Genesis 21
1 And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;
Forsothe God visitide Sare, as he bihiyte, and fillide tho thingis, that he spak.
2 and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;
And sche conseyuede, and childide a sone in hir eeld, in the tyme wherynne God biforseide to hir.
3 and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him — Isaac;
And Abraham clepide the name of his sone, whom Sare childide to him, Ysaac.
4 and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
And Abraham circumcidide hym in the eiyte dai, as God comaundide to him,
5 And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,
whanne he was of an hundrid yeer; for Ysaac was borun in this age of the fadir.
6 and Sarah saith, 'God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'
And Sare seide, The Lord made leiyynge to me, and who euer schal here schal leiye with me.
7 She saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'
And eft sche seide, Who schulde here, and bileue to Abraham, that Sare schulde yyue soukyng to a sone, whom sche childide to him now an eld man?
8 And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;
Therfor the child encreesside, and was wenyd; and Abraham made a greet feeste in the dai of his wenyng.
9 and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,
And whanne Sare seiy the sone of Agar Egipcian pleiynge with Ysaac hir sone, sche seide to Abraham,
10 and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with Isaac.'
Cast thou out the handmayde and hir sone; for the sone of the handmayde schal not be eir with my sone Ysaac.
11 And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;
Abraham took this heuyli for his sone;
12 and God saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.
and God seide to hym, Be it not seyn scharp to thee on the child, and on thin handmayde; alle thingis whiche Sare seith to thee, here thou hir vois, for in Isaac seed schal be clepid to thee;
13 As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.'
but also I schal make the sone of the handmaid in to a greet folk, for he is thi seed.
14 And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
And so Abraham roos eerli, and took breed, and a botel of watir, and puttide on hir schuldre, and bitook the child, and lefte hir; and whanne sche hadde go, sche yede out of the weie in the wildirnesse of Bersabee.
15 and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.
And whanne the watir in the botel was endid, sche castide awei the child vndur a tre that was there;
16 And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
and sche yede awei, and sche sat euene ayens as fer as a bowe may caste; for sche seide, Y schal not se the child diynge; and sche sat ayens, and reiside hir vois, and wepte.
17 And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];
Forsothe the Lord herde the vois of the child, and the aungel of the Lord clepide Agar fro heuene, and seide, What doist thou, Agar? nyle thou drede, for God hath herd the vois of the child fro the place where ynne he is.
18 rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
Rise thou, and take the child, and holde his hoond; for Y schal make hym in to a greet folc.
19 And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;
And God openyde hir iyen, and sche seiy a pit of watir, and sche yede, and fillide the botel, and sche yaf drynk to the child;
20 and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;
and was with him, and he encresside, and dwellide in wildernesse, and he was maad a yong man an archer,
21 and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
and dwellide in the deseert of Faran; and his modir took to him a wijf of the lond of Egipt.
22 And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, 'God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;
In the same tyme Abymelech, and Ficol, prince of his oost, seide to Abraham, God is with thee in alle thingis whiche thou doist;
23 and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
therfore swere thou bi God that thou noye not me, and myn eiris, and my kynrede; but bi the mersi whych Y dide to thee, do thou to me, and to the lond in which thou lyuedist a comelyng.
24 And Abraham saith, 'I — I do swear.'
And Abraham seide, Y schal swere.
25 And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,
And he blamyde Abymelech for the pit of watir, which hise seruauntis token awey bi violence.
26 and Abimelech saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'
And Abymelech answerde, I wiste not who dide this thing, but also thou schewidist not to me, and Y herde not outakun to dai.
27 And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
And so Abraham took scheep and oxun, and yaf to Abymalech, and bothe smyten a boond of pees.
28 and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.
And Abraham settide seuene ewe lambren of the flok asidis half.
29 And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, 'What [are] they — these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
And Abymelech seide to hym, What wolen these seuene ewe lambren to hem silf, whiche thou madist stonde asidis half?
30 And he saith, 'For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;'
And he seide, Thou schalt take of myn hond seuene ewe lambren, that tho be in to witnessyng to me, for Y diggide this pit.
31 therefore hath he called that place 'Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
Therfor thilke place was clepid Bersabee, for euere eithir swore there;
32 And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;
and thei maden boond of pees for the pit of an ooth.
33 and [Abraham] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;
Forsothe Abymelech roos, and Ficol, prince of his chyualrie, and thei turneden ayen in to the lond of Palestyns. Sotheli Abraham plauntide a wode in Bersabee, and inwardli clepide there the name of euerlastinge God;
34 and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
and he was an erthetiliere ether a comelynge of the lond of Palestynes in many dayes.
