Kejadian 21
1 TUHAN memberkati Sara, seperti yang telah dijanjikan-Nya.
And YHWH has looked after Sarah as He has said, and YHWH does to Sarah as He has spoken;
2 Pada waktu yang telah ditentukan Allah, ketika Abraham sudah tua, mengandunglah Sara lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.
and Sarah conceives, and bears a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God has spoken of with him;
3 Abraham menamakan anak itu Ishak;
and Abraham calls the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah has borne to him—Isaac;
4 dan ketika Ishak berumur delapan hari, Abraham menyunatnya, sesuai dengan perintah Allah.
and Abraham circumcises his son Isaac, [being] a son of eight days, as God has commanded him.
5 Abraham berusia seratus tahun ketika Ishak lahir.
And Abraham [is] a son of one hundred years in his son Isaac being born to him,
6 Sara berkata, "Allah telah membuat saya tertawa karena gembira. Setiap orang yang mendengar hal ini akan tertawa gembira bersama saya."
and Sarah says, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who is hearing laughs for 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."
She also says, “Who has said to Abraham, Sarah has suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?”
8 Anak itu bertambah besar, dan pada hari ia mulai disapih, Abraham mengadakan pesta meriah.
And the boy grows, and is weaned, and Abraham makes a great banquet in the day of Isaac’s being weaned;
9 Pada suatu hari, Ismael, anak Abraham dan Hagar wanita Mesir itu, sedang bermain-main dengan Ishak, anak Sara.
and Sarah sees the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she has borne to Abraham, mocking,
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."
and she says to Abraham, “Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid has no possession with my son—with Isaac.”
11 Abraham sama sekali tidak senang dengan usul itu, karena Ismael adalah anaknya juga.
And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son’s sake;
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 says to Abraham, “Let it not be wrong in your eyes because of the youth, and because of your handmaid: all that Sarah says to you—listen to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to you.
13 Begitu juga kepada anak Hagar akan Kuberikan banyak anak cucu supaya mereka menjadi suatu bangsa. Sebab ia anakmu juga."
As for the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] your 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.
And Abraham rises early in the morning, and takes bread, and a bottle of water, and gives to Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the boy, and sends her out; and she goes on, and goes astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
15 Ketika air bekalnya habis, Hagar meletakkan anaknya di bawah semak,
and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she places the boy under one of the shrubs.
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 goes and sits by herself opposite [him], far off, about a bow-shot, for she said, “Do not let me look on the death of the boy”; and she sits opposite [him], and lifts up her voice, and weeps.
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 hears the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calls to Hagar from the heavens and says to her, “What to you, Hagar? Do not fear; for God has listened to the voice of the youth where he [is];
18 Pergilah kepada anakmu, angkat dan tenangkanlah dia. Aku akan menjadikan keturunannya suatu bangsa yang besar."
rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with your hand, for I set him for 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 opens her eyes, and she sees a well of water, and she goes and fills the bottle [with] water, and causes the youth to drink;
20 Allah menyertai Ismael. Anak itu bertambah besar; ia menetap di padang gurun Paran, dan menjadi pemburu yang mahir.
and God is with the youth, and he grows, and dwells in the wilderness, and is an archer;
21 Ibunya mengawinkan dia dengan seorang wanita Mesir.
and he dwells in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother takes for him a wife from 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.
And it comes to pass at that time that Abimelech speaks—Phichol also, head of his host—to Abraham, saying, “God [is] with you in all that you are doing;
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."
and now, swear to me by God here: you do not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with you—do with me, and with the land in which you have sojourned.”
24 Kata Abraham, "Aku bersumpah."
And Abraham says, “I swear.”
25 Tetapi kemudian Abraham menyesali Abimelekh tentang sebuah sumur yang telah dirampas oleh hamba-hamba raja itu.
And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants have violently taken away,
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 says, “I have not known who has done this thing, and even you did not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard except today.”
27 Lalu Abraham memberikan sejumlah domba dan sapi kepada Abimelekh, dan kedua orang itu mengadakan perjanjian.
And Abraham takes sheep and oxen, and gives to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
28 Abraham memisahkan tujuh anak domba dari kawanan dombanya,
and Abraham sets seven lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 dan Abimelekh bertanya kepadanya, "Mengapa engkau lakukan hal itu?"
And Abimelech says to Abraham, “What [are] they—these seven lambs which you have set by themselves?”
30 Abraham menjawab, "Terimalah ketujuh anak domba ini sebagai tanda Tuan mengakui bahwa akulah yang telah menggali sumur ini."
And he says, “For—the seven lambs you accept from my hand, so that it becomes a witness for me that I have dug this well”;
31 Demikianlah tempat itu dinamakan Bersyeba, karena di situlah kedua orang itu mengucapkan sumpah.
therefore he has called that place “Beer-Sheba,” for both of them have sworn there.
32 Setelah mereka mengadakan perjanjian di Bersyeba, Abimelekh dan Pikhol kembali ke negeri orang Filistin.
And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech rises—Phichol also, head of his host—and they return to the land of the Philistines;
33 Lalu Abraham menanam sebatang pohon tamariska di Bersyeba dan sejak itu tempat itu dipakainya untuk menyembah TUHAN, Allah yang kekal.
and [Abraham] plants a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preaches there in the Name of YHWH, the perpetual God;
34 Sesudah itu Abraham tinggal agak lama di negeri orang Filistin.
and Abraham sojourns in the land of the Philistines many days.
