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.

Now a famine happened in the land, besides the first famine that had been in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines at Gerar.

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.

Now Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land that I tell you to live in.

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.

Stay in this very land, and I will be with you and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will fulfill the oath that I swore to Abraham your 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.

I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and will give to your descendants all these lands. Through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed.

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

I will do this because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my instructions, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”

6 Jadi tinggallah Ishak di Gerar.

So Isaac settled in Gerar.

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.

When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” He feared to say, “She is my wife,” because he thought, “The men of this place will kill me to get Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”

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

After Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines happened to look out of a window. He saw, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, 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."

Abimelech called Isaac to him and said, “Look, certainly she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?” Isaac said to him, “Because I thought someone might kill me to get her.”

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."

Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”

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

So Abimelech warned all the people and said, “Whoever touches this man or his wife will 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.

Isaac planted crops in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold, because Yahweh blessed him.

13 Kekayaannya semakin bertambah dan ia menjadi kaya raya.

The man became rich, and grew more and more until he became very great.

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

He had many sheep and cattle, and a large household. The Philistines envied him.

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

Now all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up by filling them with earth.

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

Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”

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

So Isaac departed from there and settled in the Valley of Gerar, and lived 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.

Once again Isaac dug out the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. The Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham's death. Isaac called the wells by the same names that his father had called them.

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

When Isaac's servants dug in the valley, they found there a well of flowing 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".

The herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, and said, “This water is ours.” So Isaac called that well “Esek,” because they had quarreled with him.

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

Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that, too, so he gave it the name of “Sitnah.”

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."

He left there and dug yet another well, but they did not quarrel over that one. So he called it Rehoboth, and he said, “Now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”

23 Kemudian Ishak berangkat dan tiba di Bersyeba.

Then Isaac went up from there to Beersheba.

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."

Yahweh appeared to him that same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not fear, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants, 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.

Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of Yahweh. There he pitched his tent, and his servants dug a well.

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

Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the captain of his army.

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 you coming to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?”

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

Then they said, “We have clearly seen that Yahweh has been with you. So we decided that there should be an oath between us, yes, between us and you. So let us make a covenant with you,

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 you will do us no harm, just as we have not harmed you, and as we have treated you well and have sent you away in peace. Indeed, you are blessed by Yahweh.”

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

So Isaac made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

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.

They rose early in the morning and swore an oath with each other. Then Isaac sent them away, and they left him in peace.

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

That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well that they had dug. They said, “We have found water.”

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

He called the well Shibah, so the name of that city is Beersheba 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.

When Esau was forty years old, he took a wife, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35 Kedua wanita itu menyusahkan hidup Ishak dan Ribka.

They brought sorrow to Isaac and Rebekah.
