Kejadian 21
1 TUHAN memberkati Sara, seperti yang telah dijanjikan-Nya.
Yahweh paid attention to Sarah as he had said he would, and Yahweh did for Sarah just as he had promised.
2 Pada waktu yang telah ditentukan Allah, ketika Abraham sudah tua, mengandunglah Sara lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.
Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 Abraham menamakan anak itu Ishak;
Abraham named his son, the one who had been born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 dan ketika Ishak berumur delapan hari, Abraham menyunatnya, sesuai dengan perintah Allah.
Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, just as God had commanded him.
5 Abraham berusia seratus tahun ketika Ishak lahir.
Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Sara berkata, "Allah telah membuat saya tertawa karena gembira. Setiap orang yang mendengar hal ini akan tertawa gembira bersama saya."
Sarah said, “God has made me laugh; every one who hears 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."
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!”
8 Anak itu bertambah besar, dan pada hari ia mulai disapih, Abraham mengadakan pesta meriah.
The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 Pada suatu hari, Ismael, anak Abraham dan Hagar wanita Mesir itu, sedang bermain-main dengan Ishak, anak Sara.
Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had 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."
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.”
11 Abraham sama sekali tidak senang dengan usul itu, karena Ismael adalah anaknya juga.
This thing was very grievous to Abraham because of 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.
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.
13 Begitu juga kepada anak Hagar akan Kuberikan banyak anak cucu supaya mereka menjadi suatu bangsa. Sebab ia anakmu juga."
I will also make the son of the servant woman into a nation, because he is your descendant.”
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.
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.
15 Ketika air bekalnya habis, Hagar meletakkan anaknya di bawah semak,
When the water in the waterskin was gone, she abandoned the child under one of the bushes.
16 lalu duduk kira-kira seratus meter dari tempat itu. Katanya dalam hati, "Saya tidak tahan melihat anak saya mati." Lalu menangislah ia.
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.
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.
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.
18 Pergilah kepada anakmu, angkat dan tenangkanlah dia. Aku akan menjadikan keturunannya suatu bangsa yang besar."
Get up, raise up the lad, and encourage him; for I will make him into 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.
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.
20 Allah menyertai Ismael. Anak itu bertambah besar; ia menetap di padang gurun Paran, dan menjadi pemburu yang mahir.
God was with the lad, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness and became an archer.
21 Ibunya mengawinkan dia dengan seorang wanita Mesir.
He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother got a wife for him 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.
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.
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."
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.”
24 Kata Abraham, "Aku bersumpah."
Abraham said, “I swear.”
25 Tetapi kemudian Abraham menyesali Abimelekh tentang sebuah sumur yang telah dirampas oleh hamba-hamba raja itu.
Abraham also complained to Abimelech concerning a well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized from him.
26 Abimelekh berkata, "Aku tidak tahu siapa yang telah melakukannya. Belum pernah engkau mengatakannya kepadaku, dan inilah pertama kalinya aku mendengar tentang hal itu."
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.”
27 Lalu Abraham memberikan sejumlah domba dan sapi kepada Abimelekh, dan kedua orang itu mengadakan perjanjian.
So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
28 Abraham memisahkan tujuh anak domba dari kawanan dombanya,
Then Abraham set seven female lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 dan Abimelekh bertanya kepadanya, "Mengapa engkau lakukan hal itu?"
Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven female lambs that you have set by themselves?”
30 Abraham menjawab, "Terimalah ketujuh anak domba ini sebagai tanda Tuan mengakui bahwa akulah yang telah menggali sumur ini."
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.”
31 Demikianlah tempat itu dinamakan Bersyeba, karena di situlah kedua orang itu mengucapkan sumpah.
So he called that place Beersheba, because there they both swore an oath.
32 Setelah mereka mengadakan perjanjian di Bersyeba, Abimelekh dan Pikhol kembali ke negeri orang Filistin.
They made a covenant at Beersheba, and then Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, returned 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.
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba. There he worshiped Yahweh, the eternal God.
34 Sesudah itu Abraham tinggal agak lama di negeri orang Filistin.
Abraham remained as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
