创世记 16
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
夏甲與以實瑪利
16 亞伯蘭的妻子撒萊，沒有為他生孩子。撒萊卻有一個婢女，是埃及人，名叫夏甲。 2 撒萊對亞伯蘭說：“請看，耶和華使我不能生育，求你去親近我的婢女，或者我可以從她得孩子。”亞伯蘭就聽從了撒萊的話。 3 亞伯蘭在迦南地住滿了十年，他的妻子撒萊，把自己的婢女埃及人夏甲，給了她的丈夫亞伯蘭為妾。 4 亞伯蘭與夏甲親近，夏甲就懷了孕。夏甲見自己有了孕，就輕看她的主母。 5 撒萊對亞伯蘭說：“我因你受屈；我把我的婢女送到你的懷中，她見自己有了孕，就輕看我。願耶和華在你我之間主持公道。” 6 亞伯蘭對撒萊說：“你的婢女在你手中，你看怎樣好，就怎樣待她吧。”於是撒萊虐待夏甲，她就從撒萊面前逃走了。
7 耶和華的使者在曠野的水泉旁邊，就是在到書珥路上的水旁邊，遇到了她， 8 就問她：“撒萊的婢女夏甲啊，你從哪裡來？要到哪裡去？”夏甲回答：“我從我的主母撒萊面前逃出來。” 9 耶和華的使者對她說：“回到你主母那裡去，服在她的手下！” 10 耶和華的使者又對她說：“我必使你的後裔人丁興旺，多到不可勝數。” 11 耶和華的使者再對她說：
“看哪，你已經懷了孕，
你要生一個兒子；
你要給他起名叫以實瑪利，
因為耶和華聽見了你的苦情。
12 他將來為人，
必像野驢。
他的手要攻打人，
人的手也要攻打他。
他必住在眾兄弟的東面。”
13 於是，夏甲給那對她說話的耶和華，起名叫“你是看顧人的 神”，因為她說：“在這裡我不是也看見了那位看顧人的嗎？” 14 因此，這井名叫庇耳．拉海．萊，是在加低斯和巴列之間。
15 夏甲給亞伯蘭生了一個兒子，亞伯蘭就給夏甲所生的兒子，起名叫以實瑪利。 16 亞伯蘭八十六歲的時候，夏甲給他生了以實瑪利。
Genesis 16
King James Version
16 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee.
6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
7 And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
13 And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to 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.
