Génesis 21
1 Yavé visitó a Sara como dijo, y Yavé procedió con Sara según lo prometido.
Adonai visited Sarah [Princess] as he had said, and Adonai did to Sarah [Princess] as he had spoken.
2 Entonces Sara concibió, y según el tiempo señalado que ʼElohim le indicó, dio a luz un hijo a Abraham en su vejez.
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 llamó Isaac al hijo que le nació, que Sara le dio a luz.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah [Princess] bore to him, Isaac [Laughter].
4 Cuando tenía ocho días, Abraham circuncidó a su hijo Isaac, como ʼElohim le ordenó.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] circumcised his son, Isaac [Laughter], when he was eight days old, as God had enjoined him.
5 Abraham tenía 100 años cuando le nació su hijo Isaac.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac [Laughter], was born to him.
6 Entonces Sara dijo: ʼElohim me hizo reír. Todo el que lo oiga, reirá conmigo.
Sarah [Princess] said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who sh'ma ·hears obeys· will laugh with me.”
7 Añadió: ¿Quién le hubiera dicho a Abraham que Sara amamantaría hijos? Pues le di a luz un hijo en su vejez.
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 Creció el niño, y fue destetado. Entonces Abraham hizo un gran banquete el día cuando Isaac fue destetado.
The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham [Father of a multitude] made a great feast on the day that Isaac [Laughter] was weaned.
9 Pero Sara vio que el hijo que Abraham tuvo con Agar la egipcia se burlaba.
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 Por eso le dijo a Abraham: Expulsa a esa esclava y a su hijo, porque no heredará el hijo de esa esclava con mi hijo Isaac.
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 Pero el asunto pareció muy grave a Abraham por cuanto era su hijo.
The thing was very grievous in Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s sight on account of his son.
12 Entonces ʼElohim dijo a Abraham: No te parezca grave lo del muchacho y tu esclava. Escucha la voz de Sara en todo lo que te dice, porque en Isaac te será llamada descendencia,
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 aunque también haré una nación del hijo de la esclava, pues él es descendiente tuyo.
I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
14 Entonces Abraham se levantó temprano en la mañana, tomó pan y un odre con agua y lo dio a Agar. Colocó también sobre su espalda al niño y la despidió. Ella salió y anduvo errante por el desierto de Beerseba.
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 Cuando se acabó el agua del odre colocó al muchacho bajo uno de los arbustos.
The water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 Luego fue y se sentó enfrente, a distancia como de un tiro de arco, pues se dijo: Así no veré cuando el muchacho muera. Se sentó enfrente, alzó su voz y lloró.
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 Pero ʼElohim oyó la voz del muchacho. El Ángel de ʼElohim llamó a Agar desde el cielo y le dijo: ¿Qué tienes, Agar? No temas, porque ʼElohim oyó la voz del muchacho en donde está.
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 ¡Levántate! Alza al muchacho y sostenlo con tu mano, porque haré de él una gran nación.
Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
19 ʼElohim le abrió los ojos y vio un pozo de agua. Y fue, llenó el odre de agua y dio de beber al muchacho.
God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink.
20 ʼElohim estuvo con el muchacho, el cual creció y habitó en el desierto y fue tirador de arco.
God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
21 Habitó en el desierto de Parán, y su madre tomó para él una esposa de la tierra de Egipto.
He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
22 Sucedió en aquel tiempo que Abimelec y Ficol, capitán de su ejército, se dirigieron a Abraham y dijeron: ʼElohim está contigo en todo lo que tú haces.
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 Ahora, pues, júrame aquí por ʼElohim, que no me engañarás, ni a mí, ni a mi hijo, ni a mis futuras generaciones. Conforme a la benevolencia con la cual he obrado contigo, haz conmigo y con la tierra en la cual te hospedaste.
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 Y Abraham contestó: Yo juro.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, “I will swear.”
25 Pero Abraham se quejó ante Abimelec por causa de un pozo de agua del cual se apoderaron los esclavos de Abimelec.
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 Y Abimelec dijo: No sé quién hizo tal cosa, y además, tú no me informaste ni yo lo supe hasta hoy.
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 Entonces Abraham tomó un rebaño y una manada de ganado vacuno y se las dio a Abimelec. Ambos concertaron un pacto.
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 Abraham separó siete corderas del rebaño,
Abraham [Father of a multitude] set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 y Abimelec preguntó a Abraham: ¿Qué significan estas siete corderas que colocaste aparte?
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 Y respondió: Que tomarás de mi mano estas siete corderas a fin de que me seas testigo de que cavé este pozo.
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 Por tanto aquel lugar se llamó Beerseba, pues ambos se juramentaron allí.
Therefore he called that place Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], because they both swore there.
32 Pactaron, pues, en Beerseba, y se levantaron Abimelec y Ficol, capitán de su ejército, y regresaron a tierra de los filisteos.
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 [Abraham] plantó un tamarisco en Beerseba e invocó allí el Nombre de Yavé ʼEl-Olam.
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 Abraham peregrinó muchos días en tierra de los filisteos.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] many days.
