16:11 Names in Genesis often capture the message of a passage and aid the remembrance of the events and their significance in the history of the faith. The name Ishmael, which means “God hears,” commemorates that the Lord . . . heard Hagar’s cry of distress (see also study note on 16:14-15). This name would have greatly comforted Hagar; God listened to her prayers and acknowledged her complaint.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לָהּ֙ מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֔ה
and=he/it_said to/for=her/it angel YHWH
Alternate translation: “Finally the angel also said to her,” or “Finally he also told her,” or “Then the angel added”
הִנָּ֥ךְ הָרָ֖ה וְיֹלַ֣דְתְּ בֵּ֑ן
behold,you conceived and,have son
Make sure it is clear in your translation that Hagar already knew that she was pregnant, but did not know she was having a son or what she should name him. Alternate translation: “Look as you know, you are expecting a child You will bear a son, and” or “Look you are pregnant with a son. After he is born,”
וְקָרָ֤את שְׁמוֹ֙
and,call his/its=name
Alternate translation: “give him the name”
יִשְׁמָעֵ֔אל
Yishəmāˊēʼl/(Ishmael)
Some translation teams make the meaning of Ishmael’s name explicit in their translation. Other teams put the meaning of his name in a footnote. See what you did for similar cases in Gen 3:20, 4:1, 16, 25; 6:29, 10:25, 11:9.
Note 2 topic: translate-names
כִּֽי שָׁמַ֥ע יְהוָ֖ה אֶל
that/for/because/then/when heard YHWH to/towards
If you include the meaning of Ishmael’s name earlier in this verse, make sure it fits with how you translate this clause. Alternate translation: “because Yahweh heard” or “because Yahweh paid attention to”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עָנְיֵֽךְ
affliction,your
The word that means listened to implies here that God also took action to help Hagar. Alternate translation: “your cries of misery and has helped you.”
