¹Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

¹Saraj pa, žena Abramova, mu ni rodila; a imela je deklo egiptovsko, po imenu Agara.

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.

²Reče torej Saraj Abramu: Glej sedaj, GOSPOD me je zaprl, da ne rodim; pojdi, prosim, k dekli moji, morda dobim otrok iz nje. In Abram je slušal Saraje glas.

³And 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.

³In Saraj, žena Abramova, vzame Agaro, egiptovsko deklo svojo, ko je bilo minilo deset let, odkar je Abram bival v deželi Kanaanski, in jo da Abramu, možu svojemu, za ženo.

⁴And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

⁴In Abram je šel k Agari, in spočela je; in ko je videla, da je spočela, je štela gospodinjo svojo spričo sebe za malo.

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.

⁵Zatorej reče Saraj Abramu: Krivica, meni storjena, pada nate: jaz sem dejala deklo svojo v naročje tvoje; ko je pa videla, da je spočela, me je štela spričo sebe za malo. GOSPOD naj sodi med menoj in teboj!

⁶But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

⁶Abram pa reče Saraji: Glej, dekla tvoja je v roki tvoji, stóri ji, kar se ti zdi dobro. Torej jo je poniževala Saraj, in ona je pobegnila izpred obličja njenega.

⁷And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

⁷A najde jo angel GOSPODOV pri studencu v puščavi, pri tistem studencu, ki je na potu v Sur;

⁸And 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.

⁸ter reče: Agara, dekla Sarajina, odkod si prišla in kam greš? In odgovori: Izpred obličja Saraje, gospodinje svoje, bežim.

⁹And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

⁹In angel GOSPODOV ji veli: Vrni se h gospodinji svoji in ponižaj se pod njeno roko.

¹⁰And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

¹⁰In reče ji angel GOSPODOV: Silno pomnožim seme tvoje, da ga ne bode moči šteti od množine.

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.

¹¹In še ji reče angel GOSPODOV: Glej, ti si noseča, in rodila boš sina; imenuj ga pa Izmaela [T. j. Bog sliši.], zato ker je GOSPOD zaslišal stisko tvojo.

¹²And 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.

¹²On bode človek divjak, roka njegova bo zoper vse in vseh roke zoper njega, in nasproti vsem bratom svojim bo prebival.

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?

¹³Tedaj imenuje Agara ime GOSPODA, ki je ž njo govoril: Ti si Bog mogočni, ki vidiš; dejala je namreč: Tukaj sem res gledala odzadaj njega, ki me je videl.

¹⁴Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

¹⁴Zato se imenuje tisti vodnjak Ber-lahaj-roj [T. j. vodnjak Živega, ki me vidi.], in je med Kadesom in Beredom.

¹⁵And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

¹⁵Rodila je torej Agara Abramu sina; in Abram je imenoval sina svojega, ki ga je Agara rodila, Izmaela.Imel je pa Abram šestinosemdeset let, ko mu je Agara rodila Izmaela.

¹⁶And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.

¹⁶Imel je pa Abram šestinosemdeset let, ko mu je Agara rodila Izmaela.
