Und er ging zu Hagar, die ward schwanger. Als sie nun sah, daß sie schwanger war, achtete sie ihre Frau gering gegen sich.
Y él cohabitó con Agar, la cual concibió: y cuando vio que había concebido, miraba con desprecio a su señora.
Il alla vers Agar, et elle devint enceinte. Quand elle se vit enceinte, elle regarda sa maîtresse avec mépris.
Ed egli entrò da lei, ed ella concepette; e, veggendo che avea conceputo, sprezzò la sua padrona.
E ele possuiu a Agar, e ela concebeu; e vendo ela que concebera, foi sua senhora desprezada aos seus olhos.
