1 Mosebog 16

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

And Sara the wife of Abram bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian maid, whose name was Agar.

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 Sara said to Abram, Behold, the Lord has restrained me from bearing, go therefore in to my maid, that I may get children for myself through her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sara.

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.

So Sara the wife of Abram having taken Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Chanaan, gave her to Abram her husband as a wife to him.

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 Agar, and she conceived, and saw that she was with child, and her mistress was dishonored before her.

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 Sara said to Abram, I am injured by you; I gave my handmaid into your bosom, and when I saw that she was with child, I was dishonored before her. 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.

And Abram said to Sara, Behold your handmaid is in your hands, use her as it may seem good to you. And Sara afflicted 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 an angel of the Lord found her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Sur.

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 the angel of the Lord said to her, Agar, Sara's maid, whence come you, and wither go you? and she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sara.

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 surely multiply your seed, and 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 Ismael, for the Lord has listened to your humiliation.

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.

He shall be a wild man, his hands against all, and the hands of all against him, and he shall dwell in the presence 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 the Lord God who spoke to her, You are God who see me; for she said, For I have openly seen him that appeared to me.

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

Therefore she called the well, The well of him whom I have openly seen; behold it is between Cades and Barad.

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

And Agar bore a son to Abram; and Abram called the name of his son which Agar bore to him, Ismael.

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

And Abram was eighty-six years old, when Agar bore Ismael to Abram.
