Genesis 21
1 And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.
HERREN så til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
2 And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.
og hun undfangede og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom, til den Tid Gud havde sagt ham.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.
Abraham kaldte den Søn, han fik med Sara, Isak;
4 And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,
og Abraham omskar sin Søn Isak, da han var otte Dage gammel, således som Gud havde pålagt ham.
5 When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born.
Abraham var 100 År gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes 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 ham beredt mig Latter; enhver, der hører det, vil 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: "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 Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
Drengen voksede til og blev vænnet fra, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud, den dag Isak blev vænnet fra.
9 And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the Egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham:
Men da Sara så Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, lege med hendes Søn Isak,
10 Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir 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 Abraham took this grievously for his son.
Derover blev Abraham såre ilde til Mode for sin 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: "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 make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
men også Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!"
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.
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,
15 And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.
og Vandet slap op i hendes Sæk; da lagde hun Drengen hen 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 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.
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 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;
18 Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.
rejs dig, hjælp Drengen op og tag ham ved Hånden, 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.
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.
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 voksede til; og han bosatte sig i Ørkenen og blev Bueskytte.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
Han boede i Parans Ørken, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru fra Ægypten.
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.
Ved den Tid sagde Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol til Abraham: "Gud er med dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for;
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.
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!"
24 And Abraham said: I will swear.
Da svarede Abraham: "Jeg vil sværge!"
25 And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
Men Abraham krævede Abimelek til Regnskab for en Brønd, som Abimeleks Folk havde tilranet sig.
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 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 Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.
Da tog Abraham Småkvæg og Hornkvæg og gav Abimelek det, og derpå sluttede de Pagt med hinanden.
28 And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.
Men Abraham satte syv Lam til Side,
29 And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?
og da Abimelek spurgte ham: "Hvad betyder de syv Lam, du der har sat til Side?"
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.
svarede han: "Jo, de syv Lam skal du modtage af min Hånd til Vidnesbyrd om, at jeg har gravet denne Brønd."
31 Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because there both of them did swear.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
32 And they made a league for the well of oath.
og de sluttede Pagt ved Be'ersjeba. Så brød Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol op og vendte tilbage 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.
Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og påkaldte der HERREN den evige Guds Navn.
34 And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.
Og Abraham boede en Tid lang; som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
