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.
E houve fome na terra, além da primeira fome que foi nos dias de Abraão: e foi-se Isaque a Abimeleque rei dos filisteus, em Gerar.
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,
E apareceu-lhe o SENHOR, e disse-lhe: Não desças ao Egito: habita na terra que eu te disser;
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.
Habita nesta terra, e serei contigo, e te abençoarei; porque a ti e à tua descendência darei todas estas terras, e confirmarei o juramento que jurei a Abraão teu pai:
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,
E multiplicarei tua descendência como as estrelas do céu, e darei à tua descendência todas estas terras; e todas as nações da terra serão abençoadas em tua descendência.
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”
Porquanto ouviu Abraão minha voz, e guardou meu preceito, meus mandamentos, meus estatutos e minhas leis.
6 And so Isaac remained in Gerar.
Habitou, pois, Isaque em Gerar.
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.
E os homens daquele lugar lhe perguntaram acerca de sua mulher; e ele respondeu: É minha irmã; porque teve medo de dizer: É minha mulher; que talvez, disse, os homens do lugar me matem por causa de Rebeca; porque era de belo aspecto.
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.
E sucedeu que, depois que ele esteve ali muitos dias, Abimeleque, rei dos filisteus, olhando por uma janela, viu a Isaque que acariciava Rebeca sua mulher.
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.”
E chamou Abimeleque a Isaque, e disse: Eis que ela é certamente tua mulher: como, pois, disseste: É minha irmã? E Isaque lhe respondeu: Porque disse: Talvez eu morra por causa dela.
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,
E Abimeleque disse: Por que nos fizeste isto? Por pouco haveria dormido alguém do povo com tua mulher, e haverias trazido sobre nós o pecado.
11 “Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”
Então Abimeleque mandou a todo o povo, dizendo: O que tocar a este homem ou a sua mulher certamente morrerá.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
E semeou Isaque naquela terra, e achou aquele ano cem por um: e o SENHOR o abençoou.
13 And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
E o homem se engrandeceu, e foi engrandecendo-se cada vez mais, até fazer-se muito poderoso:
14 Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
E teve rebanho de ovelhas, e rebanho de vacas, e grande número de servos; e os filisteus tiveram inveja dele.
15 so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
E todos os poços que os criados de Abraão seu pai haviam aberto em seus dias, os filisteus os haviam fechado e enchido da terra.
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.”
E disse Abimeleque a Isaque: Aparta-te de nós, porque muito mais poderoso que nós te fizeste.
17 And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
E Isaque se foi dali; e assentou suas tendas no vale de Gerar, e habitou ali.
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.
E voltou a abrir Isaque os poços de água que haviam aberto nos dias de Abraão seu pai, e que os filisteus haviam fechado, depois de Abraão ter morrido; e chamou-os pelos nomes que seu pai os havia chamado.
19 And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.
E os servos de Isaque cavaram no vale, e acharam ali um poço de águas vivas.
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.’
E os pastores de Gerar brigaram com os pastores de Isaque, dizendo: A água é nossa: por isso chamou o nome do poço Eseque, porque haviam brigado com ele.
21 Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’
E abriram outro poço, e também brigaram sobre ele: e chamou seu nome Sitna.
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.”
E apartou-se dali, e abriu outro poço, e não brigaram sobre ele: e chamou seu nome Reobote, e disse: Porque agora nos fez alargar o SENHOR e frutificaremos na terra.
23 Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
E dali subiu a Berseba.
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.”
E apareceu-lhe o SENHOR aquela noite, e disse: Eu sou o Deus de Abraão teu pai: não temas, que eu sou contigo, e eu te abençoarei, e multiplicarei tua descendência por causa do meu servo Abraão.
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.
E edificou ali um altar, e invocou o nome do SENHOR, e estendeu ali sua tenda: e abriram ali os servos de Isaque um poço.
26 When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,
E Abimeleque veio a ele desde Gerar, e Auzate, amigo seu, e Ficol, capitão de seu exército.
27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among you?”
E disse-lhes Isaque: Por que vindes a mim, pois que haveis me odiado, e me expulsastes dentre vós?
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,
E eles responderam: Vimos que o SENHOR é contigo; e dissemos: Haja agora juramento entre nós, entre nós e ti, e faremos aliança contigo:
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.”
Que não nos faças mal, como nós não te tocamos, y como somente te fizemos bem, e te enviamos em paz: tu agora, bendito do SENHOR.
30 Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the food and drink,
Então ele lhes fez banquete, e comeram e beberam.
31 arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.
E se levantaram de madrugada, e juraram um ao outro; e Isaque os despediu, e eles se partiram dele em paz.
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.”
E naquele dia sucedeu que vieram os criados de Isaque, e deram-lhe notícias acerca do poço que haviam aberto, e lhe disseram: Achamos água.
33 Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present day.
E chamou-o Seba: por cuja causa o nome daquela cidade é Berseba até hoje.
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.
E quando Esaú foi de quarenta anos, tomou por mulher a Judite filha de Beeri heteu, e a Basemate filha de Elom heteu:
35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.
E foram amargura de espírito a Isaque e a Rebeca.
