1 Mosebog 21
1 HERREN så til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
Now, Yahweh, visited Sarah, as he had said, —And Yahweh did for Sarah as he had spoken.
2 og hun undfangede og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom, til den Tid Gud havde sagt ham.
So, Sarah, conceived and bare, to Abraham, a son, for his old age, at the set time, of which God had spoken with him.
3 Abraham kaldte den Søn, han fik med Sara, Isak;
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom, Sarah, bare 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 Isaac his son, when eight days old, —as God commanded him.
5 Abraham var 100 År gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.
Now Abraham was a hundred years old, —when Isaac his son was born to him.
6 Da sagde Sara: "Gud ham beredt mig Latter; enhver, der hører det, vil le ad mig."
And Sarah said, A laughing, hath God made for me, —Everyone that heareth 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 announced to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled children? yet have I borne a son, for 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 banquet, on the day of the weaning of Isaac.
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 woman whom she had borne to Abraham laughing!
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!"
So she said to Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, —for the son of this bondwoman must not inherit with my son with Isaac.
11 Derover blev Abraham såre ilde til Mode for sin Søns Skyld;
And the word was very grievous in the eyes of Abraham, —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 thine eyes concerning the boy and concerning thy bondwoman, In all that Sarah may say unto thee, hearken to her voice, —For in Isaac, shall there be called to thee—a seed.
13 men også Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!"
Yet even the son of the bondwoman, will I appoint to become, a nation, because thy seed, he is.
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,
So Abraham rose up early in the morning—and took bread and a skin of water and gave unto hagar, —putting them on her shoulder and the child, and sent her forth, —so she went her way and wandered, in the desert of Beer-sheba.
15 og Vandet slap op i hendes Sæk; da lagde hun Drengen hen under en af Buskene
And the water out of the skin was spent, —so 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 went and sat her down over against him at a distance like as of such as draw the bow, for she said Let me not look upon the death of the child, —So she sat down over against him, and the boy lifted up his 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 boy, and a messenger of God called unto Hagar out of the heavens; and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? Do not fear, for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the boy 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 boy, and hold him up with thy hand, —for, a great nation, will I make him.
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 went and filled the skin with water, and gave drink unto the boy
20 Og Gud var med Drengen, og han voksede til; og han bosatte sig i Ørkenen og blev Bueskytte.
And it came to pass that God was with the boy, and he grew, —and dwelt in the desert, and he 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 desert 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, with Phicol chieftain of his host, spake unto Abraham, saying, —God, is with thee in all that, thou art doing.
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 by God, here, that thou wilt not deal falsely by me, nor by mine offspring, nor by my descendants, —according to the lovingkindness wherewith I have dealt with thee, shalt thou deal with me, and with 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.
But Abraham reproved Abimelech, —on account of the well of water, which the servants of Abimelech had seized.
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, —nor hast even thou, ever told me, nor have even I, ever heard, save to-day.
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 to Abimelech, —and they two solemnised a covenant
28 Men Abraham satte syv Lam til Side,
So then Abraham set seven young sheep of the flock by them-selves,
29 og da Abimelek spurgte ham: "Hvad betyder de syv Lam, du der har sat til Side?"
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What, then mean these seven young sheep here, which thou hast 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, The seven young sheep, shalt thou take at my hand, —that they may serve as my witness, that I digged this well.
31 Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
On this account, was the name of that place called Beer-sheba ["oath well"], —because there, had they two sworn.
32 og de sluttede Pagt ved Be'ersjeba. Så brød Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol op og vendte tilbage til Filisternes Land.
And when they had solemnised a covenant in Beer-sheba, —then arose Abimelech, with Phicol chief of his host, and returned unto the land of the Philistines.
33 Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og påkaldte der HERREN den evige Guds Navn.
Then planted he a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, —and called there on the name of Yahweh the age-abiding GOD.
34 Og Abraham boede en Tid lang; som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
So Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
