Genesis 16

1 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

Abrams Hustru Saraj fødte ham intet Barn. Men Saraj havde en Ægyptisk Trælkvinde ved Navn Hagar;

2 Sarai said to Abram, “See now, Yahweh has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

og Saraj sagde til Abram: "HERREN har jo nægtet mig Børn; gå derfor ind til min Trælkvinde, måske kan jeg få en Søn ved hende!" Og Abram adlød Saraj.

3 Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.

Så tog Abrams Hustru Saraj sin Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, efter at Abram havde boet ti År i Kana'ans Land, og gav sin Mand Abram hende til Hustru;

4 He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

og han gik ind til Hagar, og hun blev frugtsommelig. Men da hun så, at hun var frugtsommelig, lod hun hånt om sin Herskerinde.

5 Sarai said to Abram, “This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, she despised me. May Yahweh judge between me and you.”

Da sagde Saraj til Abram: "Min Krænkelse komme over dig! Jeg lagde selv min Trælkvinde i din Favn, og nu hun ser, at hun skal føde, lader hun hånt om mig; HERREN være Dommer mellem mig og dig!"

6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

Abram svarede Saraj: "Din Trældkvinde er i din Hånd, gør med hende, hvad du finder for godt!" Da plagede Saraj hende, så hun flygtede for hende.

7 Yahweh’s angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

Men HERRENs Engel fandt hende ved Vandkilden i Ørkenen, ved Kilden på Vejen til Sjur;

8 He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where did you come from? Where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.”

og han sagde: "Hvorfra kommer du, Hagar, Sarajs Trælkvinde, og hvor går du hen?" Hun svarede: "Jeg flygter for min Herskerinde Saraj!"

9 Yahweh’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.”

Da sagde HERRENs Engel til hende: "Vend tilbage til din Herskerinde og find dig i hendes Mishandling!"

10 Yahweh’s angel said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.”

Og HERRENs Engel sagde til hende: "Jeg vil gøre dit Afkom så talrigt, at det ikke kan tælles."

11 Yahweh’s angel said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because Yahweh has heard your affliction.

Og HERRENs Engel sagde til hende: "Se, du er frugtsommelig, og du skal føde en Søn, som du skal kalde Ismael, thi HERREN har hørt, hvad du har lidt;

12 He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposed to all of his brothers.”

og han skal blive et Menneske Vildæsel, hvis Hånd er mod alle, og alles Hånd mod ham, og han skal ligge i Strid med alle sine Frænder!"

13 She called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”

Så gav hun HERREN, der havde talet til hende, Navnet: Du er en Gud, som ser; thi hun sagde: "Har jeg virkelig her set et Glimt af ham, som ser mig?"

14 Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

Derfor kaldte man Brønden Be'er-lahaj-ro'i; den ligger mellem Kadesj og Bered.

15 Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

Og Hagar fødte Abram en Søn, og Abram kaldte Sønnen, Hagar fødte ham, Ismael.

16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

Abram var seks og firsindstyve År gammel, da Hagar fødte ham Ismael.
