1 Saray, la esposa de Abram, no había podido tener hijos. Pero como tenía una esclava egipcia llamada Agar, 2-3 Saray la tomó y se la llevó a Abram para que durmiera con ella. Saray le dijo a Abram: ―Como el SEÑOR no me ha permitido tener hijos, te ruego que te acuestes con mi esclava, para que yo pueda tener hijos por medio de ella. Abram estuvo de acuerdo con lo que le propuso Saray. Esto ocurrió cuando ya llevaban diez años viviendo en Canaán. 4 Así que Abram se acostó con Agar, y ella quedó embarazada. Cuando Agar supo que estaba embarazada, comenzó a portarse mal con Saray, su dueña. 5 Por eso, Saray le dijo a Abram: ―¡Tú tienes la culpa de que esta esclava me trate con desprecio! Yo te permití que durmieras con ella, y ahora que sabe que está embarazada se porta mal conmigo. ¡Que sea el SEÑOR el que determine quién de nosotros tiene la culpa! 6 Entonces Abram le dijo a Saray: ―La muchacha es tu esclava, así que haz con ella lo que quieras. Saray comenzó a maltratar tanto a Agar, que esta decidió huir. 7 El ángel del SEÑOR la encontró en el desierto, junto a un pozo que se halla en el camino que va hacia la región de Sur, 8 y le preguntó: ―Agar, esclava de Saray, ¿de dónde vienes, y a dónde vas? ―Estoy huyendo de Saray, mi dueña —respondió Agar. 9 Entonces el ángel del SEÑOR le dijo: ―Regresa adonde tu dueña, y obedécela. 10 Además, el ángel del SEÑOR le dijo: ―Tus descendientes serán tan numerosos que no será posible contarlos. 11 Estás embarazada y tendrás un hijo, y lo llamarás Ismael (Dios oye), porque el SEÑOR ha escuchado tu dolor. 12 Ismael será un hombre rebelde, como un potro salvaje. Peleará contra todos, y todos pelearán contra él; pero vivirá cerca de sus hermanos. 13 Agar llamó al SEÑOR, que hablaba con ella, «el Dios que me ve», pues se decía para sus adentros: «He visto al Dios que me ve». 14 Por eso, a este pozo, que está entre Cades y Béred, se le conoce como el«Pozo del Viviente que me ve». 15 Así que Agar le dio un hijo a Abram, el cual lo llamó Ismael. 16 Abram tenía ochenta y seis años cuando nació Ismael.

Génesis 16

English Standard Version

de Crossway
1 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. She had a female Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar. (Gn 15:2; Gn 21:9; Gl 4:24) 2 And Sarai said to Abram, “Behold now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Go in to my servant; it may be that I shall obtain children[1] by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3 So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife. (Gn 12:5) 4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.[2] (1 S 1:6) 5 And Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the Lord judge between you and me!” (Gn 31:53; 1 S 24:12) 6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your servant is in your power; do to her as you please.” Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her. 7 The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. (Gn 25:18; Ex 15:22) 8 And he said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai.” 9 The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel of the Lord also said to her, “I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude.” (Gn 17:20; Gn 21:18; Gn 25:12) 11 And the angel of the Lord said to her, “Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael,[3] because the Lord has listened to your affliction. (Gn 29:32) 12 He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.” (Gn 21:20; Gn 25:18; Job 39:5) 13 So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,”[4] for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.”[5] (Gn 32:30; Ex 19:21; Ex 33:20; Jue 13:22) 14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi;[6] it lies between Kadesh and Bered. (Gn 14:7; Gn 20:1; Gn 24:62; Gn 25:11; Nm 13:26) 15 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
