تكوين 16

١ 1 وَأَمَّا سَارَايُ زَوْجَةُ أَبْرَامَ فَقَدْ كَانَتْ عَاقِراً، وَكَانَتْ لَهَا جَارِيَةٌ مِصْرِيَّةٌ تُدْعَى هَاجَرَ.

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children, but she had an Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar.

٢ 2 فَقَالَتْ سَارَايُ لأَبْرَامَ: «هُوَذَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ حَرَمَنِي مِنَ الْوِلادَةِ، فَادْخُلْ عَلَيْهَا لَعَلَّنِي أُرْزَقُ مِنْهَا بَنِينَ». فَسَمِعَ أَبْرَامُ لِكَلامِ زَوْجَتِهِ.

Sarai said to Abram, "Look now, God has prevented me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her." Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

٣ 3 وَهَكَذَا بَعْدَ إِقَامَةِ عَشْرِ سَنَوَاتٍ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، أَخَذَتْ سَارَايُ جَارِيَتَهَا الْمِصْرِيَّةَ هَاجَرَ وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِرَجُلِهَا أَبْرَامَ لِتَكُونَ زَوْجَةً لَهُ.

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

٤ 4 فَعَاشَرَ هَاجَرَ فَحَبِلَتْ مِنْهُ. وَلَمَّا أَدْرَكَتْ أَنَّهَا حَامِلٌ هَانَتْ مَوْلاتُهَا فِي عَيْنَيْهَا،

He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

٥ 5 فَقَالَتْ سَارَايُ لأَبْرَامَ: «لِيَقَعْ ظُلْمِي عَلَيْكَ، فَأَنَا قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَ مِنْ جَارِيَتِي وَحِينَ أَدْرَكَتْ أَنَّهَا حَامِلٌ هِنْتُ فِي عَيْنَيْهَا. لِيَقْضِ الرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ».

Sarai said to Abram, "This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, she despised me. God judge between me and you."

٦ 6 فَأَجَابَهَا أَبْرَامُ: «هَا هِيَ جَارِيَتُكِ تَحْتَ تَصَرُّفِكِ، فَافْعَلِي بِها مَا يَحْلُو لَكِ». فَأَذَلَّتْهَا سَارَايُ حَتَّى هَرَبَتْ مِنْهَا.

But Abram said to Sarai, "Look, your servant is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your sight." Sarai dealt harshly with her, so she fled from her presence.

٧ 7 فَوَجَدَهَا مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ عَيْنِ الْمَاءِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى شُورٍ.

And the angel of God found her by a spring of water in the desert, by the spring on the way to Shur.

٨ 8 فَقَالَ: «يَا هَاجَرُ جَارِيَةَ سَارَايَ، مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتِ؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبِينَ؟». فَأَجَابَتْ: «إِنَّنِي هَارِبَةٌ مِنْ وَجْهِ سَيِّدَتِي سَارَايَ».

And he said, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where did you come from, and where are you going?" And she said, "I am running away from the presence of my mistress Sarai."

٩ 9 فَقَالَ لَهَا مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ: «عُودِي إِلَى مَوْلاتِكِ وَاخْضَعِي لَهَا».

The angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority."

١٠ 10 وَقَالَ لَهَا مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ: «لأُكَثِّرَنَّ نَسْلَكِ فَلا يَعُودُ يُحْصَى»،

The angel of the LORD said to her, "I will greatly multiply your descendants, so that they will be too numerous to count."

١١ 11 وَأَضَافَ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ: «هُوَذَا أَنْتِ حَامِلٌ، وَسَتَلِدِينَ ابْناً تَدْعِينَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: اللهُ يَسْمَعُ) لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ شَقَائِكِ.

Then the angel of God said to her, "Look, you are with child, and will bear a son. You are to name him Ishmael, because God has heard your affliction.

١٢ 12 وَيَكُونُ إِنْسَاناً وَحْشِيًّا يُعَادِي الْجَمِيعَ وَالْجَمِيعُ يُعَادُونَهُ، وَيَعِيشُ مُسْتَوْحِشاً مُتَحَدِّياً كُلَّ إِخْوَتِهِ».

He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. And he will live away from all of his brothers."

١٣ 13 فَدَعَتِ اسْمَ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي خَاطَبَهَا: «أَنْتَ اللهُ الَّذِي رَآنِي» لأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «حَقّاً رَأَيْتُ الآنَ الَّذِي يَرَانِي»

And she called his name, the one who spoke to her, "You are El Roi," for she said, "Here I have seen the one who sees me."

١٤ 14 لِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتِ الْبِئْرُ «بِئْرَ لَحَيْ رُئِي» (وَمَعْنَاهُ بِئْرُ الْحَيِّ الَّذِي يَرَانِي) وَهِيَ وَاقِعَةٌ بَيْنَ قَادَشَ وَبَارَدَ.

Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Look, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

١٥ 15 ثُمَّ وَلَدَتْ هَاجَرُ لأَبْرَامَ ابْناً، فَدَعَا أَبْرَامُ ابْنَهُ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ لَهُ هَاجَرُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ.

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

١٦ 16 وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ فِي السَّادِسَةِ وَالثَّمَانِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَتْ لَهُ هَاجَرُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ.

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