וַיָּבֹ֥א אֶל־הָגָ֖ר
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went to/towards Hāgār and=she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and=she/it_saw that/for/because/then/when conceived and,she_became_insignificant mistress_of,her in,eyes_of,her )
See how you translated the idiom “go to,” the past tense of went to, in [verse 2](../16/02.md). Also, consider whether it is better in your language to refer to Abram by his name or by a pronoun here at the beginning of this paragraph. Alternate translation: [So Abram slept with Hagar] or [So he had sexual relations with Hagar]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went to/towards Hāgār and=she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and=she/it_saw that/for/because/then/when conceived and,she_became_insignificant mistress_of,her in,eyes_of,her )
If the connection between this statement and the previous one is not clear, you may want to use a different connecting word to show how this statement relates to what comes before it. Alternate translation: [and as a result she became pregnant] or [and so she conceived]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַתֵּ֨רֶא֙ כִּ֣י הָרָ֔תָה
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went to/towards Hāgār and=she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and=she/it_saw that/for/because/then/when conceived and,she_became_insignificant mistress_of,her in,eyes_of,her )
The word saw is used here as an idiom that means “realized” or “perceived.” Consider whether or not you have a similar idiom in your language that would work well here. Alternate translation: [She knew that she was pregnant]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַתֵּקַ֥ל גְּבִרְתָּ֖הּ בְּעֵינֶֽיהָ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went to/towards Hāgār and=she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and=she/it_saw that/for/because/then/when conceived and,she_became_insignificant mistress_of,her in,eyes_of,her )
Consider what is the best way to translate this passive clause in your language. Alternate translation: [and she despised her owner Sarai] or [and she treated her owner Sarai with contempt] or [she started to look down on her mistress Sarai]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַתֵּקַ֥ל גְּבִרְתָּ֖הּ בְּעֵינֶֽיהָ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went to/towards Hāgār and=she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and=she/it_saw that/for/because/then/when conceived and,she_became_insignificant mistress_of,her in,eyes_of,her )
The phrase despised in her eyes is an idiom that refers to Hagar’s attitude and disrespectful actions toward Sarai. Consider whether or not your language has a similar idiom. Alternate translation: [and her mistress was treated with contempt]
OET (OET-LV) And_he_went into Hāgār and_she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and_she/it_saw if/because_that she_had_conceived mistress_of_her and_she_became_insignificant in_eyes_of_her.
OET (OET-RV) So he slept with Hagar and she got pregnant, but once she realised that she began to despise her mistress.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
