Genesis 21
1 The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Visitavit autem Dominus Saram, sicut promiserat: et implevit quae locutus est.
2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Concepitque et peperit filium in senectute sua, tempore quo praedixerat ei Deus.
3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Vocavitque Abraham nomen filii sui, quem genuit ei Sara, Isaac:
4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
et circumcidit eum octavo die, sicut praeceperat ei Deus,
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
cum centum esset annorum: hac quippe aetate patris, natus est Isaac.
6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
Dixitque Sara: Risum fecit mihi Deus: quicumque audierit, corridebit mihi.
7 She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
Rursumque ait: Quis auditurus crederet Abraham quod Sara lactaret filium, quem peperit ei iam seni?
8 The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Crevit igitur puer, et ablactatus est: fecitque Abraham grande convivium in die ablactationis eius.
9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Cumque vidisset Sara filium Agar Aegyptiae ludentem cum Isaac filio suo, dixit ad Abraham:
10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”
Eiice ancillam hanc, et filium eius: non enim erit heres filius ancillae cum filio meo Isaac.
11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
Dure accepit hoc Abraham pro filio suo.
12 God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.
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.
13 I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
Sed et filium ancillae faciam in gentem magnam, quia semen tuum est.
14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container 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.
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.
15 The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
Cumque consumpta esset aqua in utre, abiecit puerum subter unam arborem, quae ibi erat.
16 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 opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
Et abiit, seditque e regione procul quantum potest arcus iacere. dixit enim: Non videbo morientem puerum: et sedens contra, levavit vocem suam et flevit.
17 God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
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.
18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
Surge, tolle puerum, et tene manum illius: quia in gentem magnam faciam eum.
19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
Aperuitque oculos eius Deus: quae videns puteum aquae, abiit, et implevit utrem, deditque puero bibere.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.
Et fuit cum eo: qui crevit, et moratus est in solitudine, factusque est iuvenis sagittarius.
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
Habitavitque in deserto Pharan, et accepit illi mater sua uxorem de terra Aegypti.
22 At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
Eodem tempore dixit Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus eius ad Abraham: Deus tecum est in universis quae agis.
23 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 kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
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.
24 Abraham said, “I will swear.”
Dixitque Abraham: Ego iurabo.
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Et increpavit Abimelech propter puteum aquae quem vi abstulerunt servi eius.
26 Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”
Responditque Abimelech: Nescivi quis fecerit hanc rem: sed et tu non indicasti mihi, et ego non audivi praeter hodie.
27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
Tulit itaque Abraham oves et boves, et dedit Abimelech: percusseruntque ambo foedus.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Et statuit Abraham septem agnas gregis seorsum.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”
Cui dixit Abimelech: Quid sibi volunt septem agnae istae, quas stare fecisti seorsum?
30 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.”
At ille: Septem, inquit, agnas accipies de manu mea: ut sint mihi in testimonium, quoniam ego fodi puteum istum.
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.
Idcirco vocatus est locus ille Bersabee: quia ibi uterque iuravit.
32 So 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.
Et inierunt foedus pro puteo iuramenti.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
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.
34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
Et fuit colonus terrae Palaestinorum diebus multis.
