Genesis 26
1 Some time later there was a severe (famine/scarcity of food) there. That was different from the famine that occurred when Abraham was alive. So Isaac went [southeast] to Gerar [town, to talk] to Abimelech, the king of the Philistine people-group. [What happened was this: Isaac considered going to Egypt],
U zemlji zavlada glad, različita od prijašnje što je bila za vrijeme Abrahama, pa Izak ode Abimeleku, kralju Filistejaca, u Geraru.
2 but Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt! Live in the land where I will tell you to go!
Jahve mu se ukaza i reče: “Ne silazi u Egipat: boravi u zemlji koju ću ti označiti.
3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will help you and bless you, because it is to you and your descendants that I will give all these lands, and I will do what I solemnly promised to your father.
U ovoj se zemlji nastani, ja ću s tobom biti i blagoslivljati te; tebi i tvome potomstvu dat ću sve ove krajeve, da izvršim zakletvu kojom sam se zakleo tvome ocu Abrahamu.
4 I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as the stars in the sky. I will give to your descendants all these lands, and I will cause your descendants to be a blessing to the people of [MTY] all nations on the earth.
Tvoje ću potomstvo umnožiti kao zvijezde na nebesima i tvome ću potomstvu predati sve ove krajeve, tako da će se tvojim potomstvom blagoslivljati svi narodi zemlje;
5 I will do that because your father Abraham obeyed me. He obeyed everything that I told him to do, everything that I declared and all the laws that I gave him.” So Isaac [went and asked King Abimelech if he would permit him to live in the Gerar area. The king said, “Okay,”]
a to zato što je Abraham slušao moj glas i pokoravao se mojim zapovijedima, mojim zakonima i odredbama!”
6 [so Isaac] stayed there [along with his wife and sons].
Tako Izak ostane u Geraru.
7 When the men in Gerar [town] asked who Rebekah was, Isaac said, “She is my sister.” He said that because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “Rebekah is very beautiful, so they will want her. [If I say that she is my sister, they know they will have to negotiate about a bride price because I am her older brother; but if I say that she is my wife, no negotiation will be possible]. They will just kill me to get her.”
Kad su ga mještani pitali o njegovoj ženi, reče: “Ona mi je sestra.” Bojao se reći: “Ona mi je žena”, misleći: “Mještani bi me mogli ubiti zbog Rebeke jer je lijepa.”
8 When Isaac had been there a long time, one day Abimelech, the king of the Philistine people-group, looked down from a window [in his palace] and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
Kako su se ondje duže zadržali, kralj Filistejaca Abimelek jednom pogleda kroz prozor i opazi kako Izak miluje svoju ženu Rebeku.
9 So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said to him, “Now I realize that she is really your wife! So why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied to him, “I said that because I thought that someone here might kill me to get her.”
Nato Abimelek pozove Izaka te reče: “Tako, ona ti je žena! Kako si mogao reći da ti je sestra?” Izak mu odgovori: “Jer sam mislio da bih zbog nje mogao poginuti.”
10 Abimelech said, “(You should not have done this to us!/Why did you do this?) [RHQ] One of our people might have (had sex with/slept with) [EUP] your wife, and you would have caused us to be guilty of a great sin!”
Abimelek reče: “Zašto si nam to učinio? Umalo netko od ljudi nije legao s tvojom ženom. Tako bi na nas svalio krivnju.”
11 Then Abimelech commanded all his people, saying, “Do not harm/molest this man or his wife! Anyone who does that will surely be executed!”
Onda Abimelek izda naredbu svemu narodu: “Tko se god dotakne ovog čovjeka i njegove žene, glavu će izgubiti.”
12 Isaac planted grain in that land that year, and he harvested a very large crop, because Yahweh blessed him.
Izak je sijao u onom kraju i one godine urodilo mu stostruko. Jahve ga blagoslivljao
13 Isaac continued to acquire more and more possessions, until finally he became very wealthy.
te je čovjek bivao sve bogatiji, dok nije postao vrlo bogat.
14 He had large herds of sheep and goats and cattle, and many slaves. Because of that, the Philistine people envied him.
Stekao je stada ovaca i goveda i mnogu služinčad, tako da su mu Filistejci zavidjeli.
15 So all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug during the time when he was alive, the people filled up with dirt.
Zato Filistejci zasuše sve bunare što su ih sluge njegova oca bile iskopale - u vrijeme njegova oca Abrahama - i napuniše ih zemljom.
16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “You people have become more numerous than we are, so I want you to get out of our area.”
Onda Abimelek reče Izaku: “Idi od nas jer si postao mnogo moćniji od nas!”
17 So Isaac [and his family] moved from there. They set up their tents in Gerar Valley [and started to live there].
Tako Izak ode odande, postavi svoj šator u gerarskoj dolini i nastani se ondje.
18 There were several wells in that area that had been dug when Isaac’s father Abraham was living, but Philistine people had filled them up [with dirt] after Abraham died. Now Isaac and his servants removed the dirt, and Isaac gave the wells the same names that his father had given to them.
Izak opet iskopa bunare za vodu što su bili iskopani u vrijeme njegova oca Abrahama, a Filistejci ih bili zasuli poslije Abrahamove smrti. On ih je nazvao istim imenima kojima ih je zvao i njegov otac.
19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water.
Ali kad su Izakove sluge, dok su u dolini kopale, ondje našle bunar sa živom vodom,
20 But other men who lived in Gerar [Valley] who took care of their animals argued/quarreled with the men who took care of Isaac’s animals, and said, “The water in this well is ours!” So Isaac named the well Esek, which means ‘dispute’, because they disputed about who owned it.
pastiri iz Gerara posvade se s Izakovim pastirima govoreći: “Naša je voda!” Bunaru je dao ime Esek, jer su se oni s njim svadili.
21 Then Isaac’s servants dug another well, but they quarreled about who owned that one also. So Isaac named it Sitnah, [which means ‘opposition]’.
A kad su iskopali drugi bunar te se i zbog njega svađali, nazva ga imenom Sitna.
22 They moved on from there and dug another well, but this time no one quarreled about who owned it. So Isaac named it Rehoboth, [which means ‘uninhabited place’], saying, “Yahweh has given us an uninhabited place to live in, a place that is not wanted by other people, and we will become very prosperous here.”
Odatle se preseli pa iskopa drugi bunar. Zbog njega se nisu svađali, pa ga nazove imenom Rehobot i protumači: “Jer nam je Jahve dao prostor da se na zemlji umnožimo.”
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba.
Odande se popne u Beer Šebu.
24 The first night that he was there, Yahweh appeared to him and said, “I am God, whom your father Abraham worshiped. Do not be afraid of anything. I will help you and bless you, and because of what I promised my servant Abraham, I will greatly increase the number of your descendants.”
Iste mu se noći ukaže Jahve i reče: “Ja sam Bog oca tvoga Abrahama. Ne boj se, ja sam s tobom! Blagoslovit ću te, potomke ti umnožit, zbog Abrahama, sluge svojega.”
25 So Isaac built a stone altar there [and offered a sacrifice] to worship Yahweh. He [and his servants] set up their tents there, and his servants started to dig a well.
Izak tu podigne žrtvenik i zazove Jahvu po imenu; postavi ondje svoj šator, a njegove sluge počnu kopati bunar.
26 [While they were digging the well], King Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, along with Ahuzzath, his advisor, and Phicol, the commander of his army.
Uto mu dođe Abimelek iz Gerara sa svojim savjetnikom Ahuzatom i s Fikolom, zapovjednikom vojske.
27 Isaac asked them, “You (acted in a hostile way toward me/treated me like an enemy) before, and sent me away. So why have you come to me now?”
Izak ih upita: “Zašto ste došli k meni kad me mrzite i kad ste me otjerali od sebe?”
28 One of them answered, “We have seen that Yahweh helps you. So we said to each other, ‘We should have an agreement between us and you. We should make a peace treaty with you,
Oni odgovore: “Jasno vidimo da je Jahve s tobom. Stoga pomislismo: neka zakletva bude veza između nas i tebe. Daj da s tobom sklopimo savez:
29 stating that you will not harm us, in the same way that we did not molest [EUP] you.’ We always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now Yahweh is blessing you.”
ti nama nećeš zla nanositi, kao što mi tebe nismo zlostavljali, nego uvijek prema tebi lijepo postupali i s mirom te otpustili. A blagoslov Jahvin bio nad tobom.”
30 So Isaac made a feast for them, and they all ate and drank.
On im priredi gozbu te su jeli i pili.
31 Early the next morning they all (swore/solemnly promised) each other that they would do what they had promised. Then Isaac sent them home peacefully.
Rano ujutro jedni se drugima zakunu. Potom ih Izak otpusti i oni od njega odu u miru.
32 That day Isaac’s servants came to him and told him about the well that they had finished digging. They said, “We found water in the well!”
Toga istog dana dođu Izakove sluge i obavijeste ga o bunaru što su ga iskopali te mu reknu: “Našli smo vodu.”
33 Isaac named the well Shibah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘oath’]. To the present time the town there has the name Beersheba [which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’].
On ga prozva Šiba. Zato je ime onom gradu do danas - Beer Šeba.
34 When Esau was 40 years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon. Both of those women were descendants of Heth, [not from Isaac’s clan].
Kad je Ezavu bilo četrdeset godina, uzme za ženu Juditu, kćer Hetita Beerija, i Basematu, kćer Hetita Elona.
35 Esau’s two wives made life miserable for Isaac and Rebekah.
One postadoše izvor ogorčenja Izaku i Rebeki.
