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 Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was 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.

And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing; go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

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.

And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his 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 unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

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 unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: 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.

But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt hardly with her, and she fled from her face.

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

And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

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

And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, whence camest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

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

And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

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

And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that 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 the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, 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.«

And he shall be [as] a wild-ass among men; his hand [shall be] against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of 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 spake unto her, Thou art a God that seeth: for she said, Have I even here looked after him that seeth me?

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

Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it 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 bare Abram a son: and Abram called the name of his son, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

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

And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
