創世記 16
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
16 亞伯蘭的妻子撒萊不給他生兒女。撒萊有一個使女，名叫夏甲，是埃及人。 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[a]。」亞伯蘭聽從了撒萊的話。 3 於是亞伯蘭的妻子撒萊將使女埃及人夏甲給了丈夫為妾，那時亞伯蘭在迦南已經住了十年。
撒萊苦待夏甲
4 亞伯蘭與夏甲同房，夏甲就懷了孕。她見自己有孕，就小看她的主母。 5 撒萊對亞伯蘭說：「我因你受屈！我將我的使女放在你懷中，她見自己有了孕，就小看我。願耶和華在你我中間判斷。」 6 亞伯蘭對撒萊說：「使女在你手下，你可以隨意待她。」撒萊苦待她，她就從撒萊面前逃走了。
7 耶和華的使者在曠野書珥路上的水泉旁遇見她， 8 對她說：「撒萊的使女夏甲，你從哪裡來？要往哪裡去？」夏甲說：「我從我的主母撒萊面前逃出來。」 9 耶和華的使者對她說：「你回到你主母那裡，服在她手下。」 10 又說：「我必使你的後裔極其繁多，甚至不可勝數。」 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[b]，因為耶和華聽見了你的苦情。 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。」 13 夏甲就稱那對她說話的耶和華為「看顧人的神」，因而說：「在這裡我也看見那看顧我的嗎？」 14 所以這井名叫庇耳拉海萊。這井正在加低斯和巴列中間。
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。 16 夏甲給亞伯蘭生以實瑪利的時候，亞伯蘭年八十六歲。
Genesis 16
Lexham English Bible
Sarai and Hagar
16 Now[a] Sarai, the wife of Abram, had borne him no children. And she had a female Egyptian servant, and her name was Hagar. 2 And Sarai said to Abram, “Look, please, Yahweh has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my servant; perhaps I will have children by her.”[b] And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3 Then[c] Sarai, the wife of Abram, took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband as his wife. 4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she[d] saw that she had conceived, then her mistress grew small in her eyes. 5 And Sarai said to Abram, “may my harm be upon you. I had my servant sleep with you,[e] and when she saw that she had conceived, she no longer respected me.[f] May Yahweh judge between me and you!” 6 And Abram said to Sarai, “Look, your servant is under your authority.[g] Do to her that which is good in your eyes.” And Sarai mistreated her, and she[h] fled from her presence.
Hagar and the Angel of Yahweh
7 And the angel of Yahweh found her at a spring of water in the wilderness, at the spring by the road of Shur. 8 And he said to Hagar, the servant of Sarai, “From where[i] have you come, and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of Sarai my mistress.” 9 Then[j] the angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit yourself under her authority.”[k] 10 And the angel of Yahweh said to her, “I will greatly multiply[l] your offspring, so that they cannot be counted for their abundance.” 11 And the angel of Yahweh said to her:
“Behold, you are pregnant
and shall have a son.
And you shall call his name Ishmael,
for Yahweh has listened to your suffering.
12 And he shall be a wild donkey of a man,
his hand will be against everyone,
and the hand of everyone will be against him,
and he will live in hostility with all his brothers.”[m]
13 So[n] she called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are El-Roi,”[o] for she said, “Here I have seen after he who sees me.” 14 Therefore the well was called Beer-Lahai-Roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. 15 And Hagar had a child for Abram, a son. And Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore to him, Ishmael. 16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
