Kejadian 16

1 Adapun Sarai, isteri Abram itu, tidak beranak. Ia mempunyai seorang hamba perempuan, orang Mesir, Hagar namanya.

Now Sarai [Mockery], Avram [Exalted father]’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], whose name was Hagar [Flight].

2 Berkatalah Sarai kepada Abram: "Engkau tahu, TUHAN tidak memberi aku melahirkan anak. Karena itu baiklah hampiri hambaku itu; mungkin oleh dialah aku dapat memperoleh seorang anak." Dan Abram mendengarkan perkataan Sarai.

Sarai [Mockery] said to Avram [Exalted father], “See now, Adonai has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Avram [Exalted father] sh'ma ·hear obey· the voice of Sarai [Mockery].

3 Jadi Sarai, isteri Abram itu, mengambil Hagar, hambanya, orang Mesir itu, --yakni ketika Abram telah sepuluh tahun tinggal di tanah Kanaan--, lalu memberikannya kepada Abram, suaminya, untuk menjadi isterinya.

Sarai [Mockery], Avram [Exalted father]’s wife, took Hagar [Flight] the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], her servant, after Avram [Exalted father] had lived ten years in the land of Canaan [Humbled], and gave her to Avram [Exalted father] her husband to be his wife.

4 Abram menghampiri Hagar, lalu mengandunglah perempuan itu. Ketika Hagar tahu, bahwa ia mengandung, maka ia memandang rendah akan nyonyanya itu.

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

5 Lalu berkatalah Sarai kepada Abram: "Penghinaan yang kuderita ini adalah tanggung jawabmu; akulah yang memberikan hambaku ke pangkuanmu, tetapi baru saja ia tahu, bahwa ia mengandung, ia memandang rendah akan aku; TUHAN kiranya yang menjadi Hakim antara aku dan engkau."

Sarai [Mockery] said to Avram [Exalted father], “You have brought this wrong on me! I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Adonai judge between me and you.”

6 Kata Abram kepada Sarai: "Hambamu itu di bawah kekuasaanmu; perbuatlah kepadanya apa yang kaupandang baik." Lalu Sarai menindas Hagar, sehingga ia lari meninggalkannya.

But Avram [Exalted father] said to Sarai [Mockery], “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai [Mockery] dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

7 Lalu Malaikat TUHAN menjumpainya dekat suatu mata air di padang gurun, yakni dekat mata air di jalan ke Syur.

Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

8 Katanya: "Hagar, hamba Sarai, dari manakah datangmu dan ke manakah pergimu?" Jawabnya: "Aku lari meninggalkan Sarai, nyonyaku."

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

9 Lalu kata Malaikat TUHAN itu kepadanya: "Kembalilah kepada nyonyamu, biarkanlah engkau ditindas di bawah kekuasaannya."

Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to her, “Teshuvah ·Completely return· to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.”

10 Lagi kata Malaikat TUHAN itu kepadanya: "Aku akan membuat sangat banyak keturunanmu, sehingga tidak dapat dihitung karena banyaknya."

Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.”

11 Selanjutnya kata Malaikat TUHAN itu kepadanya: "Engkau mengandung dan akan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki dan akan menamainya Ismael, sebab TUHAN telah mendengar tentang penindasan atasmu itu.

Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael [Pays attention God], because Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· your affliction.

12 Seorang laki-laki yang lakunya seperti keledai liar, demikianlah nanti anak itu; tangannya akan melawan tiap-tiap orang dan tangan tiap-tiap orang akan melawan dia, dan di tempat kediamannya ia akan menentang semua saudaranya."

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 opposite all of his brothers.”

13 Kemudian Hagar menamakan TUHAN yang telah berfirman kepadanya itu dengan sebutan: "Engkaulah El-Roi." Sebab katanya: "Bukankah di sini kulihat Dia yang telah melihat aku?"

She called the name of Adonai who spoke to her, “You are El Ro'i Ra'ah [God who sees me / God who provides],” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”

14 Sebab itu sumur tadi disebutkan orang: sumur Lahai-Roi; letaknya antara Kadesh dan Bered.

Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi [Well of the one who lives and sees]. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Lalu Hagar melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Abram dan Abram menamai anak yang dilahirkan Hagar itu Ismael.

Hagar [Flight] bore a son for Avram [Exalted father]. Avram [Exalted father] called the name of his son, whom Hagar [Flight] bore, Ishmael [Pays attention God].

16 Abram berumur delapan puluh enam tahun, ketika Hagar melahirkan Ismael baginya.

Avram [Exalted father] was eighty-six years old when Hagar [Flight] bore Ishmael [Pays attention God] to Avram [Exalted father].
