¹وكان في الارض جوع غير الجوع الاول الذي كان في ايام ابراهيم. فذهب اسحق الى ابيمالك ملك الفلسطينيين الى جرار.

¹And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.

²وظهر له الرب وقال لا تنزل الى مصر. اسكن في الارض التي اقول لك.

²And Jehovah appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt. Dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of.

³تغرب في هذه الارض. فاكون معك واباركك. لاني لك ولنسلك اعطي جميع هذه البلاد وافي بالقسم الذي اقسمت لابراهيم ابيك.

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 lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father.

⁴واكثر نسلك كنجوم السماء واعطي نسلك جميع هذه البلاد وتتبارك في نسلك جميع امم الارض.

⁴And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.

⁵من اجل ان ابراهيم سمع لقولي وحفظ ما يحفظ لي اوامري وفرائضي وشرائعي.

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

⁶فاقام اسحق في جرار

⁶And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

⁷وسأله اهل المكان عن امرأته. فقال هي اختي. لانه خاف ان يقول امرأتي لعل اهل المكان يقتلونني من اجل رفقة لانها كانت حسنة المنظر.

⁷And the men of the place asked him of his wife. And he said, She is my sister. For he feared to say, My wife. Lest, [said he], the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah. Because she was fair to look upon.

⁸وحدث اذ طالت له الايام هناك ان ابيمالك ملك الفلسطينيين اشرف من الكوّة ونظر واذا اسحق يلاعب رفقة امرأته.

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.

⁹فدعا ابيمالك اسحق وقال انما هي امرأتك. فكيف قلت هي اختي. فقال له اسحق لاني قلت لعلي اموت بسببها.

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 because of her.

¹⁰فقال ابيمالك ما هذا الذي صنعت بنا. لولا قليل لاضطجع احد الشعب مع امرأتك فجلبت علينا ذنبا.

¹⁰And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? One of the people might easily have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.

¹¹فاوصى ابيمالك جميع الشعب قائلا الذي يمسّ هذا الرجل او امرأته موتا يموت

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

¹²وزرع اسحق في تلك الارض فاصاب في تلك السنة مئة ضعف وباركه الرب.

¹²And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold. And Jehovah blessed him.

¹³فتعاظم الرجل وكان يتزايد في التعاظم حتى صار عظيما جدا.

¹³And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great.

¹⁴فكان له مواش من الغنم ومواش من البقر وعبيد كثيرون. فحسده الفلسطينيون.

¹⁴And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household. And the Philistines envied him.

¹⁵وجميع الآبار التي حفرها عبيد ابيه في ايام ابراهيم ابيه طمّها الفلسطينيون وملأوها ترابا.

¹⁵Now all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.

¹⁶وقال أبيمالك لاسحق اذهب من عندنا لانك صرت اقوى منا جدا.

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

¹⁷فمضى اسحق من هناك ونزل في وادي جرار واقام هناك

¹⁷And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

¹⁸فعاد اسحق ونبش آبار الماء التي حفروها في ايام ابراهيم ابيه وطمّها الفلسطينيون بعد موت ابيه. ودعاها باسماء كالاسماء التي دعاها بها ابوه.

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.

¹⁹وحفر عبيد اسحق في الوادي فوجدوا هناك بئر ماء حيّ.

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

²⁰فخاصم رعاة جرار رعاة اسحق قائلين لنا الماء. فدعا اسم البئر عسق لانهم نازعوه.

²⁰And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

²¹ثم حفروا بئرا اخرى وتخاصموا عليها ايضا. فدعى اسمها سطنة.

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

²²ثم نقل من هناك وحفر بئرا اخرى ولم يتخاصموا عليها. فدعا اسمها رحوبوت. وقال انه الآن قد ارحب لنا الرب واثمرنا في الارض.

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 Jehovah hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

²³ثم صعد من هناك الى بئر سبع.

²³And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.

²⁴فظهر له الرب في تلك الليلة وقال انا اله ابراهيم ابيك. لا تخف لاني معك واباركك واكثر نسلك من اجل ابراهيم عبدي.

²⁴And Jehovah 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.

²⁵فبنى هناك مذبحا ودعا باسم الرب. ونصب هناك خيمته وحفر هناك عبيد اسحق بئرا

²⁵And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants digged a well.

²⁶وذهب اليه من جرار ابيمالك وأحزّات من اصحابه وفيكول رئيس جيشه.

²⁶Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host.

²⁷فقال لهم اسحق ما بالكم أتيتم اليّ وانتم قد ابغضتموني وصرفتموني من عندكم.

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

²⁸فقالوا اننا قد رأينا ان الرب كان معك. فقلنا ليكن بيننا حلف بيننا وبينك ونقطع معك عهدا

²⁸And they said, We saw plainly that Jehovah was with thee. And we said, Let there now be an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,

²⁹ان لا تصنع بنا شرا. كما لم نمسّك وكما لم نصنع بك الا خيرا وصرفناك بسلام. انت الآن مبارك الرب.

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 Jehovah.

³⁰فصنع لهم ضيافة. فأكلوا وشربوا.

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

³¹ثم بكروا في الغد وحلفوا بعضهم لبعض وصرفهم اسحق. فمضوا من عنده بسلام.

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.

³²وحدث في ذلك اليوم ان عبيد اسحق جاءوا واخبروه عن البئر التي حفروا وقالوا له قد وجدنا ماء.

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.

³³فدعاها شبعة. لذلك اسم المدينة بئر سبع الى هذا اليوم

³³And he called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.

³⁴ولما كان عيسو ابن اربعين سنة اتخذ زوجة يهوديت ابنة بيري الحثّي وبسمة ابنة ايلون الحثّي.

³⁴And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

³⁵فكانتا مرارة نفس لاسحق ورفقة

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