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, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2 Jahve mu se ukaza i reče: “Ne silazi u Egipat: boravi u zemlji koju ću ti označiti.
And Yhwh appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; 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.
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
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 make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 a to zato što je Abraham slušao moj glas i pokoravao se mojim zapovijedima, mojim zakonima i odredbama!”
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 Tako Izak ostane u Geraru.
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
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 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.
8 Kako su se ondje duže zadržali, kralj Filistejaca Abimelek jednom pogleda kroz prozor i opazi kako Izak miluje svoju ženu Rebeku.
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.
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, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
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, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness 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, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Izak je sijao u onom kraju i one godine urodilo mu stostruko. Jahve ga blagoslivljao
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: And Yhwh blessed him.
13 te je čovjek bivao sve bogatiji, dok nije postao vrlo bogat.
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 Stekao je stada ovaca i goveda i mnogu služinčad, tako da su mu Filistejci zavidjeli.
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines 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.
For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had 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 unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17 Tako Izak ode odande, postavi svoj šator u gerarskoj dolini i nastani se ondje.
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, 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 digged again the wells of water, which they had digged 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.
19 Ali kad su Izakove sluge, dok su u dolini kopale, ondje našle bunar sa živom vodom,
And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing 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 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.
21 A kad su iskopali drugi bunar te se i zbog njega svađali, nazva ga imenom Sitna.
And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
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 removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now Yhwh hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 Odande se popne u Beer Šebu.
And he went up from thence to Beer–sheba.
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 Yhwh appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
25 Izak tu podigne žrtvenik i zazove Jahvu po imenu; postavi ondje svoj šator, a njegove sluge počnu kopati bunar.
And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of Yhwh, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
26 Uto mu dođe Abimelek iz Gerara sa svojim savjetnikom Ahuzatom i s Fikolom, zapovjednikom vojske.
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain 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 unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have 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 saw certainly that Yhwh was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us 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 wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of Yhwh.
30 On im priredi gozbu te su jeli i pili.
And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
31 Rano ujutro jedni se drugima zakunu. Potom ih Izak otpusti i oni od njega odu u miru.
And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
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 the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
33 On ga prozva Šiba. Zato je ime onom gradu do danas - Beer Šeba.
And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beer–sheba unto 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 when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
35 One postadoše izvor ogorčenja Izaku i Rebeki.
Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
