Liber Genesis

Igitur Sarai, uxor Abram, non genuerat liberos: sed habens ancillam ægyptiam nomine Agar,

Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had brought forth no children: but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar,

Ergo Sarao, uxore Abra, non gene liberis: sed habente ancilla aegyptia nomine Agare,

dixit marito suo: Ecce, conclusit me Dominus, ne parerem. Ingredere ad ancillam meam, si forte saltem ex illa suscipiam filios. Cumque ille acquiesceret deprecanti,

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,

Dic ad marito suo: ecce, Domino conclude me, ne pare. Ingredior ad ancilla meo, si forte salte ex illa suscipe filios. Cumque illo acquiesce depreca,

tulit Agar ægyptiam ancillam suam post annos decem quam habitare cœperant in terra Chanaan: et dedit eam viro suo uxorem.

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.

Agare aegyptia ancilla suo fer post annos deceme quam habita incipe in terra Chanaane: et da illa ad viro suo uxore.

Qui ingressus est ad eam. At illa concepisse se videns, despexit dominam suam.

And he went in to her. But she perceiving that she was with child, despised her mistress.

Qui ingredior es ad illa. Sed illa concipe se vidente, despice domino suo.

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.

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.

Et Sarao dic ad Abra: inique age contra me: me da ancilla meo in sinu tuo, que vidente concipe quod, ad despectu me habe: Domino iudica inter me et te.

Cui respondens Abram: Ecce, ait, ancilla tua in manu tua est, utere ea ut libet. Affligente igitur eam Sarai, fugam iniit.

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.

Ad que respondente Abra: ecce, ancilla, tuo dic in manu tuo es, ute illa ut libet. Afflige ergo illa Sarao, fuga intra.

Cumque invenisset eam angelus Domini juxta fontem aquæ in solitudine, qui est in via Sur in deserto,

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 angelo de Domino juxta fonte aqua inveni illa in solitudine, qui es in via Sura in deserto,

dixit ad illam: Agar ancilla Sarai, unde venis? et quo vadis? Quæ respondit: A facie Sarai dominæ meæ ego fugio.

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.

Dic ad illa: agare ancilla Sarao, unde veni? Et quo vade? Que responde: ab facie Sarao de domino meo me fuge.

Dixitque ei angelus Domini: Revertere ad dominam tuam, et humiliare sub manu illius.

And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand.

Et angelo ad illo de Domino dic: reverte ad domino tuo, et humilia sub manu de illo.

Et rursum: Multiplicans, inquit, multiplicabo semen tuum, et non numerabitur præ multitudine.

And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.

Et iterum: multiplica, dic, multiplica semine tuo, et non numera prae multitudine.

Ac deinceps: Ecce, ait, concepisti, et paries filium: vocabisque nomen ejus Ismaël, eo quod audierit Dominus afflictionem tuam.

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.

Et deinceps: ecce, dic, concipe, et pariete filio: et voca nomine de illo Ismaële, eo quod Domino audi afflictione tuo.

Hic erit ferus homo: manus ejus contra omnes, et manus omnium contra eum: et e regione universorum fratrum suorum figet tabernacula.

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.

Hoc es fero homine: manus de illo contra omni, et manus de omni contra illo: et ex regione universa de fratres suo fixe tabernaculos.

Vocavit autem nomen Domini qui loquebatur ad eam: Tu Deus qui vidisti me. Dixit enim: Profecto hic vidi posteriora videntis me.

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.

Voca autem nomine de Domino qui loque ad illa: te Deo qui vide me. Dic nam: profecto hoc vide posterio vide me.

Propterea appellavit puteum illum Puteum viventis et videntis me. Ipse est inter Cades et Barad.

Therefore she called that well, the well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad.

Propter hoc appella puteo illo Puteo vive et vide me. Ipso es inter Cades et Barade.

Peperitque Agar Abræ filium: qui vocavit nomen ejus Ismaël.

And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael.

Et pare Agare de Abrah filio: qui voca nomine de illo Ismaële.

Octoginta et sex annorum erat Abram quando peperit ei Agar Ismaëlem.

Abram was four score and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael.

Octoginta et sexu de anno es Abra quando Agare ad illo Ismaële pare.
