< Genesis 21 >
1 And the Lord came to Sarah as he had said and did to her as he had undertaken.
And Yahweh he visited Sarah just as he had said and he did Yahweh to Sarah just as he had spoken.
2 And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God.
And she conceived and she bore Sarah to Abraham a son of old age his to the appointed time which he had spoken with him God.
3 And Abraham gave to his son, to whom Sarah had given birth, the name Isaac.
And he called Abraham [the] name of son his who had been born to him whom she had borne to him Sarah Isaac.
4 And when his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham made him undergo circumcision, as God had said to him.
And he circumcised Abraham Isaac son his a son of eight days just as he had commanded him God.
5 Now Abraham was a hundred years old when the birth of Isaac took place.
And Abraham [was] a son of one hundred year[s] when was born to him Isaac son his.
6 And Sarah said, God has given me cause for laughing, and everyone who has news of it will be laughing with me.
And she said Sarah laughter he has made for me God everyone who hears he will laugh to me.
7 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would have a child at her breast? for see, I have given him a son now when he is old.
And she said who? has he said to Abraham she has suckled children Sarah for I have borne a son of old age his.
8 And when the child was old enough to be taken from the breast, Abraham made a great feast.
And he grew up the child and he was weaned and he prepared Abraham a feast great on [the] day was weaned Isaac.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with Isaac.
And she saw Sarah [the] son of Hagar the Egyptian whom she had borne to Abraham mocking.
10 So she said to Abraham, Send away that woman and her son: for the son of that woman is not to have a part in the heritage with my son Isaac.
And she said to Abraham drive out the slave woman this and son her for not he will inherit [the] son of the slave woman this with son my with Isaac.
11 And this was a great grief to Abraham because of his son.
And it was displeasing the matter exceedingly in [the] eyes of Abraham on [the] causes of son his.
12 But God said, Let it not be a grief to you because of the boy and Hagar his mother; give ear to whatever Sarah says to you, because it is from Isaac that your seed will take its name.
And he said God to Abraham may not it be displeasing in view your on the lad and on slave woman your all that she says to you Sarah listen to voice her for in Isaac it will be named of you offspring.
13 And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed.
And also [the] son of the slave woman into a nation I will make him for [is] offspring your he.
14 And early in the morning Abraham got up, and gave Hagar some bread and a water-skin, and put the boy on her back, and sent her away: and she went, wandering in the waste land of Beer-sheba.
And he rose early Abraham - in the morning and he took food and a skin of water and he gave [them] to Hagar placing on shoulder her and the boy and he sent away her and she went and she wandered in [the] wilderness of Beer Sheba.
15 And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.
And they were finished the water from the skin and she threw the boy under one of the bushes.
16 And she went some distance away, about an arrow flight, and seating herself on the earth, she gave way to bitter weeping, saying, Let me not see the death of my child.
And she went and she sat for herself from before at a distance like [the] shooters of a bow for she said may not I look on [the] death of the boy and she sat from before and she lifted up voice her and she wept.
17 And the boy's cry came to the ears of God; and the angel of God said to Hagar from heaven, Hagar, why are you weeping? have no fear, for the child's cry has come to the ears of God.
And he heard God [the] sound of the lad and he called [the] angel of God - to Hagar from the heavens and he said to her what? [is] to you O Hagar may not you be afraid for he has heard God [the] sound of the lad at where he [is] there.
18 Come, take your child in your arms, for I will make of him a great nation.
Arise lift up the lad and take hold hand your on him for into a nation great I will make him.
19 Then God made her eyes open, and she saw a water-spring, and she got water in the skin and gave the boy a drink.
And he opened God eyes her and she saw a well of water and she went and she filled the skin water and she gave a drink to the lad.
20 And God was with the boy, and he became tall and strong, and he became a bowman, living in the waste land.
And he was God with the lad and he grew up and he dwelt in the wilderness and he was a shooter a bowman.
21 And while he was in the waste land of Paran, his mother got him a wife from the land of Egypt.
And he dwelt in [the] wilderness of Paran and she took for him mother his a wife from [the] land of Egypt.
22 Now at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, said to Abraham, I see that God is with you in all you do.
And it was at the time that and he said Abimelech and Phicol [the] commander of army his to Abraham saying God [is] with you in all that you [are] doing.
23 Now, then, give me your oath, in the name of God, that you will not be false to me or to my sons after me, but that as I have been good to you, so you will be to me and to this land where you have been living.
And therefore swear! to me by God here if you will deal falsely to me and to posterity my and to progeny my according to the loyalty which I have done with you you will do with me and with the land which you have sojourned in it.
24 And Abraham said, I will give you my oath.
And he said Abraham I I will swear.
25 But Abraham made a protest to Abimelech because of a water-hole which Abimelech's servants had taken by force.
And he rebuked Abraham Abimelech on [the] causes of [the] well of water which they had seized [the] servants of Abimelech.
26 But Abimelech said, I have no idea who has done this thing; you never gave me word of it, and I had no knowledge of it till this day.
And he said Abimelech not I know who? has he done the thing this and also you not you told to me and also I not I heard except this day.
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made an agreement together.
And he took Abraham sheep and cattle and he gave [them] to Abimelech and they made [the] two of them a covenant.
28 And Abraham put seven young lambs of the flock on one side by themselves.
And he set Abraham seven ewe-lambs of the flock to alone them.
29 Then Abimelech said, What are these seven lambs which you have put on one side?
And he said Abimelech to Abraham what? [are] they seven ewe-lambs these which you have set to alone them.
30 And he said, Take these seven lambs from me as a witness that I have made this water-hole.
And he said that seven ewe-lambs you will take from hand my in order that it may become for me a witness for I dug the well this.
31 So he gave that place the name Beer-sheba, because there the two of them had given their oaths.
There-fore he called the place that Beer Sheba for there they swore an oath [the] two of them.
32 So they made an agreement at Beer-sheba, and Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, went back to the land of the Philistines.
And they made a covenant at Beer Sheba and he arose Abimelech and Phicol [the] commander of army his and they returned to [the] land of [the] Philistines.
33 And Abraham, after planting a holy tree in Beer-sheba, gave worship to the name of the Lord, the Eternal God.
And he planted a tamarisk tree in Beer Sheba and he called there on [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of perpetuity.
34 And Abraham went on living in the land of the Philistines as in a strange country.
And he sojourned Abraham in [the] land of [the] Philistines days many.
