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

¹And Sarai, Abram`s wife, hath not borne to him, and she hath an handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name [is] Hagar;

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.

²and Sarai saith unto Abram, `Lo, I pray thee, Jehovah hath restrained me from bearing, go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; perhaps I am built up from her;` and Abram hearkeneth to the voice of Sarai.

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.

³And Sarai, Abram`s wife, taketh Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, at the end of the tenth year of Abram`s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and giveth her to Abram her husband, to him for a wife,

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.

⁴and he goeth in unto Hagar, and she conceiveth, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and her mistress is lightly esteemed in her eyes.

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.

⁵And Sarai saith unto Abram, `My violence [is] for thee; I — I have given mine handmaid into thy bosom, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and I am lightly esteemed in her eyes; Jehovah doth judge between me and thee.`

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.

⁶And Abram saith unto Sarai, `Lo, thine handmaid [is] in thine hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes;` and Sarai afflicted her, and she fleeth from her presence.

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.

⁷And a messenger of Jehovah findeth her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way [to] Shur,

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

⁸and he saith, `Hagar, Sarai`s handmaid, whence hast thou come, and whither dost thou go?` and she saith, `From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.`

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

⁹And the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Turn back unto thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hands;`

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

¹⁰and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Multiplying I multiply thy seed, and it is not numbered from multitude;`

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.

¹¹and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Behold thou [art] conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine affliction;

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.

¹²and he is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and every one`s hand against him — and before the face of all his brethren he dwelleth.`

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?

¹³And she calleth the name of Jehovah who is speaking unto her, `Thou [art], O God, my beholder;` for she said, `Even here have I looked behind my beholder?`

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

¹⁴therefore hath one called the well, `The well of the Living One, my beholder;` lo, between Kadesh and Bered.

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.

¹⁵And Hagar beareth to Abram a son; and Abram calleth the name of his son, whom Hagar hath borne, Ishmael;

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

¹⁶and Abram [is] a son of eighty and six years in Hagar`s bearing Ishmael to Abram.
