Genesis 16:3 · Berean Standard Bible
So after he had lived in Canaan for ten years, his wife Sarai took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to Abram to be his wife.
Context
1Basi Sarai, mkewe Abramu, alikuwa hajamzalia watoto. Lakini alikuwa na mtumishi wa kike Mmisri jina lake Hagari, 2hivyo Sarai akamwambia Abramu, “Bwana amenizuilia kupata watoto. Nenda, ukakutane kimwili na mtumishi wangu wa kike, huenda nitaweza kupata watoto kupitia kwake.”
Abramu akakubaliana na lile Sarai alilosema. 3Hivyo baada ya Abramu kuishi katika nchi ya Kanaani miaka kumi, Sarai akamchukua mtumishi wake wa kike wa Kimisri, Hagari na kumpa mumewe awe mke wake. 4Akakutana kimwili na Hagari, naye akapata mimba.
Hagari alipojua kuwa ana mimba, alianza kumdharau Sarai. 5Ndipo Sarai akamwambia Abramu, “Unawajibika na manyanyaso ninayoyapata. Nilimweka mtumishi wangu mikononi mwako, sasa kwa vile anajua kwamba ana mimba, ananidharau mimi. Bwana na aamue kati yako na mimi.”
