창세기(Genesis) 16장

1. Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne
him no children. But she had an
Egyptian maidservant name Hagar;

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.

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.

4. He slept with Hagar, and she
conceived. When she knew she was
pregnant, she began to despise her
mistress.

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.”

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.

7. The angel of the LORD found Hagar
near a spring in the desert; it was the
spring that is beside the road to Shur.

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.

9. Then the angel of the LORD told
her, “Go back to your mistress and
submit to her.”

10. The angel added, “I will so increase
your descendants that they will be too
numerous to count.”

11. The angel of the LORD also asid
to her: “You are now with child and
you will have a son. You shall name
him Ishmael, for the LORD has
heard of your misery.

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 all his brothers.”

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 the One who sees me.”

14. That is why the well was called
Beer Lahai Roi ; it is still there,
between Kadesh and Bered.

15. So Hagar bore Abram a son,
and Abram gave the name Ishmael
to the son she had borne.

16. Abram was eighty-six years old
when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
