1Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar;2so she said to Abram, ‘The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.’ Abram agreed to what Sarai said.3So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife.4He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.5Then Sarai said to Abram, ‘You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.’6‘Your slave is in your hands,’ Abram said. ‘Do with her whatever you think best.’ Then Sarai ill-treated Hagar; so she fled from her.7The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.8And he said, ‘Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?’ ‘I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,’ she answered.9Then the angel of the Lord told her, ‘Go back to your mistress and submit to her.’10The angel added, ‘I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.’11The angel of the Lord also said to her: ‘You are now pregnant and you will give birth to a son. You shall name him Ishmael,[1] for the Lord has heard of your misery.12He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility towards[2] all his brothers.’13She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: ‘You are the God who sees me,’ for she said, ‘I have now seen[3] the One who sees me.’14That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi[4]; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.15So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.16Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
Genesis 16
King James Version
1Now Sarai Abram' wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.2And 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.3And Sarai Abram' 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.4And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.5And 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.6But 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.7And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.8And he said, Hagar, Sarai' maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.9And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.10And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.11And 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.12And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man' hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.13And 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?14Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.15And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son' name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.16And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
1Und Sarai, Abrams Frau, gebar ihm keine ⟨Kinder⟩. Sie hatte aber eine ägyptische Magd, deren Name war Hagar. (Ge 12:16; Ac 7:5)2Und Sarai sagte zu Abram: Siehe doch, der HERR hat mich verschlossen, dass ich nicht gebäre. Geh doch zu meiner Magd ein! Vielleicht werde ich aus ihr erbaut werden[1]. Und Abram hörte auf Sarais Stimme. (Ge 11:30; Ge 30:3)3Da nahm Sarai, Abrams Frau, ihre Magd, die Ägypterin Hagar, nachdem Abram zehn Jahre im Land Kanaan gewohnt hatte, und gab sie Abram, ihrem Mann, ihm zur Frau. (Ge 30:4)4Und er ging zu Hagar ein, und sie wurde schwanger. Als sie aber sah, dass sie schwanger war, da wurde ihre Herrin gering in ihren Augen.5Und Sarai sagte zu Abram: Das Unrecht an mir[2] ⟨liegt⟩ auf dir! Ich selbst habe meine Magd in deinen Schoß gegeben; und ⟨nun,⟩ da sie sieht, dass sie schwanger ist, bin ich gering in ihren Augen. Der HERR richte zwischen mir und dir! (Ge 31:53; Jud 11:27; 1Sa 24:13)6Und Abram sagte zu Sarai: Siehe, deine Magd ist in deiner Hand. Mache mit ihr, was gut ist in deinen Augen! Als Sarai sie aber demütigte[3], da floh sie vor ihr.7Und der Engel des HERRN fand sie an einer Wasserquelle in der Wüste, an der Quelle auf dem Weg nach Schur. (Ge 20:1; Ge 25:18; 1Sa 15:7)8Und er sprach: Hagar, Magd Sarais, woher kommst du, und wohin gehst du? Und sie sagte: Vor Sarai, meiner Herrin, bin ich auf der Flucht. (Ge 21:17; Jud 19:17; 1Ki 19:9; 2Ki 5:25)9Da sprach der Engel des HERRN zu ihr: Kehre zu deiner Herrin zurück, und demütige dich unter ihre Hände! (1Pe 2:18)10Und der Engel des HERRN sprach zu ihr: Ich will deine Nachkommen so sehr mehren, dass man sie nicht zählen kann vor Menge. (Ge 17:20; Ge 21:13)11Und der Engel des HERRN sprach ⟨weiter⟩ zu ihr: Siehe, du bist schwanger und wirst einen Sohn gebären; dem sollst du den Namen Ismael[4] geben, denn der HERR hat auf dein Elend gehört. (Ge 17:19; Ge 21:17; Mt 1:21; Lu 1:13)12Und er, er wird ein Mensch ⟨wie⟩ ein Wildesel sein; seine Hand gegen alle und die Hand aller gegen ihn, und allen seinen Brüdern setzt er sich vors Gesicht. (Ge 25:18; Job 39:5)13Da nannte sie den Namen des HERRN, der zu ihr geredet hatte: Du bist ein Gott, der mich sieht[5]! Denn sie sagte: Habe ich nicht auch hier hinter dem hergesehen, der mich angesehen hat?[6] (Ge 32:31)14Darum nennt man den Brunnen: Beer-Lachai-Roï[7]; siehe, er ist zwischen Kadesch und Bered. (Ge 24:62; Ge 25:11)15Und Hagar gebar dem Abram einen Sohn; und Abram gab seinem Sohn, den Hagar geboren hatte, den Namen Ismael. (Ge 21:9; Ge 25:12; 1Ch 1:28; Ga 4:22)16Und Abram war 86 Jahre alt, als Hagar dem Abram Ismael gebar. (Ge 21:5)
