< 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],
Un bads bija tai zemē pēc tā pirmā bada, kas bija Ābrahāma laikā. Un Īzaks nogāja uz Ģeraru pie Abimeleha, Fīlistu ķēniņa.
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!
Un Tas Kungs viņam parādījās un sacīja: nenoej uz Ēģipti, mīti tai zemē, ko Es tev saku.
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.
Piemājo šinī zemē, un Es būšu ar tevi, un Es tevi svētīšu; jo tev un tavam dzimumam Es došu visas šās zemes un piepildīšu to zvērestu, ko Es tavam tēvam Ābrahāmam esmu zvērējis.
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.
Un Es vairošu tavu dzimumu kā debess zvaigznes un došu tavam dzimumam visas šās zemes, un iekš tavas sēklas visas zemes tautas svētīsies, -
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,”]
Tāpēc ka Ābrahāms Manai balsij ir klausījis un turējis Manas pavēles, Manus iestādījumus, likumus un baušļus.
6 [so Isaac] stayed there [along with his wife and sons].
Tā Īzaks mita Ģerarā.
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.”
Un tās vietas ļaudis vaicāja par viņa sievu, - un viņš sacīja: tā ir mana māsa, jo viņam bija bail sacīt: tā ir mana sieva, - lai tās vietas ļaudis mani nenokauj Rebekas dēļ, jo tā bija skaista vaigā.
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.
Un kad viņš labu laiku tur bija dzīvojis, tad Abimelehs, Fīlistu ķēniņš, skatījās pa logu, un redz, Īzaks smējās ar savu sievu Rebeku.
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.”
Tad Abimelehs aicināja Īzaku un sacīja: redzi, tiešām tā ir tava sieva, kā tad tu esi sacījis, tā ir mana māsa? Un Īzaks uz to sacīja: tāpēc ka es domāju, lai man viņas dēļ nebūtu jāmirst.
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!”
Tad Abimelehs sacīja: kāpēc tu mums to esi darījis? Gandrīz viens no šiem ļaudīm būtu varējis gulēt pie tavas sievas, tad tu mums būtu uzvedis noziegumu.
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!”
Un Abimelehs pavēlēja visiem ļaudīm sacīdams: kas šo vīru vai viņa sievu aizskar, tam būs mirt.
12 Isaac planted grain in that land that year, and he harvested a very large crop, because Yahweh blessed him.
Un Īzaks sēja tanī zemē un dabūja tai gadā simtkārtīgus augļus, jo Tas Kungs to svētīja.
13 Isaac continued to acquire more and more possessions, until finally he became very wealthy.
Un tas vīrs tapa liels un auga augumā, kamēr viņš palika ļoti liels.
14 He had large herds of sheep and goats and cattle, and many slaves. Because of that, the Philistine people envied him.
Un tam bija manta no sīkiem un manta no lieliem lopiem un daudz saimes, un Fīlisti viņu apskauda.
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.
Un visas akas, ko viņa tēva kalpi bija rakuši viņa tēva Ābrahāma laikā, tās Fīlisti aizbēra un pildīja ar smiltīm.
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.”
Un Abimelehs sacīja uz Īzaku: ej projām no mums, jo tu esi palicis jo varenāks nekā mēs.
17 So Isaac [and his family] moved from there. They set up their tents in Gerar Valley [and started to live there].
Tad Īzaks no turienes aizgāja un nometās Ģeraras ielejā, un dzīvoja tur.
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.
Un Īzaks atkal atraka tās ūdens akas, kas bija raktas viņa tēva Ābrahāma laikā, un ko Fīlisti pēc tam bija aizbēruši, kad Ābrahāms bija miris, un viņš viņu vārdus nosauca pēc tiem vārdiem, ar ko viņa tēvs tās bija nosaucis.
19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water.
Un Īzaka kalpi raka tanī ielejā un tur atrada aku ar dzīvu ūdeni.
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.
Bet Ģeraras gani bārās ar Īzaka ganiem sacīdami: šis ūdens mums pieder. Tad viņš tās akas vārdu nosauca Eseku (strīdus), tāpēc ka tie ar viņu bija strīdējušies.
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]’.
Tad tie raka citu aku, un par to arīdzan bārās; tāpēc viņš viņas vārdu nosauca Sitna (sūdzība).
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.”
Un viņš cēlās no turienes un raka citu aku, un tie par to nebārās; tad viņš viņas vārdu nosauca Rehobot (platums) un sacīja: jo nu Tas Kungs mūs ir izplatījis, un mēs esam augļojušies šinī zemē.
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba.
Tad viņš no turienes gāja augšup uz Bēršebu.
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.”
Un Tas Kungs viņam parādījās tanī naktī un sacīja: Es esmu Ābrahāma, tava tēva Dievs; nebīsties, jo Es esmu ar tevi un tevi svētīšu un vairošu tavu dzimumu Ābrahāma, Sava kalpa, dēļ.
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.
Un viņš tur uztaisīja altāri un piesauca Tā Kunga vārdu un tur uzcēla savu telti, un Īzaka kalpi tur raka vienu aku.
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.
Un Abimelehs nāca pie tā no Ģeraras, un viens no viņa draugiem Aūzats un Pīkols, viņa karaspēka virsnieks.
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?”
Tad Īzaks uz tiem sacīja: kāpēc jūs nākat pie manis, jūs, kas mani ienīstat un mani no sevis esat izdzinuši?
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,
Un tie sacīja: mēs redzēt redzam, ka Tas Kungs ir ar tevi; tad esam sacījuši: sazvērēsimies kopā, mēs un tu, un darīsim derību ar tevi,
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.”
Ka tu mums ļauna nedari, (it) kā mēs tevi neesam aizskāruši, un (it) kā mēs tev labu vien esam darījuši un tevi ar mieru atlaiduši; tu nu esi Tā Kunga svētīts.
30 So Isaac made a feast for them, and they all ate and drank.
Un viņš tiem darīja dzīres, un tie ēda un dzēra,
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.
Un cēlās rītā agri un zvērēja viens otram, un Īzaks tos atlaida; tad tie no viņa aizgāja ar mieru.
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!”
Un tanī dienā Īzaka kalpi nāca un viņam sacīja, kas bija noticis ar to aku, ko tie bija rakuši, un viņam sacīja: mēs esam ūdeni atraduši.
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’].
Un viņš to nosauca Šebu (zvērests), tādēļ tās pilsētas vārds ir Bēršeba līdz šai dienai.
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].
Un Ēsavs bija četrdesmit gadus vecs un ņēma par sievu Juditu, Berus, tā Hetieša, meitu, un Basmatu, Elona, tā Hetieša, meitu.
35 Esau’s two wives made life miserable for Isaac and Rebekah.
Un tās darīja sirdēstus Īzakam un Rebekai.
