Si Hagar at si Ismael
16 Hindi magkaanak si Sarai na asawa ni Abram. Ngunit mayroon siyang aliping babae na taga-Egipto na ang pangalan ay Hagar. 2 Sinabi niya, “Abram, dahil pinagkaitan ako ni Yahweh ng anak, ang alipin ko ang sipingan mo. Baka sakaling magkaanak siya para sa akin!” Pumayag si Abram sa sinabi ni Sarai. 3 At ipinaubaya nga ni Sarai sa kanyang asawa si Hagar upang maging asawang-lingkod. Sampung taon na si Abram na naninirahan sa Canaan nang ito'y nangyari. 4 Matapos sipingan ni Abram si Hagar, nagdalang-tao nga ito. Subalit nagmalaki si Hagar at hinamak nito si Sarai.
5 Dahil dito, sinabi ni Sarai kay Abram, “Ikaw ang dahilan ng paghamak ni Hagar sa akin! Alam mong ako ang nagkaloob sa iyo ng alipin kong ito; bakit niya ako hinahamak ngayong siya'y nagdadalang-tao? Si Yahweh na ang humatol kung sino sa atin ang tama!”
6 At sumagot si Abram, “Alipin mo naman siya, kaya gawin mo sa kanya ang gusto mo.” Pinagmalupitan nga ni Sarai si Hagar, kaya ito'y tumakas.
7 Sinalubong siya ng anghel ni Yahweh sa tabi ng isang bukal sa ilang na malapit sa daang patungo sa Shur. 8 “Hagar, alipin ni Sarai, saan ka nanggaling at saan ka pupunta?” tanong ng anghel.
“Tumakas po ako sa aking panginoon,” ang sagot ni Hagar.
9 Sinabi ng anghel, “Magbalik ka at muling magpasakop sa kanya.
10 Mga anak mo ay aking pararamihin,
at sa karamiha'y di kayang bilangin;
11 di na magtatagal, ika'y magsisilang,
Ismael[a] ang sa kanya'y iyong ipangalan,
sapagkat dininig ni Yahweh ang iyong karaingan.
12 Ngunit ang anak mo'y magiging mailap, hayop na asno ang makakatulad;
maraming kalaban, kaaway ng lahat,
di makikisama sa mga kaanak.”
13 Kaya't nasabi ni Hagar sa sarili, “Talaga bang nakita ko rito ang Diyos na nakakakita sa akin at hanggang ngayo'y buháy pa rin ako?” Kaya't tinawag niya si Yahweh nang ganito: “Ikaw ang Diyos na Nakakakita.” 14 Kaya't ang balon sa pagitan ng Kades at Bered ay tinawag nilang, “Balon ng Diyos na Buháy at Nakakakita sa Akin.”
15 Nagsilang(A) nga si Hagar ng isang anak na lalaki kay Abram at ito'y pinangalanan nitong Ismael. 16 Noo'y walumpu't anim na taon na si Abram.

Genesis 16
English Standard Version
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.
