創16

創世記-Genesis 第 16 章

16:1	亞伯蘭的妻子撒萊沒有給他生兒女。撒萊有一個使女，名叫夏甲，是埃及人。 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian female servant, whose name was Hagar.
16:2	撒萊對亞伯蘭說，耶和華使我不能生育，求你和我的使女同房，或者我可以因她得孩子。亞伯蘭聽了撒萊的話。 And Sarai said to Abram, Because Jehovah has prevented me from bearing, please go in to my female servant; perhaps I will obtain children by her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
16:3	於是亞伯蘭的妻子撒萊，將使女埃及人夏甲給了她丈夫為妻；那時亞伯蘭在迦南地已經住了十年。 So after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her female servant, and gave her to Abram her husband to be a wife.
16:4	亞伯蘭與夏甲同房，夏甲就懷了孕；她見自己有孕，就輕看她的主母。 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
16:5	撒萊對亞伯蘭說，願我受的屈辱歸到你身上。我將我的使女放在你懷中，她見自己有了孕，竟輕看我。願耶和華在你我中間行判斷。 And Sarai said to Abram, May the wrong done to me be upon you. I gave my female servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. May Jehovah judge between me and you.
16:6	亞伯蘭對撒萊說，使女在你手下，你看怎樣好，就怎樣待她罷。於是撒萊苦待她，她就從撒萊麵前逃走了。 And Abram said to Sarai, Your female servant is now in your hand; do to her what is good in your eyes. So Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from before her.
16:7	耶和華的使者在曠野往書珥路上的水泉旁遇見她， And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
16:8	對她說，撒萊的使女夏甲，你從那裏來？要往那裏去？夏甲說，我從我的主母撒萊麵前逃出來。 And He said, Hagar, Sarai's female servant, where did you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am fleeing from before my mistress Sarai.
16:9	耶和華的使者對她說，你回到你主母那裏，服在她手下； And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.
16:10	又說，我必使你的後裔極其繁多，甚至不可勝數； And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will greatly multiply your seed so that it will not be counted for multitude.
16:11	並說，你如今懷孕要生一個兒子，可以給他起名叫以實瑪利，因為耶和華聽見了你的苦情。 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, You have now conceived And will bear a son, And you shall call his name Ishmael, Because Jehovah has heard of your affliction.
16:12	他為人必像野驢；他的手要攻打人，人的手也要攻打他；他必住在眾弟兄的東邊。 And he will be a wild ass of a man; His hand will be against everyone, And everyone's hand, against him; And he will settle down opposite all his brothers.
16:13	夏甲就稱那對她說話之耶和華的名為：你是啟示自己的神；因為她說，祂向我啟示了祂自己，我在這裏居然還存活麼？ And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, You are a God who reveals Himself, for she said, Do I even remain here after He has revealed Himself to me?
16:14	所以這井名叫庇耳拉海萊；這井在加低斯和巴列之間。 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; there it is, between Kadesh and Bered.
16:15	後來夏甲給亞伯蘭生了一個兒子；亞伯蘭給他起名叫以實瑪利。 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16:16	夏甲給亞伯蘭生以實瑪利的時候，亞伯蘭年八十六歲。 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
