Genesis 21
1 Now, Yahweh, visited Sarah, as he had said, —And Yahweh did for Sarah as he had spoken.
HERREN saa til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
2 So, Sarah, conceived and bare, to Abraham, a son, for his old age, at the set time, of which God had spoken with 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 to him, whom, Sarah, bare to him, Isaac.
Abraham kaldte den Søn, han fik med Sara, Isak;
4 And Abraham circumcised Isaac his son, when eight days old, —as God commanded him.
og Abraham omskar sin Søn Isak, da han var otte Dage gammel, saaledes som Gud havde paalagt ham.
5 Now Abraham was a hundred years old, —when Isaac his son was born to him.
Abraham var 100 Aar gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.
6 And Sarah said, A laughing, hath God made for me, —Everyone that heareth 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 announced to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled children? yet have I borne a son, for 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 banquet, on the day of the weaning of Isaac.
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 woman whom she had borne to Abraham laughing!
Men da Sara saa Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, lege med hendes Søn Isak,
10 So she said to Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, —for the son of this bondwoman must not inherit with my son 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 word was very grievous in the eyes of Abraham, —on account 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 thine eyes concerning the boy and concerning thy bondwoman, In all that Sarah may say unto thee, hearken to her voice, —For in Isaac, shall there be called to thee—a seed.
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 Yet even the son of the bondwoman, will I appoint to become, a nation, because thy seed, he is.
men ogsaa Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!«
14 So Abraham rose up early in the morning—and took bread and a skin of water and gave unto hagar, —putting them on her shoulder and the child, and sent her forth, —so she went her way and wandered, in the desert 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 out of the skin was spent, —so 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 went and sat her down over against him at a distance like as of such as draw the bow, for she said Let me not look upon the death of the child, —So she sat down over against him, and the boy lifted up his 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 boy, and a messenger of God called unto Hagar out of the heavens; and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? Do not fear, for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the boy 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 boy, and hold him up with thy hand, —for, a great nation, will I make him.
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 went and filled the skin with water, and gave drink unto the boy
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 it came to pass that God was with the boy, and he grew, —and dwelt in the desert, and he became as he grew up, 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 desert 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, with Phicol chieftain of his host, spake unto Abraham, saying, —God, is with thee in all that, thou art doing.
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 to me by God, here, that thou wilt not deal falsely by me, nor by mine offspring, nor by my descendants, —according to the lovingkindness wherewith I have dealt with thee, shalt thou deal with me, and with 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 But Abraham reproved Abimelech, —on account of the well of water, which the servants of Abimelech had seized.
Men Abraham krævede Abimelek til Regnskab for en Brønd, som Abimeleks Folk havde tilranet sig.
26 And Abimelech said, I know not, who hath done this thing, —nor hast even thou, ever told me, nor have even I, ever heard, save 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 to Abimelech, —and they two solemnised a covenant
Da tog Abraham Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg og gav Abimelek det, og derpaa sluttede de Pagt med hinanden.
28 So then Abraham set seven young sheep of the flock by them-selves,
Men Abraham satte syv Lam til Side,
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What, then mean these seven young sheep here, 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, The seven young sheep, shalt thou take at my hand, —that they may serve as my witness, that I 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 On this account, was the name of that place called Beer-sheba ["oath well"], —because there, had they two sworn.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
32 And when they had solemnised a covenant in Beer-sheba, —then arose Abimelech, with Phicol chief of his host, and returned unto 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 Then planted he a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, —and called there on the name of Yahweh the age-abiding GOD.
Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og paakaldte der HERREN den evige Guds Navn.
34 So Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
Og Abraham boede en Tid lang; som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
