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],
| و قحطی در آن زمین حادث شد، غیرآن قحط اول، که در ایام ابراهیم بود. واسحاق نزد ابی ملک، پادشاه فلسطینیان به جراررفت. | ۱ |
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!
| و خداوند بر وی ظاهر شده، گفت: «به مصر فرود میا، بلکه به زمینی که به تو بگویم ساکن شو. | ۲ |
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.
| در این زمین توقف نما، و با تو خواهم بود، وتو را برکت خواهم داد، زیرا که به تو و ذریت تو، تمام این زمین را می‌دهم، و سوگندی را که باپدرت ابراهیم خوردم، استوار خواهم داشت. | ۳ |
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.
| وذریتت را مانند ستارگان آسمان کثیر گردانم، وتمام این زمینها را به ذریت تو بخشم، و از ذریت تو جمیع امتهای جهان برکت خواهند یافت. | ۴ |
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,”]
| زیرا که ابراهیم قول مرا شنید، و وصایا و اوامر وفرایض و احکام مرا نگاه داشت.» | ۵ |
6 [so Isaac] stayed there [along with his wife and sons].
| پس اسحاق در جرار اقامت نمود. | ۶ |
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.”
| و مردمان آن مکان درباره زنش از او جویا شدند. گفت: «او خواهر من است، » زیرا ترسید که بگوید: «زوجه من است، » مبادا اهل آنجا، او را به‌خاطررفقه که نیکومنظر بود، بکشند. | ۷ |
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.
| و چون در آنجامدتی توقف نمود، چنان افتاد که ابی ملک، پادشاه فلسطینیان، از دریچه نظاره کرد، و دید که اینک اسحاق با زوجه خود رفقه، مزاح می‌کند. | ۸ |
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.”
| پس ابی ملک، اسحاق را خوانده، گفت: «همانا این زوجه توست! پس چرا گفتی که خواهر من است؟» اسحاق بدو گفت: «زیرا گفتم که مبادابرای وی بمیرم.» | ۹ |
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!”
| ابی ملک گفت: «این چه‌کاراست که با ما کردی؟ نزدیک بود که یکی از قوم، بازوجه ات همخواب شود، و بر ما جرمی آورده باشی.» | ۱۰ |
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!”
| و ابی ملک تمامی قوم را قدغن فرموده، گفت: «کسی‌که متعرض این مرد و زوجه‌اش بشود، هر آینه خواهد مرد.» | ۱۱ |
12 Isaac planted grain in that land that year, and he harvested a very large crop, because Yahweh blessed him.
| و اسحاق در آن زمین زراعت کرد، و در آن سال صد چندان پیدا نمود؛ و خداوند او را برکت داد. | ۱۲ |
13 Isaac continued to acquire more and more possessions, until finally he became very wealthy.
| و آن مرد بزرگ شده، آن فان ترقی می‌نمود، تا بسیار بزرگ گردید. | ۱۳ |
14 He had large herds of sheep and goats and cattle, and many slaves. Because of that, the Philistine people envied him.
| و او را گله گوسفندان و مواشی گاوان و غلامان کثیر بود، وفلسطینیان بر او حسد بردند. | ۱۴ |
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.
| و همه چاههایی که نوکران پدرش در ایام پدرش ابراهیم، کنده بودند، فلسطینیان آنها را بستند، و از خاک پرکردند. | ۱۵ |
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.”
| و ابی ملک به اسحاق گفت: «از نزد مابرو، زیرا که از ما بسیار بزرگتر شده‌ای.» | ۱۶ |
17 So Isaac [and his family] moved from there. They set up their tents in Gerar Valley [and started to live there].
| پس اسحاق از آنجا برفت، و در وادی جرارفرود آمده، در آنجا ساکن شد. | ۱۷ |
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.
| و چاههای آب را، که در ایام پدرش ابراهیم کنده بودند، وفلسطینیان آنها را بعد از وفات ابراهیم بسته بودند، اسحاق از سر نو کند، و آنها را مسمی نمودبه نامهایی که پدرش آنها را نامیده بود. | ۱۸ |
19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water.
| ونوکران اسحاق در آن وادی حفره زدند، و چاه آب زنده‌ای در آنجا یافتند. | ۱۹ |
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.
| و شبانان جرار، باشبانان اسحاق، منازعه کرده، گفتند: «این آب ازآن ماست!» پس آن چاه را عسق نامید، زیرا که باوی منازعه کردند. | ۲۰ |
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]’.
| و چاهی دیگر کندند، همچنان برای آن نیز جنگ کردند، و آن را سطنه نامید. | ۲۱ |
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.”
| و از آنجا کوچ کرده، چاهی دیگر کند، وبرای آن جنگ نکردند، پس آن را رحوبوت نامیده، گفت: «که اکنون خداوند ما را وسعت داده است، و در زمین، بارور خواهیم شد.» | ۲۲ |
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba.
| پس از آنجا به بئرشبع آمد. | ۲۳ |
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.”
| در همان شب، خداوند بر وی ظاهر شده، گفت: «من خدای پدرت، ابراهیم، هستم. ترسان مباش زیراکه من با تو هستم، و تو را برکت می‌دهم، و ذریت تو را بخاطر بنده خود، ابراهیم، فراوان خواهم ساخت.» | ۲۴ |
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.
| و مذبحی در آنجا بنا نهاد و نام یهوه را خواند، و خیمه خود را برپا نمود، و نوکران اسحاق، چاهی در آنجا کندند. | ۲۵ |
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.
| و ابی ملک، به اتفاق یکی از اصحاب خود، احزات نام، وفیکول، که سپهسالار او بود، از جرار به نزد اوآمدند. | ۲۶ |
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?”
| و اسحاق بدیشان گفت: «چرا نزد من آمدید، با آنکه با من عداوت نمودید، و مرا از نزدخود راندید؟» | ۲۷ |
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,
| گفتند: «به تحقیق فهمیده‌ایم که خداوند با توست. پس گفتیم سوگندی در میان ماو تو باشد، و عهدی با تو ببندیم. | ۲۸ |
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.”
| تا با ما بدی نکنی چنانکه به تو ضرری نرساندیم، بلکه غیر ازنیکی به تو نکردیم، و تو را به سلامتی روانه نمودیم، و اکنون مبارک خداوند هستی.» | ۲۹ |
30 So Isaac made a feast for them, and they all ate and drank.
| آنگاه برای ایشان ضیافتی برپا نمود، وخوردند و آشامیدند. | ۳۰ |
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.
| بامدادان برخاسته، بایکدیگر قسم خوردند، و اسحاق ایشان را وداع نمود. پس، از نزد وی به سلامتی رفتند. | ۳۱ |
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!”
| و درآن روز چنان افتاد که نوکران اسحاق آمده، او را ازآن چاهی که می‌کندند خبر داده، گفتند: «آب یافتیم!» | ۳۲ |
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’].
| پس آن را شبعه نامید. از این سبب آن شهر، تا امروز بئرشبع نام دارد. | ۳۳ |
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].
| و چون عیسوچهل ساله بود، یهودیه، دختر بیری حتی، وبسمه، دختر ایلون حتی را به زنی گرفت. | ۳۴ |
35 Esau’s two wives made life miserable for Isaac and Rebekah.
| وایشان باعث تلخی جان اسحاق و رفقه شدند. | ۳۵ |
