1 And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did to Sarah as he had spoken.
2 And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 And Sarah said, God has made me laugh: all that hear will laugh with me.
7 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle children? For I have borne {him} a son in his old age.
8 And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
10 And she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son-with Isaac.
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
12 And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy handmaid: {in} all that Sarah hath said to thee hearken to her voice, for in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
13 But also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave {it} to Hagar, putting {it} on her shoulder-and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,
16 and she went and sat down over against {him}, a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against {him}, and lifted up her voice and wept.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What {aileth} thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is.
18 Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation.
19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
23 And now swear to me here by God that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou sojournest.
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
26 And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this, neither hast thou told me {of it}, neither have I heard {of it} but to-day.
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What {mean} these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves?
30 And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.
31 Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there they had sworn, both of them.
32 And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 And {Abraham} planted a tamarisk in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Eternal *God.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
1 Ja Issand hoolitses Saara eest, nõnda nagu Ta oli lubanud. Issand toimis Saaraga, nõnda nagu Ta oli öelnud:
2 Saara sai käima peale ja tõi Aabrahamile poja ilmale ta vanas eas, määratud ajal, millest Jumal temaga oli rääkinud.
3 Ja Aabraham pani oma pojale, kes temale sündis, kelle Saara temale ilmale tõi, Iisak nimeks.
4 Ja Aabraham lõikas ümber oma poja Iisaki, kui see kaheksapäevane oli, nõnda nagu Jumal teda oli käskinud.
5 Ja Aabraham oli sada aastat vana, kui ta poeg Iisak temale sündis.
6 Aga Saara ütles: „Jumal pani mind naerma! Igaüks, kes sellest kuuleb, naerab mind!"
7 Ja ta ütles: „Kes oleks võinud Aabrahamile kuulutada, et Saara imetab veel lapsi? Ometi tõin ma temale poja ilmale ta vanas eas!"
8 Laps kasvas ja võõrutati; ja Aabraham tegi suured joodud Iisaki võõrutamispäeval.
9 Kui Saara nägi egiptlanna Haagari poega, kelle see Aabrahamile oli ilmale toonud, naervat,
10 siis ta ütles Aabrahamile: „Kihuta minema see ümmardaja ja tema poeg, sest selle ümmardaja poeg ei või pärida ühes minu poja Iisakiga!"
11 See kõne aga oli Aabrahami silmis ta poja kohta väga paha.
12 Aga Jumal ütles Aabrahamile: „Ärgu olgu see su silmis paha ei poisi ega su ümmardaja kohta. Kõiges, mis Saara sulle ütleb, kuule ta sõna, sest Iisakist loetakse sinu sugu!
13 Aga ka ümmardaja poja Ma teen rahvaks, sest ta on ju sinu järeltulija!"
14 Ja Aabraham tõusis hommikul vara, võttis leiva ja veelähkri ning andis Haagarile, pannes need temale selga, samuti lapse ja saatis ta minema. Ja tema läks ning eksles Beer-Seba kõrbes.
15 Kui vesi lähkrist lõppes, siis ta heitis lapse ühe põõsa alla
16 ja läks ning istus temaga kohastikku, ammulaske kauguses, sest ta ütles: „Ma ei või näha lapse surma!" Nõnda ta istus temaga kohastikku, tõstis häält ja nuttis.
17 Aga Jumal kuulis poisi häält ja Jumala Ingel hüüdis taevast Haagarit ning ütles temale: „Mis sul viga on, Haagar? Ära karda, sest Jumal on kuulnud poisi häält seal, kus ta on.
18 Tõuse, tõsta poiss üles ja võta ta käekõrvale, sest Ma tahan temast teha suure rahva!"
19 Ja Jumal tegi ta silmad lahti, nõnda et ta nägi üht veekaevu; ta läks ning täitis lähkri veega ja andis poisile juua.
20 Ja Jumal oli poisiga; ta kasvas ja elas kõrbes, ja temast sai ammukütt.
21 Ta elas Paarani kõrbes; ja ta ema võttis temale Egiptusemaalt naise.
22 Sel ajal Abimelek ja tema väepealik Piikol rääkisid Aabrahamiga, öeldes: „Jumal on sinuga kõiges, mis sa teed.
23 Ja nüüd vannu mulle siin Jumala juures, et sa ei peta mind ega mu lapsi ja lapselapsi! Heateo pärast, mis ma sulle tegin, tee seda mulle ja maale, kus sa võõrana elad!"
24 Ja Aabraham ütles: „Ma vannun!"
25 Aabraham aga noomis Abimelekit veekaevu pärast, mille Abimeleki sulased väevõimuga olid ära võtnud.
26 Kuid Abimelek vastas: „Mina ei tea, kes seda tegi. Sina pole mulle sellest teatanud ja mina ise pole ka midagi kuulnud enne kui täna!"
27 Siis Aabraham võttis pudulojuseid ja veiseid ja andis Abimelekile; ja nad mõlemad sõlmisid lepingu.
28 Kui Aabraham pani seitse lambatalle eraldi,
29 küsis Abimelek Aabrahamilt: „Milleks on siin need seitse talle, keda sa oled pannud eraldi?"
30 Ja tema vastas: „Sa pead need seitse talle minu käest võtma tõendina minu poolt, et mina olen kaevanud selle kaevu!"
31 Seepärast hüütakse seda paika Beer-Sebaks, sest nad mõlemad andsid seal vande.
32 Nõnda sõlmisid nad Beer-Sebas lepingu. Siis Abimelek ja tema väepealik Piikol tõusid ja läksid tagasi vilistide maale.
33 Aabraham aga istutas Beer-Sebasse ühe tamariskipuu ja hüüdis seal appi Issanda, igavese Jumala nime.
34 Ja Aabraham elas võõrana vilistide maal kaua aega.
