< تكوين 26 >

وَحَدَثَ فِي الأَرْضِ جُوعٌ غَيْرُ الْجُوعِ الأَوَّلِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي أَيَّامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَارْتَحَلَ إِسْحاقُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ جَرَارَ حَيْثُ أَبِيمَالِكُ مَلِكُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. ١ 1
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
فَظَهَرَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: «لا تَمْضِ إِلَى مِصْرَ، بَلُ امْكُثْ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أُعَيِّنُهَا لَكَ. ٢ 2
And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell you of:
أَقِمْ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ فَأَكُونَ مَعَكَ وَأُبَارِكَكَ، لأَنَّنِي أُعْطِي لَكَ وَلِذُرِّيَّتِكَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ وَفَاءً بِقَسَمِي الَّذِي أَقْسَمْتُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكَ. ٣ 3
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for unto you, and unto your seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham your father;
وَأُكَثِّرُ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَأَهِبُهَا جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْبِلادِ. وَتَتَبَارَكُ فِي نَسْلِكَ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ. ٤ 4
And I will make your seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto your seed all these countries; and in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
لأَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَطَاعَ قَوْلِي، وَحَفِظَ أَوَامِرِي وَوَصَايَايَ وَفَرَائِضِي وَشَرَائِعِي». ٥ 5
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
فَأَقَامَ إِسْحاقُ فِي مَدِينَةِ جَرَارَ. ٦ 6
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
وَعِنْدَمَا سَأَلَهُ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ عَنْ زَوْجَتِهِ قَالَ: «هِيَ أُخْتِي» لأَنَّهُ خَافَ أَنْ يَقُولَ: «هِيَ زَوْجَتِي» لِئَلّا يَقْتُلَهُ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ رِفْقَةَ، لأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ رَائِعَةَ الْجَمَالِ. ٧ 7
And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ أَنْ طَالَ مُكُوثُهُ هُنَاكَ، أَنَّ أَبِيمَالِكَ مَلِكَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَطَلَّ مِنَ النَّافِذَةِ، فَشَاهَدَ إِسْحاقَ يُدَاعِبُ امْرَأَتَهُ رِفْقَةَ. ٨ 8
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
فَاسْتَدْعَاهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّهَا بِالْحَقِيقَةِ زَوْجَتُكَ، فَكَيْفَ قُلْتَ هِيَ أُخْتِي؟» فَأَجَابَ إِسْحاقُ: «لأَنِّي قُلْتُ: لَعَلِّي أُقْتَلُ بِسَبَبِهَا». ٩ 9
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, certainly she is your wife; and how said you, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ: «مَا هَذَا الَّذِي فَعَلْتَ بِنَا؟ لَقَدْ كَانَ يَسِيراً عَلَى أَيِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ أَنْ يَضْطَجِعَ مَعَ زَوْجَتِكَ فَتَجْلِبُ بِذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا إِثْماً». ١٠ 10
And Abimelech said, What is this you have done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with your wife, and you should have brought guiltiness upon us.
وَأَنْذَرَ أَبِيمَالِكُ كُلَّ الشَّعْبِ قَائِلاً: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَمَسُّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ أَوْ زَوْجَتَهُ فَحَتْماً يَمُوتُ». ١١ 11
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
وَزَرَعَ إِسْحاقُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ، فَحَصَدَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ لأَنَّ اللهَ بَارَكَهُ. ١٢ 12
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
وَعَظُمَ شَأْنُ الرَّجُلِ، وَتَزَايَدَ غِنَاهُ وَأَصْبَحَ وَاسِعَ الثَّرَاءِ وَالنُّفُوذِ. ١٣ 13
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
وَصَارَتْ لَهُ مَاشِيَةٌ، غَنَمٌ وَقُطْعَانُ بَقَرٍ وَعَبِيدٌ كَثِيرُونَ. فَحَسَدَهُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ. ١٤ 14
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
وَرَدَمَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِالتُّرَابِ جَمِيعَ الآبَارِ الَّتِي حَفَرَهَا عَبِيدُ أَبِيهِ فِي أَيَّامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. ١٥ 15
For all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
وَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ لإِسْحاقَ: «ارْحَلْ عَنَّا لأَنَّكَ أَصْبَحْتَ أَكْثَرَ قُوَّةً مِنَّا». ١٦ 16
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for you are much mightier than we.
فَانْصَرَفَ إِسْحاقُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَضَرَبَ خِيَامَهُ فِي وَادِي جَرَارَ حَيْثُ أَقَامَ. ١٧ 17
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
وَأَعَادَ إِسْحاقُ حَفْرَ آبَارِ الْمِيَاهِ الَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ تَمَّ حَفْرُهَا فِي أَيَّامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَرَدَمَهَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أَبِيهِ، وَدَعَاهَا بِالأَسْمَاءِ الَّتِي أَطْلَقَهَا عَلَيْهَا أَبُوهُ. ١٨ 18
And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
وَعِنْدَمَا حَفَرَ عَبِيدُ إِسْحاقَ فِي الْوَادِي وَعَثَرُوا عَلَى بِئْرِ مَاءٍ جَارٍ، ١٩ 19
And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
خَاصَمَ رُعَاةُ مَدِينَةِ جَرَارَ رُعَاةَ إِسْحاقَ قَائِلِينَ: «هَذَا الْمَاءُ لَنَا». فَدَعَا الْبِئْرَ «عِسِقَ» لأَنَّهُمْ نَازَعُوهُ عَلَيْهَا. ٢٠ 20
And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
ثُمَّ حَفَرُوا بِئْراً أُخْرَى وَتَخَاصَمُوا عَلَيْهَا، فَدَعَاهَا «سِطْنَةَ» (وَمَعْنَاهَا عَدَاوَةٌ). ٢١ 21
And they dug another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
وَانْتَقَلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَحَفَرَ بِئْراً أُخْرَى وَلَمْ يَتَنَازَعُوا عَلَيْهَا، فَدَعَا اسْمَهَا «رَحُوبُوتَ» (وَمَعْنَاهَا الأَمَاكِنُ الرَّحْبَةُ) قَائِلاً: «لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْحَبَ الآنَ لَنَا وَأَثْمَرْنَا فِي الأَرْضِ». ٢٢ 22
And he removed from thence, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
ثُمَّ مَضَى مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. ٢٣ 23
And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
فَتَجَلَّى لَهُ الرَّبُّ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَقَالَ: «أَنَا هُوَ إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكَ. لَا تَخَفْ لأَنِّي مَعَكَ وَأُبَارِكُكَ وَأُكَثِّرُ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَبْدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ». ٢٤ 24
And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham your father: fear not, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
فَشَيَّدَ إِسْحاقُ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً وَدَعَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ، ثُمَّ نَصَبَ هُنَاكَ خَيْمَتَهُ، وَحَفَرَ عَبِيدُهُ بِئْراً. ٢٥ 25
And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants dug a well.
وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ جَرَارَ أَبِيمَالِكُ وَأَحُزَّاتُ مُسْتَشَارُهُ، وَفِيكُولُ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ. ٢٦ 26
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِسْحاقُ: «مَا بَالُكُمْ قَدْ أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَيَّ، وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَبْغَضْتُمُونِي وَصَرَفْتُمُونِي مِنْ عِنْدِكُمْ؟» ٢٧ 27
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come all of you to me, seeing all of you hate me, and have sent me away from you?
فَأَجَابُوهُ: «لَقَدْ تَبَيَّنَ لَنَا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَكَ، فَقُلْنَا: لِيَكُنْ بَيْنَنَا حَلْفٌ وَلْنَقْطَعْ مَعَكَ عَهْداً: ٢٨ 28
And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with you: and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you;
أَنْ لَا تُسِيءَ إِلَيْنَا كَمَا لَمْ نَمَسَّكَ بِشَرٍّ وَلَمْ يُصِبْكَ مِنَّا سِوَى الْخَيْرِ، ثُمَّ صَرَفْنَاكَ بِسَلامٍ. وَهَا أَنْتَ الآنَ مُبَارَكٌ مِنَ الرَّبِّ». ٢٩ 29
That you will do us no hurt, as we have not touched you, and as we have done unto you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace: you are now the blessed of the LORD.
فَأَقَامَ لَهُمْ مَأْدُبَةً فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا. ٣٠ 30
And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
ثُمَّ بَكَّرُوا فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَحَلَفَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ، وَشَيَّعَهُمْ إِسْحاقُ فَانْصَرَفُوا بِسَلامٍ. ٣١ 31
And they rose up early in the morning, and swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
وَفِي نَفْسِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ جَاءَ عَبِيدُ إِسْحاقَ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّنَا عَثَرْنَا عَلَى مَاءٍ فِي الْبِئْرِ الَّتِي حَفَرْنَاهَا». ٣٢ 32
And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said unto him, We have found water.
فَدَعَاهَا شِبْعَةَ، لِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. ٣٣ 33
And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ عِيسُو الأَرْبَعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ تَزَوَّجَ كُلًّا مِنْ يَهُودِيتَ بِنْتِ بِيرِي الْحِثِّيِّ، وَبَسْمَةَ بِنْتِ إِيلُونَ الْحِثِّيِّ. ٣٤ 34
And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
فَأَتْعَسَتَا حَيَاةَ إِسْحاقَ وَرِفْقَةَ. ٣٥ 35
Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
