1 N ow Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children. She had a woman servant from Egypt whose name was Hagar.

Sarai mujer de Abram no le daba hijos; y 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.

Dijo entonces Sarai a Abram: Ya ves que Jehová me ha hecho estéril; te ruego, pues, que te llegues a mi sierva; quizá tendré hijos de ella. Y atendió Abram al ruego 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.

Y Sarai mujer de Abram tomó a Agar su sierva egipcia, al cabo de diez años que había habitado Abram en la tierra de Canaán, y la dio por mujer a Abram su marido.

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 él se llegó a Agar, la cual concibió; y cuando 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: Mi afrenta sea sobre ti; yo te di mi sierva por mujer, y viéndose encinta, me mira con desprecio; juzgue Jehová 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.

Y respondió Abram a Sarai: He aquí, tu sierva está en tu mano; haz con ella lo que bien te parezca. Y como Sarai la afligía, ella huyó de su presencia.

7 T he angel of the Lord found Hagar by a well of water in the desert on the way to Shur.

Y la halló el ángel de Jehová junto a una fuente de agua en el desierto, junto a la fuente que está en el camino de Shur.

8 H e said, “Hagar, you who serve Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” And she said, “I am running away from Sarai, the one I serve.”

Y le dijo: Agar, sierva de Sarai, ¿de dónde vienes tú, y a dónde vas? Y ella respondió: Huyo de delante de Sarai mi señora.

9 T hen the angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your boss. Put yourself under her power.”

Y le dijo el ángel de Jehová: Vuélvete a tu señora, y ponte sumisa bajo su mano.

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.”

Le dijo también el ángel de Jehová: Multiplicaré tanto tu descendencia, que no podrá ser contada a causa de la multitud.

11 T he angel of the Lord also said to her, “See, you are going to have a child. And you will give birth to a son. You will give him the name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard how you have suffered.

Además le dijo el ángel de Jehová: He aquí que has concebido, y darás a luz un hijo, y llamarás su nombre Ismael, porque Jehová ha oído tu aflicción.

12 H e will be a wild donkey of a man. His hand will be against all people. And the hand of all people will be against him. He will live to the east of all his brothers.”

Y él será hombre fiero; su mano será contra todos, y la mano de todos contra él, y delante de todos sus hermanos habitará.

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?”

Entonces llamó el nombre de Jehová que con ella hablaba: Tú eres Dios que ve; porque dijo: ¿No he visto también aquí al que me ve?

14 S o the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is between Kadesh and Bered.

Por lo cual llamó al pozo: Pozo del Viviente-que-me-ve. He aquí está entre Cades y Bered.

15 H agar gave birth to Abram’s son. And Abram gave his son who was born of Hagar the name Ishmael.

Y Agar dio a luz un hijo a Abram, y llamó Abram el nombre del hijo que le dio Agar, Ismael.

16 A bram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to his son Ishmael.

Era Abram de edad de ochenta y seis años, cuando Agar dio a luz a Ismael.
