創世記 16
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
夏甲與以實瑪利
16 亞伯蘭的妻子撒萊沒有生育，她有個婢女名叫夏甲，是埃及人。 2 撒萊對亞伯蘭說：「耶和華不讓我生育，請你與我的婢女同房，也許我可以藉著她生子立後。」亞伯蘭同意了撒萊的話。 3 於是，撒萊把埃及婢女夏甲給亞伯蘭做妾。那時亞伯蘭已經在迦南住了十年。 4 亞伯蘭與夏甲同房，她就懷了孕。夏甲知道自己懷了孕，就輕視女主人撒萊。 5 撒萊對亞伯蘭說：「我受氣都是因為你。我把婢女放在你懷裡，她仗著自己懷了孕就輕視我，願耶和華在你我之間主持公道。」 6 亞伯蘭對撒萊說：「婢女在你手中，隨你處置。」於是，撒萊苦待夏甲，夏甲就逃走了。
7 耶和華的天使在曠野中通往書珥之路的水泉旁找到了夏甲， 8 便問她：「撒萊的婢女夏甲，你從哪裡來？要到哪裡去？」她回答說：「我是從女主人撒萊那裡逃出來的。」 9 耶和華的天使對她說：「你要回到女主人那裡順服她。」 10 又說：「我必使你的後代多得不可勝數。」 11 接著又說：「你現在懷了孕，將來會生一個男孩，你要給他取名叫以實瑪利[a]，因為耶和華已經聽見你痛苦的哀聲。 12 這孩子性情必像野驢，他要跟人作對，人也要跟他作對。他必與他所有的弟兄為敵。」 13 夏甲稱對她說話的耶和華為「看顧人的上帝」，她說：「我竟然在這裡看見了看顧我的上帝。」 14 因此，她稱加低斯和巴列之間的那口井為庇耳·拉海·萊[b]。
15 後來夏甲為亞伯蘭生了一個兒子，亞伯蘭給他取名叫以實瑪利。 16 夏甲生以實瑪利時，亞伯蘭八十六歲。
Genesis 16
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
16 Now Sarai the wife of Abram, had brought forth no children; but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar,
2 She said to her husband: Behold, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in unto my handmaid, it may be I may have children of her at least. And when he agreed to her request,
3 She took Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, ten years after they first dwelt in the land of Chanaan, and gave her to her husband to wife.
4 And he went in to her. But she, perceiving that she was with child, despised her mistress.
5 And Sarai said to Abram: Thou dost unjustly with me: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and she perceiving herself to be with child, despiseth me. The Lord judge between me and thee.
6 And Abram made answer, and said to her: Behold thy handmaid is in thy own hand, use her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai afflicted her, she ran away.
7 And the angel of the Lord having found her, by a fountain of water in the wilderness, which is in the way to Sur in the desert,
8 He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she answered: I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.
9 And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand.
10 And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
12 He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men's hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.
13 And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her: Thou the God who hast seen me. For she said: Verily here have I seen the hinder parts of him that seeth me.
14 Therefore she called that well, The well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad.
15 And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael.
16 Abram was fourscore and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael.
