创世记第16章

《圣经》创世记-第16章

创16:1 亚伯兰的妻子撒莱不给他生儿女。撒莱有一个使女，名叫夏甲，是埃及人。 (串)创15:2-3|创21:9加4:24

†[吕]亚伯兰的妻子撒莱不给他生儿女；可是撒莱有一个婢女，是埃及人，她名叫夏甲。

†[思]亚巴郎的妻子撒辣依，没有给他生孩子，她有个埃及婢女，名叫哈加尔。

†[当代]亚伯兰的妻子撒莱没有生育，她有一个侍女，名叫夏甲，是个埃及人。

†[新译]亚伯兰的妻子撒莱，没有为他生孩子。撒莱却有一个婢女，是埃及人，名叫夏甲。

†[Wlb]亚伯兰妻撒莱不育、有埃及婢名夏甲、

†[Xdv]亚伯兰的妻子莎莱没有替他生儿女。莎莱有一个女奴叫夏甲，是埃及人。

†[Kjv]Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

†[Nkjv]Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar.

†[BBE]Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children; and she had a servant, a woman of Egypt whose name was Hagar.

†[GNT] Abram's wife Sarai had not borne him any children. But she had an Egyptian slave woman named Hagar,

†[NIV]Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar;

本会注释　　一个使女。尽管上帝有多次应许，但事实上在亚伯兰首次领受上帝的应许之后的十年里一直没有一个孩子（第3节）。这里提到撒莱的埃及使女夏甲。由于埃及人在亚伯兰的时代是一个强大的民族，所以在一个巴勒斯坦的家庭中有埃及使女是极为罕见。夏甲可能是撒莱被带到法老宫中时赐予她的随从（见创12:15,16）。她仍旧在亚伯兰的家中侍奉，表明法老没有收回他赐给亚伯兰的礼物。
　　夏甲。这不是一个埃及名字。圣经中没有告诉我们她的原名是什么。夏甲这个名字在阿拉伯语中的意思就是“逃跑”，可能是在她从主母那里逃跑后被命名的。

创16:2 撒莱对亚伯兰说：“耶和华使我不能生育。求你和我的使女同房，或者我可以因她得孩子（得孩子：原文作被建立）。”亚伯兰听从了撒莱的话。 (串)创30:3

†[吕]撒莱对亚伯兰说：“你看，永恒主抑制我、使我不能生育；求你进去找我婢女，同房，或者我的后裔得以树立起来。”亚伯兰听从了撒莱的话。

†[思]撒辣依就对亚巴郎说：“请看，上主既使我不能生育，你可去亲近我的婢女，或许我能由她得到孩子。”亚巴郎就听了撒辣依的话。

†[当代]撒莱对丈夫提议说：“主既然不许我生育，就请你与我的侍女同房，也许她可以替我生孩子呢。”亚伯兰就听从了撒莱的话。

†[新译]撒莱对亚伯兰说：“请看，耶和华使我不能生育，求你去亲近我的婢女，或者我可以从她得孩子。”亚伯兰就听从了撒莱的话。

†[Wlb]撒莱谓亚伯兰曰、耶和华禁我生育、请尔与我婢同室、我或可因之得子、亚伯兰从其言、

†[Xdv]莎莱对亚伯兰说：“上主使我不能生育。请你跟我的女奴同房吧！也许她能替我生一个儿子。”亚伯兰同意莎莱的话。

†[Kjv]And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

†[Nkjv]So Sarai said to Abram, "See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her." And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.

†[BBE]And Sarai said to Abram, See, the Lord has not let me have children; go in to my servant, for I may get a family through her. And Abram did as Sarai said.

†[GNT] and so she said to Abram, "The Lord has kept me from having children. Why don't you sleep with my slave? Perhaps she can have a child for me." Abram agreed with what Sarai said.

†[NIV]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.

本会注释　　和我的使女同房。撒莱缺乏信心，认为自己已经没有指望生孩子了，于是决定依照她本国的风俗去做，为家中提供一个后嗣。美索不达米亚的法典允许无子的妻子将她的一个奴仆给她的丈夫生子归在她的名下。法典中还特别规定了这种儿女的权利。条例对正妻在奴仆生子后也生子的情况，或当奴仆在生子后因被尊重而变得专横时都做了必要的规定（见《汉穆拉比法典》第144-146,170,171条）。
　　亚伯兰听从了。他的信心可能是真实的，但在压力和困惑之中却软弱了。活泼的信心会紧紧地抓住上帝的应许，全然相信上帝必会实现祂的应许。除了三、四次短暂的例外，这就是亚伯兰在漫长而曲折的人生中所具有的信心。上帝不需要亚伯兰自己设法来实现祂的应许。祂唯一的要求就是信靠与顺从。亚伯兰在顺服撒莱鲁莽建议的事上重蹈了亚当的后尘。这两次事件所导致的结果都是痛苦与失望，所想象的福气结果成了咒诅。亚伯兰因听从撒莱的建议为自己制造了影响深远的麻烦，其中包括家庭的纠纷和痛心以及妻妾子女之间的敌意。直至今日，撒莱和夏甲后裔的后代，犹太人和阿拉伯人之间现在依然在为占有圣地而争战不休。

创16:3 于是亚伯兰的妻子撒莱将使女埃及人夏甲给了丈夫为妾；那时亚伯兰在迦南已经住了十年。 (串)创12:5

†[吕]这样，亚伯兰在迦南地住了十年之后，亚伯兰的妻子撒莱才取了她的婢女埃及人夏甲给自己的丈夫亚伯兰为妾。

†[思]亚巴郎住在客纳罕地十年后，亚巴郎的妻子撒辣依将自己的埃及婢女哈加尔，给了丈夫亚巴郎做妾。

†[当代]于是，亚伯兰依撒莱的意思纳侍女夏甲为妾；那时亚伯兰已经在迦南住了十年。

†[新译]亚伯兰在迦南地住满了十年，他的妻子撒莱，把自己的婢女埃及人夏甲，给了她的丈夫亚伯兰为妾。

†[Wlb]其妻撒莱、纳埃及婢夏甲于夫亚伯兰、时、亚伯兰居迦南、已历十年、

†[Xdv]莎莱就把夏甲交给亚伯兰为妾。（这件事是亚伯兰在迦南住了十年以后才发生的。）

†[Kjv]And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

†[Nkjv]Then Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan.

†[BBE]So after Abram had been living for ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, and gave her to Abram for his wife.

†[GNT] So she gave Hagar to him to be his concubine. (This happened after Abram had lived in Canaan for ten years.)

†[NIV]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.

本会注释　　亚伯兰和撒莱坚持了十年之久的信心现在要放弃了。提到十年可能是为了说明他们因后嗣来临的耽延而产生的急躁之情。但亚伯兰并没有意识到这种耽延正是上帝为要试验他的信心和提炼他的品格而设定的。

创16:4 亚伯兰与夏甲同房，夏甲就怀了孕；她见自己有孕，就小看她的主母。 (串)撒上1:6-7

†[吕]亚伯兰和夏甲同床，夏甲就怀了孕。夏甲见自己有了孕，就轻看她的主母。

†[思]亚巴郎自从同哈加尔亲近，哈加尔就怀了孕；她见自己怀了孕；就看不起自己的主母。

†[当代]亚伯兰与夏甲同房，她就怀孕，夏甲知道自己怀了孕，就轻视她的主母撒莱。

†[新译]亚伯兰与夏甲亲近，夏甲就怀了孕。夏甲见自己有了孕，就轻看她的主母。

†[Wlb]遂与夏甲同室、夏甲怀孕、自觉有妊、藐视主母、

†[Xdv]亚伯兰跟夏甲同房，她怀了孕。她一发觉自己怀孕，就骄傲起来，瞧不起莎莱。

†[Kjv]And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

†[Nkjv]So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes.

†[BBE]And he went in to Hagar and she became with child, and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for her master's wife.

†[GNT] Abram had intercourse with Hagar, and she became pregnant. When she found out that she was pregnant, she became proud and despised Sarai.

†[NIV]He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.

本会注释　　不会生育在希伯来人当中一直被视为一种耻辱（创30:1,23；利20:20；见对@路1:25@节的注释），而多产被视为上帝厚爱的特别标志（见创21:6；24:60；出23:26等）。被纳为妾的埃及使女（第3节）忘记了自己的特殊身份而变得傲慢起来，这是可以预意料的。她不会赞成主母的计划；她的孩子凭什么要算为撒莱的儿子？这位多年来一直如此忠心地服侍撒莱的使女被认为最配成为亚伯兰之妾，但她现在却开始小看她以前一直尊重的主母。与上帝所设立的婚姻制度相冲突的家庭都是充满伤心、嫉妒和纷争。亚伯兰的家庭也不例外，先前的和睦气氛这时已变成了不和。

创16:5 撒莱对亚伯兰说：“我因你受屈。我将我的使女放在你怀中，她见自己有了孕，就小看我。愿耶和华在你我中间判断。” (串)创31:53撒上24:12

†[吕]撒莱对亚伯兰说：“我之受屈都归在你身上；我将我的婢女放在你怀中，她见自己有了孕，就轻看我。愿永恒主在你我之间行判断。”

†[思]撒辣依对亚巴郎说：“我受羞辱是你的过错。我将我的婢女放在你怀，她一见自己怀了孕，便看不起我。愿上主在我与你之间来判断！”

†[当代]撒莱埋怨亚伯兰说：“我的冤气应当由你来承受，我把侍女给你作妾，她仗著自己怀了孕，就轻视我，愿主在你我之间主持公道。”

†[新译]撒莱对亚伯兰说：“我因你受屈；我把我的婢女送到你的怀中，她见自己有了孕，就轻看我。愿耶和华在你我之间主持公道。”

†[Wlb]撒莱谓亚伯兰曰、我冤在尔、以婢置于尔怀、彼觉有妊、乃藐视我、愿耶和华于尔我间判之、

†[Xdv]莎莱向亚伯兰埋怨：“都是你不对，那丫头才敢瞧不起我（或译：愿你因我被瞧不起受罚）。我把她交给你；她知道自己有孕，就瞧不起我。愿上主在你我中间主持公道。”

†[Kjv]And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

†[Nkjv]Then Sarai said to Abram, "My wrong be upon you! I gave my maid into your embrace; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became despised in her eyes. The LORD judge between you and me."

†[BBE]And Sarai said to Abram, May my wrong be on you: I gave you my servant for your wife and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for me: may the Lord be judge between you and me.

†[GNT] Then Sarai said to Abram, "It's your fault that Hagar despises me. I myself gave her to you, and ever since she found out that she was pregnant, she has despised me. May the Lord judge which of us is right, you or me!"

†[NIV]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."

本会注释　　撒莱采用了极为焦躁的语言，表明她后悔先前所做的决定，想将此举措及其苦涩的后果归咎于她丈夫。她甚至不敬虔地使用了耶和华的名，呼唤祂审判亚伯兰的。

创16:6 亚伯兰对撒莱说：“使女在你手下，你可以随意待她。”撒莱苦待她，她就从撒莱面前逃走了。

†[吕]亚伯兰对撒莱说：“看哪，你的婢女全在你手中，你看怎么好，就怎么样待她吧。”于是撒莱苦待夏甲，夏甲就从撒莱面前逃走了。

†[思]亚巴郎对撒辣依说：“你的婢女是在你手中；你看怎样好，就怎样待她罢！”于是撒辣依就虐待她，她便由撒辣依面前逃跑了。

†[当代]亚伯兰对撒莱说：“侍女是由你管的，随便你怎样待她好了。”于是，撒莱就苦待她，夏甲因此就逃走了。

†[新译]亚伯兰对撒莱说：“你的婢女在你手中，你看怎样好，就怎样待她吧。”于是撒莱虐待夏甲，她就从撒莱面前逃走了。

†[Wlb]亚伯兰曰、婢为尔所治、可任意以待、于是撒莱虐遇之、夏甲逃避焉、

†[Xdv]亚伯兰回答：“好吧！她是你的女奴，在你手中，你可以随意待她！”于是莎莱虐待夏甲，她受不了，就逃走了。

†[Kjv]But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

†[Nkjv]So Abram said to Sarai, "Indeed your maid is in your hand; do to her as you please." And when Sarai dealt harshly with her, she fled from her presence.

†[BBE]And Abram said, The woman is in your power; do with her whatever seems good to you. And Sarai was cruel to her, so that she went running away from her.

†[GNT] Abram answered, "Very well, she is your slave and under your control; do whatever you want with her." Then Sarai treated Hagar so cruelly that she ran away.

†[NIV]Your servant is in your hands," Abram said. "Do with her whatever you think best." Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.

本会注释　　你可以随意待她。古美索不达米亚的汉穆拉比法典中的第146条说:“若该女奴后来因她生子而欲与其主母平起平坐，其主母不可卖她；她可以给她加上奴隶的记号，将她算为奴隶”。该法规允许主人将傲慢的奴隶妾降卑，但也对其主人设立了一定的限制。生在美索不达米亚并在那里受过教育的亚伯兰非常了解其故乡的法律和风俗，因此便遵守了这个允许他的妻子使夏甲降卑但不出卖她的法规。亚伯兰的和解处置也可以从他对撒莱的许可中明显地看出来。他抑制了自己的情感，为要恢复家庭的和谐。另一方面，他在屈服撒莱想对他孩子未来的母亲施加不公正处罚的意愿上表现出了他的软弱。
　　撒莱苦待她。撒莱按照当时的民法的许可恢复了她奴隶的身份后，她甚至采用体罚的方式，正如希伯来语“苦待”一词所暗示的。夏甲不得不逃离亚伯兰的家。如果奴隶逃跑有过错的话，那么她主母肯定会予以追究。

创16:7 耶和华的使者在旷野书珥路上的水泉旁遇见她， (串)创25:18出15:22

†[吕]永恒主的使者在旷野的水泉边，在往书珥路上的泉旁遇见了她。

†[思]上主的使者在旷野的水泉旁，即在往叔尔道上的水泉旁，遇见了她，

†[当代]主的使者在往书珥路上，在野地的一个水泉旁边发现了夏甲。

†[新译]耶和华的使者在旷野的水泉旁边，就是在到书珥路上的水旁边，遇到了她，

†[Wlb]耶和华之使者见之于野、在书珥路之泉旁、

†[Xdv]上主的天使在旷野，在通往书珥路上的一个水泉旁边遇见夏甲，

†[Kjv]And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

†[Nkjv]Now the Angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.

†[BBE]And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

†[GNT] The angel of the Lord met Hagar at a spring in the desert on the road to Shur

†[NIV]The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.

本会注释　　耶和华的使者。尽管大多数保守的解经家都认为这神格中的第二位，但我们无法确定祂是否以人的形象出现。天使经常奉命来传达上帝对人的信息，这位“耶和华的使者”可能被夏甲理解为耶和华本身（第13节），或耶和华的代表。怀爱伦只称他为“一位天使”（《先祖与先知》第145,152页）。上帝本身屡次向亚伯兰显现（徒7:2；创12:1；13:14；15:1；17:1；18:1；21:12）。只有一次是一位天使奉命向他说话（创22:11,15）。这里的记载与那位天使的来访十分相象，但与上帝本身显现的那些经历有着很大的差别。
　　书珥路上。夏甲在回她故乡埃及的路上，几乎已到达埃及的边境（见创25:18；撒上15:7）。原文“水泉”一词前面的定冠词暗示着这是一个特定的、众所周知的水泉。

创16:8 对她说：“撒莱的使女夏甲，你从哪里来？要往哪里去？”夏甲说：“我从我的主母撒莱面前逃出来。”

†[吕]就说：“撒莱的婢女夏甲，你从哪里来？要往哪里去？”夏甲说：“我从我主母撒莱面前逃出来。”

†[思]对她说：“撒辣依的婢女哈加尔！你从那来，要往那去？”她答说：“我由我主母撒辣依那逃出来的。”

†[当代]主的使者对她说：“撒莱的侍女夏甲，你从哪里来，要到哪里去呢？”她回答说：“我是从主母撒莱那里逃出来的。”

†[新译]就问她：“撒莱的婢女夏甲啊，你从哪里来？要到哪里去？”夏甲回答：“我从我的主母撒莱面前逃出来。”

†[Wlb]曰、撒莱婢夏甲、适从何来、兹欲何往、曰、逃避主母撒莱、

†[Xdv]对她说：“莎莱的女奴夏甲呀，你从哪里来？往哪里去？”她回答：“我从女主人莎莱那里逃出来。”

†[Kjv]And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

†[Nkjv]And He said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai."

†[BBE]And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant, where have you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am running away from Sarai, my master's wife.

†[GNT] and said, "Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?" She answered, "I am running away from my mistress."

†[NIV]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.

创16:9 耶和华的使者对她说：“你回到你主母那里，服在她手下”；

†[吕]永恒主的使者对夏甲说：“你回到你主母那里，屈服在她手下。”

†[思]上主的使者对她说：“你要回到你主母那，屈服在她手下。”

†[当代]使者又对她说：“回到你主母那里，好好地服从她吧。”

†[新译]耶和华的使者对她说：“回到你主母那里去，服在她的手下！”

†[Wlb]曰、宜归主母、服于其下、

†[Xdv]上主的天使说：“你要回到女主人那里去，顺从她。”

†[Kjv]And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

†[Nkjv]The Angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand."

†[BBE]And the angel said to her, Go back, and put yourself under her authority.

†[GNT] He said, "Go back to her and be her slave."

†[NIV]Then the angel of the Lord told her, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her."

本会注释　　希伯来文动词“服”是第6节中译为“苦待”一词的另一种动词形式。不论撒莱会怎样苦待她，夏甲都必须回去温顺地服在撒莱手下。
　　上帝并没有宽容撒莱对夏甲粗暴的作法。祂将惩罚那些滥用职权的人，但祂很少将这种职权托付给那些忍受粗暴与不公待遇的人。温顺柔和是上帝期盼祂儿女所应具有的品格（见弗6:5；西3:22；彼前2:18-23）。

创16:10 又说：“我必使你的后裔极其繁多，甚至不可胜数”； (串)创17:20创25:12-18

†[吕]永恒主的使者又对她说：“我必定使你的后裔大大增多，多到数不过来。”

†[思]上主的使者又对她说：“我要使你的后裔繁衍，多得不可胜数。”

†[当代]又说：“我必大大地增加你后代的人数，叫他们多得不能胜数。

†[新译]耶和华的使者又对她说：“我必使你的后裔人丁兴旺，多到不可胜数。”

†[Wlb]又曰、我必使尔苗裔繁衍、不可胜数、

†[Xdv]天使又说：“我要使你的子孙众多，没有人能数算得出。

†[Kjv]And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

†[Nkjv]Then the Angel of the LORD said to her, "I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude."

†[BBE]And the angel of the Lord said, Your seed will be greatly increased so that it may not be numbered.

†[GNT] Then he said, "I will give you so many descendants that no one will be able to count them.

†[NIV]The angel added, "I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count."

本会注释　　上帝理解夏甲所面临的窘境，也知道责任主要不在她身上。夏甲尊敬了真神，祂不会在困境中抛弃她。祂在那里向她这样一个奴隶所发的应许是绝无仅有的。这个应许使夏甲大得安慰。他的儿子虽然不是神圣计划中的那个儿子，但他依然可以分享上帝向亚伯兰所发的应许。上帝曾应许要使亚伯兰的后裔繁多，祂并没有将这个应许局限于撒莱的后裔之中。因此，祂严格履行祂的应许。但属灵的福气祂留给了应许所原定的后裔以撒（见加4:23-30；罗9:7,8）。

创16:11 并说：“你如今怀孕要生一个儿子，可以给他起名叫以实玛利（就是上帝听见的意思），因为耶和华听见了你的苦情。 (串)创29:32

†[吕]永恒主的使者又对她说：“看哪，你如今怀了孕，必生个儿子；你要给他起名叫以实玛利，因为你受的苦难永恒主听见了。

†[思]上主的使者再对她说：“看，你已怀孕，要生个儿子；要给他起名叫依市玛耳，因为上主俯听了你的苦诉。

†[当代]看，你已经怀了孕，将来你必会产下一个男孩，你要叫他以实玛利，因为主已体察了你的苦况。

†[新译]耶和华的使者再对她说：“看哪，你已经怀了孕，你要生一个儿子；你要给他起名叫以实玛利，因为耶和华听见了你的苦情。

†[Wlb]又曰、尔今怀妊、必生男子、可命名以实玛利、盖耶和华已闻尔苦也、

†[Xdv]你将要生一个儿子；你要给他取名以实玛利（希伯来语的意思是：上帝垂听），因为上主听到你诉苦。

†[Kjv]And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

†[Nkjv]And the Angel of the LORD said to her: "Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has heard your affliction.

†[BBE]And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.

†[GNT] You are going to have a son, and you will name him Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your cry of distress.

†[NIV]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, for the Lord has heard of your misery.

本会注释　　这是上帝第一次为一位未出生的婴儿起名字（见创17:19；路1:13,31）。祂借此向夏甲表明祂对她及其后裔的关心。以实玛利就是“上帝听见”的意思。这个名字提醒着以实玛利，他是上帝仁慈眷佑的一个对象。

创16:12 他为人必象野驴。他的手要攻打人，人的手也要攻打他；他必住在众弟兄的东边。” (串)伯39:5|创25:18

†[吕]你儿子必像人类中的野驴：他的手必攻打人；人的手也必攻打他；他必居于和众邦亲相对的地位。”

†[思]他将来为人，像头野驴；他要反对众人，众人也要反对他；他要冲着自己的众兄弟支搭帐幕。”

†[当代]你这个儿子的性情会像一头野驴，他要跟人作对，别人也要跟他作对；他必住在他所有兄弟的东边。”

†[新译]他将来为人，必像野驴。他的手要攻打人，人的手也要攻打他。他必住在众兄弟的东面。”

†[Wlb]彼于人中、将为野驴、击众而众亦击之、其所居之地、在同族之东、

†[Xdv]你儿子将像一头野驴，处处敌对人；人也要敌对他。他要跟亲族隔离，独自生活。”

†[Kjv]And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

†[Nkjv]He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every man, And every man's hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."

†[BBE]And he will be like a mountain ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him, and he will keep his place against all his brothers.

†[GNT] But your son will live like a wild donkey; he will be against everyone, and everyone will be against him. He will live apart from all his relatives."

†[NIV]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."

本会注释　　他为人必象野驴。这里将他比作在沙漠中随意游荡的、无法驯服的野驴，生动地描述了贝都因人驰骋荒漠、对自由的热爱。他们粗犷俭朴，沉迷于自然界多姿多彩的美景而厌恶城市的生活。伯39:5-8节对野驴作了一个极赋诗意的描绘。
　　他的手要攻打人。这是对多数自称为以实玛利后代的阿拉伯人的准确描述。许多强大的国家曾试图征服阿拉伯半岛，其顺服他们的意志，但没有一个获得长期的成功。阿拉伯人一直保持着他们的独立，上帝一直保守着他们，使他们成为祂仁慈眷佑的永久纪念。他们今日依旧是这一神圣预言之真实性的一个不可辩驳的证据。

创16:13 夏甲就称那对她说话的耶和华为“看顾人的上帝”。因而说：“在这里我也看见那看顾我的吗？” (串)出33:20士13:22

†[吕]于是夏甲称那对她说话的永恒主叫‘你是看见万事的上帝’，因为她说：“连在这里我也居然看见那看着我的么？”

†[思]哈加尔遂给那对她说话的上主起名叫“你是看顾人的天主，”因为她说：“我不是也看见了那看顾人的天主吗？”

†[当代]夏甲看见了上帝以后，竟然还能活著！于是她就称对她说话的主为“体恤人的上帝”，

†[新译]于是，夏甲给那对她说话的耶和华，起名叫“你是看顾人的　神”，因为她说：“在这里我不是也看见了那位看顾人的吗？”

†[Wlb]夏甲蒙耶和华谕、则称其名曰监人之上帝、盖曰、我岂于此、瞻仰夫监我者乎、

†[Xdv]于是，夏甲向那位对她说话的上主说：“你是察看万事的上帝，我真的看见上帝而仍然活着来述说这件事吗？”

†[Kjv]And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

†[Nkjv]Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You-Are-the- God-Who-Sees; for she said, "Have I also here seen Him who sees me?"

†[BBE]And to the Lord who was talking with her she gave this name, You are a God who is seen; for she said, Have I not even here in the waste land had a vision of God and am still living?

†[GNT] Hagar asked herself, "Have I really seen God and lived to tell about it?" So she called the Lord, who had spoken to her, "A God Who Sees."

†[NIV]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."

本会注释　　这个经历使夏甲确信上帝向她说了话。她显然相信凡看见上帝的人必定要死（出20:19；33:20），因此她因看见祂却仍存活而感到惊讶。因此她称祂为“看顾人的上帝”，因祂不仅看顾了她，并在她危难时来到她面前，允许她看见祂而依旧存活。

创16:14 所以这井名叫庇耳拉海莱。这井正在加低斯和巴列中间。 (串)创24:62;25:11|创14:7;20:1民13:26

†[吕]因此这井名叫庇耳拉海莱：看哪，就在加低斯与巴列之间呢。

†[思]为此她给那井起名叫拉海洛依井。这井是在卡德士与贝勒得之间。

†[当代]因此，她就叫那口在加低斯和巴列之间的井做庇耳拉海莱，就是“那位活著的真神体恤我”的意思。

†[新译]因此，这井名叫庇耳拉海莱，是在加低斯和巴列之间。

†[Wlb]故其泉名曰庇耳拉海莱、译即维生监我者之井即在加低斯巴列之间、

†[Xdv]因此，人家叫那口井庇耳拉海莱；这口井在加低斯和巴列中间。

†[Kjv]Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

†[Nkjv]Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; observe, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

†[BBE]So that fountain was named, Fountain of Life and Vision: it is between Kadesh and Bered.

†[GNT] That is why people call the well between Kadesh and Bered "The Well of the Living One Who Sees Me."

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

本会注释　　从此这井被称为“那看顾我的永活者之井”。历代以来，在这口井旁饮水的阿拉伯人都会想起上帝曾在这里亲自向他们的祖先显现。
　　正在加低斯和巴列中间。这井在创24:62和25:11节也提到过，但其地理位置不详。由于巴列也是一个不为人知的地名，因此我们只能说这井一定位于迦南西南部的加低斯的西边，前往埃及的路上。有些学者将其认定为爱因加低斯井。阿拉伯人称该井为每拉希夏甲。

创16:15 后来夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个儿子；亚伯兰给他起名叫以实玛利。

†[吕]夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个儿子，亚伯兰给他的儿子、就是夏甲所生的、起名叫以实玛利。

†[思]哈加尔给亚巴郎生了一个儿子，亚巴郎给哈加尔所生的儿子，起名叫依市玛耳。

†[当代]夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个男孩，亚伯兰给他起名叫以实玛利。

†[新译]夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个儿子，亚伯兰就给夏甲所生的儿子，起名叫以实玛利。

†[Wlb]夏甲生子、亚伯兰命名以实玛利、

†[Xdv]夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个儿子；亚伯兰给他取名以实玛利。

†[Kjv]And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

†[Nkjv]So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

†[BBE]And Hagar gave birth to a child, the son of Abram, to whom Abram gave the name of Ishmael.

†[GNT] Hagar bore Abram a son, and he named him Ishmael.

†[NIV]So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.

本会注释　　按照上帝给夏甲的命令，亚伯兰给他的儿子起名叫以实玛利。在以后十三年里，亚伯兰似乎一直以为以实玛利就是所应许的后裔。当亚伯兰九十九岁的时候，上帝的旨意才更清晰地向他展示（见创17:1,18）。

创16:16 夏甲给亚伯兰生以实玛利的时候，亚伯兰年八十六岁。

†[吕]夏甲给亚伯兰生了以实玛利的时候，亚伯兰正八十六岁。

†[思]哈加尔给亚巴郎生依市玛耳时，亚巴郎已八十六岁。

†[当代]以实玛利出生的那一年亚伯兰是八十六岁。

†[新译]亚伯兰八十六岁的时候，夏甲给他生了以实玛利。

†[Wlb]夏甲生以实玛利时、亚伯兰年八十有六、

†[Xdv]夏甲为亚伯兰生以实玛利时亚伯兰八十六岁。
