Genesis 16:9-16 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

9. And the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Turn back unto thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hands;'

10. and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Multiplying I multiply thy seed, and it is not numbered from multitude;'

11. and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Behold thou [art] conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine affliction;

12. and he is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and every one's hand against him--and before the face of all his brethren he dwelleth.'

13. And she calleth the name of Jehovah who is speaking unto her, `Thou [art], O God, my beholder;' for she said, `Even here have I looked behind my beholder?'

14. therefore hath one called the well, `The well of the Living One, my beholder;' lo, between Kadesh and Bered.

15. And Hagar beareth to Abram a son; and Abram calleth the name of his son, whom Hagar hath borne, Ishmael;

16. and Abram [is] a son of eighty and six years in Hagar's bearing Ishmael to Abram.
