¹ Και επεσκεφθη ο Κυριος την Σαρραν, ως ειπε· και εκαμεν ο Κυριος εις την Σαρραν, ως ελαλησε.

² Και συνελαβεν η Σαρρα, και εγεννησεν εις τον Αβρααμ υιον εν τω γηρατι αυτου· κατα τον καιρον, τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος.

³ Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβρααμ το ονομα του υιου αυτου, του γεννηθεντος εις αυτον, τον οποιον η Σαρρα εγεννησεν εις αυτον, Ισαακ.

⁴ Περιετεμε δε ο Αβρααμ τον υιον αυτου Ισαακ την ογδοην ημεραν, ως προσεταξεν εις αυτον ο Θεος.

⁵ Ητο δε ο Αβρααμ εκατον ετων, οτε εγεννηθη εις αυτον Ισαακ ο υιος αυτου.

⁶ Και ειπεν η Σαρρα, Ο Θεος με εκαμε να γελω· οστις ακουση, θελει γελα μετ' εμου.

⁷ Και ειπε, Τις ηθελεν ειπει προς τον Αβρααμ, οτι ηθελε θηλασει τεκνα η Σαρρα; επειδη εγεννησα υιον εν τω γηρατι αυτου.

⁸ Το δε παιδιον ηυξησε και απεγαλακτισθη· και εκαμεν ο Αβρααμ μεγα συμποσιον, καθ' ην ημεραν απεγαλακτισθη ο Ισαακ.

⁹ Και ειδεν η Σαρρα τον υιον της Αγαρ της Αιγυπτιας, τον οποιον εγεννησεν εις τον Αβρααμ, περιγελωντα τον Ισαακ.

¹⁰ Και ειπε προς τον Αβρααμ, Διωξον την δουλην ταυτην και τον υιον αυτης· διοτι δεν θελει κληρονομησει ο υιος της δουλης ταυτης μετα του υιου μου, του Ισαακ.

¹¹ Εφανη δε σκληρον σφοδρα το πραγμα εις τους οφθαλμους του Αβρααμ περι του υιου αυτου.

¹² Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς τον Αβρααμ, Ας μη φανη σκληρον εις τους οφθαλμους σου περι του παιδιου και περι της δουλης σου· κατα παντα οσα ειπη προς σε η Σαρρα, ακουε τους λογους αυτης· διοτι εν τω Ισαακ θελει κληθη εις σε σπερμα·

¹³ και τον υιον δε της δουλης εις εθνος θελω καταστησει αυτον· διοτι ειναι σπερμα σου.

¹⁴ Σηκωθεις δε ο Αβρααμ ενωρις το πρωι, ελαβεν αρτους και ασκον υδατος και εδωκεν εις την Αγαρ, επιθεσας αυτα επι τον ωμον αυτης, και το παιδιον, και απεπεμψεν αυτην. Η δε αναχωρησασα περιεπλανατο εν τη ερημω Βηρ-σαβεε.

¹⁵ Και αφου ετελειωσε το υδωρ απο του ασκου, ερριψε το παιδιον υποκατω ενος θαμνου·

¹⁶ και ελθουσα εκαθισεν απεναντι, μακραν εως τοξου βολης· διοτι ειπε, να μη ιδω τον θανατον του παιδιου. Και εκαθισεν απεναντι και υψωσε την φωνην αυτης και εκλαυσεν.

¹⁷ Εισηκουσε δε ο Θεος την φωνην του παιδιου· και εφωνησεν αγγελος Θεου προς την Αγαρ εκ του ουρανου, και ειπε προς αυτην, Τι εχεις, Αγαρ; μη φοβου· διοτι ηκουσεν ο Θεος την φωνην του παιδιου εκ του τοπου ενθα κειται·

¹⁸ σηκωθητι, λαβε το παιδιον, και κρατει αυτο με την χειρα σου· διοτι θελω καταστησει αυτο εις εθνος μεγα.

¹⁹ Και ηνοιξεν ο Θεος τους οφθαλμους αυτης, και ιδουσα φρεαρ υδατος υπηγε και εγεμισε τον ασκον υδωρ και εποτισε το παιδιον.

²⁰ Και ητο ο Θεος μετα του παιδιου, και ηυξησε, και κατωκησεν εν τη ερημω και εγεινε τοξοτης.

²¹ Και κατωκησεν εν τη ερημω Φαραν· και η μητηρ αυτου ελαβεν εις αυτον γυναικα εκ γης Αιγυπτου.

²² Κατ' εκεινον δε τον καιρον ο Αβιμελεχ, μετα του Φιχολ αρχιστρατηγου της δυναμεως αυτου, ειπε προς τον Αβρααμ, λεγων, Ο Θεος ειναι μετα σου εις παντα οσα πραττεις·

²³ τωρα λοιπον ομοσον προς εμε εδω εις τον Θεον, οτι δεν θελεις ψευσθη προς εμε, ουτε προς τον υιον μου, ουτε προς τους εγγονους μου· αλλα κατα το ελεος, το οποιον εκαμα εις σε, θελεις καμει εις εμε, και εις την γην οπου παρωκησας.

²⁴ Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Εγω θελω ομοσει.

²⁵ Και ελεγξεν ο Αβρααμ τον Αβιμελεχ δια το φρεαρ του υδατος, το οποιον αφηρπασαν οι δουλοι του Αβιμελεχ.

²⁶ Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ, Δεν εξευρω τις επραξε το πραγμα τουτο· και ουτε συ με εφανερωσας και ουτε εγω ηκουσα, ειμη σημερον.

²⁷ Και λαβων ο Αβρααμ προβατα και βοας, εδωκεν εις τον Αβιμελεχ· και εκαμον αμφοτεροι συνθηκην.

²⁸ Και εβαλεν ο Αβρααμ κατα μερος επτα θηλυκα αρνια του ποιμνιου.

²⁹ Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ προς τον Αβρααμ, Τι ειναι ταυτα τα επτα θηλυκα αρνια, τα οποια εβαλες κατα μερος;

³⁰ Ο δε ειπεν, Οτι ταυτα τα επτα θηλυκα αρνια θελεις λαβει εκ της χειρος μου, δια να ηναι εις εμε εις μαρτυριον οτι εγω εσκαψα το φρεαρ τουτο.

³¹ δια τουτο ωνομασε τον τοπον εκεινον, Βηρ-σαβεε· διοτι εκει ωμοσαν αμφοτεροι.

³² Και εκαμον συνθηκην εν Βηρ-σαβεε. Εσηκωθη δε ο Αβιμελεχ και Φιχολ ο αρχιστρατηγος της δυναμεως αυτου, και επεστρεψαν εις την γην των Φιλισταιων.

³³ Και εφυτευσεν ο Αβρααμ δρυμον εν Βηρ-σαβεε· και επεκαλεσθη εκει το ονομα του Κυριου, του αιωνιου Θεου.

³⁴ Παρωκησε δε ο Αβρααμ εν τη γη των Φιλισταιων ημερας πολλας.

¹ Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken.

² Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

³ Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.

⁴ Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

⁵ Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.

⁶ Sarah said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me."

⁷ She said, "Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age."

⁸ The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

⁹ Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

¹⁰ Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this handmaid and her son! For the son of this handmaid will not be heir with my son, Isaac."

¹¹ The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.

¹² God said to Abraham, "Don't let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your handmaid. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For from Isaac will your seed be called.

¹³ I will also make a nation of the son of the handmaid, because he is your seed."

¹⁴ Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

¹⁵ The water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

¹⁶ She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, "Don't let me see the death of the child." She sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.

¹⁷ God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, "What ails you, Hagar? Don't be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

¹⁸ Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation."

¹⁹ God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink.

²⁰ God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.

²¹ He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

²² It happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do.

²³ Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner."

²⁴ Abraham said, "I will swear."

²⁵ Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

²⁶ Abimelech said, "I don't know who has done this thing. Neither did you tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today."

²⁷ Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.

²⁸ Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

²⁹ Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"

³⁰ He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well."

³¹ Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore there.

³² So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

³³ Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

³⁴ Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
