1 Mosebog 21
1 HERREN saa til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
And the LORD visited 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.
For Sarah conceived, and bare 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 bare 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 being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Abraham var 100 Aar gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.
And Abraham was an 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 has made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with 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 have given children suck? for I have born 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 the same 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, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
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 because 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 your sight because of the lad, and because of your bondwoman; in all that Sarah has said unto you, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall your seed be called.
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 your 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 rose 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 wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 og Vandet slap op i hendes Sæk; da lagde hun Drengen hen under en af Buskene
And the water was spent in the bottle, 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 opposite to him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat opposite to him, and lift 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 disturbs you, Hagar? fear not; for God has 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 in your 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 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 Phichol the chief captain of his host spoke unto Abraham, saying, God is with you in all that you do:
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 you will 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 you, you shall do unto me, and to the land wherein you have 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 a 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 has done this thing; neither did you 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 both of them 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 you have 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, For these seven ewe lambs shall you take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have dug this well.
31 Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; 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.
Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief 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 grove in Beersheba, 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 Philistines' land many days.
