Genesis 16
1 igitur Sarai uxor Abram non genuerat liberos sed habens ancillam aegyptiam nomine Agar
Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had not borne any children for him, but she had a female 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 adquiesceret deprecanti
So Sarai said to Abram, “See, Yahweh has kept me from having children. Go sleep with my servant. It may be that I will have 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
It was after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan that Sarai, Abram's wife, gave Hagar, her Egyptian servant, to her husband as a wife.
4 qui ingressus est ad eam at illa concepisse se videns despexit dominam suam
So he had relations with Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.
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
Then Sarai said to Abram, “This wrong on me is because of you. I gave my servant woman into your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Let Yahweh judge between me and you.”
6 cui respondens Abram ecce ait ancilla tua in manu tua est utere ea ut libet adfligente igitur eam Sarai fugam iniit
But Abram said to Sarai, “See here, your servant woman is in your power, do to her what you think best.” So Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.
7 cumque invenisset illam angelus Domini iuxta fontem aquae in solitudine qui est in via Sur
The angel of Yahweh found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring that is on the way to Shur.
8 dixit ad eam 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 and where are you going?” Then she said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai.”
9 dixitque ei angelus Domini revertere ad dominam tuam et humiliare sub manibus ipsius
The angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority.”
10 et rursum multiplicans inquit multiplicabo semen tuum et non numerabitur prae multitudine
Then the angel of Yahweh said to her, “I will greatly multiply your descendants, so that they will be too numerous to count.”
11 ac deinceps ecce ait concepisti et paries filium vocabisque nomen eius Ismahel eo quod audierit Dominus adflictionem tuam
The angel of Yahweh also said to her, “Behold, you are pregnant and will bear a son, and you will call his name Ishmael, because Yahweh 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 a wild donkey of a man. He will be hostile against every man, and every man will be hostile to him, and he will live apart from all his brothers.”
13 vocavit autem nomen Domini qui loquebatur ad eam Tu Deus qui vidisti me dixit enim profecto hic vidi posteriora videntis me
Then she gave this name to Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Do I really continue to see, even after he has seen me?”
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 Abrae filium qui vocavit nomen eius Ismahel
Hagar gave birth to Abram's son, and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 octoginta et sex annorum erat quando peperit ei Agar Ismahelem
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
