Gênesis 26

1 E havia fome na terra, além da primeira fome, que foi nos dias de Abrahão: por isso foi-se Isaac a Abimelech, rei dos philisteus, em Gerar.

Then came a time of great need in the land, like that which had been before in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.

2 E appareceu-lhe o Senhor, e disse: Não desças ao Egypto; habita na terra que eu te disser:

And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge:

3 Peregrina n'esta terra, e serei comtigo, e te abençoarei; porque a ti e á tua semente darei todas estas terras, e confirmarei o juramento que tenho jurado a Abrahão teu pae;

Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham;

4 E multiplicarei a tua semente como as estrellas dos céus, e darei á tua semente todas estas terras; e em tua semente serão bemditas todas as nações da terra;

I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth;

5 Porquanto Abrahão obedeceu á minha voz, e guardou o meu mandado, os meus preceitos, os meus estatutos, e as minhas leis.

Because Abraham gave ear to my voice and kept my words, my rules, my orders, and my laws.

6 Assim habitou Isaac em Gerar.

So Isaac went on living in Gerar;

7 E perguntando-lhe os varões d'aquelle logar ácerca de sua mulher, disse: É minha irmã; porque temia de dizer: É minha mulher; para que porventura (dizia elle) me não matem os varões d'aquelle logar por amor de Rebecca; porque era formosa á vista.

And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful.

8 E aconteceu que, como elle esteve ali muito tempo, Abimelech rei dos philisteus olhou por uma janella, e viu, e eis que Isaac estava brincando com Rebecca sua mulher.

And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife.

9 Então chamou Abimelech a Isaac, e disse: Eis que na verdade é tua mulher; como pois disseste: É minha irmã? E disse-lhe Isaac: Porque eu dizia: Para que eu porventura não morra por causa d'ella.

And he said to Isaac, It is clear that she is your wife: why then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said, For fear that I might be put to death because of her.

10 E disse Abimelech: Que é isto que nos fizeste? Facilmente se teria deitado alguem d'este povo com a tua mulher, e tu terias trazido sobre nós um delicto.

Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours.

11 E mandou Abimelech a todo o povo, dizendo: Qualquer que tocar a este varão ou a sua mulher, certamente morrerá.

And Abimelech gave orders to his people that anyone touching Isaac or his wife was to be put to death.

12 E semeou Isaac n'aquella mesma terra, e achou n'aquelle mesmo anno cem medidas, porque o Senhor o abençoava.

Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.

13 E engrandeceu-se o varão, e ia-se engrandecendo, até que se tornou mui grande;

And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more;

14 E tinha possessão d'ovelhas, e possessão de vaccas, e muita gente de serviço, de maneira que os philisteus o invejavam.

For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.

15 E todos os poços, que os servos de seu pae tinham cavado nos dias de seu pae Abrahão, os philisteus entulharam e encheram de terra.

Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.

16 Disse tambem Abimelech a Isaac: Aparta-te de nós; porque muito mais poderoso te tens feito do que nós.

And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.

17 Então Isaac foi-se d'ali e fez o seu assento no valle de Gerar, e habitou lá.

So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there.

18 E tornou Isaac, e cavou os poços d'agua que cavaram nos dias de Abrahão seu pae, e que os philisteus taparam depois da morte de Abrahão, e chamou-os pelos nomes que os chamara seu pae.

And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.

19 Cavaram pois os servos de Isaac n'aquelle valle, e acharam ali um poço d'aguas vivas.

Now Isaac's servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water.

20 E os pastores de Gerar porfiaram com os pastores de Isaac, dizendo. Esta agua é nossa. Por isso chamou o nome d'aquelle poço Esek, porque contenderam com elle.

But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it.

21 Então cavaram outro poço, e tambem porfiaram sobre elle: por isso chamou o seu nome Sitnah.

Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.

22 E partiu d'ali, e cavou outro poço, e não porfiaram sobre elle: por isso chamou o seu nome Rehoboth, e disse: Porque agora nos alargou o Senhor, e crescemos n'esta terra.

Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.

23 Depois subiu d'ali a Berseba,

And from there he went on to Beer-sheba.

24 E appareceu-lhe o Senhor n'aquella mesma noite, e disse: Eu sou o Deus de Abrahão teu pae: não temas, porque eu sou comtigo, e abençoar-te-hei, e multiplicarei a tua semente por amor de Abrahão meu servo.

That night the Lord came to him in a vision, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham: have no fear for I am with you, blessing you, and your seed will be increased because of my servant Abraham.

25 Então edificou ali um altar, e invocou o nome do Senhor, e armou ali a sua tenda; e os servos de Isaac cavaram ali um poço.

Then he made an altar there, and gave worship to the name of the Lord, and he put up his tents there, and there his servants made a water-hole.

26 E Abimelech veiu a elle de Gerar, com Ahuzzath seu amigo, e Phichol, principe do seu exercito.

And Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol, the captain of his army.

27 E disse-lhes Isaac: Porque viestes a mim, pois que vós me aborreceis, e me enviastes de vós?

And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing that in your hate for me you sent me away from you?

28 E elles disseram: Havemos visto, na verdade, que o Senhor é comtigo, pelo que dissemos: Haja agora juramento entre nós, entre nós e ti; e façamos concerto comtigo,

And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you;

29 Que nos não faças mal, como nós te não temos tocado, e como te fizemos sómente bem, e te deixámos ir em paz. Agora tu és o bemdito do Senhor

That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you.

30 Então lhes fez um banquete, e comeram e beberam;

Then he made a feast for them, and they all had food and drink.

31 E levantaram-se de madrugada, e juraram um ao outro; depois os despediu Isaac, e despediram-se d'elle em paz.

And early in the morning they took an oath one to the other: then Isaac sent them away and they went on their way in peace.

32 E aconteceu n'aquelle mesmo dia que vieram os servos de Isaac, e annunciaram-lhe ácerca do negocio do peço, que tinham cavado; e disseram-lhe: Temos achado agua.

And that day Isaac's servants came to him and gave him word of the water-hole which they had made, and said to him, We have come to water.

33 E chamou-o Seba: por isso é o nome d'aquella cidade Berseba até o dia de hoje.

And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.

34 Ora sendo Esaú da edade de quarenta annos, tomou por mulher a Judith, filha de Beeri, hetheo, e a Basmath filha de Elon, hetheo.

And when Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite:

35 E estas foram a Isaac e a Rebecca uma amargura de espirito.

And Isaac and Rebekah had grief of mind because of them.
