Genesis 21
1 The Lord came to help Sarah as he'd said he would. The Lord did for Sarah what he'd promised.
Og Herren besøgte Sara, ligesom han havde sagt, og Herren gjorde ved Sara, efter som han havde talet.
2 She became pregnant and had a son for Abraham when he was old, at the exact time God said she would.
Og Sara undfik og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom paa den bestemte Tid, som Gud havde sagt ham.
3 Abraham named their son Isaac.
Og Abraham kaldte sin Søns Navn, som var født ham, som Sara havde født ham, Isak.
4 Abraham circumcised him when Isaac was eight days old, following God's command.
Og Abraham omskar Isak sin Søn, der han var otte Dage gammel, ligesom Gud havde befalet ham.
5 Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born.
Og Abraham var hundrede Aar gammel, der hans Søn Isak blev født ham.
6 Sarah declared, “God has made me laugh, and all those who hear about this will laugh with me.”
Da sagde Sara: Gud har gjort mig til Latter; hver den, som hører dette, maa le ad mig.
7 She also said, “Would anyone have announced to Abraham that Sarah was going to have children to nurse? But now I have had a son for Abraham even when he was old!”
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 The baby grew up, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a large feast.
Og Barnet vokste op og blev afvant, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud den Dag, Isak blev afvant.
9 But Sarah noticed that Ishmael, Hagar the Egyptian's son she'd had for Abraham, was making fun of Isaac.
Og Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, at han spottede.
10 So she went to Abraham and told him, “You have to get rid of this slave woman and this son of hers! A slave woman's son is not going to be one of your heirs and inherit together 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 felt very bad about it because Ishmael was his son.
Og det Ord behagede Abraham saare ilde for hans Søns Skyld.
12 But God told Abraham, “Don't feel bad about the boy and the slave woman. Do whatever Sarah tells you, because it's through Isaac that your descendants will be counted.
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 Don't worry—I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation because he's your son.”
Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre Tjenestekvindens Søn til et Folk, fordi han er din Sæd.
14 Abraham got up early the next morning. He packed up some food and a skin of water which he gave to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder. Then he sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered through the Desert of Beersheba.
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 When the water ran out, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
Der Vandet var drukket af Flasken, da kastede hun Drengen under en af Buskene.
16 She went and sat down some way off, a few hundred yards away, saying, “I can't bear to watch my son die!” As she sat down she burst into tears.
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 God heard the boy's cries, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and asked her, “What's the matter, Hagar? Don't be afraid! God has heard the boy crying from where 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 Get up, go over and help the boy up, and encourage him, for I will make him into 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 God opened her eyes and she saw a well nearby. She went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a 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 God blessed Ishmael and he grew up, living in the desert. He became a skilled archer.
Og Gud var med Drengen, og han vokste op og boede i Ørken og blev en Bueskytte.
21 He lived in the Desert of Paran. His mother chose a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Og han boede i den Ørken Paran, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru af Ægyptens Land.
22 Around this time Abimelech came with Phicol, the commander of his army, to see Abraham. “God blesses you in everything you do,” Abimelech said.
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 “So swear to me right here and now that you won't betray me, my children, or my descendants. In the same way I've proved I'm trustworthy to you, do the same to me and my country where you're currently living.”
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 “I so swear,” Abraham replied.
Da sagde Abraham: jeg vil sværge.
25 Then Abraham raised an issue with Abimelech of a well that Abimelech's servants had taken by force.
Og Abraham straffede Abimelek for den Vandbrønds Skyld, som Abimeleks Tjenere havde borttaget med Vold.
26 “I don't know who did this, and you didn't mention it before. I haven't heard anything about it until today,” Abimelech responded.
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 Then Abraham gave Abimelech some of his sheep and cattle, and the two of them made an agreement.
Da tog Abraham Faar og Kvæg og gav Abimelek, og de gjorde begge et Forbund.
28 Abraham also separated out seven female lambs from the flock.
Og Abraham stillede syv Lam af Hjorden for sig selv.
29 “What are these seven female lambs for that you've separated from the flock?” Abimelech asked.
Da sagde Abimelek til Abraham: Hvad skulle, disse syv Lam her, som du stillede for sig selv?
30 “I'm giving you these seven female lambs in return for your admission that I dug this well,” Abraham replied.
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 That's why he called the place Beersheba, because the two of them swore and oath to each other.
Derfor kaldte han dette Sted Beersaba; thi der svore de begge.
32 After making the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army left and went home to the country of the Philistines.
Og de gjorde Forbund i Beersaba; da stod Abimelek op og Pikol, hans Stridshøvedsmand, og droge igen til Filisternes Land.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and there he worshiped the Lord, the Eternal God.
Og han plantede en Lund i Beersaba og paakaldte der Herrens, den evige Guds, Navn.
34 Abraham lived in the country of the Philistines for a long time.
Og Abraham var fremmed i Filisternes Land en lang Tid.
