1 Mosebog 21
1 Og Herren besøgte Sara, ligesom han havde sagt, og Herren gjorde ved Sara, efter som han havde talet.
Adonai visited Sarah [Princess] as he had said, and Adonai did to Sarah [Princess] 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.
Sarah [Princess] conceived, and bore Abraham [Father of a multitude] 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.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah [Princess] bore to him, Isaac [Laughter].
4 Og Abraham omskar Isak sin Søn, der han var otte Dage gammel, ligesom Gud havde befalet ham.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] circumcised his son, Isaac [Laughter], when he was eight days old, as God had enjoined him.
5 Og Abraham var hundrede Aar gammel, der hans Søn Isak blev født ham.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac [Laughter], was born to him.
6 Da sagde Sara: Gud har gjort mig til Latter; hver den, som hører dette, maa le ad mig.
Sarah [Princess] said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who sh'ma ·hears obeys· will laugh with 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 said, “Who would have said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], that Sarah [Princess] would nurse children? 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.
The child grew, and was cameled. Abraham [Father of a multitude] made a great feast on the day that Isaac [Laughter] was cameled.
9 Og Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, at han spottede.
Sarah [Princess] saw the son of Hagar [Flight] the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], whom she had borne to Abraham [Father of a multitude], metzahek ·lewd and irreverent jokes·.
10 Og hun sagde til Abraham: Uddriv denne Tjenestekvinde og hendes Søn; thi denne Tjenestekvindes Søn skal ikke arve med min Søn, med Isak.
Therefore she said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “Divorce and cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac [Laughter].”
11 Og det Ord behagede Abraham saare ilde for hans Søns Skyld.
The thing was very grievous in Abraham [Father of a multitude]’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.
God said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah [Princess] says to you, sh'ma ·hear obey· her voice. For your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac [Laughter].
13 Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre Tjenestekvindens Søn til et Folk, fordi han er din Sæd.
I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
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.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar [Flight], putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath].
15 Der Vandet var drukket af Flasken, da kastede hun Drengen under en af Buskene.
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.
She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” 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.
God sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of the boy. Ha mal'ak Elohim [The Angel of God] called to Hagar [Flight] out of the sky, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar [Flight]? Don’t be afraid. For God has sh'ma ·hear obey· the voice of the boy 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.
Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him in your 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.
God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink.
20 Og Gud var med Drengen, og han vokste op og boede i Ørken og blev en Bueskytte.
God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
21 Og han boede i den Ørken Paran, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru af Ægyptens Land.
He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
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.
At that time, Abimelech [My father king] and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham [Father of a multitude], saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
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 to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the chesed ·loving-kindness· that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
24 Da sagde Abraham: jeg vil sværge.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, “I will swear.”
25 Og Abraham straffede Abimelek for den Vandbrønds Skyld, som Abimeleks Tjenere havde borttaget med Vold.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] complained to Abimelech [My father king] because of a water well, which Abimelech [My father king]’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.
Abimelech [My father king] said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of it until today.”
27 Da tog Abraham Faar og Kvæg og gav Abimelek, og de gjorde begge et Forbund.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech [My father king]. Those two made a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·.
28 Og Abraham stillede syv Lam af Hjorden for sig selv.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] 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?
Abimelech [My father king] said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?”
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.
He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”
31 Derfor kaldte han dette Sted Beersaba; thi der svore de begge.
Therefore he called that place Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], because they both swore there.
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 Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath]. Abimelech [My father king] rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)].
33 Og han plantede en Lund i Beersaba og paakaldte der Herrens, den evige Guds, Navn.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] planted a tamarisk tree in Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], and called there on the name of Adonai, the El 'Olam [God Everlasting].
34 Og Abraham var fremmed i Filisternes Land en lang Tid.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] many days.
