Genesis 26
1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.
Beberapa waktu kemudian, terjadilah bencana kelaparan di negeri itu, seperti yang pernah terjadi pada zaman Abraham. Karena itu, Isak pergi ke Gerar, yaitu wilayah kekuasaan Abimelek, raja orang Filistin.
2 And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell you of.
TUHAN menampakkan diri kepada Isak dan berkata, “Jangan pergi ke Mesir! Tetaplah di negeri yang Aku tunjukkan kepadamu.
3 And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam.
Tinggallah di negeri itu sebagai pendatang. Aku akan menyertai dan memberkatimu. Seluruh wilayah Kanaan akan Aku berikan kepadamu dan kepada keturunanmu. Aku akan menepati perjanjian-Ku dengan ayahmu Abraham.
4 And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed.
Kepadamu akan Aku berikan keturunan yang sangat banyak, seperti banyaknya bintang di langit. Aku akan memberikan seluruh wilayah ini kepada mereka, dan mereka akan menjadi berkat bagi seluruh bangsa di bumi,
5 Because Abraam your father listened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.
karena dulu ayahmu Abraham selalu menaati semua perkataan-Ku, petunjuk-Ku, perintah-Ku, ketetapan-Ku, dan hukum-Ku.”
6 And Isaac lived in Gerara.
Maka tinggallah Isak di Gerar.
7 And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should kill him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.
Adapun Ribka sangat cantik. Karena itu, ketika para laki-laki di Gerar bertanya tentang Ribka, Isak selalu menjawab, “Dia adikku.” Isak takut untuk menjawab, “Itu istri saya,” karena dia berpikir, “Bisa saja ada yang membunuh aku demi mendapatkan Ribka.”
8 And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.
Sesudah Isak tinggal beberapa lama di sana, suatu hari Abimelek melihat-lihat dari jendela istananya, dan dia terkejut melihat Isak dan Ribka sedang bermesraan sebagai suami-istri.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then your wife? why have you said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.
Lalu Abimelek memanggil Isak dan berkata, “Sekarang saya tahu bahwa dia istrimu! Kenapa kamu mengatakan bahwa dia adikmu?” Jawab Isak, “Karena saya pikir, ‘Kalau saya mengaku bahwa Ribka adalah istri saya, pasti ada yang akan membunuh saya demi mendapatkannya.’”
10 And Abimelech said to him, Why have you done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with your wife, and you would have brought [a sin of] ignorance upon us.
Kata Abimelek, “Seharusnya kamu tidak melakukan itu kepada kami! Bisa saja salah seorang dari antara kami meniduri istrimu. Kalau sampai itu terjadi, maka kamulah yang menyebabkan seluruh bangsa kami bersalah atas dosa besar!”
11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.
Kemudian Abimelek memberi peringatan kepada rakyatnya, “Siapa saja yang mengganggu orang ini ataupun istrinya akan dihukum mati!”
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.
Isak menanam gandum di negeri itu, dan dalam tahun itu juga dia mendapat hasil panen seratus kali lipat, karena TUHAN sangat memberkatinya.
13 And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
Harta Isak semakin bertambah banyak sehingga dia kaya raya.
14 And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.
Isak memiliki sangat banyak budak dan ternak, termasuk sapi, domba, serta kambing. Orang-orang Filistin pun iri kepadanya.
15 And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.
Karena itu, mereka menutup semua sumur yang dahulu digali oleh para budak Abraham. Mereka menimbun sumur-sumur itu dengan tanah.
16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for you are become much mightier than we.
Akhirnya, Abimelek berkata kepada Isak, “Pergilah kamu beserta seluruh budakmu dari kerajaan saya, karena kekuatanmu dan jumlah orang-orangmu sudah terlalu besar dibanding kami yang adalah penduduk asli tempat ini.”
17 And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and lived there.
Maka Isak, semua budaknya, dan segala miliknya pindah dari tempat itu. Mereka pergi dan berkemah di lembah Gerar lalu menetap di sana.
18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.
Ada beberapa sumur di tempat itu yang dahulu digali oleh para budak Abraham. Namun, sesudah Abraham meninggal, sumur-sumur itu ditutup oleh orang Filistin dengan tanah. Para budak Isak menggali kembali sumur-sumur itu, dan Isak menamai masing-masing sumur seperti nama yang diberikan oleh ayahnya dahulu.
19 And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.
Budak-budak Isak juga menggali sebuah sumur lain di lembah itu, dan mereka menemukan mata air yang berbual-bual.
20 And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him.
Tetapi penduduk yang menggembalakan domba di lembah Gerar bertengkar dengan gembala-gembala Isak. Mereka berkata, “Air ini milik kami!” Lalu Isak menamai sumur itu Esek, yang berarti ‘sengketa’, karena di tempat itu orang-orang bertengkar dengan para gembalanya.
21 And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.
Para budak Isak menggali sumur yang lain, tetapi lagi-lagi terjadi pertengkaran memperebutkan sumur itu. Maka Isak menamai sumur itu Sitna, yang berarti ‘permusuhan’.
22 And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.
Mereka pindah dari situ dan menggali sumur yang lain. Kali ini, tidak ada pertengkaran. Isak menamai sumur itu Rehobot, yang berarti ‘tempat luas’, karena katanya, “TUHAN sudah memberikan kebebasan kepada kami untuk tinggal di daerah ini, dan kami akan makmur di sini.”
23 And he went up thence to the well of the oath.
Dari situ, Isak pergi ke Bersyeba.
24 And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam your father; fear not, for I am with you, and I will bless you, and multiply your seed for the sake of Abraam your father.
Pada malam pertama di situ, TUHAN menampakkan diri dan berkata kepadanya, “Akulah Allah ayahmu Abraham. Jangan takut, Aku menyertaimu. Sesuai janji-Ku kepada hamba-Ku Abraham, Aku akan memberkatimu dan memberimu keturunan yang banyak.”
25 And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.
Lalu Isak mendirikan mezbah dan menyembah TUHAN di tempat itu. Dia juga mendirikan perkemahan di situ, dan para budaknya menggali sumur.
26 And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.
Sementara mereka tinggal di situ, Raja Abimelek datang dari Gerar bersama Ahuzat, penasihatnya, dan Pikol, panglima tentaranya.
27 And Isaac said to them, Therefore have you come to me? whereas you hated me, and sent me away from you.
Isak berkata kepada mereka, “Kenapa kalian menemui saya? Bukankah sebelumnya kalian membenci dan mengusir saya dari daerah kalian?”
28 And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with you, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and we will make a covenant with you,
Salah satu dari mereka menjawab, “Sekarang sudah nyata bagi kami bahwa TUHAN menyertaimu. Karena itu, kami berpikir bahwa sebaiknya kita membuat perjanjian damai.
29 that you shall do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred you, and according as we have treated you well, and have sent you forth peaceably; and now you are blessed of the Lord.
Berjanjilah kepada kami bahwa engkau tidak akan berbuat jahat kepada kami, seperti halnya kami selalu berbuat baik kepada kalian. Waktu itu, daripada kita berselisih, saya menyuruh kalian meninggalkan wilayah kami, lalu kita berpisah dengan damai. Sekarang lihatlah betapa luar biasa TUHAN sudah memberkati kalian!”
30 And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
Kemudian Isak mengadakan pesta makan dengan mereka, dan semuanya makan dan minum.
31 And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbor; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.
Keesokan paginya, Abimelek dan Isak mengesahkan perjanjian damai dengan bersumpah satu sama lain. Sesudah itu, Abimelek pamit pulang, dan Isak mengucapkan selamat jalan kepada mereka.
32 And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.
Pada hari itu juga, para budak Isak datang memberitahukan kepadanya tentang sumur yang sudah selesai mereka gali. Mereka berkata, “Kami sudah menemukan air!”
33 And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.
Maka Isak menamai sumur itu Syeba, yang artinya ‘sumpah’. Sampai saat ini, kota itu dinamai Bersyeba, yang berarti ‘sumur sumpah’.
34 And Esau was forty years old; and he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.
Ketika Esau berumur empat puluh tahun, dia menikah dengan dua perempuan dari suku Het, yaitu Yudit anak Beeri dan Basmat anak Elon.
35 And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
Kedua istri Esau itu menimbulkan kepedihan hati bagi Isak dan Ribka.
