21 — Genesi

1And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.E il Signore visitò Sara, conforme avea promesso, e adempié la sua parola.AND our Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled the things which he spake.Visitavit autem Dominus Saram, sicut promiserat: et implevit quæ locutus est. 2And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.Ed ella concepì, e partorì un figliuolo nella sua vecchiezza, al tempo predettole da Dio;And she conceaued and bare a sonne in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.Concepitque et peperit filium in senectute sua, tempore quo prædixerat ei Deus. 3And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.E Abramo pose il nome d'Isaac al figliuolo partoritogli da Sara:And Abraham called the name of his sonne, which Sara bare him, Isaac:Vocavitque Abraham nomen filii sui, quem genuit ei Sara, Isaac: 4And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,E l'ottavo giorno lo circoncise, conforme Dio gli avea comandato,and he circumcised him the eight day, as God had commanded him,et circumcidit eum octavo die, sicut præceperat ei Deus, 5When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father, was Isaac born.Avendo egli cento anni: imperocché di questa età era il padre, quando nacque Isacco.when he was an hundred yeares old: for at this age of his father, was Isaac borne.cum centum esset annorum: hac quippe ætate patris, natus est Isaac. 6And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me.E disse Sara: Dio mi ha dato, onde ridere: e chiunque ne udirà la novella, riderà meco.And Sara said: Laughter God hath made to me: whosoeuer shal heare of it, wil laugh with me.Dixitque Sara: Risum fecit mihi Deus: quicumque audierit, corridebit mihi. 7And 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?E soggiunse: Chi avrebbe creduto, dovere Abramo sentirsi dire, che Sara allatterebbe un figliuolo partorito a lui già vecchio?And again she said: Who that shal heare of it would beleue Abraham, that Sara gaue sucke to a sonne, which she bare him now being an old man?Rursumque ait: Quis auditurus crederet Abraham quod Sara lactaret filium, quem peperit et jam seni ? 8And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.Crebbe adunque il bambino, e fu divezzato; e nel giorno, in cui fu divezzato fece Abramo un gran convito.The child therfore grewe, and was weined: and Abraham made a great feast in the day of his weining.Crevit igitur puer, et ablactatus est: fecitque Abraham grande convivium in die ablactationis ejus.

9And when Sara had seen the son of Agar, the Egyptian, playing with Isaac, her son, she said to Abraham:Ma Sara avendo veduto il figliuolo di Agar Egiziana, che scherniva il suo figlio Isacco, disse ad Abramo:And when Sara had senne the sonne of Agar the Aegyptian playing with Isaac her sonne, she said to Abraham:Cumque vidisset Sara filium Agar Ægyptiæ ludentem cum Isaac filio suo, dixit ad Abraham: 10Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.Caccia questa schiava, e il suo figlio: perocché non sarà erede il figlio della schiava col figlio mio Isacco.Cast out this handmaid, and her sonne: for the sonne of the handmaid shal not be heire with my sonne Isaac.Ejice ancillam hanc, et filium ejus: non enim erit hæres filius ancillæ cum filio meo Isaac. 11Abraham took this grievously for his son.Duro parve ad Abramo questo parlare riguardo ad un suo figlio.Abraham tooke this greuously for his sonne:Dure accepit hoc Abraham pro filio suo. 12And 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.Il Signore però gli disse: Non sembri a te aspro il far ciò ad un fanciullo, e ad una tua schiava: in tutto quello che dirà a te Sara, ascolta le sue parole: perocché in Isacco sarà la tua discendenza.To whom God said: Let it not seme greuous to thee for the boy, and for thy handmaid: al things that Sara shal say to thee, heare her voice: because in Isaac shal seed de called to thee.Cui dixit Deus: Non tibi videatur asperum super puero, et super ancilla tua: omnia quæ dixerit tibi Sara, audi vocem ejus: quia in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen. 13But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.Ma il figliuolo ancor della schiava farò capo di una nazione grande, perché egli è tua stirpe.But the sonne also of the handmaid I wil make into a great nation, because he is thy seede.Sed et filium ancillæ faciam in gentem magnam, quia semen tuum est. 14So 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.Abramo adunque alzatosi la mattina, prese del pane e un otre di acqua, e lo pose a lei sulle spalle, e le diede il fanciullo, e la licenziò. E quella partitasi andò errando per la solitudine di Bersabea.Abraham therfore rose vp in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it vpon her shoulder, and deliuered the boy and dismist her. Who went away, and wandred in the wildernesse of Bersabee.Surrexit itaque Abraham mane, et tollens panem et utrem aquæ, imposuit scapulæ ejus, tradiditque puerum, et dimisit eam. Quæ cum abiisset, errabat in solitudine Bersabee.

15And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.Ed essendo venuta meno l'acqua dell'otre, gettò il fanciullo sotto uno degli alberi, che eran ivi.And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy vnder one of the trees, that were there.Cumque consumpta esset aqua in utre, abjecit puerum subter unam arborum, quæ ibi erant. 16And 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.E se n'andò, e si pose a sedere dirimpetto in distanza di un tiro d'arco; imperocché disse: Non vedrò morire il fanciullo: e sedendogli in faccia alzò la sua voce, e pianse.And she went her way, and sate ouer against a great way of as farre as a bowe can cast. for she said: I wil no see the child dying: and sitting ouer against, she lifted vp her voice and wept.Et abiit, seditque e regione procul quantum potest arcus jacere: dixit enim: Non videbo morientem puerum: et sedens contra, levavit vocem suam et flevit. 17And 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.E il Signore esaudì la voce del fanciullo: e l'Angelo di Dio dal cielo chiamò Agar, dicendo: Che fai, o Agar? Non temere: perocché il Signore ha esaudito la voce del fanciullo dal luogo, ov'ei si trova.And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called Agar from heauen, saying: What doest thou Agar? feare not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherin he is.Exaudivit autem Deus vocem pueri: vocavitque angelus Dei Agar de cælo, dicens: Quid agis Agar ? noli timere: exaudivit enim Deus vocem pueri de loco in quo est. 18Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand, for I will make him a great nation.Alzati; prendi il fanciullo, e tienlo per la mano, conciossiaché io lo farò capo di una nazione grande.Arise, take vp the boy, and hold his hand: for into a great nation wil I make him.Surge, tolle puerum, et tene manum illius: quia in gentem magnam faciam eum. 19And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink.E Dio le aperse gli occhi: ed ella vide un pozzo di acqua, e andò ad empier l'otre, e diede da bere al fanciullo.And God opened her eyes: who seing a wel of water, went, and filled the bottle, and gaue the boy to drinke.Aperuitque oculos ejus Deus: quæ videns puteum aquæ, abiit, et implevit utrem, deditque puero bibere.

20And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.E (Dio) fu con lui, ed egli crebbe, e abitò nella solitudine, e divenne giovane esperto a tirar d'arco.And God was with him: who grew, and abode in the wildernes, and became a young man archer.Et fuit cum eo: qui crevit, et moratus est in solitudine, factusque est juvenis sagittarius. 21And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.E abitò nel deserto di Pharan: e sua madre gli diede una moglie Egiziana.And he dwelt in the wildernes of Pharan, and his mother tooke a wife for him out of the land of Aegypt.Habitavitque in deserto Pharan, et accepit illi mater sua uxorem de terra Ægypti. 22At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army, said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.Nello stesso tempo Abimelech, e Phicol capitano del suo esercito disse ad Abramo: Iddio è con te in tutto quello che tu fai.The same time said Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his armie to Abraham: God is with thee in al things which thou doest.Eodem tempore dixit Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus ejus, ad Abraham: Deus tecum est in universis quæ agis. 23Swear 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.Giura adunque per Dio di non far male a me, e a' miei posteri, e alla mia stirpe: ma che, siccome io ho fatto del bene a te, così tu ne farai a me, e a questa terra, in cui se' stato pellegrino.Sweare therfore by God, not to hurt me, and my posteritie, and my stocke: but according to the mercie, that I haue done thee, thou shalt doe to me, and to the land wherin thou hast liued a stranger.Jura ergo per Deum, ne noceas mihi, et posteris meis, stirpique meæ: sed juxta misericordiam, quam feci tibi, facies mihi, et terræ in qua versatus es advena. 24And Abraham said: I will swear.E Abramo disse: Io ne farò giuramento.And Abraham said: I wil sweare.Dixitque Abraham: Ego jurabo. 25And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.E fece delle querele con Abimelech per ragione di un pozzo di acqua, che i servi di lui si erano usurpati per forza.And he rebuked Abimelech for the wel of water, which his seruants had taken away by force.Et increpavit Abimelech propter puteum aquæ quem vi abstulerunt servi ejus.

26And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today.E Abimelech rispose: Non ho saputo chi abbia fatta tal cosa: ma né pur tu me ne hai fatto motto, ed io non ne ho sentito parlare se non adesso.And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: yea and thy selfe didest not tel me, and I heard not of it but to day.Responditque Abimelech: Nescivi quis fecerit hanc rem: sed et tu non indicasti mihi, et ego non audivi præter hodie. 27Then Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.Abramo adunque prese delle pecore e de' bovi, e li diede ad Abimelech: e ambedue fecero alleanza.Abraham therfore tooke sheepe and oxen, and gaue to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.Tulit itaque Abraham oves et boves, et dedit Abimelech: percusseruntque ambo fœdus. 28And Abraham set apart seven ewelambs of the flock.E Abramo pose sette agnelle di branco da parte.And Abraham set seuen ewe lambes of the flocke apart.Et statuit Abraham septem agnas gregis seorsum. 29And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewelambs which thou hast set apart?E dissegli Abimelech: Che vogliono dire queste sette agnelle, che tu fai stare da parte?To whom Abimelech said: What meane these seuen ewe lambes, which thou hast made to stand apart?Cui dixit Abimelech: Quid sibi volunt septem agnæ istæ, quas stare fecisti seorsum ? 30But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewelambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.Ed egli disse: Sette agnelle riceverai tu dalla mia mano: affinché servano a me di testimonianza, come io ho scavato quel pozzo.But he said: Seuen ewe lambes shalt thou take at my hand: that they may be a testimonie for me, that I digged this wel.At ille: Septem, inquit, agnas accipies de manu mea: ut sint mihi in testimonium, quoniam ego fodi puteum istum. 31Therefore that place was called Bersabee; because there both of them did swear.Per questo fu quel luogo chiamato Bersabee; perché l'uno e l'altro ivi fatto avea giuramento.Therfor was that place called Bersabee: because there both did sweare.Idcirco vocatus est locus ille Bersabee: quia ibi uterque juravit. 32And they made a league for the well of oath.E avean fatto accordo circa il pozzo del giuramento.And they made a league for the wel of oath.Et inierunt fœdus pro puteo juramenti. 33And 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.E se n'andarono Abimelech, e Phicol capitano del suo esercito, e tornarono nella terra de' Palestini. Abramo poi piantò una selva a Bersabee, e ivi invocò il nome del Signore Dio eterno.And Abimelech arose, and Phicol the general of his armie, and they returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a groue in Bersabee, and called therupon the name of our Lord God eternal.Surrexit autem Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus ejus, reversique sunt in terram Palæstinorum. Abraham vero plantavit nemus in Bersabee, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini Dei æterni.

34And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.E abitò pellegrino nella terra de' Palestini per molto tempo.And he was a seiorner in the land of the Palestines manie dayes.Et fuit colonus terræ Palæstinorum diebus multis.
