< Genesis 26 >

1 Then, when a famine arose over the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, in Gerar.
Un bads bija tai zemē pēc tā pirmā bada, kas bija Ābrahāma laikā. Un Īzaks nogāja uz Ģeraru pie Abimeleha, Fīlistu ķēniņa.
2 And the Lord appeared to him, and he said: “Do not descend into Egypt, but rest in the land that I will tell you,
Un Tas Kungs viņam parādījās un sacīja: nenoej uz Ēģipti, mīti tai zemē, ko Es tev saku.
3 and sojourn in it, and I will be with you, and I will bless you. For to you and to your offspring I will give all these regions, completing the oath that I promised to Abraham your father.
Piemājo šinī zemē, un Es būšu ar tevi, un Es tevi svētīšu; jo tev un tavam dzimumam Es došu visas šās zemes un piepildīšu to zvērestu, ko Es tavam tēvam Ābrahāmam esmu zvērējis.
4 And I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And I will give to your posterity all these regions. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
Un Es vairošu tavu dzimumu kā debess zvaigznes un došu tavam dzimumam visas šās zemes, un iekš tavas sēklas visas zemes tautas svētīsies, -
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”
Tāpēc ka Ābrahāms Manai balsij ir klausījis un turējis Manas pavēles, Manus iestādījumus, likumus un baušļus.
6 And so Isaac remained in Gerar.
Tā Īzaks mita Ģerarā.
7 And when he was questioned by the men of that place about his wife, he answered, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to confess her to be his mate, thinking that perhaps they would put him to death because of her beauty.
Un tās vietas ļaudis vaicāja par viņa sievu, - un viņš sacīja: tā ir mana māsa, jo viņam bija bail sacīt: tā ir mana sieva, - lai tās vietas ļaudis mani nenokauj Rebekas dēļ, jo tā bija skaista vaigā.
8 And when very many days had passed, and he had remained in the same place, Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, gazing through a window, saw him being playful with Rebekah, his wife.
Un kad viņš labu laiku tur bija dzīvojis, tad Abimelehs, Fīlistu ķēniņš, skatījās pa logu, un redz, Īzaks smējās ar savu sievu Rebeku.
9 And summoning him, he said: “It is clear that she is your wife. Why did you falsely claim her to be your sister?” He answered, “I was afraid, lest I might die because of her.”
Tad Abimelehs aicināja Īzaku un sacīja: redzi, tiešām tā ir tava sieva, kā tad tu esi sacījis, tā ir mana māsa? Un Īzaks uz to sacīja: tāpēc ka es domāju, lai man viņas dēļ nebūtu jāmirst.
10 And Abimelech said: “Why have you burdened us? Someone from the people could have lain with your wife, and you would have brought a great sin upon us.” And he instructed all the people, saying,
Tad Abimelehs sacīja: kāpēc tu mums to esi darījis? Gandrīz viens no šiem ļaudīm būtu varējis gulēt pie tavas sievas, tad tu mums būtu uzvedis noziegumu.
11 “Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”
Un Abimelehs pavēlēja visiem ļaudīm sacīdams: kas šo vīru vai viņa sievu aizskar, tam būs mirt.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
Un Īzaks sēja tanī zemē un dabūja tai gadā simtkārtīgus augļus, jo Tas Kungs to svētīja.
13 And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
Un tas vīrs tapa liels un auga augumā, kamēr viņš palika ļoti liels.
14 Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
Un tam bija manta no sīkiem un manta no lieliem lopiem un daudz saimes, un Fīlisti viņu apskauda.
15 so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
Un visas akas, ko viņa tēva kalpi bija rakuši viņa tēva Ābrahāma laikā, tās Fīlisti aizbēra un pildīja ar smiltīm.
16 It reached a point where Abimelech himself said to Isaac, “Move away from us, for you have become very much more powerful than we.”
Un Abimelehs sacīja uz Īzaku: ej projām no mums, jo tu esi palicis jo varenāks nekā mēs.
17 And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
Tad Īzaks no turienes aizgāja un nometās Ģeraras ielejā, un dzīvoja tur.
18 Again, he dug up other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had dug, and which, after his death, the Philistines had formerly obstructed. And he called them by the same names that his father had called them before.
Un Īzaks atkal atraka tās ūdens akas, kas bija raktas viņa tēva Ābrahāma laikā, un ko Fīlisti pēc tam bija aizbēruši, kad Ābrahāms bija miris, un viņš viņu vārdus nosauca pēc tiem vārdiem, ar ko viņa tēvs tās bija nosaucis.
19 And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.
Un Īzaka kalpi raka tanī ielejā un tur atrada aku ar dzīvu ūdeni.
20 But in that place also the shepherds of Gerar argued against the shepherds of Isaac, by saying, “It is our water.” For this reason, he called the name of the well, because of what had happened, ‘Calumny.’
Bet Ģeraras gani bārās ar Īzaka ganiem sacīdami: šis ūdens mums pieder. Tad viņš tās akas vārdu nosauca Eseku (strīdus), tāpēc ka tie ar viņu bija strīdējušies.
21 Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’
Tad tie raka citu aku, un par to arīdzan bārās; tāpēc viņš viņas vārdu nosauca Sitna (sūdzība).
22 Advancing from there, he dug another well, over which they did not contend. And so he called its name, ‘Latitude,’ saying, “Now the Lord has expanded us and caused us to increase across the land.”
Un viņš cēlās no turienes un raka citu aku, un tie par to nebārās; tad viņš viņas vārdu nosauca Rehobot (platums) un sacīja: jo nu Tas Kungs mūs ir izplatījis, un mēs esam augļojušies šinī zemē.
23 Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
Tad viņš no turienes gāja augšup uz Bēršebu.
24 where the Lord appeared to him on the same night, saying: “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring because of my servant Abraham.”
Un Tas Kungs viņam parādījās tanī naktī un sacīja: Es esmu Ābrahāma, tava tēva Dievs; nebīsties, jo Es esmu ar tevi un tevi svētīšu un vairošu tavu dzimumu Ābrahāma, Sava kalpa, dēļ.
25 And so he built an altar there. And he invoked the name of the Lord, and he stretched out his tent. And he instructed his servants to dig a well.
Un viņš tur uztaisīja altāri un piesauca Tā Kunga vārdu un tur uzcēla savu telti, un Īzaka kalpi tur raka vienu aku.
26 When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,
Un Abimelehs nāca pie tā no Ģeraras, un viens no viņa draugiem Aūzats un Pīkols, viņa karaspēka virsnieks.
27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among you?”
Tad Īzaks uz tiem sacīja: kāpēc jūs nākat pie manis, jūs, kas mani ienīstat un mani no sevis esat izdzinuši?
28 And they responded: “We saw that the Lord is with you, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us initiate a pact,
Un tie sacīja: mēs redzēt redzam, ka Tas Kungs ir ar tevi; tad esam sacījuši: sazvērēsimies kopā, mēs un tu, un darīsim derību ar tevi,
29 so that you may not do us any kind of harm, just as we have touched nothing of yours, and have not caused any injury to you, but with peace we released you, augmented by the blessing of the Lord.”
Ka tu mums ļauna nedari, (it) kā mēs tevi neesam aizskāruši, un (it) kā mēs tev labu vien esam darījuši un tevi ar mieru atlaiduši; tu nu esi Tā Kunga svētīts.
30 Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the food and drink,
Un viņš tiem darīja dzīres, un tie ēda un dzēra,
31 arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.
Un cēlās rītā agri un zvērēja viens otram, un Īzaks tos atlaida; tad tie no viņa aizgāja ar mieru.
32 Then, behold, on the same day the servants of Isaac came, reporting to him about a well which they had dug, and saying: “We have found water.”
Un tanī dienā Īzaka kalpi nāca un viņam sacīja, kas bija noticis ar to aku, ko tie bija rakuši, un viņam sacīja: mēs esam ūdeni atraduši.
33 Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present day.
Un viņš to nosauca Šebu (zvērests), tādēļ tās pilsētas vārds ir Bēršeba līdz šai dienai.
34 In truth, at forty years of age, Esau took wives: Judith, the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon, of the same place.
Un Ēsavs bija četrdesmit gadus vecs un ņēma par sievu Juditu, Berus, tā Hetieša, meitu, un Basmatu, Elona, tā Hetieša, meitu.
35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.
Un tās darīja sirdēstus Īzakam un Rebekai.
