Hagar and Ishmael
1Abram’s wife Sarai had never had any children by him. But she had a female slave from Egypt named Hagar. 2So she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go and sleep with my slave. Maybe I can have a family through her.”
Abram agreed to what Sarai had said. 3His wife Sarai gave him her slave Hagar to be his wife. That was after he had been living in Canaan for ten years. 4Then he slept with Hagar, and she became pregnant.
When Hagar knew she was pregnant, she began to look down on the woman who owned her. 5Then Sarai said to Abram, “It’s your fault that I’m suffering like this. I put my slave in your arms. Now that she knows she’s pregnant, she looks down on me. May the Lord judge between you and me. May he decide which of us is right.”
6“Your slave belongs to you,” Abram said. “Do with her what you think is best.” Then Sarai treated Hagar badly. So Hagar ran away from her.
7The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring of water in the desert. The spring was beside the road to Shur. 8The angel said, “Hagar, you are Sarai’s slave. Where have you come from? Where are you going?”
“I’m running away from my owner Sarai,” she answered.
9Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to the woman who owns you. Obey her.” 10The angel continued, “I will give you and your family many children. There will be more of them than anyone can count.”
11The angel of the Lord also said to her,
“You are now pregnant
and will have a son.
You will name him Ishmael,
because the Lord has heard about your suffering.
12He will be like a wild donkey.
He will use his power against everyone,
and everyone will be against him.
He will not get along with any of his family.”
13She gave a name to the Lord who spoke to her. She called him “You are the God who sees me.” That’s because she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” 14That’s why the well was named Beer Lahai Roi. It’s still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
15So Hagar had a son by Abram and Abram gave him the name Ishmael. 16Abram was 86 years old when Hagar had Ishmael by him.
Si Hagar ug si Ishmael
1Si Sarai nga asawa ni Abram dili makaanak. May sulugoon siya nga babayeng Ehiptohanon nga ginganlag si Hagar. 2Miingon si Sarai kang Abram, “Wala man motugot ang Ginoo nga makaanak ako, maayo pa tingali nga makighilawas ka sa akong sulugoon nga babaye kay basin pa ug makabaton ako ug anak pinaagi kaniya.” Misugot si Abram sa giingon sa iyang asawa. 3Busa gihatag ni Sarai si Hagar kang Abram aron mahimong iyang asawa. (Nahitabo kini human nakapuyo si Abram sa Canaan ug napulo ka tuig.) 4Wala madugay namabdos si Hagar.
Pagkahibalo ni Hagar nga mabdos siya, gibiaybiay niya si Sarai. 5Tungod niini, miingon si Sarai kang Abram, “Gihatag ko si Hagar kanimo apan karon nga mabdos na siya, gibiaybiay na niya ako. Ikaw ang angay basolon niini! Ang Ginoo na ang maghukom kon kinsa kanato ang sad-an.” 6Mitubag si Abram, “Imo siyang sulugoon, busa buhata ang gusto mong buhaton kaniya.” Gikan niadto gilisod-lisod na ni Sarai si Hagar, busa milayas kini.
7Nakita sa anghel sa Ginoo si Hagar didto sa may tuboran sa kamingawan. Kini nga tuboran duol sa dalan paingon sa Shur. 8Nangutana ang anghel kaniya, “Hagar, sulugoon ni Sarai, diin ka gikan ug asa ka paingon?” Mitubag siya, “Milayas ako sa akong agalon nga si Sarai.” 9Miingon ang anghel kaniya, “Balik sa imong agalon ug pagpaubos kaniya.” 10Unya miingon pa gayod ang anghel:
“Padaghanon ko pag-ayo ang imong kaliwat, nga ang ilang gidaghanon dili maihap.
11Mabdos ka ug sa dili madugay manganak ka ug usa ka batang lalaki. Nganli siya ug Ishmael,16:11 Ishmael: Ang buot ipasabot, namati ang Dios. kay gidungog sa Ginoo ang imong pagpakitabang tungod sa imong pag-antos.
12Apan ang imong anak magkinabuhi nga sama sa usa ka ihalas nga asno. Kontrahon niya ang tanan, ug ang tanan mokontra kaniya. Magpuyo siya nga walay kalinaw ug mupahilayo siya sa iyang mga paryente.”
13Gitawag ni Hagar ang Ginoo nga nakigsulti kaniya ug “Dios nga Nakakita,” kay miingon siya, “Nakita ko ba gayod ang Dios nga nakakita kanako ug sa gihapon buhi pa ako?16:13 ug sa gihapon buhi pa ako: o, ug ania pa.” 14Mao kana nga ang tuboran nga anaa sa tunga-tunga sa Kadesh ug Bered gitawag ug Beer Lahai Roi.16:14 Beer Lahai Roi: Ang buot ipasabot, Atabay sa buhi nga Dios nga nakakita kanako.
15Mibalik si Hagar kang Sarai, ug nanganak siya ug batang lalaki. Ginganlan ni Abram ang bata ug Ishmael. 16Nagaedad si Abram ug 86 ka tuig sa dihang natawo si Ishmael.
