Genesi 21

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Visitavit autem Dominus Saram, sicut promiserat, et implevit Sarae, quae locutus est;	1 And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.
2 concepitque et peperit Abrahae filium in senectute eius tempore, quo praedixerat ei Deus.	2 And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.
3 Vocavitque Abraham nomen filii sui, quem genuit ei Sara, Isaac	3 And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.
4 et circumcidit eum octavo die, sicut praeceperat ei Deus.	4 And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,
5 Cum Abraham centum esset annorum, natus est ei Isaac filius eius.	5 When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born.
6 Dixitque Sara: “Risum fecit mihi Deus; quicumque audierit, corridebit mihi ?.	6 And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me.
7 Rursumque ait: ? Quis auditurum crederet Abraham quod Sara lactaret filios, quia peperit ei filium iam seni?”.	7 And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age.
8 Crevit igitur puer et ablactatus est. Fecitque Abraham grande convivium in die ablactationis eius.	8 And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.
9 Cumque vidisset Sara filium Agar Aegyptiae iocantem cum Isaac filio suo, dixit ad Abraham:	9 And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the Egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham:
10 “Eice ancillam hanc et filium eius; non enim erit heres filius ancillae cum filio meo Isaac”.	10 Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.
11 Dure accepit hoc Abraham propter filium suum.	11 Abraham took this grievously for his son.
12 Cui dixit Deus: “Non tibi videatur asperum super puero et super ancilla tua; omnia, quae dixerit tibi Sara, audi vocem eius, quia in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen.	12 And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 Sed et filium ancillae faciam in gentem magnam, quia semen tuum est”.	13 But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
14 Surrexit itaque Abraham mane et tollens panem et utrem aquae imposuit scapulae eius tradiditque puerum et dimisit eam. Quae cum abisset, errabat in deserto Bersabee.	14 So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee.
15 Cumque consumpta esset aqua in utre, abiecit puerum subter unum arbustum	15 And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.
16 et abiit; seditque e regione procul, quantum potest arcus iacere. Dixit enim: “Non videbo morientem puerum”. Et sedens contra levavit vocem suam et flevit.	16 And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, she lifted up her voice and wept.
17 Exaudivit autem Deus vocem pueri; vocavitque angelus Dei Agar de caelo dicens: “Quid tibi, Agar? Noli timere; exaudivit enim Deus vocem pueri de loco, in quo est.	17 And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.
18 Surge, tolle puerum et tene illum manu tua, quia in gentem magnam faciam eum”.	18 Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.
19 Aperuitque Deus oculos eius; quae videns puteum aquae abiit et implevit utrem deditque puero bibere.	19 And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink.
20 Et fuit Deus cum eo; qui crevit et moratus est in solitudine factusque est iuvenis sagittarius.	20 And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.
21 Habitavitque in deserto Pharan; et accepit illi mater sua uxorem de terra Aegypti.	21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
22 Eodem tempore dixit Abimelech et Phicol princeps exercitus eius ad Abraham: “Deus tecum est in universis, quae agis.	22 At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.
23 Iura ergo per Deum, ne noceas mihi et posteris meis stirpique meae; sed iuxta fidem, quam feci tibi, facies mihi et terrae, in qua versatus es advena”.	23 Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger.
24 Dixitque Abraham: “Ego iurabo”.	24 And Abraham said: I will swear.
25 Et increpavit Abraham Abimelech propter puteum aquae, quem vi abstulerant servi eius.	25 And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
26 Responditque Abimelech: “Nescivi quis fecerit hanc rem; sed et tu non indicasti mihi, et ego non audivi praeter hodie”.	26 And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today.
27 Tulit itaque Abraham oves et boves et dedit Abimelech; percusseruntque ambo foedus.	27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.
28 Et statuit Abraham septem agnas gregis seorsum.	28 And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.
29 Cui dixit Abimelech: “Quid sibi volunt septem agnae istae, quas stare fecisti seorsum?”.	29 And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?
30 At ille: “Septem, inquit, agnas accipies de manu mea, ut sint in testimonium mihi, quoniam ego fodi puteum istum”.	30 But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.
31 Idcirco vocatus est locus ille Bersabee, quia ibi uterque iuraverunt.	31 Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because both of them did swear.
32 Et inierunt foedus in Bersabee.	32 And they made a league for the well of oath.
33 Surrexit autem Abimelech et Phicol princeps militiae eius reversique sunt in terram Philisthim. Abraham vero plantavit nemus in Bersabee et invocavit ibi nomen Domini, Dei aeterni. 34 Et fuit colonus in terra Philisthim diebus multis.	33 And Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal.
	34 And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.
