Postanak 16
1 Abramova žena Saraja nije mu rađala djece. A imaše ona sluškinju Egipćanku - zvala se Hagara.
Now Abram’s wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.
2 I reče Saraja Abramu: “Vidiš, Jahve me učinio nerotkinjom. Hajde k mojoj sluškinji, možda ću imati djece.” Abram posluša riječ Sarajinu.
So Sarai said to Abram, “Look now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go to my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
3 Tako, pošto je Abram proboravio deset godina u zemlji kanaanskoj, njegova žena Saraja uzme Hagaru, Egipćanku, sluškinju svoju, pa je dade svome mužu Abramu za ženu.
So after he had lived in Canaan for ten years, his wife Sarai took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to Abram to be his wife.
4 Uđe on k Hagari te ona zače. A kad je vidjela da je začela, s prezirom je gledala na svoju gospodaricu.
And he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
5 Tada reče Saraja Abramu: “Nepravda što se meni nanosi tvoja je krivnja! Prepustila sam svoju sluškinju tvome zagrljaju, ali otkako opazi da je zanijela, s prezirom na me gleda. Jahve sudio i meni i tebi!”
Then Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be upon you! I delivered my servant into your arms, and ever since she saw that she was pregnant, she has treated me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me.”
6 Nato Abram odvrati Saraji: “Tvoja je sluškinja u tvojoj ruci: kako ti se čini da je dobro, tako prema njoj postupi!” Saraja postupi prema njoj tako loše da ona od nje pobježe.
“Here,” said Abram, “your servant is in your hands. Do whatever you want with her.” Then Sarai treated Hagar so harshly that she fled from her.
7 Anđeo Jahvin nađe je kod izvora u pustinji - uz vrelo što je na putu prema Šuru -
Now the angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the desert—the spring along the road to Shur.
8 pa je zapita: “Hagaro, sluškinjo Sarajina, odakle dolaziš i kamo ideš?” “Bježim, evo, od svoje gospodarice Saraje”, odgovori ona.
“Hagar, servant of Sarai,” he said, “where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I am running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.
9 Nato joj anđeo Jahvin reče: “Vrati se svojoj gospodarici i pokori joj se!”
So the angel of the LORD told her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.”
10 Još joj reče anđeo Jahvin: “Tvoje ću potomstvo silno umnožiti; od mnoštva se neće moći ni prebrojiti.”
Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”
11 Dalje joj je anđeo Jahvin rekao: “Gle, zanijela si i rodit ćeš sina. Nadjeni mu ime Jišmael, jer Jahve ču jad tvoj.
The angel of the LORD proceeded: “Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your cry of affliction.
12 On će biti kao divlje magare: ruka će se njegova dizati na svakoga i svačija ruka na njega; i pred licem sve mu braće on će stan sebi podići.”
He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
13 A Jahvu koji joj govoraše nazva: “Ti si El Roi - Svevid Bog”, jer - reče ona - “vidjeh Boga i nakon viđenja - još živim!”
So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen the One who sees me!”
14 Stoga se taj zdenac zove Beer Lahaj Roi - Zdenac životvornog Svevida, a eno ga između Kadeša i Bereda.
Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is located between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Rodi Hagara Abramu sina, a Abram sinu što mu ga rodi Hagara nadjene ime Jišmael.
And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.
16 Abramu je bilo osamdeset i šest godina kad mu je Hagara rodila Jišmaela.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him.
