Genesis 26

1 Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.

Maka timbullah kelaparan di negeri itu. --Ini bukan kelaparan yang pertama, yang telah terjadi dalam zaman Abraham. Sebab itu Ishak pergi ke Gerar, kepada Abimelekh, raja orang Filistin.

2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.

Lalu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepadanya serta berfirman: "Janganlah pergi ke Mesir, diamlah di negeri yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu.

3 Stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.

Tinggallah di negeri ini sebagai orang asing, maka Aku akan menyertai engkau dan memberkati engkau, sebab kepadamulah dan kepada keturunanmu akan Kuberikan seluruh negeri ini, dan Aku akan menepati sumpah yang telah Kuikrarkan kepada Abraham, ayahmu.

4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,

Aku akan membuat banyak keturunanmu seperti bintang di langit; Aku akan memberikan kepada keturunanmu seluruh negeri ini, dan oleh keturunanmu semua bangsa di bumi akan mendapat berkat,

5 because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

karena Abraham telah mendengarkan firman-Ku dan memelihara kewajibannya kepada-Ku, yaitu segala perintah, ketetapan dan hukum-Ku."

6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.

Jadi tinggallah Ishak di Gerar.

7 But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of this place will kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”

Ketika orang-orang di tempat itu bertanya tentang isterinya, berkatalah ia: "Dia saudaraku," sebab ia takut mengatakan: "Ia isteriku," karena pikirnya: "Jangan-jangan aku dibunuh oleh penduduk tempat ini karena Ribka, sebab elok parasnya."

8 When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.

Setelah beberapa lama ia ada di sana, pada suatu kali menjenguklah Abimelekh, raja orang Filistin itu dari jendela, maka dilihatnya Ishak sedang bercumbu-cumbuan dengan Ribka, isterinya.

9 Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”

Lalu Abimelekh memanggil Ishak dan berkata: "Sesungguhnya dia isterimu, masakan engkau berkata: Dia saudaraku?" Jawab Ishak kepadanya: "Karena pikirku: Jangan-jangan aku mati karena dia."

10 “What is this you have done to us?” asked Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”

Tetapi Abimelekh berkata: "Apakah juga yang telah kauperbuat ini terhadap kami? Mudah sekali terjadi, salah seorang dari bangsa ini tidur dengan isterimu, sehingga dengan demikian engkau mendatangkan kesalahan atas kami."

11 So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

Lalu Abimelekh memberi perintah kepada seluruh bangsa itu: "Siapa yang mengganggu orang ini atau isterinya, pastilah ia akan dihukum mati."

12 Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

Maka menaburlah Ishak di tanah itu dan dalam tahun itu juga ia mendapat hasil seratus kali lipat; sebab ia diberkati TUHAN.

13 and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

Dan orang itu menjadi kaya, bahkan kian lama kian kaya, sehingga ia menjadi sangat kaya.

14 He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

Ia mempunyai kumpulan kambing domba dan lembu sapi serta banyak anak buah, sehingga orang Filistin itu cemburu kepadanya.

15 So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.

Segala sumur, yang digali dalam zaman Abraham, ayahnya, oleh hamba-hamba ayahnya itu, telah ditutup oleh orang Filistin dan ditimbun dengan tanah.

16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

Lalu kata Abimelekh kepada Ishak: "Pergilah dari tengah-tengah kami sebab engkau telah menjadi jauh lebih berkuasa dari pada kami."

17 So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.

Jadi pergilah Ishak dari situ dan berkemahlah ia di lembah Gerar, dan ia menetap di situ.

18 Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.

Kemudian Ishak menggali kembali sumur-sumur yang digali dalam zaman Abraham, ayahnya, dan yang telah ditutup oleh orang Filistin sesudah Abraham mati; disebutkannyalah nama sumur-sumur itu menurut nama-nama yang telah diberikan oleh ayahnya.

19 Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.

Ketika hamba-hamba Ishak menggali di lembah itu, mereka mendapati di situ mata air yang berbual-bual airnya.

20 But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.

Lalu bertengkarlah para gembala Gerar dengan para gembala Ishak. Kata mereka: "Air ini kepunyaan kami." Dan Ishak menamai sumur itu Esek, karena mereka bertengkar dengan dia di sana.

21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

Kemudian mereka menggali sumur lain, dan mereka bertengkar juga tentang itu. Maka Ishak menamai sumur itu Sitna.

22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”

Ia pindah dari situ dan menggali sumur yang lain lagi, tetapi tentang sumur ini mereka tidak bertengkar. Sumur ini dinamainya Rehobot, dan ia berkata: "Sekarang TUHAN telah memberikan kelonggaran kepada kita, sehingga kita dapat beranak cucu di negeri ini."

23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,

Dari situ ia pergi ke Bersyeba.

24 and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”

Lalu pada malam itu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepadanya serta berfirman: "Akulah Allah ayahmu Abraham; janganlah takut, sebab Aku menyertai engkau; Aku akan memberkati engkau dan membuat banyak keturunanmu karena Abraham, hamba-Ku itu."

25 So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.

Sesudah itu Ishak mendirikan mezbah di situ dan memanggil nama TUHAN. Ia memasang kemahnya di situ, lalu hamba-hambanya menggali sumur di situ.

26 Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

Datanglah Abimelekh dari Gerar mendapatkannya, bersama-sama dengan Ahuzat, sahabatnya, dan Pikhol, kepala pasukannya.

27 “Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”

Tetapi kata Ishak kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu datang mendapatkan aku? Bukankah kamu benci kepadaku, dan telah menyuruh aku keluar dari tanahmu?"

28 “We can plainly see that the LORD has been with you,” they replied. “We recommend that there should now be an oath between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you

Jawab mereka: "Kami telah melihat sendiri, bahwa TUHAN menyertai engkau; sebab itu kami berkata: baiklah kita mengadakan sumpah setia, antara kami dan engkau; dan baiklah kami mengikat perjanjian dengan engkau,

29 that you will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only good to you, sending you on your way in peace. And now you are blessed by the LORD.”

bahwa engkau tidak akan berbuat jahat kepada kami, seperti kami tidak mengganggu engkau, dan seperti kami semata-mata berbuat baik kepadamu dan membiarkan engkau pergi dengan damai; bukankah engkau sekarang yang diberkati TUHAN."

30 So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

Kemudian Ishak mengadakan perjamuan bagi mereka, lalu mereka makan dan minum.

31 And they got up early the next morning and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.

Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi bersumpah-sumpahanlah mereka. Kemudian Ishak melepas mereka, dan mereka meninggalkan dia dengan damai.

32 On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.

Pada hari itu datanglah hamba-hamba Ishak memberitahukan kepadanya tentang sumur yang telah digali mereka, serta berkata kepadanya: "Kami telah mendapat air."

33 So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.

Lalu dinamainyalah sumur itu Syeba. Sebab itu nama kota itu adalah Bersyeba, sampai sekarang.

34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

Ketika Esau telah berumur empat puluh tahun, ia mengambil Yudit, anak Beeri orang Het, dan Basmat, anak Elon orang Het, menjadi isterinya.

35 And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.

Kedua perempuan itu menimbulkan kepedihan hati bagi Ishak dan bagi Ribka.
