< Genesis 16 >

1 Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar.
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.
2 [So one day] Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So (sleep with/have sex with) [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said.
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.
3 So Abram (slept with/had sex with) Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan [land]. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife.
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.
4 He (slept with/had sex with) [EUP] Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress Sarai.
And he went into Hagar and she conceived and she saw that she had conceived and she became insignificant mistress her in view her.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to me!”
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.
6 So Abram said to Sarai, “[You listen to me]! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai.
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.
7 An angel of Yahweh found her as she was near a spring of water in the desert. It was the spring that was alongside the road to Shur.
And he found her [the] angel of Yahweh at [the] spring of water in the wilderness at the spring on [the] way of Shur.
8 He said to her, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I have run away from Sarai, my mistress.”
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.
9 The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh return to mistress your and humble yourself under hands her.
10 The angel also said to her, “I will enable you to bear so many descendants that no one will be able to count them!”
And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh certainly I will increase offspring your and not it will be counted from multitude.
11 The angel also said to her, “[Listen to this!] You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, [which means ‘God hears]’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.
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.
12 But your son will be as uncontrollable as a wild donkey [MET]. He will oppose everyone, and everyone will oppose him [MTY]. He will live far away from his relatives [SYN].”
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.
13 Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “(It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?)” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’.
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.
14 That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, [which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’!] It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
There-fore someone called the well Beer Lahai Roi there! [it is] between Kadesh and between Bered.
15 So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
And she bore Hagar to Abram a son and he called Abram [the] name of son his whom she had borne Hagar Ishmael.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
And Abram [was] a son of eighty year[s] and six years when bore Hagar Ishmael to Abram.
