Abram en Hagar krijgen een zoon
16 Maar Abram en Sarai kregen geen kinderen. Daarom gaf Sarai haar dienares, het Egyptische meisje Hagar, als tweede vrouw aan Abram. 2 ‘De Here heeft mij geen kinderen gegeven,’ zei Sarai, ‘neem daarom mijn dienares tot vrouw. Haar kinderen zullen dan de mijne zijn.’ 3 Abram stemde in met Saraiʼs voorstel. Dit gebeurde tien jaar nadat Abram in Kanaän kwam. 4 Hij had gemeenschap met Hagar en zij raakte in verwachting. Toen ze dat merkte, nam zij echter een hooghartige houding aan tegenover haar meesteres Sarai. 5 Sarai beklaagde zich daarover bij Abram. ‘Het is allemaal jouw schuld,’ zei ze boos. ‘Ik heb je mijn dienares gegeven en nu zij in verwachting is, kijkt ze op mij neer. Moge de Here recht spreken over wat mij is aangedaan.’ 6 ‘Je mag haar van mij onder handen nemen als je dat nodig vindt,’ antwoordde Abram. Toen nam Sarai Hagar onder handen en sloeg haar, zodat ze vluchtte.
7 De Engel van de Here vond Hagar bij een bron in de woestijn langs de weg naar Sur. 8 De Engel zei: ‘Hagar, dienares van Sarai, waar komt u vandaan en waar gaat u heen?’ Hagar antwoordde: ‘Ik ben op de vlucht voor mijn meesteres.’ 9 De Engel zei: ‘Ga terug naar uw meesteres en gehoorzaam haar, 10 want uw nakomelingen zullen een groot volk worden. 11 U bent in verwachting en u zult een zoon krijgen. Noem hem Ismaël (God luistert), want de Here heeft uw klachten gehoord. 12 Uw zoon zal een wildebras worden, een vrijbuiter! Hij zal zich veel vijanden maken en zijn hele familie trotseren.’
13 Hierna noemde Hagar de naam van de Here—want Hij was het die met haar had gesproken—‘de God, die ziet en door mij werd gezien.’ Ze was verbaasd dat zij God had gezien en toch nog in leven was. 14 Later werd de bron in de woestijn ‘De bron van de Levende die mij ziet’ genoemd. Hij ligt tussen Kades en Bered. 15,16 Zo kreeg Abram een zoon van Hagar en hij noemde hem Ismaël. Abram was toen zesentachtig jaar oud.

16 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. 2 Sarai said to Abram, “See now, Yahweh has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3 Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife. 4 He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. 5 Sarai said to Abram, “This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, she despised me. May Yahweh judge between me and you.”
6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.
7 Yahweh’s angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur. 8 He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where did you come from? Where are you going?”
She said, “I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.”
9 Yahweh’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.” 10 Yahweh’s angel said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.” 11 Yahweh’s angel said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because Yahweh has heard your affliction. 12 He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposed to all of his brothers.”
13 She called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?” 14 Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi.[a] Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

Hagar and Ishmael
16 Now Sarai,(A) Abram’s wife, had borne him no children.(B) But she had an Egyptian slave(C) named Hagar;(D) 2 so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children.(E) Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.”(F)
Abram agreed to what Sarai said. 3 So after Abram had been living in Canaan(G) ten years,(H) Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. 4 He slept with Hagar,(I) and she conceived.
When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.(J) 5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.”(K)
6 “Your slave is in your hands,(L)” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated(M) Hagar; so she fled from her.
7 The angel of the Lord(N) found Hagar near a spring(O) in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.(P) 8 And he said, “Hagar,(Q) slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”(R)
“I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.
9 Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”(S)
11 The angel of the Lord(T) also said to her:
“You are now pregnant
and you will give birth to a son.(U)
You shall name him(V) Ishmael,[a](W)
for the Lord has heard of your misery.(X)
12 He will be a wild donkey(Y) of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward[b] all his brothers.(Z)”
13 She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,(AA)” for she said, “I have now seen[c] the One who sees me.”(AB) 14 That is why the well(AC) was called Beer Lahai Roi[d];(AD) it is still there, between Kadesh(AE) and Bered.
15 So Hagar(AF) bore Abram a son,(AG) and Abram gave the name Ishmael(AH) to the son she had borne. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old(AI) when Hagar bore him Ishmael.

Abram, Hagar och Ismael
16 Abrams hustru Saraj hade inte fött honom några barn. Men Saraj hade en egyptisk slavinna, som hette Hagar, 2 och så sa Saraj till Abram: ”Eftersom Herren inte har gett mig några barn, kan du ligga med min slavinna, för att jag kanske kan få barn genom henne.” Abram gick med på hennes förslag.
3 Så gav Saraj, Abrams hustru, sin egyptiska slavinna Hagar till sin man. Abram hade då bott tio år i Kanaans land. 4 Han låg med Hagar, och hon blev med barn. När hon förstod att hon var gravid, började hon se ner på sin husmor Saraj.
5 Då sa Saraj till Abram: ”Allt är ditt fel! Jag gav min slavinna i din famn, men när hon blev gravid började hon se ner på mig. Må Herren döma mellan mig och dig!” 6 ”Slavinnan är i dina händer. Gör vad du tycker är bäst”, svarade Abram. Då bestraffade Saraj henne så att hon flydde.
7 Herrens ängel fann henne vid en brunn i öknen, på vägen till Shur. 8 Ängeln frågade: ”Hagar, Sarajs slavinna, var har du kommit ifrån och vart är du på väg?” ”Jag är på flykt från min husmor Saraj”, svarade Hagar. 9 Då sa Herrens ängel: ”Gå tillbaka till din husmor och underkasta dig henne!” 10 Herrens ängel sa vidare: ”Jag ska göra dina ättlingar så talrika att ingen kan räkna dem.” 11 Och Herrens ängel sa vidare till henne:
”Du är med barn och du kommer att få en son,
som du ska kalla Ismael[a].
Herren har nämligen hört din klagan.
12 Denne din son kommer att vara som en vildåsna.
Han kommer att vara emot alla,
och alla kommer att vara emot honom.
Han ska leva öster om[b] sina bröder.”
13 Därefter kallade Hagar Herren som talat med henne för ”den Gud som ser mig”, eftersom hon tänkte: ”Jag har sett den som ser mig.” 14 Senare kallades brunnen för Beer Lachaj Roi[c]. Den ligger mellan Kadesh och Bered.
15 Så födde Hagar en son åt Abram, och Abram kallade honom Ismael. 16 Abram var åttiosex år gammal när Hagar födde Ismael åt honom.
