Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
1耶和華按着先前的話眷顧 撒拉 ，便照他所說的給 撒拉 成就。
2So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
2當 亞伯拉罕 年老的時候， 撒拉 懷了孕；到上帝所說的日期，就給 亞伯拉罕 生了一個兒子。
3And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
3亞伯拉罕 給 撒拉 所生的兒子起名叫 以撒 。
4When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
4以撒 生下來第八日， 亞伯拉罕 照着上帝所吩咐的，給 以撒 行了割禮。
5Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
5他兒子 以撒 生的時候， 亞伯拉罕 年一百歲。
6Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
6撒拉 說：「上帝使我喜笑，凡聽見的必與我一同喜笑」；
7She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
7又說：「誰能預先對 亞伯拉罕 說『 撒拉 要乳養嬰孩』呢？因為在他年老的時候，我給他生了一個兒子。」
8So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
8孩子漸長，就斷了奶。 以撒 斷奶的日子， 亞伯拉罕 設擺豐盛的筵席。
9But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
9當時， 撒拉 看見 埃及 人 夏甲 給 亞伯拉罕 所生的兒子戲笑，
10and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”
10就對 亞伯拉罕 說：「你把這使女和她兒子趕出去！因為這使女的兒子不可與我的兒子 以撒 一同承受產業。」
11Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
11亞伯拉罕 因他兒子的緣故很憂愁。
12But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.
12上帝對 亞伯拉罕 說：「你不必為這童子和你的使女憂愁。凡 撒拉 對你說的話，你都該聽從；因為從 以撒 生的，才要稱為你的後裔。
13But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
13至於使女的兒子，我也必使他 的後裔 成立一國，因為他是你所生的。」
14Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
14亞伯拉罕 清早起來，拿餅和一皮袋水，給了 夏甲 ，搭在她的肩上，又把孩子 交給她 ，打發她走。 夏甲 就走了，在 別是巴 的曠野走迷了路。
15When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
15皮袋的水用盡了， 夏甲 就把孩子撇在小樹底下，
16Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I cannot bear to watch the boy die!” And as she sat nearby, she lifted up her voice and wept.
16自己走開約有一箭之遠，相對而坐，說：「我不忍見孩子死」，就相對而坐，放聲大哭。
17Then God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he lies.
17上帝聽見童子的聲音；上帝的使者從天上呼叫 夏甲 說：「 夏甲 ，你為何這樣呢？不要害怕，上帝已經聽見童子的聲音了。
18Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
18起來！把童子抱在懷中，我必使他 的後裔 成為大國。」
19Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
19上帝使 夏甲 的眼睛明亮，她就看見一口水井，便去將皮袋盛滿了水，給童子喝。
20And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
20上帝保佑童子，他就漸長，住在曠野，成了弓箭手。
21And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
21他住在 巴蘭 的曠野；他母親從 埃及 地給他娶了一個妻子。
22At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
22當那時候， 亞比米勒 同他軍長 非各 對 亞伯拉罕 說：「凡你所行的事都有上帝的保佑。
23Now, therefore, swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
23我願你如今在這裏指着上帝對我起誓，不要欺負我與我的兒子，並我的子孫。我怎樣厚待了你，你也要照樣厚待我與你所寄居這地的民。」
24And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
24亞伯拉罕 說：「我情願起誓。」
25But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
25從前， 亞比米勒 的僕人霸佔了一口水井， 亞伯拉罕 為這事指責 亞比米勒 。
26Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”
26亞比米勒 說：「誰做這事，我不知道，你也沒有告訴我，今日我才聽見了。」
27So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
27亞伯拉罕 把羊和牛給了 亞比米勒 ，二人就彼此立約。
28Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
28亞伯拉罕 把七隻母羊羔另放在一處。
29and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
29亞比米勒 問 亞伯拉罕 說：「你把這七隻母羊羔另放在一處，是甚麼意思呢？」
30He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
30他說：「你要從我手裏受這七隻母羊羔，作我挖這口井的證據。」
31So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
31所以他給那地方起名叫 別是巴 ，因為他們二人在那裏起了誓。
32After they had made the covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army got up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
32他們在 別是巴 立了約， 亞比米勒 就同他軍長 非各 起身回 非利士 地去了。
33And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
33亞伯拉罕 在 別是巴 栽上一棵垂絲柳樹，又在那裏求告耶和華－永生上帝的名。
34And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
34亞伯拉罕 在 非利士 人的地寄居了多日。
