Genesis 16

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Abram's wife Sarai had borne him no child, but she had an Egyptian slave-girl cal ed Hagar.	1 Sarai autem uxor Abram non genuerat ei liberos; sed habens ancillam Aegyptiam nomine Agar,
2 So Sarai said to Abram, 'Listen, now! Since Yahweh has kept me from having children, go to myslave-girl. Perhaps I shal get children through her.' And Abram took Sarai's advice.	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 Thus, after Abram had lived in the land of Canaan for ten years, Sarai took Hagar her Egyptian slave-girl and gave her to Abram as his wife.	3 tulit Agar Aegyptiam ancillam suam post annos decem quam habitare coeperant in terra Chanaan, et dedit eam viro suo uxorem.
4 He went to Hagar and she conceived. And once she knew she had conceived, her mistress countedfor nothing in her eyes.	4 Qui ingressus est ad eam. At illa concepisse se videns despexit dominam suam.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, 'This outrage done to me is your fault! It was I who put my slave-girl intoyour arms but, now she knows that she has conceived, I count for nothing in her eyes. Yahweh judge betweenme and you!'	5 Dixitque Sarai ad Abram: “Inique agis contra me; ego dedi ancillam meam in sinum tuum, quae videns quod conceperit, despectui me habet. Iudicet Dominus inter me et te”.
6 'Very wel ,' Abram said to Sarai, 'your slave-girl is at your disposal. Treat her as you think fit.' Saraiaccordingly treated her so badly that she ran away from her.	6 Cui respondens Abram: “Ecce, ait, ancilla tua in manu tua est; utere ea, ut libet”. Affligente igitur eam Sarai, aufugit ab ea.
7 The angel of Yahweh found her by a spring in the desert, the spring on the road to Shur.	7 Cumque invenisset illam angelus Domini iuxta fontem aquae in deserto, ad fontem in via Sur,
8 He said, 'Hagar, slave-girl of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?' 'I amrunning away from my mistress Sarai,' she replied.	8 dixit: “ Agar, ancilla Sarai, unde venis et quo vadis? ”. Quae respondit: “ A facie Sarai dominae meae ego fugio ”.
9 The angel of Yahweh said to her, 'Go back to your mistress and submit to her.'	9 Dixitque ei angelus Domini: “ Revertere ad dominam tuam et humiliare sub manibus ipsius ”.
10 The angel of Yahweh further said to her, 'I shal make your descendants too numerous to becounted.'	10 Et dixit ei angelus Domini: “ Multiplicans multiplicabo semen tuum, et non numerabitur prae multitudine ”.
11 Then the angel of Yahweh said to her: Now, you have conceived and will bear a son, and you shalname him Ishmael, for Yahweh has heard your cries of distress.	11 Et dixit ei angelus Domini: “ Ecce, concepisti et paries filium vocabisque nomen eius Ismael, eo quod audierit Dominus afflictionem tuam.
12 A wild donkey of a man he wil be, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him,living his life in defiance of al his kinsmen.	12 Hic erit homo onagro similis; manus eius contra omnes, et manus omnium contra eum; et e regione universorum fratrum suorum figet tabernacula ”.
13 Hagar gave a name to Yahweh who had spoken to her, 'You are El Roi,' by which she meant, 'Did Inot go on seeing here, after him 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 This is why the well is cal ed the wel of Lahai Roi; it is between Kadesh and Bered.	14 Propterea appellatur puteus ille Lahairoi (id est Viventis et Videntis me); ipse est inter Cades et Barad.
15 Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave his son borne by Hagar the name Ishmael.	15 Peperitque Agar Abrae filium; qui vocavit nomen filii sui, quem pepererat Agar, Ismael.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.	16 Octoginta et sex annorum erat Abram, quando peperit ei Agar Ismaelem.
