Genesis 16
1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
亞巴郎的妻子撒辣依，沒有給他生孩子，她有個埃及婢女，名叫哈加爾。
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing: I pray you, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
撒辣依就對亞巴郎說：「請看，上主既使我不能生育，你可去親近我的婢女，或許我能由她得到孩子。」亞巴郎就聽了撒辣依的話。
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.
亞巴郎住在客納罕地十年後，亞巴郎的妻子撒辣依將自己的埃及婢女哈加爾，給了丈夫亞巴郎做妾。
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.
亞巴郎自從同哈加爾親近，哈加爾就懷了孕；她見自己懷了孕；就看不起自己的主母。
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon you: I have given my maid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and you.
撒辣依對亞巴郎說：「我受羞辱是你的過錯。我將我的婢女放在你懷裏，她一見自己懷了孕，便看不起我。願上主在我與你之間來判斷! 」
6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand; do to her as it pleases you. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
亞巴郎對撒辣依說：「你的婢女是在你手中；你看怎樣好，就怎樣待她罷! 」於是撒辣依就虐待她，她便由撒辣依面前逃跑了。
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.
上主的使者在曠野的水泉旁，即在往叔爾道上的水泉旁，遇見了她，
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence came you? and where will you go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
對她說：「撒辣依的婢女哈加爾! 你從那裏來，要往那裏去﹖」她答說：「我由我主母撒辣依那裏逃出來的。」
9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.
上主的使者對她說：「你要回到你主母那裏，屈服在她手下。」
10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
上主的使者又對她說：「我要使你的後裔繁衍，多得不可勝數。」
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael; because the LORD has heard your affliction.
上主的使者再對她說：「看，你已懷孕，要生個兒子；要給他起名叫依市瑪耳，因為上主俯聽了你的苦訴。
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.
他將來為人，像頭野驢；他要反對眾人，眾人也要反對他；他要衝著自己的眾兄弟支搭帳幕。」
13 And she called the name of the LORD that spoke unto her, You God see me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that sees me?
哈加爾遂給那對她說話的上主起名叫「你是看顧人的天主，」因為她說：「我不是也看見了那看顧人的天主嗎﹖」
14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
為此她給那井起名叫拉海洛依井。這井是在卡德士與貝勒得之間。
15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
哈加爾給亞巴郎生了一個兒子，亞巴郎給哈加爾所生的兒子，起名叫依市瑪耳。
16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
哈加爾給亞巴郎生依市瑪耳時，亞巴郎已八十六歲。
