Génesis 16
1 Saray, esposa de Abram, no le daba hijos. Pero ella tenía una esclava egipcia cuyo nombre era Agar.
Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children; and she had a servant, a woman of Egypt whose name was Hagar.
2 Y Saray dijo a Abram: Mira, Yavé me impidió tener hijos. Te ruego que te unas a mi esclava. Quizás los obtenga de ella. Y Abram escuchó la voz de Saray.
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.
3 Y después de diez años de vivir Abram en la tierra de Canaán, su esposa Saray tomó a Agar, su esclava egipcia, y la dio como mujer a su esposo Abram.
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.
4 Él se unió a Agar y [ella] concibió. Sin embargo, cuando vio que concibió, miraba con desprecio a su señora.
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.
5 Entonces Saray dijo a Abram: ¡Mi afrenta sea sobre ti! Yo puse a mi esclava en tu seno, y ella, al ver que está embarazada, me mira con desprecio. Juzgue Yavé entre tú y yo.
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.
6 Abram contestó a Saray: Mira, tu esclava está en tus manos. Haz con ella lo que te parezca bien. Entonces Saray la afligió, y ella huyó de su presencia.
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.
7 Pero el Ángel de Yavé la halló junto a un pozo de agua en el desierto, junto al pozo que está en el camino de Shur,
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.
8 y le dijo: Agar, esclava de Saray, ¿de dónde vienes y a dónde vas? Ella respondió: Huyo de la presencia de mi señora Saray.
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.
9 Entonces el Ángel de Yavé le dijo: Vuelve a tu señora y humíllate bajo sus manos.
And the angel said to her, Go back, and put yourself under her authority.
10 Y le dijo el Ángel de Yavé: Multiplicaré inmensamente tu descendencia, y debido a su multitud, no se podrá contar.
And the angel of the Lord said, Your seed will be greatly increased so that it may not be numbered.
11 El Ángel de Yavé también le dijo: Mira, estás embarazada y darás a luz un hijo. Lo llamarás Ismael, porque Yavé escuchó tu aflicción.
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.
12 Él será un hombre como el asno salvaje. Su mano estará contra todos, Y la mano de todos contra él. Vivirá enfrentado a todos sus hermanos.
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.
13 Y le dio a Yavé, Quien hablaba con ella, este nombre: Tú eres el ʼEL-que-me-ve, porque dijo: ¿No vi aquí yo la espalda de Aquél que me ve?
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?
14 Por eso llamó al pozo: Pozo del Viviente-que-me-ve. Ahí está entre Cades y Bered.
So that fountain was named, Fountain of Life and Vision: it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 Agar dio a luz un hijo a Abram, y Abram llamó Ismael al hijo que Agar le dio a luz.
And Hagar gave birth to a child, the son of Abram, to whom Abram gave the name of Ishmael.
16 Abram tenía 86 años cuando Agar le dio a luz a Ismael.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.
