Genèse 16
1 Sara, femme d'Abram, ne lui avait point donné d'enfants; elle avait une servante égyptienne nommée Agar.
Now Sarai [Mockery], Avram [Exalted father]’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], whose name was Hagar [Flight].
2 Elle dit donc à Abram: Le Seigneur a clos mes entrailles pour que je n'enfante point: Approche-toi de ma servante, afin que d'elle il me vienne un enfant. Abram prêta l'oreille à la parole de Sara.
Sarai [Mockery] said to Avram [Exalted father], “See now, Adonai has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Avram [Exalted father] sh'ma ·hear obey· the voice of Sarai [Mockery].
3 Et Sara, femme d'Abram, ayant pris l'Égyptienne Agar sa servante, après dix ans de séjour en la terre de Chanaan, la donna pour femme à Abram son mari.
Sarai [Mockery], Avram [Exalted father]’s wife, took Hagar [Flight] the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], her servant, after Avram [Exalted father] had lived ten years in the land of Canaan [Humbled], and gave her to Avram [Exalted father] her husband to be his wife.
4 Celui-ci s'approcha d'Agar, et elle conçut; bientôt elle vit qu'elle portait un enfant; et sa maîtresse fut méprisée par elle.
He went in to Hagar [Flight], and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5 Sara dit alors à Abram: Tu me traites injustement; j'ai placé sur ton sein ma servante; elle a vu qu'elle porte un enfant, et je suis méprisée par elle; que Dieu juge entre toi et moi.
Sarai [Mockery] said to Avram [Exalted father], “This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Adonai judge between me and you.”
6 Abram lui répondit: Voici la servante dans tes mains; uses-en avec elle comme il te sera agréable. Et Sara la maltraita, et elle s'enfuit loin de sa face.
But Avram [Exalted father] said to Sarai [Mockery], “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai [Mockery] dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.
7 L'ange du Seigneur vint la trouver dans le désert auprès d'une fontaine, celle qui est sur le chemin de Sur,
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
8 Et lui dit: Agar, servante de Sara, d'où viens-tu, et où vas-tu? Je fuis, répondit-elle, loin de la face de Sara ma maîtresse.
He said, “Hagar [Flight], Sarai [Mockery]’s servant, where did you come from? Where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai [Mockery].”
9 L'Ange du Seigneur ajouta: Retourne vers ta maîtresse, humilie-toi, et courbe-toi sous ses mains.
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to her, “Teshuvah ·Completely return· to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.”
10 Il dit ensuite: Je multiplierai et multiplierai ta race; elle sera innombrable par sa multitude.
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.”
11 Et l'ange du Seigneur ajouta: Te voilà enceinte, tu enfanteras un fils, auquel tu donneras le nom d'Ismaël, parce que le Seigneur a ouï ton humiliation.
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael [Pays attention God], because Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· your affliction.
12 Ce sera un homme rude; ses mains seront sur tous et les mains de tous sur lui, et il habitera en face de tous ses frères.
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 opposite all of his brothers.”
13 Alors Agar invoqua le nom du Seigneur qui lui parlait, disant: Dieu, vous m'avez regardée; car, se dit-elle, j'ai vu en face celui qui m'est apparu.
She called the name of Adonai who spoke to her, “You are El Ro'i Ra'ah [God who sees me / God who provides],” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”
14 À cause de cela, elle nomma la source: puits de celui que j'ai vu en face. Ce puits est entre Cadès et Barad.
Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi [Well of the one who lives and sees]. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Bientôt Agar enfanta un fils à Abram, et Abram donna au fils que lui avait enfanté Agar le nom d'Ismaël.
Hagar [Flight] bore a son for Avram [Exalted father]. Avram [Exalted father] called the name of his son, whom Hagar [Flight] bore, Ishmael [Pays attention God].
16 Or Abram avait quatre-vingt-six ans, lorsque Agar lui enfanta Ismaël.
Avram [Exalted father] was eighty-six years old when Hagar [Flight] bore Ishmael [Pays attention God] to Avram [Exalted father].
