Genesis 21
1 Visitavit autem Dominus Saram, sicut promiserat: et implevit quae locutus est.
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
2 Concepitque et peperit filium in senectute sua, tempore quo praedixerat ei Deus.
For Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 Vocavitque Abraham nomen filii sui, quem genuit ei Sara, Isaac:
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 et circumcidit eum octavo die, sicut praeceperat ei Deus,
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 cum centum esset annorum: hac quippe aetate patris, natus est Isaac.
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Dixitque Sara: Risum fecit mihi Deus: quicumque audierit, corridebit mihi.
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
7 Rursumque ait: Quis auditurus crederet Abraham quod Sara lactaret filium, quem peperit ei iam seni?
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 Crevit igitur puer, et ablactatus est: fecitque Abraham grande convivium in die ablactationis eius.
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 Cumque vidisset Sara filium Agar Aegyptiae ludentem cum Isaac filio suo, dixit ad Abraham:
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
10 Eiice ancillam hanc, et filium eius: non enim erit heres filius ancillae cum filio meo Isaac.
Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
11 Dure accepit hoc Abraham pro filio suo.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.
12 Cui dixit Deus: Non tibi videatur asperum super puero, et super ancilla tua: omnia quae dixerit tibi Sara, audi vocem eius: quia in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen.
And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said to thee, hearken to her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 Sed et filium ancillae faciam in gentem magnam, quia semen tuum est.
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14 Surrexit itaque Abraham mane, et tollens panem et utrem aquae, imposuit scapulae eius, tradiditque puerum, et dimisit eam. Quae cum abiisset, errabat in solitudine Bersabee.
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 Beersheba.
15 Cumque consumpta esset aqua in utre, abiecit puerum subter unam arborem, quae ibi erat.
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 Et abiit, seditque e regione procul quantum potest arcus iacere. dixit enim: Non videbo morientem puerum: et sedens contra, levavit vocem suam et flevit.
And she went, and sat her down apart from him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat apart from him, and raised her voice, and wept.
17 Exaudivit autem Deus vocem pueri: vocavitque Angelus Dei Agar de caelo, dicens: Quid agis Agar? noli timere: exaudivit enim Deus vocem pueri de loco in quo est.
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 Surge, tolle puerum, et tene manum illius: quia in gentem magnam faciam eum.
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.
19 Aperuitque oculos eius Deus: quae videns puteum aquae, abiit, et implevit utrem, deditque puero bibere.
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 a drink.
20 Et fuit cum eo: qui crevit, et moratus est in solitudine, factusque est iuvenis sagittarius.
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 Habitavitque in deserto Pharan, et accepit illi mater sua uxorem de terra Aegypti.
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took for him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 Eodem tempore dixit Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus eius ad Abraham: Deus tecum est in universis quae agis.
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 Iura ergo per Deum, ne noceas mihi, et posteris meis, stirpique meae: sed iuxta misericordiam, quam feci tibi, facies mihi, et terrae in qua versatus es advena.
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 Dixitque Abraham: Ego iurabo.
And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 Et increpavit Abimelech propter puteum aquae quem vi abstulerunt servi eius.
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
26 Responditque Abimelech: Nescivi quis fecerit hanc rem: sed et tu non indicasti mihi, et ego non audivi praeter hodie.
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 Tulit itaque Abraham oves et boves, et dedit Abimelech: percusseruntque ambo foedus.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
28 Et statuit Abraham septem agnas gregis seorsum.
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Cui dixit Abimelech: Quid sibi volunt septem agnae istae, quas stare fecisti seorsum?
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What mean these seven ewe 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 said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.
31 Idcirco vocatus est locus ille Bersabee: quia ibi uterque iuravit.
Therefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they swore both of them.
32 Et inierunt foedus pro puteo iuramenti.
Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 Surrexit autem Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus eius, reversique sunt in terram Palaestinorum. Abraham vero plantavit nemus in Bersabee, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini Dei aeterni.
And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
34 Et fuit colonus terrae Palaestinorum diebus multis.
And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
