Genesis 16

1 Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar.

Y Sarai, mujer de Abram, no le paría; y ella tenía una sierva Egipcia, que se llamaba Agar.

2 [So one day] Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So (sleep with/have sex with) [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said.

Dijo, pues, Sarai a Abram: He aquí ahora, Jehová me ha vedado de parir: ruégote que entres a mi sierva, quizá tendré hijos de ella. Y obedeció Abram al dicho de Sarai.

3 So Abram (slept with/had sex with) Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan [land]. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife.

Y tomó Sarai, la mujer de Abram, a Agar Egipcia su sierva, al cabo de diez años que había habitado Abram en la tierra de Canaán, y dióla a Abram su marido por mujer.

4 He (slept with/had sex with) [EUP] Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress Sarai.

Y él entró a Agar, la cual concibió: y viéndose preñada, menospreciaba a su señora en sus ojos.

5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to me!”

Entonces Sarai dijo a Abram: Mi afrenta es sobre ti: yo puse mi sierva en tu seno, y viendo que se ha empreñado, soy menospreciada en sus ojos: juzgue Jehová entre mí y ti.

6 So Abram said to Sarai, “[You listen to me]! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai.

Y respondió Abram a Sarai: He ahí tu sierva en tu mano: haz con ella lo que bueno te pareciere. Entonces Sarai la afligió, y ella se huyó de delante de ella.

7 An angel of Yahweh found her as she was near a spring of water in the desert. It was the spring that was alongside the road to Shur.

Y hallóla el ángel de Jehová junto a una fuente de agua en el desierto: junto a la fuente que está en el camino del Sur:

8 He said to her, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I have run away from Sarai, my mistress.”

Y díjo la: Agar sierva de Sarai: ¿Dónde? ¿De dónde vienes, y a dónde vas? Y ella respondió: Huyo de delante de Sarai mi señora.

9 The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.

Y díjole el ángel de Jehová: Vuélvete a tu señora, y humíllate debajo de su mano.

10 The angel also said to her, “I will enable you to bear so many descendants that no one will be able to count them!”

Y díjole más el ángel de Jehová: Multiplicando multiplicaré tu simiente, que no será contada por la multitud.

11 The angel also said to her, “[Listen to this!] You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, [which means ‘God hears]’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.

Y díjole más el ángel de Jehová: He aquí, tú estás preñada, y parirás un hijo: y llamarás su nombre Ismael, porque oído ha Jehová tu aflicción.

12 But your son will be as uncontrollable as a wild donkey [MET]. He will oppose everyone, and everyone will oppose him [MTY]. He will live far away from his relatives [SYN].”

Y él será hombre fiero: su mano contra todos, y las manos de todos contra él, y delante de todos sus hermanos habitará.

13 Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “(It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?)” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’.

Entonces ella llamó el nombre de Jehová, que hablaba con ella: Atta el roi, Tú, Dios, de vista: Porque dijo: ¿No he visto también aquí las espaldas del que me vio?

14 That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, [which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’!] It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.

Por lo cual llamó al pozo: Pozo del Viviente, que me ve. He aquí, está entre Cádes, y Barad.

15 So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.

Y parió Agar a Abram un hijo; y llamó Abram el nombre de su hijo, que le parió Agar, Ismael.

16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.

Y Abram era de edad de ochenta y seis años, cuando parió Agar a Ismael.
