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 is a famine in the land, besides the first famine which was in the days of Abraham, and Isaac goeth unto 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 Jehovah appeareth unto him, and saith, 'Go not down towards Egypt, tabernacle in the land concerning which I speak unto thee,

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 am with thee, and bless thee, for to thee and to thy seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to 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 have multiplied thy seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to thy seed all these lands; and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth;

5 a to zato što je Abraham slušao moj glas i pokoravao se mojim zapovijedima, mojim zakonima i odredbama!”

because that Abraham hath hearkened to My voice, and keepeth My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.'

6 Tako Izak ostane u Geraru.

And Isaac dwelleth 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 men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith, 'She [is] my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, 'My wife — lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is] of good appearance.'

8 Kako su se ondje duže zadržali, kralj Filistejaca Abimelek jednom pogleda kroz prozor i opazi kako Izak miluje svoju ženu Rebeku.

And it cometh to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looketh through the window, and seeth, and lo, Isaac is playing 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 calleth for Isaac, and saith, 'Lo, she [is] surely thy wife; and how hast thou said, She [is] my sister?' and Isaac saith 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 saith, 'What [is] this thou hast done to us? as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us guilt;'

11 Onda Abimelek izda naredbu svemu narodu: “Tko se god dotakne ovog čovjeka i njegove žene, glavu će izgubiti.”

and Abimelech commandeth all the people, saying, 'He who cometh against this man or against his wife, dying doth die.'

12 Izak je sijao u onom kraju i one godine urodilo mu stostruko. Jahve ga blagoslivljao

And Isaac soweth in that land, and findeth in that year a hundredfold, and Jehovah blesseth him;

13 te je čovjek bivao sve bogatiji, dok nije postao vrlo bogat.

and the man is great, and goeth on, going on and becoming great, till that he hath been very great,

14 Stekao je stada ovaca i goveda i mnogu služinčad, tako da su mu Filistejci zavidjeli.

and he hath possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy 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 his father's servants digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines have stopped them, and fill them with dust.

16 Onda Abimelek reče Izaku: “Idi od nas jer si postao mnogo moćniji od nas!”

And Abimelech saith unto Isaac, 'Go from us; for thou hast become much mightier than we;'

17 Tako Izak ode odande, postavi svoj šator u gerarskoj dolini i nastani se ondje.

and Isaac goeth from thence, and encampeth in the valley of Gerar, and dwelleth 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 turneth back, and diggeth the wells of water which they digged in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines do stop after the death of Abraham, and he calleth to them names according to the names which his father called them.

19 Ali kad su Izakove sluge, dok su u dolini kopale, ondje našle bunar sa živom vodom,

And Isaac's servants dig in the valley, and find 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 shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, 'The water [is] ours;' and he calleth the name of the well 'Strife,' because they have striven habitually with him;

21 A kad su iskopali drugi bunar te se i zbog njega svađali, nazva ga imenom Sitna.

and they dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calleth its name 'Hatred.'

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 removeth from thence, and diggeth another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calleth its name Enlargements, and saith, 'For — now hath Jehovah given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.'

23 Odande se popne u Beer Šebu.

And he goeth 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 Jehovah appeareth unto him during that night, and saith, 'I [am] the God of Abraham thy father, fear not, for I [am] with thee, and have blessed thee, and have multiplied thy seed, because of Abraham My servant;'

25 Izak tu podigne žrtvenik i zazove Jahvu po imenu; postavi ondje svoj šator, a njegove sluge počnu kopati bunar.

and he buildeth there an altar, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah, and stretcheth out there his tent, and there Isaac's servants dig a well.

26 Uto mu dođe Abimelek iz Gerara sa svojim savjetnikom Ahuzatom i s Fikolom, zapovjednikom vojske.

And Abimelech hath gone unto him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol head of his host;

27 Izak ih upita: “Zašto ste došli k meni kad me mrzite i kad ste me otjerali od sebe?”

and Isaac saith unto them, 'Wherefore have ye come unto me, and ye have hated me, and ye send 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 say, 'We have certainly seen that Jehovah hath been with thee, and we say, 'Let there be, we pray thee, an oath between us, between 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.”

do not evil with us, as we have not touched thee, and as we have only done good with thee, and send thee away in peace; thou [art] now blessed of Jehovah.'

30 On im priredi gozbu te su jeli i pili.

And he maketh for them a banquet, and they eat and drink,

31 Rano ujutro jedni se drugima zakunu. Potom ih Izak otpusti i oni od njega odu u miru.

and rise early in the morning, and swear one to another, and Isaac sendeth them away, and they go 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 cometh to pass during that day that Isaac's servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances of the well which they have digged, and say to him, 'We have found water;'

33 On ga prozva Šiba. Zato je ime onom gradu do danas - Beer Šeba.

and he calleth it Shebah, [oath, ] therefore the name of the city [is] Beer-Sheba, [well of the oath, ] unto this day.

34 Kad je Ezavu bilo četrdeset godina, uzme za ženu Juditu, kćer Hetita Beerija, i Basematu, kćer Hetita Elona.

And Esau is a son of forty years, and he taketh a wife, Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite,

35 One postadoše izvor ogorčenja Izaku i Rebeki.

and they are a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
