Genesis 16

1 Now Abram’s wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.

Adapun Sarai, isteri Abram itu, tidak beranak. Ia mempunyai seorang hamba perempuan, orang Mesir, Hagar namanya.

2 So Sarai said to Abram, “Look now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go to my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

Berkatalah Sarai kepada Abram: "Engkau tahu, TUHAN tidak memberi aku melahirkan anak. Karena itu baiklah hampiri hambaku itu; mungkin oleh dialah aku dapat memperoleh seorang anak." Dan Abram mendengarkan perkataan Sarai.

3 So after he had lived in Canaan for ten years, his wife Sarai took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to Abram to be his wife.

Jadi Sarai, isteri Abram itu, mengambil Hagar, hambanya, orang Mesir itu, --yakni ketika Abram telah sepuluh tahun tinggal di tanah Kanaan--, lalu memberikannya kepada Abram, suaminya, untuk menjadi isterinya.

4 And he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.

Abram menghampiri Hagar, lalu mengandunglah perempuan itu. Ketika Hagar tahu, bahwa ia mengandung, maka ia memandang rendah akan nyonyanya itu.

5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be upon you! I delivered my servant into your arms, and ever since she saw that she was pregnant, she has treated me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me.”

Lalu berkatalah Sarai kepada Abram: "Penghinaan yang kuderita ini adalah tanggung jawabmu; akulah yang memberikan hambaku ke pangkuanmu, tetapi baru saja ia tahu, bahwa ia mengandung, ia memandang rendah akan aku; TUHAN kiranya yang menjadi Hakim antara aku dan engkau."

6 “Here,” said Abram, “your servant is in your hands. Do whatever you want with her.” Then Sarai treated Hagar so harshly that she fled from her.

Kata Abram kepada Sarai: "Hambamu itu di bawah kekuasaanmu; perbuatlah kepadanya apa yang kaupandang baik." Lalu Sarai menindas Hagar, sehingga ia lari meninggalkannya.

7 Now the angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the desert—the spring along the road to Shur.

Lalu Malaikat TUHAN menjumpainya dekat suatu mata air di padang gurun, yakni dekat mata air di jalan ke Syur.

8 “Hagar, servant of Sarai,” he said, “where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I am running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.

Katanya: "Hagar, hamba Sarai, dari manakah datangmu dan ke manakah pergimu?" Jawabnya: "Aku lari meninggalkan Sarai, nyonyaku."

9 So the angel of the LORD told her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.”

Lalu kata Malaikat TUHAN itu kepadanya: "Kembalilah kepada nyonyamu, biarkanlah engkau ditindas di bawah kekuasaannya."

10 Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”

Lagi kata Malaikat TUHAN itu kepadanya: "Aku akan membuat sangat banyak keturunanmu, sehingga tidak dapat dihitung karena banyaknya."

11 The angel of the LORD proceeded: “Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your cry of affliction.

Selanjutnya kata Malaikat TUHAN itu kepadanya: "Engkau mengandung dan akan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki dan akan menamainya Ismael, sebab TUHAN telah mendengar tentang penindasan atasmu itu.

12 He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”

Seorang laki-laki yang lakunya seperti keledai liar, demikianlah nanti anak itu; tangannya akan melawan tiap-tiap orang dan tangan tiap-tiap orang akan melawan dia, dan di tempat kediamannya ia akan menentang semua saudaranya."

13 So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen the One who sees me!”

Kemudian Hagar menamakan TUHAN yang telah berfirman kepadanya itu dengan sebutan: "Engkaulah El-Roi." Sebab katanya: "Bukankah di sini kulihat Dia yang telah melihat aku?"

14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is located between Kadesh and Bered.

Sebab itu sumur tadi disebutkan orang: sumur Lahai-Roi; letaknya antara Kadesh dan Bered.

15 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.

Lalu Hagar melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Abram dan Abram menamai anak yang dilahirkan Hagar itu Ismael.

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

Abram berumur delapan puluh enam tahun, ketika Hagar melahirkan Ismael baginya.
