- 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。
- 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。
- 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。
- 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。
- 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。

- Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar;
- 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.
- 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.
- He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
- 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."
