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, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham; and Isaac went unto Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.
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 unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; 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.
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, will I give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father;
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 cause thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and I will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves.
5 fordi Abraham lød min Røst og bevarede det, jeg vil have bevaret, mine Bud, mine Skikke og mine Love.
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 Saa boede Isak i Gerar.
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
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 asked [him] concerning 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 is of a handsome appearance.
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 it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, looked out at a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah 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, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I thought, Perhaps I may die for her.
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, What is this thou hast done unto us? How easily might one of the people have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldst have brought guiltiness 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, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Og Isak saaede der i Landet og fik samme Aar hundrede Fold, og Herren velsignede ham.
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundred-fold: so the Lord blessed him.
13 Og Manden blev mægtig og gik frem og blev mægtig, indtil han blev saare mægtig.
And the man became great, and went forward and grew, until he became very great;
14 Og han ejede Faar og ejede Kvæg og mange Tyende; derfor bare Filisterne Avind mod ham.
And he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants; and the Philistines 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 his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, these the Philistines stopped, 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 unto Isaac, Go away from us; for thou hast become much mightier than we.
17 Saa drog Isak derfra og slog Telt i Dalen Gerar og boede der.
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, 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 they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called 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, and found there a well of springing 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 herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Essek; because they strove with him.
21 Saa grove de en anden Brønd, og de kivedes og om den; derfor kaldte de dens Navn Sitna.
And they dug another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
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 removed from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rechoboth, and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall increase in the land.
23 Og han drog op derfra til Beersaba.
And he went up from there to Beer-sheba.
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 unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraham my servant.
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 upon the name of the Lord, and pitched there his tent: and the servants of Isaac dug there a well.
26 Og Abimelek drog til ham fra Gerar med Akusat sin Ven og Pikol sin Stridshøvedsmand.
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain 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 unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing that ye do hate me, and have 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 saw clearly that the Lord was with thee; and we said, Let there be now 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 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 one blessed of the Lord.
30 Saa gjorde han dem et Gæstebud, og de aade og drak.
And he made them a feast, 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 rose up betimes in the morning, and they swore one to the other; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
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 the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and they said unto him, We have found water.
33 Og han kaldte den Skibea, deraf er Stadens Navn Beersaba indtil denne Dag.
And he called it Shibah: therefore is the name of the city Beer-sheba unto this day.
34 Og Esau var fyrretyve Aar gammel og tog en Hustru, Judith, Beeriden Hethiters Datter, og Basmat, Elon den Hethiters Datter.
And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Bahsemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 Og de vare Aands Bitterhed for Isak og Rebekka.
And they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
