Genesis 16
1 But Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children, —she had, however, an Egyptian handmaid, 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 So then Sarai said unto Abram Behold, I pray thee, Yahweh hath restrained me, from bearing, go in I pray thee unto, my handmaid, peradventure I may be built up from, 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 So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian. her handmaid, at the end of ten years of Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband, to be to him as a 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, lightly esteemed, was her lady, 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 Then said Sarai unto Abram: My wrong, is, on thee! I, gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and when she seeth that she hath conceived, then am I lightly esteemed in her eyes Yahweh judge betwixt me and her.
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 And Abram said unto Sarai, Lo! thy handmaid, is in thy hand, do to her what is good in thine eyes. So Sarai humbled her, and 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 messenger of Yahweh found her by the fountain of water in the desert, —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 So he said Hagar! handmaid of Sarai! Whence hast thou come, and whither wouldst thou go? And she said, From the face of Sarai, my lady, am, I, fleeing.
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 messenger of Yahweh said to her, Return unto thy lady, —and humble thyself 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 messenger of Yahweh said to her, I will, greatly multiply, thy seed—so 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 messenger of Yahweh said to her, Behold thee! with child, and about bearing a son—and thou shalt call his name Ishmael ["God hearkeneth"] for Yahweh hath hearkened unto thy humiliation.
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 But, he, will be a wild ass of a man, his hand, against every one, and every one’s hand against him—yet, in presence of all his brethren, shall he have his habitation.
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 Yahweh, who had spoken unto her, Thou GOD of vision! For she said. Do I even here, retain my vision after a vision?
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 On this account, is the well called, the well of the life of vision, lo! 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 So Hagar bare to Abram a son, —and Abram called the name of his son, whom 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 Now, Abram, was eighty—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。
