Genesis 26

1 And there was a famine in the lande besides the first famine that was in the dayes of Abraham. Wherefore Izhak went to Abimelech King of the Philistims vnto Gerar.

١ وَحَدَثَ فِي الأَرْضِ جُوعٌ غَيْرُ الْجُوعِ الأَوَّلِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي أَيَّامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَارْتَحَلَ إِسْحاقُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ جَرَارَ حَيْثُ أَبِيمَالِكُ مَلِكُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

2 For the Lord appeared vnto him, and sayde, Goe not downe into Egypt, but abide in the land which I shall shewe vnto thee.

٢ فَظَهَرَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: «لا تَمْضِ إِلَى مِصْرَ، بَلُ امْكُثْ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أُعَيِّنُهَا لَكَ.

3 Dwell in this lande, and I will be with thee, and will blesse thee: for to thee, and to thy seede I will giue all these countreys: and I will performe the othe which I sware vnto Abraham thy father.

٣ أَقِمْ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ فَأَكُونَ مَعَكَ وَأُبَارِكَكَ، لأَنَّنِي أُعْطِي لَكَ وَلِذُرِّيَّتِكَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ وَفَاءً بِقَسَمِي الَّذِي أَقْسَمْتُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكَ.

4 Also I wil cause thy seede to multiply as the starres of heauen, and will giue vnto thy seede all these countreys: and in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,

٤ وَأُكَثِّرُ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَأَهِبُهَا جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْبِلادِ. وَتَتَبَارَكُ فِي نَسْلِكَ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ.

5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voyce and kept mine ordinance, my commandements, my statutes, and my Lawes.

٥ لأَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَطَاعَ قَوْلِي، وَحَفِظَ أَوَامِرِي وَوَصَايَايَ وَفَرَائِضِي وَشَرَائِعِي».

6 So Izhak dwelt in Gerar.

٦ فَأَقَامَ إِسْحاقُ فِي مَدِينَةِ جَرَارَ.

7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife, and he sayd, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife, least, sayde he, the men of the place shoulde kill me, because of Rebekah: for she was beautifull to the eye.

٧ وَعِنْدَمَا سَأَلَهُ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ عَنْ زَوْجَتِهِ قَالَ: «هِيَ أُخْتِي» لأَنَّهُ خَافَ أَنْ يَقُولَ: «هِيَ زَوْجَتِي» لِئَلّا يَقْتُلَهُ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ رِفْقَةَ، لأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ رَائِعَةَ الْجَمَالِ.

8 So after hee had bene there long time, Abimelech King of the Philistims looked out at a windowe, and loe, he sawe Izhak sporting with Rebekah his wife.

٨ وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ أَنْ طَالَ مُكُوثُهُ هُنَاكَ، أَنَّ أَبِيمَالِكَ مَلِكَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَطَلَّ مِنَ النَّافِذَةِ، فَشَاهَدَ إِسْحاقَ يُدَاعِبُ امْرَأَتَهُ رِفْقَةَ.

9 Then Abimelech called Izhak, and sayde, Loe, shee is of a suertie thy wife, and why saydest thou, She is my sister? To whom Izhak answered, Because I thought this, It may be that I shall dye for her.

٩ فَاسْتَدْعَاهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّهَا بِالْحَقِيقَةِ زَوْجَتُكَ، فَكَيْفَ قُلْتَ هِيَ أُخْتِي؟» فَأَجَابَ إِسْحاقُ: «لأَنِّي قُلْتُ: لَعَلِّي أُقْتَلُ بِسَبَبِهَا».

10 Then Abimelech said, Why hast thou done this vnto vs? one of the people had almost lien by thy wife, so shouldest thou haue brought sinne vpon vs.

١٠ فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ: «مَا هَذَا الَّذِي فَعَلْتَ بِنَا؟ لَقَدْ كَانَ يَسِيراً عَلَى أَيِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ أَنْ يَضْطَجِعَ مَعَ زَوْجَتِكَ فَتَجْلِبُ بِذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا إِثْماً».

11 Then Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man, or his wife, shall die the death.

١١ وَأَنْذَرَ أَبِيمَالِكُ كُلَّ الشَّعْبِ قَائِلاً: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَمَسُّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ أَوْ زَوْجَتَهُ فَحَتْماً يَمُوتُ».

12 Afterwarde Izhak sowed in that lande, and founde in the same yeere an hundreth folde by estimation: and so the Lord blessed him.

١٢ وَزَرَعَ إِسْحاقُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ، فَحَصَدَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ لأَنَّ اللهَ بَارَكَهُ.

13 And the man waxed mightie, and stil increased, till he was exceeding great,

١٣ وَعَظُمَ شَأْنُ الرَّجُلِ، وَتَزَايَدَ غِنَاهُ وَأَصْبَحَ وَاسِعَ الثَّرَاءِ وَالنُّفُوذِ.

14 For he had flockes of sheepe, and heards of cattell, and a mightie housholde: therefore the Philistims had enuy at him.

١٤ وَصَارَتْ لَهُ مَاشِيَةٌ، غَنَمٌ وَقُطْعَانُ بَقَرٍ وَعَبِيدٌ كَثِيرُونَ. فَحَسَدَهُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ.

15 In so much that the Philistims stopped and filled vp with earth all the welles, which his fathers seruantes digged in his father Abrahams time.

١٥ وَرَدَمَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِالتُّرَابِ جَمِيعَ الآبَارِ الَّتِي حَفَرَهَا عَبِيدُ أَبِيهِ فِي أَيَّامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

16 Then Abimelech sayde vnto Izhak, Get thee from vs, for thou art mightier then wee a great deale.

١٦ وَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ لإِسْحاقَ: «ارْحَلْ عَنَّا لأَنَّكَ أَصْبَحْتَ أَكْثَرَ قُوَّةً مِنَّا».

17 Therefore Izhak departed thence and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

١٧ فَانْصَرَفَ إِسْحاقُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَضَرَبَ خِيَامَهُ فِي وَادِي جَرَارَ حَيْثُ أَقَامَ.

18 And Izhak returning, digged the welles of water, which they had digged in the dayes of Abraham his father: for the Philistims had stopped them after the death of Abraham, and hee gaue them the same names, which his father gaue them.

١٨ وَأَعَادَ إِسْحاقُ حَفْرَ آبَارِ الْمِيَاهِ الَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ تَمَّ حَفْرُهَا فِي أَيَّامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَرَدَمَهَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أَبِيهِ، وَدَعَاهَا بِالأَسْمَاءِ الَّتِي أَطْلَقَهَا عَلَيْهَا أَبُوهُ.

19 Izhaks seruantes then digged in the valley, and found there a well of liuing water.

١٩ وَعِنْدَمَا حَفَرَ عَبِيدُ إِسْحاقَ فِي الْوَادِي وَعَثَرُوا عَلَى بِئْرِ مَاءٍ جَارٍ،

20 But the herdmen of Gerar did striue with Izhaks herdmen, saying, The water is ours: therefore called he the name of the well Esek, because they were at strife with him.

٢٠ خَاصَمَ رُعَاةُ مَدِينَةِ جَرَارَ رُعَاةَ إِسْحاقَ قَائِلِينَ: «هَذَا الْمَاءُ لَنَا». فَدَعَا الْبِئْرَ «عِسِقَ» لأَنَّهُمْ نَازَعُوهُ عَلَيْهَا.

21 Afterwarde they digged another well, and stroue for that also, and he called the name of it Sitnah.

٢١ ثُمَّ حَفَرُوا بِئْراً أُخْرَى وَتَخَاصَمُوا عَلَيْهَا، فَدَعَاهَا «سِطْنَةَ» (وَمَعْنَاهَا عَدَاوَةٌ).

22 Then he remoued thence, and digged an other well, for the which they stroue not: therefore called hee the name of it Rehoboth, and sayde, Because the Lord hath nowe made vs roome, we shall increase vpon the earth.

٢٢ وَانْتَقَلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَحَفَرَ بِئْراً أُخْرَى وَلَمْ يَتَنَازَعُوا عَلَيْهَا، فَدَعَا اسْمَهَا «رَحُوبُوتَ» (وَمَعْنَاهَا الأَمَاكِنُ الرَّحْبَةُ) قَائِلاً: «لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْحَبَ الآنَ لَنَا وَأَثْمَرْنَا فِي الأَرْضِ».

23 So he went vp thence to Beer-sheba.

٢٣ ثُمَّ مَضَى مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ.

24 And the Lord appeared vnto him the same night, and sayde, I am the God of Abraham thy father: feare not, for I am with thee, and wil blesse thee, and will multiplie thy seede for my seruant Abrahams sake.

٢٤ فَتَجَلَّى لَهُ الرَّبُّ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَقَالَ: «أَنَا هُوَ إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكَ. لَا تَخَفْ لأَنِّي مَعَكَ وَأُبَارِكُكَ وَأُكَثِّرُ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَبْدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ».

25 Then he builte an altar there, and called vpon the Name of the Lord, and there spred his tent: where also Izhaks seruauntes digged a well.

٢٥ فَشَيَّدَ إِسْحاقُ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً وَدَعَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ، ثُمَّ نَصَبَ هُنَاكَ خَيْمَتَهُ، وَحَفَرَ عَبِيدُهُ بِئْراً.

26 Then came Abimelech to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friendes, and Phichol the captaine of his armie.

٢٦ وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ جَرَارَ أَبِيمَالِكُ وَأَحُزَّاتُ مُسْتَشَارُهُ، وَفِيكُولُ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ.

27 To whom Izhak sayd, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate mee and haue put mee away from you?

٢٧ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِسْحاقُ: «مَا بَالُكُمْ قَدْ أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَيَّ، وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَبْغَضْتُمُونِي وَصَرَفْتُمُونِي مِنْ عِنْدِكُمْ؟»

28 Who answered, Wee sawe certainely that the Lord was with thee, and wee thought thus, Let there be nowe an othe betweene vs, euen betweene vs and thee, and let vs make a couenant with thee.

٢٨ فَأَجَابُوهُ: «لَقَدْ تَبَيَّنَ لَنَا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَكَ، فَقُلْنَا: لِيَكُنْ بَيْنَنَا حَلْفٌ وَلْنَقْطَعْ مَعَكَ عَهْداً:

29 If thou shalt do vs no hurt, as we haue not touched thee, and as we haue done vnto thee nothing but good, and sent thee away in peace: thou nowe, the blessed of the Lord, doe this.

٢٩ أَنْ لَا تُسِيءَ إِلَيْنَا كَمَا لَمْ نَمَسَّكَ بِشَرٍّ وَلَمْ يُصِبْكَ مِنَّا سِوَى الْخَيْرِ، ثُمَّ صَرَفْنَاكَ بِسَلامٍ. وَهَا أَنْتَ الآنَ مُبَارَكٌ مِنَ الرَّبِّ».

30 Then hee made them a feast, and they dyd eate and drinke.

٣٠ فَأَقَامَ لَهُمْ مَأْدُبَةً فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا.

31 And they rose vp betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: then Izhak let them go, and they departed from him in peace.

٣١ ثُمَّ بَكَّرُوا فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَحَلَفَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ، وَشَيَّعَهُمْ إِسْحاقُ فَانْصَرَفُوا بِسَلامٍ.

32 And that same day Izhaks seruantes came and tolde him of a well, which they had digged, and said vnto him, We haue found water.

٣٢ وَفِي نَفْسِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ جَاءَ عَبِيدُ إِسْحاقَ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّنَا عَثَرْنَا عَلَى مَاءٍ فِي الْبِئْرِ الَّتِي حَفَرْنَاهَا».

33 So hee called it Shibah: therefore the name of the citie is called Beer-sheba vnto this day.

٣٣ فَدَعَاهَا شِبْعَةَ، لِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

34 Nowe when Esau was fourtie yeere olde, he tooke to wife Iudith, the daughter of Beeri an Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon an Hittite also.

٣٤ وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ عِيسُو الأَرْبَعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ تَزَوَّجَ كُلًّا مِنْ يَهُودِيتَ بِنْتِ بِيرِي الْحِثِّيِّ، وَبَسْمَةَ بِنْتِ إِيلُونَ الْحِثِّيِّ.

35 And they were a griefe of minde to Izhak and to Rebekah.

٣٥ فَأَتْعَسَتَا حَيَاةَ إِسْحاقَ وَرِفْقَةَ.
