LEB So[fn] she called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “Youare El-Roi,”[fn] for she said, “Here I have seen after he who sees me.”

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

וַ⁠תִּקְרָ֤א שֵׁם יְהוָה֙ הַ⁠דֹּבֵ֣ר אֵלֶ֔י⁠הָ אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל רֳאִ֑י

and=she/it_called/named name_of YHWH the,spoke to=her/it you(ms) god sees

Some translations transliterate (copy or borrow) the name El Roi from the Hebrew, some translate its meaning, and some do both. Decide what is best in your language.

כִּ֣י אָֽמְרָ֗ה

that/for/because/then/when said

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “She named him that, because she had said to herself,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠גַ֥ם הֲלֹ֛ם רָאִ֖יתִי אַחֲרֵ֥י רֹאִֽ⁠י

?,really here seen after sees,me

Hagar’s rhetorical question shows surprise and amazement. Consider what is the best way to communicate that in your translation. Alternate translation: “How can it be that I was able to look at the back of the God who looks after me?” or “I just now saw the back of him who sees me!”
