Genesis 26
1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham; and Isaac went unto Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, unto 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 the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which 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 will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, will I 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 cause thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and I will give unto thy seed 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 obeyed 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 in Gerar.
Saa blev Isak boende i Gerar.
7 And the men of the place asked [him] concerning his wife; and he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, [said he, ] the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she is of a handsome appearance.
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 a long time, that Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, looked out at a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah 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 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I thought, Perhaps I may die for 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 unto us? How easily might one of the people have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldst have brought guiltiness upon 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 his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
Saa bød Abimelek alt Folket: »Hver den, der rører denne Mand eller hans Hustru, skal lide Døden.«
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundred-fold: so the Lord blessed him.
Isak saaede der i Landet og fik samme Aar 100 Fold; og HERREN velsignede ham,
13 And the man became great, and went forward and grew, until he became very great;
saa han blev en mægtig Mand og stadig gik frem, indtil han blev saare mægtig,
14 And he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store 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 which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, these the Philistines stopped, 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 unto Isaac, Go away from us; for thou hast 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 tent 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, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and which 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 the servants of Isaac 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 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Essek; because they strove 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 from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rechoboth, and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall increase 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 from there to Beer-sheba.
Saa drog han derfra til Be'ersjeba.
24 And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraham my servant.
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 there an altar, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched there his tent: and the servants of Isaac dug there 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 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
Imidlertid kom Abimelek til ham fra Gerar med sin Ven Ahuzzat og sin Hærfører Pikol.
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing that ye do hate me, and have sent 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 clearly that the Lord was with thee; and we said, Let there be now an oath between us and thee; and we will 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 shalt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now one blessed of the Lord.
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 up betimes in the morning, and they swore one to the other; 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 which they had dug, and they said unto 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 Shibah: therefore is the name of the city Beer-sheba unto this day.
Saa kaldte han den Sjib'a; og derfor hedder Byen den Dag i Dag Be'ersjeba.
34 And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Bahsemath 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 unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
Det var Isak og Rebekka en Hjertesorg.
