Genesis 26
1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.
orta autem fame super terram post eam sterilitatem quae acciderat in diebus Abraham abiit Isaac ad Abimelech regem Palestinorum in Gerara
2 And Jehovah appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
apparuitque ei Dominus et ait ne descendas in Aegyptum sed quiesce in terra quam dixero tibi
3 sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
et peregrinare in ea eroque tecum et benedicam tibi tibi enim et semini tuo dabo universas regiones has conplens iuramentum quod spopondi Abraham patri tuo
4 and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas caeli daboque posteris tuis universas regiones has et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae
5 because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
eo quod oboedierit Abraham voci meae et custodierit praecepta et mandata mea et caerimonias legesque servaverit
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
mansit itaque Isaac in Geraris
7 and the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, My wife; lest, [said he], the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
qui cum interrogaretur a viris loci illius super uxore sua respondit soror mea est timuerat enim confiteri quod sibi esset sociata coniugio reputans ne forte interficerent eum propter illius pulchritudinem
8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
cumque pertransissent dies plurimi et ibi demoraretur prospiciens Abimelech Palestinorum rex per fenestram vidit eum iocantem cum Rebecca uxore sua
9 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 said, Lest I die because of her.
et accersito ait perspicuum est quod uxor tua sit cur mentitus es sororem tuam esse respondit timui ne morerer propter eam
10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might easily have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
dixitque Abimelech quare inposuisti nobis potuit coire quispiam de populo cum uxore tua et induxeras super nos grande peccatum praecepitque omni populo dicens
11 And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
qui tetigerit hominis huius uxorem morte morietur
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold: and Jehovah blessed him.
seruit autem Isaac in terra illa et invenit in ipso anno centuplum benedixitque ei Dominus
13 And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great:
et locupletatus est homo et ibat proficiens atque succrescens donec magnus vehementer effectus est
14 and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him.
habuit quoque possessionem ovium et armentorum et familiae plurimum ob haec invidentes ei Palestini
15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
omnes puteos quos foderant servi patris illius Abraham illo tempore obstruxerunt implentes humo
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
in tantum ut ipse Abimelech diceret ad Isaac recede a nobis quoniam potentior nostri factus es valde
17 And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
et ille discedens veniret ad torrentem Gerarae habitaretque ibi
18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
rursum fodit alios puteos quos foderant servi patris sui Abraham et quos illo mortuo olim obstruxerant Philisthim appellavitque eos hisdem nominibus quibus ante pater vocaverat
19 And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
foderunt in torrente et reppererunt aquam vivam
20 And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
sed et ibi iurgium fuit pastorum Gerarae adversum pastores Isaac dicentium nostra est aqua quam ob rem nomen putei ex eo quod acciderat vocavit Calumniam
21 And they digged another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
foderunt et alium et pro illo quoque rixati sunt appellavitque eum Inimicitias
22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now Jehovah hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
profectus inde fodit alium puteum pro quo non contenderunt itaque vocavit nomen illius Latitudo dicens nunc dilatavit nos Dominus et fecit crescere super terram
23 And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
ascendit autem ex illo loco in Bersabee
24 And Jehovah appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
ubi apparuit ei Dominus in ipsa nocte dicens ego sum Deus Abraham patris tui noli metuere quia tecum sum benedicam tibi et multiplicabo semen tuum propter servum meum Abraham
25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
itaque aedificavit ibi altare et invocato nomine Domini extendit tabernaculum praecepitque servis suis ut foderent puteum
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host.
ad quem locum cum venissent de Geraris Abimelech et Ochozath amicus illius et Fichol dux militum
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
locutus est eis Isaac quid venistis ad me hominem quem odistis et expulistis a vobis
28 And they said, We saw plainly that Jehovah was with thee: and we said, Let there now be an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,
qui responderunt vidimus tecum esse Dominum et idcirco nunc diximus sit iuramentum inter nos et ineamus foedus
29 that thou wilt 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 the blessed of Jehovah.
ut non facias nobis quicquam mali sicut et nos nihil tuorum adtigimus nec fecimus quod te laederet sed cum pace dimisimus auctum benedictione Domini
30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
fecit ergo eis convivium et post cibum et potum
31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
surgentes mane iuraverunt sibi mutuo dimisitque eos Isaac pacifice in locum suum
32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
ecce autem venerunt in ipso die servi Isaac adnuntiantes ei de puteo quem foderant atque dicentes invenimus aquam
33 And he called it Shibah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.
unde appellavit eum Abundantiam et nomen urbi inpositum est Bersabee usque in praesentem diem
34 And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Esau vero quadragenarius duxit uxores Iudith filiam Beeri Hetthei et Basemath filiam Helon eiusdem loci
35 and they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
quae ambae offenderant animum Isaac et Rebeccae
