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.
Hingga saat itu, Sarai belum juga memberikan keturunan bagi Abram. Namun, karena dia memiliki seorang budak perempuan dari Mesir bernama 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.
berkatalah Sarai kepada Abram, “Sampai sekarang TUHAN belum mengizinkan aku mengandung. Kalau kamu setuju, aku akan memberikan budakku Hagar kepadamu. Barangkali dia bisa hamil dan memberikan keturunan yang diperhitungkan sebagai anak yang aku lahirkan.” Abram menyetujui usul 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.
Kemudian Sarai menyerahkan Hagar kepada Abram untuk dijadikan istri berstatus budak. Hal ini terjadi sesudah mereka menetap di Kanaan selama sepuluh tahun.
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.
Abram bersetubuh dengan Hagar, dan Hagar pun hamil. Ketika Hagar tahu bahwa dirinya hamil, dia menganggap rendah Sarai, majikannya.
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!”
Lalu berkatalah Sarai kepada Abram, “Kamu yang salah dalam hal ini! Aku sudah memberikan budakku kepadamu. Tetapi sejak dia tahu bahwa dia hamil, dia malah meremehkan dan menghinaku! Semua ini salahmu! Biarlah TUHAN yang menghukummu!”
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.
Jawab Abram kepada Sarai, “Baiklah! Hagar adalah budakmu, dan kamu berkuasa penuh atas dia. Jadi lakukanlah apa pun yang kamu mau terhadapnya!” Maka Sarai mulai memperlakukan Hagar dengan kejam, sehingga Hagar melarikan diri dari Sarai.
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.
Tetapi TUHAN mengutus malaikat untuk menemui Hagar di padang belantara, dekat mata air yang terletak di pinggir jalan menuju ke Syur.
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.”
TUHAN berbicara melalui malaikat itu kepadanya, “Hagar, budak Sarai, kamu dari mana dan hendak pergi ke mana?” Jawab Hagar, “Saya melarikan diri dari majikan saya, Sarai.”
9 The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
Lalu malaikat itu menyampaikan pesan TUHAN, “Kembalilah kepada majikanmu dan lakukanlah apa yang dia perintahkan kepadamu. Aku akan memberikan kepadamu keturunan yang sangat banyak, sehingga tidak seorang pun dapat menghitung mereka!
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!”
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.
Dengarlah! Kamu sedang mengandung dan akan melahirkan anak laki-laki. Namailah dia Ismael, karena TUHAN sudah mendengar ratapanmu.
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].”
Namun, anakmu itu akan suka menentang orang lain bagaikan keledai liar. Dia akan menentang semua orang dan mereka pun akan menolaknya. Dia akan hidup jauh dari sanak saudaranya.”
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’.
Karena malaikat itu menyampaikan pesan TUHAN kepadanya, maka Hagar bertanya dalam hati, “Benarkah aku sudah melihat Allah yang memperhatikanku?” Sejak saat itu, Hagar sering menyebut TUHAN sebagai ‘Dia yang memperhatikan aku’.
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.
Itulah sebabnya mata air tersebut dinamai Beer Lahai Roi. Sampai kitab ini ditulis, mata air itu masih ada. Letaknya di antara Kades dan Bered.
15 So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
Lalu tibalah saatnya Hagar melahirkan seorang bayi laki-laki. Abram menamainya Ismael. Pada waktu itu, Abram berusia delapan puluh enam tahun.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
