Genesis 16
1 Igitur Sarai, uxor Abram, non genuerat sibi liberos: sed habens ancillam Aegyptiam nomine Agar,
Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 dixit marito suo: Ecce, conclusit me Dominus, ne parerem: ingredere ad ancillam meam, si forte saltem ex illa suscipiam filios. Cumque ille acquiesceret deprecanti,
Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD 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.
3 tulit Agar Aegyptiam ancillam suam post annos decem quam habitare coeperant in terra Chanaan: et dedit eam viro suo uxorem.
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.
4 Qui ingressus est ad eam. At illa concepisse se videns, despexit dominam suam.
He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5 Dixitque Sarai ad Abram: Inique agis contra me: ego dedi ancillam meam in sinum tuum, quae videns quod conceperit, despectui me habet. iudicet Dominus inter me, et te.
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 The LORD judge between me and you.”
6 Cui respondens Abram: Ecce, ait, ancilla tua in manu tua est, utere ea ut libet. Affligente igitur eam Sarai, fugam iniit.
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.
7 Cumque invenisset eam angelus Domini iuxta fontem aquae in solitudine, quae est in via Sur in deserto,
The LORD’s angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
8 dixit ad illam: Agar ancilla Sarai, unde venis? et quo vadis? quae respondit: A facie Sarai dominae meae ego fugio.
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.”
9 Dixitque ei angelus Domini: Revertere ad dominam tuam, et humiliare sub manu illius.
The LORD’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.”
10 Et rursum: Multiplicans, inquit, multiplicabo semen tuum, et non numerabitur prae multitudine.
The LORD’s angel said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.”
11 Ac deinceps: Ecce, ait, concepisti, et paries filium: vocabisque nomen eius Ismael, eo quod audierit Dominus afflictionem tuam.
The LORD’s angel said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your affliction.
12 Hic erit ferus homo: manus eius contra omnes, et manus omnium contra eum: et e regione universorum fratrum suorum figet tabernacula.
He will be like a wild donkey amongst men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposed to all of his brothers.”
13 Vocavit autem nomen Domini qui loquebatur ad eam: Tu Deus qui vidisti me. Dixit enim: Profecto hic vidi posteriora videntis me.
She called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”
14 Propterea appellavit puteum illum, Puteum viventis et videntis me. Ipse est inter Cades et Barad.
Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Peperitque Agar Abrae filium: qui vocavit nomen eius Ismael.
Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 Octoginta et sex annorum erat Abram quando peperit ei Agar Ismaelem.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
