Genesis 26
1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.
Og der var Hunger i Landet, foruden den forrige Hunger, som var i Abrahams Tid, og Isak drog til Abimelek, Filisternes Konge i Gerar.
2 And Jehovah appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
Da aabenbaredes Herren for ham og sagde: Drag ikke ned til Ægypten, bo i det Land, hvilket jeg siger dig.
3 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 lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
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.
4 and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
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,
5 because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
fordi Abraham lød min Røst og bevarede det, jeg vil have bevaret, mine Bud, mine Skikke og mine Love.
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
Saa boede Isak i Gerar.
7 and the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, My wife; lest, [said he], the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
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.
8 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.
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.
9 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 because of her.
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.
10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might easily have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
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.
11 And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
Saa bød Abimelek alt Folket og sagde: Hvo, som rører ved denne Mand og ved hans Hustru, skal visselig dødes.
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold: and Jehovah blessed him.
Og Isak saaede der i Landet og fik samme Aar hundrede Fold, og Herren velsignede ham.
13 And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great:
Og Manden blev mægtig og gik frem og blev mægtig, indtil han blev saare mægtig.
14 and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him.
Og han ejede Faar og ejede Kvæg og mange Tyende; derfor bare Filisterne Avind mod ham.
15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
Og alle Brøndene, som hans Faders Tjenere havde gravet i Abrahams, hans Faders Tid, dem tilstoppede Filisterne og fyldte dem med Jord.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
Og Abimelek sagde til Isak: Drag fra os; thi du er bleven os alt for mægtig.
17 And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Saa drog Isak derfra og slog Telt i Dalen Gerar og boede der.
18 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.
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.
19 And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Saa grove Isaks Tjenere i Dalen og fandt der en Brønd med levende Vande.
20 And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
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.
21 And they digged another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
Saa grove de en anden Brønd, og de kivedes og om den; derfor kaldte de dens Navn Sitna.
22 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 Jehovah hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
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.
23 And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
Og han drog op derfra til Beersaba.
24 And Jehovah 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.
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.
25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
Saa byggede han der et Alter og paakaldte Herrens Navn og opslog der sit Telt, og Isaks Tjenere grove der en Brønd.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host.
Og Abimelek drog til ham fra Gerar med Akusat sin Ven og Pikol sin Stridshøvedsmand.
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
Da sagde Isak til dem: Hvi komme I til mig, da I dog have hadet mig og drevet mig fra Eder?
28 And they said, We saw plainly that Jehovah was with thee: and we said, Let there now be an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,
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,
29 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 Jehovah.
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.
30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
Saa gjorde han dem et Gæstebud, og de aade og drak.
31 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.
Og de stode tidlig op om Morgenen og tilsvore hinanden gensidig, og Isak ledsagede dem, og de droge fra ham i Fred.
32 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.
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.
33 And he called it Shibah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.
Og han kaldte den Skibea, deraf er Stadens Navn Beersaba indtil denne Dag.
34 And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Og Esau var fyrretyve Aar gammel og tog en Hustru, Judith, Beeriden Hethiters Datter, og Basmat, Elon den Hethiters Datter.
35 and they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
Og de vare Aands Bitterhed for Isak og Rebekka.
