1 Mosebog 21
1 Og Herren besøgte Sara, ligesom han havde sagt, og Herren gjorde ved Sara, efter som han havde talet.
Yahweh paid attention to Sarah as he had said he would, and Yahweh did for Sarah just as he had promised.
2 Og Sara undfik og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom paa den bestemte Tid, som Gud havde sagt ham.
Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham 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 named his son, the one who had been born to 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.
Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, just as God had commanded him.
5 Og Abraham var hundrede Aar gammel, der hans Søn Isak blev født ham.
Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Da sagde Sara: Gud har gjort mig til Latter; hver den, som hører dette, maa le ad mig.
Sarah said, “God has made me laugh; every one who hears 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 also said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children, and yet 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 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.
Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had 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.
So she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman will not be heir with my son, with Isaac.”
11 Og det Ord behagede Abraham saare ilde for hans Søns Skyld.
This thing was very grievous to Abraham because 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.
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be grieved because of the lad, and because of your servant woman. Listen to her words in all she says to you about this matter, because it is through Isaac that your descendants will be named.
13 Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre Tjenestekvindens Søn til et Folk, fordi han er din Sæd.
I will also make the son of the servant woman into a nation, because he is your descendant.”
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 rose up early in the morning, took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder. He gave her the boy and sent her away. She departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 Der Vandet var drukket af Flasken, da kastede hun Drengen under en af Buskene.
When the water in the waterskin was gone, she abandoned the child under one of the bushes.
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.
Then she went, and sat down a short distance from him, about the distance of a bowshot away, for she said, “Let me not look upon the death of the child.” As she sat there across from him, she 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 heard the voice of the lad, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has 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.
Get up, raise up the lad, and encourage him; for I will make him into 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.
Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.
20 Og Gud var med Drengen, og han vokste op og boede i Ørken og blev en Bueskytte.
God was with the lad, and he grew. He lived 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.
He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother got a wife for him 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.
It came about at that time that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, 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 offspring, nor with my descendants. Show to me and to the land in which you have been staying the same covenant faithfulness that I have shown to you.”
24 Da sagde Abraham: jeg vil sværge.
Abraham said, “I swear.”
25 Og Abraham straffede Abimelek for den Vandbrønds Skyld, som Abimeleks Tjenere havde borttaget med Vold.
Abraham also complained to Abimelech concerning a well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized from him.
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 said, “I do not know who has done this thing. You did not tell me before now; I have not heard of it until today.”
27 Da tog Abraham Faar og Kvæg og gav Abimelek, og de gjorde begge et Forbund.
So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
28 Og Abraham stillede syv Lam af Hjorden for sig selv.
Then Abraham set seven female 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 said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven female lambs that 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.
He replied, “These seven female lambs you will receive from my hand, so that it may be a witness for me, that I dug this well.”
31 Derfor kaldte han dette Sted Beersaba; thi der svore de begge.
So he called that place Beersheba, because there they both swore an oath.
32 Og de gjorde Forbund i Beersaba; da stod Abimelek op og Pikol, hans Stridshøvedsmand, og droge igen til Filisternes Land.
They made a covenant at Beersheba, and then Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, returned to the land of the Philistines.
33 Og han plantede en Lund i Beersaba og paakaldte der Herrens, den evige Guds, Navn.
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba. There he worshiped Yahweh, the eternal God.
34 Og Abraham var fremmed i Filisternes Land en lang Tid.
Abraham remained as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
