1 Mosebog 21
1 Og Herren besøgte Sara, ligesom han havde sagt, og Herren gjorde ved Sara, efter som han havde talet.
And the LORD remembered Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as He had spoken.
2 Og Sara undfik og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom paa den bestemte Tid, som Gud havde sagt ham.
And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 Og Abraham kaldte sin Søns Navn, som var født ham, som Sara havde født ham, Isak.
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 Og Abraham omskar Isak sin Søn, der han var otte Dage gammel, ligesom Gud havde befalet ham.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Og Abraham var hundrede Aar gammel, der hans Søn Isak blev født ham.
And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 Da sagde Sara: Gud har gjort mig til Latter; hver den, som hører dette, maa le ad mig.
And Sarah said: 'God hath made laughter for me; every one that heareth will laugh on account of me.'
7 Og hun sagde: Hvo skulde have sagt til Abraham: Sara har givet Børn at die; thi jeg har født en Søn i hans Alderdom.
And she said: 'Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.'
8 Og Barnet vokste op og blev afvant, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud den Dag, Isak blev afvant.
And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 Og Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, at han spottede.
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, making sport.
10 Og hun sagde til Abraham: Uddriv denne Tjenestekvinde og hendes Søn; thi denne Tjenestekvindes Søn skal ikke arve med min Søn, med Isak.
Wherefore she said unto Abraham: 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.'
11 Og det Ord behagede Abraham saare ilde for hans Søns Skyld.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
12 Men Gud sagde til Abraham: Lad det ikke behage dig ilde for Drengen og for din Tjenestekvinde; i hvad som helst Sara siger dig, lyd hendes Røst; thi udi Isak skal Sæden kaldes dig.
And God said unto Abraham: 'Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall seed be called to thee.
13 Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre Tjenestekvindens Søn til et Folk, fordi han er din Sæd.
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.'
14 Da stod Abraham aarle op om Morgenen og tog Brød og en Flaske Vand og gav Hagar og lagde det paa hendes Skuldre og flyede hende Drengen og lod hende fare; da drog hun hen og for vild i Beersaba Ørken.
And Abraham arose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and strayed in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 Der Vandet var drukket af Flasken, da kastede hun Drengen under en af Buskene.
And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 Og hun gik og satte sig tværs overfor, efter at hun var gaaet et Pileskud derfra; thi hun sagde: Jeg vil ikke se paa Drengens Død. Saa satte hun sig tværs overfor og opløftede sin Røst og græd.
And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow-shot; for she said: 'Let me not look upon the death of the child.' And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17 Da hørte Gud Drengens Røst, og Guds Engel raabte til Hagar af Himmelen og sagde til hende: Hvad fattes dig, Hagar? frygt intet; thi Gud har hørt Drengens Røst, der hvor han er.
And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her: 'What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Staa op, opløft Drengen og hold fast paa ham med din Haand; thi jeg vil gøre ham til et stort Folk.
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast by thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.'
19 Og Gud oplod hendes Øjne, at hun saa en Vandbrønd, saa gik hun og fyldte Flasken med Vand og gav Drengen at drikke.
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
20 Og Gud var med Drengen, og han vokste op og boede i Ørken og blev en Bueskytte.
And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 Og han boede i den Ørken Paran, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru af Ægyptens Land.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 Og det skete paa den samme Tid, da talede Abimelek og Pikol, hans Stridshøvedsmand, til Abraham og sagde: Gud er med dig i alt det, du gør.
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spoke unto Abraham, saying: 'God is with thee in all that thou doest.
23 Saa sværg mig nu her ved Gud, at du ikke vil handle svigefuldt imod mig og min Søn og min Sønnesøn; efter den Miskundhed, som jeg har gjort mod dig, skal du gøre mod mig og mod Landet, i hvilket du har været fremmed.
Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son; but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.'
24 Da sagde Abraham: jeg vil sværge.
And Abraham said: 'I will swear.'
25 Og Abraham straffede Abimelek for den Vandbrønds Skyld, som Abimeleks Tjenere havde borttaget med Vold.
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
26 Da svarede Abimelek: Jeg vidste ikke, hvem der gjorde dette, og du har heller ikke givet mig det til Kende, og jeg har heller ikke hørt det førend i Dag.
And Abimelech said: 'I know not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day.'
27 Da tog Abraham Faar og Kvæg og gav Abimelek, og de gjorde begge et Forbund.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
28 Og Abraham stillede syv Lam af Hjorden for sig selv.
And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Da sagde Abimelek til Abraham: Hvad skulle, disse syv Lam her, som du stillede for sig selv?
And Abimelech said unto Abraham: 'What mean these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
30 Og han svarede: Fordi du skal tage syv Lam af min Haand; og det skal være mig til et Vidnesbyrd, at jeg har gravet denne Brønd.
And he said: 'Verily, these seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.'
31 Derfor kaldte han dette Sted Beersaba; thi der svore de begge.
Wherefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there they swore both of them.
32 Og de gjorde Forbund i Beersaba; da stod Abimelek op og Pikol, hans Stridshøvedsmand, og droge igen til Filisternes Land.
So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba; and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 Og han plantede en Lund i Beersaba og paakaldte der Herrens, den evige Guds, Navn.
And Abraham planted a tamarisk-tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
34 Og Abraham var fremmed i Filisternes Land en lang Tid.
And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
