1 Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. 2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. 3 And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4 ¶ And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. 5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee. 6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
7 ¶ And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. 8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. 9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. 11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. 12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. 13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? 14 Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 ¶ And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael. 16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
1 Bet Sāra, Ābrāma sieva, tam nebija dzemdējusi, un tai bija kalpone no Ēģiptes, tās vārds bija Hagara.
2 Un Sāra teica Ābramam: „Redzi, tas Kungs man nav devis iespēju dzemdēt, ej pie manas kalpones, varbūt no viņas man tiks doti pēcnācēji?“ Un Ābrāms paklausīja Sāras balsij.
3 Un Sāra, Ābrāma sieva, paņēma ēģiptieti Hagaru, savu kalponi, un deva to Ābrāmam par sievu pēc tam, kad tas desmit gadus bija nodzīvojis Kānaānas zemē.
4 Un viņš gāja pie Hagaras, un tā tapa grūta. Un kad tā redzēja, ka tā ir grūtniece, tad viņas kundze tai likās nicināma.
5 Tad Sāra sacīja Ābrāmam: „Netaisnība, kāda man notikusi, lai nāk pār tevi; es esmu devusi savu kalponi tavā klēpī, bet kad tā redzēja, ka ir grūta, es kļuvu nicināma viņas acīs; lai tas Kungs ir tiesnesis starp mani un tevi.“
6 Tad Ābrāms teica Sārai: „Redzi, tava kalpone šeit ir tavās rokās, dari viņai, kas tavām acīm labpatīk.“
7 Tad Sāra viņu pazemoja. Bet viņa aizbēga prom no tās. Bet tā Kunga eņģelis to atrada pie ūdens avota tuksnesī, pie avota ceļā uz Sūru.
8 Un viņš teica Hagarai, Sāras kalponei: „No kurienes tu nāc, un kurp tu ej?“ Bet tā atbildēja: „No savas valdnieces Sāras es esmu bēgusi.“
9 Un tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja viņai: „Atgriezies pie savas valdnieces un pazemojies zem tās rokas.“
10 Un tā Kunga eņģelis teica tai: „Es vairodams vairošu tavus pēcnācējus, un tu viņus vairuma dēļ nesaskaitīsi.“
11 Un tā Kunga eņģelis teica tai: „Redzi, tu esi grūta, un tu dzemdēsi dēlu, un tev būs saukt viņa vārdu—Ismaēls , jo tas Kungs tevi ir uzklausījis tavās bēdās.
12 Viņš būs savvaļas vīrs; viņa roka būs pret katru, un ikviena roka būs pret viņu, un viņš nevienam savu brāļu starpā negriezīs ceļu.“
13 Un viņa nosauca tā Kunga vārdu, kas bija runājis uz viņu: „Tu esi manas parādības Dievs,“ io viņa teica: „Vai tad es neesmu Viņu redzējusi, kas mani redz!“
14 Tāpēc šo avotu sauc „Beer la kaj roi.“ Tas ir starp Kadešu un Baradu.
15 Un Hagara dzemdēja Ābrāmam dēlu, un Ābrāms nosauca savu dēlu, ko Hagara bija dzemdējusi, vārdā Ismaēls.
16 Bet Ābrāmam bija astoņdesmit seši gadi, kad Hagara dzemdēja Ābrāmam Ismaēlu.
