Kejadian 16

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

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children; and she had a servant, a woman of Egypt whose name was Hagar.

2 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.

And Sarai said to Abram, See, the Lord has not let me have children; go in to my servant, for I may get a family through her. And Abram did as Sarai said.

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

So after Abram had been living for ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, and gave her to Abram for his wife.

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

And he went in to Hagar and she became with child, and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for her master's wife.

5 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."

And Sarai said to Abram, May my wrong be on you: I gave you my servant for your wife and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for me: may the Lord be judge between you and me.

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

And Abram said, The woman is in your power; do with her whatever seems good to you. And Sarai was cruel to her, so that she went running away from her.

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

And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

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

And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant, where have you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am running away from Sarai, my master's wife.

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

And the angel said to her, Go back, and put yourself under her authority.

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

And the angel of the Lord said, Your seed will be greatly increased so that it may not be numbered.

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

And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.

12 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."

And he will be like a mountain ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him, and he will keep his place against all his brothers.

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

And to the Lord who was talking with her she gave this name, You are a God who is seen; for she said, Have I not even here in the waste land had a vision of God and am still living?

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

So that fountain was named, Fountain of Life and Vision: it is between Kadesh and Bered.

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

And Hagar gave birth to a child, the son of Abram, to whom Abram gave the name of Ishmael.

16 Pada waktu itu Abram berumur delapan puluh enam tahun.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.
