1 Mosebog 21
1 Og Herren besøgte Sara, ligesom han havde sagt, og Herren gjorde ved Sara, efter som han havde talet.
And YHWH has looked after Sarah as He has said, and YHWH does to Sarah as He has spoken;
2 Og Sara undfik og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom paa den bestemte Tid, som Gud havde sagt ham.
and Sarah conceives, and bears a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God has spoken of with him;
3 Og Abraham kaldte sin Søns Navn, som var født ham, som Sara havde født ham, Isak.
and Abraham calls the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah has borne to him—Isaac;
4 Og Abraham omskar Isak sin Søn, der han var otte Dage gammel, ligesom Gud havde befalet ham.
and Abraham circumcises his son Isaac, [being] a son of eight days, as God has commanded him.
5 Og Abraham var hundrede Aar gammel, der hans Søn Isak blev født ham.
And Abraham [is] a son of one hundred years in his son Isaac being born to him,
6 Da sagde Sara: Gud har gjort mig til Latter; hver den, som hører dette, maa le ad mig.
and Sarah says, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who is hearing laughs for 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.
She also says, “Who has said to Abraham, Sarah has suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?”
8 Og Barnet vokste op og blev afvant, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud den Dag, Isak blev afvant.
And the boy grows, and is weaned, and Abraham makes a great banquet in the day of Isaac’s being weaned;
9 Og Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, at han spottede.
and Sarah sees the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she has borne to Abraham, mocking,
10 Og hun sagde til Abraham: Uddriv denne Tjenestekvinde og hendes Søn; thi denne Tjenestekvindes Søn skal ikke arve med min Søn, med Isak.
and she says to Abraham, “Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid has no possession with my son—with Isaac.”
11 Og det Ord behagede Abraham saare ilde for hans Søns Skyld.
And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son’s sake;
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 says to Abraham, “Let it not be wrong in your eyes because of the youth, and because of your handmaid: all that Sarah says to you—listen to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to you.
13 Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre Tjenestekvindens Søn til et Folk, fordi han er din Sæd.
As for the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] your 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 rises early in the morning, and takes bread, and a bottle of water, and gives to Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the boy, and sends her out; and she goes on, and goes astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
15 Der Vandet var drukket af Flasken, da kastede hun Drengen under en af Buskene.
and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she places the boy 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 goes and sits by herself opposite [him], far off, about a bow-shot, for she said, “Do not let me look on the death of the boy”; and she sits opposite [him], and lifts up her voice, and weeps.
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 hears the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calls to Hagar from the heavens and says to her, “What to you, Hagar? Do not fear; for God has listened to the voice of the youth 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.
rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with your hand, for I set him for 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 opens her eyes, and she sees a well of water, and she goes and fills the bottle [with] water, and causes the youth to drink;
20 Og Gud var med Drengen, og han vokste op og boede i Ørken og blev en Bueskytte.
and God is with the youth, and he grows, and dwells in the wilderness, and is an archer;
21 Og han boede i den Ørken Paran, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru af Ægyptens Land.
and he dwells in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother takes for him a wife from 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 comes to pass at that time that Abimelech speaks—Phichol also, head of his host—to Abraham, saying, “God [is] with you in all that you are doing;
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.
and now, swear to me by God here: you do not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with you—do with me, and with the land in which you have sojourned.”
24 Da sagde Abraham: jeg vil sværge.
And Abraham says, “I swear.”
25 Og Abraham straffede Abimelek for den Vandbrønds Skyld, som Abimeleks Tjenere havde borttaget med Vold.
And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants have 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 says, “I have not known who has done this thing, and even you did not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard except today.”
27 Da tog Abraham Faar og Kvæg og gav Abimelek, og de gjorde begge et Forbund.
And Abraham takes sheep and oxen, and gives to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
28 Og Abraham stillede syv Lam af Hjorden for sig selv.
and Abraham sets seven 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 says to Abraham, “What [are] they—these seven lambs which you have 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 says, “For—the seven lambs you accept from my hand, so that it becomes a witness for me that I have dug this well”;
31 Derfor kaldte han dette Sted Beersaba; thi der svore de begge.
therefore he has called that place “Beer-Sheba,” for both of them have sworn there.
32 Og de gjorde Forbund i Beersaba; da stod Abimelek op og Pikol, hans Stridshøvedsmand, og droge igen til Filisternes Land.
And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech rises—Phichol also, head of his host—and they return to the land of the Philistines;
33 Og han plantede en Lund i Beersaba og paakaldte der Herrens, den evige Guds, Navn.
and [Abraham] plants a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preaches there in the Name of YHWH, the perpetual God;
34 Og Abraham var fremmed i Filisternes Land en lang Tid.
and Abraham sojourns in the land of the Philistines many days.
