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 brought forth no children; but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar,
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 hath restrained me from bearing: go in unto my handmaid, it may be I may have children of her at least. And when he agreed to her request,
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 Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, ten years after they first dwelt in the land of Chanaan, and gave her to her husband to 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 went in to her. But she, perceiving that she was with child, 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: Thou dost unjustly with me: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and she perceiving herself to be with child, despiseth me. The Lord judge between me and thee.
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.
And Abram made answer, and said to her: Behold thy handmaid is in thy own hand, use her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai afflicted her, she ran away.
7 Gospodov angel jo je našel pri vodnem studencu v divjini, pri izviru, na poti v Šur.
And the angel of the Lord having found her, by a fountain of water in the wilderness, which is in the way to Sur 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: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? 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 thy mistress, and humble thyself 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 thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for 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.
And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy 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 shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.
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?«
And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her: Thou the God who hast seen me. For she said: Verily here have I seen the hinder parts of him that seeth me.
14 Zatorej se je izvir imenoval Beêr Laháj Roí; glej, ta je med Kadešem in Beredom.
Therefore she called that well, The well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad.
15 Hagára je Abramu rodila sina in Abram je svojega sina, ki ga je rodila Hagára, imenoval Izmael.
And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael.
16 Ko je Hagára Abramu rodila Izmaela, je bil Abram star šestinosemdeset let.
Abram was four score and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael.
