创世记 21
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以撒出生
21 耶和华按着自己说过的话眷顾撒拉，实现给她的应许。 2 亚伯拉罕年老的时候，撒拉怀了孕，在上帝指定的日期为他生了一个儿子。 3 亚伯拉罕为儿子取名叫以撒。 4 以撒出生后第八天，亚伯拉罕就照着上帝的吩咐为他行了割礼。 5 以撒出生时亚伯拉罕已经一百岁。 6 撒拉说：“上帝使我欢笑，凡听见这事的人也必跟我一同欢笑。 7 谁曾料到我会为亚伯拉罕哺养孩子呢？我竟然在丈夫年老的时候给他生了儿子。”
夏甲和以实玛利被逐
8 以撒渐渐长大，亚伯拉罕在他断奶的那天摆设宴席。 9 撒拉见埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕生的儿子以实玛利嘲笑以撒， 10 就对亚伯拉罕说：“赶走这婢女和她的儿子，因为这婢女的儿子不可和我的儿子以撒一同承受产业。” 11 亚伯拉罕因儿子以实玛利的事非常烦恼。 12 上帝对亚伯拉罕说：“你不要再为这孩子和你的婢女烦恼，只管照撒拉的意思去做，因为以撒生的才可算为你的后代。 13 至于那婢女的儿子以实玛利，我也会使他自成一国，因为他也是你的儿子。”
14 第二天，亚伯拉罕清早起来，把食物和一皮袋水放在夏甲肩上，让她和孩子离开。夏甲在别示巴的旷野流浪。 15 皮袋的水喝光了，夏甲把儿子留在一丛灌木下， 16 自己走到离孩子约一箭之远的地方，对着孩子坐下，说：“我不忍心看着他死啊！”夏甲坐在那里放声大哭起来。 17 上帝听见孩子的哭声，就差遣天使从天上安慰夏甲说：“夏甲，你怎么了？不要害怕，上帝已经听见孩子的哭声了。 18 你去扶他起来，安慰他，我必使他成为大国。” 19 上帝使夏甲的眼睛明亮，让她看见一口水井，她就上前把皮袋装满水拿给儿子喝。 20 在上帝的看顾下，孩子在旷野渐渐长大，成为一个射箭能手。 21 他住在巴兰旷野，他母亲为他娶了一个埃及女子。
亚伯拉罕与亚比米勒立约
22 有一次，亚比米勒和他的将领非各对亚伯拉罕说：“你做的一切都有上帝保佑。 23 现在请你在这里当着上帝的面向我起誓，你不会欺骗我和我的子孙后代。我怎样善待你，请你也同样善待我以及你所寄居之地的百姓。” 24 亚伯拉罕说：“我愿起誓。”
25 由于亚比米勒的仆人霸占了一口水井，亚伯拉罕就指责亚比米勒。 26 亚比米勒说：“我不知道是谁做的，你以前没有告诉我，我今天才听说这事。” 27 亚伯拉罕把牛羊送给亚比米勒，他们二人立了约。 28 亚伯拉罕又从羊群中分出七只母羊羔。 29 亚比米勒问亚伯拉罕：“你分出七只母羊羔是什么意思？” 30 亚伯拉罕回答说：“你要从我手中接受这七只母羊羔，表示你承认这口井是我挖的。” 31 所以，那地方被称为别示巴[a]，因为他们二人在那里起了誓。
32 他们立约以后，亚比米勒和他的将领非各便回非利士去了。 33 亚伯拉罕在别示巴栽了一棵红柳，又在那里呼求耶和华——永恒上帝的名。 34 亚伯拉罕在非利士住了很长时间。

Genesis 21
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Birth of Isaac
21 The Lord came to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised.(A) 2 Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time God had told him.(B) 3 Abraham named his son who was born to him – the one Sarah bore to him – Isaac.(C) 4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.(D) 5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.(E)
6 Sarah said, ‘God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears will laugh with me.’[a](F) 7 She also said, ‘Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne a son for him[b] in his old age.’
Hagar and Ishmael Sent Away
8 The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned. 9 But Sarah saw the son mocking – the one Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham.(G) 10 So she said to Abraham, ‘Drive out this slave with her son, for the son of this slave will not be a coheir with my son Isaac! ’(H)
11 This was very distressing to[c] Abraham because of his son. 12 But God said to Abraham, ‘Do not be distressed[d] about the boy and about your slave. Whatever Sarah says to you, listen to her, because your offspring will be traced through Isaac,(I) 13 and I will also make a nation of the slave’s son(J) because he is your offspring.’
14 Early in the morning Abraham got up, took bread and a waterskin, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beer-sheba. 15 When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes 16 and went and sat at a distance, about a bow shot away, for she said, ‘I can’t bear to watch the boy die! ’ While she sat at a distance, she[e] wept loudly.(K)
17 God heard the boy crying, and the[f] angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, ‘What’s wrong, Hagar? Don’t be afraid, for God has heard the boy crying from the place where he is. 18 Get up, help the boy up, and grasp his hand, for I will make him a great nation.’ 19 Then God opened her eyes,(L) and she saw a well. So she went and filled the waterskin and gave the boy a drink. 20 God was with the boy, and he grew; he settled in the wilderness and became an archer. 21 He settled in the Wilderness of Paran, and his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Abraham’s Covenant with Abimelech
22 At that time Abimelech, accompanied by Phicol the commander of his army,(M) said to Abraham, ‘God is with you in everything you do.(N) 23 Swear to me by God here and now, that you will not break an agreement with me or with my children and descendants. As I have been loyal to you, so you will be loyal to me and to the country where you are a resident foreigner.’
24 And Abraham said, ‘I swear it.’ 25 But Abraham complained to Abimelech because of the well that Abimelech’s servants had seized.(O)
26 Abimelech replied, ‘I don’t know who did this thing. You didn’t report anything to me, so I hadn’t heard about it until today.’
27 Abraham took flocks and herds and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.(P) 28 Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock. 29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, ‘Why have you separated these seven ewe lambs? ’
30 He replied, ‘You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from me so that this act[g] will serve as my witness that I dug this well.’ 31 Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba[h](Q) because it was there that the two of them swore an oath. 32 After they had made a covenant at Beer-sheba, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, left and returned to the land of the Philistines.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and there he called on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God.(R) 34 And Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines for many days.
Genesis 21
King James Version
21 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
7 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.
8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
10 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.
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
12 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.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14 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 Beersheba.
15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: 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.
17 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.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
19 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.
20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and 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 chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
23 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.
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
26 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.
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
30 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.
31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
