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 bore him no children; and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, 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 unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing; I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

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.

And Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar, her maid the Egyptian, 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 went in unto Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

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 unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee; I have given my maid into thy bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes; the LORD judge between me and thee.

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 unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleases thee. Then Sarai afflicted her, and she fled from her face.

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,

¶ And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way 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 didst thou come from and where wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of 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.

And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hands.

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.

¶ And the angel of the LORD also said unto her, I will multiply thy seed so exceedingly that it shall not be numbered for the 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 yet said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son and shalt call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has heard thy 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 a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

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?

And she called the name of the LORD that spoke unto her, Thou God that is seen: for she said, Have I not also here seen the back of him that sees me?

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

Therefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, 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 his son’s name, which 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.

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