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.
Sarai, Abram's wife, hadn't been able to have any children for him. However, she owned a female Egyptian slave named Hagar,
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.
so Sarai said to Abram, “Please listen to me. The Lord hasn't let me have any children. So please go and sleep with my slave. Maybe I can have a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai had suggested.
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 Sarai, Abram's wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband as his wife. Abram had been living in the land of Canaan for ten years when this happened.
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.
Abram slept with Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized she was pregnant, she treated her mistress with contempt.
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.
Then Sarai complained to Abram, “What I'm suffering is all your doing! I gave you my servant to sleep with, and now that she knows she's pregnant, she treats me with contempt. May the Lord decide who's at fault—you or me!”
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.
“Listen, she's your slave!” Abram replied. “You can do whatever you want to her.” Sarai treated Hagar so badly that she ran away.
7 Ang anghel ni Yahweh ay nakita siya sa isang bukal ng tubig sa ilang, ang bukal na matatagpuan sa daan patungong Shur.
The angel of the Lord met Hagar at a spring in the desert—the spring on the road to Shur.
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”.
He asked her, “Hagar, Sarai's slave—where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I'm running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.
9 Sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel ni Yahweh, “Bumalik ka sa iyong among babae, at sumailalim ka sa kaniyang kapangyarihan”.
“Go back to your mistress and do what she tells you,” the angel of the Lord told her.
10 Pagkatapos sinabi ng anghel ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Labis kong pararamihin ang iyong mga kaapu-apuhan para maging napakarami nila para bilangin.
Then he continued, “I will give you many, many descendants—in fact they'll be so many they can't be counted.”
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”.
The angel of the Lord went on to tell her: “Listen! You're pregnant, and you will have a son. You are to name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard how you've suffered.
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'll be a wild donkey kind of man—he will fight with everyone, and everyone will fight with him. He will forever be fighting with his relatives.”
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?”
From then on Hagar called the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” because she said, “Here I saw the one who sees me.”
14 Dahil dito tinawag na Beerlahairoi ang balon; masdan, naroon ito sa pagitan ng Kades at Bered.
That's why the well is called “the Well of the Living One who Sees Me.” It's still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Nanganak si Agar ng anak na lalaki ni Abram, at pinangalanan ni Abram ang kaniyang anak, na isinilang ni Agar, na Ismael.
Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram. Abram named his son Ishmael.
16 Si Abram ay walumpu't-anim na taong gulang nang isilang ni Agar si Ismael para kay Abram.
Abram was 86 when Hagar had Ishmael.
