Postanak 16
1 Abramova žena Saraja nije mu rađala djece. A imaše ona sluškinju Egipćanku - zvala se Hagara.
But Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children, —she had, however, an Egyptian handmaid, whose name was Hagar.
2 I reče Saraja Abramu: “Vidiš, Jahve me učinio nerotkinjom. Hajde k mojoj sluškinji, možda ću imati djece.” Abram posluša riječ Sarajinu.
So then Sarai said unto Abram Behold, I pray thee, Yahweh hath restrained me, from bearing, go in I pray thee unto, my handmaid, peradventure I may be built up from, her, And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3 Tako, pošto je Abram proboravio deset godina u zemlji kanaanskoj, njegova žena Saraja uzme Hagaru, Egipćanku, sluškinju svoju, pa je dade svome mužu Abramu za ženu.
So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian. her handmaid, at the end of ten years of Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband, to be to him as a wife.
4 Uđe on k Hagari te ona zače. A kad je vidjela da je začela, s prezirom je gledala na svoju gospodaricu.
And he went in unto Hagar and she conceived, —and when she saw that she had conceived, lightly esteemed, was her lady, in her eyes.
5 Tada reče Saraja Abramu: “Nepravda što se meni nanosi tvoja je krivnja! Prepustila sam svoju sluškinju tvome zagrljaju, ali otkako opazi da je zanijela, s prezirom na me gleda. Jahve sudio i meni i tebi!”
Then said Sarai unto Abram: My wrong, is, on thee! I, gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and when she seeth that she hath conceived, then am I lightly esteemed in her eyes Yahweh judge betwixt me and her.
6 Nato Abram odvrati Saraji: “Tvoja je sluškinja u tvojoj ruci: kako ti se čini da je dobro, tako prema njoj postupi!” Saraja postupi prema njoj tako loše da ona od nje pobježe.
And Abram said unto Sarai, Lo! thy handmaid, is in thy hand, do to her what is good in thine eyes. So Sarai humbled her, and she fled from her face.
7 Anđeo Jahvin nađe je kod izvora u pustinji - uz vrelo što je na putu prema Šuru -
And the messenger of Yahweh found her by the fountain of water in the desert, —by the fountain in the way to Shur.
8 pa je zapita: “Hagaro, sluškinjo Sarajina, odakle dolaziš i kamo ideš?” “Bježim, evo, od svoje gospodarice Saraje”, odgovori ona.
So he said Hagar! handmaid of Sarai! Whence hast thou come, and whither wouldst thou go? And she said, From the face of Sarai, my lady, am, I, fleeing.
9 Nato joj anđeo Jahvin reče: “Vrati se svojoj gospodarici i pokori joj se!”
And the messenger of Yahweh said to her, Return unto thy lady, —and humble thyself under her hands.
10 Još joj reče anđeo Jahvin: “Tvoje ću potomstvo silno umnožiti; od mnoštva se neće moći ni prebrojiti.”
And the messenger of Yahweh said to her, I will, greatly multiply, thy seed—so that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 Dalje joj je anđeo Jahvin rekao: “Gle, zanijela si i rodit ćeš sina. Nadjeni mu ime Jišmael, jer Jahve ču jad tvoj.
And the messenger of Yahweh said to her, Behold thee! with child, and about bearing a son—and thou shalt call his name Ishmael ["God hearkeneth"] for Yahweh hath hearkened unto thy humiliation.
12 On će biti kao divlje magare: ruka će se njegova dizati na svakoga i svačija ruka na njega; i pred licem sve mu braće on će stan sebi podići.”
But, he, will be a wild ass of a man, his hand, against every one, and every one’s hand against him—yet, in presence of all his brethren, shall he have his habitation.
13 A Jahvu koji joj govoraše nazva: “Ti si El Roi - Svevid Bog”, jer - reče ona - “vidjeh Boga i nakon viđenja - još živim!”
And she called the name of Yahweh, who had spoken unto her, Thou GOD of vision! For she said. Do I even here, retain my vision after a vision?
14 Stoga se taj zdenac zove Beer Lahaj Roi - Zdenac životvornog Svevida, a eno ga između Kadeša i Bereda.
On this account, is the well called, the well of the life of vision, lo! it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Rodi Hagara Abramu sina, a Abram sinu što mu ga rodi Hagara nadjene ime Jišmael.
So Hagar bare to Abram a son, —and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16 Abramu je bilo osamdeset i šest godina kad mu je Hagara rodila Jišmaela.
Now, Abram, was eighty—six years old, —when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
