Génesis 21
1 Y VISITÓ Jehová á Sara, como había dicho, é hizo Jehová con Sara como había hablado.
Yahweh was very kind to Sarah, just as he said he would be. He did for Sarah exactly what he promised to do.
2 Y concibió y parió Sara á Abraham un hijo en su vejez, en el tiempo que Dios le había dicho.
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 Y llamó Abraham el nombre de su hijo que le nació, que le parió Sara, Isaac.
Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to.
4 Y circuncidó Abraham á su hijo Isaac de ocho días, como Dios le había mandado.
Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do.
5 Y era Abraham de cien años, cuando le nació Isaac su hijo.
Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
6 Entonces dijo Sara: Dios me ha hecho reir, y cualquiera que lo oyere, se reirá conmigo.
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 Y añadió: ¿Quién dijera á Abraham que Sara había de dar de mamar á hijos? pues que le he parido un hijo á su vejez.
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 Y creció el niño, y fué destetado; é hizo Abraham gran banquete el día que fué destetado Isaac.
The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.
9 Y vió Sara al hijo de Agar la Egipcia, el cual había [ésta] parido á Abraham, que se burlaba.
([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.
10 Por tanto dijo á Abraham: Echa á esta sierva y á su hijo; que el hijo de esta sierva no ha de heredar con mi hijo, con Isaac.
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 Este dicho pareció grave en gran manera á Abraham á causa de su hijo.
Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].
12 Entonces dijo Dios á Abraham: No te parezca grave á causa del muchacho y de tu sierva; en todo lo que te dijere Sara, oye su voz, porque en Isaac te será llamada descendencia.
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 Y también al hijo de la sierva pondré en gente, porque es tu simiente.
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 Entonces Abraham se levantó muy de mañana, y tomó pan, y un odre de agua, y diólo á Agar, poniéndolo sobre su hombro, y [entrególe] el muchacho, y despidióla. Y ella partió, y andaba errante por el desierto de Beer-seba.
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 Y faltó el agua del odre, y echó al muchacho debajo de un árbol;
After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.
16 Y fuése y sentóse enfrente, alejándose como un tiro de arco; porque decía: No veré cuando el muchacho morirá: y sentóse enfrente, y alzó su voz y lloró.
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 Y oyó Dios la voz del muchacho; y el ángel de Dios llamó á Agar desde el cielo, y le dijo: ¿Qué tienes, Agar? No temas; porque Dios ha oído la voz del muchacho en donde está.
[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 Levántate, alza al muchacho, y ásele de tu mano, porque en gran gente lo tengo de poner.
Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
19 Entonces abrió Dios sus ojos, y vió una fuente de agua; y fué, y llenó el odre de agua, y dió de beber al muchacho.
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 Y fué Dios con el muchacho; y creció, y habitó en el desierto, y fué tirador de arco.
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 Y habitó en el desierto de Parán; y su madre le tomó mujer de la tierra de Egipto.
He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.
22 Y aconteció en aquel mismo tiempo que habló Abimelech, y Phicol, príncipe de su ejército, á Abraham diciendo: Dios es contigo en todo cuanto haces:
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 Ahora pues, júrame aquí por Dios, que no faltarás á mí, ni á mi hijo, ni á mi nieto; sino que conforme á la bondad que yo hice contigo, harás tú conmigo, y con la tierra donde has peregrinado.
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 Y respondió Abraham: Yo juraré.
So Abraham promised to do that.
25 Y Abraham reconvino á Abimelech á causa de un pozo de agua, que los siervos de Abimelech le habían quitado.
[Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
26 Y respondió Abimelech: No sé quién haya hecho esto, ni tampoco tú me lo hiciste saber, ni yo lo he oído hasta hoy.
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 Y tomó Abraham ovejas y vacas, y dió á Abimelech; é hicieron ambos alianza.
So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
28 Y puso Abraham siete corderas del rebaño aparte.
Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
29 Y dijo Abimelech á Abraham: ¿Qué significan esas siete corderas que has puesto aparte?
Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
30 Y él respondió: Que estas siete corderas tomarás de mi mano, para que me sean en testimonio de que yo cavé este pozo.
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 Por esto llamó á aquel lugar Beer-seba; porque allí juraron ambos.
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 Así hicieron alianza en Beer-seba: y levantóse Abimelech, y Phicol, príncipe de su ejército, y se volvieron á tierra de los Filisteos.
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 Y plantó [Abraham] un bosque en Beer-seba, é invocó allí el nombre de Jehová Dios eterno.
Abraham planted a (tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel) there, and he worshiped the eternal God there.
34 Y moró Abraham en tierra de los Filisteos muchos días.
Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
