Genesis 21
1 Visitavit autem Dominus Saram, sicut promiserat: et implevit quæ locutus est.
And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;
2 Concepitque et peperit filium in senectute sua, tempore quo prædixerat ei Deus.
and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;
3 Vocavitque Abraham nomen filii sui, quem genuit ei Sara, Isaac:
and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him — Isaac;
4 et circumcidit eum octavo die, sicut præceperat ei Deus,
and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
5 cum centum esset annorum: hac quippe ætate patris, natus est Isaac.
And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,
6 Dixitque Sara: Risum fecit mihi Deus: quicumque audierit, corridebit mihi.
and Sarah saith, 'God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'
7 Rursumque ait: Quis auditurus crederet Abraham quod Sara lactaret filium, quem peperit ei jam seni?
She saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'
8 Crevit igitur puer, et ablactatus est: fecitque Abraham grande convivium in die ablactationis ejus.
And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;
9 Cumque vidisset Sara filium Agar Ægyptiæ ludentem cum Isaac filio suo, dixit ad Abraham:
and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,
10 Ejice ancillam hanc, et filium ejus: non enim erit hæres filius ancillæ cum filio meo Isaac.
and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with Isaac.'
11 Dure accepit hoc Abraham pro filio suo.
And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;
12 Cui dixit Deus: Non tibi videatur asperum super puero, et super ancilla tua: omnia quæ dixerit tibi Sara, audi vocem ejus: quia in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen.
and God saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.
13 Sed et filium ancillæ faciam in gentem magnam, quia semen tuum est.
As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.'
14 Surrexit itaque Abraham mane, et tollens panem et utrem aquæ, imposuit scapulæ ejus, tradiditque puerum, et dimisit eam. Quæ cum abiisset, errabat in solitudine Bersabee.
And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
15 Cumque consumpta esset aqua in utre, abjecit puerum subter unam arborum, quæ ibi erant.
and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.
16 Et abiit, seditque e regione procul quantum potest arcus jacere: dixit enim: Non videbo morientem puerum: et sedens contra, levavit vocem suam et flevit.
And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
17 Exaudivit autem Deus vocem pueri: vocavitque angelus Dei Agar de cælo, dicens: Quid agis Agar? noli timere: exaudivit enim Deus vocem pueri de loco in quo est.
And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];
18 Surge, tolle puerum, et tene manum illius: quia in gentem magnam faciam eum.
rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
19 Aperuitque oculos ejus Deus: quæ videns puteum aquæ, abiit, et implevit utrem, deditque puero bibere.
And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;
20 Et fuit cum eo: qui crevit, et moratus est in solitudine, factusque est juvenis sagittarius.
and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;
21 Habitavitque in deserto Pharan, et accepit illi mater sua uxorem de terra Ægypti.
and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
22 Eodem tempore dixit Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus ejus, ad Abraham: Deus tecum est in universis quæ agis.
And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, 'God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;
23 Jura ergo per Deum, ne noceas mihi, et posteris meis, stirpique meæ: sed juxta misericordiam, quam feci tibi, facies mihi, et terræ in qua versatus es advena.
and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
24 Dixitque Abraham: Ego jurabo.
And Abraham saith, 'I — I do swear.'
25 Et increpavit Abimelech propter puteum aquæ quem vi abstulerunt servi ejus.
And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,
26 Responditque Abimelech: Nescivi quis fecerit hanc rem: sed et tu non indicasti mihi, et ego non audivi præter hodie.
and Abimelech saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'
27 Tulit itaque Abraham oves et boves, et dedit Abimelech: percusseruntque ambo fœdus.
And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
28 Et statuit Abraham septem agnas gregis seorsum.
and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Cui dixit Abimelech: Quid sibi volunt septem agnæ istæ, quas stare fecisti seorsum?
And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, 'What [are] they — these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
30 At ille: Septem, inquit, agnas accipies de manu mea: ut sint mihi in testimonium, quoniam ego fodi puteum istum.
And he saith, 'For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;'
31 Idcirco vocatus est locus ille Bersabee: quia ibi uterque juravit.
therefore hath he called that place 'Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
32 Et inierunt fœdus pro puteo juramenti.
And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;
33 Surrexit autem Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus ejus, reversique sunt in terram Palæstinorum. Abraham vero plantavit nemus in Bersabee, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini Dei æterni.
and [Abraham] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;
34 Et fuit colonus terræ Palæstinorum diebus multis.
and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
