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 bore him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, 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, Behold now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing: I pray you, go in to my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
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.
And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelled ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be 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 conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
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, My wrong be on you: I have given my maid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and you.
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.
But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand; do to her as it pleases you. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
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 the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in 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 maid, from where came you? and where will you go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 Entonces el Ángel de Yavé le dijo: Vuelve a tu señora y humíllate bajo sus manos.
And the angel of the LORD said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.
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 to her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
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 to her, Behold, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael; because the LORD has heard your affliction.
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 a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of 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 she called the name of the LORD that spoke to her, You God see me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that sees me?
14 Por eso llamó al pozo: Pozo del Viviente-que-me-ve. Ahí está entre Cades y Bered.
Why the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, 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 bore Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 Abram tenía 86 años cuando Agar le dio a luz a Ismael.
And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
