Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now Sarai the wife of Abram, had brought forth no children; but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar,
1亞伯蘭 的妻子 撒萊 不給他生兒女。 撒萊 有一個使女，名叫 夏甲 ，是 埃及 人。
2She said to her husband: Behold, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in unto my handmaid, it may be I may have children of her at least. And when he agreed to her request,
2撒萊 對 亞伯蘭 說：「耶和華使我不能生育。求你和我的使女同房，或者我可以因她得孩子。」 亞伯蘭 聽從了 撒萊 的話。
3She took Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, ten years after they first dwelt in the land of Chanaan, and gave her to her husband to wife.
3於是 亞伯蘭 的妻子 撒萊 將使女 埃及 人 夏甲 給了丈夫為妾；那時 亞伯蘭 在 迦南 已經住了十年。
4And he went in to her. But she, perceiving that she was with child, despised her mistress.
4亞伯蘭 與 夏甲 同房， 夏甲 就懷了孕；她見自己有孕，就小看她的主母。
5And Sarai said to Abram: Thou dost unjustly with me: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and she perceiving herself to be with child, despiseth me. The Lord judge between me and thee.
5撒萊 對 亞伯蘭 說：「我因你受屈。我將我的使女放在你懷中，她見自己有了孕，就小看我。願耶和華在你我中間判斷。」
6And Abram made answer, and said to her: Behold thy handmaid is in thy own hand, use her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai afflicted her, she ran away.
6亞伯蘭 對 撒萊 說：「使女在你手下，你可以隨意待她。」 撒萊 苦待她，她就從 撒萊 面前逃走了。
7And the angel of the Lord having found her, by a fountain of water in the wilderness, which is in the way to Sur in the desert,
7耶和華的使者在曠野 書珥 路上的水泉旁遇見她，
8He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she answered: I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.
8對她說：「 撒萊 的使女 夏甲 ，你從哪裏來？要往哪裏去？」 夏甲 說：「我從我的主母 撒萊 面前逃出來。」
9And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand.
9耶和華的使者對她說：「你回到你主母那裏，服在她手下」；
10And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.
10又說：「我必使你的後裔極其繁多，甚至不可勝數」；
11And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
11並說：「你如今懷孕要生一個兒子，可以給他起名叫 以實瑪利 ，因為耶和華聽見了你的苦情。
12He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.
12他為人必像野驢。他的手要攻打人，人的手也要攻打他；他必住在眾弟兄的東邊。」
13And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her: Thou the God who hast seen me. For she said: Verily here have I seen the hinder parts of him that seeth me.
13夏甲 就稱那對她說話的耶和華為「看顧人的上帝」。因而說：「在這裏我也看見那看顧我的嗎？」
14Therefore she called that well, The well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad.
14所以這井名叫 庇耳‧拉海‧萊 。這井正在 加低斯 和 巴列 中間。
15And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael.
15後來 夏甲 給 亞伯蘭 生了一個兒子； 亞伯蘭 給他起名叫 以實瑪利 。
16Abram was four score and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael.
16夏甲 給 亞伯蘭 生 以實瑪利 的時候， 亞伯蘭 年八十六歲。
