1 Mosebog 16
1 Abrams Hustru Saraj fødte ham intet Barn. Men Saraj havde en Ægyptisk Trælkvinde ved Navn Hagar;
And Sarai, Abram’s wife, has not borne to him, and she has a handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name [is] Hagar;
2 og Saraj sagde til Abram: »HERREN har jo nægtet mig Børn; gaa derfor ind til min Trælkvinde, maaske kan jeg faa en Søn ved hende!« Og Abram adlød Saraj.
and Sarai says to Abram, “Now behold, YHWH has restrained me from bearing, please go in to my handmaid; perhaps I am built up from her”; and Abram listens to the voice of Sarai.
3 Saa tog Abrams Hustru Saraj sin Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, efter at Abram havde boet ti Aar i Kana'ans Land, og gav sin Mand Abram hende til Hustru;
And Sarai, Abram’s wife, takes Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, at the end of the tenth year of Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gives her to her husband Abram—to him for a wife,
4 og han gik ind til Hagar, og hun blev frugtsommelig. Men da hun saa, at hun var frugtsommelig, lod hun haant om sin Herskerinde.
and he goes in to Hagar, and she conceives, and she sees that she has conceived, and her mistress is lightly esteemed in her eyes.
5 Da sagde Saraj til Abram: »Min Krænkelse komme over dig! Jeg lagde selv min Trælkvinde i din Favn, og nu hun ser, at hun skal føde, lader hun haant om mig; HERREN være Dommer mellem mig og dig!«
And Sarai says to Abram, “My violence [is] for you; I have given my handmaid into your bosom, and she sees that she has conceived, and I am lightly esteemed in her eyes; YHWH judges between me and you.”
6 Abram svarede Saraj: »Din Trælkvinde er i din Haand, gør med hende, hvad du finder for godt!« Da plagede Saraj hende, saa hun flygtede for hende.
And Abram says to Sarai, “Behold, your handmaid [is] in your hand, do to her that which is good in your eyes”; and Sarai afflicted her, and she flees from her presence.
7 Men HERRENS Engel fandt hende ved Vandkilden i Ørkenen, ved Kilden paa Vejen til Sjur;
And the Messenger of YHWH finds her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way [to] Shur,
8 og han sagde: »Hvorfra kommer du, Hagar, Sarajs Trælkvinde, og hvor gaar du hen?« Hun svarede: »Jeg flygter for min Herskerinde Saraj!«
and He says, “Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, from where have you come, and to where do you go?” And she says, “From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.”
9 Da sagde HERRENS Engel til hende: »Vend tilbage til din Herskerinde og find dig i hendes Mishandling!«
And the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hands”;
10 Og HERRENS Engel sagde til hende: »Jeg vil gøre dit Afkom saa talrigt, at det ikke kan tælles.«
and the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Multiplying I multiply your seed, and it is not numbered from multitude”;
11 Og HERRENS Engel sagde til hende: »Se, du er frugtsommelig, og du skal føde en Søn, som du skal kalde Ismael, thi HERREN har hørt, hvad du har lidt;
and the Messenger of YHWH says to her, “Behold you [are] conceiving, and bearing a son, and have called his name Ishmael, for YHWH has listened to your affliction;
12 og han skal blive et Menneske-Vildæsel, hvis Haand er mod alle, og alles Haand mod ham, og han skal ligge i Strid med alle sine Frænder!«
and he is a wild-donkey man, his hand against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him—and before the face of all his brothers he dwells.”
13 Saa gav hun HERREN, der havde talet til hende, Navnet: Du er en Gud, som ser; thi hun sagde: »Har jeg virkelig her set et Glimt af ham, som ser mig?«
And she calls the Name of YHWH who is speaking to her, “You [are], O God, my beholder”; for she said, “Even here have I looked behind my beholder?”
14 Derfor kaldte man Brønden Be'er-lahaj-ro'i; den ligger mellem Kadesj og Bered.
Therefore has one called the well, “The well of the Living One, my beholder”; behold, between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Og Hagar fødte Abram en Søn, og Abram kaldte Sønnen, Hagar fødte ham, Ismael.
And Hagar bears a son to Abram; and Abram calls the name of his son, whom Hagar has borne, Ishmael;
16 Abram var seks og firsindstyve Aar gammel, da Hagar fødte ham Ismael.
and Abram [is] a son of eighty-six years in Hagar’s bearing Ishmael to Abram.
