife of Abram, had brought forth no children; but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar,

2 Ouinge Sarai el fahk nu sel Abram, “LEUM GOD El tia lela in oasr tulik nutik. Kom ku tia tari ona yurin mutan kulansap luk? Sahp el ac ku in aolyula oswela sie tulik ah.” Abram el insese nu ke ma Sarai el fahk nu sel.

She said to her husband: Behold, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in unto my handmaid, it may be I may have children of her at least. And when he agreed to her request,

3 Ke ma inge Sarai el eisalang Hagar nu sel Abram tuh elan mutan kulansap kial. (Ma se inge sikyak tukun Abram el muta yac singoul in acn Canaan.)

She took Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, ten years after they first dwelt in the land of Chanaan, and gave her to her husband to wife.

4 Abram el ona yorol Hagar, ac el pitutuyak. Ke Hagar el etauk lah el pitutu, el inse fulatak ac kwaselak Sarai.

And he went in to her. But she, perceiving that she was with child, despised her mistress.

5 Sarai el fahk nu sel Abram, “Kom pa pwanang Hagar el srungayu uh. Nga tuh sifacna eisalot nu sum, tuh tukunna el konauk lah el pitutu ah, el nuna kwaseyu na. Lela LEUM GOD Elan aksuwosye lah su kac pwaye se uh — kom ku nga!”

And Sarai said to Abram: Thou dost unjustly with me: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and she perceiving herself to be with child, despiseth me. The Lord judge between me and thee.

6 Abram el topuk ac fahk, “Lungse na lom. Kom na pa nununkal an. Oru na ma kom lungse oru nu sel an.” Ouinge Sarai el oru arulana upa nu sel Hagar, pwanang Hagar el kaingla.

And Abram made answer, and said to her: Behold thy handmaid is in thy own hand, use her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai afflicted her, she ran away.

7 Lipufan lun LEUM GOD el sonol Hagar sisken sie unon in kof yen mwesis inkanek nu Shur

And the angel of the Lord having found her, by a fountain of water in the wilderness, which is in the way to Sur in the desert,

8 ac fahk, “Hagar, mutan kulansap lal Sarai, kom tuku oya me, ac kom ac som nu ya?” Ac Hagar el fahk, “Nga kaingla liki mutan kacto luk.”

He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she answered: I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.

9 Na lipufan sac fahk, “Folokla nu yorol ac kulansap na nu sel.”

And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand.

10 Na lipufan sac sifilpa fahk, “Nga ac fah arulana akpusye fwilin tulik nutum, ac wangin sie mwet ac ku in oakalosla.

And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 Kom ac fah oswela wen se, ac kom fah sang inel Ishmael, mweyen LEUM GOD El lipsrala pusren tung ac asor lom.

And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.

12 Tusruktu wen nutum el ac fah moul oana donkey lemnak soko. El ac fah lain mwet nukewa, ac mwet nukewa ac fah lainul. El ac fah muta srengla liki sou lal nukewa.

He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.

13 Hagar el siyuk sel sifacna, “Ku pwayena lah ngan liye God ac moul na in srumun kac?” Ouinge el pangon LEUM GOD su sramsram nu sel “Sie God Su Liye.”

And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her: Thou the God who hast seen me. For she said: Verily here have I seen the hinder parts of him that seeth me.

14 Pa inge sripa se oru mwet uh pangon lufin kof se inmasrlon Kadesh ac Bered, “Lufin Kof Lun El Su Moul Ac Liyeyu.”

Therefore she called that well, The well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad.

15 Hagar el oswela wen se nu sel Abram, ac Abram el sang inel Ishmael.

And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael.

16 Abram el yac oalngoul onkosr ke pacl sac.

Abram was four score and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael.
