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.
Hubo una hambruna en aquella tierra, además de aquella primera hambruna que hubo en los días de Abraham. Isaac fue a Gerar, donde Abimelec era rey de los filisteos.
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.
Yavé se le apareció y le dijo: No bajes a Egipto. Vive en la tierra que Yo te diré.
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.
Habita temporalmente en esta tierra y estaré contigo. Te bendeciré, porque daré todas estas tierras a ti y a tu descendencia, y confirmaré el juramento que hice a tu padre 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.
Multiplicaré tu descendencia como las estrellas del cielo, y daré a tu descendencia todas estas tierras. Todas las naciones de la tierra serán bendecidas en tu descendencia,
5 Because Abraam your father listened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.
por cuanto Abraham escuchó mi voz y guardó mis Preceptos, mis Mandamientos, mis Estatutos y mis Leyes.
6 And Isaac lived in Gerara.
Isaac habitó en 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.
Los hombres de aquel lugar le preguntaron con respecto a su esposa, y él contestó: Ella es mi hermana, porque temió decir: Es mi esposa, pues pensó que los hombres del lugar lo matarían a causa de Rebeca, ya que ella era de hermosa apariencia.
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.
Después de estar allí bastante tiempo, Abimelec, rey de los filisteos, al mirar por la ventana vio a Isaac, quien acariciaba a Rebeca su esposa.
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.
Abimelec llamó a Isaac, y le dijo: Mira, ciertamente ella es tu esposa. ¿Por qué dijiste: Es mi hermana? E Isaac le respondió: Porque me dije: No sea que yo muera por causa de ella.
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.
Abimelec preguntó: ¿Por qué nos hiciste esto? ¡Cuán fácilmente hubiera podido unirse alguno del pueblo con tu esposa y así habrías traído culpabilidad sobre nosotros!
11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.
Por lo cual Abimelec mandó a todo su pueblo: El que toque a este hombre o a su esposa, ciertamente morirá.
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.
Isaac sembró en aquella tierra. Aquel mismo año cosechó ciento por uno, porque Yavé lo bendijo.
13 And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
Aquel varón se engrandeció y continuó el engrandecimiento hasta hacerse muy poderoso.
14 And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.
Tuvo rebaño de ovejas, hato de ganado vacuno y gran servidumbre, tanto que los filisteos le tuvieron envidia,
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.
de modo que todos los pozos que cavaron los esclavos en días de su padre Abraham, los filisteos los cegaron. Los llenaron de tierra.
16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for you are become much mightier than we.
Y Abimelec dijo a Isaac: Apártate de nosotros porque eres mucho más poderoso que nosotros.
17 And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and lived there.
Isaac salió de allí y acampó en el valle de Gerar, y vivió allí.
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.
Luego Isaac volvió a abrir los pozos de agua que cavaron en los días de su padre Abraham, y que los filisteos cegaron después de la muerte de Abraham. Los llamó con los mismos nombres que su padre les dio.
19 And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.
Los esclavos de Isaac cavaron en el valle y encontraron allí un pozo de aguas vivas.
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.
Pero los pastores de Gerar riñeron con los pastores de Isaac y dijeron: El agua es nuestra. Por eso lo llamó del pozo Eseq, porque altercaron por él.
21 And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.
Abrieron otro pozo y también riñeron por él. Lo llamó Sitna.
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.
Entonces se apartó de allí y abrió otro pozo. Por éste no riñeron. Lo llamó Rehobot porque dijeron: Yavé nos hizo ensanchar, y fructificaremos en la tierra.
23 And he went up thence to the well of the oath.
De allí subió a Beerseba.
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.
Aquella noche se le apareció Yavé, y le dijo: Yo soy el ʼElohim de tu padre Abraham. No temas, porque estoy contigo. Te bendeciré, y multiplicaré tu descendencia por amor a mi esclavo Abraham.
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.
Entonces edificó allí un altar e invocó el Nombre de Yavé. Plantó allí su tienda y los esclavos de Isaac cavaron allí un pozo.
26 And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.
Abimelec fue a él desde Gerar con su allegado Ahuzat y Ficol, capitán de su ejército.
27 And Isaac said to them, Therefore have you come to me? whereas you hated me, and sent me away from you.
Isaac les dijo: ¿Por qué vienen a mí, si me aborrecieron y me echaron de entre ustedes?
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,
Le respondieron: Ciertamente vimos que Yavé está contigo. Pensamos interponer un juramento solemne entre tú y nosotros, y concertar un pacto contigo
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.
de que no nos harás daño, así como nosotros no te tocamos. Solo te hicimos bien y te despedimos en paz. Tú eres ahora el bendecido por Yavé.
30 And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
Entonces él les ofreció un banquete, y comieron y bebieron.
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.
Por la mañana se levantaron temprano y se juramentaron el uno al otro. Al despedirlos Isaac, salieron de su lado en paz.
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.
Aquel mismo día sucedió que llegaron los esclavos de Isaac con las noticias del pozo que cavaron y le dijeron: ¡Encontramos agua!
33 And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.
Lo llamó Seba, por lo cual el nombre de aquella ciudad es Beerseba hasta hoy.
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.
Esaú tenía 40 años de edad cuando tomó como esposa a Judit, hija del heteo Beeri, y a Bosemat, hija del heteo Elón.
35 And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
Ellas fueron causa de mucha amargura para Isaac y Rebeca.
