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.

There was a famine in the country—not the one that happened before in Abraham's time, but a later one. So Isaac moved to Gerar in the territory of Abimelech, king of the Philistines.

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

The Lord appeared to Isaac and told him, “Don't go to Egypt—live in the country that I tell you to.

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;

Stay here in this country. I will be with you and I will bless you, because I'm going to give you and your descendants all these lands. I will keep the solemn promise that I swore to Abraham your 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,

I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and I will give them all these lands. All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your descendants,

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

because Abraham did what I told him, and kept my requirements, my commands, my regulations, and my laws.”

6 In Izak je prebival v Gerárju.

So Isaac stayed 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.

When the men there asked him about his wife, he told them, “She's my sister,” because he was afraid. He said to himself, “If I say she's my wife, the men here will kill me to get Rebekah, because she's so beautiful.”

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.

But later on, after he'd been there a while, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, happened to look out the window and saw Isaac lovingly fondling his wife Rebekah.

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.‹«

Abimelech sent for Isaac and complained. “From what I saw she's clearly your wife!” he said. “Why on earth did you say, ‘She's my sister’?” “Because I thought I'd be killed because of her,” Isaac replied.

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.«

“Why would you do this to us?” Abimelech asked. “One of the men here might have slept with your wife, and you would have made us all guilty!”

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

Abimelech issued orders to all the people, warning them, “Anyone who touches this man or his wife will be executed.”

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

Isaac sowed grain that year, and the Lord blessed him with a harvest that was a hundred times what he planted.

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

He became a rich man, and his wealth steadily increased until he was very rich.

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

He owned many flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, as well as many slaves. He had so much that the Philistines became jealous of 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.

So the Philistines used dirt to block up all the wells his father Abraham's servants had dug.

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

Then Abimelech told Isaac, “You have to leave our country, because you've become much too powerful for us.”

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

So Isaac moved away and set up his tents in the Gerar Valley where he settled down.

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.

He unblocked the wells that had been dug in his father Abraham's time—the ones the Philistines had blocked after the death of Abraham. He gave them the same names his father had.

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

Isaac's servants also dug a new well in the valley and found spring 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.

But the herdsmen from Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, claiming, “That's our water!” So Isaac named the well, “Argument,” because they argued with him.

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

He had another well dug, and they argued over that one too. He named the well, “Opposition.”

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.«

So they moved on from there and he had another well dug. This time there was no argument so he named the well, “Freedom,” saying, “Now the Lord has given us freedom to expand and be successful in this land.”

23 In od tam se je dvignil v Beeršébo.

From there he moved on to Beersheba.

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.«

That night the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Don't be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and give you many descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.”

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

Isaac built an altar and worshiped the Lord. He also set up his tent, and his servants dug a well there.

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

Sometime later Abimelech came from Gerar to see Isaac, along with Ahuzzath his advisor, and Phicol the commander 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?«

“Why have you come to see me?” Isaac asked them. “Previously you hated me and told me to leave!”

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,

“Now we realize that the Lord is with you,” they replied. “So we agreed that we should make a sworn agreement with you.

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.«

You'll promise not to harm us in the same way we've never hurt you. You'll agree that we've always treated you well, and when we asked you to leave we did so kindly. Now look at how the Lord is blessing you!”

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

So Isaac had a special meal prepared to celebrate the agreement. 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 got up early in the morning and they each swore oaths to one other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left 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.«

It was that very day when Isaac's servants who'd been digging a well came and told him, “We've found water!”

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

So Isaac named the well, “Oath,” and that's why the name of the town is “Well of the Oath” (Beersheba) to this day.

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

When Esau was 40, he married Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, as well as Basemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35 ki sta bili Izaku in Rebeki v žalostno mišljenje.

They caused Isaac and Rebekah a great deal of grief.
