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.

Sarai Abrams hustru födde honom intet; men hon hade ena Egyptiska tjensteqvinno, som het 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.

Och sade till Abram: Si, Herren hafver igenlyckt mig, att jag icke kan få barn: Käre, lägg dig när mina tjensteqvinno, att jag dock tilläfventyrs måtte uppbyggd varda af henne. Abram hörde Sarai röst.

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.

Och Sarai, Abrams hustru, tog sina Egyptiska tjensteqvinno Hagar, och gaf henne Abram sinom man till hustru, sedan de hade bott i tio år i Canaans lande.

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.

Och han lade sig när Hagar, och hon vardt hafvande. Då hon nu såg, att hon vardt hafvande, föraktade hon sina fru.

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 sade Sarai till Abram: Du gör orätt emot mig; jag hafver laggt mina tjensteqvinno när dig; nu, efter hon ser att hon är hafvande vorden, måste jag ringa aktad varda för henne: Herren dömme emellan mig och dig.

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.

Men Abram sade till Sarai: Si, din tjensteqvinna är under ditt våld, gör med henne, som dig täckes. Då nu Sarai ville späka henne, flydde hon ifrå henne.

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 Herrans Ängel fann henne vid en vattubrunn i öknene, nemliga vid den brunnen, som är på den vägen till 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.”

Och sade till henne: Hagar, Sarai tjensteqvinna, hvadan kommer du? Eller hvart vill du? Hon sade: Jag hafver flytt ifrå mine fru Sarai.

9 The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.

Och Herrans Ängel sade till henne: Vänd om till dina fru igen, och ödmjuka dig under hennes hand.

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!”

Och Herrans Ängel sade till henne: Jag skall så föröka dina säd, att för stor myckenhet skall hon icke kunna räknas.

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.

Yttermera sade Herrans Ängel till henne: Si, du äst hafvande vorden, och skall föda en son; hans namn skall du kalla Ismael, derföre att Herren hafver sett dina vedermödo.

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].”

Han skall vara en grym man; hans hand emot hvar man, och hvars mans hand emot honom; och han skall bo emot alla sina bröder.

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’.

Och hon kallade Herrans namn, som talade med henne: Du Gud ser mig; ty hon sade: Visserliga hafver jag här sett ryggen på honom, som mig ser.

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.

Derföre kallade hon brunnen en brunn dens lefvandes, som mig ser, hvilken är emellan Kades och Bared.

15 So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.

Och Hagar födde Abram en son, och Abram kallade den sonen, som Hagar födde honom, Ismael.

16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.

Och Abram var sex och åttatio år gammal, då Hagar födde honom Ismael.
