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.

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

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 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.

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 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 unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

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 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 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.

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

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 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 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 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 unto 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 unto her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that 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 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 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.

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 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 that spake unto her, Thou art a God that seeth: for she said, Have I even here looked after him that seeth me?

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

Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is 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.

And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called the name of his son, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

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

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