1 Mojžišova 16

1 Sarai pak manželka Abramova jemu nerodila; a měla děvku Egyptskou, jménem Agar.

Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar.

2 I řekla Sarai Abramovi: Aj, nyní Hospodin zavřel život můj, abych nerodila; vejdi, prosím, k děvce mé, zda bych aspoň z ní mohla míti syny. I povolil Abram řeči Sarai.

[So one day] Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So (sleep with/have sex with) [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said.

3 Tedy vzavši Sarai manželka Abramova Agar Egyptskou děvku svou, po desíti letech, jakž bydliti počal Abram v zemi Kananejské, dala ji Abramovi muži svému za ženu.

So Abram (slept with/had sex with) Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan [land]. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife.

4 I všel k Agar, kterážto počala. Viduci pak ona, že počala, zlehčila sobě paní svou.

He (slept with/had sex with) [EUP] Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress Sarai.

5 I řekla Sarai Abramovi: Křivdou mou tys vinen; já jsem dala děvku svou v lůno tvé, kterážto viduci, že počala, zlehčila mne sobě. Sudiž Hospodin mezi mnou a mezi tebou.

Then Sarai said to Abram, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to me!”

6 I řekl Abram k Sarai: Aj, děvka tvá v moci tvé; učiň s ní, cožť se za dobré vidí. Tedy trápila ji Sarai, a ona utekla od ní.

So Abram said to Sarai, “[You listen to me]! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai.

7 Našel ji pak anděl Hospodinův u studnice vody na poušti, u studnice té, kteráž jest při cestě Sur.

An angel of Yahweh found her as she was near a spring of water in the desert. It was the spring that was alongside the road to Shur.

8 A řekl: Agar, děvko Sarai, odkud jdeš, a kam se béřeš? I řekla: Od tváři Sarai paní své já utíkám.

He said to her, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I have run away from Sarai, my mistress.”

9 Tedy řekl jí anděl Hospodinův: Navrať se ku paní své, a pokoř se pod ruku její.

The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.

10 Opět řekl anděl Hospodinův: Velice rozmnožím símě tvé, aniž bude moci sečteno býti pro množství.

The angel also said to her, “I will enable you to bear so many descendants that no one will be able to count them!”

11 Potom také řekl anděl Hospodinův: Aj, ty jsi těhotná, a tudíž porodíš syna, a nazůveš jméno jeho Izmael; nebo uslyšel Hospodin trápení tvé.

The angel also said to her, “[Listen to this!] You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, [which means ‘God hears]’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.

12 Budeť pak lítý člověk; ruce jeho proti všechněm, a ruce všech proti němu; a před tváří všech bratří svých bydliti bude.

But your son will be as uncontrollable as a wild donkey [MET]. He will oppose everyone, and everyone will oppose him [MTY]. He will live far away from his relatives [SYN].”

13 I nazvala Agar jméno Hospodinovo, kterýž mluvil jí: Ty jsi silný Bůh vidění; nebo řekla: Zdaliž teď také nevidím po tom, kterýž mne viděl?

Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “(It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?)” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’.

14 Protož nazvala studnici tu studnicí Živého vidoucího mne. Aj, ta jest mezi Kádes a Barad.

That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, [which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’!] It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Porodila pak Agar Abramovi syna; a nazval Abram jméno syna svého, kteréhož porodila Agar, Izmael.

So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.

16 Abram pak byl v osmdesáti šesti letech, když mu porodila Agar Izmaele.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
