< Genesis 16 >

1 And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him [children]. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar.
Igitur Sarai, uxor Abram, non genuerat liberos: sed habens ancillam Ægyptiam nomine Agar,
2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has shut me up, that I do not bear. Go in, I pray thee, to my maidservant: it may be that I shall be built up by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
dixit marito suo: Ecce, conclusit me Dominus, ne parerem: ingredere ad ancillam meam, si forte saltem ex illa suscipiam filios. Cumque ille acquiesceret deprecanti,
3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of ten years that Abram had dwelt in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram, as his wife.
tulit Agar Ægyptiam ancillam suam post annos decem quam habitare cœperant in terra Chanaan: et dedit eam viro suo uxorem.
4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was lightly esteemed in her eyes.
Qui ingressus est ad eam. At illa concepisse se videns, despexit dominam suam.
5 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on thee! I have given my maidservant into thy bosom; and now she sees that she has conceived, I am lightly esteemed in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee!
Dixitque Sarai ad Abram: Inique agis contra me: ego dedi ancillam meam in sinum tuum, quæ videns quod conceperit, despectui me habet. iudicet Dominus inter me, et te.
6 And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maidservant is in thy hand: do to her what is good in thine eyes. And Sarai oppressed her; and she fled from her face.
Cui respondens Abram: Ecce, ait, ancilla tua in manu tua est, utere ea ut libet. Affligente igitur eam Sarai, fugam iniit.
7 And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
Cumque invenisset eam angelus Domini iuxta fontem aquæ in solitudine, qui est in via Sur in deserto,
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maidservant, whence comest thou? and whither art thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.
dixit ad illam: Agar ancilla Sarai, unde venis? et quo vadis? quæ respondit: A facie Sarai dominæ meæ ego fugio.
9 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Dixitque ei angelus Domini: Revertere ad dominam tuam, et humiliare sub manu illius.
10 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Et rursum: Multiplicans, inquit, multiplicabo semen tuum, et non numerabitur præ multitudine.
11 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath hearkened to thy affliction.
Ac deinceps: Ecce, ait, concepisti, et paries filium: vocabisque nomen eius Ismael, eo quod audierit Dominus afflictionem tuam.
12 And he will be a wild-ass of a man, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell before the face of all his brethren.
Hic erit ferus homo: manus eius contra omnes, et manus omnium contra eum: et e regione universorum fratrum suorum figet tabernacula.
13 And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou art the God who reveals himself, for she said, Also here have I seen after he has revealed himself.
Vocavit autem nomen Domini qui loquebatur ad eam: Tu Deus qui vidisti me. Dixit enim: Profecto hic vidi posteriora videntis me.
14 Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Propterea appellavit puteum illum, Puteum viventis et videntis me. Ipse est inter Cades et Barad.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Peperitque Agar Abræ filium: qui vocavit nomen eius Ismael.
16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Octoginta et sex annorum erat Abram quando peperit ei Agar Ismaelem.
