1 Y SARAI, mujer de Abram no le paría: y ella tenía una sierva egipcia, que se llamaba Agar.

Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. She had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar.

2 D ijo, pues, Sarai á Abram: Ya ves que Jehová me ha hecho estéril: ruégote que entres á mi sierva; quizá tendré hijos de ella. Y atendió Abram al dicho de Sarai.

And Sarai said to Abram, See here, the Lord has restrained me from bearing. I am asking you to have intercourse with my maid; it may be that I can obtain children by her. And Abram listened to and heeded what Sarai said.

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

So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her Egyptian maid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

4 Y él cohabitó con Agar, la cual concibió: y cuando vió que había concebido, miraba con desprecio á su señora.

And he had intercourse with Hagar, and she became pregnant; and when she saw that she was with child, she looked with contempt upon her mistress and despised her.

5 E ntonces Sarai dijo á Abram: Mi afrenta sea sobre ti: yo puse mi sierva en tu seno, y viéndose embarazada, me mira con desprecio; juzgue Jehová entre mí y ti.

Then Sarai said to Abram, May my wrong and deprivation of rights be upon you! I gave my maid into your bosom, and when she saw that she was with child, I was contemptible and despised in her eyes. May the Lord be the judge between you and me.

6 Y respondió Abram á Sarai: He ahí tu sierva en tu mano, haz con ella lo que bien te pareciere. Y como Sarai la afligiese, huyóse de su presencia.

But Abram said to Sarai, See here, your maid is in your hands and power; do as you please with her. And when Sarai dealt severely with her, humbling and afflicting her, she fled from her.

7 Y hallóla el ángel de Jehová junto á una fuente de agua en el desierto, junto á la fuente que está en el camino del Sur.

But the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness on the road to Shur.

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

And He said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where did you come from, and where are you intending to go? And she said, I am running away from my mistress Sarai.

9 Y díjole el ángel de Jehová: Vuélvete á tu señora, y ponte sumisa bajo de su mano.

The Angel of the Lord said to her, Go back to your mistress and submit to her control.

10 D íjole también el ángel de Jehová: Multiplicaré tanto tu linaje, que no será contado á causa de la muchedumbre.

Also the Angel of the Lord said to her, I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 D íjole aún el ángel de Jehová: He aquí que has concebido, y parirás un hijo, y llamarás su nombre Ismael, porque oído ha Jehová tu aflicción.

And the Angel of the Lord continued, See now, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard and paid attention to your affliction.

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

And he will be as a wild ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man’s hand against him, and he will live to the east and on the borders of all his kinsmen.

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

So she called the name of the Lord Who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Have I even here looked upon Him Who sees me ? Or have I here also seen Him Who sees me?

14 P or lo cual llamó al pozo, Pozo del Viviente que me ve. He aquí está entre Cades y Bered.

Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Y parió Agar á Abram un hijo y llamó Abram el nombre de su hijo que le parió Agar, Ismael.

And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore Ishmael.

16 Y era Abram de edad de ochenta y seis años, cuando parió Agar á Ismael.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael.
