Kejadian 21
1 TUHAN memberkati Sara, seperti yang telah dijanjikan-Nya.
And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.
2 Pada waktu yang telah ditentukan Allah, ketika Abraham sudah tua, mengandunglah Sara lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.
And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.
3 Abraham menamakan anak itu Ishak;
And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.
4 dan ketika Ishak berumur delapan hari, Abraham menyunatnya, sesuai dengan perintah Allah.
And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,
5 Abraham berusia seratus tahun ketika Ishak lahir.
When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born.
6 Sara berkata, "Allah telah membuat saya tertawa karena gembira. Setiap orang yang mendengar hal ini akan tertawa gembira bersama saya."
And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me.
7 Kemudian ditambahkannya, "Siapa tadinya dapat mengatakan kepada suami saya bahwa saya akan menyusui anak? Namun saya telah melahirkan juga walaupun suami saya sudah tua sekali."
And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age.
8 Anak itu bertambah besar, dan pada hari ia mulai disapih, Abraham mengadakan pesta meriah.
And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
9 Pada suatu hari, Ismael, anak Abraham dan Hagar wanita Mesir itu, sedang bermain-main dengan Ishak, anak Sara.
And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the Egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham:
10 Sara melihat hal itu lalu berkata kepada Abraham, "Usirlah hamba wanita itu bersama anaknya. Tidak boleh anak wanita itu menerima bagian dari kekayaanmu yang akan diwarisi anak saya Ishak."
Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.
11 Abraham sama sekali tidak senang dengan usul itu, karena Ismael adalah anaknya juga.
Abraham took this grievously for his son.
12 Tetapi Allah berkata kepada Abraham, "Janganlah engkau khawatir mengenai hambamu Hagar dan anaknya itu. Turutilah kemauan Sara, karena melalui Ishaklah engkau akan mendapat keturunan yang Kujanjikan itu.
And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 Begitu juga kepada anak Hagar akan Kuberikan banyak anak cucu supaya mereka menjadi suatu bangsa. Sebab ia anakmu juga."
But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
14 Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi, Abraham memberi kepada Hagar makanan dan sebuah kantong kulit berisi air untuk bekal di jalan. Ia meletakkan anak itu pada punggung Hagar, dan menyuruh wanita itu pergi. Lalu berangkatlah Hagar dan mengembara di padang gurun Bersyeba.
So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee.
15 Ketika air bekalnya habis, Hagar meletakkan anaknya di bawah semak,
And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.
16 lalu duduk kira-kira seratus meter dari tempat itu. Katanya dalam hati, "Saya tidak tahan melihat anak saya mati." Lalu menangislah ia.
And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, she lifted up her voice and wept.
17 Allah mendengar suara Ismael, dan dari langit malaikat Allah berbicara kepada Hagar, katanya, "Apa yang engkau susahkan, Hagar? Janganlah takut. Allah telah mendengar suara anakmu.
And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.
18 Pergilah kepada anakmu, angkat dan tenangkanlah dia. Aku akan menjadikan keturunannya suatu bangsa yang besar."
Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.
19 Lalu Allah membuat Hagar melihat dengan jelas, sehingga tampak olehnya sebuah sumur. Maka pergilah ia lalu mengisi kantong kulit itu dengan air, kemudian diberinya anaknya minum.
And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink.
20 Allah menyertai Ismael. Anak itu bertambah besar; ia menetap di padang gurun Paran, dan menjadi pemburu yang mahir.
And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.
21 Ibunya mengawinkan dia dengan seorang wanita Mesir.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
22 Pada waktu itu Raja Abimelekh dan Pikhol, panglima tentaranya, datang kepada Abraham dan berkata, "Allah menolong engkau dalam segala sesuatu yang engkau lakukan.
At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.
23 Sebab itu, bersumpahlah di sini di hadapan Allah, bahwa engkau tidak akan berbuat curang terhadap aku, maupun terhadap anak-anakku, atau keturunanku. Seperti aku telah berbaik hati kepadamu, berbuatlah begitu juga kepadaku dan kepada negeri yang kaudiami ini."
Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger.
24 Kata Abraham, "Aku bersumpah."
And Abraham said: I will swear.
25 Tetapi kemudian Abraham menyesali Abimelekh tentang sebuah sumur yang telah dirampas oleh hamba-hamba raja itu.
And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
26 Abimelekh berkata, "Aku tidak tahu siapa yang telah melakukannya. Belum pernah engkau mengatakannya kepadaku, dan inilah pertama kalinya aku mendengar tentang hal itu."
And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today.
27 Lalu Abraham memberikan sejumlah domba dan sapi kepada Abimelekh, dan kedua orang itu mengadakan perjanjian.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.
28 Abraham memisahkan tujuh anak domba dari kawanan dombanya,
And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.
29 dan Abimelekh bertanya kepadanya, "Mengapa engkau lakukan hal itu?"
And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?
30 Abraham menjawab, "Terimalah ketujuh anak domba ini sebagai tanda Tuan mengakui bahwa akulah yang telah menggali sumur ini."
But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.
31 Demikianlah tempat itu dinamakan Bersyeba, karena di situlah kedua orang itu mengucapkan sumpah.
Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because there both of them did swear.
32 Setelah mereka mengadakan perjanjian di Bersyeba, Abimelekh dan Pikhol kembali ke negeri orang Filistin.
And they made a league for the well of oath.
33 Lalu Abraham menanam sebatang pohon tamariska di Bersyeba dan sejak itu tempat itu dipakainya untuk menyembah TUHAN, Allah yang kekal.
And Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal.
34 Sesudah itu Abraham tinggal agak lama di negeri orang Filistin.
And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.
