Kejadian 26

1 Di negeri itu timbul lagi kelaparan seperti yang telah terjadi pada zaman Abraham. Ishak menghadap Abimelekh, raja orang Filistin, di Gerar dan minta izin untuk tinggal di sana.

And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines to Gerara.

2 Hal itu dilakukannya karena TUHAN telah menampakkan diri kepadanya dan berkata, "Jangan pergi ke Mesir; tinggallah di negeri ini, seperti yang telah Kuperintahkan kepadamu.

And the Lord appeared to him and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.

3 Aku akan melindungi dan memberkatimu. Seluruh wilayah ini akan Kuberikan kepadamu dan kepada keturunanmu. Aku akan menepati janji yang telah Kuberikan kepada Abraham ayahmu.

And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.

4 Aku akan memberikan kepadamu anak cucu sebanyak bintang di langit, dan seluruh wilayah ini akan Kuberikan kepada mereka. Semua bangsa di bumi akan mohon kepada-Ku supaya Aku memberkati mereka sebagaimana telah Kuberkati keturunanmu.

And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.

5 Aku akan memberkati kamu, karena Abraham telah mentaati Aku dan memelihara segala hukum dan perintah-Ku."

Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.

6 Jadi tinggallah Ishak di Gerar.

So Isaac abode in Gerara.

7 Ketika orang-orang di situ bertanya tentang Ribka, Ishak menjawab bahwa dia itu adiknya, dan bukan istrinya. Ishak takut orang-orang itu akan membunuhnya untuk mendapat Ribka yang amat cantik itu.

And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty.

8 Setelah Ishak tinggal di sana beberapa lama, pada suatu hari Raja Abimelekh memandang dari jendelanya, dan dilihatnya Ishak sedang bercumbu-cumbu dengan Ribka.

And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca his wife.

9 Maka dipanggilnya Ishak dan ia berkata, "Bukankah wanita itu istrimu? Mengapa engkau mengatakan bahwa dia adikmu?" Jawab Ishak, "Saya pikir, saya akan dibunuh jika mengatakan bahwa dia istri saya."

And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.

10 "Apa yang telah kaulakukan terhadap kami?" kata Abimelekh. "Salah seorang dari rakyatku bisa saja tidur dengan istrimu, dan kalau hal itu terjadi, engkaulah yang bertanggung jawab atas kesalahan kami itu."

And Abimelech said: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying:

11 Kemudian Abimelekh memperingatkan seluruh rakyatnya demikian, "Barangsiapa mengganggu orang ini atau istrinya, akan dihukum mati."

He that shall touch this man’s wife, shall surely be put to death.

12 Ishak menaburkan bibit untuk bercocok tanam di negeri itu, dan tahun itu mendapat hasil seratus kali lipat dari yang ditaburkannya, karena TUHAN memberkati dia.

And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.

13 Kekayaannya semakin bertambah dan ia menjadi kaya raya.

And the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great:

14 Orang Filistin cemburu kepadanya karena ia mempunyai banyak hamba, kawanan domba dan sapi.

And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying him,

15 Lalu mereka menimbuni dengan tanah semua sumur yang telah digali oleh hamba-hamba Abraham semasa ia masih hidup.

Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:

16 Kemudian Abimelekh berkata kepada Ishak, "Pergilah dari negeri kami. Engkau sudah lebih berkuasa dari kami."

Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.

17 Jadi pergilah Ishak dan berkemah di Lembah Gerar. Di situ ia tinggal beberapa lamanya.

So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell there:

18 Dia menggali kembali sumur-sumur yang telah digali pada zaman Abraham dan yang telah ditimbuni dengan tanah oleh orang Filistin sepeninggal Abraham. Sumur-sumur itu diberi nama yang sama seperti yang diberikan ayahnya.

And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called them.

19 Hamba-hamba Ishak menggali sumur di Lembah Gerar itu dan menemukan air berlimpah-limpah.

And they digged in the torrent, and found living water.

20 Tetapi para gembala di Gerar bertengkar dengan para gembala Ishak. Kata mereka, "Air ini milik kami." Karena itu Ishak menamakan sumur itu "Pertengkaran".

But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.

21 Hamba-hamba Ishak menggali sumur yang lain lagi, maka terjadilah pertengkaran mengenai sumur itu juga. Karena itu, Ishak menamakan sumur itu "Permusuhan".

And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.

22 Kemudian ia pindah dari situ dan menggali sumur yang ketiga. Kali ini tidak terjadi pertengkaran. Karena itu, Ishak menamakan sumur itu "Kebebasan". Katanya, "Sekarang TUHAN telah memberi kita kebebasan untuk tinggal di negeri ini, dan kita akan menjadi makmur di sini."

Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.

23 Kemudian Ishak berangkat dan tiba di Bersyeba.

And he went up from that place to Bersabee,

24 Pada malam itu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepadanya dan berkata, "Akulah Allah ayahmu Abraham. Jangan takut; Aku melindungimu. Aku akan memberkatimu dan memberi kepadamu keturunan yang banyak karena janji-Ku kepada hamba-Ku Abraham."

Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.

25 Lalu Ishak mendirikan mezbah dan menyembah TUHAN di tempat itu. Ia berkemah di situ dan hamba-hambanya menggali sumur yang lain.

And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded his servants to dig a well.

26 Pada suatu hari datanglah Abimelekh dari Gerar, dengan Ahuzat, penasihatnya, dan Pikhol, panglima tentaranya, untuk menemui Ishak.

To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,

27 Maka bertanyalah Ishak, "Mengapa kalian datang menemui saya sekarang, padahal dahulu kalian memusuhi dan mengusir saya dari negeri kalian?"

Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you?

28 Lalu mereka menjawab, "Sekarang kami tahu bahwa TUHAN melindungi engkau dan pada hemat kami sebaiknya kita mengadakan perjanjian. Bersumpahlah

And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,

29 bahwa engkau tidak akan berbuat jahat terhadap kami, sebagaimana kami pun tidak pernah berbuat jahat terhadapmu. Kami telah bersikap baik terhadapmu dan membiarkan engkau pergi dengan damai. Sudah jelas bagi kami bahwa TUHAN memberkati engkau."

That thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing of the Lord.

30 Kemudian Ishak menjamu mereka, dan mereka makan dan minum.

And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:

31 Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi masing-masing mengucapkan janji yang disahkan dengan sumpah. Lalu Ishak mengucapkan selamat jalan kepada mereka dan berpisahlah mereka sebagai sahabat.

Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.

32 Pada hari itu juga hamba-hamba Ishak datang dan melaporkan kepadanya tentang sumur yang telah mereka gali. Kata mereka, "Kami telah mendapatkan air."

And behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water.

33 Lalu Ishak menamakan sumur itu "Sumpah". Itulah asal mulanya kota itu dinamakan Bersyeba.

Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day.

34 Ketika Esau berumur empat puluh tahun, ia menikah dengan dua gadis dari suku bangsa Het, yaitu Yudit anak Beeri, dan Basmat anak Elon.

And Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon of the same place.

35 Kedua wanita itu menyusahkan hidup Ishak dan Ribka.

And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.
