Postanak 16
1 Abramova žena Saraja nije mu rađala djece. A imaše ona sluškinju Egipćanku - zvala se Hagara.
Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar.
2 I reče Saraja Abramu: “Vidiš, Jahve me učinio nerotkinjom. Hajde k mojoj sluškinji, možda ću imati djece.” Abram posluša riječ Sarajinu.
[So one day] Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So (sleep with/have sex with) [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said.
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 Abram (slept with/had sex with) Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan [land]. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife.
4 Uđe on k Hagari te ona zače. A kad je vidjela da je začela, s prezirom je gledala na svoju gospodaricu.
He (slept with/had sex with) [EUP] Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress Sarai.
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, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to 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.
So Abram said to Sarai, “[You listen to me]! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai.
7 Anđeo Jahvin nađe je kod izvora u pustinji - uz vrelo što je na putu prema Šuru -
An angel of Yahweh found her as she was near a spring of water in the desert. It was the spring that was alongside the road to Shur.
8 pa je zapita: “Hagaro, sluškinjo Sarajina, odakle dolaziš i kamo ideš?” “Bježim, evo, od svoje gospodarice Saraje”, odgovori ona.
He said to her, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I have run away from Sarai, my mistress.”
9 Nato joj anđeo Jahvin reče: “Vrati se svojoj gospodarici i pokori joj se!”
The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
10 Još joj reče anđeo Jahvin: “Tvoje ću potomstvo silno umnožiti; od mnoštva se neće moći ni prebrojiti.”
The angel also said to her, “I will enable you to bear so many descendants that no one will be able to count them!”
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 also said to her, “[Listen to this!] You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, [which means ‘God hears]’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.
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.”
But your son will be as uncontrollable as a wild donkey [MET]. He will oppose everyone, and everyone will oppose him [MTY]. He will live far away from his relatives [SYN].”
13 A Jahvu koji joj govoraše nazva: “Ti si El Roi - Svevid Bog”, jer - reče ona - “vidjeh Boga i nakon viđenja - još živim!”
Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “(It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?)” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’.
14 Stoga se taj zdenac zove Beer Lahaj Roi - Zdenac životvornog Svevida, a eno ga između Kadeša i Bereda.
That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, [which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’!] It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Rodi Hagara Abramu sina, a Abram sinu što mu ga rodi Hagara nadjene ime Jišmael.
So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
16 Abramu je bilo osamdeset i šest godina kad mu je Hagara rodila Jišmaela.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
