1 Mosebog 16
1 Abrams Hustru Saraj fødte ham intet Barn. Men Saraj havde en Ægyptisk Trælkvinde ved Navn Hagar;
Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 og Saraj sagde til Abram: "HERREN har jo nægtet mig Børn; gå derfor ind til min Trælkvinde, måske kan jeg få en Søn ved hende!" Og Abram adlød Saraj.
Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD 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 Så tog Abrams Hustru Saraj sin Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, efter at Abram havde boet ti År i Kana'ans Land, og gav sin Mand Abram hende til Hustru;
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 og han gik ind til Hagar, og hun blev frugtsommelig. Men da hun så, at hun var frugtsommelig, lod hun hånt om sin Herskerinde.
He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5 Da sagde Saraj til Abram: "Min Krænkelse komme over dig! Jeg lagde selv min Trælkvinde i din Favn, og nu hun ser, at hun skal føde, lader hun hånt om mig; HERREN være Dommer mellem mig og dig!"
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 the LORD judge between me and you.”
6 Abram svarede Saraj: "Din Trældkvinde er i din Hånd, gør med hende, hvad du finder for godt!" Da plagede Saraj hende, så hun flygtede for hende.
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 Men HERRENs Engel fandt hende ved Vandkilden i Ørkenen, ved Kilden på Vejen til Sjur;
The LORD’s angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
8 og han sagde: "Hvorfra kommer du, Hagar, Sarajs Trælkvinde, og hvor går du hen?" Hun svarede: "Jeg flygter for min Herskerinde Saraj!"
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 Da sagde HERRENs Engel til hende: "Vend tilbage til din Herskerinde og find dig i hendes Mishandling!"
The LORD’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.”
10 Og HERRENs Engel sagde til hende: "Jeg vil gøre dit Afkom så talrigt, at det ikke kan tælles."
The LORD’s angel said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.”
11 Og HERRENs Engel sagde til hende: "Se, du er frugtsommelig, og du skal føde en Søn, som du skal kalde Ismael, thi HERREN har hørt, hvad du har lidt;
The LORD’s angel said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your affliction.
12 og han skal blive et Menneske Vildæsel, hvis Hånd er mod alle, og alles Hånd mod ham, og han skal ligge i Strid med alle sine Frænder!"
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 Så gav hun HERREN, der havde talet til hende, Navnet: Du er en Gud, som ser; thi hun sagde: "Har jeg virkelig her set et Glimt af ham, som ser mig?"
She called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”
14 Derfor kaldte man Brønden Be'er-lahaj-ro'i; den ligger mellem Kadesj og Bered.
Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Og Hagar fødte Abram en Søn, og Abram kaldte Sønnen, Hagar fødte ham, Ismael.
Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 Abram var seks og firsindstyve År gammel, da Hagar fødte ham Ismael.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
