Génesis 16
1Sarai, mujer de Abram, no le daba hijos; pero tenía una sierva egipcia, que se llamaba Agar, Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had not conceived children. But, having an Egyptian handmaid named Hagar,2y 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. she said to her husband: “Behold, the Lord has closed me, lest I give birth. Enter to my handmaid, so that perhaps I may receive sons of her at least.” And when he agreed to her supplication,3Y 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. she took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, ten years after they began to live in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to her husband as a wife.4Llegose, pues, él a Agar, la cual concibió; mas luego que vio que había concebido, miraba a su señora con desprecio. And he entered to her. But when she saw that she had conceived, she despised her mistress.5Dijo 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.” And Sarai said to Abram: “You have acted unfairly against me. I gave my handmaid into your bosom, who, when she saw that she had conceived, held me in contempt. May the Lord judge between me and you.”6Respondió 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. Abram responded to her by saying, “Behold, your handmaid is in your hand to treat as it pleases you.” And so, when Sarai afflicted her, she took flight.7La encontró el Ángel de Yahvé en el desierto, junto a una fuente de agua, que está en el camino de Sur; And when the Angel of the Lord had found her, near the fountain of water in the wilderness, which is on the way to Shur in the desert,8y dijo: “¿Agar, esclava de Sarai, de dónde vienes y adónde vas?” Contestó ella: “Voy huyendo de la presencia de Sarai, mi señora.” he said to her: “Hagar, handmaid of Sarai, where have you come from? And where will you go?” And she answered, “I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.”9“Vuelve a tu señora, le replicó el Ángel de Yahvé, y humíllate bajo su mano.” And the Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand.”10Y agregó el Ángel de Yahvé: “Multiplicaré de tal manera tu descendencia, que por su gran multitud no podrá contarse.” And again he said, “I will multiply your offspring continuously, and they will not be numbered because of their multitude.”11Le 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. But thereafter he said: “Behold, you have conceived, and you will give birth to a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your affliction.12Será 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.” He will be a wild man. His hand will be against all, and all hands will be against him. And he will pitch his tents away from the region of all his brothers.”13Entonces 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?” Then she called upon the name of the Lord who had spoken to her: “You are the God who has seen me.” For she said, “Certainly, here I have seen the back of the one who sees me.”14Por tanto llamó a aquel pozo “Pozo del Viviente que me ve.” Es el que está entre Cades y Barad. Because of this, she called that well: ‘The well of the one who lives and who sees me.’ The same is between Kadesh and Bered.15Y Agar le dio un hijo a Abram, el cual al hijo que Agar había dado a luz, le puso por nombre Ismael. And Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram, who called his name Ishmael.16Tenía Abram ochenta y seis años cuando Ismael le nació de Agar. Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael for him.
