< 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.
E Sarai, mulher de Abrão não lhe dava filho: e ela tinha uma serva egípcia, que se chamava Agar.
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.
Disse, pois, Sarai a Abrão: Já vês que o SENHOR me fez estéril: rogo-te que entres a minha serva; talvez terei filhos dela. E atendeu Abrão ao dito de 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.
E Sarai, mulher de Abrão, tomou a Agar sua serva egípcia, ao fim de dez anos que havia habitado Abrão na terra de Canaã, e deu-a a Abrão seu marido por mulher.
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.
E ele se deitou com Agar, a qual concebeu: e quando viu que havia concebido, olhava com desprezo à sua senhora.
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!”
Então Sarai disse a Abrão: Minha afronta seja sobre ti; eu pus minha serva em teus braços, e vendo-se grávida, me olha com desprezo; julgue o SENHOR entre mim e ti.
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.
E respondeu Abrão a Sarai: Eis aí tua serva em tua mão, faze com ela o que bem te parecer. E quando Sarai a afligiu, fugiu de sua presença.
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.
E o anjo do SENHOR a achou junto a uma fonte de água no deserto, junto à fonte que está no caminho de 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.”
E lhe disse: Agar, serva de Sarai, de onde vens tu, e para onde vais? E ela respondeu: Fujo de diante de Sarai, minha senhora.
9 The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
E disse-lhe o anjo do SENHOR: Volta à tua senhora, e põe-te submissa sob a mão dela.
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!”
Disse-lhe também o anjo do SENHOR: Multiplicarei tanto tua linhagem, que não será contada por causa da multidão.
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.
Disse-lhe ainda o anjo do SENHOR: Eis que concebeste, e darás à luz um filho, e chamarás seu nome Ismael, porque o SENHOR ouviu a tua aflição.
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].”
E ele será homem como um jumento selvagem; sua mão será contra todos, as mãos de todos serão contra ele, e habitará à margem de todos os seus irmãos.
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’.
Então chamou o nome do SENHOR que com ela falava: Tu és o Deus da vista; porque disse: Não vi também aqui ao que me vê?
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.
Pelo qual chamou ao poço, Poço do Vivente que me vê. Eis que está entre Cades e Berede.
15 So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
E Agar deu à luz um filho a Abrão, e Abrão chamou o nome do seu filho que Agar lhe deu à luz Ismael.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
E era Abrão de idade de oitenta e seis anos, quando deu à luz Agar a Ismael.
