Genesis 26
1 And there came to be a famine in the land, besides the first famine which happened in the days of Abraham, —so Isaac went his way unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines towards 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 Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, do not go down towards Egypt, —Make thy habitation in the land, which I may name unto thee:
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, that I may be with thee and bless thee, —for, to thee, and to thy seed, will I give all these lands, So will I establish the oath which I sware to Abraham thy father;
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 will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and will give to thy seed, all these lands, —And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in thy 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 hearkened unto my voice, —and so 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 So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
Så blev Isak boende i Gerar.
7 Then asked the men of the place as to his wife, and he said, My sister, is she, —For he feared to say My wife, lest [said he] the men of the place should slay me on account of Rebekah, for fair to look on, she is.
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 came to pass when the days had lengthened out to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines, looked out through the lattice of a window, —and he beheld and lo! Isaac—laughing with Rebekah his wife.
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 So Abimelech called for Isaac, and said, But lo she is, thy wife! How then, saidst thou, She is, my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because, I said, Lest I die on her account.
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 Then, said, Abimelech, What is this thou hast done to us? A little more, and one of the people might have lien with thy wife, so shouldst thou have brought upon 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 commanded all the people saying, —He that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely be put to death
Så bød Abimelek alt Folket: "Hver den, der rører denne Mand eller hans Hustru, skal lide Døden."
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year, a hundredfold, —seeing that Yahweh had blessed him.
Isak såede der i Landet og fik samme År 100 Fold; og HERREN velsignede ham,
13 So the man waxed great, —and went on and on waxing great until that he had waxed exceeding great.
så han blev en mægtig Mand og stadig gik frem, indtil han blev såre mægtig,
14 So he came to have possessions of flocks and possessions of herds, and a large body of servants, —and the Philistines envied him.
og han havde Småkvæg og Hornkvæg og Trælle i Mængde. Derover blev Filisterne skinsyge på ham.
15 And as for all the wells which the servants of his father digged, in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up, and filled 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 said unto Isaac, —Get thee from us, for thou hast become far mightier than we.
og Abimelek sagde til Isak: "Drag bort fra os, thi du er blevet os for stærk!"
17 So Isaac went from thence, —and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Så drog Isak bort og slog Lejr i Gerars Dal og bosatte sig der.
18 And Isaac again digged the wells of water which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines stopped up after the death of Abraham, —and he called their names, after 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 digged in the valley, —and found there a well of living water.
Da nu Isaks Trælle gravede i Dalen, stødte de på en Brønd med rindende Vand;
20 And the herdmen of Gerar disputed with the herdmen of Isaac saying, Ours, is the, water! So he called the name of the well Esek, because they had stirred up a quarrel 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 digged another well, and they disputed over that also, —so he called the name thereof Sitnah.
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 moved on from thence and digged another well, and they disputed not for it, —so he called the name thereof. Rehoboth, and said, For, now, hath Yahweh made room for us, and we shall be 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 went up from thence, to Beer-sheba.
Så drog han derfra til Be'ersjeba.
24 And Yahweh appeared unto him the same night, and said, I, am the God of Abraham thy father, —Do not fear for with thee, am, I, And I will bless thee and multiply thy seed, For the sake of Abraham my servant.
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 So he builded there all altar and called on the name of Yahweh, and spread out there, his tent, —and the servants of Isaac cut out there 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, came unto him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol, commander of his host.
Imidlertid kom Abimelek til ham fra Gerar med sin Ven Ahuzzat og sin Hærfører Pikol.
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore have ye come in mite me, seeing that, ye, hated me, and sent 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 said: We, saw plainly, that Yahweh was with thee, so we said, Let there be we pray thee an oath betwixt us both, betwixt us and thee, —and let us solemnise 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 wilt not do wrong by us, according as we touched not thee, and according as we did by thee nothing but good, and then sent thee away in peace, thee who, now, art blessed of Yahweh!
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 So he made for them a banquet, and they did eat and drink, —
Så gjorde han et Gæstebud for dem, og de spiste og drak.
31 and rose up early in the morning, and took an oath each man to his brother, so Isaac let them go, 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, on the same day, that the servants of Isaac came in, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said 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 So he called it, Shibah. For this cause, hath the name of the city, been Beer-sheba, unto this day.
Så 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, daughter of Beeri. the Hittite; and Basemath, 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 became a bitterness of spirit, to Isaac and to Rebekah.
Det var Isak og Rebekka en Hjertesorg.
