Kejadian 16

¹Adapun Sarai, isteri Abram itu, tidak beranak. Ia mempunyai seorang hamba perempuan, orang Mesir, Hagar namanya.

¹Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. She had a female Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar.

²Berkatalah Sarai kepada Abram: "Engkau tahu, TUHAN tidak memberi aku melahirkan anak. Karena itu baiklah hampiri hambaku itu; mungkin oleh dialah aku dapat memperoleh seorang anak." Dan Abram mendengarkan perkataan Sarai.

²And Sarai said to Abram, "Behold now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Go in to my servant; it may be that I shall obtain children by her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

³Jadi Sarai, isteri Abram itu, mengambil Hagar, hambanya, orang Mesir itu, --yakni ketika Abram telah sepuluh tahun tinggal di tanah Kanaan--,lalu memberikannya kepada Abram, suaminya, untuk menjadi isterinya.

³So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife.

⁴Abram menghampiri Hagar, lalu mengandunglah perempuan itu. Ketika Hagar tahu, bahwa ia mengandung, maka ia memandang rendah akan nyonyanya itu.

⁴And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.

⁵Lalu berkatalah Sarai kepada Abram: "Penghinaan yang kuderita ini adalah tanggung jawabmu; akulah yang memberikan hambaku ke pangkuanmu, tetapi baru saja ia tahu, bahwa ia mengandung, ia memandang rendah akan aku; TUHAN kiranya yang menjadi Hakim antara aku dan engkau."

⁵And Sarai said to Abram, "May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me!"

⁶Kata Abram kepada Sarai: "Hambamu itu di bawah kekuasaanmu; perbuatlah kepadanya apa yang kaupandang baik." Lalu Sarai menindas Hagar, sehingga ia lari meninggalkannya.

⁶But Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, your servant is in your power; do to her as you please." Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.

⁷Lalu Malaikat TUHAN menjumpainya dekat suatu mata air di padang gurun, yakni dekat mata air di jalan ke Syur.

⁷The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur.

⁸Katanya: "Hagar, hamba Sarai, dari manakah datangmu dan ke manakah pergimu?" Jawabnya: "Aku lari meninggalkan Sarai, nyonyaku."

⁸And he said, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai."

⁹Lalu kata Malaikat TUHAN itu kepadanya: "Kembalilah kepada nyonyamu, biarkanlah engkau ditindas di bawah kekuasaannya."

⁹The angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress and submit to her."

¹⁰Lagi kata Malaikat TUHAN itu kepadanya: "Aku akan membuat sangat banyak keturunanmu, sehingga tidak dapat dihitung karena banyaknya."

¹⁰The angel of the LORD also said to her, "I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude."

¹¹Selanjutnya kata Malaikat TUHAN itu kepadanya: "Engkau mengandung dan akan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki dan akan menamainya Ismael, sebab TUHAN telah mendengar tentang penindasan atasmu itu.

¹¹And the angel of the LORD said to her, "Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has listened to your affliction.

¹²Seorang laki-laki yang lakunya seperti keledai liar, demikianlah nanti anak itu; tangannya akan melawan tiap-tiap orang dan tangan tiap-tiap orang akan melawan dia, dan di tempat kediamannya ia akan menentang semua saudaranya."

¹²He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen."

¹³Kemudian Hagar menamakan TUHAN yang telah berfirman kepadanya itu dengan sebutan: "Engkaulah El-Roi." Sebab katanya: "Bukankah di sini kulihat Dia yang telah melihat aku?"

¹³So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, "You are a God of seeing," for she said, "Truly here I have seen him who looks after me."

¹⁴Sebab itu sumur tadi disebutkan orang: sumur Lahai-Roi; letaknya antara Kadesh dan Bered.

¹⁴Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered.

¹⁵Lalu Hagar melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Abram dan Abram menamai anak yang dilahirkan Hagar itu Ismael.

¹⁵And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

¹⁶Abram berumur delapan puluh enam tahun, ketika Hagar melahirkan Ismael baginya.

¹⁶Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
