Genesis 21
1 Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
HERREN saa til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
2 So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
og hun undfangede og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom, til den Tid Gud havde sagt ham.
3 And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
Abraham kaldte den Søn, han fik med Sara, Isak;
4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
og Abraham omskar sin Søn Isak, da han var otte Dage gammel, saaledes som Gud havde paalagt ham.
5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
Abraham var 100 Aar gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.
6 Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
Da sagde Sara: »Gud ham beredt mig Latter; enhver, der hører det, vil le ad mig.«
7 She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
Og hun sagde: »Hvem skulde have sagt Abraham, at Sara ammer Børn! Sandelig, jeg har født ham en Søn i hans Alderdom!«
8 So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
Drengen voksede til og blev vænnet fra, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud, den Dag Isak blev vænnet fra.
9 But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
Men da Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, lege med hendes Søn Isak,
10 and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”
sagde hun til Abraham: »Jag den Trælkvinde og hendes Søn bort, thi ikke skal denne Trælkvindes Søn arve sammen med min Søn, med Isak!«
11 Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
Derover blev Abraham saare ilde til Mode for sin Søns Skyld;
12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.
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;
13 But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
men ogsaa Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!«
14 Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
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,
15 When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
og Vandet slap op i hendes Sæk; da lagde hun Drengen hen under en af Buskene
16 Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I cannot bear to watch the boy die!” And as she sat nearby, she lifted up her voice and wept.
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.
17 Then God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he lies.
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;
18 Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
rejs dig, hjælp Drengen op og tag ham ved Haanden, thi jeg vil gøre ham til et stort Folk!«
19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
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.
20 And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
Og Gud var med Drengen, og han voksede til; og han bosatte sig i Ørkenen og blev Bueskytte.
21 And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Han boede i Parans Ørken, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru fra Ægypten.
22 At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
Ved den Tid sagde Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol til Abraham: »Gud er med dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for;
23 Now, therefore, swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
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!«
24 And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
Da svarede Abraham: »Jeg vil sværge!«
25 But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
Men Abraham krævede Abimelek til Regnskab for en Brønd, som Abimeleks Folk havde tilranet sig.
26 Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”
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!«
27 So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
Da tog Abraham Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg og gav Abimelek det, og derpaa sluttede de Pagt med hinanden.
28 Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
Men Abraham satte syv Lam til Side,
29 and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
og da Abimelek spurgte ham: »Hvad betyder de syv Lam, du der har sat til Side?«
30 He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
svarede han: »Jo, de syv Lam skal du modtage af min Haand til Vidnesbyrd om, at jeg har gravet denne Brønd.«
31 So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
32 After they had made the covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army got up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
og de sluttede Pagt ved Be'ersjeba. Saa brød Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol op og vendte tilbage til Filisternes Land.
33 And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og paakaldte der HERREN den evige Guds Navn.
34 And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
Og Abraham boede en Tid lang; som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
