¹And 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.

¹Bila je pa lakota v deželi, razen one prejšnje lakote, ki je bila v dnevih Abrahamovih. Zatorej je šel Izak k Abimeleku, kralju filistejskemu, v Gerar.

²And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:

²Prikaže pa se mu GOSPOD ter veli: Ne hodi doli v Egipt, ampak bivaj v kraju, ki ti ga povem.

³Sojourn 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;

³Kot tujec bivaj v tem kraju, in s teboj bodem in te bom blagoslovil, kajti tebi in semenu tvojemu dam vse te kraje, in izpolnim prisego, ki sem jo prisegel Abrahamu, tvojemu očetu;

⁴And 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;

⁴in pomnožim seme tvoje kakor zvezde na nebu, in semenu tvojemu dam vse te kraje; in blagoslavljali se bodo v semenu tvojem vsi narodi zemlje:

⁵Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

⁵zato ker je Abraham slušal moj glas in je pokoren bil poveljem mojim, zapovedim mojim, naredbam in postavam mojim.

⁶And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:

⁶Bival je torej Izak v Geraru.

⁷And 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.

⁷In možje tistega kraja so ga vprašali za ženo njegovo, in reče: Sestra je moja; ker se je bal reči: žena moja, češ, da me ne umoré možje tega kraja zaradi Rebeke, ker je lepe postave.

⁸And 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.

⁸Zgodi se pa, ko je tam preživel mnogo dni, da je gledal Abimelek, kralj filistejski, skozi okno, in je videl, in glej, Izak se je igral z Rebeko, ženo svojo.

⁹And 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.

⁹Zato pokliče Abimelek Izaka ter reče: Glej, ta je vendarle žena tvoja; in kako si rekel: Sestra je moja? Izak pa mu reče: Ker sem menil, da ne umrem zaradi nje.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Tedaj reče Abimelek: Kaj si nam storil to? Malo, da ni ležal eden izmed tega ljudstva z ženo tvojo, in si nas zapeljal v pregreho.

¹¹And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

¹¹In Abimelek zapove vsemu ljudstvu svojemu, veleč: Kdor se dotakne tega moža ali žene njegove, smrt ga zadene gotovo.

¹²Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

¹²In Izak je sejal v tej deželi, in žel je isto leto stotero, tako ga je blagoslovil GOSPOD.

¹³And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

¹³In rastel je ta mož in napredoval neprestano, da je postal silno mogočen;

¹⁴For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

¹⁴in je imel črede ovac in črede goved in mnogo poslov, zato so mu zavidali Filistejci.

¹⁵For 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.

¹⁵In vse vodnjake, ki so jih bili izkopali hlapci očeta njegovega v dnevih Abrahama, očeta njegovega, so zasuli Filistejci in napolnili s prstjo.

¹⁶And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.

¹⁶In Abimelek veli Izaku: Loči se od nas, ker postal si mnogo močnejši od nas.

¹⁷And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

¹⁷Izak torej odide odondod ter razpne šatore v dolini Gerarski in prebiva tam.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸Izkoplje pa Izak zopet vodnjake, ki so jih bili izkopali v dnevih Abrahama, očeta njegovega, in ki so jih zasuli Filistejci po smrti Abrahamovi, in jih imenuje z imeni, katera jim je dal oče njegov.

¹⁹And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

¹⁹In ko kopljejo hlapci Izakovi v dolini, najdejo tam vodnjak žive vode.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰Ali prepirali so se pastirji gerarski s pastirji Izakovimi, govoreč: Naša je ta voda. Zato je imenoval tisti vodnjak Esek [T. j. prepir.], ker so se sprli ž njim.

²¹And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.

²¹In ko so izkopali drugi vodnjak, so se prepirali tudi za tega; zato ga je imenoval Sitna [T. j. nasprotstvo.].

²²And 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.

²²Premakne pa odondod šatore in izkoplje drug vodnjak, in za tega se niso prepirali; zato ga je imenoval Rehobot [T. j. prostranost.]. Rekel je namreč: Sedaj nam je GOSPOD razširil prostor, da bodimo plodni v tem kraju.

²³And he went up from thence to Beersheba.

²³Potem gre odondod gori v Bersebo.

²⁴And 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.

²⁴Tam se mu prikaže GOSPOD še tisto noč in reče: Jaz sem Bog Abrahama, očeta tvojega; ne boj se, zakaj jaz sem s teboj in te blagoslovim, in pomnožim seme tvoje zaradi Abrahama, svojega hlapca.

²⁵And 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.

²⁵In postavi ondi oltar in kliče ime GOSPODOVO, in razpne ondi svoj šator; in hlapci Izakovi izkopljejo ondi vodnjak.

²⁶Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.

²⁶Abimelek pa pride k njemu iz Gerara z Ahuzatom, prijateljem svojim, in Pikolom, poveljnikom vojske njegove.

²⁷And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?

²⁷In reče jim Izak: Zakaj ste prišli k meni, ko me sovražite in ste me pognali od sebe?

²⁸And 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;

²⁸Oni pa reko: Razvideli smo jasno, da je GOSPOD s teboj; zato smo rekli: Bodi sedaj prisega med nami, med nami in teboj; sklenimo torej zavezo s teboj:

²⁹That 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.

²⁹da nam ne storiš hudega, kakor se nismo doteknili tebe in kakor smo ti le dobro storili in odposlali te v miru. Ti si sedaj res blagoslovljenec GOSPODOV!

³⁰And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.

³⁰In napravi jim pojedino, in so jedli in pili.

³¹And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

³¹Zjutraj pa vstanejo s svitom ter prisežejo drug drugemu; in Izak jih spremi ter odidejo od njega v miru.

³²And 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.

³²Zgodi se pa še isti dan, da pridejo hlapci Izakovi ter mu sporočé o vodnjaku, ki so ga bili izkopali, ter mu reko: Našli smo vodo.

³³And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.

³³In imenoval ga je Siba; zato je ime tistega mesta Berseba do današnjega dne.

³⁴And 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:

³⁴Ko je pa imel Ezav štirideset let, si vzame za ženo Judito, hčer Beerja Hetejca, in Basemato, hčer Elona Hetejca:obe sta pa žalili srce Izaku in Rebeki.

³⁵Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.

³⁵obe sta pa žalili srce Izaku in Rebeki.
