Genesis 16

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Igitur Sarai, uxor Abram, non genuerat liberos : sed habens ancillam ægyptiam nomine Agar,	1 Abram's wife Sarai had borne him no children. She had, however, an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.
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,	2 Sarai said to Abram: "The LORD has kept me from bearing children. Have intercourse, then, with my maid; perhaps I shall have sons through her." Abram heeded Sarai's request.
3 tulit Agar ægyptiam ancillam suam post annos decem quam habitare c?perant in terra Chanaan : et dedit eam viro suo uxorem.	3 Thus, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, his wife Sarai took her maid, Hagar the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his concubine.
4 Qui ingressus est ad eam. At illa concepisse se videns, despexit dominam suam.	4 He had intercourse with her, and she became pregnant. When she became aware of her pregnancy, she looked on her mistress with disdain.
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.	5 So Sarai said to Abram: "You are responsible for this outrage against me. I myself gave my maid to your embrace; but ever since she became aware of her pregnancy, she has been looking on me with disdain. May the LORD decide between you and me!"
6 Cui respondens Abram : Ecce, ait, ancilla tua in manu tua est, utere ea ut libet. Affligente igitur eam Sarai, fugam iniit.	6 Abram told Sarai: "Your maid is in your power. Do to her whatever you please." Sarai then abused her so much that Hagar ran away from her.
7 Cumque invenisset eam angelus Domini juxta fontem aquæ in solitudine, qui est in via Sur in deserto,	7 The LORD'S messenger found her by a spring in the wilderness, the spring on the road to Shur,
8 dixit ad illam : Agar ancilla Sarai, unde venis ? et quo vadis ? Quæ respondit : A facie Sarai dominæ meæ ego fugio.	8 and he asked, "Hagar, maid of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?" She answered, "I am running away from my mistress, Sarai."
9 Dixitque ei angelus Domini : Revertere ad dominam tuam, et humiliare sub manu illius.	9 But the LORD'S messenger told her: "Go back to your mistress and submit to her abusive treatment.
10 Et rursum : Multiplicans, inquit, multiplicabo semen tuum, et non numerabitur præ multitudine.	10 I will make your descendants so numerous," added the LORD'S messenger, "that they will be too many to count.
11 Ac deinceps : Ecce, ait, concepisti, et paries filium : vocabisque nomen ejus Ismaël, eo quod audierit Dominus afflictionem tuam.	11 Besides," the LORD'S messenger said to her: "You are now pregnant and shall bear a son; you shall name him Ishmael, For the LORD has heard you, God has answered you.
12 Hic erit ferus homo : manus ejus contra omnes, et manus omnium contra eum : et e regione universorum fratrum suorum figet tabernacula.	12 He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against everyone, and everyone's hand against him; In opposition to all his kin shall he encamp."
13 Vocavit autem nomen Domini qui loquebatur ad eam : Tu Deus qui vidisti me. Dixit enim : Profecto hic vidi posteriora videntis me.	13 To the LORD who spoke to her she gave a name, saying, "You are the God of Vision"; she meant, "Have I really seen God and remained alive after my vision?"
14 Propterea appellavit puteum illum Puteum viventis et videntis me. Ipse est inter Cades et Barad.	14 That is why the well is called Beer-lahai-roi. It is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Peperitque Agar Abræ filium : qui vocavit nomen ejus Ismaël.	15 Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram named the son whom Hagar bore him Ishmael.
16 Octoginta et sex annorum erat Abram quando peperit ei Agar Ismaëlem.	16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
