Genesis 16
1 Sarai, Abram's wife, hadn't been able to have any children for him. However, she owned a female Egyptian slave named Hagar,
Abramova žena Saraja nije mu rađala djece. A imaše ona sluškinju Egipćanku - zvala se Hagara.
2 so Sarai said to Abram, “Please listen to me. The Lord hasn't let me have any children. So please go and sleep with my slave. Maybe I can have a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai had suggested.
I reče Saraja Abramu: “Vidiš, Jahve me učinio nerotkinjom. Hajde k mojoj sluškinji, možda ću imati djece.” Abram posluša riječ Sarajinu.
3 So Sarai, Abram's wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband as his wife. Abram had been living in the land of Canaan for ten years when this happened.
Tako, pošto je Abram proboravio deset godina u zemlji kanaanskoj, njegova žena Saraja uzme Hagaru, Egipćanku, sluškinju svoju, pa je dade svome mužu Abramu za ženu.
4 Abram slept with Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized she was pregnant, she treated her mistress with contempt.
Uđe on k Hagari te ona zače. A kad je vidjela da je začela, s prezirom je gledala na svoju gospodaricu.
5 Then Sarai complained to Abram, “What I'm suffering is all your doing! I gave you my servant to sleep with, and now that she knows she's pregnant, she treats me with contempt. May the Lord decide who's at fault—you or me!”
Tada reče Saraja Abramu: “Nepravda što se meni nanosi tvoja je krivnja! Prepustila sam svoju sluškinju tvome zagrljaju, ali otkako opazi da je zanijela, s prezirom na me gleda. Jahve sudio i meni i tebi!”
6 “Listen, she's your slave!” Abram replied. “You can do whatever you want to her.” Sarai treated Hagar so badly that she ran away.
Nato Abram odvrati Saraji: “Tvoja je sluškinja u tvojoj ruci: kako ti se čini da je dobro, tako prema njoj postupi!” Saraja postupi prema njoj tako loše da ona od nje pobježe.
7 The angel of the Lord met Hagar at a spring in the desert—the spring on the road to Shur.
Anđeo Jahvin nađe je kod izvora u pustinji - uz vrelo što je na putu prema Šuru -
8 He asked her, “Hagar, Sarai's slave—where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I'm running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.
pa je zapita: “Hagaro, sluškinjo Sarajina, odakle dolaziš i kamo ideš?” “Bježim, evo, od svoje gospodarice Saraje”, odgovori ona.
9 “Go back to your mistress and do what she tells you,” the angel of the Lord told her.
Nato joj anđeo Jahvin reče: “Vrati se svojoj gospodarici i pokori joj se!”
10 Then he continued, “I will give you many, many descendants—in fact they'll be so many they can't be counted.”
Još joj reče anđeo Jahvin: “Tvoje ću potomstvo silno umnožiti; od mnoštva se neće moći ni prebrojiti.”
11 The angel of the Lord went on to tell her: “Listen! You're pregnant, and you will have a son. You are to name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard how you've suffered.
Dalje joj je anđeo Jahvin rekao: “Gle, zanijela si i rodit ćeš sina. Nadjeni mu ime Jišmael, jer Jahve ču jad tvoj.
12 He'll be a wild donkey kind of man—he will fight with everyone, and everyone will fight with him. He will forever be fighting with his relatives.”
On će biti kao divlje magare: ruka će se njegova dizati na svakoga i svačija ruka na njega; i pred licem sve mu braće on će stan sebi podići.”
13 From then on Hagar called the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” because she said, “Here I saw the one who sees me.”
A Jahvu koji joj govoraše nazva: “Ti si El Roi - Svevid Bog”, jer - reče ona - “vidjeh Boga i nakon viđenja - još živim!”
14 That's why the well is called “the Well of the Living One who Sees Me.” It's still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
Stoga se taj zdenac zove Beer Lahaj Roi - Zdenac životvornog Svevida, a eno ga između Kadeša i Bereda.
15 Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram. Abram named his son Ishmael.
Rodi Hagara Abramu sina, a Abram sinu što mu ga rodi Hagara nadjene ime Jišmael.
16 Abram was 86 when Hagar had Ishmael.
Abramu je bilo osamdeset i šest godina kad mu je Hagara rodila Jišmaela.
