創世記 21
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
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。
1And the LORD remembered Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as He had spoken.
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。
2And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3亞伯拉罕 給 撒拉 所生的兒子起名叫 以撒 。
3And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
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。
4And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5他兒子 以撒 生的時候， 亞伯拉罕 年一百歲。
5And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6撒拉 說：「上帝使我喜笑，凡聽見的必與我一同喜笑」；
6And Sarah said: 'God hath made laughter for me; every one that heareth will laugh on account of me.'
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。」
7And she said: 'Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.'
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。
8And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9當時， 撒拉 看見 埃及 人 夏甲 給 亞伯拉罕 所生的兒子戲笑，
9And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, making sport.
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。」
10Wherefore she said unto Abraham: 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.'
11亞伯拉罕 因他兒子的緣故很憂愁。
11And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
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。
12And God said unto Abraham: 'Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall seed be called to thee.
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。」
13And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.'
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。
14And Abraham arose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and strayed in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15皮袋的水用盡了， 夏甲 就把孩子撇在小樹底下，
15And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
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。
16And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow-shot; for she said: 'Let me not look upon the death of the child.' And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
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。
17And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her: 'What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18起來！把童子抱在懷中，我必使他 的後裔 成為大國。」
18Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast by thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.'
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。
19And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
20上帝保佑童子，他就漸長，住在曠野，成了弓箭手。
20And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21他住在 巴蘭 的曠野；他母親從 埃及 地給他娶了一個妻子。
21And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
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。
22And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spoke unto Abraham, saying: 'God is with thee in all that thou doest.
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。」
23Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son; but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.'
24亞伯拉罕 說：「我情願起誓。」
24And Abraham said: 'I will swear.'
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 。
25And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
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。」
26And Abimelech said: 'I know not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day.'
27亞伯拉罕 把羊和牛給了 亞比米勒 ，二人就彼此立約。
27And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
28亞伯拉罕 把七隻母羊羔另放在一處。
28And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
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？」
29And Abimelech said unto Abraham: 'What mean these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
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。」
30And he said: 'Verily, these seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.'
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。
31Wherefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there they swore both of them.
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。
32So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba; and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
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。
33And Abraham planted a tamarisk-tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
34亞伯拉罕 在 非利士 人的地寄居了多日。
34And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
