1 N a kahore a Harai, te wahine a Aperama, i whai tamariki mana; na he pononga wahine tana, no Ihipa, ko Hakara tona ingoa.

Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. She had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar.

2 N a ka mea a Harai ki a Aperama, Nana, kua tutakina nei ahau e Ihowa kei whanau tamariki: mau e haere ki roto, ki taku pononga; mana pea ahau e tu ai. A ka whakarongo a Aperama ki te reo o Harai.

And Sarai said to Abram, See here, the Lord has restrained me from bearing. I am asking you to have intercourse with my maid; it may be that I can obtain children by her. And Abram listened to and heeded what Sarai said.

3 N a ka tango a Harai, wahine a Aperama i a Hakara, i te wahine o Ihipa, i tana pononga, i te takanga o nga tau kotahi tekau o te nohoanga o Aperama i te whenua o Kanaana, a homai ana e ia ki a Aperama, ki tana tane, hei wahine mana.

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

4 N a ka haere ia ki roto, ki a Hakara, a ka hapu ia: a, no tona kitenga kua hapu ia, ka iti tona rangatira wahine ki tana titiro.

And he had intercourse with Hagar, and she became pregnant; and when she saw that she was with child, she looked with contempt upon her mistress and despised her.

5 N a ka mea a Harai ki a Aperama, Hei runga i a koe tenei tutu ki ahau: i hoatu e ahau taku pononga wahine ki tou uma; a, no tona kitenga kua hapu ia, ka iti ahau ki tana titiro iho: ma Ihowa e whakariterite taku korero me tau hoki.

Then Sarai said to Abram, May my wrong and deprivation of rights be upon you! I gave my maid into your bosom, and when she saw that she was with child, I was contemptible and despised in her eyes. May the Lord be the judge between you and me.

6 N a ka mea a Aperama ki a Harai, Ha, kei tou ringa ano tau pononga; mau e mea ki a ia te mea e pai ana ki tau titiro iho. Na ka whakatupu kino a Harai i a ia, a rere ana ia i tona aroaro.

But Abram said to Sarai, See here, your maid is in your hands and power; do as you please with her. And when Sarai dealt severely with her, humbling and afflicting her, she fled from her.

7 A ka kitea ia e te anahera a te Atua i tetahi puna wai i te koraha, i te puna i te huarahi ki Huru,

But the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness on the road to Shur.

8 K a mea, E Hakara, e te pononga a Harai, i haere mai koe i hea? e anga ana hoki koe ko hea? a ka mea ia, E rere ana ahau i a Harai, i toku rangatira.

And He said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where did you come from, and where are you intending to go? And she said, I am running away from my mistress Sarai.

9 N a ka mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a ia, Hoki atu ki tou rangatira, kia whakaririka hoki koe i raro i ona ringa.

The Angel of the Lord said to her, Go back to your mistress and submit to her control.

10 K a mea ano te anahera a Ihowa ki a ia, Ka whakanuia rawatia e ahau tou uri, a e kore e taea te tatau, i te tini hoki.

Also the Angel of the Lord said to her, I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 I mea ano te anahera a Ihowa ki a ia, Nana, e hapu ana koe, a ka whanau he tama, me hua e koe tona ingoa ko Ihimaera; mo Ihowa i whakarongo ki tau tangi.

And the Angel of the Lord continued, See now, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard and paid attention to your affliction.

12 A ka rite ia ki te kaihe mohoao i waenganui o te tangata; ka ara tona ringa ki te katoa, me te ringa o te katoa ki a ia; a ka noho ia i te aroaro o ona teina katoa.

And he will be as a wild ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man’s hand against him, and he will live to the east and on the borders of all his kinsmen.

13 N a ka huaina e ia te ingoa o Ihowa i korero nei ki a ia, He Atua koe e kite ana: i mea hoki ia, I titiro ranei ahau i koeni ki muri i toku kaititiro mai?

So she called the name of the Lord Who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Have I even here looked upon Him Who sees me ? Or have I here also seen Him Who sees me?

14 K oia i huaina ai taua puna ko Peererahairoi; na, kei waenganui i Karehe, i Perere.

Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 N a ka whanau te tama a Hakara raua ko Aperama: a huaina ana e Aperama te ingoa o tana tama, i whanau nei i a Hakara, ko Ihimaera.

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

16 N a e waru tekau ma ono nga tau o Aperama i te whanautanga o Ihimaera tama a Hakara raua ko Aperama.

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