اَلتَّكْوِينُ 16

١ 1 وَأَمَّا سَارَايُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَبْرَامَ فَلَمْ تَلِدْ لَهُ. وَكَانَتْ لَهَا جَارِيَةٌ مِصْرِيَّةٌ ٱسْمُهَا هَاجَرُ،

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no sons. And she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

٢ 2 فَقَالَتْ سَارَايُ لِأَبْرَامَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَمْسَكَنِي عَنِ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ. ٱدْخُلْ عَلَى جَارِيَتِي لَعَلِّي أُرْزَقُ مِنْهَا بَنِينَ». فَسَمِعَ أَبْرَامُ لِقَوْلِ سَارَايَ.

And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has restrained me from bearing. Go in, I pray thee, to my handmaid. It may be that I will obtain sons by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

٣ 3 فَأَخَذَتْ سَارَايُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَبْرَامَ هَاجَرَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّةَ جَارِيَتَهَا، مِنْ بَعْدِ عَشَرِ سِنِينَ لإِقَامَةِ أَبْرَامَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِأَبْرَامَ رَجُلِهَا زَوْجَةً لَهُ.

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.

٤ 4 فَدَخَلَ عَلَى هَاجَرَ فَحَبِلَتْ. وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا حَبِلَتْ صَغُرَتْ مَوْلَاتُهَا فِي عَيْنَيْهَا.

And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

٥ 5 فَقَالَتْ سَارَايُ لِأَبْرَامَ: «ظُلْمِي عَلَيْكَ! أَنَا دَفَعْتُ جَارِيَتِي إِلَى حِضْنِكَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا حَبِلَتْ صَغُرْتُ فِي عَيْنَيْهَا. يَقْضِي ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ».

And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be upon thee. I gave my handmaid into they bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِسَارَايَ: «هُوَذَا جَارِيَتُكِ فِي يَدِكِ. ٱفْعَلِي بِهَا مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكِ». فَأَذَلَّتْهَا سَارَايُ، فَهَرَبَتْ مِنْ وَجْهِهَا.

But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

٧ 7 فَوَجَدَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى عَيْنِ ٱلْمَاءِ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، عَلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ ٱلَّتِي فِي طَرِيقِ شُورَ.

And the agent of Jehovah found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

٨ 8 وَقَالَ: «يَا هَاجَرُ جَارِيَةَ سَارَايَ، مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتِ؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبِينَ؟». فَقَالَتْ: «أَنَا هَارِبَةٌ مِنْ وَجْهِ مَوْلَاتِي سَارَايَ».

And he said, Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, from where have thou come? And where are thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.

٩ 9 فَقَالَ لَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «ٱرْجِعِي إِلَى مَوْلَاتِكِ وَٱخْضَعِي تَحْتَ يَدَيْهَا».

And the agent of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

١٠ 10 وَقَالَ لَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «تَكْثِيرًا أُكَثِّرُ نَسْلَكِ فَلَا يُعَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْكَثْرَةِ».

And the agent of Jehovah said to her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

١١ 11 وَقَالَ لَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «هَا أَنْتِ حُبْلَى، فَتَلِدِينَ ٱبْنًا وَتَدْعِينَ ٱسْمَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ سَمِعَ لِمَذَلَّتِكِ.

And the agent of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou are with child, and shall bear a son, and thou shall call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah has heard thy affliction.

١٢ 12 وَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ إِنْسَانًا وَحْشِيًّا، يَدُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، وَيَدُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَمَامَ جَمِيعِ إِخْوَتِهِ يَسْكُنُ».

And he will be a wild donkey among men, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brothers.

١٣ 13 فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ مَعَهَا: «أَنْتَ إِيلُ رُئِي». لِأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «أَهَهُنَا أَيْضًا رَأَيْتُ بَعْدَ رُؤْيَةٍ؟».

And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou are a God who sees, for she said, Have I even here looked behind him who sees me?

١٤ 14 لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَتِ ٱلْبِئْرُ «بِئْرَ لَحَيْ رُئِي». هَا هِيَ بَيْنَ قَادِشَ وَبَارَدَ.

Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

١٥ 15 فَوَلَدَتْ هَاجَرُ لِأَبْرَامَ ٱبْنًا. وَدَعَا أَبْرَامُ ٱسْمَ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ هَاجَرُ «إِسْمَاعِيلَ».

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

١٦ 16 كَانَ أَبْرَامُ ٱبْنَ سِتٍّ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ هَاجَرُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ لِأَبْرَامَ.

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