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〔得孩子:原文是被建立〕。」亞伯蘭聽從了撒萊的話。 2 so she said to Abram, 「The LORD has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her.」 Abram agreed to what Sarai said.
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。 3 So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife.
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。」 5 Then Sarai said to Abram, 「You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my servant in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the LORD judge between you and me.」
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。 6 「Your servant is in your hands,」 Abram said. 「Do with her whatever you think best.」 Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.
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。」 8 And he said, 「Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?」 「I'm running away from my mistress Sarai,」 she answered.
並說:「你如今懷孕要生一個兒子,可以給他起名叫以實瑪利〔就是神聽見的意思〕,因為耶和華聽見了你的苦情。 11 The angel of the LORD also said to her: 「You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, 16:11 ((Ishmael)) means ((God hears.)) for the LORD has heard of your misery.
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。」 12 He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward 16:12 Or ((live to the east / of)) all his brothers.」
夏甲就稱那對她說話的耶和華為「看顧人的神」。因而說:「在這裏我也看見那看顧我的嗎?」 13 She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: 「You are the God who sees me,」 for she said, 「I have now seen 16:13 Or ((seen the back of)) the One who sees me.」
所以這井名叫庇耳‧拉海‧萊。這井正在加低斯和巴列中間。 14 That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; 16:14 ((Beer Lahai Roi)) means ((well of the Living One who sees me.)) it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
October 11 "As dying and behold we live." (2 Cor. 6:9.) THAD a bed of asters last summer, that reached clear a cross my garden in the country. Oh, how gaily they bloomed. They were planted late. On the sides were yet fresh blossoming flowers, while the tops had gone to seed. Early frosts came, and I found one day that that long line of radiant beauty was seared, and I said, "Ah! the season is too much for them; they have perished"; and I bade them farewell. I disliked to go and look at the bed, it looked so like a graveyard of flowers. But, four or five weeks ago one of my men called my attention to the fact that along the whole line of that bed there were asters coming up in the greatest abundance; and I looked, and behold, for every plant that I thought the winter had destroyed there were fity plants that I thought the winter had destroyed there were fifty plants that it had planted. What did those frosts and surly winds do? They caught my nowers, they slew them, they cast them to the ground, they trod with snowy feet upon them, and they said, leaving their work, "This is the end of you." And the next spring there were for every root, fifty witnesses to rise up and say, "By death we live." And as it is in the floral tribe, so it is in God's kingdom. By death came everlasting life. By crucifixion and the sepulchre came the throne and the palace of the Eternal God. By overthrow came victory. Do not be afraid to suffer. Do not be afraid to be overthrown. It is by being cast down and not destroyed; it is by being shaken to pieces, and the pieces torn to shreds, that men become men of might, and that one a host; whereas men that yield to the appearance of things, and go with the world, have their quick blossoming, their monentary prosperity and then their end, which is an end forever. -Beecher. "Measure thy life by loss and not by gain, Not by the wine drunk, but by the wine poured forth. For love's strength standeth in love's sacrifice, And he who suffers most has most to give."
