Postanak 26
1 U zemlji zavlada glad, različita od prijašnje što je bila za vrijeme Abrahama, pa Izak ode Abimeleku, kralju Filistejaca, u Geraru.
There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
2 Jahve mu se ukaza i reče: “Ne silazi u Egipat: boravi u zemlji koju ću ti označiti.
And God appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
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 you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your 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;
I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the sky, and will give to your descendants all these lands, and by your descendants will 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 Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
6 Tako Izak ostane u Geraru.
So Isaac settled 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.”
The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife," lest, he thought, "the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at."
8 Kako su se ondje duže zadržali, kralj Filistejaca Abimelek jednom pogleda kroz prozor i opazi kako Izak miluje svoju ženu Rebeku.
It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and look, Isaac was caressing 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.”
Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Look, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.'"
10 Abimelek reče: “Zašto si nam to učinio? Umalo netko od ljudi nije legao s tvojom ženom. Tako bi na nas svalio krivnju.”
Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us."
11 Onda Abimelek izda naredbu svemu narodu: “Tko se god dotakne ovog čovjeka i njegove žene, glavu će izgubiti.”
Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."
12 Izak je sijao u onom kraju i one godine urodilo mu stostruko. Jahve ga blagoslivljao
Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. And God blessed him.
13 te je čovjek bivao sve bogatiji, dok nije postao vrlo bogat.
The man became wealthy, and prospered more and more until he became very wealthy.
14 Stekao je stada ovaca i goveda i mnogu služinčad, tako da su mu Filistejci zavidjeli.
He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. 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.
Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
16 Onda Abimelek reče Izaku: “Idi od nas jer si postao mnogo moćniji od nas!”
Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."
17 Tako Izak ode odande, postavi svoj šator u gerarskoj dolini i nastani se ondje.
Isaac departed from there, camped in the valley of Gerar, and lived 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.
Isaac dug again the wells which the servants of his father Abraham had dug. 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,
Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing 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.
The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 A kad su iskopali drugi bunar te se i zbog njega svađali, nazva ga imenom Sitna.
They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name 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.”
He left that place, and dug another well. They did not argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now God has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."
23 Odande se popne u Beer Šebu.
He went up from there to Beersheba.
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 God appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your descendants 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.
He built an altar there, and called on the name of YHWH, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac's servants dug 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 his friend, and Phicol the commander of his army.
27 Izak ih upita: “Zašto ste došli k meni kad me mrzite i kad ste me otjerali od sebe?”
Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you 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:
They said, "We saw plainly that God was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,
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 you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.' You are now the blessed of God."
30 On im priredi gozbu te su jeli i pili.
He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31 Rano ujutro jedni se drugima zakunu. Potom ih Izak otpusti i oni od njega odu u miru.
They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to each other. 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.”
It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."
33 On ga prozva Šiba. Zato je ime onom gradu do danas - Beer Šeba.
He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
34 Kad je Ezavu bilo četrdeset godina, uzme za ženu Juditu, kćer Hetita Beerija, i Basematu, kćer Hetita Elona.
When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hethite.
35 One postadoše izvor ogorčenja Izaku i Rebeki.
They brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
