11Abram'swifeSaraihadbornehimnochildren.Shehad,however,anEgyptianmaidservantnamedHagar.
亚巴郎的妻子撒辣依，没有给他生孩子，她有个埃及婢女，名叫哈加尔。
2SaraisaidtoAbram:＂TheLORDhaskeptmefrombearingchildren.Haveintercourse,then,withmymaid;perhapsIshallhavesonsthroughher.＂AbramheededSarai'srequest.
撒辣依就对亚巴郎说：“请看，上主既使我不能生育，你可去亲近我的婢女，或许我能由她得到孩子。”亚巴郎就听了撒辣依的话。
3Thus,afterAbramhadlivedtenyearsinthelandofCanaan,hiswifeSaraitookhermaid,HagartheEgyptian,andgavehertoherhusbandAbramtobehisconcubine.
她得到孩子。＂亚巴郎就听了撒辣依的话。
亚巴郎住在客纳罕地十年后，亚巴郎的妻子撒辣依将自己的埃及婢女哈加尔，给了丈夫亚巴郎做妾。
4Hehadintercoursewithher,andshebecamepregnant.Whenshebecameawareofherpregnancy,shelookedonhermistresswithdisdain.
亚巴郎自从同哈加尔亲近，哈加尔就怀了孕；她见自己怀了孕；就看不起自己的主母。
5SoSaraisaidtoAbram:＂Youareresponsibleforthisoutrageagainstme.Imyselfgavemymaidtoyourembrace;buteversinceshebecameawareofherpregnancy,shehasbeenlookingonmewithdisdain.MaytheLORDdecidebetweenyouandme!＂
撒辣依对亚巴郎说：＂我受羞辱是你的过错。我将我的婢女放在你怀里，她一见自己怀了孕，便看不起我。愿上主在我与你之间来判断！＂
6AbramtoldSarai:＂Yourmaidisinyourpower.Dotoherwhateveryouplease.＂SaraithenabusedhersomuchthatHagarranawayfromher.
亚巴郎对撒辣依说：＂你的婢女是在你手中；你看怎样好，就怎样待她罢！＂于是撒辣依就虐待她，她便由撒辣依面前逃跑了。
72TheLORD'Smessengerfoundherbyaspringinthewilderness,thespringontheroadtoShur,
上主的使者在旷野的水泉旁，即在往叔尔道上的水泉旁，遇见了她，
8andheasked,＂Hagar,maidofSarai,wherehaveyoucomefromandwhereareyougoing?＂Sheanswered,＂Iamrunningawayfrommymistress,Sarai.＂
对她说：＂撒辣依的婢女哈加尔！你从那里来，要往那里去？＂她答说：＂我由我主母撒辣依那里逃出来的。＂
9ButtheLORD'Smessengertoldher:＂Gobacktoyourmistressandsubmittoherabusivetreatment.
上主的使者对她说：＂你要回到你主母那里，屈服在她手下。＂
10Iwillmakeyourdescendantssonumerous,＂addedtheLORD'Smessenger,＂thattheywillbetoomanytocount.
上主的使者又对她说：＂我要使你的后裔繁衍，多得不可胜数。＂
113Besides,＂theLORD'Smessengersaidtoher:＂Youarenowpregnantandshallbearason;youshallnamehimIshmael,FortheLORDhasheardyou,Godhasansweredyou.
上主的使者再对她说：＂看，你已怀孕，要生个儿子；要给他起名叫依市玛耳，因为上主俯听了你的苦诉。
12Heshallbeawildassofaman,hishandagainsteveryone,andeveryone'shandagainsthim;Inoppositiontoallhiskinshallheencamp.＂
他将来为人，像头野驴；他要反对众人，众人也要反对他；他要冲着自己的众兄弟支搭帐幕。＂
134TotheLORDwhospoketohershegaveaname,saying,＂YouaretheGodofVision＂;shemeant,＂HaveIreallyseenGodandremainedaliveaftermyvision?＂
哈加尔遂给那对她说话的上主起名叫＂你是看顾人的天主，＂因为她说：＂我不是也看见了那看顾人的天主吗？＂
145ThatiswhythewelliscalledBeer-lahai-roi.ItisbetweenKadeshandBered.
为此她给那井起名叫拉海洛依井。这井是在卡德士与贝勒得之间。
15HagarboreAbramason,andAbramnamedthesonwhomHagarborehimIshmael.
哈加尔给亚巴郎生了一个儿子，亚巴郎给哈加尔所生的儿子，起名叫依市玛耳。

哈加尔给亚巴郎生依市玛耳时，亚巴郎已八十六岁。
