1 Mojzes 16

1 Torej Sarája, Abramova žena, mu ni rodila otrok. Imela pa je pomočnico, Egipčanko, ki ji je bilo ime Hagára.

Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had not conceived children. But, having an Egyptian handmaid named Hagar,

2 Sarája je Abramu rekla: »Glej torej, Gospod me je zadržal pred rojevanjem. Prosim te, pojdi noter v mojo služkinjo, lahko se zgodi, da dosežem otroke prek nje.« Abram je prisluhnil Sarájinemu glasu.

she said to her husband: “Behold, the Lord has closed me, lest I give birth. Enter to my handmaid, so that perhaps I may receive sons of her at least.” And when he agreed to her supplication,

3 Sarája, Abramova žena, je vzela Hagáro, svojo egipčansko služabnico, potem ko je Abram deset let prebival v kánaanski deželi in jo dala svojemu soprogu Abramu, da postane njegova žena.

she took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, ten years after they began to live in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to her husband as a wife.

4 Šel je noter v Hagáro in ona je spočela. Ko pa je videla, da je spočela, je bila njena gospodarica prezirana v njenih očeh.

And he entered to her. But when she saw that she had conceived, she despised her mistress.

5 Sarája je rekla Abramu: »Moja žalitev bodi na tebi. Svojo služabnico sem dala v tvoje naročje, ko pa je videla, da je spočela, sem bila v njenih očeh prezirana. Gospod [naj] sodi med menoj in teboj.«

And Sarai said to Abram: “You have acted unfairly against me. I gave my handmaid into your bosom, who, when she saw that she had conceived, held me in contempt. May the Lord judge between me and you.”

6 Toda Abram je rekel Saráji: »Glej, tvoja služabnica je v tvoji roki. Stôri ji, kakor ti ugaja.« Ko pa je Sarája z njo trdo postopala, je ta pobegnila pred njenim obrazom.

Abram responded to her by saying, “Behold, your handmaid is in your hand to treat as it pleases you.” And so, when Sarai afflicted her, she took flight.

7 Gospodov angel jo je našel pri vodnem studencu v divjini, pri izviru, na poti v Šur.

And when the Angel of the Lord had found her, near the fountain of water in the wilderness, which is on the way to Shur in the desert,

8 Rekel je: »Hagára, Sarájina služabnica, od kod prihajaš? Kam hočeš oditi?« Rekla je: »Pobegnila sem izpred obličja svoje gospodarice Saráje.«

he said to her: “Hagar, handmaid of Sarai, where have you come from? And where will you go?” And she answered, “I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.”

9 Gospodov angel ji je rekel: »Vrni se k svoji gospodarici in se podrêdi pod njene roke.«

And the Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand.”

10 Gospodov angel ji je rekel: »Tvoje seme bom silno pomnožil, da le-to zaradi množice ne bo preštevno.«

And again he said, “I will multiply your offspring continuously, and they will not be numbered because of their multitude.”

11 Gospodov angel ji je rekel: »Glej, ti si z otrokom in rodila boš sina in imenovala ga boš Izmael, ker je Gospod uslišal tvojo stisko.

But thereafter he said: “Behold, you have conceived, and you will give birth to a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your affliction.

12 In on bo divji človek, njegova roka bo zoper vsakega človeka in roka vsakega človeka zoper njega in prebival bo v prisotnosti vseh svojih bratov.«

He will be a wild man. His hand will be against all, and all hands will be against him. And he will pitch his tents away from the region of all his brothers.”

13 Klicala je ime Gospoda, ki ji je govoril: »Ti, Bog, me vidiš, « kajti rekla je, »sem tudi tukaj gledala za tistim, ki me vidi?«

Then she called upon the name of the Lord who had spoken to her: “You are the God who has seen me.” For she said, “Certainly, here I have seen the back of the one who sees me.”

14 Zatorej se je izvir imenoval Beêr Laháj Roí; glej, ta je med Kadešem in Beredom.

Because of this, she called that well: ‘The well of the one who lives and who sees me.’ The same is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Hagára je Abramu rodila sina in Abram je svojega sina, ki ga je rodila Hagára, imenoval Izmael.

And Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram, who called his name Ishmael.

16 Ko je Hagára Abramu rodila Izmaela, je bil Abram star šestinosemdeset let.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael for him.
