¹Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken.

¹HERREN så til Sara, som han havde lovet, og HERREN gjorde ved Sara, som han havde sagt,

²Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

²og hun undfangede og fødte Abraham en Søn i hans Alderdom, til den Tid Gud havde sagt ham.

³Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. Isaac means “He laughs.”

³Abraham kaldte den Søn, han fik med Sara, Isak;

⁴Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

⁴og Abraham omskar sin Søn Isak, da han var otte Dage gammel, således som Gud havde pålagt ham.

⁵Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.

⁵Abraham var 100 År gammel, da hans Søn Isak fødtes ham.

⁶Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

⁶Da sagde Sara: "Gud ham beredt mig Latter; enhver, der hører det, vil le ad mig."

⁷She said, “Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”

⁷Og hun sagde: "Hvem skulde have sagt Abraham, at Sara ammer Børn! Sandelig, jeg har født ham en Søn i hans Alderdom!"

⁸The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

⁸Drengen voksede til og blev vænnet fra, og Abraham gjorde et stort Gæstebud, den dag Isak blev vænnet fra.

⁹Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

⁹Men da Sara så Ægypterinden Hagars Søn, som hun havde født Abraham, lege med hendes Søn Isak,

¹⁰Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this handmaid and her son! For the son of this handmaid will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”

¹⁰sagde hun til Abraham: "Jag den Trælkvinde og hendes Søn bort, thi ikke skal denne Trælkvindes Søn arve sammen med min Søn, med Isak!"

¹¹The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.

¹¹Derover blev Abraham såre ilde til Mode for sin Søns Skyld;

¹²God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your handmaid. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For from Isaac will your seed be called.

¹²men Gud sagde til Abraham: "Vær ikke ilde til Mode over Drengen og din Trælkvinde, men adlyd Sara i alt, hvad hun siger dig, thi efter Isak skal dit Afkom nævnes;

¹³I will also make a nation of the son of the handmaid, because he is your seed.”

¹³men også Trælkvindens Søn vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk; han er jo dit Afkom!"

¹⁴Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

¹⁴Tidligt næste Morgen tog da Abraham Brød og en Sæk Vand og gav Hagar det, og Drengen satte han på hendes Skulder, hvorpå han sendte hende bort. Som hun nu vandrede af Sted, for hun vild i Be'ersjebas Ørken,

¹⁵The water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

¹⁵og Vandet slap op i hendes Sæk; da lagde hun Drengen hen under en af Buskene

¹⁶She 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.

¹⁶og gik hen og satte sig i omtrent et Pileskuds Afstand derfra, idet hun sagde ved sig selv: "Jeg kan ikke udholde at se Drengen dø!" Og således sad hun, medens Drengen græd højt.

¹⁷God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

¹⁷Da hørte Gud Drengens Gråd, og Guds Engel råbte til Hagar fra Himmelen og sagde til hende: "Hvad fattes dig, Hagar? Frygt ikke, thi Gud har hørt Drengens Røst der, hvor,han ligger;

¹⁸Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”

¹⁸rejs dig, hjælp Drengen op og tag ham ved Hånden, thi jeg vil gøre ham til et stort Folk!"

¹⁹God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink.

¹⁹Da åbnede Gud hendes Øjne, så hun fik Øje på en Brønd med Vand; og hun gik hen og fyldte Sækken med Vand og gav Drengen at drikke.

²⁰God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.

²⁰Og Gud var med Drengen, og han voksede til; og han bosatte sig i Ørkenen og blev Bueskytte.

²¹He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

²¹Han boede i Parans Ørken, og hans Moder tog ham en Hustru fra Ægypten.

²²It happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.

²²Ved den Tid sagde Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol til Abraham: "Gud er med dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for;

²³Now, 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 kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”

²³tilsværg mig derfor her ved Gud, at du aldrig vil være troløs mod mig eller mine Efterkommere, men at du vil handle lige så venligt mod mig og det Land, du gæster, som jeg har handlet mod dig!"

²⁴Abraham said, “I will swear.”

²⁴Da svarede Abraham: "Jeg vil sværge!"

²⁵Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

²⁵Men Abraham krævede Abimelek til Regnskab for en Brønd, som Abimeleks Folk havde tilranet sig.

²⁶Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today.”

²⁶Da svarede Abimelek: "Jeg ved intet om, hvem der har gjort det; hverken har du underrettet mig derom, ej heller har jeg hørt det før i Dag!"

²⁷Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.

²⁷Da tog Abraham Småkvæg og Hornkvæg og gav Abimelek det, og derpå sluttede de Pagt med hinanden.

²⁸Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

²⁸Men Abraham satte syv Lam til Side,

²⁹Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?”

²⁹og da Abimelek spurgte ham: "Hvad betyder de syv Lam, du der har sat til Side?"

³⁰He 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.”

³⁰svarede han: "Jo, de syv Lam skal du modtage af min Hånd til Vidnesbyrd om, at jeg har gravet denne Brønd."

³¹Therefore he called that place Beersheba, Beersheba can mean “well of the oath” or “well of seven.” because they both swore there.

³¹Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Be'ersjeba, thi der svor de hinanden Eder;

³²So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

³²og de sluttede Pagt ved Be'ersjeba. Så brød Abimelek og hans Hærfører Pikol op og vendte tilbage til Filisternes Land.

³³Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

³³Men Abraham plantede en Tamarisk i Be'ersjeba og påkaldte der HERREN den evige Guds Navn.

³⁴Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.

³⁴Og Abraham boede en Tid lang; som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
