Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.
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。
2And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.
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 called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.
3亞伯拉罕 給 撒拉 所生的兒子起名叫 以撒 。
4And he circumcised him the eighth day, 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。
5When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born.
5他兒子 以撒 生的時候， 亞伯拉罕 年一百歲。
6And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it 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」；
7And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him 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。」
8And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
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。
9And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the Egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham:
9當時， 撒拉 看見 埃及 人 夏甲 給 亞伯拉罕 所生的兒子戲笑，
10Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir 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。」
11Abraham took this grievously for his son.
11亞伯拉罕 因他兒子的緣故很憂愁。
12And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
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 make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
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。」
14So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee.
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。
15And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.
15皮袋的水用盡了， 夏甲 就把孩子撇在小樹底下，
16And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, 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。
17And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.
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。
18Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.
18起來！把童子抱在懷中，我必使他 的後裔 成為大國。」
19And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to 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 him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.
20上帝保佑童子，他就漸長，住在曠野，成了弓箭手。
21And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of 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 the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.
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。
23Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger.
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 said: I will swear.
24亞伯拉罕 說：「我情願起誓。」
25And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
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 。
26And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till 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。」
27And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.
27亞伯拉罕 把羊和牛給了 亞比米勒 ，二人就彼此立約。
28And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.
28亞伯拉罕 把七隻母羊羔另放在一處。
29And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?
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？」
30But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, 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。」
31Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because there both of them did swear.
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。
32And they made a league for the well of oath.
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 Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal.
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 he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.
34亞伯拉罕 在 非利士 人的地寄居了多日。
