Genesis 16

1 Now Sarai Abram’s wife bore him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

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

2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing: I pray you, go in to my maid; it may be that I may obtain children 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 And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelled ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband 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 went in to Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

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

5 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on you: I have given my maid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and you.

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 But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand; do to her as it pleases you. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

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

7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

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

8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, from where came you? and where will you go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

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

9 And the angel of the LORD said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.

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

10 And the angel of the LORD said to her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

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

11 And the angel of the LORD said to her, Behold, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael; because the LORD has heard your 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 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of 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 And she called the name of the LORD that spoke to her, You God see me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that 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 Why the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is 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 called his son’s name, which Hagar bore, Ishmael.

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

16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

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