21 At dumalaw ang Panginoon kay Sara, ayon sa sinabi niya, at ginawa ng Panginoon kay Sara ang ayon sa kaniyang sinalita.

At si Sara ay naglihi at nagkaanak ng isang lalake kay Abraham sa kaniyang katandaan, sa tadhanang panahong sinabi ng Dios sa kaniya.

At tinawag na Isaac ni Abraham ang ngalan ng kaniyang anak na ipinanganak sa kaniya, na siyang ipinanganak ni Sara.

At tinuli ni Abraham si Isaac ng magkaroon ng walong araw gaya ng iniutos ng Dios sa kaniya.

At si Abraham ay may isang daang taon, nang sa kaniya'y ipanganak si Isaac na kaniyang anak.

At sinabi ni Sara, Pinatawa ako ng Dios, sinomang makarinig ay makikitawa.

At sinabi niya, Sinong nakapagsabi kay Abraham na si Sara ay magpapasuso ng anak? sapagka't ako'y nagkaanak sa kaniya ng isang lalake sa kaniyang katandaan.

At lumaki ang sanggol, at inihiwalay sa suso; at nagpiging ng malaki si Abraham ng araw na ihiwalay sa suso si Isaac.

At nakita ni Sara ang anak ni Agar na taga Egipto, na ito'y nagkaanak kay Abraham, na tumutuya sa kaniya.

10 Kaya't sinabi niya kay Abraham, Palayasin mo ang aliping ito at ang kaniyang anak: sapagka't hindi magmamana ang anak ng aliping ito na kahati ng aking anak, sa makatuwid baga'y ni Isaac.

11 At ang bagay na ito ay naging lubhang mabigat sa paningin ni Abraham dahil sa kaniyang anak.

12 At sinabi ng Dios kay Abraham, Huwag mong mabigatin ito sa iyong paningin dahil sa iyong alipin; sa lahat na sabihin sa iyo ni Sara, ay makinig ka sa kaniyang tinig, sapagka't kay Isaac tatawagin ang iyong lahi.

13 At ang anak din naman ng alipin ay gagawin kong isang bansa, sapagka't siya'y anak mo.

14 At nagbangong maaga sa kinaumagahan si Abraham, at kumuha ng tinapay at ng isang bangang balat ng tubig, at ibinigay kay Agar, na ipinatong sa kaniyang balikat, at ang bata at siya ay pinapagpaalam, at siya'y nagpaalam at naggala sa ilang ng Beerseba.

15 At naubos ang tubig sa bangang balat, at kaniyang inilapag ang bata sa ilalim ng isa sa mabababang punong kahoy.

16 At yumaon at naupo sa tapat niya, na ang layo ay isang hilagpos ng pana; sapagka't sinabi niya, Huwag kong makita ang kamatayan ng bata. At naupo sa tapat, at naghihiyaw at umiyak.

17 At narinig ng Dios ang tinig ng bata; at tinawag ng anghel ng Dios si Agar, mula sa langit, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Naano ka Agar? Huwag kang matakot; sapagka't narinig ng Dios ang tinig ng bata sa kinalalagyan.

18 Magtindig ka, iyong itayo ang bata, at alalayan mo siya ng iyong kamay; sapagka't siya'y gagawin kong isang bansang malaki.

19 At idinilat ng Dios ang kaniyang mga mata, at siya'y nakakita ng isang balon ng tubig: at naparoon at pinuno ng tubig ang bangang balat, at pinainom ang bata.

20 At ang Dios ay sumabata, at siya'y lumaki; at tumahan sa ilang at naging mamamana.

21 At nanahan siya sa ilang ng Paran: at ikinuha siya ng kaniyang ina ng asawa sa lupain ng Egipto.

22 At nangyari ng panahong yaon, na si Abimelech, at si Ficol na kapitan ng kaniyang hukbo ay nagsalita kay Abraham, na nagsasabi, Sumasaiyo ang Dios sa lahat mong ginagawa:

23 Ngayon nga'y ipanumpa mo sa akin dito alangalang sa Dios, na di ka maglililo sa akin, kahit sa aking anak, kahit sa anak ng aking anak; kundi ayon sa kagandahang loob na ipinakita ko sa iyo, ay gayon ang gagawin mo sa akin, at sa lupaing iyong pinakipamayanan.

24 At sinabi ni Abraham, Susumpa ako.

25 At pinagwikaan ni Abraham si Abimelech dahil sa isang balon ng tubig, na marahas na inalis sa kaniya ng mga bataan ni Abimelech.

26 At sinabi ni Abimelech, Aywan, kung sinong gumawa ng bagay na ito: na di mo man sinabi sa akin, at hindi ko man nabalitaan kundi ngayon.

27 At kumuha si Abraham ng mga tupa, at mga baka, at ibinigay kay Abimelech; at gumawa silang dalawa ng isang tipan.

28 At ibinukod ni Abraham ang pitong korderong babae sa kawan.

29 At sinabi ni Abimelech kay Abraham, Anong kahulugan nitong pitong korderong babae na iyong ibinukod?

30 At kaniyang sinabi, Itong pitong korderong babae ay iyong kukunin sa aking kamay, upang sa akin ay maging patotoo na hinukay ko ang balong ito.

31 Kaya't tinawag niya ang dakong yaong Beerseba; sapagka't doon sila kapuwa nanumpa.

32 Sa gayo'y gumawa sila ng isang tipan sa Beerseba: at nagtindig si Abimelech, at si Ficol na kapitan ng kaniyang hukbo at nagsipagbalik sa lupain ng mga Filisteo.

33 At nagtanim si Abraham ng isang punong kahoy na tamaring sa Beerseba, at sinambitla doon ang pangalan ng Panginoong Dios na walang hanggan.

34 At maraming araw na nakipamayan si Abraham sa lupain ng mga Filisteo.

Isaac Is Born(A)

21 And the Lord (B)visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah (C)as He had spoken. For Sarah (D)conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, (E)at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him—whom Sarah bore to him—(F)Isaac.[a] Then Abraham (G)circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, (H)as God had commanded him. Now (I)Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. And Sarah said, (J)“God has [b]made me laugh, and all who hear (K)will laugh with me.” She also said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? (L)For I have borne him a son in his old age.”

Hagar and Ishmael Depart(M)

So the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned.

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar (N)the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, (O)scoffing.[c] 10 Therefore she said to Abraham, (P)“Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac.” 11 And the matter was very [d]displeasing in Abraham’s sight (Q)because of his son.

12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for (R)in Isaac your seed shall be called. 13 Yet I will also make (S)a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your [e]seed.”

14 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and [f]a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and (T)sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba. 15 And the water in the skin was used up, and she placed the boy under one of the shrubs. 16 Then she went and sat down across from him at a distance of about a bowshot; for she said to herself, “Let me not see the death of the boy.” So she sat opposite him, and lifted her voice and wept.

17 And (U)God heard the voice of the lad. Then the (V)angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. 18 Arise, lift up the lad and hold him with your hand, for (W)I will make him a great nation.”

19 Then (X)God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink. 20 So God (Y)was with the lad; and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, (Z)and became an archer. 21 He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his mother (AA)took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

A Covenant with Abimelech

22 And it came to pass at that time that (AB)Abimelech and Phichol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, (AC)“God is with you in all that you do. 23 Now therefore, (AD)swear[g] to me by God that you will not deal falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my posterity; but that according to the kindness that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land in which you have dwelt.”

24 And Abraham said, “I will swear.”

25 Then Abraham rebuked Abimelech because of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants (AE)had seized. 26 And Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor had I heard of it until today.” 27 So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them (AF)made a [h]covenant. 28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

29 Then Abimelech asked Abraham, (AG)“What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?”

30 And he said, “You will take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that (AH)they may be my witness that I have dug this well.” 31 Therefore he (AI)called that place [i]Beersheba, because the two of them swore an oath there.

32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba. So Abimelech rose with Phichol, the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines. 33 Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and (AJ)there called on the name of the Lord, (AK)the Everlasting God. 34 And Abraham stayed in the land of the Philistines many days.

Nacimiento de Isaac

21 El SEÑOR favoreció a Sara, como había dicho. El SEÑOR hizo con Sara como había prometido, y ella concibió y dio a luz un hijo a Abraham en su vejez, en el tiempo que Dios le había indicado. Abraham llamó el nombre de su hijo que le había nacido, y que Sara le había dado a luz, Isaac. Y circuncidó Abraham a su hijo Isaac al octavo día, como Dios le había mandado. Abraham tenía cien años cuando le nació su hijo Isaac. Entonces Sara dijo:

—Dios me ha hecho reír, y cualquiera que lo oiga se reirá conmigo. —Y añadió: ¿Quién le hubiera dicho a Abraham que Sara daría de mamar a hijos? Pues yo le he dado un hijo en su vejez.

El niño creció y fue destetado. Y Abraham hizo un gran banquete el día que Isaac fue destetado.

Abraham despide a Agar e Ismael

Sara vio al hijo de Agar la egipcia, que esta le había dado a luz a Abraham, que se burlaba. 10 Por eso dijo a Abraham:

—Echa a esta sierva y a su hijo, pues el hijo de esta sierva no ha de heredar junto con mi hijo, con Isaac.

11 Estas palabras preocuparon muchísimo a Abraham, por causa de su hijo. 12 Entonces Dios dijo a Abraham:

—No te parezca mal lo referente al muchacho ni lo referente a tu sierva. En todo lo que te diga Sara, hazle caso, porque a través de Isaac será contada tu descendencia. 13 Pero también del hijo de la sierva haré una nación, porque es un descendiente tuyo.

14 Abraham se levantó muy de mañana, tomó pan y un odre de agua, y se lo dio a Agar, poniéndolo sobre el hombro de ella. Luego le entregó el muchacho y la despidió.

Ella partió y caminó errante por el desierto de Beerseba. 15 Y cuando se acabó el agua del odre, hizo recostar al muchacho debajo de un arbusto. 16 Luego fue y se sentó enfrente, alejándose cierta distancia, porque pensó: “No quiero ver morir al muchacho”. Ella se sentó enfrente, y alzando su voz lloró. 17 Entonces Dios escuchó la voz del muchacho, y el ángel de Dios llamó a Agar desde el cielo y le dijo:

—¿Qué tienes, Agar? No temas, porque Dios ha oído la voz del muchacho, allí donde está. 18 Levántate, alza al muchacho y tómalo de la mano, porque de él haré una gran nación.

19 Entonces Dios abrió los ojos de ella, y vio un pozo de agua. Ella fue, llenó el odre de agua y dio de beber al muchacho. 20 Dios estaba con el muchacho, el cual creció y habitó en el desierto, y llegó a ser un tirador de arco. 21 Habitó en el desierto de Parán, y su madre tomó para él una mujer de la tierra de Egipto.

Alianza de Abraham y Abimelec

22 Aconteció en aquel tiempo que Abimelec junto con Ficol, jefe de su ejército, habló a Abraham diciendo:

—Dios está contigo en todo lo que haces. 23 Ahora pues, júrame aquí por Dios que no me engañarás ni a mí ni a mis hijos ni a mis nietos; sino que conforme a la bondad que yo he hecho contigo tú harás conmigo y con la tierra en la que vienes residiendo.

24 Abraham respondió:

—Sí, lo juro.

25 Entonces Abraham se quejó a Abimelec acerca de un pozo de agua que los siervos de Abimelec le habían quitado. 26 Abimelec respondió:

—No sé quién haya hecho esto. Tú no me lo hiciste saber ni yo lo había oído hasta ahora.

27 Entonces Abraham tomó ovejas y vacas, y se las dio a Abimelec; e hicieron ambos una alianza. 28 Luego Abraham apartó del rebaño siete corderas. 29 Y Abimelec preguntó a Abraham:

—¿Qué significan estas siete corderas que has puesto aparte?

30 Y él respondió:

—Toma estas siete corderas de mi mano para que me sirvan de testimonio de que yo cavé este pozo.

31 Por eso él llamó a aquel lugar Beerseba[a], porque allí juraron ambos. 32 Así hicieron una alianza en Beerseba. Luego se levantaron Abimelec y Ficol, jefe de su ejército, y regresaron a la tierra de los filisteos.

33 Abraham plantó un árbol de tamarisco en Beerseba e invocó allí el nombre del SEÑOR, el Dios eterno. 34 Y residió Abraham en la tierra de los filisteos por mucho tiempo.

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) Sarah became pregnant and bore a son(C) to Abraham in his old age,(D) at the very time God had promised him.(E) Abraham gave the name Isaac[a](F) to the son Sarah bore him. When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him,(G) as God commanded him. Abraham was a hundred years old(H) when his son Isaac was born to him.

Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter,(I) and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” 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

The child grew and was weaned,(K) and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast. 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.
