¹Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

¹ Amma Abram wando Saray mana ize hay a se. A gonda koŋŋo fo kaŋ Misirance no, kaŋ a maa ga ti Hajaratu.

¹Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bare him no children: and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

²Sarai said to Abram, “See now, Yahweh has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my handmaid. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

² Saray ne Abram se: «Guna, Irikoy n'ay ganji hayyaŋ. Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma margu nd'ay koŋŋa. Hambara ay ga du izeyaŋ a do.» Abram mo maa Saray sanno.

²And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, Jehovah hath restrained me from bearing; go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

³Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.

³ Kal Abram wando Saray na nga koŋŋa Misiranca Hajaratu sambu ka no nga kurnyo Abram se, a ma ciya a se wande. Waato din Abram to jiiri way Kanaana laabo ra da goray.

³And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.

⁴He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

⁴ A margu nda Hajaratu, nga mo te gunde. Saaya kaŋ a di nga te gunde, kal a donda nga koyo Saray.

⁴And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

⁵Sarai said to Abram, “This wrong is your fault. I gave my handmaid into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Yahweh judge between me and you.”

⁵ Saray ne Abram se: «Ay taalo go ni boŋ. Ay na ni no ay koŋŋa ni gande ra. Nga mo, waato kaŋ a te gunde, ay ciya a se donda-caray hari. Rabbi ma ciiti in da nin game ra.»

⁵And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I gave my handmaid into they bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: Jehovah judge between me and thee.

⁶But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

⁶ Amma Abram ne Saray se: «Ni koŋŋa go ni kambe ra. Kala ni ma te a se haŋ kaŋ ni ga ba.» Saray mo n'a kankam gumo hal a zuru a se.

⁶But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt hardly with her, and she fled from her face.

⁷The angel of Yahweh found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

⁷ Rabbi malayka mo n'a gar, a go hari-mo fo jarga ganjo ra. Hari-mwa din go Sur fonda gaa.

⁷And the angel of Jehovah found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

⁸He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, where did you come from? Where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.”

⁸ A ne: «Hajaratu, Saray koŋŋa, man ni fun? Man no ni ga koy?» A ne: «Ay zuru no ay koyo Saray se.»

⁸And he said, Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, whence camest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.

¹⁰And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

¹¹The angel of Yahweh said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because Yahweh has heard your affliction.

¹¹And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath heard thy affliction.

¹²He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposite all of his brothers.”

¹² Nga mo, a ga hima danga ganji farka borey game ra. A kamba ga yanje nda boro kulu wane, boro kulu kambe mo ga yanje nd'a. A ga goro mo nga nya-izey jine.»

¹²And he shall be [as] a wild ass among men; his hand [shall be] against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his brethren.

¹³She called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”

¹³And she called the name of Jehovah that spake unto her, Thou art a God that seeth: for she said, Have I even here looked after him that seeth me?

¹⁴Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Beer Lahai Roi means “well of the one who lives and sees me.” Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
