Genesis 16

1 And Sarai [the] wife of Abram not she had borne children to him and [belonged] to her a maidservant Egyptian and name her [was] Hagar.

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had not borne any children for him, but she had a female servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

2 And she said Sarai to Abram here! please he has restrained me Yahweh from bearing children go please into maidservant my perhaps I will be built up (from her *LBH(a)*) and he listened Abram to [the] voice of Sarai.

So Sarai said to Abram, “See, Yahweh has kept me from having children. Go sleep with my servant. It may be that I will have children by her.” Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

3 And she took Sarai [the] wife of Abram Hagar the Egyptian maidservant her from [the] end of ten years of [the] dwelling of Abram in [the] land of Canaan and she gave her to Abram husband her of him to a wife.

It was after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan that Sarai, Abram's wife, gave Hagar, her Egyptian servant, to her husband as a wife.

4 And he went into Hagar and she conceived and she saw that she had conceived and she became insignificant mistress her in view her.

So he had relations with Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.

5 And she said Sarai to Abram injustice my [is] on you I I put maidservant my in bosom your and she has seen that she had conceived and I have become insignificant in view her may he judge Yahweh between me and between you.

Then Sarai said to Abram, “This wrong on me is because of you. I gave my servant woman into your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Let Yahweh judge between me and you.”

6 And he said Abram to Sarai there! maidservant your [is] in hand your do to her the good in view your and she afflicted her Sarai and she fled from before her.

But Abram said to Sarai, “See here, your servant woman is in your power, do to her what you think best.” So Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.

7 And he found her [the] angel of Yahweh at [the] spring of water in the wilderness at the spring on [the] way of Shur.

The angel of Yahweh found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring that is on the way to Shur.

8 And he said O Hagar [the] maidservant of Sarai where? from this have you come and where? are you going and she said from before Sarai mistress my I [am] fleeing.

He said, “Hagar, Sarai's servant, where did you come from and where are you going?” Then she said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai.”

9 And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh return to mistress your and humble yourself under hands her.

The angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority.”

10 And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh certainly I will increase offspring your and not it will be counted from multitude.

Then the angel of Yahweh said to her, “I will greatly multiply your descendants, so that they will be too numerous to count.”

11 And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh here you [are] pregnant and you will bear a son and you will call name his Ishmael for he has listened Yahweh to affliction your.

The angel of Yahweh also said to her, “Behold, you are pregnant and will bear a son, and you will call his name Ishmael, because Yahweh has heard your affliction.

12 And he he will be a wild donkey of a man hand his [will be] on everyone and [the] hand of everyone [will be] on him and on [the] face of all brothers his he will dwell.

He will be a wild donkey of a man. He will be hostile against every man, and every man will be hostile to him, and he will live apart from all his brothers.”

13 And she called [the] name of Yahweh who spoke to her you [are] a God of seeing for she said ¿ also here have I seen [the] back of [the] [one who] sees me.

Then she gave this name to Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Do I really continue to see, even after he has seen me?”

14 There-fore someone called the well Beer Lahai Roi there! [it is] between Kadesh and between Bered.

Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 And she bore Hagar to Abram a son and he called Abram [the] name of son his whom she had borne Hagar Ishmael.

Hagar gave birth to Abram's son, and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

16 And Abram [was] a son of eighty year[s] and six years when bore Hagar Ishmael to Abram.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
