The Birth of Isaac
21 Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah(A) as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised.(B) 2 Sarah became pregnant and bore a son(C) to Abraham in his old age,(D) at the very time God had promised him.(E) 3 Abraham gave the name Isaac[a](F) to the son Sarah bore him. 4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him,(G) as God commanded him. 5 Abraham was a hundred years old(H) when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter,(I) and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” 7 And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”(J)
Hagar and Ishmael Sent Away
8 The child grew and was weaned,(K) and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast. 9 But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham(L) was mocking,(M) 10 and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman(N) and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.”(O)
11 The matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son.(P) 12 But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring[b] will be reckoned.(Q) 13 I will make the son of the slave into a nation(R) also, because he is your offspring.”
14 Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar.(S) He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba.(T)
15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she[c] began to sob.(U)
17 God heard the boy crying,(V) and the angel of God(W) called to Hagar from heaven(X) and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid;(Y) God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. 18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.(Z)”
19 Then God opened her eyes(AA) and she saw a well of water.(AB) So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
20 God was with the boy(AC) as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became an archer. 21 While he was living in the Desert of Paran,(AD) his mother got a wife for him(AE) from Egypt.
The Treaty at Beersheba
22 At that time Abimelek(AF) and Phicol the commander of his forces(AG) said to Abraham, “God is with you in everything you do.(AH) 23 Now swear(AI) to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or my descendants.(AJ) Show to me and the country where you now reside as a foreigner the same kindness I have shown to you.”(AK)
24 Abraham said, “I swear it.”
25 Then Abraham complained to Abimelek about a well of water that Abimelek’s servants had seized.(AL) 26 But Abimelek said, “I don’t know who has done this. You did not tell me, and I heard about it only today.”
27 So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelek, and the two men made a treaty.(AM) 28 Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs from the flock, 29 and Abimelek asked Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs you have set apart by themselves?”
30 He replied, “Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness(AN) that I dug this well.(AO)”
31 So that place was called Beersheba,[d](AP) because the two men swore an oath(AQ) there.
32 After the treaty(AR) had been made at Beersheba,(AS) Abimelek and Phicol the commander of his forces(AT) returned to the land of the Philistines.(AU) 33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree(AV) in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the Lord,(AW) the Eternal God.(AX) 34 And Abraham stayed in the land of the Philistines(AY) for a long time.

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.

21 Y VISITÓ Jehová á Sara, como había dicho, e hizo Jehová con Sara como había hablado.
2 Y concibió y parió Sara á Abraham un hijo en su vejez, en el tiempo que Dios le había dicho.
3 Y llamó Abraham el nombre de su hijo que le nació, que le parió Sara, Isaac.
4 Y circuncidó Abraham á su hijo Isaac de ocho días, como Dios le había mandado.
5 Y era Abraham de cien años, cuando le nació Isaac su hijo.
6 Entonces dijo Sara: Dios me ha hecho reir, y cualquiera que lo oyere, se reirá conmigo.
7 Y añadió: ¿Quién dijera á Abraham que Sara había de dar de mamar á hijos? pues que le he parido un hijo á su vejez.
8 Y creció el niño, y fué destetado; e hizo Abraham gran banquete el día que fué destetado Isaac.
9 Y vió Sara al hijo de Agar la Egipcia, el cual había ésta parido á Abraham, que se burlaba.
10 Por 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.
11 Este dicho pareció grave en gran manera á Abraham á causa de su hijo.
12 Entonces 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.
13 Y también al hijo de la sierva pondré en gente, porque es tu simiente.
14 Entonces 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.
15 Y faltó el agua del odre, y echó al muchacho debajo de un árbol;
16 Y 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.
17 Y 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.
18 Levántate, alza al muchacho, y ásele de tu mano, porque en gran gente lo tengo de poner.
19 Entonces abrió Dios sus ojos, y vió una fuente de agua; y fué, y llenó el odre de agua, y dió de beber al muchacho.
20 Y fué Dios con el muchacho; y creció, y habitó en el desierto, y fué tirador de arco.
21 Y habitó en el desierto de Parán; y su madre le tomó mujer de la tierra de Egipto.
22 Y aconteció en aquel mismo tiempo que habló Abimelech, y Phicol, príncipe de su ejército, á Abraham diciendo: Dios es contigo en todo cuanto haces:
23 Ahora 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.
24 Y respondió Abraham: Yo juraré.
25 Y Abraham reconvino á Abimelech á causa de un pozo de agua, que los siervos de Abimelech le habían quitado.
26 Y respondió Abimelech: No sé quién haya hecho esto, ni tampoco tú me lo hiciste saber, ni yo lo he oído hasta hoy.
27 Y tomó Abraham ovejas y vacas, y dió á Abimelech; e hicieron ambos alianza.
28 Y puso Abraham siete corderas del rebaño aparte.
29 Y dijo Abimelech á Abraham: ¿Qué significan esas siete corderas que has puesto aparte?
30 Y él respondió: Que estas siete corderas tomarás de mi mano, para que me sean en testimonio de que yo cavé este pozo.
31 Por esto llamó á aquel lugar Beer-seba; porque allí juraron ambos.
32 Así hicieron alianza en Beer-seba: y levantóse Abimelech y Phicol, príncipe de su ejército, y se volvieron á tierra de los Filisteos.
33 Y plantó Abraham un bosque en Beer-seba, e invocó allí el nombre de Jehová Dios eterno.
34 Y moró Abraham en tierra de los Filisteos muchos días.

Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Izakovo rođenje
21 BOG je blagoslovio Saru, kao što je rekao, i učinio za nju ono što je obećao. 2 Sara je zatrudnjela i rodila Abrahamu sina u njegovoj starosti, točno u vrijeme koje je nagovijestio Bog. 3 Sinu, kojeg mu je Sara rodila, Abraham je dao ime Izak[a]. 4 Kad je Izak imao osam dana, Abraham ga je obrezao kao što mu je Bog bio zapovjedio.
5 Abraham je imao sto godina kad mu se rodio njegov sin Izak. 6 Sara je rekla: »Bog mi je dao da se nasmijem, i svi koji za ovo čuju, smijat će se sa mnom. 7 Tko je mogao reći Abrahamu da ću ja dojiti djecu? A ipak sam mu rodila sina u njegovoj starosti.« 8 Dijete je raslo i prestalo dojiti. Onoga dana kad je Izak prestao dojiti, Abraham je priredio veliku gozbu.
Hagara i Išmael otjerani
9 Sara je vidjela kako se podsmjehuje sin kojeg je Abrahamu rodila Egipćanka Hagara. 10 Stoga je rekla Abrahamu: »Otjeraj ovu ropkinju i njezinog sina jer sin ropkinje neće biti nasljednik s mojim sinom Izakom.«
11 Abraham se jako uznemirio jer se radilo o njegovom sinu Išmaelu. 12 No Bog mu je rekao: »Nemoj se uznemiravati zbog dječaka i svoje ropkinje. Poslušaj sve što ti Sara kaže jer će se tvoje potomstvo računati po Izaku. 13 I od sina ropkinje načinit ću narod jer je i on tvoj potomak.«
14 Abraham je ustao rano ujutro, dao Hagari kruh i spremnik[b] s vodom te joj sve natovario na leđa. Zatim ju je otpremio zajedno s dječakom. Otišla je pa je lutala po pustinji Beer Šebi. 15 Kad je u spremniku nestalo vode, stavila je dijete pod jedan grm, 16 a ona je otišla i sjela podalje, otprilike koliko lûk može dobaciti strijelu, jer je mislila: »Ne mogu gledati kako dijete umire.« I dok je tako sjedila, glasno je zaplakala.
17 Bog je čuo dječakov plač pa je Božji anđeo pozvao Hagaru s neba i rekao: »Što je, Hagaro? Ne boj se. Bog je čuo kako dječak ondje plače. 18 Ustani, podigni dječaka i utješi ga jer ću od njega načiniti velik narod.« 19 Tada joj je Bog otvorio oči i vidjela je bunar s vodom. Otišla je do bunara, napunila spremnik i dala dječaku piti.
20 Bog je bio s dječakom dok je rastao u pustinji. Postao je vrstan u rukovanju lûkom i strijelom. 21 Živio je u pustinji Paran te mu je majka iz Egipta dovela ženu.
Abraham sklapa savez s Abimelekom
22 U to je vrijeme kralj Abimelek, u pratnji Fikola, zapovjednika svoje vojske, došao k Abrahamu. Rekao mu je: »Bog je s tobom u svemu što činiš. 23 Zato mi se ovdje zakuni Bogom da nećeš izdati ni mene, ni moju djecu, ni moje potomke, nego da ćeš meni i ovoj zemlji, u kojoj boraviš kao stranac, biti odan kao što sam ja odan tebi.« 24 »Zaklinjem se«, rekao je Abraham.
25 Zatim se Abraham požalio Abimeleku zbog bunara s vodom koji su silom prisvojili njegovi sluge. 26 Abimelek je rekao: »Ne znam tko je to učinio. Nisi mi o tome govorio pa tek danas čujem za to.«
27 Abraham je uzeo sitnu i krupnu stoku te je dao Abimeleku, a njih su dvojica sklopila savez. 28 Zatim je Abraham odvojio sedmero ženske janjadi iz stada, 29 a Abimelek ga upita: »Što znači ovo sedmero ženske janjadi koje si odvojio na stranu?« 30 On mu odgovori: »Primi od mene ovo sedmero ženske janjadi kao svjedočanstvo da sam ja iskopao ovaj bunar.«
31 Tako je ono mjesto dobilo ime Beer Šeba[c] jer su ondje njih dvojica položila zakletvu jedan drugome. 32 Tako su sklopili savez kod Beer Šebe. Potom su se Abimelek i Fikol, zapovjednik njegove vojske, vratili u zemlju Filistejaca. 33 Abraham je posadio stablo tamariska[d] u Beer Šebi i ondje je štovao[e] Vječnog BOGA.
34 Abraham je još dugo boravio u zemlji Filistejaca.
