Genesis 16
1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian handmaid, whose name was Hagar.
Abrams Hustru Saraj fødte ham intet Barn. Men Saraj havde en Ægyptisk Trælkvinde ved Navn Hagar;
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in, I pray thee, unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
og Saraj sagde til Abram: »HERREN har jo nægtet mig Børn; gaa derfor ind til min Trælkvinde, maaske kan jeg faa en Søn ved hende!« Og Abram adlød Saraj.
3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
Saa tog Abrams Hustru Saraj sin Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, efter at Abram havde boet ti Aar i Kana'ans Land, og gav sin Mand Abram hende til Hustru;
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became of little esteem in her eyes.
og han gik ind til Hagar, og hun blev frugtsommelig. Men da hun saa, at hun var frugtsommelig, lod hun haant om sin Herskerinde.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, I suffer wrong through thee; I have placed my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became of little esteem in her eyes; may the Lord judge between me and thee.
Da sagde Saraj til Abram: »Min Krænkelse komme over dig! Jeg lagde selv min Trælkvinde i din Favn, og nu hun ser, at hun skal føde, lader hun haant om mig; HERREN være Dommer mellem mig og dig!«
6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
Abram svarede Saraj: »Din Trælkvinde er i din Haand, gør med hende, hvad du finder for godt!« Da plagede Saraj hende, saa hun flygtede for hende.
7 And an angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
Men HERRENS Engel fandt hende ved Vandkilden i Ørkenen, ved Kilden paa Vejen til Sjur;
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, From the face of my mistress Sarai I am fleeing.
og han sagde: »Hvorfra kommer du, Hagar, Sarajs Trælkvinde, og hvor gaar du hen?« Hun svarede: »Jeg flygter for min Herskerinde Saraj!«
9 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Da sagde HERRENS Engel til hende: »Vend tilbage til din Herskerinde og find dig i hendes Mishandling!«
10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Og HERRENS Engel sagde til hende: »Jeg vil gøre dit Afkom saa talrigt, at det ikke kan tælles.«
11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and wilt bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
Og HERRENS Engel sagde til hende: »Se, du er frugtsommelig, og du skal føde en Søn, som du skal kalde Ismael, thi HERREN har hørt, hvad du har lidt;
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and in the presence of all his brethren shall he dwell.
og han skal blive et Menneske-Vildæsel, hvis Haand er mod alle, og alles Haand mod ham, og han skal ligge i Strid med alle sine Frænder!«
13 And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her, Thou art an all-seeing God; for she said, Have I not also seen here a vision after he appeared to me?
Saa gav hun HERREN, der havde talet til hende, Navnet: Du er en Gud, som ser; thi hun sagde: »Har jeg virkelig her set et Glimt af ham, som ser mig?«
14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlachai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bared.
Derfor kaldte man Brønden Be'er-lahaj-ro'i; den ligger mellem Kadesj og Bered.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Og Hagar fødte Abram en Søn, og Abram kaldte Sønnen, Hagar fødte ham, Ismael.
16 And Abram was eighty and six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Abram var seks og firsindstyve Aar gammel, da Hagar fødte ham Ismael.
