1 وكان في الارض جوع غير الجوع الاول الذي كان في ايام ابراهيم. فذهب اسحق الى ابيمالك ملك الفلسطينيين الى جرار. | 1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. |
2 وظهر له الرب وقال لا تنزل الى مصر. اسكن في الارض التي اقول لك. | 2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: |
3 تغرب في هذه الارض. فاكون معك واباركك. لاني لك ولنسلك اعطي جميع هذه البلاد وافي بالقسم الذي اقسمت لابراهيم ابيك. | 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 countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; |
4 واكثر نسلك كنجوم السماء واعطي نسلك جميع هذه البلاد وتتبارك في نسلك جميع امم الارض. | 4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; |
5 من اجل ان ابراهيم سمع لقولي وحفظ ما يحفظ لي اوامري وفرائضي وشرائعي. | 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. |
6 فاقام اسحق في جرار | 6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: |
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. | 7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon. |
8 وحدث اذ طالت له الايام هناك ان ابيمالك ملك الفلسطينيين اشرف من الكوّة ونظر واذا اسحق يلاعب رفقة امرأته. | 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. |
9 فدعا ابيمالك اسحق وقال انما هي امرأتك. فكيف قلت هي اختي. فقال له اسحق لاني قلت لعلي اموت بسببها. | 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 for her. |
10 فقال ابيمالك ما هذا الذي صنعت بنا. لولا قليل لاضطجع احد الشعب مع امرأتك فجلبت علينا ذنبا. | 10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. |
11 فاوصى ابيمالك جميع الشعب قائلا الذي يمسّ هذا الرجل او امرأته موتا يموت | 11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. |
12 وزرع اسحق في تلك الارض فاصاب في تلك السنة مئة ضعف وباركه الرب. | 12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. |
13 فتعاظم الرجل وكان يتزايد في التعاظم حتى صار عظيما جدا. | 13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: |
14 فكان له مواش من الغنم ومواش من البقر وعبيد كثيرون. فحسده الفلسطينيون. | 14 For he had possession of flocks, and possessions of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. |
15 وجميع الآبار التي حفرها عبيد ابيه في ايام ابراهيم ابيه طمّها الفلسطينيون وملأوها ترابا. | 15 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. |
16 وقال أبيمالك لاسحق اذهب من عندنا لانك صرت اقوى منا جدا. | 16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. |
17 فمضى اسحق من هناك ونزل في وادي جرار واقام هناك | 17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. |
18 فعاد اسحق ونبش آبار الماء التي حفروها في ايام ابراهيم ابيه وطمّها الفلسطينيون بعد موت ابيه. ودعاها باسماء كالاسماء التي دعاها بها ابوه. | 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. |
19 وحفر عبيد اسحق في الوادي فوجدوا هناك بئر ماء حيّ. | 19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. |
20 فخاصم رعاة جرار رعاة اسحق قائلين لنا الماء. فدعا اسم البئر عسق لانهم نازعوه. | 20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. |
21 ثم حفروا بئرا اخرى وتخاصموا عليها ايضا. فدعى اسمها سطنة. | 21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also:and he called the name of it Sitnah. |
22 ثم نقل من هناك وحفر بئرا اخرى ولم يتخاصموا عليها. فدعا اسمها رحوبوت. وقال انه الآن قد ارحب لنا الرب واثمرنا في الارض. | 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 the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. |
23 ثم صعد من هناك الى بئر سبع. | 23 And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba. |
24 فظهر له الرب في تلك الليلة وقال انا اله ابراهيم ابيك. لا تخف لاني معك واباركك واكثر نسلك من اجل ابراهيم عبدي. | 24 And the LORD 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. |
25 فبنى هناك مذبحا ودعا باسم الرب. ونصب هناك خيمته وحفر هناك عبيد اسحق بئرا | 25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well. |
26 وذهب اليه من جرار ابيمالك وأحزّات من اصحابه وفيكول رئيس جيشه. | 26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army. |
27 فقال لهم اسحق ما بالكم أتيتم اليّ وانتم قد ابغضتموني وصرفتموني من عندكم. | 27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? |
28 فقالوا اننا قد رأينا ان الرب كان معك. فقلنا ليكن بيننا حلف بيننا وبينك ونقطع معك عهدا | 28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee; |
29 ان لا تصنع بنا شرا. كما لم نمسّك وكما لم نصنع بك الا خيرا وصرفناك بسلام. انت الآن مبارك الرب. | 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 the LORD. |
30 فصنع لهم ضيافة. فأكلوا وشربوا. | 30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink. |
31 ثم بكروا في الغد وحلفوا بعضهم لبعض وصرفهم اسحق. فمضوا من عنده بسلام. | 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. |
32 وحدث في ذلك اليوم ان عبيد اسحق جاءوا واخبروه عن البئر التي حفروا وقالوا له قد وجدنا ماء. | 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. |
33 فدعاها شبعة. لذلك اسم المدينة بئر سبع الى هذا اليوم | 33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day. |
34 ولما كان عيسو ابن اربعين سنة اتخذ زوجة يهوديت ابنة بيري الحثّي وبسمة ابنة ايلون الحثّي. | 34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: |
35 فكانتا مرارة نفس لاسحق ورفقة | 35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah. |
