1 Mosebog 21
1 HERREN så til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did to 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 who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 og Abraham omskar sin Søn Isak, da han var otte Dage gammel, således som Gud havde pålagt ham.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Abraham var 100 År gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.
And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to 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. Everyone who hears 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 to Abraham, that Sarah should give sons 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 så 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 to 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!"
Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son. For the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
11 Derover blev Abraham såre 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 to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid. In all that Sarah says to thee, hearken to her voice. For in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 men også Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!"
And also I will make a nation of the son of the handmaid, 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 på hendes Skulder, hvorpå 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 to 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 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 således sad hun, medens Drengen græd højt.
And she went, and sat herself down opposite him a good way off, as it were a bowshot. For she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17 Da hørte Gud Drengens Gråd, og Guds Engel råbte 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 agent of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What troubles thee, 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 Hånden, thi jeg vil gøre ham til et stort Folk!"
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand, for I will make him a great nation.
19 Da åbnede Gud hendes Øjne, så hun fik Øje på 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, as he grew up, 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 for 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 army spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou 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 så venligt mod mig og det Land, du gæster, som jeg har handlet mod dig!"
Now therefore swear to me here by God that thou 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 to thee, thou shall do to me, and to the land in which thou 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 the well of water which Abimelech's servants had taken away violently.
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 thou tell me, nor yet did I hear of it, but today.
27 Da tog Abraham Småkvæg og Hornkvæg og gav Abimelek det, og derpå sluttede de Pagt med hinanden.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech. And the 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 to Abraham, What do these seven ewe lambs mean which thou have set by themselves?
30 svarede han: "Jo, de syv Lam skal du modtage af min Hånd til Vidnesbyrd om, at jeg har gravet denne Brønd."
And he said, These seven ewe lambs thou shall take from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.
31 Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there they swore both of them.
32 og de sluttede Pagt ved Be'ersjeba. Så brød Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol op og vendte tilbage til Filisternes Land.
So they made a covenant at Beersheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og påkaldte der HERREN den evige Guds Navn.
And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of Jehovah, 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.
