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, but she had an Egyptian servant 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.

Sarai said to Abram, "Look now, God has prevented 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 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 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 Og han gik til Hagar, og hun undfik; der hun saa, at hun havde undfanget, da blev hendes Frue ringeagtet af hende.

He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. 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.

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. God 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, "Look, your servant is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your sight." Sarai dealt harshly with her, so she fled from her presence.

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

And the angel of God found her by a spring of water in the desert, 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, servant of Sarai, where did you come from, and where are you going?" And she said, "I am running away from the presence of my mistress Sarai."

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

The angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority."

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

The angel of the LORD said to her, "I will greatly multiply your descendants, so that they will be too numerous to count."

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.

Then the angel of God said to her, "Look, you are with child, and will bear a son. You are to name him Ishmael, because God 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.

He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. And he will live away from all of 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 his name, the one who spoke to her, "You are El Roi," for she said, "Here I have seen the one who sees me."

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

Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Look, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

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

Hagar bore a son for Abram. 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.

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