Genesis 26
1 And there is a famine in the land, besides the first famine which was in the days of Abraham, and Isaac goes to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Da der opstod Hungersnød i Landet - en anden end den forrige på Abrahams Tid - begav Isak sig til Filisterkongen Abimelek i Gerar.
2 And YHWH appears to him and says, “Do not go down toward Egypt, dwell in the land concerning which I speak to you,
Og HERREN åbenbarede 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 am with you, and bless you, for to you and to your seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to your father Abraham;
bo som fremmed i det Land, så 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 have multiplied your seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to your seed all these lands; and all nations of the earth have blessed themselves in your Seed;
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 has listened to My voice, and keeps My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.”
fordi Abraham adlød mine Ord og holdt sig mine Forskrifter efterrettelig, mine Bud, Anordninger og Love."
6 And Isaac dwells in Gerar;
Så blev Isak boende i Gerar.
7 and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he says, “She [is] my sister”: for he has been afraid to say, “My wife—lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is] of good appearance.”
Da nu Mændene der på 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 på Stedet skulde slå ham ihjel for Rebekkas Skyld; thi hun var meget smuk.
8 And it comes to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looks through the window, and sees, and behold, Isaac is playing with his wife Rebekah.
Men da han havde boet der en Tid lang, hændte det, at Filisterkongen Abimelek lænede sig ud af Vinduet og så Isak kærtegne sin Hustru Rebekka.
9 And Abimelech calls for Isaac and says, “Behold, she [is] surely your wife; and how could you have said, She [is] my sister?” And Isaac says to him, “Because I said, Lest I die for her.”
Så 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 says, “What [is] this you have done to us? As a little thing one of the people had lain with your wife, and you had brought on us guilt”;
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 så havde du bragt Skyld over os!"
11 and Abimelech commands all the people, saying, “He who comes against this man or against his wife, dying does die.”
Så bød Abimelek alt Folket: "Hver den, der rører denne Mand eller hans Hustru, skal lide Døden."
12 And Isaac sows in that land, and finds in that year a hundredfold, and YHWH blesses him;
Isak såede der i Landet og fik samme År 100 Fold; og HERREN velsignede ham,
13 and the man is great, and goes on, going on and becoming great, until he has been very great,
så han blev en mægtig Mand og stadig gik frem, indtil han blev såre mægtig,
14 and he has possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy him,
og han havde Småkvæg og Hornkvæg og Trælle i Mængde. Derover blev Filisterne skinsyge på ham.
15 and all the wells which his father’s servants dug in the days of his father Abraham, the Philistines have stopped them, and fill them with dust.
Alle de Brønde, hans Faders Trælle havde gravet i hans Fader Abrahams Dage, kastede Filisterne til. og fyldte dem med Jord;
16 And Abimelech says to Isaac, “Go from us; for you have become much mightier than we”;
og Abimelek sagde til Isak: "Drag bort fra os, thi du er blevet os for stærk!"
17 and Isaac goes from there, and encamps in the Valley of Gerar, and dwells there;
Så drog Isak bort og slog Lejr i Gerars Dal og bosatte sig der.
18 and Isaac turns back, and digs the wells of water which they dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines have stopped after the death of Abraham, and he calls to them names according to the names which his father 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 dig in the valley, and find there a well of living water,
Da nu Isaks Trælle gravede i Dalen, stødte de på en Brønd med rindende Vand;
20 and shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, “The water [is] ours”; and he calls the name of the well “Strife,” because they have striven habitually 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 dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calls its name “Hatred.”
Så flyttede han derfra og lod grave en ny Brønd; og da de også yppede Kiv om den, kaldte han den Sitna.
22 And he removes from there, and digs another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calls its name “Enlargements,” and says, “For—now has YHWH given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.”
Så 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, så vi kan blive talrige i Landet"
23 And he goes up from there [to] Beer-Sheba,
Så drog han derfra til Be'ersjeba.
24 and YHWH appears to him during that night and says, “I [am] the God of your father Abraham, do not fear, for I [am] with you, and have blessed you, and have multiplied your seed, because of My servant Abraham”;
Samme Nat åbenbarede 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 builds there an altar, and preaches in the Name of YHWH, and stretches out there his tent, and there Isaac’s servants dig a well.
Da byggede Isak et Alter der og påkaldte HERRENs Navn; og der opslog han sit Telt, og hans Trælle gravede der en Brønd.
26 And Abimelech has gone to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol head of his host;
Imidlertid kom Abimelek til ham fra Gerar med sin Ven Ahuzzat og sin Hærfører Pikol.
27 and Isaac says to them, “Why have you come to me, and you have hated me, and you send me away from you?”
Isak sagde til dem: "Hvorfor kommer I til mig, når I dog hader mig og har jaget mig bort fra eder?"
28 And they say, “We have certainly seen that YHWH has been with you, and we say, Now let there be an oath between us, between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you;
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 do no evil with us, as we have not touched you, and as we have only done good with you, and send you away in peace; you [are] now blessed of YHWH.”
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 makes a banquet for them, and they eat and drink,
Så gjorde han et Gæstebud for dem, og de spiste og drak.
31 and rise early in the morning, and swear to one another, and Isaac sends them away, and they go 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 comes to pass during that day that Isaac’s servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances of the well which they have dug, and say 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 calls it Shebah, [oath, ] therefore the name of the city [is] Beer-Sheba, [Well of the Oath, ] to this day.
Så kaldte han den Sjib'a; og derfor hedder Byen den Dag i Dag Be'ersjeba.
34 And Esau is a son of forty years, and he takes a wife, Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite,
Da Esau var fyrretyve År gammel, tog han Judit, en Datter af Hetiten Be'eri, og Basemat, en Datter af Hetiten Elon, til Ægte.
35 and they are a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
Det var Isak og Rebekka en Hjertesorg.
