Genesis 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had not conceived children. But, having an Egyptian handmaid named Hagar,	1 Igitur Sarai, uxor Abram, non genuerat liberos : sed habens ancillam ægyptiam nomine 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 dixit marito suo : Ecce, conclusit me Dominus, ne parerem. Ingredere ad ancillam meam, si forte saltem ex illa suscipiam filios. Cumque ille acquiesceret deprecanti,
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 tulit Agar ægyptiam ancillam suam post annos decem quam habitare c?perant in terra Chanaan : et dedit eam viro suo uxorem.
4 And he entered to her. But when she saw that she had conceived, she despised her mistress.	4 Qui ingressus est ad eam. At illa concepisse se videns, despexit dominam suam.
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 Dixitque Sarai ad Abram : Inique agis contra me : ego dedi ancillam meam in sinum tuum, quæ videns quod conceperit, despectui me habet : judicet Dominus inter me et te.
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 Cui respondens Abram : Ecce, ait, ancilla tua in manu tua est, utere ea ut libet. Affligente igitur eam Sarai, fugam iniit.
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 Cumque invenisset eam angelus Domini juxta fontem aquæ in solitudine, qui est in via Sur in deserto,
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 dixit ad illam : Agar ancilla Sarai, unde venis ? et quo vadis ? Quæ respondit : A facie Sarai dominæ meæ ego fugio.
9 And the Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand.”	9 Dixitque ei angelus Domini : Revertere ad dominam tuam, et humiliare sub manu illius.
10 And again he said, “I will multiply your offspring continuously, and they will not be numbered because of their multitude.”	10 Et rursum : Multiplicans, inquit, multiplicabo semen tuum, et non numerabitur præ multitudine.
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 Ac deinceps : Ecce, ait, concepisti, et paries filium : vocabisque nomen ejus Ismaël, eo quod audierit Dominus afflictionem tuam.
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 Hic erit ferus homo : manus ejus contra omnes, et manus omnium contra eum : et e regione universorum fratrum suorum figet tabernacula.
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 Vocavit autem nomen Domini qui loquebatur ad eam : Tu Deus qui vidisti me. Dixit enim : Profecto hic vidi posteriora videntis me.
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 Propterea appellavit puteum illum Puteum viventis et videntis me. Ipse est inter Cades et Barad.
15 And Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram, who called his name Ishmael.	15 Peperitque Agar Abræ filium : qui vocavit nomen ejus Ismaël.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael for him.	16 Octoginta et sex annorum erat Abram quando peperit ei Agar Ismaëlem.
