Kejadian 21
1 TUHAN memberkati Sara, seperti yang telah dijanjikan-Nya.
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
2 Pada waktu yang telah ditentukan Allah, ketika Abraham sudah tua, mengandunglah Sara lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.
For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 Abraham menamakan anak itu Ishak;
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 dan ketika Ishak berumur delapan hari, Abraham menyunatnya, sesuai dengan perintah Allah.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Abraham berusia seratus tahun ketika Ishak lahir.
And Abraham was a 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."
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear 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 she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah shall nurse children? for 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.
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast 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.
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which 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."
Wherefore, she said to Abraham, Cast out this bond-woman, and her son: for the son of this bond-woman shall not be heir with my son, [even] with Isaac.
11 Abraham sama sekali tidak senang dengan usul itu, karena Ismael adalah anaknya juga.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight, 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.
And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bond-woman; in all that Sarah 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."
And also of the son of the bond-woman will I make a 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.
And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave [it] to Hagar (putting [it] on her shoulder) and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 Ketika air bekalnya habis, Hagar meletakkan anaknya di bawah semak,
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child 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 went, and sat her down over against [him], a good way off, as it were a bow-shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and raised 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 lad: and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath 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."
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy 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 she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
20 Allah menyertai Ismael. Anak itu bertambah besar; ia menetap di padang gurun Paran, dan menjadi pemburu yang mahir.
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 Ibunya mengawinkan dia dengan seorang wanita Mesir.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took for him a wife 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.
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest:
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 thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: [but] according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou hast sojourned.
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 Abraham reproved Abimelech, because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had 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 said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet have I heard [of it], but to-day.
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 covenant.
28 Abraham memisahkan tujuh anak domba dari kawanan dombanya,
And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 dan Abimelekh bertanya kepadanya, "Mengapa engkau lakukan hal itu?"
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast set by themselves?
30 Abraham menjawab, "Terimalah ketujuh anak domba ini sebagai tanda Tuan mengakui bahwa akulah yang telah menggali sumur ini."
And he said, For [these] seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness to me, that I have digged this well.
31 Demikianlah tempat itu dinamakan Bersyeba, karena di situlah kedua orang itu mengucapkan sumpah.
Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba: because there they swore both of them.
32 Setelah mereka mengadakan perjanjian di Bersyeba, Abimelekh dan Pikhol kembali ke negeri orang Filistin.
Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: Then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into 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] planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
34 Sesudah itu Abraham tinggal agak lama di negeri orang Filistin.
And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
