創世記 16

1 アブラムの妻サライ子女を生ざりき彼に一人の侍女ありしがエジプト人にして其名をハガルと曰り

Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had not conceived children. But, having an Egyptian handmaid named Hagar,

2 サライ、アブラムに言けるは視よヱホバわが子を生むことを禁めたまひければ請ふ我が侍女の所に入れ我彼よりして子女を得ることあらんとアブラム、サライの言を聽いれたり

she said to her husband: “Behold, the Lord has closed me, lest I give birth. Enter to my handmaid, so that perhaps I may receive sons of her at least.” And when he agreed to her supplication,

3 アブラムの妻サライ其侍女なるエジプト人ハガルを取て之を其夫アブラムに與へて妻となさしめたり是はアブラムがカナンの地に十年住みたる後なりき

she took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, ten years after they began to live in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to her husband as a wife.

4 是においてアブラム、ハガルの所に入るハガル遂に孕みければ己の孕めるを見て其女主を藐視たり

And he entered to her. But when she saw that she had conceived, she despised her mistress.

5 サライ、アブラムに言けるはわが蒙れる害は汝に歸すべし我わが侍女を汝の懷に與へたるに彼己の孕るを見て我を藐視ぐ願はヱホバ我と汝の間の事を鞫きたまへ

And Sarai said to Abram: “You have acted unfairly against me. I gave my handmaid into your bosom, who, when she saw that she had conceived, held me in contempt. May the Lord judge between me and you.”

6 アブラム、サライに言けるは視よ汝の侍女は汝の手の中にあり汝の目に善と見ゆる所を彼に爲すべしサライ乃ち彼を苦めければ彼サライの面を避て逃たり

Abram responded to her by saying, “Behold, your handmaid is in your hand to treat as it pleases you.” And so, when Sarai afflicted her, she took flight.

7 ヱホバの使者曠野の泉の旁即ちシユルの路にある泉の旁にて彼に遭ひて

And when the Angel of the Lord had found her, near the fountain of water in the wilderness, which is on the way to Shur in the desert,

8 言けるはサライの侍女ハガルよ汝何處より來れるや又何處に往や彼言けるは我は女主サライの面をさけて逃るなり

he said to her: “Hagar, handmaid of Sarai, where have you come from? And where will you go?” And she answered, “I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.”

9 ヱホバの使者彼に言けるは汝の女主の許に返り身を其手に任すべし

And the Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand.”

10 ヱホバの使者又彼に言ひけるは我大に汝の子孫を増し其數を衆多して數ふることあたはざらしめん

And again he said, “I will multiply your offspring continuously, and they will not be numbered because of their multitude.”

11 ヱホバの使者又彼に言けるは汝孕めり男子を生まん其名をイシマエル（神聽知）と名くべしヱホバ汝の艱難を聽知したまへばなり

But thereafter he said: “Behold, you have conceived, and you will give birth to a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your affliction.

12 彼は野驢馬の如き人とならん其手は諸の人に敵し諸の人の手はこれに敵すべし彼は其諸の兄弟の東に住んと

He will be a wild man. His hand will be against all, and all hands will be against him. And he will pitch his tents away from the region of all his brothers.”

13 ハガル己に諭したまへるヱホバの名をアタエルロイ（汝は見たまふ神なり）とよべり彼いふ我視たる後尚生るやと

Then she called upon the name of the Lord who had spoken to her: “You are the God who has seen me.” For she said, “Certainly, here I have seen the back of the one who sees me.”

14 是をもて其井はベエルラハイロイ（我を見る活る者の井）と呼ばる是はカデシとベレデの間にあり

Because of this, she called that well: ‘The well of the one who lives and who sees me.’ The same is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 ハガル、アブラムの男子を生めりアブラム、ハガルの生める其子の名をイシマエルと名づけたり

And Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram, who called his name Ishmael.

16 ハガル、イシマエルをアブラムに生める時アブラムは八十六歳なりき

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael for him.
