1 Mosebog 16

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

Now Sarai Abram’s wife bore him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose 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, the LORD has restrained me from bearing: I pray you, go in to my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram listened 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 her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelled ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be 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 despised 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 you: I have given my maid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and you.

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.

But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand; do to her as it pleases you. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, 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 the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in 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 maid, from where came you? and where will you go? And she said, I flee 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 the LORD said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself 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 the LORD said to her, I will multiply your 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 the LORD said to her, Behold, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael; because the LORD has heard your 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 man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brothers.

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 the LORD that spoke to her, You God see me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that sees me?

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

Why the well was called Beerlahairoi; 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 his son’s name, which Hagar bore, Ishmael.

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

And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
