Kejadian 21
1 TUHAN memperhatikan Sara, seperti yang difirmankan-Nya, dan TUHAN melakukan kepada Sara seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya.
Adonai visited Sarah [Princess] as he had said, and Adonai did to Sarah [Princess] as he had spoken.
2 Maka mengandunglah Sara, lalu ia melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagi Abraham dalam masa tuanya, pada waktu yang telah ditetapkan, sesuai dengan firman Allah kepadanya.
Sarah [Princess] conceived, and bore Abraham [Father of a multitude] a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 Abraham menamai anaknya yang baru lahir itu Ishak, yang dilahirkan Sara baginya.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah [Princess] bore to him, Isaac [Laughter].
4 Kemudian Abraham menyunat Ishak, anaknya itu, ketika berumur delapan hari, seperti yang diperintahkan Allah kepadanya.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] circumcised his son, Isaac [Laughter], when he was eight days old, as God had enjoined him.
5 Adapun Abraham berumur seratus tahun, ketika Ishak, anaknya, lahir baginya.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac [Laughter], was born to him.
6 Berkatalah Sara: "Allah telah membuat aku tertawa; setiap orang yang mendengarnya akan tertawa karena aku."
Sarah [Princess] said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who sh'ma ·hears obeys· will laugh with me.”
7 Lagi katanya: "Siapakah tadinya yang dapat mengatakan kepada Abraham: Sara menyusui anak? Namun aku telah melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki baginya pada masa tuanya."
She said, “Who would have said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], that Sarah [Princess] would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8 Bertambah besarlah anak itu dan ia disapih, lalu Abraham mengadakan perjamuan besar pada hari Ishak disapih itu.
The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham [Father of a multitude] made a great feast on the day that Isaac [Laughter] was weaned.
9 Pada waktu itu Sara melihat, bahwa anak yang dilahirkan Hagar, perempuan Mesir itu bagi Abraham, sedang main dengan Ishak, anaknya sendiri.
Sarah [Princess] saw the son of Hagar [Flight] the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], whom she had borne to Abraham [Father of a multitude], metzahek ·lewd and irreverent jokes·.
10 Berkatalah Sara kepada Abraham: "Usirlah hamba perempuan itu beserta anaknya, sebab anak hamba ini tidak akan menjadi ahli waris bersama-sama dengan anakku Ishak."
Therefore she said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “Divorce and cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac [Laughter].”
11 Hal ini sangat menyebalkan Abraham oleh karena anaknya itu.
The thing was very grievous in Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s sight on account of his son.
12 Tetapi Allah berfirman kepada Abraham: "Janganlah sebal hatimu karena hal anak dan budakmu itu; dalam segala yang dikatakan Sara kepadamu, haruslah engkau mendengarkannya, sebab yang akan disebut keturunanmu ialah yang berasal dari Ishak.
God said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah [Princess] says to you, sh'ma ·hear obey· her voice. For your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac [Laughter].
13 Tetapi keturunan dari hambamu itu juga akan Kubuat menjadi suatu bangsa, karena iapun anakmu."
I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
14 Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi Abraham mengambil roti serta sekirbat air dan memberikannya kepada Hagar. Ia meletakkan itu beserta anaknya di atas bahu Hagar, kemudian disuruhnyalah perempuan itu pergi. Maka pergilah Hagar dan mengembara di padang gurun Bersyeba.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar [Flight], putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath].
15 Ketika air yang dikirbat itu habis, dibuangnyalah anak itu ke bawah semak-semak,
The water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 dan ia duduk agak jauh, kira-kira sepemanah jauhnya, sebab katanya: "Tidak tahan aku melihat anak itu mati." Sedang ia duduk di situ, menangislah ia dengan suara nyaring.
She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17 Allah mendengar suara anak itu, lalu Malaikat Allah berseru dari langit kepada Hagar, kata-Nya kepadanya: "Apakah yang engkau susahkan, Hagar? Janganlah takut, sebab Allah telah mendengar suara anak itu dari tempat ia terbaring.
God sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of the boy. Ha mal'ak Elohim [The Angel of God] called to Hagar [Flight] out of the sky, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar [Flight]? Don’t be afraid. For God has sh'ma ·hear obey· the voice of the boy where he is.
18 Bangunlah, angkatlah anak itu, dan bimbinglah dia, sebab Aku akan membuat dia menjadi bangsa yang besar."
Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
19 Lalu Allah membuka mata Hagar, sehingga ia melihat sebuah sumur; ia pergi mengisi kirbatnya dengan air, kemudian diberinya anak itu minum.
God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink.
20 Allah menyertai anak itu, sehingga ia bertambah besar; ia menetap di padang gurun dan menjadi seorang pemanah.
God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
21 Maka tinggallah ia di padang gurun Paran, dan ibunya mengambil seorang isteri baginya dari tanah Mesir.
He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
22 Pada waktu itu Abimelekh, beserta Pikhol, panglima tentaranya, berkata kepada Abraham: "Allah menyertai engkau dalam segala sesuatu yang engkau lakukan.
At that time, Abimelech [My father king] and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham [Father of a multitude], saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
23 Oleh sebab itu, bersumpahlah kepadaku di sini demi Allah, bahwa engkau tidak akan berlaku curang kepadaku, atau kepada anak-anakku, atau kepada cucu cicitku; sesuai dengan persahabatan yang kulakukan kepadamu, demikianlah harus engkau berlaku kepadaku dan kepada negeri yang kautinggali sebagai orang asing."
Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the chesed ·loving-kindness· that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
24 Lalu kata Abraham: "Aku bersumpah!"
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, “I will swear.”
25 Tetapi Abraham menyesali Abimelekh tentang sebuah sumur yang telah dirampas oleh hamba-hamba Abimelekh.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] complained to Abimelech [My father king] because of a water well, which Abimelech [My father king]’s servants had violently taken away.
26 Jawab Abimelekh: "Aku tidak tahu, siapa yang melakukan hal itu; lagi tidak kauberitahukan kepadaku, dan sampai hari ini belum pula kudengar."
Abimelech [My father king] said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of it until today.”
27 Lalu Abraham mengambil domba dan lembu dan memberikan semuanya itu kepada Abimelekh, kemudian kedua orang itu mengadakan perjanjian.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech [My father king]. Those two made a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·.
28 Tetapi Abraham memisahkan tujuh anak domba betina dari domba-domba itu.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Lalu kata Abimelekh kepada Abraham: "Untuk apakah ketujuh anak domba yang kaupisahkan ini?"
Abimelech [My father king] said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?”
30 Jawabnya: "Ketujuh anak domba ini harus kauterima dari tanganku untuk menjadi tanda bukti bagiku, bahwa akulah yang menggali sumur ini."
He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”
31 Sebab itu orang menyebutkan tempat itu Bersyeba, karena kedua orang itu telah bersumpah di sana.
Therefore he called that place Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], because they both swore there.
32 Setelah mereka mengadakan perjanjian di Bersyeba, pulanglah Abimelekh beserta Pikhol, panglima tentaranya, ke negeri orang Filistin.
So they made a covenant at Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath]. Abimelech [My father king] rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)].
33 Lalu Abraham menanam sebatang pohon tamariska di Bersyeba, dan memanggil di sana nama TUHAN, Allah yang kekal.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] planted a tamarisk tree in Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], and called there on the name of Adonai, the El 'Olam [God Everlasting].
34 Dan masih lama Abraham tinggal sebagai orang asing di negeri orang Filistin.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] many days.
