Genesis 16
1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children; and she had a servant, a woman of Egypt whose name was Hagar.
Sarai, mujer de Abram, no le daba hijos; pero tenía una sierva egipcia, que se llamaba Agar,
2 And Sarai said to Abram, See, the Lord has not let me have children; go in to my servant, for I may get a family through her. And Abram did as Sarai said.
y dijo Sarai a Abram: “Mira que Yahvé me ha hecho estéril; llégate, pues, te ruego, a mi esclava. Quizás podré tener hijos de ella.” Escuchó Abram la voz de Sarai.
3 So after Abram had been living for ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, and gave her to Abram for his wife.
Y así al cabo de diez años de habitar Abram en el país de Canaán, tomó Sarai, la mujer de Abram, a Agar la egipcia, su esclava, y se la dio por mujer a Abram, su marido.
4 And he went in to Hagar and she became with child, and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for her master's wife.
Llegose, pues, él a Agar, la cual concibió; mas luego que vio que había concebido, miraba a su señora con desprecio.
5 And Sarai said to Abram, May my wrong be on you: I gave you my servant for your wife and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for me: may the Lord be judge between you and me.
Dijo entonces Sarai a Abram: “El agravio hecho a mí cae sobre ti. Yo puse mi esclava en tu seno, más viéndose ella encinta me mira con desprecio. Juzgue Yahvé entre mí y ti.”
6 And Abram said, The woman is in your power; do with her whatever seems good to you. And Sarai was cruel to her, so that she went running away from her.
Respondió Abram a Sarai: Ahí tienes a tu sierva a tu disposición. Haz con ella como bien te parezca.” Luego la maltrató Sarai; y ella huyó de su presencia.
7 And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
La encontró el Ángel de Yahvé en el desierto, junto a una fuente de agua, que está en el camino de Sur;
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant, where have you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am running away from Sarai, my master's wife.
y dijo: “¿Agar, esclava de Sarai, de dónde vienes y adónde vas?” Contestó ella: “Voy huyendo de la presencia de Sarai, mi señora.”
9 And the angel said to her, Go back, and put yourself under her authority.
“Vuelve a tu señora, le replicó el Ángel de Yahvé, y humíllate bajo su mano.”
10 And the angel of the Lord said, Your seed will be greatly increased so that it may not be numbered.
Y agregó el Ángel de Yahvé: “Multiplicaré de tal manera tu descendencia, que por su gran multitud no podrá contarse.”
11 And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.
Le dijo además el Ángel de Yahvé: “Mira, has concebido, y darás a luz un hijo, al que llamarás Ismael; porque Yahvé ha oído su aflicción.
12 And he will be like a mountain ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him, and he will keep his place against all his brothers.
Será hombre (fiero) como el asno montés. Su mano será contra todos, y la mano de todos contra él; y frente a todos sus hermanos pondrá su morada.”
13 And to the Lord who was talking with her she gave this name, You are a God who is seen; for she said, Have I not even here in the waste land had a vision of God and am still living?
Entonces ella llamó a Yahvé, que con ella hablaba, con el nombre de: “Atta El Roí”, pues dijo: “¿No he visto aquí mismo al que me ve?”
14 So that fountain was named, Fountain of Life and Vision: it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Por tanto llamó a aquel pozo “Pozo del Viviente que me ve.” Es el que está entre Cades y Barad.
15 And Hagar gave birth to a child, the son of Abram, to whom Abram gave the name of Ishmael.
Y Agar le dio un hijo a Abram, el cual al hijo que Agar había dado a luz, le puso por nombre Ismael.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.
Tenía Abram ochenta y seis años cuando Ismael le nació de Agar.
