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, when a famine arose over the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, in Gerar.
2 E appareceu-lhe o Senhor, e disse: Não desças ao Egypto; habita na terra que eu te disser:
And the Lord appeared to him, and he said: “Do not descend into Egypt, but rest in the land that I will tell you,
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;
and sojourn in it, and I will be with you, and I will bless you. For to you and to your offspring I will give all these regions, completing the oath that I promised to Abraham your father.
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;
And I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And I will give to your posterity all these regions. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
5 Porquanto Abrahão obedeceu á minha voz, e guardou o meu mandado, os meus preceitos, os meus estatutos, e as minhas leis.
because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”
6 Assim habitou Isaac em Gerar.
And so Isaac remained 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 that place about his wife, he answered, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to confess her to be his mate, thinking that perhaps they would put him to death because of her beauty.
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 very many days had passed, and he had remained in the same place, Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, gazing through a window, saw him being playful 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 summoning him, he said: “It is clear that she is your wife. Why did you falsely claim her to be your sister?” He answered, “I was afraid, lest I might die 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.
And Abimelech said: “Why have you burdened us? Someone from the people could have lain with your wife, and you would have brought a great sin upon us.” And he instructed all the people, saying,
11 E mandou Abimelech a todo o povo, dizendo: Qualquer que tocar a este varão ou a sua mulher, certamente morrerá.
“Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”
12 E semeou Isaac n'aquella mesma terra, e achou n'aquelle mesmo anno cem medidas, porque o Senhor o abençoava.
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
13 E engrandeceu-se o varão, e ia-se engrandecendo, até que se tornou mui grande;
And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
14 E tinha possessão d'ovelhas, e possessão de vaccas, e muita gente de serviço, de maneira que os philisteus o invejavam.
Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
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.
so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
16 Disse tambem Abimelech a Isaac: Aparta-te de nós; porque muito mais poderoso te tens feito do que nós.
It reached a point where Abimelech himself said to Isaac, “Move away from us, for you have become very much more powerful than we.”
17 Então Isaac foi-se d'ali e fez o seu assento no valle de Gerar, e habitou lá.
And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt 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.
Again, he dug up other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had dug, and which, after his death, the Philistines had formerly obstructed. And he called them by the same names that his father had called them before.
19 Cavaram pois os servos de Isaac n'aquelle valle, e acharam ali um poço d'aguas vivas.
And they dug in the torrent, and they found living 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 in that place also the shepherds of Gerar argued against the shepherds of Isaac, by saying, “It is our water.” For this reason, he called the name of the well, because of what had happened, ‘Calumny.’
21 Então cavaram outro poço, e tambem porfiaram sobre elle: por isso chamou o seu nome Sitnah.
Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’
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.
Advancing from there, he dug another well, over which they did not contend. And so he called its name, ‘Latitude,’ saying, “Now the Lord has expanded us and caused us to increase across the land.”
23 Depois subiu d'ali a Berseba,
Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
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.
where the Lord appeared to him on the same night, saying: “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring 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.
And so he built an altar there. And he invoked the name of the Lord, and he stretched out his tent. And he instructed his servants to dig a well.
26 E Abimelech veiu a elle de Gerar, com Ahuzzath seu amigo, e Phichol, principe do seu exercito.
When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,
27 E disse-lhes Isaac: Porque viestes a mim, pois que vós me aborreceis, e me enviastes de vós?
Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among 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 responded: “We saw that the Lord is with you, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us initiate a pact,
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
so that you may not do us any kind of harm, just as we have touched nothing of yours, and have not caused any injury to you, but with peace we released you, augmented by the blessing of the Lord.”
30 Então lhes fez um banquete, e comeram e beberam;
Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the 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.
arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.
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.
Then, behold, on the same day the servants of Isaac came, reporting to him about a well which they had dug, and saying: “We have found water.”
33 E chamou-o Seba: por isso é o nome d'aquella cidade Berseba até o dia de hoje.
Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present 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.
In truth, at forty years of age, Esau took wives: Judith, the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon, of the same place.
35 E estas foram a Isaac e a Rebecca uma amargura de espirito.
And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.
