Genesis 16

1 Ngayon si Sarai, asawa ni Abram, ay hindi nagkaanak sa kaniya, pero mayroon siyang babaeng lingkod, taga-Ehipto, na ang pangalan ay Agar.

And Sara the wife of Abram bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian maid, whose name was Agar.

2 Kaya sinabi ni Sarai kay Abram, “Tingnan mo, pinanatili ako ni Yahweh na walang anak. Sipingan mo ang aking lingkod. Baka sakaling magkaroon ako ng anak sa pamamagitan niya.” Nakinig si Abram sa sinabi ni Sarai.

And Sara said to Abram, Behold, the Lord has restrained me from bearing, go therefore in to my maid, that I may get children for myself through her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sara.

3 Iyon ay matapos na si Abram ay nanirahan ng sampung taon sa lupain ng Canaan nang ibinigay ni Sarai, asawa ni Abram, si Agar, na kaniyang lingkod na taga-Ehipto, sa kaniyang asawa bilang asawa.

So Sara the wife of Abram having taken Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Chanaan, gave her to Abram her husband as a wife to him.

4 Kaya nagkaroon siya ng kaugnayan kay Agar, at nabuntis siya. At nang makita niyang nabuntis siya, tiningnan niya ng may pag-aalipusta ang kaniyang among babae.

And he went in to Agar, and she conceived, and saw that she was with child, and her mistress was dishonoured before her.

5 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Sarai kay Abram, “Ang kamaliang ito sa akin ay dahil sa iyo. Ibinigay ko ang aking babaeng lingkod sa iyong mga bisig, at nang makita niyang siya ay nabuntis, hinamak niya ako sa kaniyang paningin. Hayaan mong si Yahweh ang humatol sa pagitan natin.

And Sara said to Abram, I am injured by thee; I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and when I saw that she was with child, I was dishonoured before her. The Lord judge between me and thee.

6 Pero sinabi ni Abram kay Sarai, “Tingnan mo, nasa iyong kapangyarihan ang iyong babaeng lingkod, gawin mo sa kaniya ang iniisip mong pinakamabuti.” Kaya pinagmalupitan siya ni Sarai, at siya ay tumakas mula sa kaniya.

And Abram said to Sara, Behold thy handmaid is in thy hands, use her as it may seem good to thee. And Sara afflicted her, and she fled from her face.

7 Ang anghel ni Yahweh ay nakita siya sa isang bukal ng tubig sa ilang, ang bukal na matatagpuan sa daan patungong Shur.

And an angel of the Lord found her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Sur.

8 Sinabi niya, “Agar, alipin ni Sarai, saan ka nanggaling at saan ka pupunta?” Sinabi niya, “Tumakas ako mula sa aking among babae na si Sarai”.

And the angel of the Lord said to her, Agar, Sara's maid, whence comest thou, and wither goest thou? and she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sara.

9 Sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel ni Yahweh, “Bumalik ka sa iyong among babae, at sumailalim ka sa kaniyang kapangyarihan”.

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

10 Pagkatapos sinabi ng anghel ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Labis kong pararamihin ang iyong mga kaapu-apuhan para maging napakarami nila para bilangin.

And the angel of the Lord said to her, I will surely multiply thy seed, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 Sinabi rin sa kaniya ng anghel ni Yahweh, “Tingnan mo, ikaw ay buntis, at manganganak ka ng isang anak na lalaki, at pangangalanan mo siyang Ismael, dahil narinig ni Yahweh ang iyong paghihirap”.

And the angel of the Lord said to her, Behold thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ismael, for the Lord hath hearkened to thy humiliation.

12 Siya ay magiging isang lalaking mistulang mabangis na asno. Magiging kalaban siya ng bawat tao at bawat tao ay magiging kalaban niya at mamumuhay siyang hiwalay sa kaniyang mga kapatid.

He shall be a wild man, his hands against all, and the hands of all against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

13 Pagkatapos binigay niya ang pangalang ito kay Yahweh na nangusap sa kaniya, “Ikaw ang Diyos na nakakakita sa akin,” dahil sinabi niya, “Talaga bang patuloy akong makakakita, kahit na pagkatapos niya akong nakita?”

And she called the name of the Lord God who spoke to her, Thou art God who seest me; for she said, For I have openly seen him that appeared to me.

14 Dahil dito tinawag na Beerlahairoi ang balon; masdan, naroon ito sa pagitan ng Kades at Bered.

Therefore she called the well, The well of him whom I have openly seen; behold it is between Cades and Barad.

15 Nanganak si Agar ng anak na lalaki ni Abram, at pinangalanan ni Abram ang kaniyang anak, na isinilang ni Agar, na Ismael.

And Agar bore a son to Abram; and Abram called the name of his son which Agar bore to him, Ismael.

16 Si Abram ay walumpu't-anim na taong gulang nang isilang ni Agar si Ismael para kay Abram.

And Abram was eighty-six years old, when Agar bore Ismael to Abram.
