וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים
and=he/it_said ʼₑlhīmv
Alternate translation: “God said to him,”
אֲבָל֙
but
Consider whether it is best in your language to begin God’s response to Abraham here with a No or a “Yes”. Although God agrees that he will bless Ishmael (verse 20), he disagrees with Abraham’s request to allow Ishmael to be the one God establishes his covenant with. Alternate translation: “No, rather” or “Yes, however”
שָׂרָ֣ה אִשְׁתְּךָ֗
Sārāh wife,your
Here God emphasizes what he said in verse 16 about Sarah. Alternate translation: “as I said, your wife Sarah is the one who”
יֹלֶ֤דֶת לְךָ֙ בֵּ֔ן
bear to/for=yourself(m) son
Alternate translation: “will bear you a son,”
וְקָרָ֥אתָ אֶת שְׁמ֖וֹ יִצְחָ֑ק
and,call DOM his/its=name Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac)
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. See how you translated “call … name …” in verse 15. Alternate translation: “and you must name him Isaac.” or “You must give him the name Isaac.”
וַהֲקִמֹתִ֨י אֶת בְּרִיתִ֥י אִתּ֛וֹ
and,establish DOM covenant,my with=him/it
See how you translated a similar clause in verse 7. Alternate translation: “I will make my covenant with him” or “He is the one I will establish my covenant with,”
לִבְרִ֥ית עוֹלָ֖ם
as,covenant everlasting
Alternate translation: “as a permanent covenant”
לְזַרְע֥וֹ אַחֲרָֽיו
for,offspring,his after,him
Alternate translation: “that will also be for all his offspring who live after him.” or “that I will also keep with all his offspring who live after him.”
