Genesis 21:1-17 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

1. And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;

2. and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;

3. and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him--Isaac;

4. and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.

5. And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,

6. and Sarah saith, `God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'

7. She saith also, `Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'

8. And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;

9. and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,

13. As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.'

14. And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;

15. and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.

16. And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, `Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.

17. And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, `What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];
