< Genesis 16 >

1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no sons. And she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Abrams Hustru Saraj fødte ham intet Barn. Men Saraj havde en Ægyptisk Trælkvinde ved Navn Hagar;
2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has restrained me from bearing. Go in, I pray thee, to my handmaid. It may be that I will obtain sons by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
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.
3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.
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;
4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
og han gik ind til Hagar, og hun blev frugtsommelig. Men da hun saa, at hun var frugtsommelig, lod hun haant om sin Herskerinde.
5 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be upon thee. I gave my handmaid into they bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee.
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!«
6 But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.
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.
7 And the agent of Jehovah found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
Men HERRENS Engel fandt hende ved Vandkilden i Ørkenen, ved Kilden paa Vejen til Sjur;
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, from where have thou come? And where are thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.
og han sagde: »Hvorfra kommer du, Hagar, Sarajs Trælkvinde, og hvor gaar du hen?« Hun svarede: »Jeg flygter for min Herskerinde Saraj!«
9 And the agent of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Da sagde HERRENS Engel til hende: »Vend tilbage til din Herskerinde og find dig i hendes Mishandling!«
10 And the agent of Jehovah said to her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Og HERRENS Engel sagde til hende: »Jeg vil gøre dit Afkom saa talrigt, at det ikke kan tælles.«
11 And the agent of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou are with child, and shall bear a son, and thou shall call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah has heard thy affliction.
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;
12 And he will be a wild donkey among men, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brothers.
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!«
13 And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou are a God who sees, for she said, Have I even here looked behind him who sees me?
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?«
14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Derfor kaldte man Brønden Be'er-lahaj-ro'i; den ligger mellem Kadesj og Bered.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son. And Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Og Hagar fødte Abram en Søn, og Abram kaldte Sønnen, Hagar fødte ham, Ismael.
16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Abram var seks og firsindstyve Aar gammel, da Hagar fødte ham Ismael.
