¹And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him [children]. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar.

¹[Ny nahaterahan'Isimaela] Ary Saray, vadin'i Abrama, tsy mba niteraka; ary izy nanana mpanompovavy Egyptiana, Hagara no anarany.

²And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has shut me up, that I do not bear. Go in, I pray thee, to my maidservant: it may be that I shall be built up by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

²Ary 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.

³And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of ten years that Abram had dwelt in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram, as his wife.

³Ary 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.

⁴And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was lightly esteemed in her eyes.

⁴Dia nivady tamin'i Hagara izy, ka nanan'anaka ravehivavy; ary rehefa hitany fa efa manan'anaka izy, dia nataony toy ny tsinontsinona ny tompovaviny.

⁵And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on thee! I have given my maidservant into thy bosom; and now she sees that she has conceived, I am lightly esteemed in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee!

⁵Ary 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.

⁶And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maidservant is in thy hand: do to her what is good in thine eyes. And Sarai oppressed her; and she fled from her face.

⁶Ary 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.

⁷And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.

⁷Ary 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.

⁸And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maidservant, whence comest thou? and whither art thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.

⁸Ary hoy Izy: Ry Hagara, andevovavin'i Saray, avy taiza ianao? Ary hankaiza? Ary hoy izy; Mandositra ny tavan'i Saray tompovaviko aho.

⁹And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

⁹Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah taminy: Miverena any amin'ny tompovavinao ka miareta izay ataony aminao.

¹⁰And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

¹⁰Ary hoy koa Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah taminy: Hataoko maro indrindra ny taranakao, ka tsy ho azo isaina izy noho ny hamaroany.

¹¹And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath hearkened to thy affliction.

¹¹Ary 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.

¹²And he will be a wild-ass of a man, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell before the face of all his brethren.

¹²Ary 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.

¹³And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou art the ùGod who reveals himself, for she said, Also here have I seen after he has revealed himself.

¹³Ary 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?

¹⁴Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

¹⁴Izany no nanaovana ny lavaka fantsakana hoe: Bera-lahai-roy; indro, eo anelanelan'i Kadesy sy Bareda izany.

¹⁵And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

¹⁵Ary Hagara dia niteraka zazalahy tamin'i Abrama; ary ny anaran'ny zanany izay naterany dia nataon'i Abrama hoe Isimaela.Ary efa enina amby valo-polo taona Abrama, raha Hagara niteraka an'Isimaela taminy.

¹⁶And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

¹⁶Ary efa enina amby valo-polo taona Abrama, raha Hagara niteraka an'Isimaela taminy.
