Génesis 21

Zürcher Bibel 1931

1DER Herr aber nahm sich Saras an, wie er verheissen hatte, und tat an ihr nach seinem Worte: (a) 1Mo 18:10 14

2Sara ward schwanger und gebar dem Abraham in seinem Alter einen Sohn, um die Zeit, die Gott angekündigt hatte. (a) 1Mo 18:10 14

3Und Abraham nannte den Sohn, der ihm von Sara geboren worden war, Isaak.

4Am achten Tage aber beschnitt Abraham seinen Sohn Isaak, wie ihm Gott geboten hatte. (a) 1Mo 17:11 12

5Abraham war hundert Jahre alt, als ihm sein Sohn Isaak geboren wurde.

6Da sprach Sara: Ein Lachen hat mir Gott bereitet! Wer davon hört, wird über mich lachen.

7Und sie sprach: Wer hat je dem Abraham verkünden können, dass Sara Kinder stillt? Und doch habe ich ihm in seinem Alter einen Sohn geboren!

8Und das Kind wuchs und ward entwöhnt; und Abraham veranstaltete ein grosses Mahl an dem Tage, da Isaak entwöhnt ward.

9Als nun Sara den Sohn der Ägypterin Hagar, den diese dem Abraham geboren hatte, mit ihrem Sohne Isaak spielen sah,

10sprach sie zu Abraham: Jage die Magd da mit ihrem Sohne fort; denn der Sohn dieser Magd soll nicht Erbe werden mit meinem Sohn, mit Isaak.

11Dieses Wort missfiel Abraham sehr um seines Sohnes willen.

12Aber Gott sprach zu Abraham: Lass dir's nicht leid sein um den Knaben und um deine Magd. In allem, was Sara zu dir sagt, höre auf sie. Denn nur nach Isaak soll dein Geschlecht benannt werden.

13Doch auch den Sohn der Magd will ich zu einem Volke machen, weil er deines Stammes ist.

14Am andern Morgen in der Frühe nahm Abraham Brot und einen Schlauch voll Wasser und gab es Hagar, den Knaben aber setzte er ihr auf die Schulter; so schickte er sie fort. Da ging sie hin und irrte in der Wüste von Beerseba umher.

15Als nun das Wasser in dem Schlauche ausgegangen war, warf sie den Knaben unter einen Strauch,

16ging hin und setzte sich gegenüber, etwa einen Bogenschuss weit. Denn sie sprach: Ich kann den Tod des Knaben nicht mitansehen. So sass sie ihm gegenüber; der Knabe aber begann laut zu weinen.

17Da hörte Gott die Stimme des Knaben, und der Engel Gottes rief der Hagar vom Himmel zu und sprach zu ihr: Was hast du, Hagar? Fürchte dich nicht; denn Gott hat die Stimme des Knaben gehört, dort wo er liegt.

18Stehe auf, nimm den Knaben und halte ihn fest an der Hand; denn zu einem grossen Volke will ich ihn machen.

19Und Gott öffnete ihr die Augen, dass sie einen Wasserquell sah. Da ging sie hin, füllte den Schlauch mit Wasser und gab dem Knaben zu trinken.

20Und Gott war mit dem Knaben: er wuchs auf und wohnte in der Wüste und ward ein Bogenschütze.

21Er wohnte in der Wüste Paran, und seine Mutter nahm ihm ein Weib aus dem Lande Ägypten.

22ZU derselben Zeit sprachen Abimelech und sein Feldhauptmann Pichol zu Abraham: Gott ist mit dir in allem, was du tust.

23So schwöre mir nun bei Gott, dass du weder an mir noch an meinen Kindern und Kindeskindern treulos handeln willst; sondern die Freundschaft, die ich dir erwiesen habe, sollst du auch mir erweisen und dem Lande, darin du als Fremdling weilst.

24Da sprach Abraham: Ich schwöre.

25Abraham aber stellte den Abimelech zur Rede wegen des Wasserquells, den Abimelechs Knechte mit Gewalt genommen hatten.

26Abimelech entgegnete: Ich weiss nicht, wer das getan hat; du hast mir nichts davon gesagt, und ich habe auch bis heute nichts davon gehört.

27Da nahm Abraham Schafe und Rinder und gab sie Abimelech, und sie schlossen miteinander einen Bund.

28Als nun Abraham sieben Lämmer beiseite stellte,

29fragte Abimelech den Abraham: Was sollen diese sieben Lämmer hier, die du beiseite gestellt hast?

30Er antwortete: Die sieben Lämmer musst du von mir annehmen, damit sie mir als Zeugnis dienen, dass ich diesen Brunnen gegraben habe.

31Daher nannte man den Ort "Beer-Seba", weil sie einander dort geschworen haben. (1) d.i. Schwurbrunnen.

32So schlossen sie einen Bund zu Beerseba. Dann machte sich Abimelech mit seinem Feldhauptmann Pichol auf, und sie kehrten ins Philisterland zurück.

33Abraham aber pflanzte in Beerseba eine Tamariske und rief daselbst den Namen des Herrn an, des ewigen Gottes.

34Und er weilte noch lange Zeit als Fremdling im Philisterland.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y VISITÓ Jehová á Sara, como había dicho, é hizo Jehová con Sara como había hablado.

2Y concibió y parió Sara á Abraham un hijo en su vejez, en el tiempo que Dios le había dicho.

3Y llamó Abraham el nombre de su hijo que le nació, que le parió Sara, Isaac.

4Y circuncidó Abraham á su hijo Isaac de ocho días, como Dios le había mandado.

5Y era Abraham de cien años, cuando le nació Isaac su hijo.

6Entonces dijo Sara: Dios me ha hecho reir, y cualquiera que lo oyere, se reirá conmigo.

7Y añadió: ¿Quién dijera á Abraham que Sara había de dar de mamar á hijos? pues que le he parido un hijo á su vejez.

8Y creció el niño, y fué destetado; é hizo Abraham gran banquete el día que fué destetado Isaac.

9Y vió Sara al hijo de Agar la Egipcia, el cual había ésta parido á Abraham, que se burlaba.

10Por tanto dijo á Abraham: Echa á esta sierva y á su hijo; que el hijo de esta sierva no ha de heredar con mi hijo, con Isaac.

11Este dicho pareció grave en gran manera á Abraham á causa de su hijo.

12Entonces dijo Dios á Abraham: No te parezca grave á causa del muchacho y de tu sierva; en todo lo que te dijere Sara, oye su voz, porque en Isaac te será llamada descendencia.

13Y también al hijo de la sierva pondré en gente, porque es tu simiente.

14Entonces Abraham se levantó muy de mañana, y tomó pan, y un odre de agua, y diólo á Agar, poniéndolo sobre su hombro, y entrególe el muchacho, y despidióla. Y ella partió, y andaba errante por el desierto de Beer-seba.

15Y faltó el agua del odre, y echó al muchacho debajo de un árbol;

16Y fuése y sentóse enfrente, alejándose como un tiro de arco; porque decía: No veré cuando el muchacho morirá: y sentóse enfrente, y alzó su voz y lloró.

17Y oyó Dios la voz del muchacho; y el ángel de Dios llamó á Agar desde el cielo, y le dijo: ¿Qué tienes, Agar? No temas; porque Dios ha oído la voz del muchacho en donde está.

18Levántate, alza al muchacho, y ásele de tu mano, porque en gran gente lo tengo de poner.

19Entonces abrió Dios sus ojos, y vió una fuente de agua; y fué, y llenó el odre de agua, y dió de beber al muchacho.

20Y fué Dios con el muchacho; y creció, y habitó en el desierto, y fué tirador de arco.

21Y habitó en el desierto de Parán; y su madre le tomó mujer de la tierra de Egipto.

22Y aconteció en aquel mismo tiempo que habló Abimelech, y Phicol, príncipe de su ejército, á Abraham diciendo: Dios es contigo en todo cuanto haces:

23Ahora pues, júrame aquí por Dios, que no faltarás á mí, ni á mi hijo, ni á mi nieto; sino que conforme á la bondad que yo hice contigo, harás tú conmigo, y con la tierra donde has peregrinado.

24Y respondió Abraham: Yo juraré.

25Y Abraham reconvino á Abimelech á causa de un pozo de agua, que los siervos de Abimelech le habían quitado.

26Y respondió Abimelech: No sé quién haya hecho esto, ni tampoco tú me lo hiciste saber, ni yo lo he oído hasta hoy.

27Y tomó Abraham ovejas y vacas, y dió á Abimelech; é hicieron ambos alianza.

28Y puso Abraham siete corderas del rebaño aparte.

29Y dijo Abimelech á Abraham: ¿Qué significan esas siete corderas que has puesto aparte?

30Y él respondió: Que estas siete corderas tomarás de mi mano, para que me sean en testimonio de que yo cavé este pozo.

31Por esto llamó á aquel lugar Beer-seba; porque allí juraron ambos.

32Así hicieron alianza en Beer-seba: y levantóse Abimelech, y Phicol, príncipe de su ejército, y se volvieron á tierra de los Filisteos.

33Y plantó Abraham un bosque en Beer-seba, é invocó allí el nombre de Jehová Dios eterno.

34Y moró Abraham en tierra de los Filisteos muchos días.

King James Version

1And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

2For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

3And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

4And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

5And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

6And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

7And 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.

8And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

9And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.

10Wherefore 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.

11And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.

12And 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.

13And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

14And 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.

15And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

16And 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.

17And 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.

18Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

19And 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.

20And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

21And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

22And 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:

23Now 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.

24And Abraham said, I will swear.

25And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

26And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.

27And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.

28And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

29And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?

30And 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.

31Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.

32Thus 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.

33And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

34And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.

World English Bible

1The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.

2Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

3Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.

4Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

5Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.

6Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

7She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”

8The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

9Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

10Therefore 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.”

11The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.

12God 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.

13I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”

14Abraham 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.

15The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.

16She 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.

17God 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.

18Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”

19God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.

20God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.

21He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

22At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.

23Now, 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.”

24Abraham said, “I will swear.”

25Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

26Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”

27Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.

28Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

29Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”

30He 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.”

31Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.

32So 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.

33Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.

34Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
