1 Mosebog 16

1 Og Sarai, Abrams Hustru, fødte ham ikke Børn; men hun havde en ægyptisk Pige, og hendes Navn var Hagar.

And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him [children]. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar.

2 Og Sarai sagde til Abram: Se nu, Herren har tillukket mig, at jeg kan ikke føde; kære, gak til min Pige, maaske jeg kunde bygges ved hende; og Abram lød Sarais Røst.

And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has shut me up, that I do not bear. Go in, I pray thee, to my maidservant: it may be that I shall be built up by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

3 Saa tog Sarai, Abrams Hustru, Hagar, sin ægyptiske Pige, efter Udløbet af de ti Aar, Abram havde boet i Kanaans Land, og hun gav Abram sin Mand hende til hans Hustru.

And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of ten years that Abram had dwelt in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram, as his wife.

4 Og han gik til Hagar, og hun undfik; der hun saa, at hun havde undfanget, da blev hendes Frue ringeagtet af hende.

And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was lightly esteemed in her eyes.

5 Da sagde Sarai til Abram: Den Uret sker mig formedelst dig; jeg har givet min Pige i din Favn, og hun ser, at hun har undfanget, og jeg er ringeagtet af hende; Herren skal dømme imellem mig og imellem dig.

And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on thee! I have given my maidservant into thy bosom; and now she sees that she has conceived, I am lightly esteemed in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee!

6 Da sagde Abram til Sarai: Se, din Pige er i din Haand, gør med hende, som dig godt synes; og Sarai ydmygede hende, saa flyede hun fra hendes Aasyn.

And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maidservant is in thy hand: do to her what is good in thine eyes. And Sarai oppressed her; and she fled from her face.

7 Men Herrens Engel fandt hende ved en Vandkilde i Ørken, ved den Kilde paa Vejen til Sur.

And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.

8 Og han sagde: Hagar, Sarai' Pige, hvorfra kommer du, og hvorhen gaar du? og hun sagde: Jeg flyr fra min Frue Sarai' Aasyn.

And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maidservant, whence comest thou? and whither art thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.

9 Og Herrens Engel sagde til hende: Gak tilbage til din Frue, og ydmyg dig under hendes Hænder.

And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

10 Og Herrens Engel sagde til hende: Jeg vil gøre dit Afkom meget mangfoldigt, og det skal ikke tælles for Mangfoldighed.

And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 Og Herrens Engel sagde fremdeles til hende: Se, du er frugtsommelig og skal føde en Søn, og du skal kalde hans Navn Ismael, fordi Herren har hørt din Modgang.

And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath hearkened to thy affliction.

12 Og han skal blive et vildt Menneske, hans Haand skal være imod hver, og hvers Haand imod ham, og han skal bo Østen for alle sine Brødre.

And he will be a wild-ass of a man, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell before the face of all his brethren.

13 Og hun kaldte Herrens Navn, som talede med hende: „Du mit Syns Gud‟; thi hun sagde: Mon jeg her ser efter mit Syn?

And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou art the God who reveals himself, for she said, Also here have I seen after he has revealed himself.

14 Derfor kaldte man den Kilde: Beer Lakai Roi; se, den er imellem Kades og Bered.

Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Og Hagar fødte Abram en Søn, og Abram kaldte sin Søns Navn, som Hagar fødte, Ismael.

And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

16 Og Abram var seks Aar og firsindstyve Aar gammel, der Hagar fødte Abram Ismael.

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