Sarai, mujer de Abram, no le había dado a luz hijo alguno. Pero ella tenía una sierva Egipcia que se llamaba Agar.

2 S o Sarai said to Abram, “Now see, the Lord has kept me from having children. Go in to the woman who serves me. It may be that I will get children through her.” Abram listened to what Sarai said.

Entonces Sarai dijo a Abram: “Mira, el Señor me ha impedido tener hijos. Llégate, te ruego, a mi sierva; quizá por medio de ella yo tenga hijos.” Y Abram escuchó la voz de Sarai.

3 S o Abram’s wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, who served her, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife. That was after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan.

Después de diez años de habitar Abram en la tierra de Canaán, Sarai, mujer de Abram, tomó a su sierva Agar la Egipcia, y se la dio a su marido Abram por mujer.

4 H e went in to Hagar, and she was going to have a child. And when she saw that she was going to have a child, she began to hate Sarai.

Y Abram se llegó a Agar, y ella concibió. Cuando ella vio que había concebido, miraba con desprecio a su señora.

5 T hen Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be upon you. I gave the woman who served me into your arms. But when she saw that she was going to have a child, she began to hate me. May the Lord judge who is guilty or not between you and me.”

Entonces Sarai dijo a Abram: “Recaiga sobre ti mi agravio. Yo entregué a mi sierva en tus brazos. Pero cuando ella vio que había concebido, me miró con desprecio. Juzgue el Señor entre tú y yo.”

6 B ut Abram said to Sarai, “See, the woman who serves you is in your power. Do what you want with her.” So Sarai made it hard for Hagar. And Hagar ran away from her.

Pero Abram dijo a Sarai: “Mira, tu sierva está bajo tu poder; haz con ella lo que mejor te parezca.” Y Sarai trató muy mal a Agar y ella huyó de su presencia. Nacimiento de Ismael

y le dijo: “Agar, sierva de Sarai, ¿de dónde has venido y a dónde vas ?” Ella le respondió: “Huyo de la presencia de mi señora Sarai.”

“Vuelve a tu señora y sométete a su autoridad,” le dijo el ángel del Señor.

10 T he angel of the Lord said to her, “I will give you so many people in your family through the years that they will be too many to number.”

“El será hombre indómito como asno montés; Su mano será contra todos, Y la mano de todos contra él, Y habitará separado de todos sus hermanos.”

13 S o Hagar gave this name to the Lord Who spoke to her, “You are a God Who sees.” For she said, “Have I even stayed alive here after seeing Him?”
