Genesis 26

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines to Gerara.	1 وكان في الارض جوع غير الجوع الاول الذي كان في ايام ابراهيم. فذهب اسحق الى ابيمالك ملك الفلسطينيين الى جرار.
2 And the Lord appeared to him and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.	2 وظهر له الرب وقال لا تنزل الى مصر. اسكن في الارض التي اقول لك.
3 And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.	3 تغرب في هذه الارض. فاكون معك واباركك. لاني لك ولنسلك اعطي جميع هذه البلاد وافي بالقسم الذي اقسمت لابراهيم ابيك.
4 And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.	4 واكثر نسلك كنجوم السماء واعطي نسلك جميع هذه البلاد وتتبارك في نسلك جميع امم الارض.
5 Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.	5 من اجل ان ابراهيم سمع لقولي وحفظ ما يحفظ لي اوامري وفرائضي وشرائعي.
6 So Isaac abode in Gerara.	6 فاقام اسحق في جرار
7 And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would like him because of her beauty.	7 وسأله اهل المكان عن امرأته. فقال هي اختي. لانه خاف ان يقول امرأتي لعل اهل المكان يقتلونني من اجل رفقة لانها كانت حسنة المنظر.
8 And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca his wife.	8 وحدث اذ طالت له الايام هناك ان ابيمالك ملك الفلسطينيين اشرف من الكوّة ونظر واذا اسحق يلاعب رفقة امرأته.
9 And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.	9 فدعا ابيمالك اسحق وقال انما هي امرأتك. فكيف قلت هي اختي. فقال له اسحق لاني قلت لعلي اموت بسببها.
10 And Abimelech said: Why hadst thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying:	10 فقال ابيمالك ما هذا الذي صنعت بنا. لولا قليل لاضطجع احد الشعب مع امرأتك فجلبت علينا ذنبا.
11 He that shall touch this man's wife, shall surely be put to death.	11 فاوصى ابيمالك جميع الشعب قائلا الذي يمسّ هذا الرجل او امرأته موتا يموت
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.	12 وزرع اسحق في تلك الارض فاصاب في تلك السنة مئة ضعف وباركه الرب.
13 And the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great:	13 فتعاظم الرجل وكان يتزايد في التعاظم حتى صار عظيما جدا.
14 And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying him,	14 فكان له مواش من الغنم ومواش من البقر وعبيد كثيرون. فحسده الفلسطينيون.
15 Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:	15 وجميع الآبار التي حفرها عبيد ابيه في ايام ابراهيم ابيه طمّها الفلسطينيون وملأوها ترابا.
16 Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.	16 وقال أبيمالك لاسحق اذهب من عندنا لانك صرت اقوى منا جدا.
17 So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell there:	17 فمضى اسحق من هناك ونزل في وادي جرار واقام هناك
18 And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called them.	18 فعاد اسحق ونبش آبار الماء التي حفروها في ايام ابراهيم ابيه وطمّها الفلسطينيون بعد موت ابيه. ودعاها باسماء كالاسماء التي دعاها بها ابوه.
19 And they digged in the torrent, and found living water.	19 وحفر عبيد اسحق في الوادي فوجدوا هناك بئر ماء حيّ.
20 But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.	20 فخاصم رعاة جرار رعاة اسحق قائلين لنا الماء. فدعا اسم البئر عسق لانهم نازعوه.
21 And they digged also another; and for that they quarreled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.	21 ثم حفروا بئرا اخرى وتخاصموا عليها ايضا. فدعى اسمها سطنة.
22 Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.	22 ثم نقل من هناك وحفر بئرا اخرى ولم يتخاصموا عليها. فدعا اسمها رحوبوت. وقال انه الآن قد ارحب لنا الرب واثمرنا في الارض.
23 And he went up from that place to Bersabee,	23 ثم صعد من هناك الى بئر سبع.
24 Where the Lord appeared to him that same might, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.	24 فظهر له الرب في تلك الليلة وقال انا اله ابراهيم ابيك. لا تخف لاني معك واباركك واكثر نسلك من اجل ابراهيم عبدي.
25 And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded his servants to dig a well.	25 فبنى هناك مذبحا ودعا باسم الرب. ونصب هناك خيمته وحفر هناك عبيد اسحق بئرا
26 To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,	26 وذهب اليه من جرار ابيمالك وأحزّات من اصحابه وفيكول رئيس جيشه.
27 Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you?	27 فقال لهم اسحق ما بالكم أتيتم اليّ وانتم قد ابغضتموني وصرفتموني من عندكم.
28 And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,	28 فقالوا اننا قد رأينا ان الرب كان معك. فقلنا ليكن بيننا حلف بيننا وبينك ونقطع معك عهدا
29 That thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing of the Lord.	29 ان لا تصنع بنا شرا. كما لم نمسّك وكما لم نصنع بك الا خيرا وصرفناك بسلام. انت الآن مبارك الرب.
30 And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:	30 فصنع لهم ضيافة. فأكلوا وشربوا.
31 Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.	31 ثم بكروا في الغد وحلفوا بعضهم لبعض وصرفهم اسحق. فمضوا من عنده بسلام.
32 And behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water.	32 وحدث في ذلك اليوم ان عبيد اسحق جاءوا واخبروه عن البئر التي حفروا وقالوا له قد وجدنا ماء.
33 Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day.	33 فدعاها شبعة. لذلك اسم المدينة بئر سبع الى هذا اليوم
34 And Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon of the same place.	34 ولما كان عيسو ابن اربعين سنة اتخذ زوجة يهوديت ابنة بيري الحثّي وبسمة ابنة ايلون الحثّي.
35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.	35 فكانتا مرارة نفس لاسحق ورفقة
