| 1 | Now Sarai the wife of Abram, had brought forth no children; but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar, | Igitur Sarai, uxor Abram, non genuerat liberos: sed habens ancillam aegyptiam nomine Agar, |
| 2 | She said to her husband: Behold, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in unto my handmaid, it may be I may have children of her at least. And when he agreed to her request, | 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 Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, ten years after they first dwelt in the land of Chanaan, and gave her to her husband to wife. | tulit Agar aegyptiam ancillam suam post annos decem quam habitare coeperant in terra Chanaan: et dedit eam viro suo uxorem. |
| 4 | And he went in to her. But she, perceiving that she was with child, despised her mistress. | Qui ingressus est ad eam. At illa concepisse se videns, despexit dominam suam. |
| 5 | And Sarai said to Abram: Thou dost unjustly with me: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and she perceiving herself to be with child, despiseth me. The Lord judge between me and thee. | 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 | And Abram made answer, and said to her: Behold thy handmaid is in thy own hand, use her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai afflicted her, she ran away. | Cui respondens Abram: Ecce, ait, ancilla tua in manu tua est, utere ea ut libet. Affligente igitur eam Sarai, fugam iniit. |
| 7 | And the angel of the Lord having found her, by a fountain of water in the wilderness, which is in the way to Sur in the desert, | Cumque invenisset eam angelus Domini iuxta fontem aquae in solitudine, qui est in via Sur in deserto, |
| 8 | He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she answered: I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress. | dixit ad illam: Agar ancilla Sarai, unde venis? et quo vadis? Quae respondit: A facie Sarai dominae meae ego fugio. |
| 9 | And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand. | Dixitque ei angelus Domini: Revertere ad dominam tuam, et humiliare sub manu illius. |
| 10 | And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude. | Et rursum: Multiplicans, inquit, multiplicabo semen tuum, et non numerabitur prae multitudine. |
| 11 | And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. | Ac deinceps: Ecce, ait, concepisti, et paries filium: vocabisque nomen eius Ismaël, eo quod audierit Dominus afflictionem tuam. |
| 12 | He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren. | Hic erit ferus homo: manus eius contra omnes, et manus omnium contra eum: et e regione universorum fratrum suorum figet tabernacula. |
| 13 | And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her: Thou the God who hast seen me. For she said: Verily here have I seen the hinder parts of him that seeth me. | Vocavit autem nomen Domini qui loquebatur ad eam: Tu Deus qui vidisti me. Dixit enim: Profecto hic vidi posteriora videntis me. |
| 14 | Therefore she called that well, The well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad. | Propterea appellavit puteum illum Puteum viventis et videntis me. Ipse est inter Cades et Barad. |
| 15 | And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael. | Peperitque Agar Abrae filium: qui vocavit nomen eius Ismaël. |
| 16 | Abram was four score and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael. | Octoginta et sex annorum erat Abram quando peperit ei Agar Ismaëlem. |
