Genesis 21
1 The Lord came to help Sarah as he'd said he would. The Lord did for Sarah what he'd promised.
And Yahweh he visited Sarah just as he had said and he did Yahweh to Sarah just as he had spoken.
2 She became pregnant and had a son for Abraham when he was old, at the exact time God said she would.
And she conceived and she bore Sarah to Abraham a son of old age his to the appointed time which he had spoken with him God.
3 Abraham named their son Isaac.
And he called Abraham [the] name of son his who had been born to him whom she had borne to him Sarah Isaac.
4 Abraham circumcised him when Isaac was eight days old, following God's command.
And he circumcised Abraham Isaac son his a son of eight days just as he had commanded him God.
5 Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born.
And Abraham [was] a son of one hundred year[s] when was born to him Isaac son his.
6 Sarah declared, “God has made me laugh, and all those who hear about this will laugh with me.”
And she said Sarah laughter he has made for me God everyone who hears he will laugh to me.
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!”
And she said who? has he said to Abraham she has suckled children Sarah for I have borne a son of old age his.
8 The baby grew up, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a large feast.
And he grew up the child and he was weaned and he prepared Abraham a feast great on [the] day was weaned Isaac.
9 But Sarah noticed that Ishmael, Hagar the Egyptian's son she'd had for Abraham, was making fun of Isaac.
And she saw Sarah [the] son of Hagar the Egyptian whom she had borne to Abraham mocking.
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!”
And she said to Abraham drive out the slave woman this and son her for not he will inherit [the] son of the slave woman this with son my with Isaac.
11 Abraham felt very bad about it because Ishmael was his son.
And it was displeasing the matter exceedingly in [the] eyes of Abraham on [the] causes of son his.
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.
And he said God to Abraham may not it be displeasing in view your on the lad and on slave woman your all that she says to you Sarah listen to voice her for in Isaac it will be named of you offspring.
13 Don't worry—I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation because he's your son.”
And also [the] son of the slave woman into a nation I will make him for [is] offspring your he.
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.
And he rose early Abraham - in the morning and he took food and a skin of water and he gave [them] to Hagar placing on shoulder her and the boy and he sent away her and she went and she wandered in [the] wilderness of Beer Sheba.
15 When the water ran out, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
And they were finished the water from the skin and she threw the boy under one of the bushes.
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.
And she went and she sat for herself from before at a distance like [the] shooters of a bow for she said may not I look on [the] death of the boy and she sat from before and she lifted up voice her and she wept.
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.
And he heard God [the] sound of the lad and he called [the] angel of God - to Hagar from the heavens and he said to her what? [is] to you O Hagar may not you be afraid for he has heard God [the] sound of the lad at where he [is] there.
18 Get up, go over and help the boy up, and encourage him, for I will make him into a great nation.”
Arise lift up the lad and take hold hand your on him for into a nation great I will make him.
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.
And he opened God eyes her and she saw a well of water and she went and she filled the skin water and she gave a drink to the lad.
20 God blessed Ishmael and he grew up, living in the desert. He became a skilled archer.
And he was God with the lad and he grew up and he dwelt in the wilderness and he was a shooter a bowman.
21 He lived in the Desert of Paran. His mother chose a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
And he dwelt in [the] wilderness of Paran and she took for him mother his a wife from [the] land of Egypt.
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.
And it was at the time that and he said Abimelech and Phicol [the] commander of army his to Abraham saying God [is] with you in all that you [are] doing.
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.”
And therefore swear! to me by God here if you will deal falsely to me and to posterity my and to progeny my according to the loyalty which I have done with you you will do with me and with the land which you have sojourned in it.
24 “I so swear,” Abraham replied.
And he said Abraham I I will swear.
25 Then Abraham raised an issue with Abimelech of a well that Abimelech's servants had taken by force.
And he rebuked Abraham Abimelech on [the] causes of [the] well of water which they had seized [the] servants of Abimelech.
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.
And he said Abimelech not I know who? has he done the thing this and also you not you told to me and also I not I heard except this day.
27 Then Abraham gave Abimelech some of his sheep and cattle, and the two of them made an agreement.
And he took Abraham sheep and cattle and he gave [them] to Abimelech and they made [the] two of them a covenant.
28 Abraham also separated out seven female lambs from the flock.
And he set Abraham seven ewe-lambs of the flock to alone them.
29 “What are these seven female lambs for that you've separated from the flock?” Abimelech asked.
And he said Abimelech to Abraham what? [are] they seven ewe-lambs these which you have set to alone them.
30 “I'm giving you these seven female lambs in return for your admission that I dug this well,” Abraham replied.
And he said that seven ewe-lambs you will take from hand my in order that it may become for me a witness for I dug the well this.
31 That's why he called the place Beersheba, because the two of them swore and oath to each other.
There-fore he called the place that Beer Sheba for there they swore an oath [the] two of them.
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.
And they made a covenant at Beer Sheba and he arose Abimelech and Phicol [the] commander of army his and they returned to [the] land of [the] Philistines.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and there he worshiped the Lord, the Eternal God.
And he planted a tamarisk tree in Beer Sheba and he called there on [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of perpetuity.
34 Abraham lived in the country of the Philistines for a long time.
And he sojourned Abraham in [the] land of [the] Philistines days many.
