Genesis 21
1 visitavit autem Dominus Sarram sicut promiserat et implevit quae locutus est
And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;
2 concepitque et peperit filium in senectute sua tempore quo praedixerat ei Deus
and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;
3 vocavitque Abraham nomen filii sui quem genuit ei Sarra Isaac
and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him — Isaac;
4 et circumcidit eum octavo die sicut praeceperat ei Deus
and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
5 cum centum esset annorum hac quippe aetate patris natus est Isaac
And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,
6 dixitque Sarra risum fecit mihi Deus quicumque audierit conridebit mihi
and Sarah saith, 'God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'
7 rursumque ait quis auditurum crederet Abraham quod Sarra lactaret filium quem peperit ei iam seni
She saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'
8 crevit igitur puer et ablactatus est fecitque Abraham grande convivium in die ablactationis eius
And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;
9 cumque vidisset Sarra filium Agar Aegyptiae ludentem dixit ad Abraham
and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,
10 eice ancillam hanc et filium eius non enim erit heres filius ancillae cum filio meo Isaac
and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with Isaac.'
11 dure accepit hoc Abraham pro filio suo
And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;
12 cui dixit Deus non tibi videatur asperum super puero et super ancilla tua omnia quae dixerit tibi Sarra audi vocem eius quia in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen
and God saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.
13 sed et filium ancillae faciam in gentem magnam quia semen tuum est
As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.'
14 surrexit itaque Abraham mane et tollens panem et utrem aquae inposuit scapulae eius tradiditque puerum et dimisit eam quae cum abisset errabat in solitudine Bersabee
And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
15 cumque consumpta esset aqua in utre abiecit puerum subter unam arborum quae ibi erant
and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.
16 et abiit seditque e regione procul quantum potest arcus iacere dixit enim non videbo morientem puerum et sedens contra levavit vocem suam et flevit
And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
17 exaudivit autem Deus vocem pueri vocavitque angelus Domini Agar de caelo dicens quid agis Agar noli timere exaudivit enim Deus vocem pueri de loco in quo est
And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];
18 surge tolle puerum et tene manum illius quia in gentem magnam faciam eum
rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
19 aperuitque oculos eius Deus quae videns puteum aquae abiit et implevit utrem deditque puero bibere
And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;
20 et fuit cum eo qui crevit et moratus est in solitudine et factus est iuvenis sagittarius
and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;
21 habitavitque in deserto Pharan et accepit illi mater sua uxorem de terra Aegypti
and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
22 eodem tempore dixit Abimelech et Fichol princeps exercitus eius ad Abraham Deus tecum est in universis quae agis
And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, 'God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;
23 iura ergo per Dominum ne noceas mihi et posteris meis stirpique meae sed iuxta misericordiam quam feci tibi facies mihi et terrae in qua versatus es advena
and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
24 dixitque Abraham ego iurabo
And Abraham saith, 'I — I do swear.'
25 et increpavit Abimelech propter puteum aquae quem vi abstulerant servi illius
And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,
26 respondit Abimelech nescivi quis fecerit hanc rem sed et tu non indicasti mihi et ego non audivi praeter hodie
and Abimelech saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'
27 tulit itaque Abraham oves et boves et dedit Abimelech percusseruntque ambo foedus
And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
28 et statuit Abraham septem agnas gregis seorsum
and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 cui dixit Abimelech quid sibi volunt septem agnae istae quas stare fecisti seorsum
And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, 'What [are] they — these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
30 at ille septem inquit agnas accipies de manu mea ut sint in testimonium mihi quoniam ego fodi puteum istum
And he saith, 'For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;'
31 idcirco vocatus est locus ille Bersabee quia ibi uterque iuraverunt
therefore hath he called that place 'Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
32 et inierunt foedus pro puteo Iuramenti
And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;
33 surrexit autem Abimelech et Fichol princeps militiae eius reversique sunt in terram Palestinorum Abraham vero plantavit nemus in Bersabee et invocavit ibi nomen Domini Dei aeterni
and [Abraham] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;
34 et fuit colonus terrae Philisthinorum diebus multis
and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
