Бытие 26

1 Бысть же глад на земли, кроме глада бывшаго прежде во время Авраамле. Отиде же Исаак ко Авимелеху царю Филистимску в Герар:

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 явися же ему Господь и рече: не ходи во Египет, вселися же в земли, в нейже ти реку,

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 и обитай в земли той, и буду с тобою, и благословлю тя: тебе бо и семени твоему дам всю землю сию и поставлю клятву Мою, еюже кляхся Аврааму отцу твоему:

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 и умножу семя твое, яко звезды небесныя, и дам семени твоему всю землю сию: и благословятся о семени твоем вси языцы земнии:

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 понеже послуша отец твой Авраам Моего гласа и соблюде заповеди Моя и повеления Моя, и оправдания Моя и законы Моя.

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

6 Вселися же Исаак в Герарех.

So Isaac went on living in Gerar;

7 Вопросиша же мужие места того о Ревекце жене его, и рече: сестра ми есть. Убояся бо рещи, яко жена ми есть, да не когда убиют его мужие места того Ревекки ради, понеже бе доброзрачна.

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 Бысть же много время тамо: и приникнув Авимелех царь Герарский окном, виде Исаака играюща с Ревеккою женою своею.

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 Призва же Авимелех Исаака и рече ему: убо жена твоя есть? Почто рекл еси, яко сестра ми есть? Рече же ему Исаак: рех бо, да не умру ея ради.

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 Рече же ему Авимелех: что сие сотворил еси нам? Вмале не бысть некто от рода моего с женою твоею, и навел бы еси на ны неведение.

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 Заповеда же Авимелех всем людем своим, глаголя: всяк, иже прикоснется мужу сему, или жене его, смерти повинен будет.

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

12 Сея же Исаак в земли той, и приобрете в то лето стократный плод ячменя: благослови же его Господь.

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 И возвысися человек, и преуспевая болший бываше, дондеже велик бысть зело.

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

14 Быша же ему скоти овец и скоти волов и земледелия многа. Позавидеша же ему Филистимляне:

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

15 и вся кладязи, яже ископаша раби отца его, во время отца его, заградиша я Филистимляне и наполниша тыя землею.

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 Рече же Авимелех ко Исааку: отиди от нас, яко силнейший сотворился еси от нас зело.

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

17 И отиде оттуду Исаак и обита в дебри Герарстей, и вселися тамо.

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

18 И паки Исаак ископа кладязи водныя, яже ископаша раби Авраама отца его, и заградиша тыя Филистимляне, по умертвии Авраама отца его: и прозва им имена, по именам, имиже прозва Авраам отец его.

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 И ископаша раби Исааковы в дебри Герарстей, и обретоша тамо кладязь воды живы.

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

20 И пряхуся пастырие Герарстии с пастырми Исааковыми, глаголюще: наша есть вода. И прозва имя кладязю тому Обида: обидяху бо его.

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 Отшед же оттуду Исаак, ископа кладязь другий. Пряхуся же и о том: и прозва имя ему Вражда.

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

22 Отшед же оттуду, ископа кладязь другий. И не пряхуся о том, и прозва имя ему Пространство, глаголя: яко ныне распространи Господь нам и возрасти нас на земли.

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 Взыде же оттуду ко кладязю Клятвенному:

And from there he went on to Beer-sheba.

24 и явися ему Господь в ту нощь и рече: Аз есмь Бог Авраама отца твоего, не бойся, с тобою бо есмь: и благословлю тя, и умножу семя твое Авраама ради отца твоего.

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 И созда тамо жертвенник, и призва имя Господне: и постави тамо скинию свою: ископаша же тамо раби Исааковы кладязь в дебри Герарстей.

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 И Авимелех прииде к нему от Герар, и Охозаф невестоводитель его, и Фихол воевода сил его.

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

27 И рече им Исаак: вскую приидосте ко мне? Вы же возненавидесте мене и отсласте мя от себе.

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 Они же реша: видевше узрехом, яко бе Господь с тобою, и рехом: буди клятва между нами и между тобою, и завещаим с тобою завет,

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 да не сотвориши с нами зла, якоже не возгнушахомся тобою мы, и якоже сотворихом тебе добро, и отпустихом тя с миром: и ныне благословен ты от Господа.

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 И сотвори им пир, и ядоша и пиша.

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

31 И воставше заутра, клятся кийждо ближнему: и отпусти я Исаак, и отидоша от него здравы.

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 Бысть же в той день, и пришедше раби Исааковы поведаша ему о кладязе, егоже ископаша, и рекоша: не обретохом воды.

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 И прозва его Клятва. Сего ради прозва имя граду оному кладязь Клятвенный, даже до днешняго дне.

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

34 Бяше же Исав лет четыредесяти: и поя жену Иудифу, дщерь Веоха Хеттеина, и Васемафу, дщерь Елона Хеттеина.

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 И быша противящеся Исаакови и Ревекце.

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