Genesis 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had not conceived children. But, having an Egyptian handmaid named Hagar,	1 Sarai, mulher de Abrão, não lhe tinha dado filho; mas, possuindo uma escrava egípcia, chamada Agar,
2 she said to her husband: “Behold, the Lord has closed me, lest I give birth. Enter to my handmaid, so that perhaps I may receive sons of her at least.” And when he agreed to her supplication,	2 disse a Abrão: "Eis que o Senhor me fez estéril; rogo-te que tomes a minha escrava, para ver se, ao menos por ela, eu posso ter filhos." Abrão aceitou a proposta de Sarai.
3 she took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, ten years after they began to live in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to her husband as a wife.	3 Sarai tomou, pois, sua escrava, Agar, a egípcia, passado dez anos que Abrão habitava a terra de Canaã, e deu-a por mulher a Abrão, seu marido.
4 And he entered to her. But when she saw that she had conceived, she despised her mistress.	4 Este aproximou-se de Agar e ela concebeu. Agar, vendo que tinha concebido, começou a desprezar a sua senhora.
5 And Sarai said to Abram: “You have acted unfairly against me. I gave my handmaid into your bosom, who, when she saw that she had conceived, held me in contempt. May the Lord judge between me and you.”	5 Então Sarai disse a Abrão: "Caia sobre ti o ultraje que me é feito! Dei-te minha escrava, e ela, desde que concebeu, olha-me com desprezo. O Senhor seja juiz entre mim e ti!"
6 Abram responded to her by saying, “Behold, your handmaid is in your hand to treat as it pleases you.” And so, when Sarai afflicted her, she took flight.	6 Abrão respondeu-lhe: "Tua escrava está em teu poder, faze dela o que quiseres." E Sarai maltratou-a de tal forma que ela teve de fugir.
7 And when the Angel of the Lord had found her, near the fountain of water in the wilderness, which is on the way to Shur in the desert,	7 O anjo do Senhor, encontrando-a no deserto junto de uma fonte que está no caminho de Sur,
8 he said to her: “Hagar, handmaid of Sarai, where have you come from? And where will you go?” And she answered, “I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.”	8 disse-lhe: "Agar, escrava de Sarai, donde vens? E para onde vais?" "Eu fujo de Sarai, minha senhora", respondeu ela.
9 And the Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand.”	9 "Volta para a tua senhora, tornou o anjo do Senhor, e humilha-te diante dela."
10 And again he said, “I will multiply your offspring continuously, and they will not be numbered because of their multitude.”	10 E ajuntou: "Multiplicarei tua posteridade de tal forma, e será tão numerosa, que não se poderá contar."
11 But thereafter he said: “Behold, you have conceived, and you will give birth to a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your affliction.	11 Disse ainda mais: "Estás grávida, e vais dar à luz um filho: dar-te-ás o nome de Ismael, porque o Senhor te ouviu na tua aflição.
12 He will be a wild man. His hand will be against all, and all hands will be against him. And he will pitch his tents away from the region of all his brothers.”	12 Este menino será como um jumento bravo: sua mão se levantará contra todos e a mão de todos contra ele, e levantará sua tenda defronte de todos os seus irmãos."
13 Then she called upon the name of the Lord who had spoken to her: “You are the God who has seen me.” For she said, “Certainly, here I have seen the back of the one who sees me.”	13 Agar deu ao Senhor, que lhe tinha falado, o nome: Vós sois El-roí, "porque, dizia ela, não vi eu aqui mesmo o Deus que me via?"
14 Because of this, she called that well: ‘The well of the one who lives and who sees me.’ The same is between Kadesh and Bered.	14 E por isso deu-se àquele poço o nome de poço Lahai-roí; ele se encontra entre Cadés e Barad.
15 And Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram, who called his name Ishmael.	15 Agar deu à luz um filho a Abrão, o qual lhe pôs o nome de Ismael.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael for him.	16 Abrão tinha a idade de oitenta e seis anos quando Agar lhe deu à luz Ismael.
