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.
September 10 "The will perfect that which concerneth me." (Psalm 138:8.) THERE is a Divine mystery in suffering, a strange and supernatural power in it, which had never been fathomed by the human reason. There never has been known great saintliness of soul which did not pass through great suffering. When the suffering soul reaches a calm sweet carelessness, when it can inwardly smile at its own suffering, and does not even ask God to deliver it from suffering, then it has wrought its blessed ministry; then patience has its perfect work; then the crucifixion begins to weave itself into a crown. It is in this state of the perfection of suffering that the Holy Spirit works many marvelous things in our souls. In such a condition, our whole being lies perfectly still under the hand of God; every faculty of the mind and will and heart are at last subdued; a quietness of eternity settles down into the whole being; the tongue grows still, and has but few words to say; it stops asking God questions; it stops crying, "Why hast thou forsaken me?" The imagination stops building air castles, or running off on foolish lines; the reason is tame and gentle; the choices are annihilated; it has no choice in anything but the purpose of God. The affections are weaned from all creatures and all things; it is so dead that nothing can hurt it, nothing can offend it, nothing can hinder it, nothing can get in its way; for, let the circumstances be what they may, it seeks only for God and His will, and it feels assured that God is making everything in the universe, good or bad, past or present, work together for its good. Oh, the blessedness of being absolutely conquered! of losing our own strength, and wisdom, and plans, and desires, and being where every atom of our nature is like placid Galilee under the omnipotent feet of our Jesus. ─Soul Food. The great thing is to suffer without being discouraged. ─Fenelon.
