Genesis 21
1 The Lord came to help Sarah as he'd said he would. The Lord did for Sarah what he'd promised.
HERREN saa til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
2 She became pregnant and had a son for Abraham when he was old, at the exact time God said she would.
og hun undfangede og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom, til den Tid Gud havde sagt ham.
3 Abraham named their son Isaac.
Abraham kaldte den Søn, han fik med Sara, Isak;
4 Abraham circumcised him when Isaac was eight days old, following God's command.
og Abraham omskar sin Søn Isak, da han var otte Dage gammel, saaledes som Gud havde paalagt ham.
5 Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born.
Abraham var 100 Aar gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.
6 Sarah declared, “God has made me laugh, and all those who hear about this will laugh with me.”
Da sagde Sara: »Gud ham beredt mig Latter; enhver, der hører det, vil 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: »Hvem skulde have sagt Abraham, at Sara ammer Børn! Sandelig, jeg har født ham en Søn i hans Alderdom!«
8 The baby grew up, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a large feast.
Drengen voksede til og blev vænnet fra, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud, den Dag Isak blev vænnet fra.
9 But Sarah noticed that Ishmael, Hagar the Egyptian's son she'd had for Abraham, was making fun of Isaac.
Men da Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, lege med hendes Søn Isak,
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!”
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 felt very bad about it because Ishmael was his son.
Derover blev Abraham saare ilde til Mode for sin 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: »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 Don't worry—I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation because he's your son.”
men ogsaa Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!«
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.
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 When the water ran out, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
og Vandet slap op i hendes Sæk; da lagde hun Drengen hen 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 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 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 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 Get up, go over and help the boy up, and encourage him, for I will make him into a great nation.”
rejs dig, hjælp Drengen op og tag ham ved Haanden, 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.
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 God blessed Ishmael and he grew up, living in the desert. He became a skilled archer.
Og Gud var med Drengen, og han voksede til; og han bosatte sig i Ørkenen og blev Bueskytte.
21 He lived in the Desert of Paran. His mother chose a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Han boede i Parans Ørken, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru fra Ægypten.
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.
Ved den Tid sagde Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol til Abraham: »Gud er med dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for;
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.”
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 “I so swear,” Abraham replied.
Da svarede Abraham: »Jeg vil sværge!«
25 Then Abraham raised an issue with Abimelech of a well that Abimelech's servants had taken by force.
Men Abraham krævede Abimelek til Regnskab for en Brønd, som Abimeleks Folk havde tilranet sig.
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 ved intet om, hvem der har gjort det; hverken har du underrettet mig derom, ej heller har jeg hørt det før i Dag!«
27 Then Abraham gave Abimelech some of his sheep and cattle, and the two of them made an agreement.
Da tog Abraham Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg og gav Abimelek det, og derpaa sluttede de Pagt med hinanden.
28 Abraham also separated out seven female lambs from the flock.
Men Abraham satte syv Lam til Side,
29 “What are these seven female lambs for that you've separated from the flock?” Abimelech asked.
og da Abimelek spurgte ham: »Hvad betyder de syv Lam, du der har sat til Side?«
30 “I'm giving you these seven female lambs in return for your admission that I dug this well,” Abraham replied.
svarede han: »Jo, de syv Lam skal du modtage af min Haand til Vidnesbyrd om, 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 man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
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 sluttede Pagt ved Be'ersjeba. Saa brød Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol op og vendte tilbage til Filisternes Land.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and there he worshiped the Lord, the Eternal God.
Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og paakaldte der HERREN den evige Guds Navn.
34 Abraham lived in the country of the Philistines for a long time.
Og Abraham boede en Tid lang; som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
