Agar e Ismael
16 Sarai, a mulher de Abrão, não lhe tinha dado filhos. Ela possuía uma escrava egípcia, que se chamava Agar. 2 Um dia Sarai disse a Abrão:
— Já que o Senhor Deus não me deixa ter filhos, tenha relações com a minha escrava; talvez assim, por meio dela, eu possa ter filhos.
Abrão concordou com o plano de Sarai, 3 e assim ela lhe deu Agar para ser sua concubina. Isso aconteceu quando já fazia dez anos que Abrão estava morando em Canaã. 4 Abrão teve relações com Agar, e ela ficou grávida. Quando descobriu que estava grávida, Agar começou a olhar com desprezo para Sarai, a sua dona. 5 Aí Sarai disse a Abrão:
— Por sua culpa Agar está me desprezando. Eu mesma a entreguei nos seus braços; e, agora que sabe que está grávida, ela fica me tratando com desprezo. Que o Senhor Deus julgue quem é culpado, se é você ou se sou eu!
6 Abrão respondeu:
— Está bem. Agar é sua escrava, você manda nela. Faça com ela o que quiser.
Aí Sarai começou a maltratá-la tanto, que ela fugiu. 7 Mas o Anjo do Senhor a encontrou no deserto, perto de uma fonte que fica no caminho de Sur, 8 e perguntou:
— Agar, escrava de Sarai, de onde você vem e para onde está indo?
— Estou fugindo da minha dona — respondeu ela.
9 Então o Anjo do Senhor deu a seguinte ordem:
— Volte para a sua dona e seja obediente a ela em tudo.
10 E o Anjo do Senhor disse também:
“Eu farei com que o número
dos seus descendentes seja grande;
eles serão tantos, que ninguém
poderá contá-los.
11 Você está grávida, e terá um filho,
e porá nele o nome de Ismael,
pois o Senhor Deus ouviu o seu grito de aflição.
12 Esse filho será
como um jumento selvagem;
ele lutará contra todos,
e todos lutarão contra ele.
E ele viverá longe de todos
os seus parentes.”
13 Então Agar deu ao Senhor este nome: “O Deus que Vê.” Isso porque ele havia falado com ela, e ela havia perguntado a si mesma: “Será verdade que eu vi Aquele que Me Vê?” 14 É por isso que esse poço, que fica entre Cades e Berede, é chamado de “Poço Daquele que Vive e Me Vê”.
15 Agar deu um filho a Abrão, e ele pôs no menino o nome de Ismael. 16 Abrão tinha oitenta e seis anos quando Ismael nasceu.

Sarai and Hagar
16 (A)Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. She had a female Egyptian servant whose name was (B)Hagar. 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[a] by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3 So, after Abram (C)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. 4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, (D)she looked with contempt on her mistress.[b] 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 (E)the Lord judge between you and me!” 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 (F)Shur. 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, (G)“I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude.” 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,[c]
(H)because the Lord has listened to your affliction.
12 He shall be (I)a wild donkey of a man,
his hand against everyone
and everyone's hand against him,
and he shall dwell (J)over against all his kinsmen.”
13 So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,”[d] for she said, (K)“Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.”[e] 14 Therefore the well was called (L)Beer-lahai-roi;[f] it lies between (M)Kadesh and Bered.
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.

Hagar and Ishmael
16 Now Sarai,(A) Abram’s wife, had borne him no children.(B) But she had an Egyptian slave(C) named Hagar;(D) 2 so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children.(E) Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.”(F)
Abram agreed to what Sarai said. 3 So after Abram had been living in Canaan(G) ten years,(H) Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. 4 He slept with Hagar,(I) and she conceived.
When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.(J) 5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.”(K)
6 “Your slave is in your hands,(L)” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated(M) Hagar; so she fled from her.
7 The angel of the Lord(N) found Hagar near a spring(O) in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.(P) 8 And he said, “Hagar,(Q) slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”(R)
“I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.
9 Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”(S)
11 The angel of the Lord(T) also said to her:
“You are now pregnant
and you will give birth to a son.(U)
You shall name him(V) Ishmael,[a](W)
for the Lord has heard of your misery.(X)
12 He will be a wild donkey(Y) of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward[b] all his brothers.(Z)”
13 She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,(AA)” for she said, “I have now seen[c] the One who sees me.”(AB) 14 That is why the well(AC) was called Beer Lahai Roi[d];(AD) it is still there, between Kadesh(AE) and Bered.
15 So Hagar(AF) bore Abram a son,(AG) and Abram gave the name Ishmael(AH) to the son she had borne. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old(AI) when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
