创世记 21
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
以撒出生
21 耶和华照着以前所说的,眷顾撒拉;耶和华按着他的应许,给撒拉作成。 2 亚伯拉罕年老的时候,撒拉怀了孕,到了 神应许的日期,就给亚伯拉罕生了一个儿子。 3 亚伯拉罕给撒拉为他所生的儿子,起名叫以撒。 4 亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒生下来第八天,亚伯拉罕就照着 神吩咐他的,给以撒行了割礼。 5 他儿子以撒出生的时候,亚伯拉罕正一百岁。 6 撒拉说:“ 神使我欢笑,凡听见的,也必为我欢笑。” 7 又说:“谁能告诉亚伯拉罕,撒拉要乳养儿女呢?在他年老的时候,我竟给他生了一个儿子。”
夏甲与以实玛利母子被逐
8 孩子渐渐长大,就断了奶。以撒断奶的那天,亚伯拉罕摆设盛大的筵席。 9 撒拉看见那埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子在嬉戏, 10 就对亚伯拉罕说:“把这婢女和她的儿子赶出去,因为这婢女的儿子不能和我的儿子以撒一同承受产业。” 11 亚伯拉罕因他的儿子而非常烦恼。 12 神对亚伯拉罕说:“不要因这童子和你的婢女而烦恼。撒拉对你说的话,你都要听从;因为以撒生的,才可以称为你的后裔。 13 至于这婢女的儿子,我也要使他成为一国,因为他是你的后裔。”
14 亚伯拉罕清早起来,拿饼和一皮袋水,给了夏甲,放在她的肩膀上,又把孩子交给她,就打发她离开。夏甲走了,在别是巴的旷野飘荡。 15 皮袋里的水用尽了,夏甲就把孩子撇在一棵小树底下。 16 然后自己走开,在离开约有一箭之远的地方,相对而坐,说:“我不忍眼看孩子死去。”就相对坐着,放声大哭。 17 神听见了童子的声音,他的使者就从天上呼叫夏甲,对她说:“夏甲啊,你为甚么这样呢?不要害怕,因为孩子在那里所发的声音 神已经听见了。 18 起来,扶起孩子,尽力保护他;因为我要使他成为大国。” 19 神开了夏甲的眼睛,她就看见一口水井。她去把皮袋盛满了水,就给孩子喝。 20 神与孩子同在,他渐渐长大,住在旷野,成了个弓箭手。 21 他住在巴兰的旷野,他的母亲从埃及地给他娶了一个妻子。
亚伯拉罕与亚比米勒立约
22 那时,亚比米勒和他的军长非各对亚伯拉罕说:“在你所作的一切事上, 神都与你同在。 23 现在你要在这里指着 神对我起誓,你不会以诡诈待我和我的子子孙孙。我怎样恩待了你,你也要怎样恩待我和你寄居的地方。” 24 亚伯拉罕回答:“我愿意起誓。” 25 亚伯拉罕因亚比米勒的仆人强占了一口水井,就指责亚比米勒。 26 亚比米勒说:“谁作了这事,我不知道,你也没有告诉我;我现在才听见。” 27 于是亚伯拉罕牵了牛羊来,送给亚比米勒,二人就彼此立约。 28 亚伯拉罕把羊群中的七只母羊羔,放在另外一处。 29 亚比米勒问亚伯拉罕:“你把这七只母羊羔放在另外一处,是甚么意思呢?” 30 亚伯拉罕回答:“意思就是:你从我手里接受这七只母羊羔,好作我挖了这口井的证据。” 31 因此那地方名叫别是巴,因为他们二人在那里起了誓。 32 他们在别是巴立约以后,亚比米勒和他的军长非各,就起程回非利士地去了。 33 亚伯拉罕在别是巴栽了一棵垂丝柳树,就在那里求告耶和华永活的 神的名。 34 亚伯拉罕在非利士人的地方寄居了许多日子。

以撒出生
21 耶和華照著以前所說的,眷顧撒拉;耶和華按著他的應許,給撒拉作成。 2 亞伯拉罕年老的時候,撒拉懷了孕,到了 神應許的日期,就給亞伯拉罕生了一個兒子。 3 亞伯拉罕給撒拉為他所生的兒子,起名叫以撒。 4 亞伯拉罕的兒子以撒生下來第八天,亞伯拉罕就照著 神吩咐他的,給以撒行了割禮。 5 他兒子以撒出生的時候,亞伯拉罕正一百歲。 6 撒拉說:“ 神使我歡笑,凡聽見的,也必為我歡笑。” 7 又說:“誰能告訴亞伯拉罕,撒拉要乳養兒女呢?在他年老的時候,我竟給他生了一個兒子。”
夏甲與以實瑪利母子被逐
8 孩子漸漸長大,就斷了奶。以撒斷奶的那天,亞伯拉罕擺設盛大的筵席。 9 撒拉看見那埃及人夏甲給亞伯拉罕所生的兒子在嬉戲, 10 就對亞伯拉罕說:“把這婢女和她的兒子趕出去,因為這婢女的兒子不能和我的兒子以撒一同承受產業。” 11 亞伯拉罕因他的兒子而非常煩惱。 12 神對亞伯拉罕說:“不要因這童子和你的婢女而煩惱。撒拉對你說的話,你都要聽從;因為以撒生的,才可以稱為你的後裔。 13 至於這婢女的兒子,我也要使他成為一國,因為他是你的後裔。”
14 亞伯拉罕清早起來,拿餅和一皮袋水,給了夏甲,放在她的肩膀上,又把孩子交給她,就打發她離開。夏甲走了,在別是巴的曠野飄蕩。 15 皮袋裡的水用盡了,夏甲就把孩子撇在一棵小樹底下。 16 然後自己走開,在離開約有一箭之遠的地方,相對而坐,說:“我不忍眼看孩子死去。”就相對坐著,放聲大哭。 17 神聽見了童子的聲音,他的使者就從天上呼叫夏甲,對她說:“夏甲啊,你為甚麼這樣呢?不要害怕,因為孩子在那裡所發的聲音 神已經聽見了。 18 起來,扶起孩子,盡力保護他;因為我要使他成為大國。” 19 神開了夏甲的眼睛,她就看見一口水井。她去把皮袋盛滿了水,就給孩子喝。 20 神與孩子同在,他漸漸長大,住在曠野,成了個弓箭手。 21 他住在巴蘭的曠野,他的母親從埃及地給他娶了一個妻子。
亞伯拉罕與亞比米勒立約
22 那時,亞比米勒和他的軍長非各對亞伯拉罕說:“在你所作的一切事上, 神都與你同在。 23 現在你要在這裡指著 神對我起誓,你不會以詭詐待我和我的子子孫孫。我怎樣恩待了你,你也要怎樣恩待我和你寄居的地方。” 24 亞伯拉罕回答:“我願意起誓。” 25 亞伯拉罕因亞比米勒的僕人強佔了一口水井,就指責亞比米勒。 26 亞比米勒說:“誰作了這事,我不知道,你也沒有告訴我;我現在才聽見。” 27 於是亞伯拉罕牽了牛羊來,送給亞比米勒,二人就彼此立約。 28 亞伯拉罕把羊群中的七隻母羊羔,放在另外一處。 29 亞比米勒問亞伯拉罕:“你把這七隻母羊羔放在另外一處,是甚麼意思呢?” 30 亞伯拉罕回答:“意思就是:你從我手裡接受這七隻母羊羔,好作我挖了這口井的證據。” 31 因此那地方名叫別是巴,因為他們二人在那裡起了誓。 32 他們在別是巴立約以後,亞比米勒和他的軍長非各,就起程回非利士地去了。 33 亞伯拉罕在別是巴栽了一棵垂絲柳樹,就在那裡求告耶和華永活的 神的名。 34 亞伯拉罕在非利士人的地方寄居了許多日子。
Genesis 21
New International Version
The Birth of Isaac
21 Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah(A) as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised.(B) 2 Sarah became pregnant and bore a son(C) to Abraham in his old age,(D) at the very time God had promised him.(E) 3 Abraham gave the name Isaac[a](F) to the son Sarah bore him. 4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him,(G) as God commanded him. 5 Abraham was a hundred years old(H) when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter,(I) and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” 7 And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”(J)
Hagar and Ishmael Sent Away
8 The child grew and was weaned,(K) and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast. 9 But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham(L) was mocking,(M) 10 and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman(N) and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.”(O)
11 The matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son.(P) 12 But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring[b] will be reckoned.(Q) 13 I will make the son of the slave into a nation(R) also, because he is your offspring.”
14 Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar.(S) He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba.(T)
15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she[c] began to sob.(U)
17 God heard the boy crying,(V) and the angel of God(W) called to Hagar from heaven(X) and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid;(Y) God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. 18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.(Z)”
19 Then God opened her eyes(AA) and she saw a well of water.(AB) So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
20 God was with the boy(AC) as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became an archer. 21 While he was living in the Desert of Paran,(AD) his mother got a wife for him(AE) from Egypt.
The Treaty at Beersheba
22 At that time Abimelek(AF) and Phicol the commander of his forces(AG) said to Abraham, “God is with you in everything you do.(AH) 23 Now swear(AI) to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or my descendants.(AJ) Show to me and the country where you now reside as a foreigner the same kindness I have shown to you.”(AK)
24 Abraham said, “I swear it.”
25 Then Abraham complained to Abimelek about a well of water that Abimelek’s servants had seized.(AL) 26 But Abimelek said, “I don’t know who has done this. You did not tell me, and I heard about it only today.”
27 So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelek, and the two men made a treaty.(AM) 28 Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs from the flock, 29 and Abimelek asked Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs you have set apart by themselves?”
30 He replied, “Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness(AN) that I dug this well.(AO)”
31 So that place was called Beersheba,[d](AP) because the two men swore an oath(AQ) there.
32 After the treaty(AR) had been made at Beersheba,(AS) Abimelek and Phicol the commander of his forces(AT) returned to the land of the Philistines.(AU) 33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree(AV) in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the Lord,(AW) the Eternal God.(AX) 34 And Abraham stayed in the land of the Philistines(AY) for a long time.

Genesis 21
King James Version
21 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
26 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
30 And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
