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, had not borne any children for him, but she had a female servant, 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.

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 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.

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

So he had relations with Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on 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.«

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

The angel of Yahweh found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring that is on 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.«

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

The angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority.”

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

Then the angel of Yahweh said to her, “I will greatly multiply your descendants, so that they will be too numerous to count.”

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.

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

Therefore 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.

Hagar gave birth to Abram's son, and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

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

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
