Genesis 26
1 Some time later there was a severe (famine/scarcity of food) there. That was different from the famine that occurred when Abraham was alive. So Isaac went [southeast] to Gerar [town, to talk] to Abimelech, the king of the Philistine people-group. [What happened was this: Isaac considered going to Egypt],
И настана глад по земята, освен първия глад, който беше в Авраамовите дни, та Исаак отиде в Герар, при филистимския цар Авимелех,
2 but Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt! Live in the land where I will tell you to go!
защото Господ беше му се явил и рекъл: Не слизай в Египет; живей в земята, за която ще ти кажа;
3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will help you and bless you, because it is to you and your descendants that I will give all these lands, and I will do what I solemnly promised to your father.
остани в тая земя и Аз ще бъда с тебе и ще те благословя, защото на тебе и на потомството ти ще дам всички тия земи, в утвърждение на клетвата, с която се заклех на баща ти Авраама;
4 I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as the stars in the sky. I will give to your descendants all these lands, and I will cause your descendants to be a blessing to the people of [MTY] all nations on the earth.
и ще умножа потомството ти като небесните звезди, и ще дам на потомството ти всички тия земи; и в твоето потомство ще се благославят всичките народи на земята;
5 I will do that because your father Abraham obeyed me. He obeyed everything that I told him to do, everything that I declared and all the laws that I gave him.” So Isaac [went and asked King Abimelech if he would permit him to live in the Gerar area. The king said, “Okay,”]
понеже Авраам послуша гласа Ми и опази заръчването Ми, заповедите Ми, повеленията Ми и законите Ми.
6 [so Isaac] stayed there [along with his wife and sons].
Затова Исаак се настани в Герар.
7 When the men in Gerar [town] asked who Rebekah was, Isaac said, “She is my sister.” He said that because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “Rebekah is very beautiful, so they will want her. [If I say that she is my sister, they know they will have to negotiate about a bride price because I am her older brother; but if I say that she is my wife, no negotiation will be possible]. They will just kill me to get her.”
И местните жители го запитаха за жена му; а той рече: Сестра ми е; защото се боеше да каже: Жена ми е, като си думаше: Да не би местните жители да ме убият поради Ревека; понеже тя беше красива на глед.
8 When Isaac had been there a long time, one day Abimelech, the king of the Philistine people-group, looked down from a window [in his palace] and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
А след като беше преседял там дълго време, филистимският цар Авимелех, като погледна от прозореца, видя, че Исаак играеше с жена си Ревека.
9 So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said to him, “Now I realize that she is really your wife! So why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied to him, “I said that because I thought that someone here might kill me to get her.”
Тогава Авимелех повика Исаака и рече: Ето, тя наистина ти е жена; а защо каза ти: Сестра ми е? Исаак му каза: Защото си рекох да не би да бъда убит поради нея.
10 Abimelech said, “(You should not have done this to us!/Why did you do this?) [RHQ] One of our people might have (had sex with/slept with) [EUP] your wife, and you would have caused us to be guilty of a great sin!”
И рече Авимелех: Що е това, което си ни сторил? Лесно можеше някой от людете да лежи с жена ти и ти щеше да ни навлечеш грях.
11 Then Abimelech commanded all his people, saying, “Do not harm/molest this man or his wife! Anyone who does that will surely be executed!”
Затова Авимелех заръча на всичките люде, казвайки: Който докачи тоя човек или жена му, непременно ще се умъртви.
12 Isaac planted grain in that land that year, and he harvested a very large crop, because Yahweh blessed him.
И Исаак пося в оная земя и събра през същото лято стократно; и Господ го благослови.
13 Isaac continued to acquire more and more possessions, until finally he became very wealthy.
Човекът се възвеличаваше и продължаваше да става велик, догдето стана твърде велик.
14 He had large herds of sheep and goats and cattle, and many slaves. Because of that, the Philistine people envied him.
Той придоби овци, придоби и говеда, и много слуги; а филистимците му завиждаха;
15 So all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug during the time when he was alive, the people filled up with dirt.
и филистимците затрупаха и напълниха с пръст всичките кладенци, които бащините му слуги бяха изкопали в дните на баща му Авраама.
16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “You people have become more numerous than we are, so I want you to get out of our area.”
И Авимелех каза на Исаака: Иди си от нас, защото си станал много по-силен от нас.
17 So Isaac [and his family] moved from there. They set up their tents in Gerar Valley [and started to live there].
Затова Исаак си отиде от там, разпъна шатрите си в Герарската долина и там живееше.
18 There were several wells in that area that had been dug when Isaac’s father Abraham was living, but Philistine people had filled them up [with dirt] after Abraham died. Now Isaac and his servants removed the dirt, and Isaac gave the wells the same names that his father had given to them.
А Исаак изкопа наново водните кладенци, които бяха изкопани в дните на баща му Авраама, (защото филистимците ги бяха затрупали след Авраамовата смърт) и нарече ги по имената, с които баща му беше ги нарекъл.
19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water.
И Исааковите слуги копаха в долината и намериха там кладенец с текуща вода.
20 But other men who lived in Gerar [Valley] who took care of their animals argued/quarreled with the men who took care of Isaac’s animals, and said, “The water in this well is ours!” So Isaac named the well Esek, which means ‘dispute’, because they disputed about who owned it.
Но Герарските говедари се караха с Исааковите говедари, казвайки: Наша е водата. Затова Исаак нарече кладенеца Есен, понеже се караха за него.
21 Then Isaac’s servants dug another well, but they quarreled about who owned that one also. So Isaac named it Sitnah, [which means ‘opposition]’.
После изкопаха друг кладенец, но и за него се караха; затова го нарече Ситна.
22 They moved on from there and dug another well, but this time no one quarreled about who owned it. So Isaac named it Rehoboth, [which means ‘uninhabited place’], saying, “Yahweh has given us an uninhabited place to live in, a place that is not wanted by other people, and we will become very prosperous here.”
Тогава той се премести оттам и изкопа друг кладенец; и за него не се караха. И нарече го Роовот
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba.
От там отиде във Вирсавее.
24 The first night that he was there, Yahweh appeared to him and said, “I am God, whom your father Abraham worshiped. Do not be afraid of anything. I will help you and bless you, and because of what I promised my servant Abraham, I will greatly increase the number of your descendants.”
И Господ му се яви през същата нощ и рече: Аз съм Бог на баща ти Авраама; не бой се, защото Аз съм с тебе, ще те благословя и ще умножа твоето потомство, заради слугата ми Авраама.
25 So Isaac built a stone altar there [and offered a sacrifice] to worship Yahweh. He [and his servants] set up their tents there, and his servants started to dig a well.
И той издигна там олтар призова Господното име; разпъна и шатъра си там, и там Исааковите слуги изкопаха кладенец.
26 [While they were digging the well], King Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, along with Ahuzzath, his advisor, and Phicol, the commander of his army.
Тогава Авимелех отиде при него от Герар с приятеля си Оховата и военачалника си Фихола
27 Isaac asked them, “You (acted in a hostile way toward me/treated me like an enemy) before, and sent me away. So why have you come to me now?”
И Исаак им рече: Защо сте дошли при мене, като ме мразите и ме изпъдихте изпомежду си?
28 One of them answered, “We have seen that Yahweh helps you. So we said to each other, ‘We should have an agreement between us and you. We should make a peace treaty with you,
А те казаха: Видяхме явно, че Господ е с тебе и си рекохме: Нека се положи клетва между нас, между нас и тебе, и нека направим договор с тебе,
29 stating that you will not harm us, in the same way that we did not molest [EUP] you.’ We always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now Yahweh is blessing you.”
че няма да ни сториш зло, както и ние не те докачихме, и както само добро ти правихме и те изпратихме с мир. Сега виждаме, че ти си благословеният от Господа.
30 So Isaac made a feast for them, and they all ate and drank.
Тогава Исаак им даде угощение и те ядоха и пиха.
31 Early the next morning they all (swore/solemnly promised) each other that they would do what they had promised. Then Isaac sent them home peacefully.
На сутринта станаха рано и се заклеха един за друг; после Исаак ги изпрати и те си отидоха от него с мир.
32 That day Isaac’s servants came to him and told him about the well that they had finished digging. They said, “We found water in the well!”
И в същия ден Исааковите слуги дойдоха и му известиха за кладенеца, който бяха изкопали и му рекоха: Намерихме вода.
33 Isaac named the well Shibah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘oath’]. To the present time the town there has the name Beersheba [which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’].
И нарече го Савее; от това името на града е Вирсавее до днес.
34 When Esau was 40 years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon. Both of those women were descendants of Heth, [not from Isaac’s clan].
А когато Исав беше на четиридесет години, взе за жена Юдита, дъщеря на хетееца Веири, и Васемата, дъщеря на хетееца Елон.
35 Esau’s two wives made life miserable for Isaac and Rebekah.
Те бяха горчивина за душата на Исаака и Ревека.
