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, but she had an Egyptian servant 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.
Sarai said to Abram, "Look now, God has prevented me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her." 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.
So Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband 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.
He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. 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.
Sarai said to Abram, "This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, she despised me. God 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, "Look, your servant is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your sight." Sarai dealt harshly with her, so she fled from her presence.
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 God found her by a spring of water in the desert, by the spring 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, servant of Sarai, where did you come from, and where are you going?" And she said, "I am running away from the presence of my mistress Sarai."
9 Entonces el Ángel de Yavé le dijo: Vuelve a tu señora y humíllate bajo sus manos.
The angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority."
10 Y le dijo el Ángel de Yavé: Multiplicaré inmensamente tu descendencia, y debido a su multitud, no se podrá contar.
The angel of the LORD said to her, "I will greatly multiply your descendants, so that they will be too numerous to count."
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.
Then the angel of God said to her, "Look, you are with child, and will bear a son. You are to name him Ishmael, because God 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.
He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. And he will live away from all of 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 his name, the one who spoke to her, "You are El Roi," for she said, "Here I have seen the one who sees me."
14 Por eso llamó al pozo: Pozo del Viviente-que-me-ve. Ahí está entre Cades y Bered.
Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Look, 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.
Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 Abram tenía 86 años cuando Agar le dio a luz a Ismael.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
