1Or Sarai, moglie di Abramo, non gli aveva dato figli. Aveva una serva egiziana di nome Agar.2Sarai disse ad Abramo: «Ecco, il Signore mi ha fatta sterile; ti prego, va’ dalla mia serva; forse avrò figli da lei». E Abramo diede ascolto alla voce di Sarai.3Così, dopo dieci anni di residenza di Abramo nel paese di Canaan, Sarai, moglie di Abramo, prese la sua serva Agar, l’Egiziana, e la diede per moglie ad Abramo suo marito.4Egli andò da Agar, che rimase incinta; e quando si accorse di essere incinta, guardò la sua padrona con disprezzo.5Sarai disse ad Abramo: «L’offesa fatta a me ricada su di te! Io ti ho dato la mia serva in seno e, da quando si è accorta di essere incinta, mi guarda con disprezzo. Il Signore sia giudice fra me e te».6Abramo rispose a Sarai: «Ecco, la tua serva è in tuo potere; falle ciò che vuoi». Sarai la trattò duramente e quella se ne fuggì da lei.7L’angelo del Signore la trovò presso una sorgente d’acqua, nel deserto, presso la sorgente che è sulla via di Sur,8e le disse: «Agar, serva di Sarai, da dove vieni e dove vai?» Lei rispose: «Fuggo dalla presenza di Sarai, mia padrona».9L’angelo del Signore le disse: «Torna dalla tua padrona e umiliati sotto la sua mano».10L’angelo del Signore soggiunse: «Io moltiplicherò grandemente la tua discendenza e non la si potrà contare, tanto sarà numerosa».11L’angelo del Signore le disse ancora: «Ecco, tu sei incinta e partorirai un figlio al quale porrai nome Ismaele[1], perché il Signore ti ha udita nella tua afflizione;12egli sarà tra gli uomini come un asino selvatico; la sua mano sarà contro tutti, e la mano di tutti contro di lui; e abiterà di fronte a tutti i suoi fratelli».13Allora Agar diede al Signore, che le aveva parlato, il nome di Atta-El-Roi[2], perché disse: «Ho io, proprio qui, veduto andarsene colui che mi ha vista?»14Perciò quel pozzo fu chiamato il pozzo di Lacai-Roi[3]. Ecco, esso è tra Cades e Bered.15Agar partorì un figlio ad Abramo. Al figlio che Agar gli aveva partorito Abramo mise il nome d’Ismaele.16Abramo aveva ottantasei anni quando Agar gli partorì Ismaele.
1Und Sarai, Abrams Frau, gebar ihm keine ⟨Kinder⟩. Sie hatte aber eine ägyptische Magd, deren Name war Hagar. (Gen 12,16; At 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. (Gen 11,30; Gen 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. (Gen 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! (Gen 31,53; Giudic 11,27; 1Sam 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. (Gen 20,1; Gen 25,18; 1Sam 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. (Gen 21,17; Giudic 19,17; 1Re 19,9; 2Re 5,25)9Da sprach der Engel des HERRN zu ihr: Kehre zu deiner Herrin zurück, und demütige dich unter ihre Hände! (1P 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. (Gen 17,20; Gen 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. (Gen 17,19; Gen 21,17; Mat 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. (Gen 25,18; Giob 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] (Gen 32,31)14Darum nennt man den Brunnen: Beer-Lachai-Roï[7]; siehe, er ist zwischen Kadesch und Bered. (Gen 24,62; Gen 25,11)15Und Hagar gebar dem Abram einen Sohn; und Abram gab seinem Sohn, den Hagar geboren hatte, den Namen Ismael. (Gen 21,9; Gen 25,12; 1Cr 1,28; Ga 4,22)16Und Abram war 86 Jahre alt, als Hagar dem Abram Ismael gebar. (Gen 21,5)
1Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. She had a female Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar. (Gen 15,2; Gen 21,9; Ga 4,24)2And Sarai said to Abram, “Behold now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Go in to my servant; it may be that I shall obtain children[1] by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.3So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife. (Gen 12,5)4And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.[2] (1Sam 1,6)5And Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the Lord judge between you and me!” (Gen 31,53; 1Sam 24,12)6But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your servant is in your power; do to her as you please.” Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.7The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. (Gen 25,18; Eso 15,22)8And he said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai.”9The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her.”10The angel of the Lord also said to her, “I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude.” (Gen 17,20; Gen 21,18; Gen 25,12)11And the angel of the Lord said to her, “Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael,[3] because the Lord has listened to your affliction. (Gen 29,32)12He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.” (Gen 21,20; Gen 25,18; Giob 39,5)13So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,”[4] for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.”[5] (Gen 32,30; Eso 19,21; Eso 33,20; Giudic 13,22)14Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi;[6] it lies between Kadesh and Bered. (Gen 14,7; Gen 20,1; Gen 24,62; Gen 25,11; Nu 13,26)15And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.16Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

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.
