Genesis 16 (ROW)

1Leleꞌ naa, Abram baliꞌ mia Masir, de leo sia Kanaꞌan too sanahulu ena. Sao na Sarai, nda feꞌe ma anaꞌ sa. Te Sarai ma ate inaꞌ mia Masir, naran Hagar. Lao esa ma, Sarai ola-olaꞌ no Abram nae, “Aꞌa! LAMATUALAIN babata mamana ana ngga ena. De malole lenaꞌ, muu sungguꞌ mo ate ngga Hagar, fo ana bꞌonggi fee au.” Abram tungga sao na oꞌola na boe. De Sarai fee Hagar dadꞌi Abram sao muri na.Now Abram’s wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.

4Boe ma Abram neu sungguꞌ no Hagar, de nairu. Hagar bubꞌuluꞌ eni mairuꞌ ma, ana koao, de naloe Sarai.And he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.

5Boe ma Sarai olaꞌ no Abram nae, “Au mana fee ate naa fo dadꞌi sao muri ma. Te ana bubꞌuluꞌ eni mairuꞌ, ma naloe-nadꞌae au. Ia, ho sala ma! Hela fo LAMATUALAIN naꞌetuꞌ hita ruꞌa nggita dedꞌea na. Dei fo ho bubꞌuluꞌ!”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.”

6Abram nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Ho ia, sao ulu ngga. Eni, sao muriꞌ a. Dadꞌi muꞌena koasa neu e. Mae tao saa mbali e, siaꞌ a nggo!” Boe ma Sarai tao suka-ranggaꞌ e, losa ana nela.“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.

7Hagar nela losa nembe saraꞌae ma, LAMATUALAIN ate na esa mia sorga, hambu e deka no oe mataꞌ sia dalaꞌ mana nisiꞌ Sur.Now the angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the desert—the spring along the road to Shur.

8Ana nae, “We! Hagar, Sarai ate na! Taꞌo bee de ho sia ia? Mia bee uma ma mae bee muu?” Nataa nae, “Au lao hela nyora ngga.”“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.

9De LAMATUALAIN ate na kokoe nae, “Taꞌo ia! Malole lenaꞌ baliꞌ misiꞌ nyora ma. Ana tao nggo taꞌo bee o, simboꞌ a.So the angel of the LORD told her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.”

10Afiꞌ mumutau. Dei fo au tao tititi-nonosi ma ramaheta, losa atahori nda reken rala se sa.Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”

11Ho mairuꞌ ena, de nda dooꞌ sa te, bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Musi babꞌae e Ismael (lii na naeꞌ a onaꞌ dedꞌea feaꞌ esa sosoa na ‘Lamatuaꞌ rena’), huu LAMATUALAIN rena haradꞌoi ma.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.

12Anaꞌ naa naꞌamoko nema, nasodꞌa naꞌadꞌoodꞌoꞌ no bobꞌonggi nara. Huu ana onaꞌ ndara fui e, nda rena parendaꞌ sa. Ana labꞌan sudꞌi a se. Ma basa atahori labꞌan baliꞌ e.”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.”

13Hagar rena nala ma, ana olaꞌ sia rala na nae, “Au ita LAMATUALAIN, mana mete-seꞌu ma nanea au.” De ana noꞌe Lamatualain, no naraꞌ “Lamatualain mana fadꞌuli au.”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!”

14Naa de, atahori babꞌae oe mataꞌ naa, naran, Beer Lahai Roi. Sosoa na oi, “Oe mataꞌ mia Mana masodꞌaꞌ, ma Mana mete-seꞌu au.” Oe mataꞌ naa, sia kambo Kades no kambo Beret taladꞌa na. Oe mataꞌ naa feꞌe sia, losa faiꞌ ia.Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is located between Kadesh and Bered.

15Basa naa ma, Hagar baliꞌ, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Abram babꞌae e Ismael.And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.

16Hagar bꞌonggi Ismael te, Abram too falu nulu nee ena.Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him.
