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.
Saraj, kona hans Abram, fekk ikkje born. Men ho hadde ei terna som var frå Egyptarland og heitte 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.
Og Saraj sagde med Abram: «Du ser, Herren hev meinka meg born. Kjære deg, gakk inn til terna mi! Kann henda ho fær ein son åt meg.» Og Abram lydde rådi hennar Saraj.
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.
So tok Saraj, kona hans Abram, og let Abram, mannen sin, få Hagar frå Egyptarland, som var terna hennar, til kona. Då var det ti år sidan Abram hadde slege seg ned i Kana’ans-land.
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.
Og han gjekk inn til Hagar, og ho vart med barn. Men då ho såg at ho var med barn, vanvyrde ho matmor si.
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!”
Då sagde Saraj med Abram: «Du skal svara for den urett eg lid. Eg bad deg sjølv taka terna mi i fang, men no ho ser at ho er med barn, vanvyrder ho meg. Herren skal døma millom meg og deg!»
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.
Då sagde Abram med Saraj: «Terna di råder du sjølv yver. Gjer med henne som du synest!» Sidan var Saraj hard med henne, og ho rømde sin veg.
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.
Men Herrens engel fann henne innmed ei vatskjelda i øydemarki, den kjelda som er frammed vegen til Sur.
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.”
Og han sagde: «Du Hagar, terna hennar Saraj, kvar kjem du frå, og kvar etlar du deg?» Og ho sagde: «Eg laut røma frå Saraj, matmor mi.»
9 The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
Då sagde Herrens engel til henne: «Gakk heim att til matmor di, og bøyg deg under handi hennar!»
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!”
Og Herrens engel sagde til henne: «Eg vil gjeva deg ei ætt som er endelaus: reint uteljande skal ho vera!»
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.
Og Herrens engel sagde til henne: «Sjå, du er med barn, og du skal eiga ein son. Honom skal du kalla Ismael, av di Herren høyrde deg i naudi di.
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].”
Det vert eit villasen til kar. Hans hand skal vera lyft mot alle, og alle hender mot honom. Og midt for augo på alle brørne sine skal han slå seg ned.»
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’.
Og ho nemnde Herren, som hadde tala med henne, og sagde: «Du er Gud, den som ser alt!» Og ho sagde: «Kann det vera råd at eg her hev set skimten av den som all tid ser meg!»
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.
Difor kallar dei den kjelda «Kjelda åt den som liver, og ser meg»; ho er millom Kades og Bered.
15 So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
Og Hagar fekk ein son, og Abram kalla son sin, som Hagar hadde fenge, Ismael.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
Abram var seks og åtteti år gamall, då han fekk Ismael med Hagar.
