Genesis 16

Catholic Public Domain Bible	Ave Maria
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: darás a ele 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 Cades 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.
