标题: 创世记-Genesis第16章 [打印本页] 作者: 乐园李老师 时间: 2012-12-27 10:04 标题: 创世记-Genesis第16章 创16:1 亚伯兰的妻子撒莱不给他生儿女。撒莱有一个使女，名叫夏甲，是埃及人。
Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar;
创16:2 撒莱对亚伯兰说，耶和华使我不能生育。求你和我的使女同房，或者我可以因她得孩子（得孩子原文作被建立）。亚伯兰听从了撒莱的话。
so she said to Abram, 'The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her.' Abram agreed to what Sarai said.
创16:3 于是亚伯兰的妻子撒莱将使女埃及人夏甲给了丈夫为妾。那时亚伯兰在迦南已经住了十年。
So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife.
创16:4 亚伯兰与夏甲同房，夏甲就怀了孕。她见自己有孕，就小看她的主母。
He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
创16:5 撒莱对亚伯兰说，我因你受屈。我将我的使女放在你怀中，她见自己有了孕，就小看我。愿耶和华在你我中间判断。
Then Sarai said to Abram, 'You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my servant in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.'
创16:6 亚伯兰对撒莱说，使女在你手下，你可以随意待她。撒莱苦待她，她就从撒莱面前逃走了。
'Your servant is in your hands,' Abram said. 'Do with her whatever you think best.' Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.
创16:7 耶和华的使者在旷野书珥路上的水泉旁遇见她，
The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.
创16:8 对她说，撒莱的使女夏甲，你从哪里来，要往哪里去。夏甲说，我从我的主母撒莱面前逃出来。
And he said, 'Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?' 'I'm running away from my mistress Sarai,' she answered.
创16:9 耶和华的使者对她说，你回到你主母那里，服在她手下。
Then the angel of the Lord told her, 'Go back to your mistress and submit to her.'
创16:10 又说，我必使你的后裔极其繁多，甚至不可胜数。
The angel added, 'I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count.'
创16:11 并说，你如今怀孕要生一个儿子，可以给他起名叫以实玛利，因为耶和华听见了你的苦情。（以实玛利就是神听见的意思）
The angel of the Lord also said to her: 'You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery.
创16:12 他为人必像野驴。他的手要攻打人，人的手也要攻打他。他必住在众弟兄的东边。
He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.'
创16:13 夏甲就称那对她说话的耶和华为看顾人的神。因而说，在这里我也看见那看顾我的吗？
She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: 'You are the God who sees me,' for she said, 'I have now seen the One who sees me.'
创16:14 所以这井名叫庇耳拉海莱。这井正在加低斯和巴列中间。
That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi ; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
创16:15 后来夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个儿子。亚伯兰给他起名叫以实玛利。
So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.
创16:16 夏甲给亚伯兰生以实玛利的时候，亚伯兰年八十六岁。
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
