Genesis 16
New King James Version
Hagar and Ishmael
16 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, (A)had borne him no children. And she had (B)an Egyptian maidservant whose name was (C)Hagar. 2 (D)So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the Lord (E)has restrained me from bearing children. Please, (F)go in to my maid; perhaps I shall [a]obtain children by her.” And Abram (G)heeded the voice of Sarai. 3 Then Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram (H)had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan. 4 So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became (I)despised in her [b]eyes.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, [c]“My wrong be upon you! I gave my maid into your embrace; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became despised in her eyes. (J)The Lord judge between you and me.”
6 (K)So Abram said to Sarai, “Indeed your maid is in your hand; do to her as you please.” And when Sarai dealt harshly with her, (L)she fled from her presence.
7 Now the (M)Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, (N)by the spring on the way to (O)Shur. 8 And He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
She said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.”
9 The Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and (P)submit yourself under her hand.” 10 Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, (Q)“I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.” 11 And the Angel of the Lord said to her:
“Behold, you are with child,
(R)And you shall bear a son.
You shall call his name [d]Ishmael,
Because the Lord has heard your affliction.
12 (S)He shall be a wild man;
His hand shall be against every man,
And every man’s hand against him.
(T)And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”
13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-[e]the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, “Have I also here [f]seen Him (U)who sees me?” 14 Therefore the well was called (V)Beer Lahai Roi;[g] observe, it is (W)between Kadesh and Bered.
15 So (X)Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

Agar şi Ismael
16 Sarai, soţia lui Avram, nu-i născuse acestuia copii. Dar ea avea o sclavă egipteancă, pe care o chema Agar, 2 aşa că i-a spus lui Avram: „Domnul m-a oprit să am copii. Intră[a], te rog, la sclava mea; poate voi primi copii prin ea.“ Avram a ascultat-o pe Sarai. 3 Astfel, după ce Avram a locuit zece ani în Canaan, soţia sa, Sarai, a luat-o pe egipteanca Agar, sclava sa, şi i-a dat-o soţului ei, Avram, ca să-i fie soţie. 4 El a intrat la Agar, iar aceasta a rămas însărcinată; când a văzut că a rămas însărcinată, Agar a privit-o cu dispreţ pe stăpâna sa. 5 Atunci Sarai i-a spus lui Avram:
– Fie ca răul care mi se face să cadă peste tine! Ţi-am dat-o în braţe pe sclava mea, iar când a descoperit că a rămas însărcinată, m-a privit cu dispreţ. Domnul să judece între mine şi tine!
6 Avram i-a răspuns lui Sarai:
– Sclava ta este sub autoritatea ta; trateaz-o aşa cum crezi că este bine!
Sarai a asuprit-o pe Agar, iar aceasta a fugit de la ea. 7 Îngerul Domnului a găsit-o în pustie, lângă un izvor de apă – izvorul de lângă drumul care duce la Şur – 8 şi a întrebat-o:
– Agar, sclava lui Sarai, de unde vii şi unde mergi?
– Fug de stăpâna mea, Sarai, a răspuns ea.
9 Îngerul Domnului i-a zis:
– Întoarce-te la stăpâna ta şi supune-i-te. 10 Îi voi înmulţi atât de mult pe urmaşii tăi, încât acea mulţime nu va putea fi numărată, a adăugat Îngerul Domnului.
11 Îngerul Domnului i-a mai spus:
– Iată că eşti însărcinată
şi vei naşte un fiu.
Îi vei pune numele Ismael[b],
pentru că Domnul a auzit despre asuprirea ta.
12 El va fi ca un măgar sălbatic;
va fi împotriva tuturor oamenilor,
şi toţi oamenii vor fi împotriva lui;
va locui separat[c]
de toţi fraţii săi.
13 Agar L-a numit pe Domnul Care i-a vorbit: „Dumnezeul Care mă vede“[d], zicându-şi: „L-am văzut
într-adevăr aici pe Cel Care mă vede.“[e] 14 De aceea fântâna a fost numită Beer Lahai-Roi[f]; ea se află între Kadeş şi Bered. 15 Agar i-a născut lui Avram un fiu, iar Avram i-a pus numele Ismael. 16 Avram avea optzeci şi şase de ani când Agar i l-a născut pe Ismael.

Sarai and Hagar
16 Now (A)Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children, and she had (B)an Egyptian servant-woman whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai said to Abram, “Now behold, Yahweh has shut my womb from bearing children. (C)Please go in to my servant-woman; perhaps I will [a]obtain children through her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3 And after Abram had [b]lived (D)ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram’s wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant-woman, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife. 4 So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. Then she saw that she had conceived, so her mistress became [c]contemptible in her sight. 5 And Sarai said to Abram, “(E)May the violence done to me be upon you. I gave my servant-woman into your [d]embrace, but she saw that she had conceived, so I became [e]contemptible in her [f]sight. (F)May Yahweh judge between [g]you and me.” 6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your servant-woman is in your [h]hand; do to her what is good in your [i]sight.” So Sarai afflicted her, and (G)she fled from her presence.
7 Now (H)the angel of Yahweh found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to (I)Shur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant-woman, (J)where have you come from and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.” 9 Then the angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress and [j]humble yourself under her hands.” 10 Moreover, the (K)angel of Yahweh said to her, “(L)I will greatly multiply your seed so that [k]they will be too many to be counted.” 11 And the angel of Yahweh said to her further,
“Behold, you [l]are with child,
And you will bear a son;
And you shall call his name [m]Ishmael,
Because (M)Yahweh has heard your affliction.
12 And he will be a (N)wild donkey of a man,
His hand will be against everyone,
And everyone’s hand will be against him;
And he will dwell [n](O)in the face of all his brothers.”
13 Then she called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “[o]You are [p]a God who sees”; for she said, “(P)Have I even [q]remained alive here after seeing Him?” 14 Therefore the well was called [r]Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between (Q)Kadesh and Bered.
15 So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. 16 Now Abram was (R)eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to [s]him.
