Ismaēla dzimšana
1 Sāraja, Ābrama sieva, nevarēja viņam dzemdēt, bet viņai bija ēģiptiešu kalpone, vārdā Hāgare. 2 Un Sāraja teica Ābramam: “Redzi, nu! Kungs man liedzis dzemdēt! Ej taču pie manas kalpones, varbūt es varu dabūt bērnu no viņas!” Un Ābrams paklausīja Sāraju. 3 Sāraja, Ābrama sieva, ņēma savu kalponi ēģiptieti Hāgari – pēc tam kad Ābrams desmit gadus bija dzīvojis Kanaānas zemē –, un viņa deva to savam vīram Ābramam par sievu. 4 Un viņš gāja pie Hāgares, un viņa tapa grūta. Kad viņa redzēja, ka tapusi grūta, viņas kundze tai šķita nevērta. 5 Un Sāraja teica Ābramam: “Tu man esi nodarījis pārestību – es devu savu kalponi starp taviem gurniem, un, kad viņa redzēja, ka ir grūta, tad es viņai kļuvu nevērta! Lai iztiesā Kungs starp mani un tevi!” 6 Un Ābrams teica Sārajai: “Še tava kalpone tavā rokā, dari viņai, kā tev tīk!” Sāraja viņu pazemoja, un tā no viņas aizbēga. 7 Bet Kunga eņģelis viņu atrada pie ūdens avota tuksnesī ceļā uz Šūru. 8 Un viņš teica: “Hāgare, Sārajas kalpone, no kurienes tu nāc un kurp tu ej?” Viņa teica: “Es bēgu no savas kundzes Sārajas!” 9 Kunga eņģelis viņai teica: “Ej atpakaļ pie savas kundzes un pakļaujies viņai!” 10 Un Kunga eņģelis viņai teica: “Vairot es vairošu tavus pēcnācējus, un viņus nevarēs saskaitīt – tik daudz to būs!” 11 Un Kunga eņģelis viņai teica:
“Redzi, tu esi grūta, un tu dzemdēsi dēlu,
un tu nosauksi viņu vārdā Ismaēls ,
jo Kungs tavas ciešanas uzklausījis!
12 Un viņš būs cilvēks kā mežēzelis!
Viņa roka – pret visiem, un visu roka pret viņu,
un visiem saviem brāļiem viņš iepretī mitīs!”
13 Un Kungu, kas uz viņu bija runājis, viņa nosauca vārdā: tu – mana redzējuma Dievs, jo viņa teica: “Vai tad ne šeit es redzēju to, kas redz mani?” 14 Tādēļ to aku nosauca par Beēr-Lahaj-Roī , redzi, tā ir starp Kādēšu un Beredu.
15 Un Hāgare dzemdēja Ābramam dēlu, un Ābrams savu dēlu, kuru viņam bija dzemdējusi Hāgare, nosauca vārdā Ismaēls. 16 Kad Hāgare dzemdēja Ābramam Ismaēlu, Ābrams bija astoņdesmit sešus gadus vecs.
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.
