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.

Ngayon si Sarai, asawa ni Abram, ay hindi nagkaanak sa kaniya, pero mayroon siyang babaeng lingkod, taga-Ehipto, na ang pangalan ay 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.

Kaya sinabi ni Sarai kay Abram, “Tingnan mo, pinanatili ako ni Yahweh na walang anak. Sipingan mo ang aking lingkod. Baka sakaling magkaroon ako ng anak sa pamamagitan niya.” Nakinig si Abram sa sinabi ni 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.

Iyon ay matapos na si Abram ay nanirahan ng sampung taon sa lupain ng Canaan nang ibinigay ni Sarai, asawa ni Abram, si Agar, na kaniyang lingkod na taga-Ehipto, sa kaniyang asawa bilang asawa.

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.

Kaya nagkaroon siya ng kaugnayan kay Agar, at nabuntis siya. At nang makita niyang nabuntis siya, tiningnan niya ng may pag-aalipusta ang kaniyang among babae.

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!”

Pagkatapos sinabi ni Sarai kay Abram, “Ang kamaliang ito sa akin ay dahil sa iyo. Ibinigay ko ang aking babaeng lingkod sa iyong mga bisig, at nang makita niyang siya ay nabuntis, hinamak niya ako sa kaniyang paningin. Hayaan mong si Yahweh ang humatol sa pagitan natin.

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.

Pero sinabi ni Abram kay Sarai, “Tingnan mo, nasa iyong kapangyarihan ang iyong babaeng lingkod, gawin mo sa kaniya ang iniisip mong pinakamabuti.” Kaya pinagmalupitan siya ni Sarai, at siya ay tumakas mula sa kaniya.

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.

Ang anghel ni Yahweh ay nakita siya sa isang bukal ng tubig sa ilang, ang bukal na matatagpuan sa daan patungong 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.”

Sinabi niya, “Agar, alipin ni Sarai, saan ka nanggaling at saan ka pupunta?” Sinabi niya, “Tumakas ako mula sa aking among babae na si Sarai”.

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

Sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel ni Yahweh, “Bumalik ka sa iyong among babae, at sumailalim ka sa kaniyang kapangyarihan”.

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!”

Pagkatapos sinabi ng anghel ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Labis kong pararamihin ang iyong mga kaapu-apuhan para maging napakarami nila para bilangin.

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.

Sinabi rin sa kaniya ng anghel ni Yahweh, “Tingnan mo, ikaw ay buntis, at manganganak ka ng isang anak na lalaki, at pangangalanan mo siyang Ismael, dahil narinig ni Yahweh ang iyong paghihirap”.

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].”

Siya ay magiging isang lalaking mistulang mabangis na asno. Magiging kalaban siya ng bawat tao at bawat tao ay magiging kalaban niya at mamumuhay siyang hiwalay sa kaniyang mga kapatid.

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’.

Pagkatapos binigay niya ang pangalang ito kay Yahweh na nangusap sa kaniya, “Ikaw ang Diyos na nakakakita sa akin,” dahil sinabi niya, “Talaga bang patuloy akong makakakita, kahit na pagkatapos niya akong nakita?”

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.

Dahil dito tinawag na Beerlahairoi ang balon; masdan, naroon ito sa pagitan ng Kades at Bered.

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

Nanganak si Agar ng anak na lalaki ni Abram, at pinangalanan ni Abram ang kaniyang anak, na isinilang ni Agar, na Ismael.

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

Si Abram ay walumpu't-anim na taong gulang nang isilang ni Agar si Ismael para kay Abram.
