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.
April 29 "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are."(James 5:17.) THANK God for that! He got under a juniper tree, as you and I have often done; he complained and murmured, as we have often done; was unbelieving, as we have often been. But that was not the case when he really got into touch with God. Though "a man subject to like passions as we are,""earnestly," but "he prayed in prayer." He kept on praying. What is the lesson here? You must keep praying. Come up on the top of Carmel, and see that remarkable parable of Faith and Sight. It was not the descent of the fire that now was necessary, but the descent of the flood' and the man that can command the fire can command the flood by the same means and methods. We are told that he bowed himself to the ground with his face between his knees; that is, shutting out all sights and sounds. He was putting himself in a position where, beneath his mantle, he could neither see nor hear what was going forward. He said to his servant, "Go and take an observation." He went and came back, and said─how sublimely brief! one word─"Nothing!" What do we do under such circumstances? We say, "It is just as I expected!" and we give up praying. Did Elijah? No, he said, "Go again." His servant again came back and said, "Nothing!" "Go again." "Nothing!" By and by he came back, and said, "There is a little cloud like a man's hand." A man's hand had been raised in supplication, and presently down came the rain; and Ahab had not time to get back to the gate of Samaria with all his fast steeds. This is a parable of Faith and Sight─faith shutting itself up with God; sight taking observations and seeing nothing; faith going right on, and "praying in prayer," with utterly hopeless reports from sight. Do you know how to pray that way, how to pray prevailingly? Let sight give as discouraging reports as it may, but pay no attention to these. The living God is still in the heavens and even to delay is part of His goodness. ─Arthur T. Pierson. Each of three boys gave a definition of faith which is an illustration of the tenacity of faith. The first boy said, "It is taking hold of Christ"; the second, "Keeping hold"; and the third, "Not letting go."
