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 Abram’s wife bore him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

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

And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing: I pray you, go in to my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

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

And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelled ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his 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 Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

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, My wrong be on 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.

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

But Abram said to 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.

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 found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

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

And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, from where came you? and where will you go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

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 your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.

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 the angel of the LORD said to her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, that 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 the angel of the LORD said to her, Behold, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael; because the LORD has heard your 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

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 brothers.

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 to her, You God see me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that sees 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

Why the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

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 Hagar bore Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bore, Ishmael.

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

And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
