¹以撒出生

¹And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;

²亚伯拉罕年老的时候，撒拉怀了孕，到了　神应许的日期，就给亚伯拉罕生了一个儿子。

²and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;

³亚伯拉罕给撒拉为他所生的儿子，起名叫以撒。

³and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him — Isaac;

⁴亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒生下来第八天，亚伯拉罕就照着　神吩咐他的，给以撒行了割礼。

⁴and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.

⁵他儿子以撒出生的时候，亚伯拉罕正一百岁。

⁵And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,

⁶撒拉说：“　神使我欢笑，凡听见的，也必为我欢笑。”

⁶and Sarah saith, `God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.`

⁷又说：“谁能告诉亚伯拉罕，撒拉要乳养儿女呢？在他年老的时候，我竟给他生了一个儿子。”

⁷She saith also, `Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?`

⁸夏甲与以实玛利母子被逐孩子渐渐长大，就断了奶。以撒断奶的那天，亚伯拉罕摆设盛大的筵席。

⁸And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac`s being weaned;

⁹撒拉看见那埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子在嬉戏，就对亚伯拉罕说：

⁹and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,

¹⁰“把这婢女和她的儿子赶出去，因为这婢女的儿子不能和我的儿子以撒一同承受产业。”

¹⁰and she saith to Abraham, `Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with Isaac.`

¹¹亚伯拉罕因他的儿子而非常烦恼。

¹¹And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son`s sake;

¹²　神对亚伯拉罕说：“不要因这童子和你的婢女而烦恼。撒拉对你说的话，你都要听从；因为以撒生的，才可以称为你的后裔。

¹²and God saith unto Abraham, `Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.

¹³至于这婢女的儿子，我也要使他成为一国，因为他也是你的后裔。”

¹³As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.`

¹⁴亚伯拉罕清早起来，拿饼和一皮袋水，给了夏甲，放在她的肩膀上，又把孩子交给她，就打发她离开。夏甲走了，在别是巴的旷野飘荡。

¹⁴And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;

¹⁵皮袋里的水用尽了，夏甲就把孩子撇在一棵小树底下。

¹⁵and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.

¹⁶然后自己走开，在离开约有一箭之远的地方，相对而坐，说：“我不忍眼看孩子死去。”就相对坐着，放声大哭。

¹⁶And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, `Let me not look on the death of the lad;` and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.

¹⁷　神听见了童子的声音，他的使者就从天上呼叫夏甲，对她说：“夏甲啊，你为什么这样呢？不要害怕，因为孩子在那里所发的声音　神已经听见了。

¹⁷And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, `What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];

¹⁸起来，扶起孩子，尽力保护他；因为我要使他成为大国。”

¹⁸rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.`

¹⁹　神开了夏甲的眼睛，她就看见一口水井。她去把皮袋盛满了水，就给孩子喝。

¹⁹And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;

²⁰　神与孩子同在，他渐渐长大，住在旷野，成了个弓箭手。

²⁰and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;

²¹他住在巴兰的旷野，他的母亲从埃及地给他娶了一个妻子。

²¹and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.

²²亚伯拉罕与亚比米勒立约那时，亚比米勒和他的军长非各对亚伯拉罕说：“在你所作的一切事上，　神都与你同在。

²²And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, `God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;

²³现在你要在这里指着　神对我起誓，你不会以诡诈待我和我的子子孙孙。我怎样恩待了你，你也要怎样恩待我和你寄居的地方。”

²³and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.`

²⁴亚伯拉罕回答：“我愿意起誓。”

²⁴And Abraham saith, `I — I do swear.`

²⁵亚伯拉罕因亚比米勒的仆人强占了一口水井，就指责亚比米勒。

²⁵And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech`s servants have taken violently away,

²⁶亚比米勒说：“谁作了这事，我不知道，你都没有告诉我；我现在才听见。”

²⁶and Abimelech saith, `I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.`

²⁷于是亚伯拉罕牵了牛羊来，送给亚比米勒，二人就彼此立约。

²⁷And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;

²⁸亚伯拉罕把羊群中的七只母羊羔，放在另外一处。

²⁸and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.

²⁹亚比米勒问亚伯拉罕：“你把这七只母羊羔放在另外一处，是什么意思呢？”

²⁹And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, `What [are] they — these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?`

³⁰亚伯拉罕回答：“意思就是：你从我手里接受这七只母羊羔，好作我挖了这口井的证据。”

³⁰And he saith, `For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;`

³¹因此那地方名叫别是巴，因为他们二人在那里起了誓。

³¹therefore hath he called that place `Beer-Sheba,` for there have both of them sworn.

³²他们在别是巴立约以后，亚比米勒和他的军长非各，就起程回非利士地去了。

³²And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;

³³亚伯拉罕在别是巴栽了一棵垂丝柳树，就在那里求告耶和华永活的　神的名。

³³and [Abraham] planteth a tamarask in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;

³⁴亚伯拉罕在非利士人的地方寄居了许多日子。

³⁴and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
