Herren besøkte Sara som han hadde sagt, og Herren gjorde med Sara som han hadde lovet.

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

Sara ble gravid og fødte Abraham en sønn i hans alderdom, på den tiden Gud hadde sagt til ham.

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

Abraham kalte sønnen som ble født av Sara, Isak. {Isak betyr "Han ler."}

Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.{Isaac means "He laughs."}

Abraham omskar sønnen sin, Isak, da han var åtte dager gammel, slik Gud hadde befalt ham.

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

Abraham var hundre år gammel da hans sønn, Isak, ble født.

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

Sara sa: "Gud har fått meg til å le. Alle som hører det vil le med meg."

Sarah said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me."

Hun sa: "Hvem ville vel ha sagt til Abraham at Sara skulle amme barn? For jeg har født ham en sønn i hans alderdom."

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

Barnet vokste og ble avvent. Abraham lagde en stor fest den dagen Isak ble avvent.

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

Sara så sønnen til Hagar, egypterinnen, som hun hadde født Abraham, håne.

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

Derfor sa hun til Abraham: "Driv bort denne slavekvinnen og hennes sønn! For slavekvinnens sønn skal ikke arve sammen med min sønn, Isak."

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

Dette var svært tungt for Abraham på grunn av sønnen hans.

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

Gud sa til Abraham: "La det ikke være tungt for deg på grunn av gutten og slavekvinnen. I alt Sara sier til deg, skal du lytte til henne. For i Isak skal din ætt kalles."

God 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.

Også av slavekvinnens sønn vil jeg gjøre en nasjon, fordi han er din ætt."

Also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is your seed."

Abraham sto tidlig opp om morgenen og tok brød og en vannflaske, ga det til Hagar, la det på hennes skulder, ga henne barnet, og sendte henne av sted. Hun drog av gårde og vandret i ørkenen ved Beersheba.

Abraham 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.

Da vannet i flasken var oppbrukt, kastet hun barnet under en av buskene.

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

Hun gikk og satte seg et stykke bort, omtrent et bueskudd unna. For hun sa: "La meg ikke se barnet dø." Hun satt der borte, løftet røsten og gråt.

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.

Gud hørte guttens gråt, og Guds engel ropte til Hagar fra himmelen og sa til henne: "Hva plager deg, Hagar? Frykt ikke, for Gud har hørt guttens røst der han er.

God 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.

Reis deg, løft gutten opp, og hold ham i hånden. For jeg vil gjøre ham til et stort folk."

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

Gud åpnet hennes øyne, og hun så en brønn med vann. Hun gikk dit, fylte flasken med vann og ga gutten å drikke.

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

Gud var med gutten, og han vokste opp. Han bodde i ørkenen og ble, etter hvert som han vokste opp, en bueskytter.

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

Han bodde i Paran-ørkenen, og hans mor tok en kone til ham fra Egypt.

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

På den tiden skjedde det at Abimelek og Pikol, høvdingen over hans hær, sa til Abraham: "Gud er med deg i alt hva du gjør.

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

Sverg nå for meg her ved Gud at du ikke vil bedra meg, eller min sønn eller min sønnesønn, men at du skal vise den samme vennlighet mot meg og det landet du har bodd i som en fremmed, som jeg har vist deg."

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."

Abraham sa: "Jeg vil sverge."

Abraham said, "I will swear."

Abraham klaget til Abimelek om en vannbrønn som Abimeleks tjenere hadde tatt med makt.

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

Abimelek sa: "Jeg vet ikke hvem som har gjort dette. Du har heller ikke fortalt meg det, og jeg har ikke hørt om det før i dag."

Abimelech said, "I don't know who has done this thing. Neither did you tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today."

Abraham tok sauer og okser og ga dem til Abimelek, og de to inngikk en pakt.

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

Abraham satte syv unge søyer for seg selv.

Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

Abimelek sa til Abraham: "Hva betyr disse syv unge søyene som du har satt for seg selv?"

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

Han sa: "Du skal ta disse syv unge søyene av meg, som et vitnesbyrd om at jeg har gravd denne brønnen."

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."

Derfor kalte han det stedet Beersheba, {Beersheba kan bety "edenes brønn" eller "syv-løftets brønn."} fordi de sverget der.

Therefore he called that place Beersheba,{Beersheba can mean "well of the oath" or "well of seven."} because they both swore there.

Så inngikk de en pakt ved Beersheba. Abimelek og Pikol, høvdingen over hans hær, reiste tilbake til filistrenes land.

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

Abraham plantet en tamarisk i Beersheba og påkalte der Herrens navn, den Evige Gud.

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

Abraham bodde som fremmed i filistrenes land i mange dager.

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