Sarai's Plan
16 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had not borne him a child, but she had an Egyptian slave woman whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai said to Abram, "See now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Please have relations with my slave woman; perhaps I will obtain children through her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3 And so after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram's wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her slave woman, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife. 4 Then he had relations with Hagar, and she conceived; and when Hagar became aware that she had conceived, her mistress was insignificant in her sight. 5 So Sarai said to Abram, "May the wrong done to me be upon you! I put my slave woman into your arms, but when she saw that she had conceived, I was insignificant in her sight. May the Lord judge between you and me."
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，或者我可以因他得孩子。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。4 亞伯蘭與夏甲同房，夏甲就懷了孕，他見自己有孕，就小看他的主母。5 撒萊對亞伯蘭說，我因你受屈，我將我的使女放在你懷中，他見自己有了孕就小看我，願耶和華在你我中間判斷。
Hagar Flees to the Wilderness
6 But Abram said to Sarai, "Look, your slave woman is in your power; do to her what is good in your sight." So Sarai treated her harshly, and she fled from her presence.
7 Now the angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. 8 He said, "Hagar, Sarai's slave woman, from where have you come, and where are you going?" And she said, "I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai." 9 So the angel of the Lord said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit to her authority."
6 亞伯蘭對撒萊說，使女在你手下，你可以隨意待他，撒萊苦待他，他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他，8 對他說，撒萊的使女夏甲，你從那裡來，要往那裡去，夏甲說，我從我的主母撒萊面前逃出來。9 耶和華的使者對他說，你回到你主母那裡，服在他手下。
The Angel's Promise
10 The angel of the Lord also said to her, "I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count." 11 The angel of the Lord said to her further,
"Behold, you are pregnant, And you will give birth to a son; And you shall name him Ishmael, Because the Lord has heard your affliction. 12 But he will be a wild donkey of a man; His hand will be against everyone, And everyone's hand will be against him; And he will live in defiance of all his brothers."
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，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。
The Well and the Birth of Ishmael
13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, "You are a God who sees me"; for she said, "Have I even seen Him here and lived after He saw me?" 14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 So Hagar bore a son to Abram; and Abram named his son, to whom Hagar gave birth, Ishmael. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him.
13 夏甲就稱那對他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麼。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。
