Agar é dada por mulher a Abrão
16 Ora, Sarai, mulher de Abrão, não lhe gerava filhos, e ele tinha uma serva egípcia, cujo nome era Agar. 2 E disse Sarai a Abrão: Eis que o Senhor me tem impedido de gerar; entra, pois, à minha serva; porventura, terei filhos dela. E ouviu Abrão a voz de Sarai. 3 Assim, tomou Sarai, mulher de Abrão, a Agar, egípcia, sua serva, e deu-a por mulher a Abrão, seu marido, ao fim de dez anos que Abrão habitara na terra de Canaã. 4 E ele entrou a Agar, e ela concebeu; e, vendo ela que concebera, foi sua senhora desprezada aos seus olhos. 5 Então, disse Sarai a Abrão: Meu agravo seja sobre ti. Minha serva pus eu em teu regaço; vendo ela, agora, que concebeu, sou menosprezada aos seus olhos. O Senhor julgue entre mim e ti. 6 E disse Abrão a Sarai: Eis que tua serva está na tua mão; faze-lhe o que bom é aos teus olhos. E afligiu-a Sarai, e ela fugiu de sua face.
7 E o Anjo do Senhor a achou junto a uma fonte de água no deserto, junto à fonte no caminho de Sur. 8 E disse: Agar, serva de Sarai, de onde vens e para onde vais? E ela disse: Venho fugida da face de Sarai, minha senhora. 9 Então, lhe disse o Anjo do Senhor: Torna-te para tua senhora e humilha-te debaixo de suas mãos. 10 Disse-lhe mais o Anjo do Senhor: Multiplicarei sobremaneira a tua semente, que não será contada, por numerosa que será. 11 Disse-lhe também o Anjo do Senhor: Eis que concebeste, e terás um filho, e chamarás o seu nome Ismael, porquanto o Senhor ouviu a tua aflição. 12 E ele será homem bravo; e a sua mão será contra todos, e a mão de todos, contra ele; e habitará diante da face de todos os seus irmãos. 13 E ela chamou o nome do Senhor, que com ela falava: Tu és Deus da vista, porque disse: Não olhei eu também para aquele que me vê? 14 Por isso, se chama aquele poço de Laai-Roi; eis que está entre Cades e Berede.
15 E Agar deu um filho a Abrão; e Abrão chamou o nome do seu filho que tivera Agar, Ismael. 16 E era Abrão da idade de oitenta e seis anos, quando Agar deu Ismael a Abrão.

Abram en Hagar krijgen een zoon
16 Maar Abram en Sarai kregen geen kinderen. Daarom gaf Sarai haar dienares, het Egyptische meisje Hagar, als tweede vrouw aan Abram. 2 ‘De Here heeft mij geen kinderen gegeven,’ zei Sarai, ‘neem daarom mijn dienares tot vrouw. Haar kinderen zullen dan de mijne zijn.’ 3 Abram stemde in met Saraiʼs voorstel. Dit gebeurde tien jaar nadat Abram in Kanaän kwam. 4 Hij had gemeenschap met Hagar en zij raakte in verwachting. Toen ze dat merkte, nam zij echter een hooghartige houding aan tegenover haar meesteres Sarai. 5 Sarai beklaagde zich daarover bij Abram. ‘Het is allemaal jouw schuld,’ zei ze boos. ‘Ik heb je mijn dienares gegeven en nu zij in verwachting is, kijkt ze op mij neer. Moge de Here recht spreken over wat mij is aangedaan.’ 6 ‘Je mag haar van mij onder handen nemen als je dat nodig vindt,’ antwoordde Abram. Toen nam Sarai Hagar onder handen en sloeg haar, zodat ze vluchtte.
7 De Engel van de Here vond Hagar bij een bron in de woestijn langs de weg naar Sur. 8 De Engel zei: ‘Hagar, dienares van Sarai, waar komt u vandaan en waar gaat u heen?’ Hagar antwoordde: ‘Ik ben op de vlucht voor mijn meesteres.’ 9 De Engel zei: ‘Ga terug naar uw meesteres en gehoorzaam haar, 10 want uw nakomelingen zullen een groot volk worden. 11 U bent in verwachting en u zult een zoon krijgen. Noem hem Ismaël (God luistert), want de Here heeft uw klachten gehoord. 12 Uw zoon zal een wildebras worden, een vrijbuiter! Hij zal zich veel vijanden maken en zijn hele familie trotseren.’
13 Hierna noemde Hagar de naam van de Here—want Hij was het die met haar had gesproken—‘de God, die ziet en door mij werd gezien.’ Ze was verbaasd dat zij God had gezien en toch nog in leven was. 14 Later werd de bron in de woestijn ‘De bron van de Levende die mij ziet’ genoemd. Hij ligt tussen Kades en Bered. 15,16 Zo kreeg Abram een zoon van Hagar en hij noemde hem Ismaël. Abram was toen zesentachtig jaar oud.
Genesis 16
New American Standard Bible
Sarai and Hagar
16 Now (A)Sarai, Abram’s wife, had not borne him a child, but she had (B)an Egyptian slave woman whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. (C)Please have relations with my slave woman; perhaps I will [a]obtain children through her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3 And so after Abram had lived (D)ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram’s wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her slave woman, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife. 4 Then he had relations with Hagar, and she conceived; and when Hagar became aware that she had conceived, her mistress was insignificant in her sight. 5 So Sarai said to Abram, “(E)May the wrong done to me be upon you! I put my slave woman into your [b]arms, but when she saw that she had conceived, I was insignificant in her [c]sight. (F)May the Lord judge between [d]you and me.” 6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Look, your slave woman is in your [e]power; do to her what is good in your [f]sight.” So Sarai treated her harshly, and (G)she fled from her presence.
7 Now (H)the angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to (I)Shur. 8 He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s slave woman, (J)from where have you come, and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.” 9 So the angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit [g]to her authority.” 10 The (K)angel of the Lord also said to her, “(L)I will greatly multiply your [h]descendants so that [i]they will be too many to count.” 11 The angel of the Lord said to her further,
“Behold, you are pregnant,
And you will give birth to a son;
And you shall name him [j]Ishmael,
Because (M)the Lord has heard your affliction.
12 But he will be a (N)wild donkey of a man;
His hand will be against everyone,
And everyone’s hand will be against him;
And he will live [k](O)in defiance of all his brothers.”
13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “[l]You are [m]a God who sees me”; for she said, “(P)Have I even seen Him here and lived after [n]He saw me?” 14 Therefore the well was called [o]Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between (Q)Kadesh and Bered.
15 So Hagar bore a son to Abram; and Abram named his son, to whom Hagar gave birth, Ishmael. 16 Abram was (R)eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to [p]him.
