Yaratılış 21

¹Ve Rab, vaat ettiği gibi Sara'yı lütufla ziyaret etti ve Rab, Sara'ya söylediği üzere gerçekleştirdi.

²Sara gebe kaldı ve İbrahim'e yaşlılığında, Rab'bin kendisine bildirdiği o tam vakitte bir oğul doğurdu.

³İbrahim, Sara'nın kendisine doğurduğu, kendi soyundan olan oğluna İshak adını verdi.

⁴İbrahim, Tanrı'nın kendisine buyurmuş olduğu üzere, oğlu İshak'ı sekizinci günde sünnet etti.

⁵Oğlu İshak kendisine doğduğunda İbrahim yüz yaşındaydı.

⁶Sara, "Rab benim için bir gülüş yarattı; bunu her kim işitirse benimle birlikte sevinecektir" dedi.

⁷Ve ekledi: "Sara'nın bir çocuk emzireceğini İbrahim'e kim haber verebilirdi? Oysa onun yaşlılığında bir oğul doğurdum."

⁸Çocuk büyüdü ve sütten kesildi; İshak'ın sütten kesildiği o günde İbrahim büyük bir şölen verdi.

⁹Sara, Mısırlı Hacer'in İbrahim'e doğurmuş olduğu oğlunun, kendi oğlu İshak ile alay ederek oynadığını gördü.

¹⁰İbrahim'e, "Bu cariyeyi ve oğlunu dışarı at" dedi, "Çünkü bu cariyenin oğlu, benim oğlum İshak ile birlikte asla mirasçı olmayacaktır."

¹¹Bu söz, kendi oğlu yüzünden İbrahim'in gözünde son derece ağır ve katı göründü.

¹²Fakat Tanrı İbrahim'e, "Çocuk ve cariyen için bu durum senin gözünde ağır görünmesin" dedi, "Sara'nın sana söylediği her şeyde onun sesine kulak ver; çünkü senin soyun İshak aracılığıyla adlandırılacaktır."

¹³"Bu cariyenin oğlunu da büyük bir ulus haline getireceğim, çünkü o da senin soyundur."

¹⁴İbrahim sabah erkenden kalktı, ekmek ve bir tulum su alıp Hacer'e verdi; bunları ve çocuğu onun omuzlarına yerleştirip onu gönderdi. Hacer de ayrılıp Yemin Kuyusu yakınlarındaki çölde dolanıp durdu.

¹⁵Tulumdaki su tükenince, çocuğu bir çam ağacının altına bıraktı.

¹⁶Gidip onun karşısında, yaklaşık bir ok atımı uzaklıkta oturdu; çünkü "Çocuğumun ölümünü görmeyeyim" diyordu. Karşısında otururken, çocuk sesini yükselterek ağladı.

¹⁷Tanrı çocuğun sesini bulunduğu o yerden işitti; Tanrı'nın meleği göklerden Hacer'e seslenip, "Neyin var Hacer?" dedi, "Korkma, çünkü Tanrı çocuğun sesini olduğu o yerden işitmiştir."

¹⁸"Kalk, çocuğu kaldır ve onu elinle sıkıca tut; çünkü onu büyük bir ulus yapacağım."

¹⁹Tanrı onun gözlerini açtı ve o, diri suyla dolu bir kuyu gördü; gidip tulumu suyla doldurdu ve çocuğa içirdi.

²⁰Tanrı çocukla birlikteydi; çocuk büyüdü, çölde yaşadı ve bir okçu oldu.

²¹Paran Çölü'nde yaşadı ve annesi ona Mısır diyarından bir eş aldı.

²²O sırada Abimelek, sağdıcı Ohozat ve ordusunun başkomutanı Fikol, İbrahim'e şöyle dediler: "Yaptığın her işte Tanrı seninledir."

²³"Şimdi burada, Tanrı'nın adına ant iç ki bana, soyuma ve adıma haksızlık etmeyeceksin; sana gösterdiğim doğruluk uyarınca bana ve yabancı olarak yaşadığın bu topraklara aynı iyilikle davranacaksın."

²⁴İbrahim, "Ben ant içeceğim" dedi.

²⁵Sonra İbrahim, Abimelek'in kölelerinin zorla el koyduğu su kuyuları yüzünden Abimelek'i sorgulayıp azarladı.

²⁶Abimelek, "Bunu kimin yaptığını bilmiyorum" dedi, "Sen de bana bildirmedin, ben de ancak bugün duydum."

²⁷İbrahim koyunlar ve danalar alıp Abimelek'e verdi ve her ikisi bir antlaşma yaptılar.

²⁸İbrahim sürüden yedi dişi kuzu ayırıp tek başlarına koydu.

²⁹Abimelek İbrahim'e, "Tek başlarına ayırdığın bu yedi dişi kuzu ne anlama geliyor?" diye sordu.

³⁰İbrahim, "Bu yedi dişi kuzuyu benim elimden kabul etmelisin" dedi, "Öyle ki, bu kuyuyu benim kazdığıma dair bana bir tanıklık olsun."

³¹Bu yüzden o yerin adını "Andiçme Kuyusu" koydu; çünkü ikisi de orada ant içmişlerdi.

³²Andiçme Kuyusu'nda antlaşma yaptıktan sonra, Abimelek, sağdıcı Ohozat ve ordu komutanı Fikol kalkıp Filistliler ülkesine döndüler.

³³İbrahim Andiçme Kuyusu'nun yanında bir tarla ekti ve orada sonsuz Tanrı olan Rab'bin adını yakardı.

³⁴İbrahim Filistliler ülkesinde uzun süre yabancı olarak yaşadı.

¹ΚΑΙ Κύριος ἐπεσκέψατο τὴν Σάρραν, καθὰ εἶπε, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος τῇ Σάρρᾳ καθὰ ἐλάλησε,

²καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκε τῷ ῾Αβραὰμ υἱὸν εἰς τὸ γῆρας, εἰς τὸν καιρόν, καθὰ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ Κύριος.

³καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ῾Αβραὰμ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ γενομένου αὐτῷ, ὃν ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Σάρρα, ᾿Ισαάκ.

⁴περιέτεμε δὲ ῾Αβραὰμ τὸν ᾿Ισαὰκ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, καθὰ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός.

⁵καὶ ῾Αβραὰμ ἦν ἑκατὸν ἐτῶν, ἡνίκα ἐγένετο αὐτῷ ᾿Ισαὰκ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ.

⁶εἶπε δὲ Σάρρα· γέλωτά μοι ἐποίησε Κύριος· ὃς γὰρ ἂν ἀκούσῃ, συγχαρεῖταί μοι.

⁷καὶ εἶπε· τίς ἀναγγελεῖ τῷ ῾Αβραάμ, ὅτι θηλάζει παιδίον Σάρρα; ὅτι ἔτεκον υἱὸν ἐν τῷ γήρᾳ μου.

⁸Καὶ ηὐξήθη τὸ παιδίον καὶ ἀπεγαλακτίσθη, καὶ ἐποίησεν ῾Αβραὰμ δοχὴν μεγάλην, ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἀπεγαλακτίσθη ᾿Ισαὰκ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ.

⁹ἰδοῦσα δὲ Σάρρα τὸν υἱὸν ῎Αγαρ τῆς Αἰγυπτίας, ὃς ἐγένετο τῷ ῾Αβραάμ, παίζοντα μετὰ ᾿Ισαὰκ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς·

¹⁰καὶ εἶπε τῷ ῾Αβραάμ· ἔκβαλε τὴν παιδίσκην ταύτην καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς· οὐ γὰρ μὴ κληρονομήσει ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης ταύτης μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ μου ᾿Ισαάκ.

¹¹σκληρὸν δὲ ἐφάνη τὸ ρῆμα σφόδρα ἐναντίον ῾Αβραὰμ περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.

¹²εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ ῾Αβραάμ· μὴ σκληρὸν ἔστω ἐναντίον σου περὶ τοῦ παιδίου καὶ περὶ τῆς παιδίσκης· πάντα ἂν ὅσα εἴπῃ σοι Σάρρα, ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῆς, ὅτι ἐν ᾿Ισαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα.

¹³καὶ τὸν υἱὸν δὲ τῆς παιδίσκης ταύτης εἰς ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω αὐτόν, ὅτι σπέρμα σόν ἐστιν.

¹⁴ἀνέστη δὲ ῾Αβραὰμ τὸ πρωΐ καὶ ἔλαβεν ἄρτους καὶ ἀσκὸν ὕδατος καὶ ἔδωκε τῇ ῎Αγαρ καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων αὐτῆς τὸ παιδίον καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτήν. ἀπελθοῦσα δὲ ἐπλανᾶτο κατὰ τὴν ἔρημον, κατὰ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου.

¹⁵ἐξέλιπε δὲ τὸ ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ ἀσκοῦ, καὶ ἔρριψε τὸ παιδίον ὑποκάτω μιᾶς ἐλάτης.

¹⁶ἀπελθοῦσα δὲ ἐκάθητο ἀπέναντι αὐτοῦ μακρόθεν ὡσεὶ τόξου βολήν· εἶπε γάρ, οὐ μὴ ἴδω τὸν θάνατον τοῦ παιδίου μου. καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἀπέναντι αὐτοῦ, ἀναβοῆσαν δὲ τὸ παιδίον ἔκλαυσεν.

¹⁷εἰσήκουσε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ παιδίου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου, οὗ ἦν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ἄγγελος Θεοῦ τὴν ῎Αγαρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· τί ἐστιν ῎Αγαρ; μὴ φοβοῦ· ἐπακήκοε γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ παιδίου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου, οὗ ἐστιν.

¹⁸ἀνάστηθι καὶ λαβὲ τὸ παιδίον καὶ κράτησον τῇ χειρί σου αὐτό· εἰς γὰρ ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω αὐτό.

¹⁹καὶ ἀνέῳξεν ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶδε φρέαρ ὕδατος ζῶντος καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἔπλησε τὸν ἀσκὸν ὕδατος καὶ ἐπότισε τὸ παιδίον.

²⁰καὶ ἦν ὁ Θεὸς μετὰ τοῦ παιδίου, καὶ ηὐξήθη. καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἐγένετο δὲ τοξότης.

²¹καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῇ Φαράν, καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ γυναῖκα ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.

²²᾿Εγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβιμέλεχ καὶ ῾Οχοζὰθ ὁ νυμφαγωγὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ Φιχὸλ ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ πρὸς ῾Αβραὰμ λέγων· ὁ Θεὸς μετὰ σοῦ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐὰν ποιῇς·

²³νῦν οὖν ὄμοσόν μοι τὸν Θεόν, μὴ ἀδικήσειν με μηδὲ τὸ σπέρμα μου, μηδὲ τὸ ὄνομά μου· ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην, ἣν ἐποίησα μετὰ σοῦ, ποιήσεις μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ τῇ γῇ, ᾗ σὺ παρῴκησας ἐν αὐτῇ.

²⁴καὶ εἶπεν ῾Αβραάμ· ἐγὼ ὀμοῦμαι.

²⁵καὶ ἤλεγξεν ῾Αβραὰμ τὸν ᾿Αβιμέλεχ περὶ τῶν φρεάτων τοῦ ὕδατος, ὧν ἀφείλοντο οἱ παῖδες τοῦ ᾿Αβιμέλεχ.

²⁶καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ᾿Αβιμέλεχ· οὐκ ἔγνων τίς ἐποίησέ σοι τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, οὐδὲ σύ μοι ἀπήγγειλας, οὐδὲ ἐγὼ ἤκουσα, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ σήμερον.

²⁷καὶ ἔλαβεν ῾Αβραὰμ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους, καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ ᾿Αβιμέλεχ, καὶ διέθεντο ἀμφότεροι διαθήκην.

²⁸καὶ ἔστησεν ῾Αβραὰμ ἑπτὰ ἀμνάδας προβάτων μόνας.

²⁹καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβιμέλεχ τῷ ῾Αβραάμ· τί εἰσιν αἱ ἑπτὰ ἀμνάδες τῶν προβάτων τούτων, ἃς ἔστησας μόνας;

³⁰καὶ εἶπεν ῾Αβραάμ, ὅτι τὰς ἑπτὰ ἀμνάδας λήψῃ παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα ὦσί μοι εἰς μαρτύριον, ὅτι ἐγὼ ὤρυξα τὸ φρέαρ τοῦτο.

³¹διὰ τοῦτο ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, Φρέαρ ὁρκισμοῦ, ὅτι ἐκεῖ ὤμοσαν ἀμφότεροι.

³²καὶ διέθεντο διαθήκην ἐν τῷ φρέατι τοῦ ὁρκισμοῦ. ἀνέστη δὲ ᾿Αβιμέλεχ καὶ ῾Οχοζὰθ ὁ νυμφαγωγὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ Φιχὸλ ὁ ἀρχιστράτητος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν γῆν τῶν Φυλιστιείμ.

³³καὶ ἐφύτευσεν· ῾Αβραὰμ ἄρουραν ἐπὶ τῷ φρέατι τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐκεῖ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, Θεὸς αἰώνιος.

³⁴παρῴκησε δὲ ῾Αβραὰμ ἐν τῇ γῇ τῶν Φυλιστιεὶμ ἡμέρας πολλάς.

¹AND the Lord visited Sarrha, as he said, and the Lord did to Sarrha, as he spoke.

²And she conceived and bore to Abraam a son in old age, at the set time according as the Lord spoke to him.

³And Abraam called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarrha bore to him, Isaac.

⁴And Abraam circumcised Isaac on the eighth day, as God commanded him.

⁵And Abraam was a hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him.

⁶And Sarrha said, The Lord has made laughter for me, for whoever shall hear shall rejoice with me.

⁷And she said, Who shall say to Abraam that Sarrha suckles a child? for I have born a child in my old age.

⁸And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraam made a great feast the day that his son Isaac was weaned.

⁹And Sarrha having seen the son of Agar the Egyptian who was born to Abraam, sporting with Isaac her son,

¹⁰then she said to Abraam, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not inherit with my son Isaac.

¹¹But the word appeared very hard before Abraam concerning his son.

¹²But God said to Abraam, Let it not be hard before thee concerning the child, and concerning the bondwoman; in all things whatsoever Sarrha shall say to thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

¹³And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.

¹⁴And Abraam rose up in the morning and took loaves and a skin of water, and gave [them] to Agar, and he put the child on her shoulder, and sent her away, and she having departed wandered in the wilderness near the well of the oath.

¹⁵And the water failed out of the skin, and she cast the child under a fir tree.

¹⁶And she departed and sat down opposite him at a distance, as it were a bow-shot, for she said, Surely I cannot see the death of my child: and she sat opposite him, and the child cried aloud and wept.

¹⁷And God heard the voice of the child from the place where he was, and an angel of God called Agar out of heaven, and said to her, What is it, Agar? fear not, for God has heard the voice of the child from the place where he is.

¹⁸Rise up, and take the child, and hold him in thine hand, for I will make him a great nation.

¹⁹And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of springing water; and she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the child drink.

²⁰And God was with the child, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

²¹And he dwelt in the wilderness, and his mother took him a wife out of Pharan of Egypt.

²²And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke, and Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, to Abraam, saying, God is with thee in all things, whatsoever thou mayest do.

²³Now therefore swear to me by God that thou wilt not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name, but according to the righteousness which I have performed with thee thou shalt deal with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.

²⁴And Abraam said, I will swear.

²⁵And Abraam reproved Abimelech because of the wells of water, which the servants of Abimelech took away.

²⁶And Abimelech said to him, I know not who has done this thing to thee, neither dist thou tell it me, neither heard I it but only to-day.

²⁷And Abraam took sheep and calves, and gave them to Abimelech, and both made a covenant.

²⁸And Abraam set seven ewe-lambs by themselves.

²⁹And Abimelech said to Abraam, What are these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set alone?

³⁰And Abraam said, Thou shalt receive the seven ewe-lambs of me, that they may be for me as a witness, that I dug this well.

³¹Therefore he named the name of that place, The Well of the Oath, for there they both swore.

³²And they made a covenant at the well of the oath. And there rose up Abimelech, Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army, and they returned to the land of the Phylistines.

³³And Abraam planted a field at the well of the oath, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.

³⁴And Abraam sojourned in the land of the Phylistines many days.
