But Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children, —she had, however, an Egyptian handmaid, whose name was Hagar.

So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian. her handmaid, at the end of ten years of Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband, to be to him as a wife.

And he went in unto Hagar and she conceived, —and when she saw that she had conceived, lightly esteemed, was her lady, in her eyes.

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

Then said Sarai unto Abram: My wrong, is, on thee! I, gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and when she seeth that she hath conceived, then am I lightly esteemed in her eyes Yahweh judge betwixt me and her.

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

And Abram said unto Sarai, Lo! thy handmaid, is in thy hand, do to her what is good in thine eyes. So Sarai humbled her, and she fled from her face.

And the messenger of Yahweh found her by the fountain of water in the desert, —by the fountain in the way to Shur.

And the messenger of Yahweh said to her, I will, greatly multiply, thy seed—so that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

But, he, will be a wild ass of a man, his hand, against every one, and every one’s hand against him—yet, in presence of all his brethren, shall he have his habitation.
