Genesis 21
1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
HERREN saa til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
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 that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
Abraham kaldte den Søn, han fik med Sara, Isak;
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
og Abraham omskar sin Søn Isak, da han var otte Dage gammel, saaledes som Gud havde paalagt ham.
5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Abraham var 100 Aar gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear will laugh with me.
Da sagde Sara: »Gud ham beredt mig Latter; enhver, der hører det, vil le ad mig.«
7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born [him] a son 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 the [same] day that Isaac was weaned.
Drengen voksede til og blev vænnet fra, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud, den Dag Isak blev vænnet fra.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
Men da Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, lege med hendes Søn Isak,
10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, [even] with 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 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.
Derover blev Abraham saare ilde til Mode for sin Søns Skyld;
12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto 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 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he [is] thy seed.
men ogsaa Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!«
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave [it] unto Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
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 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
og Vandet slap op i hendes Sæk; da lagde hun Drengen hen under en af Buskene
16 And she went, and sat her down over against [him] a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lift 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 saaledes sad hun, medens Drengen græd højt.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad 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 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
rejs dig, hjælp Drengen op og tag ham ved Haanden, thi jeg vil gøre ham til et stort Folk!«
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad 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 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became 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 Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Han boede i Parans Ørken, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru fra Ægypten.
22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest:
Ved den Tid sagde Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol til Abraham: »Gud er med dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for;
23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: [but] according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
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 And Abraham said, I will swear.
Da svarede Abraham: »Jeg vil sværge!«
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Men Abraham krævede Abimelek til Regnskab for en Brønd, som Abimeleks Folk havde tilranet sig.
26 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I [of it], but to day.
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 unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
Da tog Abraham Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg og gav Abimelek det, og derpaa sluttede de Pagt med hinanden.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Men Abraham satte syv Lam til Side,
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
og da Abimelek spurgte ham: »Hvad betyder de syv Lam, du der har sat til Side?«
30 And he said, For [these] seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
svarede han: »Jo, de syv Lam skal du modtage af min Haand til Vidnesbyrd om, at jeg har gravet denne Brønd.«
31 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
32 Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land 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 And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og paakaldte der HERREN den evige Guds Navn.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.
Og Abraham boede en Tid lang; som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
