اَلتَّكْوِينُ 16
| وَأَمَّا سَارَايُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَبْرَامَ فَلَمْ تَلِدْ لَهُ. وَكَانَتْ لَهَا جَارِيَةٌ مِصْرِيَّةٌ ٱسْمُهَا هَاجَرُ، | ١ 1 |
And Sarai, Abram’s wife, has not borne to him, and she has a handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name [is] Hagar;
| فَقَالَتْ سَارَايُ لِأَبْرَامَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَمْسَكَنِي عَنِ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ. ٱدْخُلْ عَلَى جَارِيَتِي لَعَلِّي أُرْزَقُ مِنْهَا بَنِينَ». فَسَمِعَ أَبْرَامُ لِقَوْلِ سَارَايَ. | ٢ 2 |
and Sarai says to Abram, “Now behold, YHWH has restrained me from bearing, please go in to my handmaid; perhaps I am built up from her”; and Abram listens to the voice of Sarai.
| فَأَخَذَتْ سَارَايُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَبْرَامَ هَاجَرَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّةَ جَارِيَتَهَا، مِنْ بَعْدِ عَشَرِ سِنِينَ لإِقَامَةِ أَبْرَامَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِأَبْرَامَ رَجُلِهَا زَوْجَةً لَهُ. | ٣ 3 |
And Sarai, Abram’s wife, takes Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, at the end of the tenth year of Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gives her to her husband Abram—to him for a wife,
| فَدَخَلَ عَلَى هَاجَرَ فَحَبِلَتْ. وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا حَبِلَتْ صَغُرَتْ مَوْلَاتُهَا فِي عَيْنَيْهَا. | ٤ 4 |
and he goes in to Hagar, and she conceives, and she sees that she has conceived, and her mistress is lightly esteemed in her eyes.
| فَقَالَتْ سَارَايُ لِأَبْرَامَ: «ظُلْمِي عَلَيْكَ! أَنَا دَفَعْتُ جَارِيَتِي إِلَى حِضْنِكَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا حَبِلَتْ صَغُرْتُ فِي عَيْنَيْهَا. يَقْضِي ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ». | ٥ 5 |
And Sarai says to Abram, “My violence [is] for you; I have given my handmaid into your bosom, and she sees that she has conceived, and I am lightly esteemed in her eyes; YHWH judges between me and you.”
| فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِسَارَايَ: «هُوَذَا جَارِيَتُكِ فِي يَدِكِ. ٱفْعَلِي بِهَا مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكِ». فَأَذَلَّتْهَا سَارَايُ، فَهَرَبَتْ مِنْ وَجْهِهَا. | ٦ 6 |
And Abram says to Sarai, “Behold, your handmaid [is] in your hand, do to her that which is good in your eyes”; and Sarai afflicted her, and she flees from her presence.
| فَوَجَدَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى عَيْنِ ٱلْمَاءِ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، عَلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ ٱلَّتِي فِي طَرِيقِ شُورَ. | ٧ 7 |
And the Messenger of YHWH finds her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way [to] Shur,
| وَقَالَ: «يَا هَاجَرُ جَارِيَةَ سَارَايَ، مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتِ؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبِينَ؟». فَقَالَتْ: «أَنَا هَارِبَةٌ مِنْ وَجْهِ مَوْلَاتِي سَارَايَ». | ٨ 8 |
and He says, “Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, from where have you come, and to where do you go?” And she says, “From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.”
| فَقَالَ لَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «ٱرْجِعِي إِلَى مَوْلَاتِكِ وَٱخْضَعِي تَحْتَ يَدَيْهَا». | ٩ 9 |
And the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hands”;
| وَقَالَ لَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «تَكْثِيرًا أُكَثِّرُ نَسْلَكِ فَلَا يُعَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْكَثْرَةِ». | ١٠ 10 |
and the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Multiplying I multiply your seed, and it is not numbered from multitude”;
| وَقَالَ لَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «هَا أَنْتِ حُبْلَى، فَتَلِدِينَ ٱبْنًا وَتَدْعِينَ ٱسْمَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ سَمِعَ لِمَذَلَّتِكِ. | ١١ 11 |
and the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Behold you [are] conceiving, and bearing a son, and have called his name Ishmael, for YHWH has listened to your affliction;
| وَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ إِنْسَانًا وَحْشِيًّا، يَدُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، وَيَدُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَمَامَ جَمِيعِ إِخْوَتِهِ يَسْكُنُ». | ١٢ 12 |
and he is a wild-donkey man, his hand against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him—and before the face of all his brothers he dwells.”
| فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ مَعَهَا: «أَنْتَ إِيلُ رُئِي». لِأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «أَهَهُنَا أَيْضًا رَأَيْتُ بَعْدَ رُؤْيَةٍ؟». | ١٣ 13 |
And she calls the Name of YHWH who is speaking to her, “You [are], O God, my beholder”; for she said, “Even here have I looked behind my beholder?”
| لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَتِ ٱلْبِئْرُ «بِئْرَ لَحَيْ رُئِي». هَا هِيَ بَيْنَ قَادِشَ وَبَارَدَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Therefore has one called the well, “The well of the Living One, my beholder”; behold, between Kadesh and Bered.
| فَوَلَدَتْ هَاجَرُ لِأَبْرَامَ ٱبْنًا. وَدَعَا أَبْرَامُ ٱسْمَ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ هَاجَرُ «إِسْمَاعِيلَ». | ١٥ 15 |
And Hagar bears a son to Abram; and Abram calls the name of his son, whom Hagar has borne, Ishmael;
| كَانَ أَبْرَامُ ٱبْنَ سِتٍّ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ هَاجَرُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ لِأَبْرَامَ. | ١٦ 16 |
and Abram [is] a son of eighty-six years in Hagar’s bearing Ishmael to Abram.
