< Kejadian 26 >
1 Maka timbullah kelaparan di negeri itu. --Ini bukan kelaparan yang pertama, yang telah terjadi dalam zaman Abraham. Sebab itu Ishak pergi ke Gerar, kepada Abimelekh, raja orang Filistin.
And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.
2 Lalu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepadanya serta berfirman: "Janganlah pergi ke Mesir, diamlah di negeri yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu.
And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell you of.
3 Tinggallah di negeri ini sebagai orang asing, maka Aku akan menyertai engkau dan memberkati engkau, sebab kepadamulah dan kepada keturunanmu akan Kuberikan seluruh negeri ini, dan Aku akan menepati sumpah yang telah Kuikrarkan kepada Abraham, ayahmu.
And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam.
4 Aku akan membuat banyak keturunanmu seperti bintang di langit; Aku akan memberikan kepada keturunanmu seluruh negeri ini, dan oleh keturunanmu semua bangsa di bumi akan mendapat berkat,
And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed.
5 karena Abraham telah mendengarkan firman-Ku dan memelihara kewajibannya kepada-Ku, yaitu segala perintah, ketetapan dan hukum-Ku."
Because Abraam your father listened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.
6 Jadi tinggallah Ishak di Gerar.
And Isaac lived in Gerara.
7 Ketika orang-orang di tempat itu bertanya tentang isterinya, berkatalah ia: "Dia saudaraku," sebab ia takut mengatakan: "Ia isteriku," karena pikirnya: "Jangan-jangan aku dibunuh oleh penduduk tempat ini karena Ribka, sebab elok parasnya."
And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should kill him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.
8 Setelah beberapa lama ia ada di sana, pada suatu kali menjenguklah Abimelekh, raja orang Filistin itu dari jendela, maka dilihatnya Ishak sedang bercumbu-cumbuan dengan Ribka, isterinya.
And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.
9 Lalu Abimelekh memanggil Ishak dan berkata: "Sesungguhnya dia isterimu, masakan engkau berkata: Dia saudaraku?" Jawab Ishak kepadanya: "Karena pikirku: Jangan-jangan aku mati karena dia."
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then your wife? why have you said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.
10 Tetapi Abimelekh berkata: "Apakah juga yang telah kauperbuat ini terhadap kami? Mudah sekali terjadi, salah seorang dari bangsa ini tidur dengan isterimu, sehingga dengan demikian engkau mendatangkan kesalahan atas kami."
And Abimelech said to him, Why have you done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with your wife, and you would have brought [a sin of] ignorance upon us.
11 Lalu Abimelekh memberi perintah kepada seluruh bangsa itu: "Siapa yang mengganggu orang ini atau isterinya, pastilah ia akan dihukum mati."
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.
12 Maka menaburlah Ishak di tanah itu dan dalam tahun itu juga ia mendapat hasil seratus kali lipat; sebab ia diberkati TUHAN.
And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.
13 Dan orang itu menjadi kaya, bahkan kian lama kian kaya, sehingga ia menjadi sangat kaya.
And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
14 Ia mempunyai kumpulan kambing domba dan lembu sapi serta banyak anak buah, sehingga orang Filistin itu cemburu kepadanya.
And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.
15 Segala sumur, yang digali dalam zaman Abraham, ayahnya, oleh hamba-hamba ayahnya itu, telah ditutup oleh orang Filistin dan ditimbun dengan tanah.
And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 Lalu kata Abimelekh kepada Ishak: "Pergilah dari tengah-tengah kami sebab engkau telah menjadi jauh lebih berkuasa dari pada kami."
And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for you are become much mightier than we.
17 Jadi pergilah Ishak dari situ dan berkemahlah ia di lembah Gerar, dan ia menetap di situ.
And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and lived there.
18 Kemudian Ishak menggali kembali sumur-sumur yang digali dalam zaman Abraham, ayahnya, dan yang telah ditutup oleh orang Filistin sesudah Abraham mati; disebutkannyalah nama sumur-sumur itu menurut nama-nama yang telah diberikan oleh ayahnya.
And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.
19 Ketika hamba-hamba Ishak menggali di lembah itu, mereka mendapati di situ mata air yang berbual-bual airnya.
And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.
20 Lalu bertengkarlah para gembala Gerar dengan para gembala Ishak. Kata mereka: "Air ini kepunyaan kami." Dan Ishak menamai sumur itu Esek, karena mereka bertengkar dengan dia di sana.
And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him.
21 Kemudian mereka menggali sumur lain, dan mereka bertengkar juga tentang itu. Maka Ishak menamai sumur itu Sitna.
And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.
22 Ia pindah dari situ dan menggali sumur yang lain lagi, tetapi tentang sumur ini mereka tidak bertengkar. Sumur ini dinamainya Rehobot, dan ia berkata: "Sekarang TUHAN telah memberikan kelonggaran kepada kita, sehingga kita dapat beranak cucu di negeri ini."
And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.
23 Dari situ ia pergi ke Bersyeba.
And he went up thence to the well of the oath.
24 Lalu pada malam itu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepadanya serta berfirman: "Akulah Allah ayahmu Abraham; janganlah takut, sebab Aku menyertai engkau; Aku akan memberkati engkau dan membuat banyak keturunanmu karena Abraham, hamba-Ku itu."
And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam your father; fear not, for I am with you, and I will bless you, and multiply your seed for the sake of Abraam your father.
25 Sesudah itu Ishak mendirikan mezbah di situ dan memanggil nama TUHAN. Ia memasang kemahnya di situ, lalu hamba-hambanya menggali sumur di situ.
And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.
26 Datanglah Abimelekh dari Gerar mendapatkannya, bersama-sama dengan Ahuzat, sahabatnya, dan Pikhol, kepala pasukannya.
And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.
27 Tetapi kata Ishak kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu datang mendapatkan aku? Bukankah kamu benci kepadaku, dan telah menyuruh aku keluar dari tanahmu?"
And Isaac said to them, Therefore have you come to me? whereas you hated me, and sent me away from you.
28 Jawab mereka: "Kami telah melihat sendiri, bahwa TUHAN menyertai engkau; sebab itu kami berkata: baiklah kita mengadakan sumpah setia, antara kami dan engkau; dan baiklah kami mengikat perjanjian dengan engkau,
And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with you, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and we will make a covenant with you,
29 bahwa engkau tidak akan berbuat jahat kepada kami, seperti kami tidak mengganggu engkau, dan seperti kami semata-mata berbuat baik kepadamu dan membiarkan engkau pergi dengan damai; bukankah engkau sekarang yang diberkati TUHAN."
that you shall do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred you, and according as we have treated you well, and have sent you forth peaceably; and now you are blessed of the Lord.
30 Kemudian Ishak mengadakan perjamuan bagi mereka, lalu mereka makan dan minum.
And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31 Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi bersumpah-sumpahanlah mereka. Kemudian Ishak melepas mereka, dan mereka meninggalkan dia dengan damai.
And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.
32 Pada hari itu datanglah hamba-hamba Ishak memberitahukan kepadanya tentang sumur yang telah digali mereka, serta berkata kepadanya: "Kami telah mendapat air."
And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.
33 Lalu dinamainyalah sumur itu Syeba. Sebab itu nama kota itu adalah Bersyeba, sampai sekarang.
And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.
34 Ketika Esau telah berumur empat puluh tahun, ia mengambil Yudit, anak Beeri orang Het, dan Basmat, anak Elon orang Het, menjadi isterinya.
And Esau was forty years old; and he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.
35 Kedua perempuan itu menimbulkan kepedihan hati bagi Ishak dan bagi Ribka.
And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
