Postanak 16
1 Abramova žena Saraja nije mu rađala djece. A imaše ona sluškinju Egipćanku - zvala se Hagara.
Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, 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.
Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD has restrained 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.
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.
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.
4 Uđe on k Hagari te ona zače. A kad je vidjela da je začela, s prezirom je gledala na svoju gospodaricu.
He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised 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!”
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. May the LORD judge between me and you.”
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.
But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.
7 Anđeo Jahvin nađe je kod izvora u pustinji - uz vrelo što je na putu prema Šuru -
The LORD’s angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
8 pa je zapita: “Hagaro, sluškinjo Sarajina, odakle dolaziš i kamo ideš?” “Bježim, evo, od svoje gospodarice Saraje”, odgovori ona.
He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where did you come from? Where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.”
9 Nato joj anđeo Jahvin reče: “Vrati se svojoj gospodarici i pokori joj se!”
The LORD’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.”
10 Još joj reče anđeo Jahvin: “Tvoje ću potomstvo silno umnožiti; od mnoštva se neće moći ni prebrojiti.”
The LORD’s angel said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted 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.
The LORD’s angel said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your affliction.
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.”
He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposed to all of his brothers.”
13 A Jahvu koji joj govoraše nazva: “Ti si El Roi - Svevid Bog”, jer - reče ona - “vidjeh Boga i nakon viđenja - još živim!”
She called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”
14 Stoga se taj zdenac zove Beer Lahaj Roi - Zdenac životvornog Svevida, a eno ga između Kadeša i Bereda.
Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Rodi Hagara Abramu sina, a Abram sinu što mu ga rodi Hagara nadjene ime Jišmael.
Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 Abramu je bilo osamdeset i šest godina kad mu je Hagara rodila Jišmaela.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
