| 1 | And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken. | Visitavit autem Dominus Saram, sicut promiserat: et implevit quae locutus est. |
| 2 | And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her. | Concepitque et peperit filium in senectute sua, tempore quo praedixerat ei Deus. |
| 3 | And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac. | Vocavitque Abraham nomen filii sui, quem genuit ei Sara, Isaac: |
| 4 | And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him, | et circumcidit eum octavo die, sicut praeceperat ei Deus, |
| 5 | When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born. | cum centum esset annorum: hac quippe aetate patris, natus est Isaac. |
| 6 | And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me. | Dixitque Sara: Risum fecit mihi Deus: quicumque audierit, corridebit mihi. |
| 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. | Rursumque ait: Quis auditurus crederet Abraham quod Sara lactaret filium, quem peperit ei iam seni? |
| 8 | And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning. | Crevit igitur puer, et ablactatus est: fecitque Abraham grande convivium in die ablactationis eius. |
| 9 | And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the Egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham: | Cumque vidisset Sara filium Agar Aegyptiae ludentem cum Isaac filio suo, dixit ad Abraham: |
| 10 | Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac. | Eiice ancillam hanc, et filium eius: non enim erit haeres filius ancillae cum filio meo Isaac. |
| 11 | Abraham took this grievously for his son. | Dure accepit hoc Abraham pro filio suo. |
| 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. | 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. |
| 13 | But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed. | Sed et filium ancillae faciam in gentem magnam, quia semen tuum est. |
| 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. | Surrexit itaque Abraham mane, et tollens panem et utrem aquae, imposuit scapulae eius, tradiditque puerum, et dimisit eam. Quae cum abiisset, errabat in solitudine Bersabee. |
| 15 | And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there. | Cumque consumpta esset aqua in utre, abiecit puerum subter unam arborum, quae ibi erant. |
| 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. | Et abiit, seditque e regione procul quantum potest arcus iacere: dixit enim: Non videbo morientem puerum: et sedens contra, levavit vocem suam et flevit. |
| 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. | Exaudivit autem Deus vocem pueri: vocavitque angelus Dei Agar de caelo, dicens: Quid agis Agar? noli timere: exaudivit enim Deus vocem pueri de loco in quo est. |
| 18 | Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation. | Surge, tolle puerum, et tene manum illius: quia in gentem magnam faciam eum. |
| 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. | Aperuitque oculos eius Deus: quae videns puteum aquae, abiit, et implevit utrem, deditque puero bibere. |
| 20 | And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer. | Et fuit cum eo: qui crevit, et moratus est in solitudine, factusque est iuvenis sagittarius. |
| 21 | And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt. | Habitavitque in deserto Pharan, et accepit illi mater sua uxorem de terra Aegypti. |
| 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. | Eodem tempore dixit Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus eius, ad Abraham: Deus tecum est in universis quae agis. |
| 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. | Iura ergo per Deum, ne noceas mihi, et posteris meis, stirpique meae: sed iuxta misericordiam, quam feci tibi, facies mihi, et terrae in qua versatus es advena. |
| 24 | And Abraham said: I will swear. | Dixitque Abraham: Ego iurabo. |
| 25 | And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force. | Et increpavit Abimelech propter puteum aquae quem vi abstulerunt servi eius. |
| 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. | Responditque Abimelech: Nescivi quis fecerit hanc rem: sed et tu non indicasti mihi, et ego non audivi praeter hodie. |
| 27 | And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league. | Tulit itaque Abraham oves et boves, et dedit Abimelech: percusseruntque ambo foedus. |
| 28 | And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock. | Et statuit Abraham septem agnas gregis seorsum. |
| 29 | And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart? | Cui dixit Abimelech: Quid sibi volunt septem agnae istae, quas stare fecisti seorsum? |
| 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. | At ille: Septem, inquit, agnas accipies de manu mea: ut sint mihi in testimonium, quoniam ego fodi puteum istum. |
| 31 | Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because there both of them did swear. | Idcirco vocatus est locus ille Bersabee: quia ibi uterque iuravit. |
| 32 | And they made a league for the well of oath. | Et inierunt foedus pro puteo iuramenti. |
| 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. | Surrexit autem Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus eius, reversique sunt in terram Palaestinorum. Abraham vero plantavit nemus in Bersabee, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini Dei aeterni. |
| 34 | And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days. | Et fuit colonus terrae Palaestinorum diebus multis. |
