Genesis 21
1 And the Lord visited Sarrha, as he said, and the Lord did to Sarrha, as he spoke.
HERREN saa til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
2 And she conceived and bore to Abraam a son in old age, at the set time according as the Lord spoke to him.
og hun undfangede og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom, til den Tid Gud havde sagt ham.
3 And Abraam called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarrha bore to him, Isaac.
Abraham kaldte den Søn, han fik med Sara, Isak;
4 And Abraam circumcised Isaac on the eighth day, as God commanded him.
og Abraham omskar sin Søn Isak, da han var otte Dage gammel, saaledes som Gud havde paalagt ham.
5 And Abraam was a hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him.
Abraham var 100 Aar gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.
6 And Sarrha said, The Lord has made laughter for me, for whoever shall hear shall rejoice with me.
Da sagde Sara: »Gud ham beredt mig Latter; enhver, der hører det, vil le ad mig.«
7 And she said, Who shall say to Abraam that Sarrha suckles a child? for I have born a child in my 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 And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraam made a great feast the day that his son Isaac was weaned.
Drengen voksede til og blev vænnet fra, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud, den Dag Isak blev vænnet fra.
9 And Sarrha having seen the son of Agar the Egyptian who was born to Abraam, sporting with Isaac her son,
Men da Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, lege med hendes Søn Isak,
10 then she said to Abraam, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not inherit 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 But the word appeared very hard before Abraam concerning his son.
Derover blev Abraham saare ilde til Mode for sin Søns Skyld;
12 But God said to Abraam, Let it not be hard before thee concerning the child, and concerning the bondwoman; in all things whatsoever Sarrha shall say to thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
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 And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
men ogsaa Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!«
14 And Abraam rose up in the morning and took loaves and a skin of water, and gave [them] to Agar, and he put the child on her shoulder, and sent her away, and she having departed wandered in the wilderness near the well of the oath.
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 And the water failed out of the skin, and she cast the child under a fir tree.
og Vandet slap op i hendes Sæk; da lagde hun Drengen hen under en af Buskene
16 And she departed and sat down opposite him at a distance, as it were a bow-shot, for she said, Surely I cannot see the death of my child: and she sat opposite him, and the child cried aloud 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 And God heard the voice of the child from the place where he was, and an angel of God called Agar out of heaven, and said to her, What is it, Agar? fear not, for God has heard the voice of the child from the place where he is.
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 Rise up, and take the child, and hold him in thine hand, for I will make him a great nation.
rejs dig, hjælp Drengen op og tag ham ved Haanden, thi jeg vil gøre ham til et stort Folk!«
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of springing water; and she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the child 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 child, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Og Gud var med Drengen, og han voksede til; og han bosatte sig i Ørkenen og blev Bueskytte.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness, and his mother took him a wife out of Pharan of Egypt.
Han boede i Parans Ørken, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru fra Ægypten.
22 And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke, and Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, to Abraam, saying, God is with thee in all things, whatsoever thou mayest 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 by God that thou wilt not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name, but according to the righteousness which I have performed with thee thou shalt deal with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.
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 Abraam said, I will swear.
Da svarede Abraham: »Jeg vil sværge!«
25 And Abraam reproved Abimelech because of the wells of water, which the servants of Abimelech took away.
Men Abraham krævede Abimelek til Regnskab for en Brønd, som Abimeleks Folk havde tilranet sig.
26 And Abimelech said to him, I know not who has done this thing to thee, neither didst thou tell it me, neither heard I it but only to-day.
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 And Abraam took sheep and calves, and gave them to Abimelech, and both made a covenant.
Da tog Abraham Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg og gav Abimelek det, og derpaa sluttede de Pagt med hinanden.
28 And Abraam set seven ewe-lambs by themselves.
Men Abraham satte syv Lam til Side,
29 And Abimelech said to Abraam, What are these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set alone?
og da Abimelek spurgte ham: »Hvad betyder de syv Lam, du der har sat til Side?«
30 And Abraam said, Thou shalt receive the seven ewe-lambs of me, that they may be for me as a 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 Therefore he named the name of that place, The Well of the Oath, for there they both swore.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
32 And they made a covenant at the well of the oath. And there rose up Abimelech, Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army, and they returned to the land of the Phylistines.
og de sluttede Pagt ved Be'ersjeba. Saa brød Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol op og vendte tilbage til Filisternes Land.
33 And Abraam planted a field at the well of the oath, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og paakaldte der HERREN den evige Guds Navn.
34 And Abraam sojourned in the land of the Phylistines many days.
Og Abraham boede en Tid lang; som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
