1 Mosebog 26
1 Og der var Hunger i Landet, foruden den forrige Hunger, som var i Abrahams Tid, og Isak drog til Abimelek, Filisternes Konge i Gerar.
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 Da aabenbaredes Herren for ham og sagde: Drag ikke ned til Ægypten, bo i det Land, hvilket jeg siger dig.
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 Vær en Udlænding i dette Land, og jeg vil være med dig og velsigne dig; thi dig og din Sæd vil jeg give alle disse Lande og stadfæste den Ed, som jeg har svoret Abraham, din Fader.
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 Og jeg vil gøre din Sæd mangfoldig som Stjernerne paa Himmelen og give din Sæd alle disse Lande, og i din Sæd skulle alle Folk paa Jorden velsignes,
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 fordi Abraham lød min Røst og bevarede det, jeg vil have bevaret, mine Bud, mine Skikke og mine Love.
Because Abraam thy father hearkened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.
6 Saa boede Isak i Gerar.
And Isaac dwelt in Gerara.
7 Og de Mænd paa samme Sted spurgte om hans Hustru; da sagde han: Hun er min Søster; thi han frygtede at sige: Hun er min Hustru, idet han tænkte, at ikke Mændene paa dette Sted maaske skulle slaa mig ihjel for Rebekkas Skyld, thi hun var dejlig af Anseelse.
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 Og det skete, der han havde boet der en Tid lang, saa Abimelek, Filisternes Konge, ud igennem Vinduet og saa, og se, Isak legede med Rebekka, sin Hustru.
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 Da kaldte Abimelek ad Isak og sagde: Visselig, se, hun er din Hustru, og hvorledes har du sagt: hun er min Søster? Og Isak sagde til ham: Thi jeg tænkte: Maaske jeg maatte slaas ihjel for hendes Skyld.
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 Da sagde Abimelek: Hvi har du gjort os dette? En af Folket kunde snart have ligget hos din Hustru, saa havde du ført Skyld over os.
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 Saa bød Abimelek alt Folket og sagde: Hvo, som rører ved denne Mand og ved hans Hustru, skal visselig dødes.
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.
12 Og Isak saaede der i Landet og fik samme Aar hundrede Fold, og Herren velsignede ham.
And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.
13 Og Manden blev mægtig og gik frem og blev mægtig, indtil han blev saare mægtig.
And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
14 Og han ejede Faar og ejede Kvæg og mange Tyende; derfor bare Filisterne Avind mod ham.
And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.
15 Og alle Brøndene, som hans Faders Tjenere havde gravet i Abrahams, hans Faders Tid, dem tilstoppede Filisterne og fyldte dem med Jord.
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 Og Abimelek sagde til Isak: Drag fra os; thi du er bleven os alt for mægtig.
And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
17 Saa drog Isak derfra og slog Telt i Dalen Gerar og boede der.
And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and dwelt there.
18 Og Isak lod igen de Vandbrønde opgrave, som de havde gravet i Abrahams, hans Faders Tid, og som Filisterne havde tilstoppet efter Abrahams Død, og han gav dem Navne efter de Navne, som hans Fader havde kaldet dem.
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 Saa grove Isaks Tjenere i Dalen og fandt der en Brønd med levende Vande.
And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.
20 Men Hyrderne af Gerar kivedes med Isaks Hyrder og sagde: Vandet hører os til; saa kaldte han den Brønds Navn Esek, thi de kivedes med ham.
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 Saa grove de en anden Brønd, og de kivedes og om den; derfor kaldte de dens Navn Sitna.
And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.
22 Da flyttede han derfra og grov en anden Brønd, og de kivedes ikke om den, og han kaldte dens Navn Rekoboth og sagde: thi nu har Herren gjort Rum for os, og vi ere voksede i Landet.
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 Og han drog op derfra til Beersaba.
And he went up thence to the well of the oath.
24 Og Herren aabenbaredes for ham i den samme Nat og sagde: Jeg er din Fader Abrahams Gud; frygt ikke, thi jeg er med dig og vil velsigne dig og formere din Sæd for min Tjener Abrahams Skyld.
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 Saa byggede han der et Alter og paakaldte Herrens Navn og opslog der sit Telt, og Isaks Tjenere grove der en Brønd.
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 Og Abimelek drog til ham fra Gerar med Akusat sin Ven og Pikol sin Stridshøvedsmand.
And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.
27 Da sagde Isak til dem: Hvi komme I til mig, da I dog have hadet mig og drevet mig fra Eder?
And Isaac said to them, Wherefore have ye come to me? whereas ye hated me, and sent me away from you.
28 Og de svarede: Vi se klarligen, at Herren er med dig; derfor sagde vi: Kære, lad være en Ed imellem os, imellem os og dig, og vi ville gøre et Forbund med dig,
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 at du ikke skal gøre ondt imod os, ligesom vi ikke have rørt dig, og ligesom vi ikke have gjort dig andet end godt, og vi lode dig fare i Fred; du er nu Herrens velsignede.
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 Saa gjorde han dem et Gæstebud, og de aade og drak.
And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31 Og de stode tidlig op om Morgenen og tilsvore hinanden gensidig, og Isak ledsagede dem, og de droge fra ham i Fred.
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 Og det skete, paa den samme Dag kom Isaks Tjenere og forkyndte ham angaaende den Brønd, som de havde gravet, og de sagde til ham: Vi have fundet Vand.
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 Og han kaldte den Skibea, deraf er Stadens Navn Beersaba indtil denne Dag.
And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.
34 Og Esau var fyrretyve Aar gammel og tog en Hustru, Judith, Beeriden Hethiters Datter, og Basmat, Elon den Hethiters Datter.
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 Og de vare Aands Bitterhed for Isak og Rebekka.
And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
