| 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, | Σάρα δὲ ἡ γυνὴ Ἅβραμ οὐκ ἔτικτεν αὐτῷ· ἦν δὲ αὐτῇ παιδίσκη Αἰγυπτία, ᾗ ὄνομα Ἄγαρ. |
| 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, | Εἶπε δὲ Σάρα πρὸς Ἅβραμ, ἰδοὺ συνέκλεισέ με Κύριος τοῦ μὴ τίκτειν· εἴσελθε οὖν πρὸς τὴν παιδίσκην μου, ἵνα τεκνοποιήσωμαι ἐξ αὐτῆς· ὑπήκουσελ δὲ Ἅβραμ τῆς φωνῆς Σάρας. |
| 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. | Καὶ λαβοῦσα Σάρα ἡ γυνὴ Ἅβραμ Ἄγαρ τὴν Αἰγυπτίαν τὴν ἑαυτῆς παιδίσκην, μετὰ δέκα ἔτη τοῦ οἰκῆσαι Ἅβραμ ἐν γῇ Χαναὰν, ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ἅβραμ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς αὐτῷ γυναῖκα. |
| 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. | Καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς Ἄγαρ, καὶ συνέλαβε· καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχει, καὶ ἠτιμάσθη ἡ κυρία ἐναντίον αὐτῆς. |
| 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. | Εἶπε δὲ Σάρα πρὸς Ἅβραμ, ἀδικοῦμαι ἐκ σοῦ· ἐγὼ δέδωκα τὴν παιδίσκην μου εἰς τὸν κόλπον σου, ἰδοῦσα δὲ ὅτι ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχει, ἠτιμάσθην ἐναντίον αὐτῆς. κρίναι ὁ Θεὸς ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σου. |
| 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. | Εἶπε δὲ Ἅβραμ πρὸς Σάραν, ἰδοὺ ἡ παιδίσκη σου ἐν ταῖς χερσί σου, χρῶ αὐτῇ ὡς ἄν σοι ἀρεστὸν ᾖ. καὶ ἐκάκωσεν αὐτὴν Σάρα, καὶ ἀπέδρα ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῆς. |
| 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, | Εὗρε δὲ αὐτὴν ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Σούρ. |
| 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. | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου, Ἄγαρ παιδίσκη Σάρας, πόθεν ἔρχῃ; καὶ ποῦ πορεύῃ; καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπὸ προσώπου Σάρας τῆς κυρίας μου ἐγὼ ἀποδιδράσκω. |
| 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. | Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου, ἀποστράφηθι πρὸς τὴν κυρίαν σου, καὶ ταπεινώθητι ὑπὸ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς. |
| 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. | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου, πληθύνων πληθυνῶ τὸ σπέρμα σου, καὶ οὐκ ἀριθμηθήσεται ὑπὸ τοῦ πλήθους. |
| 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. | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου, ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχεις, καὶ τέξῃ υἱὸν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσμαὴλ, ὅτι ἐπήκουσε Κύριος τῇ ταπεινώσει σου. |
| 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. | Οὗτος ἔσται ἄγροικος ἄνθρωπος· αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντας, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες πάντων ἐπʼ αὐτόν· καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ κατοικήσει. |
| 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. | Καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου τοῦ λαλοῦντος πρὸς αὐτὴν, σὺ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἐτιδών με· ὅτι εἶπε, καὶ γὰρ ἐνώπιον εἶδον ὀφθέντα μοι. |
| 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. | Ἕνεκεν τούτου ἐκάλεσε τὸ φρέαρ, φρέαρ οὗ ἐνώπιον εἶδον· ἰδοὺ ἀνὰ μέσον Κάδης καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Βαράδ. |
| 15 | And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael. | Peperitque Agar Abrae filium: qui vocavit nomen eius Ismaël. | Καὶ ἔτεκεν Ἄγαρ τῷ Ἅβραμ υἱὸν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἅβραμ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Ἄγαρ, Ἰσμαήλ. |
| 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. | Ἅβραμ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ὀγδοηκονταὲξ, ἡνίκα ἔτεκεν Ἄγαρ τῷ Ἅβραμ τὸν Ἰσμαήλ. |
