Genesis 16
1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children; and she had a servant, a woman of Egypt whose name was Hagar.
| وَأَمَّا سَارَايُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَبْرَامَ فَلَمْ تَلِدْ لَهُ. وَكَانَتْ لَهَا جَارِيَةٌ مِصْرِيَّةٌ ٱسْمُهَا هَاجَرُ، | ١ |
2 And Sarai said to Abram, See, the Lord has not let me have children; go in to my servant, for I may get a family through her. And Abram did as Sarai said.
| فَقَالَتْ سَارَايُ لِأَبْرَامَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَمْسَكَنِي عَنِ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ. ٱدْخُلْ عَلَى جَارِيَتِي لَعَلِّي أُرْزَقُ مِنْهَا بَنِينَ». فَسَمِعَ أَبْرَامُ لِقَوْلِ سَارَايَ. | ٢ |
3 So after Abram had been living for ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, and gave her to Abram for his wife.
| فَأَخَذَتْ سَارَايُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَبْرَامَ هَاجَرَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّةَ جَارِيَتَهَا، مِنْ بَعْدِ عَشَرِ سِنِينَ لإِقَامَةِ أَبْرَامَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِأَبْرَامَ رَجُلِهَا زَوْجَةً لَهُ. | ٣ |
4 And he went in to Hagar and she became with child, and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for her master's wife.
| فَدَخَلَ عَلَى هَاجَرَ فَحَبِلَتْ. وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا حَبِلَتْ صَغُرَتْ مَوْلَاتُهَا فِي عَيْنَيْهَا. | ٤ |
5 And Sarai said to Abram, May my wrong be on you: I gave you my servant for your wife and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for me: may the Lord be judge between you and me.
| فَقَالَتْ سَارَايُ لِأَبْرَامَ: «ظُلْمِي عَلَيْكَ! أَنَا دَفَعْتُ جَارِيَتِي إِلَى حِضْنِكَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا حَبِلَتْ صَغُرْتُ فِي عَيْنَيْهَا. يَقْضِي ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ». | ٥ |
6 And Abram said, The woman is in your power; do with her whatever seems good to you. And Sarai was cruel to her, so that she went running away from her.
| فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِسَارَايَ: «هُوَذَا جَارِيَتُكِ فِي يَدِكِ. ٱفْعَلِي بِهَا مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكِ». فَأَذَلَّتْهَا سَارَايُ، فَهَرَبَتْ مِنْ وَجْهِهَا. | ٦ |
7 And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
| فَوَجَدَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى عَيْنِ ٱلْمَاءِ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، عَلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ ٱلَّتِي فِي طَرِيقِ شُورَ. | ٧ |
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant, where have you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am running away from Sarai, my master's wife.
| وَقَالَ: «يَا هَاجَرُ جَارِيَةَ سَارَايَ، مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتِ؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبِينَ؟». فَقَالَتْ: «أَنَا هَارِبَةٌ مِنْ وَجْهِ مَوْلَاتِي سَارَايَ». | ٨ |
9 And the angel said to her, Go back, and put yourself under her authority.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «ٱرْجِعِي إِلَى مَوْلَاتِكِ وَٱخْضَعِي تَحْتَ يَدَيْهَا». | ٩ |
10 And the angel of the Lord said, Your seed will be greatly increased so that it may not be numbered.
| وَقَالَ لَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «تَكْثِيرًا أُكَثِّرُ نَسْلَكِ فَلَا يُعَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْكَثْرَةِ». | ١٠ |
11 And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.
| وَقَالَ لَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «هَا أَنْتِ حُبْلَى، فَتَلِدِينَ ٱبْنًا وَتَدْعِينَ ٱسْمَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ سَمِعَ لِمَذَلَّتِكِ. | ١١ |
12 And he will be like a mountain ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him, and he will keep his place against all his brothers.
| وَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ إِنْسَانًا وَحْشِيًّا، يَدُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، وَيَدُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَمَامَ جَمِيعِ إِخْوَتِهِ يَسْكُنُ». | ١٢ |
13 And to the Lord who was talking with her she gave this name, You are a God who is seen; for she said, Have I not even here in the waste land had a vision of God and am still living?
| فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ مَعَهَا: «أَنْتَ إِيلُ رُئِي». لِأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «أَهَهُنَا أَيْضًا رَأَيْتُ بَعْدَ رُؤْيَةٍ؟». | ١٣ |
14 So that fountain was named, Fountain of Life and Vision: it is between Kadesh and Bered.
| لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَتِ ٱلْبِئْرُ «بِئْرَ لَحَيْ رُئِي». هَا هِيَ بَيْنَ قَادِشَ وَبَارَدَ. | ١٤ |
15 And Hagar gave birth to a child, the son of Abram, to whom Abram gave the name of Ishmael.
| فَوَلَدَتْ هَاجَرُ لِأَبْرَامَ ٱبْنًا. وَدَعَا أَبْرَامُ ٱسْمَ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ هَاجَرُ «إِسْمَاعِيلَ». | ١٥ |
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.
| كَانَ أَبْرَامُ ٱبْنَ سِتٍّ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ هَاجَرُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ لِأَبْرَامَ. | ١٦ |
