1 And Sarai Abram's wife did not bear him {children}. And she had an Egyptian maidservant; and her name was Hagar.

2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has shut me up, that I do not bear. Go in, I pray thee, to my maidservant: it may be that I shall be built up by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of ten years that Abram had dwelt in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram, as his wife.

4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was lightly esteemed in her eyes.

5 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be on thee! I have given my maidservant into thy bosom; and now she sees that she has conceived, I am lightly esteemed in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and thee!

6 And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maidservant is in thy hand: do to her what is good in thine eyes. And Sarai oppressed her; and she fled from her face.

7 And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.

8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maidservant, whence comest thou? and whither art thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.

9 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

10 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath hearkened to thy affliction.

12 And he will be a wild-ass of a man, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell before the face of all his brethren.

13 And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou art the *God who reveals himself, for she said, Also here have I seen after he has revealed himself.

14 Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

1 Ja Saarai, Aabrami naine, ei toonud temale last ilmale; aga tal oli ümmardajaks egiptlanna, nimega Haagar.

2 Ja Saarai ütles Aabramile: „Vaata, Issand on mind keelanud last saamast. Heida nüüd mu ümmardaja juurde, vahest saan järeltulija temalt!" Ja Aabram kuulis Saarai sõna.

3 Ja Saarai, Aabrami naine, võttis egiptlanna Haagari, oma ümmardaja, pärast seda kui Aabram oli kümme aastat elanud Kaananimaal, ja andis ta oma mehele Aabramile naiseks.

4 Ja tema heitis Haagari juurde ja see sai käima peale; aga kui see nägi, et ta oli käima peal, siis oli ta emand tema silmis nagu alam.

5 Ja Saarai ütles Aabramile: „Mulle sündinud ülekohus tulgu sinu peale! Mina andsin oma ümmardaja sinu sülle, aga kui ta nüüd näeb, et ta on käima peal, siis olen mina tema silmis nagu alam. Issand mõistku õigust minu ja sinu vahel!"

6 Aga Aabram ütles Saaraile: „Vaata, su ümmardaja on sinu käes! Talita temaga, nagu sa heaks arvad." Siis Saarai alandas teda, aga seejärel ta põgenes tema juurest.

7 Ja Issanda Ingel leidis tema veeallika juurest kõrbes, Suuri tee ääres oleva allika juurest.

8 Ja Ta ütles: „Haagar, Saarai ümmardaja! Kust sa tuled ja kuhu sa lähed?" Ja tema vastas: „Ma põgenen oma emanda Saarai eest!"

9 Siis ütles Issanda Ingel temale: „Mine tagasi oma emanda juurde ja alanda ennast tema käte alla!"

10 Ja Issanda Ingel ütles temale: „Ma teen sinu soo nõnda arvurikkaks, et see paljuse pärast pole loetav!"

11 Ja Issanda Ingel ütles temale: „Vaata, sa oled käima peal ja tood poja ilmale! Pane temale nimeks Ismael, sest Issand on kuulnud su alandusest!

12 Temast tuleb mees nagu metseesel — tema käsi on igaühe vastu ja igaühe käsi on tema vastu — ta elab vaenus kõigi oma vendadega!"

13 Siis ta nimetas Issandat, Kes temaga oli rääkinud, nimega „Sina oled nähtav Jumal!" Sest ta ütles: „Eks ole minagi siin viimaks näinud Teda, Kes mind näeb?"

14 Seepärast nimetatakse kaevu Lahhai-Roi kaevuks; vaata, see on Kaadesi ja Baaradi vahel.

15 Ja Haagar tõi Aabramile poja ilmale; ja Aabram pani oma pojale, kelle Haagar oli sünnitanud, Ismael nimeks.

16 Ja Aabram oli kaheksakümmend kuus aastat vana, kui Haagar Aabramile Ismaeli ilmale tõi.
