Genesis 21
1 And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.
Og Herren besøgte Sara, ligesom han havde sagt, og Herren gjorde ved Sara, efter som han havde talet.
2 And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.
Og Sara undfik og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom paa den bestemte Tid, som Gud havde sagt ham.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.
Og Abraham kaldte sin Søns Navn, som var født ham, som Sara havde født ham, Isak.
4 And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,
Og Abraham omskar Isak sin Søn, der han var otte Dage gammel, ligesom Gud havde befalet ham.
5 When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born.
Og Abraham var hundrede Aar gammel, der hans Søn Isak blev født ham.
6 And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me.
Da sagde Sara: Gud har gjort mig til Latter; hver den, som hører dette, maa le ad mig.
7 And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age.
Og hun sagde: Hvo skulde have sagt til Abraham: Sara har givet Børn at die; thi jeg har født en Søn i hans Alderdom.
8 And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
Og Barnet vokste op og blev afvant, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud den Dag, Isak blev afvant.
9 And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the Egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham:
Og Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, at han spottede.
10 Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.
Og hun sagde til Abraham: Uddriv denne Tjenestekvinde og hendes Søn; thi denne Tjenestekvindes Søn skal ikke arve med min Søn, med Isak.
11 Abraham took this grievously for his son.
Og det Ord behagede Abraham saare ilde for hans Søns Skyld.
12 And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Men Gud sagde til Abraham: Lad det ikke behage dig ilde for Drengen og for din Tjenestekvinde; i hvad som helst Sara siger dig, lyd hendes Røst; thi udi Isak skal Sæden kaldes dig.
13 But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre Tjenestekvindens Søn til et Folk, fordi han er din Sæd.
14 So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee.
Da stod Abraham aarle op om Morgenen og tog Brød og en Flaske Vand og gav Hagar og lagde det paa hendes Skuldre og flyede hende Drengen og lod hende fare; da drog hun hen og for vild i Beersaba Ørken.
15 And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.
Der Vandet var drukket af Flasken, da kastede hun Drengen under en af Buskene.
16 And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, she lifted up her voice and wept.
Og hun gik og satte sig tværs overfor, efter at hun var gaaet et Pileskud derfra; thi hun sagde: Jeg vil ikke se paa Drengens Død. Saa satte hun sig tværs overfor og opløftede sin Røst og græd.
17 And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.
Da hørte Gud Drengens Røst, og Guds Engel raabte til Hagar af Himmelen og sagde til hende: Hvad fattes dig, Hagar? frygt intet; thi Gud har hørt Drengens Røst, der hvor han er.
18 Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.
Staa op, opløft Drengen og hold fast paa ham med din Haand; thi jeg vil gøre ham til et stort Folk.
19 And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink.
Og Gud oplod hendes Øjne, at hun saa en Vandbrønd, saa gik hun og fyldte Flasken med Vand og gav Drengen at drikke.
20 And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.
Og Gud var med Drengen, og han vokste op og boede i Ørken og blev en Bueskytte.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
Og han boede i den Ørken Paran, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru af Ægyptens Land.
22 At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.
Og det skete paa den samme Tid, da talede Abimelek og Pikol, hans Stridshøvedsmand, til Abraham og sagde: Gud er med dig i alt det, du gør.
23 Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger.
Saa sværg mig nu her ved Gud, at du ikke vil handle svigefuldt imod mig og min Søn og min Sønnesøn; efter den Miskundhed, som jeg har gjort mod dig, skal du gøre mod mig og mod Landet, i hvilket du har været fremmed.
24 And Abraham said: I will swear.
Da sagde Abraham: jeg vil sværge.
25 And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
Og Abraham straffede Abimelek for den Vandbrønds Skyld, som Abimeleks Tjenere havde borttaget med Vold.
26 And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today.
Da svarede Abimelek: Jeg vidste ikke, hvem der gjorde dette, og du har heller ikke givet mig det til Kende, og jeg har heller ikke hørt det førend i Dag.
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.
Da tog Abraham Faar og Kvæg og gav Abimelek, og de gjorde begge et Forbund.
28 And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.
Og Abraham stillede syv Lam af Hjorden for sig selv.
29 And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?
Da sagde Abimelek til Abraham: Hvad skulle, disse syv Lam her, som du stillede for sig selv?
30 But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.
Og han svarede: Fordi du skal tage syv Lam af min Haand; og det skal være mig til et Vidnesbyrd, at jeg har gravet denne Brønd.
31 Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because there both of them did swear.
Derfor kaldte han dette Sted Beersaba; thi der svore de begge.
32 And they made a league for the well of oath.
Og de gjorde Forbund i Beersaba; da stod Abimelek op og Pikol, hans Stridshøvedsmand, og droge igen til Filisternes Land.
33 And Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal.
Og han plantede en Lund i Beersaba og paakaldte der Herrens, den evige Guds, Navn.
34 And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.
Og Abraham var fremmed i Filisternes Land en lang Tid.
