Genesis 16

1 Now Abram’s wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.

Sarai, istri Abram, belum juga mendapat anak. Tetapi ia mempunyai seorang hamba dari Mesir, seorang gadis yang bernama Hagar.

2 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.

Sarai berkata kepada Abram, "TUHAN tidak memungkinkan saya melahirkan anak. Sebab itu, sebaiknya engkau tidur dengan hamba saya ini. Barangkali dia dapat melahirkan anak untuk saya." Abram setuju dengan usul Sarai.

3 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.

Demikianlah Sarai memberikan Hagar kepada Abram untuk dijadikan selir. Pada waktu itu Abram sudah sepuluh tahun di Kanaan.

4 And he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.

Abram tidur dengan Hagar, lalu mengandunglah wanita itu. Tetapi ketika Hagar tahu bahwa ia hamil, ia menjadi sombong dan meremehkan Sarai.

5 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.”

Lalu Sarai berkata kepada Abram, "Saya sudah memberikan Hagar hamba saya kepadamu, dan sejak ia tahu bahwa ia mengandung, ia meremehkan saya. Itu salahmu. Semoga TUHAN memutuskan perkara ini antara engkau dan saya."

6 “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.

Jawab Abram, "Baiklah, dia hambamu dan engkau berkuasa atas dia; perlakukanlah dia semaumu." Lalu Sarai memperlakukan Hagar dengan sangat kejam, sehingga ia melarikan diri.

7 Now the angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the desert—the spring along the road to Shur.

Malaikat TUHAN menjumpai Hagar di dekat mata air di padang gurun, di jalan yang menuju ke padang gurun Sur.

8 “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.

Kata malaikat itu, "Hagar, hamba Sarai, engkau dari mana dan mau ke mana?" Jawab Hagar, "Saya lari dari Sarai nyonya saya."

9 So the angel of the LORD told her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.”

Malaikat itu berkata, "Kembalilah kepadanya dan layanilah dia."

10 Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”

Lalu kata malaikat itu lagi, "Aku akan memberikan kepadamu begitu banyak anak cucu, sehingga tidak seorang pun dapat menghitung mereka.

11 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.

Tidak lama lagi engkau akan melahirkan anak laki-laki; namakanlah dia Ismael, karena TUHAN telah mendengar tangismu.

12 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.”

Tetapi anakmu itu akan hidup seperti keledai liar; ia akan melawan setiap orang, dan setiap orang akan melawan dia. Ia akan hidup terpisah dari semua sanak saudaranya."

13 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!”

Hagar bertanya dalam hatinya, "Benarkah saya telah melihat Allah yang memperhatikan saya?" Maka ia menyebut TUHAN, yang telah berkata-kata kepadanya, "Allah Yang Memperhatikan".

14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is located between Kadesh and Bered.

Itulah sebabnya orang menyebut sumur di antara Kades dan Bered itu, "Sumur Dia Yang Hidup Yang Memperhatikan Aku".

15 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.

Lalu Hagar melahirkan anak laki-laki, dan Abram ayahnya, menamakan anak itu Ismael.

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

Pada waktu itu Abram berumur delapan puluh enam tahun.
