創世記 16
1 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
Now Sarai the wife of Abram, had brought forth no children; but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar,
2 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
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 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
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 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
And he went in to her. But she, perceiving that she was with child, despised her mistress.
5 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
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 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
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 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
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 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
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 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
And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand.
10 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
And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 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
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 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
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 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
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 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
Therefore she called that well, The well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad.
15 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
And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael.
16 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
Abram was four score and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael.
