< Genesis 16 >

1 Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar.
アブラムの妻サライ子女を生ざりき彼に一人の侍女ありしがエジプト人にして其名をハガルと曰り
2 [So one day] Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So (sleep with/have sex with) [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said.
サライ、アブラムに言けるは視よヱホバわが子を生むことを禁めたまひければ請ふ我が侍女の所に入れ我彼よりして子女を得ることあらんとアブラム、サライの言を聽いれたり
3 So Abram (slept with/had sex with) Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan [land]. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife.
アブラムの妻サライ其侍女なるエジプト人ハガルを取て之を其夫アブラムに與へて妻となさしめたり是はアブラムがカナンの地に十年住みたる後なりき
4 He (slept with/had sex with) [EUP] Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress Sarai.
是においてアブラム、ハガルの所に入るハガル遂に孕みければ己の孕めるを見て其女主を藐視たり
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to me!”
サライ、アブラムに言けるはわが蒙れる害は汝に歸すべし我わが侍女を汝の懷に與へたるに彼己の孕るを見て我を藐視ぐ願はヱホバ我と汝の間の事を鞫きたまへ
6 So Abram said to Sarai, “[You listen to me]! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai.
アブラム、サライに言けるは視よ汝の侍女は汝の手の中にあり汝の目に善と見ゆる所を彼に爲すべしサライ乃ち彼を苦めければ彼サライの面を避て逃たり
7 An angel of Yahweh found her as she was near a spring of water in the desert. It was the spring that was alongside the road to Shur.
ヱホバの使者曠野の泉の旁即ちシユルの路にある泉の旁にて彼に遭ひて
8 He said to her, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I have run away from Sarai, my mistress.”
言けるはサライの侍女ハガルよ汝何處より來れるや又何處に往や彼言けるは我は女主サライの面をさけて逃るなり
9 The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
ヱホバの使者彼に言けるは汝の女主の許に返り身を其手に任すべし
10 The angel also said to her, “I will enable you to bear so many descendants that no one will be able to count them!”
ヱホバの使者又彼に言ひけるは我大に汝の子孫を増し其數を衆多して數ふることあたはざらしめん
11 The angel also said to her, “[Listen to this!] You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, [which means ‘God hears]’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.
ヱホバの使者又彼に言けるは汝孕めり男子を生まん其名をイシマエル(神聽知)と名くべしヱホバ汝の艱難を聽知したまへばなり
12 But your son will be as uncontrollable as a wild donkey [MET]. He will oppose everyone, and everyone will oppose him [MTY]. He will live far away from his relatives [SYN].”
彼は野驢馬の如き人とならん其手は諸の人に敵し諸の人の手はこれに敵すべし彼は其諸の兄弟の東に住んと
13 Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “(It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?)” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’.
ハガル己に諭したまへるヱホバの名をアタエルロイ(汝は見たまふ神なり)とよべり彼いふ我視たる後尚生るやと
14 That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, [which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’!] It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
是をもて其井はベエルラハイロイ(我を見る活る者の井)と呼ばる是はカデシとベレデの間にあり
15 So Hagar later gave birth to a son for Abram, and she gave to her son the name Ishmael.
ハガル、アブラムの男子を生めりアブラム、ハガルの生める其子の名をイシマエルと名づけたり
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael.
ハガル、イシマエルをアブラムに生める時アブラムは八十六歳なりき
