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.

Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия для Таджикистана
Рождение Исхока
21 Вечный, как Он и сказал, был милостив к Соро и выполнил Своё обещание: 2 Соро забеременела и родила Иброхиму сына, когда тот уже состарился, в то самое время, как обещал ему Всевышний. 3 Иброхим дал своему новорождённому сыну, которого родила ему Соро, имя Исхок. 4 Когда его сыну Исхоку исполнилось восемь дней, Иброхим обрезал его, как велел ему Всевышний. 5 Иброхиму было сто лет, когда у него родился сын Исхок.
6 Соро сказала:
– Всевышний заставил меня смеяться; каждый, кто услышит об этом, рассмеётся вместе со мной,[a] – 7 и добавила: – Кто бы сказал Иброхиму, что Соро будет кормить грудью? Но я родила ему сына в его старости.
8 Ребёнок вырос и был отнят от груди. В тот день, когда Исхок был отнят от груди, Иброхим устроил большой пир.
Изгнание Ажар и Исмоила, сына Иброхима
9 Соро увидела, что сын, которого египтянка Ажар родила Иброхиму, насмехается над Исхоком, 10 и сказала Иброхиму:
– Прогони эту рабыню и её сына, потому что сын этой рабыни не разделит наследства с моим сыном Исхоком.
11 Иброхим был сильно огорчён, потому что это был его сын. 12 Но Всевышний сказал ему:
– Не огорчайся из-за мальчика и рабыни. Послушайся Соро и сделай всё, как она говорит, потому что через Исхока ты будешь иметь обещанное потомство[b]. 13 Но Я произведу народ и от сына рабыни, потому что и он – твой потомок.
14 На другой день рано утром Иброхим взял еды и бурдюк с водой и дал Ажар: положил их ей на плечи и отослал её прочь вместе с ребёнком. Она отправилась в путь и блуждала в пустыне Беэр-Шева. 15 Когда вода в бурдюке кончилась, она оставила мальчика под кустом 16 и, отойдя, села неподалёку, на расстоянии выстрела из лука, потому что думала: «Не стану смотреть, как мальчик умирает». И сидя там поблизости, она разрыдалась.
17 Всевышний услышал плач мальчика, и Ангел Всевышнего обратился к Ажар с небес и сказал ей:
– Что с тобой, Ажар? Не бойся: Всевышний услышал, как плачет мальчик там, где он лежит. 18 Вставай, подними мальчика и возьми его за руку, потому что Я произведу от него великий народ.
19 Тут Всевышний открыл ей глаза, и она увидела колодец с водой. Она пошла, наполнила бурдюк водой и напоила мальчика.
20 Всевышний был с мальчиком. Исмоил вырос, поселился в пустыне и стал стрелком из лука. 21 Он жил в пустыне Паран, и мать взяла для него жену из Египта.
Договор между Иброхимом и Абималиком
22 В то время Абималик, пришедший в сопровождении Фихола, начальника его войска, сказал Иброхиму:
– Всевышний с тобой во всём, что ты делаешь. 23 Поклянись же мне здесь перед Всевышним, что ты не поступишь вероломно ни со мной, ни с моими детьми, ни с моим потомством. Окажи мне и стране, в которой ты живёшь как пришелец, ту же милость, какую я оказал тебе.
24 Иброхим сказал:
– Клянусь.
25 Потом Иброхим упрекнул Абималика за колодец с водой, который захватили слуги Абималика. 26 Но Абималик сказал:
– Я не знаю, кто это сделал. Ты не говорил мне, и до сего дня я не слышал об этом.
27 Иброхим привёл мелкий и крупный скот и дал Абималику, и они заключили союз. 28 Иброхим отделил из стада семь молодых овец, 29 и Абималик спросил Иброхима:
– Что означают эти семь молодых овец, которых ты отделил особо?
30 Он ответил:
– Прими от меня семь этих молодых овец как свидетельство того, что я выкопал этот колодец, и он мой.
31 Вот почему то место было названо Беэр-Шева («колодец семи, колодец клятвы»): ведь они оба дали там клятву.
32 Заключив договор в Беэр-Шеве, Абималик и Фихол, начальник его войска, вернулись на землю филистимлян. 33 Иброхим посадил в Беэр-Шеве тамариск и призвал там имя Вечного, Кто есть Бог навеки. 34 Иброхим жил на земле филистимлян долгое время.
