Genesis 21
1 Yahweh paid attention to Sarah as he had said he would, and Yahweh did for Sarah just as he had promised.
HERREN så til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,
2 Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham 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 Abraham named his son, the one who had been born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Abraham kaldte den Søn, han fik med Sara, Isak;
4 Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, just as God had commanded him.
og Abraham omskar sin Søn Isak, da han var otte Dage gammel, således som Gud havde pålagt ham.
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
Abraham var 100 År gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.
6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh; every one who hears will laugh with me.”
Da sagde Sara: "Gud ham beredt mig Latter; enhver, der hører det, vil le ad mig."
7 She also said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children, and yet I have borne 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 The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast on the 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 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Men da Sara så Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, lege med hendes Søn Isak,
10 So she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman will not be heir 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 This thing was very grievous to Abraham because of his son.
Derover blev Abraham såre ilde til Mode for sin Søns Skyld;
12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not be grieved because of the lad, and because of your servant woman. Listen to her words in all she says to you about this matter, because it is through Isaac that your descendants will be named.
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 I will also make the son of the servant woman into a nation, because he is your descendant.”
men også Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!"
14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder. He gave her the boy and sent her away. She departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Tidligt næste Morgen tog da Abraham Brød og en Sæk Vand og gav Hagar det, og Drengen satte han på hendes Skulder, hvorpå han sendte hende bort. Som hun nu vandrede af Sted, for hun vild i Be'ersjebas Ørken,
15 When the water in the waterskin was gone, she abandoned the child under one of the bushes.
og Vandet slap op i hendes Sæk; da lagde hun Drengen hen under en af Buskene
16 Then she went, and sat down a short distance from him, about the distance of a bowshot away, for she said, “Let me not look upon the death of the child.” As she sat there across from him, she lifted 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 således sad hun, medens Drengen græd højt.
17 God heard the voice of the lad, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
Da hørte Gud Drengens Gråd, og Guds Engel råbte 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, raise up the lad, and encourage him; for I will make him into a great nation.”
rejs dig, hjælp Drengen op og tag ham ved Hånden, thi jeg vil gøre ham til et stort Folk!"
19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.
Da åbnede Gud hendes Øjne, så hun fik Øje på en Brønd med Vand; og hun gik hen og fyldte Sækken med Vand og gav Drengen at drikke.
20 God was with the lad, and he grew. He lived 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 He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Han boede i Parans Ørken, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru fra Ægypten.
22 It came about at that time that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
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 here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my offspring, nor with my descendants. Show to me and to the land in which you have been staying the same covenant faithfulness that I have shown to you.”
tilsværg mig derfor her ved Gud, at du aldrig vil være troløs mod mig eller mine Efterkommere, men at du vil handle lige så venligt mod mig og det Land, du gæster, som jeg har handlet mod dig!"
24 Abraham said, “I swear.”
Da svarede Abraham: "Jeg vil sværge!"
25 Abraham also complained to Abimelech concerning a well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized from him.
Men Abraham krævede Abimelek til Regnskab for en Brønd, som Abimeleks Folk havde tilranet sig.
26 Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing. You did not tell me before now; I have not heard of it until today.”
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 So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
Da tog Abraham Småkvæg og Hornkvæg og gav Abimelek det, og derpå sluttede de Pagt med hinanden.
28 Then Abraham set seven female lambs of the flock by themselves.
Men Abraham satte syv Lam til Side,
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven female lambs that you have set by themselves?”
og da Abimelek spurgte ham: "Hvad betyder de syv Lam, du der har sat til Side?"
30 He replied, “These seven female lambs you will receive from my hand, so that it may be a witness for me, that I dug this well.”
svarede han: "Jo, de syv Lam skal du modtage af min Hånd til Vidnesbyrd om, at jeg har gravet denne Brønd."
31 So he called that place Beersheba, because there they both swore an oath.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;
32 They made a covenant at Beersheba, and then Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, returned to the land of the Philistines.
og de sluttede Pagt ved Be'ersjeba. Så brød Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol op og vendte tilbage til Filisternes Land.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba. There he worshiped Yahweh, the eternal God.
Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og påkaldte der HERREN den evige Guds Navn.
34 Abraham remained as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
Og Abraham boede en Tid lang; som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
