Kniha Genezis

1 (KAT) Abramova žena Sarai neporodila mu dieťa. Mala však ona aj egyptskú slúžku menom Agar.
1 (KJV) Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

2 (KAT) Sarai povedala Abramovi: „Pozri, Pán ma uzavrel, že nemôžem porodiť. Vojdi teda k mojej slúžke! Možno, že aspoň z nej dostanem synov.“ Abram počúvol jej radu.
2 (KJV) And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

3 (KAT) I vzala Abramova žena Sarai svoju služobnicu, Egypťanku Agar - Abram vtedy býval už desať rokov v kanaánskej krajine -, a dala ju za ženu svojmu mužovi Abramovi.
3 (KJV) And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

4 (KAT) On k nej vošiel a ona počala. Keď však spozorovala, že počala, s opovrhnutím sa dívala na svoju paniu.
4 (KJV) And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

5 (KAT) Vtedy povedala Sarai Abramovi: „Na mojej krivde máš aj ty účasť. Ja sama som dala svoju slúžku do tvojho lona a teraz, keď vidí, že počala, pozerá na mňa s opovrhnutím. Nech Pán súdi medzi mnou a tebou!“
5 (KJV) And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

6 (KAT) Abram odvetil Sarai: „Veď je tvoja slúžka v tvojej moci! Nalož s ňou, ako uznáš za dobré!“ Sarai však s ňou nakladala tvrdo, takže ona od nej utiekla.
6 (KJV) But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

7 (KAT) Pánov anjel ju však našiel pri prameni vody na púšti, na ceste do Suru,
7 (KJV) And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

8 (KAT) a povedal jej: „Odkiaľ ideš, Agar, Saraina slúžka, a kam sa uberáš?“ A ona odpovedala: „Utekám pred svojou paňou Sarai.“
8 (KJV) And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

9 (KAT) Tu jej Pánov anjel povedal: „Vráť sa k svojej panej a podrob sa jej moci!“
9 (KJV) And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

10 (KAT) A Pánov anjel jej hovoril ďalej: „Tak veľmi rozmnožím tvoje potomstvo, že sa pre množstvo nedá ani spočítať.“
10 (KJV) And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 (KAT) A ešte jej Pánov anjel hovoril: „Hľa, počala si a porodíš syna, a nazveš ho menom Izmael, lebo Pán vypočul tvoje vzdychy;
11 (KJV) And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

12 (KAT) bude to človek ako divý osol, jeho ruka bude proti všetkým a ruky všetkých proti nemu a bude bývať nablízku všetkých svojich bratov.“
12 (KJV) And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

13 (KAT) Potom nazvala Pána, ktorý k nej hovoril: „Ty si Boh, ktorý si ma videl, lebo“ - povedala - „či som azda nevidela toho, ktorý sa na mňa díval?“
13 (KJV) And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

14 (KAT) Preto studňu nazvala studňou Lachaj roi (studňa Živého, ktorý ma vidí). To je tá medzi Kádešom a Baradom.
14 (KJV) Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 (KAT) Potom Agar porodila Abramovi syna a Abram nazval syna, ktorého mu porodila Agar, Izmael.
15 (KJV) And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

16 (KAT) Abram mal osemdesiatšesť rokov, keď mu Agar porodila Izmaela.
16 (KJV) And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
