¹And Sarai, Abram`s wife, hath not borne to him, and she hath an handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name [is] Hagar;

¹夏甲与以实玛利

²and Sarai saith unto Abram, `Lo, I pray thee, Jehovah hath restrained me from bearing, go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; perhaps I am built up from her;` and Abram hearkeneth to the voice of Sarai.

²撒莱对亚伯兰说：“请看，耶和华使我不能生育，求你去亲近我的婢女，或者我可以从她得孩子。”亚伯兰就听从了撒莱的话。

³And Sarai, Abram`s wife, taketh Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, at the end of the tenth year of Abram`s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and giveth her to Abram her husband, to him for a wife,

³亚伯兰在迦南地住满了十年，他的妻子撒莱，把自己的婢女埃及人夏甲，给了她的丈夫亚伯兰为妾。

⁴and he goeth in unto Hagar, and she conceiveth, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and her mistress is lightly esteemed in her eyes.

⁴亚伯兰与夏甲亲近，夏甲就怀了孕。夏甲见自己有了孕，就轻看她的主母。

⁵And Sarai saith unto Abram, `My violence [is] for thee; I — I have given mine handmaid into thy bosom, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and I am lightly esteemed in her eyes; Jehovah doth judge between me and thee.`

⁵撒莱对亚伯兰说：“我因你受屈；我把我的婢女送到你的怀中，她见自己有了孕，就轻看我。愿耶和华在你我之间主持公道。”

⁶And Abram saith unto Sarai, `Lo, thine handmaid [is] in thine hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes;` and Sarai afflicted her, and she fleeth from her presence.

⁶亚伯兰对撒莱说：“你的婢女在你手中，你看怎样好，就怎样待她吧。”于是撒莱虐待夏甲，她就从撒莱面前逃走了。

⁷And a messenger of Jehovah findeth her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way [to] Shur,

⁷耶和华的使者在旷野的水泉旁边，就是在到书珥路上的水旁边，遇到了她，

⁸and he saith, `Hagar, Sarai`s handmaid, whence hast thou come, and whither dost thou go?` and she saith, `From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.`

⁸就问她：“撒莱的婢女夏甲啊，你从哪里来？要到哪里去？”夏甲回答：“我从我的主母撒莱面前逃出来。”

⁹And the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Turn back unto thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hands;`

⁹耶和华的使者对她说：“回到你主母那里去，服在她的手下！”

¹⁰and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Multiplying I multiply thy seed, and it is not numbered from multitude;`

¹⁰耶和华的使者又对她说：“我必使你的后裔人丁兴旺，多到不可胜数。”

¹¹and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Behold thou [art] conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine affliction;

¹¹耶和华的使者再对她说：“看哪，你已经怀了孕，你要生一个儿子；你要给他起名叫以实玛利，因为耶和华听见了你的苦情。

¹²and he is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and every one`s hand against him — and before the face of all his brethren he dwelleth.`

¹²他将来为人，必像野驴。他的手要攻打人，人的手也要攻打他。他必住在众兄弟的东面。”

¹³And she calleth the name of Jehovah who is speaking unto her, `Thou [art], O God, my beholder;` for she said, `Even here have I looked behind my beholder?`

¹³于是，夏甲给那对她说话的耶和华，起名叫“你是看顾人的　神”，因为她说：“在这里我不是也看见了那位看顾人的吗？”

¹⁴therefore hath one called the well, `The well of the Living One, my beholder;` lo, between Kadesh and Bered.

¹⁴因此，这井名叫庇耳．拉海．莱，是在加低斯和巴列之间。

¹⁵And Hagar beareth to Abram a son; and Abram calleth the name of his son, whom Hagar hath borne, Ishmael;

¹⁵夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个儿子，亚伯兰就给夏甲所生的儿子，起名叫以实玛利。

¹⁶and Abram [is] a son of eighty and six years in Hagar`s bearing Ishmael to Abram.

¹⁶亚伯兰八十六岁的时候，夏甲给他生了以实玛利。
