Genesis 16

1 Si Sarai nga na asawa ni Abram ay hindi nagkaanak sa kaniya; at siya'y may isang alilang babae na taga Egipto, na nagngangalang Agar.

Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar.

2 At sinabi ni Sarai kay Abram, Narito, ngayon, ako'y hinadlangan ng Panginoon na ako'y magkaanak; ipinamamanhik ko sa iyong sumiping ka sa aking alilang babae; marahil ay magkakaanak ako sa pamamagitan niya. At dininig ni Abram ang sabi ni Sarai.

[So one day] Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So (sleep with/have sex with) [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said.

3 At kinuha ni Sarai na asawa ni Abram, si Agar na taga Egipto, na kaniyang alila, pagkaraan ng sangpung taon na makatahan si Abram sa lupain ng Canaan, at ibinigay kay Abram na kaniyang asawa upang maging asawa niya.

So Abram (slept with/had sex with) Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan [land]. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife.

4 At siya'y sumiping kay Agar, at naglihi: at nang makita niyang siya'y naglihi, ay niwalang halaga niya ang kaniyang panginoong babae sa kaniyang paningin.

He (slept with/had sex with) [EUP] Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress Sarai.

5 At sinabi ni Sarai kay Abram, Ang aking pagkaapi ay sumaiyo: idinulot ko ang aking alila sa iyong sinapupunan; at nang makita niyang siya'y naglihi, ay niwalan akong kabuluhan sa kaniyang paningin: ang Panginoon ang humatol sa akin at sa iyo.

Then Sarai said to Abram, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to me!”

6 Datapuwa't sinabi ni Abram kay Sarai, Narito, ang iyong alila ay nasa iyong kamay; gawin mo sa kaniya ang iyong minamagaling sa iyong paningin. At dinuwahagi siya ni Sarai, at si Agar ay tumakas mula sa kaniyang harap.

So Abram said to Sarai, “[You listen to me]! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai.

7 At nasumpungan siya ng anghel ng Panginoon sa tabi ng isang bukal ng tubig sa ilang, sa bukal na nasa daang patungo sa Shur.

An angel of Yahweh found her as she was near a spring of water in the desert. It was the spring that was alongside the road to Shur.

8 At sinabi, Agar, alila ni Sarai, saan ka nanggaling? at saan ka paroroon? at kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y tumatakas mula sa harap ni Sarai na aking panginoon.

He said to her, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I have run away from Sarai, my mistress.”

9 At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel ng Panginoon, Magbalik ka sa iyong panginoon, at pahinuhod ka sa kaniyang mga kamay.

The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.

10 At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel ng Panginoon, Pararamihin kong mainam ang iyong binhi, na hindi mabibilang dahil sa karamihan.

The angel also said to her, “I will enable you to bear so many descendants that no one will be able to count them!”

11 At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel ng Panginoon, Narito't ikaw ay nagdadalang-tao at ikaw ay manganganak ng isang lalake; at ang itatawag mo sa kaniyang ngalan ay Ismael, sapagka't diningig ng Panginoon ang iyong kadalamhatian.

The angel also said to her, “[Listen to this!] You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, [which means ‘God hears]’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.

12 At siya'y magiging parang asnong bundok sa gitna ng mga tao; ang kaniyang kamay ay magiging laban sa lahat, at ang kamay ng lahat ay laban sa kaniya; at siya'y tatahan sa harap ng lahat niyang mga kapatid.

But your son will be as uncontrollable as a wild donkey [MET]. He will oppose everyone, and everyone will oppose him [MTY]. He will live far away from his relatives [SYN].”

13 At kaniyang tinawagan ang ngalan ng Panginoon na nagsalita sa kaniya, Ikaw ay Dios na nakakakita: sapagka't sinabi niya, Namasdan ko rin ba rito ang likuran niyaong nakakakita sa akin?

Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “(It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?)” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’.

14 Kaya't nginalanan ang balong yaon Balon ng Nabubuhay na nakakakita sa akin; narito't ito'y nasa pagitan ng Cades at Bered.

That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, [which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’!] It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.

15 At nanganak si Agar ng isang lalake kay Abram at ang itinawag ni Abram, na pangalan sa kaniyang anak na ipinanganak ni Agar, ay Ismael.

So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.

16 At si Abram ay may walong pu't anim na taon nang ipanganak si Ismael ni Agar kay Abram.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
