Бытие 21
1 И Господь посети Сарру, якоже рече: и сотвори Господь Сарре, якоже глагола.
Yahweh was very kind to Sarah, just as he said he would be. He did for Sarah exactly what he promised to do.
2 И заченши Сарра роди Аврааму сына в старости, во время, якоже глагола ему Господь:
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Abraham when he was very old, at the time God promised it would happen.
3 и нарече Авраам имя сыну своему рождшемуся ему, егоже роди ему Сарра, Исаак:
Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to.
4 обреза же Авраам Исаака во осмый день, якоже заповеда ему Бог.
Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do.
5 Авраам же бе ста лет, егда бысть ему Исаак сын его.
Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
6 Рече же Сарра: смех мне сотвори Господь: иже бо аще услышит, обрадуется со Мною.
And Sarah said, “[Although I was sad before because I did not have any children], God has now enabled me to laugh, and everyone who hears about what God has done for me will laugh with me.”
7 И рече: кто возвестит Аврааму, яко млеком питает отроча Сарра, яко родих сына в старости моей?
Then she also said, “No one would have said to Abraham that some day Sarah would nurse a child, but I have given birth to a son when Abraham is very old.”
8 И возрасте отроча, и отдоено бысть: и сотвори Авраам учреждение велие, в оньже день отдоися Исаак сын его.
The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.
9 Видевши же Сарра сына Агари Египтяныни, иже бысть Аврааму, играюща со Исааком сыном своим,
([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.
10 и рече Аврааму: изжени рабу сию и сына ея: не наследит бо сын рабы сея с сыном моим Исааком.
So she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman from Egypt and her son! I do not want the son of that slave woman to be alone (OR, to be an heir along with) my son, Isaac!”
11 Жесток же явися глагол сей зело пред Авраамом о сыне его Исмаиле.
Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].
12 И рече Бог Аврааму: да не будет жестоко пред тобою о отроце и о рабыни: вся елика аще речет тебе Сарра, слушай гласа ея: яко во Исааце наречется тебе семя:
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about your son, Ishmael, and about your maidservant, Hagar. Do everything that Sarah tells you to do. Listen to her, because Isaac is the one who will be considered the ancestor of the descendants I promised to give you.
13 сына же рабыни сея в язык велик сотворю его, яко семя твое есть.
But I will also cause the son of your maidservant to be the ancestor of the people of a great nation [MTY], because he is also your son.”
14 Воста же Авраам заутра и взя хлебы и мех воды, и даде Агари: и возложи на плещы ея отроча и отпусти ю. Отшедши же заблуждаше в пустыни, у кладязя Клятвеннаго:
So Abraham got up early the next morning. He got some food ready, put water in a container, and gave them to Hagar. He put them [in a bag] on her shoulder and sent them away. They wandered in the desert near Beersheba [town].
15 оскуде же вода из меха: и поверже отроча под елию единою.
After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.
16 Отшедши же седяше прямо ему издалече, якоже дострелити из лука: рече бо: да не вижду смерти детища моего. И седе прямо ему издалече. Воскричав же отроча, восплакася:
Then she went and sat nearby, about (as far as someone can shoot an arrow/100 meters away), because she thought, “I cannot endure seeing my son die!” As she sat there, she began to cry [loudly] [MTY].
17 услыша же Бог глас отрочате от места, идеже бяше: и воззва Ангел Божий Агарь с небесе и рече ей: что есть, Агарь? Не бойся: услыша бо Бог глас отрочища от места, идеже есть:
[The boy was crying too.] And God heard the boy crying. So he caused one of his angels to call out from heaven to Hagar, saying, “Hagar, are you worried about something? Do not be afraid, because God has heard the boy crying there.
18 востани и поими отроча, и ими рукою твоею его: в язык бо велик сотворю его.
Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
19 И отверзе Бог очи ея, и узре кладязь воды живы: и иде, и налия мех воды, и напои отроча.
Then God showed her a well of water. So she went to the well and filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
20 И бяше Бог со отрочатем, и возрасте, и вселися в пустыни, и бысть стрелец.
God helped the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became a good (archer/man who hunts with bow and arrows).
21 И поселися в пустыни Фаран: и поят ему мати его жену от земли Египетския.
He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.
22 Бысть же в то время, и рече Авимелех, и Охозаф невестоводитель его, и Фихол воевода силы его, ко Аврааму, глаголя: Бог с тобою во всех, яже твориши:
At that time, [King] Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “It is clear that God helps you with everything that you do.
23 ныне убо кленися ми Богом, не обидети мене, ниже семене моего, ниже имене моего: но по правде, юже сотворих с тобою, сотвориши со мною и земли, идеже ты вселился еси на ней.
So now (solemnly promise/swear) to me here, as God is listening, that you will (not deceive/act fairly to) me and my children and my descendants, in return for my being kind to you. Be kind to me and to all the people here in the country where you are now living.”
24 И рече Авраам: аз кленуся.
So Abraham promised to do that.
25 И обличи Авраам Авимелеха о кладязех водных, яже отяша отроцы Авимелеховы.
[Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
26 И рече ему Авимелех: не ведех, кто сотвори тебе вещь сию: ниже ты ми поведал еси, ниже аз слышах, токмо днесь.
But Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done that. You did not tell me previously, and I did not hear about it until today.”
27 И взя Авраам овцы и юнцы и даде Авимелеху: и завещаста оба завет.
So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
28 И постави Авраам седмь агниц овчих единых.
Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
29 И рече Авимелех Аврааму: что суть седмь агницы овец сих, яже поставил еси едины?
Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
30 И рече Авраам: яко седмь сих агниц возмеши у мене, да будут ми во свидетелство, яко аз ископах кладязь сей.
Abraham replied, “I want you truly to accept these female lambs from me [SYN], so that it may be a (public witness/proof) that this well belongs to me because I dug it.”
31 Сего ради наименова имя месту тому кладязь Клятвенный: яко тамо клястася оба
So Abimelech accepted the animals, and as a result they called that place Beersheba, [which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’, ] because there the two of them made that agreement.
32 и завещаста завет у кладязя Клятвеннаго. Воста же Авимелех, и Охозаф невестоводитель его, и Фихол воевода силы его, и возвратишася в землю Филистимску.
After they made the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and his army commander, Phicol, left, and returned to the land of the Philistine people-group.
33 И насади Авраам ниву у кладязя Клятвеннаго, и призва ту имя Господа, Бога вечнаго.
Abraham planted a (tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel) there, and he worshiped the eternal God there.
34 Обита же Авраам в земли Филистимстей дни многи.
Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
