1 Mojzes 26

1 Bila je lakota v deželi, poleg prve lakote, ki je bila v Abrahamovih dneh. In Izak je odšel k filistejskemu kralju Abimélehu v Gerár.

And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham; and Isaac went unto Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.

2 Prikazal se mu je Gospod ter rekel: »Ne hodi dol v Egipt; prebivaj v deželi, ki ti bom o njej povedal.

And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of.

3 Začasno bivaj v tej deželi in jaz bom s teboj in te bom blagoslavljal, kajti tebi in tvojemu potomcu bom dal vse te dežele in jaz bom izpolnil prisego, ki sem jo prisegel tvojemu očetu Abrahamu;

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, will I give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father;

4 in tvojemu semenu bom storil, da se pomnoži kakor zvezde neba in tvojemu semenu bom dal vse te dežele in v tvojem semenu bodo blagoslovljeni narodi zemlje,

And I will cause thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and I will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves.

5 zato ker je Abraham ubogal moj glas in ohranil moj ukaz, moje zapovedi, moje zakone in moje postave.«

Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

6 In Izak je prebival v Gerárju.

And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

7 Možje [tega] kraja so ga vprašali o njegovi ženi in rekel je: »Ona je moja sestra, « kajti bal se je reči: » Ona je moja žena.« Rekel je, »da me ne bi možje [tega] kraja ubili zaradi Rebeke, « kajti bila je zelo lepa na pogled.

And the men of the place asked [him] concerning his wife; and he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, [said he, ] the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she is of a handsome appearance.

8 Pripetilo se je, ko je bil tam dolgo časa, da je Abiméleh, kralj Filistejcev, pogledal skozi okno in zagledal in glej, Izak se je ljubimkal s svojo ženo Rebeko.

And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, looked out at a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.

9 Abiméleh je poklical Izaka ter rekel: »Glej, ona je zagotovo tvoja žena. Kako si rekel: ›Ona je moja sestra?‹« Izak mu je odgovoril: »Ker sem rekel: ›Da zaradi nje ne bi umrl.‹«

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I thought, Perhaps I may die for her.

10 Abiméleh je rekel: »Kaj je to, kar si nam storil? Nekdo izmed ljudstva bi lahko mirno ležal s tvojo ženo in ti bi nad nas privedel krivdo.«

And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? How easily might one of the people have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldst have brought guiltiness upon us.

11 Abiméleh je vsem svojim ljudem naročil, rekoč: »Kdor se dotakne tega moža ali njegove žene, bo zagotovo usmrčen.«

And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

12 Potem je Izak sejal v tej deželi in v istem letu prejel stokratno in Gospod ga je blagoslovil.

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundred-fold: so the Lord blessed him.

13 Mož je postal velik in šel naprej in rasel, dokler ni postal zelo velik,

And the man became great, and went forward and grew, until he became very great;

14 kajti imel je posest tropov in posest čred in veliko število služabnikov, in Filistejci so mu zavidali.

And he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants; and the Philistines envied him.

15 Kajti vse vodnjake, ki so jih služabniki njegovega očeta izkopali v dneh njegovega očeta Abrahama, so Filistejci zamašili in jih napolnili s prstjo.

And all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, these the Philistines stopped, and filled them with earth.

16 Abiméleh je rekel Izaku: »Pojdi od nas, kajti mnogo mogočnejši si kakor mi.«

And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go away from us; for thou hast become much mightier than we.

17 Izak se je odpravil od tam in svoj šotor postavil v dolini Gerár ter tam prebival.

And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

18 Izak je ponovno izkopal vodnjake, ki so jih izkopali v dneh njegovega očeta Abrahama, kajti Filistejci so jih po Abrahamovi smrti zamašili. Njihova imena je poimenoval po imenih, po katerih jih je imenoval njegov oče.

And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

19 Izakovi služabniki so kopáli v dolini in tam našli vodnjak izvirne vode.

And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

20 Čredniki iz Gerárja pa so se prepirali z Izakovimi čredniki, rekoč: »Voda je naša.« In ime vodnjaka je poimenoval Esek, ker so se z njim prepirali.

And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Essek; because they strove with him.

21 In izkopali so še en vodnjak in tudi za tega so se prepirali. Njegovo ime je poimenoval Sitna.

And they dug another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.

22 Odstranil se je od tam ter izkopal nov vodnjak. Zanj pa se niso prepirali in njegovo ime je imenoval Rehobót in rekel je: »Kajti sedaj je Gospod za nas pripravil prostor in bomo rodovitni v deželi.«

And he removed from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rechoboth, and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall increase in the land.

23 In od tam se je dvignil v Beeršébo.

And he went up from there to Beer-sheba.

24 Isto noč se mu je prikazal Gospod ter rekel: »Jaz sem Bog Abrahama, tvojega očeta. Ne boj se, kajti jaz sem s teboj in zaradi svojega služabnika Abrahama te bom blagoslovil in pomnožil tvoje seme.«

And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraham my servant.

25 Tam je zgradil oltar in klical h Gospodovemu imenu ter tam postavil svoj šotor in tam so Izakovi služabniki izkopali vodnjak.

And he built there an altar, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched there his tent: and the servants of Isaac dug there a well.

26 Potem so iz Gerárja odšli k njemu Abiméleh in Ahuzát, eden izmed njegovih prijateljev ter Pihól, vrhovni poveljnik njegove vojske.

Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.

27 Izak pa jim je rekel: »Zakaj ste prišli k meni, glede na to, da me sovražite in ste me odposlali od sebe?«

And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing that ye do hate me, and have sent me away from you?

28 Rekli so: »Zagotovo smo videli, da je bil s teboj Gospod in smo rekli: ›Naj bo torej prisega med nami, torej med nami in teboj in naj sklenemo zavezo s teboj,

And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with thee; and we said, Let there be now an oath between us and thee; and we will make a covenant with thee;

29 da nam ne boš storil nobene škode, kakor se mi nismo dotaknili tebe in kakor ti nismo storili nič drugega, temveč dobro in smo te odposlali v miru.‹ Ti si torej blagoslovljen od Gospoda.«

That thou shalt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now one blessed of the Lord.

30 In pripravil jim je gostijo in jedli so ter pili.

And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

31 Zjutraj pa so zgodaj vstali in drug drugemu prisegli in Izak jih je odposlal proč in od njega so odšli v miru.

And they rose up betimes in the morning, and they swore one to the other; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

32 Istega dne se je pripetilo, da so prišli Izakovi služabniki in mu povedali glede vodnjaka, ki so ga izkopali ter mu rekel: »Našli smo vodo.«

And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and they said unto him, We have found water.

33 In imenoval ga je Šiba; zato je ime mesta Beeršéba do današnjega dne.

And he called it Shibah: therefore is the name of the city Beer-sheba unto this day.

34 Ezav je bil star štirideset let, ko je vzel Judito, hčer Hetejca Beeríja in Basemáto, hči Hetejca Elóna,

And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Bahsemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35 ki sta bili Izaku in Rebeki v žalostno mišljenje.

And they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
