Genesis 26
1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine which had been in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Da der opstod Hungersnød i Landet — en anden end den forrige paa Abrahams Tid — begav Isak sig til Filisterkongen Abimelek i Gerar.
2 And Jehovah appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt: dwell in the land that I shall tell thee of.
Og HERREN aabenbarede sig for ham og sagde: »Drag ikke ned til Ægypten, men bliv i det Land, jeg siger dig;
3 Sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee and bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries; and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father.
bo som fremmed i det Land, saa vil jeg være med dig og velsigne dig; thi dig og dit Afkom vil jeg give alle disse Lande og stadfæste den Ed, jeg tilsvor din Fader Abraham;
4 And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and unto thy seed will I give all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves —
og jeg vil gøre dit Afkom talrigt som Himmelens Stjerner og give dit Afkom alle disse Lande, og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes,
5 because that Abraham hearkened to my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
fordi Abraham adlød mine Ord og holdt sig mine Forskrifter efterrettelig, mine Bud, Anordninger og Love.«
6 And Isaac dwelt at Gerar.
Saa blev Isak boende i Gerar.
7 And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, my wife, [saying to himself, ] Lest the men of the place slay me on account of Rebecca — because she was fair in countenance.
Da nu Mændene der paa Stedet forhørte sig om hans Hustru, sagde han: »Det er min Søster!« Thi han turde ikke sige, at hun var hans Hustru, af Frygt for at Mændene der paa Stedet skulde slaa ham ihjel for Rebekkas Skyld; thi hun var meget smuk.
8 And it came to pass when he had been there some time, that Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked out of the window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was dallying with Rebecca his wife.
Men da han havde boet der en Tid lang, hændte det, at Filisterkongen Abimelek lænede sig ud af Vinduet og saa Isak kærtegne sin Hustru Rebekka.
9 Then Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is certainly thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? and Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account of her.
Saa lod Abimelek Isak kalde og sagde: »Hun er jo din Hustru; hvor kunde du da sige, at hun er din Søster« Isak svarede: »Jo, jeg tænkte: Jeg vil ikke udsætte mig for at miste Livet for hendes Skyld.«
10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done to us? But a little and one of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a trespass on us.
Men Abimelek sagde: »Hvad er det dog, du har gjort imod os! Hvor let kunde det ikke være sket, at en af Folket havde ligget hos din Hustru, og saa havde du bragt Skyld over os!«
11 And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall certainly be put to death.
Saa bød Abimelek alt Folket: »Hver den, der rører denne Mand eller hans Hustru, skal lide Døden.«
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold; and Jehovah blessed him.
Isak saaede der i Landet og fik samme Aar 100 Fold; og HERREN velsignede ham,
13 And the man became great, and he became continually greater, until he was very great.
saa han blev en mægtig Mand og stadig gik frem, indtil han blev saare mægtig,
14 And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great number of servants; and the Philistines envied him.
og han havde Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg og Trælle i Mængde. Derover blev Filisterne skinsyge paa ham.
15 And all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them and filled them with earth.
Alle de Brønde, hans Faders Trælle havde gravet i hans Fader Abrahams Dage, kastede Filisterne til og fyldte dem med Jord;
16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for thou art become much mightier than we.
og Abimelek sagde til Isak: »Drag bort fra os, thi du er blevet os for stærk!«
17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his camp in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Saa drog Isak bort og slog Lejr i Gerars Dal og bosatte sig der.
18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water that they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and that the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Men Isak lod atter de Brønde udgrave, som hans Fader Abrahams Trælle havde gravet, og som Filisterne havde tilkastet efter Abrahams Død, og gav dem de samme Navne, som hans Fader havde givet dem.
19 And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Da nu Isaks Trælle gravede i Dalen, stødte de paa en Brønd med rindende Vand;
20 But the shepherds of Gerar strove with Isaac's shepherds, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they had quarrelled with him.
men Gerars Hyrder yppede Kiv med Isaks og sagde: »Dette Vand tilhører os!« Derfor kaldte han Brønden Esek, thi der stredes de med ham.
21 And they dug another well, and they strove for that also; and he called the name of it Sitnah.
Saa flyttede han derfra og lod grave en ny Brønd; og da de ogsaa yppede Kiv om den, kaldte han den Sitna.
22 And he removed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive for that. And he called the name of it Rehoboth, and said, For now Jehovah has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
Saa flyttede han derfra og lod grave en ny Brønd; og da de ikke yppede Kiv om den, kaldte han den Rehobot, idet han sagde: »Nu har HERREN skaffet os Plads, saa vi kan blive talrige i Landet!«
23 And he went up thence to Beer-sheba.
Saa drog han derfra til Be'ersjeba.
24 And Jehovah appeared to 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.
Samme Nat aabenbarede HERREN sig for ham og sagde: »Jeg er din Fader Abrahams Gud; frygt ikke, thi jeg er med dig, og jeg vil velsigne dig og gøre dit Afkom talrigt for min Tjener Abrahams, Skyld!«
25 And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah. And he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well.
Da byggede Isak et Alter der og paakaldte HERRENS Navn; og der opslog han sit Telt, og hans Trælle gravede der en Brønd.
26 And Abimelech, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol the captain of his host, went to him from Gerar.
Imidlertid kom Abimelek til ham fra Gerar med sin Ven Ahuzzat og sin Hærfører Pikol.
27 And Isaac said to them, Why are ye come to me, seeing ye hate me, and have driven me away from you?
Isak sagde til dem: »Hvorfor kommer I til mig, naar I dog hader mig og har jaget mig bort fra eder?«
28 And they said, We saw certainly that Jehovah is with thee; and we said, Let there be then an oath between us — between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,
Men de svarede: »Vi ser tydeligt, at HERREN er med dig, derfor har vi tænkt: Lad der blive et Edsforbund mellem os og dig, og lad os slutte en Pagt med dig,
29 that thou wilt do us no wrong, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done to thee nothing but good, and have let thee go in peace; thou art now blessed of Jehovah.
at du ikke vil gøre os noget ondt, ligesom vi ikke har voldet dig Men, men kun handlet vel imod dig og ladet dig fare i Fred; du er og bliver jo HERRENS velsignede!«
30 And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Saa gjorde han et Gæstebud for dem, og de spiste og drak.
31 And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Næste Morgen svor de hinanden Eder, og derefter tog Isak Afsked med dem, og de drog bort i Fred.
32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well that they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.
Samme Dag kom Isaks Trælle og bragte ham Melding om den Brønd, de havde gravet, og sagde: »Vi har fundet Vand!«
33 And he called it Shebah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.
Saa kaldte han den Sjib'a; og derfor hedder Byen den Dag i Dag Be'ersjeba.
34 And Esau was forty years old, when he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basmath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Da Esau var fyrretyve Aar gammel, tog han Judit, en Datter af Hetiten Be'eri, og Basemat, en Datter af Hetiten Elon, til Ægte.
35 And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and to Rebecca.
Det var Isak og Rebekka en Hjertesorg.
