圣經(jīng)故事（8）：Hagar Bore Ishmael
Abram's wife Sarai had borne him no children. Now she had an Egyptian slave-girl whose name was Hagar, and she said to Abram, 'You see that the Lord has not allowed me to bear a child. Take my slave-girl； perhaps I shall found a family through her.' Abram agreed to what his wife said； so Sarai, Abram's wife, brought her slave-girl, Hagar the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram as a wife. When this happened Abram had been in Canaan for ten years .He lay with with Hagar and she conceived；and when she knew that she was with child,she despised her mistress.Sarai said to Abram,'I have been wronged and you must answer for it .It was I who that she is with child,she has despised me .May the Lord see justice done between you and me .'Abram replied to Sarai.'Your slave -girl is in your hands ；deal with her as you will.；So Sarai ill -treated her and she ran away .
The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness on the way to Shur,and he said ,'Hagar ,Sarai's slave-girl,where have you come from and where are you going ？'She answered,'I am running away from Sarai my mistress.' The angel of the Lord said to her ,'Go back to your mistress and submit to her ill-treatment .'The angel also said,'I will make your descendants too many to be counted.'And the angel of the Lord said to her ：
'You are with child and will bear a son .
You shall name him Ishmael,because the Lord has heard of your ill-treatment .
He shall be a man like the wild ass,
his hand against every man
and every man's hand against him ；and he shall live at
odds with all his kinsmen.'
Hagar bore Abram was eighty-six year old when Hagar bore Ishmael.
納妾生子
亞伯蘭的妻子撒萊沒有生育。她有一個(gè)埃及女奴，名叫夏甲。撒萊對(duì)亞伯蘭說：“你看，天主沒讓我生育。收了我的女奴吧，也許我可以利用她養(yǎng)兒育女呢?！眮啿m同意妻子的話，于是他妻子撒萊就把她的埃及女奴夏甲帶來給丈夫亞伯蘭做妾。這是亞伯蘭在迦南已住了十年的事。他與夏甲同房，夏甲就懷了孕。夏甲得知自己懷孕后，就瞧不起女主人了。撒萊對(duì)亞伯蘭說：“我受了欺侮，你得出來說話。是我把這女奴送入你的懷抱，但自從她知道自己在有了身孕，她就瞧不起我了。但愿天主在你我之間主持公道?！眮啿m回答撒萊道：“你的女奴由你支配，你可以隨意處置她?！边@樣，撒萊就虐待起夏甲來，夏甲就逃跑了。
天主的使臣發(fā)現(xiàn)夏甲在去書珥路上的荒野里一個(gè)水泉旁，就說：“撒萊的女奴夏甲，你從哪里逃出來的？要到哪里去？”她回答道：“我從女主人撒萊那里逃出來的。”天主的使臣對(duì)她說：“回到的女主人那里去，忍受她的虐待吧?！庇终f：“我會(huì)使你有百子千孫：你已有了身孕，將會(huì)生一個(gè)兒子。你要給他起個(gè)名字叫以實(shí)瑪利，因?yàn)樘熘髀犝f你受到虐待。你這兒子會(huì)成為象野驢子那樣的人，他反對(duì)所有的人，而所有的人也會(huì)反對(duì)他。他會(huì)與他所有的兄弟不和?！?/p>
后來夏甲生了一個(gè)兒子，亞伯蘭給她生的這孩子了名為以實(shí)瑪利。夏甲生以實(shí)瑪利時(shí)，亞伯蘭是八十六歲。
