1 And YHWH has looked after Sarah as He has said, and YHWH does to Sarah as He has spoken; The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had promised. Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised.
2 and Sarah conceives, and bears a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God has spoken of with him; And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had spoken to him. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him.
3 and Abraham calls the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah has borne to him—Isaac; Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, Isaac. Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him.
4 and Abraham circumcises his son Isaac, [being] a son of eight days, as God has commanded him. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him.
5 And Abraham [is] a son of one hundred years in his son Isaac being born to him, Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 and Sarah says, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who is hearing laughs for me.” And Sarah said, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh over me.” Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.”
7 She also says, “Who has said to Abraham, Sarah has suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?” And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.” 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.”
8 And the boy grows, and is weaned, and Abraham makes a great banquet in the day of Isaac’s being weaned; And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. The child grew and was weaned, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast.
9 and Sarah sees the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she has borne to Abraham, mocking, But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, laughing. But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking,
10 and she says to Abraham, “Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid has no possession with my son—with Isaac.” So she said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.” and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.”
11 And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son’s sake; And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son. The matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son.
12 and God says to Abraham, “Let it not be wrong in your eyes because of the youth, and because of your handmaid: all that Sarah says to you—listen to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to you. But God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your offspring be named. 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 will be reckoned.
13 As for the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] your seed.” And I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring.” I will make the son of the slave into a nation also, because he is your offspring.”
14 And Abraham rises early in the morning, and takes bread, and a bottle of water, and gives to Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the boy, and sends her out; and she goes on, and goes astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba; So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. 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.
15 and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she places the boy under one of the shrubs. When the water in the skin was gone, she put the child under one of the bushes. When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes.
16 And she goes and sits by herself opposite [him], far off, about a bow-shot, for she said, “Do not let me look on the death of the boy”; and she sits opposite [him], and lifts up her voice, and weeps. Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot, for she said, “Let me not look on the death of the child.” And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept. 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 began to sob.
17 And God hears the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calls to Hagar from the heavens and says to her, “What to you, Hagar? Do not fear; for God has listened to the voice of the youth where he [is]; And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.
18 rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with your hand, for I set him for a great nation.” Up! Lift up the boy, and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
