Genesis 21

وَافْتَقَدَ الرَّبُّ سَارَةَ كَمَا قَالَ، وَفَعَلَ الرَّبُّ لِسَارَةَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ.

And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

فَحَبِلَتْ سَارَةُ وَوَلَدَتْ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنًا فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ، فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.

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

وَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ اسْمَ ابْنِهِ الْمَوْلُودِ لَهُ، الَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لَهُ سَارَةُ «إِسْحَاقَ».

And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

وَخَتَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ ابْنَهُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ.

And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

وَكَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ حِينَ وُلِدَ لَهُ إِسْحَاقُ ابْنُهُ.

And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

وَقَالَتْ سَارَةُ: «قَدْ صَنَعَ إِلَيَّ اللهُ ضِحْكًا. كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ يَضْحَكُ لِي».

And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

وَقَالَتْ: «مَنْ قَالَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: سَارَةُ تُرْضِعُ بَنِينَ؟ حَتَّى وَلَدْتُ ابْنًا فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ!».

And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.

فَكَبِرَ الْوَلَدُ وَفُطِمَ. وَصَنَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَلِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً يَوْمَ فِطَامِ إِسْحَاقَ.

And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

وَرَأَتْ سَارَةُ ابْنَ هَاجَرَ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ الَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ يَمْزَحُ،

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.

فَقَالَتْ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «اطْرُدْ هذِهِ الْجَارِيَةَ وَابْنَهَا، لأَنَّ ابْنَ هذِهِ الْجَارِيَةِ لاَ يَرِثُ مَعَ ابْنِي إِسْحَاقَ».

Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

فَقَبُحَ الْكَلاَمُ جِدًّا فِي عَيْنَيْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِسَبَبِ ابْنِهِ.

And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.

فَقَالَ اللهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «لاَ يَقْبُحُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْغُلاَمِ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ جَارِيَتِكَ. فِي كُلِّ مَا تَقُولُ لَكَ سَارَةُ اسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهَا، لأَنَّهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ يُدْعَى لَكَ نَسْلٌ.

And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

وَابْنُ الْجَارِيَةِ أَيْضًا سَأَجْعَلُهُ أُمَّةً لأَنَّهُ نَسْلُكَ».

And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

فَبَكَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ صَبَاحًا وَأَخَذَ خُبْزًا وَقِرْبَةَ مَاءٍ وَأَعْطَاهُمَا لِهَاجَرَ، وَاضِعًا إِيَّاهُمَا عَلَى كَتِفِهَا، وَالْوَلَدَ، وَصَرَفَهَا. فَمَضَتْ وَتَاهَتْ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer–sheba.

وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ الْمَاءُ مِنَ الْقِرْبَةِ طَرَحَتِ الْوَلَدَ تَحْتَ إِحْدَى الأَشْجَارِ،

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

وَمَضَتْ وَجَلَسَتْ مُقَابِلَهُ بَعِيدًا نَحْوَ رَمْيَةِ قَوْسٍ، لأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «لاَ أَنْظُرُ مَوْتَ الْوَلَدِ». فَجَلَسَتْ مُقَابِلَهُ وَرَفَعَتْ صَوْتَهَا وَبَكَتْ.

And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.

فَسَمِعَ اللهُ صَوْتَ الْغُلاَمِ، وَنَادَى مَلاَكُ اللهِ هَاجَرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ لَهَا: «مَا لَكِ يَا هَاجَرُ؟ لاَ تَخَافِي، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ سَمِعَ لِصَوْتِ الْغُلاَمِ حَيْثُ هُوَ.

And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.

قُومِي احْمِلِي الْغُلاَمَ وَشُدِّي يَدَكِ بِهِ، لأَنِّي سَأَجْعَلُهُ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً».

Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

وَفَتَحَ اللهُ عَيْنَيْهَا فَأَبْصَرَتْ بِئْرَ مَاءٍ، فَذَهَبَتْ وَمَلأَتِ الْقِرْبَةَ مَاءً وَسَقَتِ الْغُلاَمَ.

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

وَكَانَ اللهُ مَعَ الْغُلاَمِ فَكَبِرَ، وَسَكَنَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَكَانَ يَنْمُو رَامِيَ قَوْسٍ.

And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

وَسَكَنَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ، وَأَخَذَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ زَوْجَةً مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

وَحَدَثَ فِي ذلِكَ الزَّمَانِ أَنَّ أَبِيمَالِكَ وَفِيكُولَ رَئِيسَ جَيْشِهِ كَلَّمَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَائِلَيْنِ: «اللهُ مَعَكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ.

And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:

فَالآنَ احْلِفْ لِي بِاللهِ ههُنَا أَنَّكَ لاَ تَغْدُرُ بِي وَلاَ بِنَسْلِي وَذُرِّيَّتِي، كَالْمَعْرُوفِ الَّذِي صَنَعْتُ إِلَيْكَ تَصْنَعُ إِلَيَّ وَإِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَغَرَّبْتَ فِيهَا».

Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.

فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «أَنَا أَحْلِفُ».

And Abraham said, I will swear.

وَعَاتَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبِيمَالِكَ لِسَبَبِ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ الَّتِي اغْتَصَبَهَا عَبِيدُ أَبِيمَالِكَ.

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

فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ: «لَمْ أَعْلَمْ مَنْ فَعَلَ هذَا الأَمْرَ. أَنْتَ لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي، وَلاَ أَنَا سَمِعْتُ سِوَى الْيَوْمِ».

And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.

فَأَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَأَعْطَى أَبِيمَالِكَ، فَقَطَعَا كِلاَهُمَا مِيثَاقًا.

And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.

وَأَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ سَبْعَ نِعَاجٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَحْدَهَا.

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

فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «مَا هِيَ هذِهِ السَّبْعُ النِّعَاجِ الَّتِي أَقَمْتَهَا وَحْدَهَا؟»

And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?

فَقَالَ: «إِنَّكَ سَبْعَ نِعَاجٍ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ يَدِي، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ لِي شَهَادَةً بِأَنِّي حَفَرْتُ هذِهِ الْبِئْرَ».

And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.

لِذلِكَ دَعَا ذلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ «بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ»، لأَنَّهُمَا هُنَاكَ حَلَفَا كِلاَهُمَا.

Wherefore he called that place Beer–sheba; because there they sware both of them.

فَقَطَعَا مِيثَاقًا فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، ثُمَّ قَامَ أَبِيمَالِكُ وَفِيكُولُ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ وَرَجَعَا إِلَى أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

Thus they made a covenant at Beer–sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

وَغَرَسَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَثْلاً فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ الإِلهِ السَّرْمَدِيِّ.

And Abraham planted a grove in Beer–sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

وَتَغَرَّبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً.

And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
