Postanak 26
1 U zemlji zavlada glad, različita od prijašnje što je bila za vrijeme Abrahama, pa Izak ode Abimeleku, kralju Filistejaca, u Geraru.
And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.
2 Jahve mu se ukaza i reče: “Ne silazi u Egipat: boravi u zemlji koju ću ti označiti.
And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell thee of.
3 U ovoj se zemlji nastani, ja ću s tobom biti i blagoslivljati te; tebi i tvome potomstvu dat ću sve ove krajeve, da izvršim zakletvu kojom sam se zakleo tvome ocu Abrahamu.
And sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee, and bless thee, for I will give to thee and to thy seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to thy father Abraam.
4 Tvoje ću potomstvo umnožiti kao zvijezde na nebesima i tvome ću potomstvu predati sve ove krajeve, tako da će se tvojim potomstvom blagoslivljati svi narodi zemlje;
And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to thy seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in thy seed.
5 a to zato što je Abraham slušao moj glas i pokoravao se mojim zapovijedima, mojim zakonima i odredbama!”
Because Abraam thy father hearkened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.
6 Tako Izak ostane u Geraru.
And Isaac dwelt in Gerara.
7 Kad su ga mještani pitali o njegovoj ženi, reče: “Ona mi je sestra.” Bojao se reći: “Ona mi je žena”, misleći: “Mještani bi me mogli ubiti zbog Rebeke jer je lijepa.”
And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should slay him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.
8 Kako su se ondje duže zadržali, kralj Filistejaca Abimelek jednom pogleda kroz prozor i opazi kako Izak miluje svoju ženu Rebeku.
And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.
9 Nato Abimelek pozove Izaka te reče: “Tako, ona ti je žena! Kako si mogao reći da ti je sestra?” Izak mu odgovori: “Jer sam mislio da bih zbog nje mogao poginuti.”
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then thy wife? why hast thou said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.
10 Abimelek reče: “Zašto si nam to učinio? Umalo netko od ljudi nije legao s tvojom ženom. Tako bi na nas svalio krivnju.”
And Abimelech said to him, Why hast thou done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought [a sin of] ignorance upon us.
11 Onda Abimelek izda naredbu svemu narodu: “Tko se god dotakne ovog čovjeka i njegove žene, glavu će izgubiti.”
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.
12 Izak je sijao u onom kraju i one godine urodilo mu stostruko. Jahve ga blagoslivljao
And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.
13 te je čovjek bivao sve bogatiji, dok nije postao vrlo bogat.
And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
14 Stekao je stada ovaca i goveda i mnogu služinčad, tako da su mu Filistejci zavidjeli.
And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.
15 Zato Filistejci zasuše sve bunare što su ih sluge njegova oca bile iskopale - u vrijeme njegova oca Abrahama - i napuniše ih zemljom.
And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 Onda Abimelek reče Izaku: “Idi od nas jer si postao mnogo moćniji od nas!”
And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
17 Tako Izak ode odande, postavi svoj šator u gerarskoj dolini i nastani se ondje.
And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and dwelt there.
18 Izak opet iskopa bunare za vodu što su bili iskopani u vrijeme njegova oca Abrahama, a Filistejci ih bili zasuli poslije Abrahamove smrti. On ih je nazvao istim imenima kojima ih je zvao i njegov otac.
And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.
19 Ali kad su Izakove sluge, dok su u dolini kopale, ondje našle bunar sa živom vodom,
And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.
20 pastiri iz Gerara posvade se s Izakovim pastirima govoreći: “Naša je voda!” Bunaru je dao ime Esek, jer su se oni s njim svadili.
And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him.
21 A kad su iskopali drugi bunar te se i zbog njega svađali, nazva ga imenom Sitna.
And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.
22 Odatle se preseli pa iskopa drugi bunar. Zbog njega se nisu svađali, pa ga nazove imenom Rehobot i protumači: “Jer nam je Jahve dao prostor da se na zemlji umnožimo.”
And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.
23 Odande se popne u Beer Šebu.
And he went up thence to the well of the oath.
24 Iste mu se noći ukaže Jahve i reče: “Ja sam Bog oca tvoga Abrahama. Ne boj se, ja sam s tobom! Blagoslovit ću te, potomke ti umnožit, zbog Abrahama, sluge svojega.”
And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraam thy father.
25 Izak tu podigne žrtvenik i zazove Jahvu po imenu; postavi ondje svoj šator, a njegove sluge počnu kopati bunar.
And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.
26 Uto mu dođe Abimelek iz Gerara sa svojim savjetnikom Ahuzatom i s Fikolom, zapovjednikom vojske.
And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.
27 Izak ih upita: “Zašto ste došli k meni kad me mrzite i kad ste me otjerali od sebe?”
And Isaac said to them, Wherefore have ye come to me? whereas ye hated me, and sent me away from you.
28 Oni odgovore: “Jasno vidimo da je Jahve s tobom. Stoga pomislismo: neka zakletva bude veza između nas i tebe. Daj da s tobom sklopimo savez:
And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with thee, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and thee, and we will make a covenant with thee,
29 ti nama nećeš zla nanositi, kao što mi tebe nismo zlostavljali, nego uvijek prema tebi lijepo postupali i s mirom te otpustili. A blagoslov Jahvin bio nad tobom.”
that thou shalt do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred thee, and according as we have treated thee well, and have sent thee forth peaceably; and now thou art blessed of the Lord.
30 On im priredi gozbu te su jeli i pili.
And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31 Rano ujutro jedni se drugima zakunu. Potom ih Izak otpusti i oni od njega odu u miru.
And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.
32 Toga istog dana dođu Izakove sluge i obavijeste ga o bunaru što su ga iskopali te mu reknu: “Našli smo vodu.”
And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.
33 On ga prozva Šiba. Zato je ime onom gradu do danas - Beer Šeba.
And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.
34 Kad je Ezavu bilo četrdeset godina, uzme za ženu Juditu, kćer Hetita Beerija, i Basematu, kćer Hetita Elona.
And Esau was forty years old; and he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.
35 One postadoše izvor ogorčenja Izaku i Rebeki.
And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
