1 Mosebog 21
1 HERREN saa til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
And the LORD remembered Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as He had spoken.
2 og hun undfangede og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom, til den Tid 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 Abraham kaldte den Søn, han fik med Sara, Isak;
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 og Abraham omskar sin Søn Isak, da han var otte Dage gammel, saaledes som Gud havde paalagt ham.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Abraham var 100 Aar gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.
And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 Da sagde Sara: »Gud ham beredt mig Latter; enhver, der hører det, vil 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: »Hvem skulde have sagt Abraham, at Sara ammer Børn! Sandelig, jeg har født ham 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 Drengen voksede til og blev vænnet fra, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud, den Dag Isak blev vænnet fra.
And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 Men da Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, lege med hendes Søn Isak,
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, making sport.
10 sagde hun til Abraham: »Jag den Trælkvinde og hendes Søn bort, thi ikke skal denne Trælkvindes Søn arve sammen 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 Derover blev Abraham saare ilde til Mode for sin Søns Skyld;
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
12 men Gud sagde til Abraham: »Vær ikke ilde til Mode over Drengen og din Trælkvinde, men adlyd Sara i alt, hvad hun siger dig, thi efter Isak skal dit Afkom nævnes;
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 men ogsaa Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!«
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.'
14 Tidligt næste Morgen tog da Abraham Brød og en Sæk Vand og gav Hagar det, og Drengen satte han paa hendes Skulder, hvorpaa han sendte hende bort. Som hun nu vandrede af Sted, for hun vild i Be'ersjebas 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 og Vandet slap op i hendes Sæk; da lagde hun Drengen hen under en af Buskene
And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 og gik hen og satte sig i omtrent et Pileskuds Afstand derfra, idet hun sagde ved sig selv: »Jeg kan ikke udholde at se Drengen dø!« Og saaledes sad hun, medens Drengen græd højt.
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 Graad, og Guds Engel raabte til Hagar fra Himmelen og sagde til hende: »Hvad fattes dig, Hagar? Frygt ikke, thi Gud har hørt Drengens Røst der, hvor han ligger;
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 rejs dig, hjælp Drengen op og tag ham ved Haanden, 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 Da aabnede Gud hendes Øjne, saa hun fik Øje paa en Brønd med Vand; og hun gik hen og fyldte Sækken 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 voksede til; og han bosatte sig i Ørkenen og blev Bueskytte.
And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 Han boede i Parans Ørken, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru fra Ægypten.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 Ved den Tid sagde Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol til Abraham: »Gud er med dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for;
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 tilsværg mig derfor her ved Gud, at du aldrig vil være troløs mod mig eller mine Efterkommere, men at du vil handle lige saa venligt mod mig og det Land, du gæster, som jeg har handlet mod dig!«
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 svarede Abraham: »Jeg vil sværge!«
And Abraham said: 'I will swear.'
25 Men Abraham krævede Abimelek til Regnskab for en Brønd, som Abimeleks Folk havde tilranet sig.
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
26 Da svarede Abimelek: »Jeg ved intet om, hvem der har gjort det; hverken har du underrettet mig derom, ej heller har jeg hørt det før 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 Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg og gav Abimelek det, og derpaa sluttede de Pagt med hinanden.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
28 Men Abraham satte syv Lam til Side,
And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 og da Abimelek spurgte ham: »Hvad betyder de syv Lam, du der har sat til Side?«
And Abimelech said unto Abraham: 'What mean these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
30 svarede han: »Jo, de syv Lam skal du modtage af min Haand til Vidnesbyrd om, 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 man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
Wherefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there they swore both of them.
32 og de sluttede Pagt ved Be'ersjeba. Saa brød Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol op og vendte tilbage 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 Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og paakaldte der HERREN 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 boede en Tid lang; som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
