Genesis 16

1 Sarai, Abram's wife, hadn't been able to have any children for him. However, she owned a female Egyptian slave 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, “Please listen to me. The Lord hasn't let me have any children. So please go and sleep with my slave. Maybe I can have a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai had suggested.

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 Sarai, Abram's wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband as his wife. Abram had been living in the land of Canaan for ten years when this happened.

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

4 Abram slept with Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized she was pregnant, she treated her mistress with contempt.

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

5 Then Sarai complained to Abram, “What I'm suffering is all your doing! I gave you my servant to sleep with, and now that she knows she's pregnant, she treats me with contempt. May the Lord decide who's at fault—you or 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 “Listen, she's your slave!” Abram replied. “You can do whatever you want to her.” Sarai treated Hagar so badly that she ran away.

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 The angel of the Lord met Hagar at a spring in the desert—the spring on the road to Shur.

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

8 He asked her, “Hagar, Sarai's slave—where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I'm 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 “Go back to your mistress and do what she tells you,” the angel of the Lord told her.

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

10 Then he continued, “I will give you many, many descendants—in fact they'll be so many they can't be counted.”

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 went on to tell her: “Listen! You're pregnant, and you will have a son. You are to name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard how you've suffered.

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

12 He'll be a wild donkey kind of man—he will fight with everyone, and everyone will fight with him. He will forever be fighting with his relatives.”

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 From then on Hagar called the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” because she said, “Here I saw 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 That's why the well is called “the Well of the Living One who Sees Me.” It's still there, between Kadesh and Bered.

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

15 Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram. Abram named his son Ishmael.

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

16 Abram was 86 when Hagar had Ishmael.

Pada waktu itu Abram berumur delapan puluh enam tahun.
