Sarai, Abram's wife, had no children;
Her slave girl Hagar was an Egyptian;
Sarai offered this girl to Abram,
As a solution to this problem.
When Hagar became pregnant,
She turned very much arrogant.
She despised her mistress;
This put Sarai in distress.
When Sarai told this to Abram,
He told her to handle the same;
She treated the slave cruelly;
The girl ran away silently.
En way, the Lord's angel
Advised the slave girl,
To go back to her mistress
And continue her services.
He said, 'You'll have a son.
He'll be against everyone.
He'll be liked by none.
And always live alone.'
Born was a son to the slave girl;
Abram named him Ishmael;
Eighty-six years old he was then,
When thro' this girl, he got his son.

I would like to translate this poem
The tragic result of Abraham and Sarah's lack of faith that God would keep His promise to give them a child in His own time.Excellent work, Simon. Regards, Sandra
