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 former famine which had been in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

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

²And Jehovah appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt: dwell in the land that 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 bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries; and I will perform the oath which I swore 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 unto thy seed will I give all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves --

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

⁵because that Abraham hearkened to my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

⁶فاقام اسحق في جرار

⁶And Isaac dwelt at 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 about his wife. And he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, my wife, [saying to himself,] Lest the men of the place slay me on account of Rebecca -- because she was fair in countenance.

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 some time, that Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked out of the window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was dallying with Rebecca his wife.

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

⁹Then Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is certainly thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? and Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account 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 to us? But a little and one of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a trespass on us.

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

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

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

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

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

¹³And the man became great, and he became continually greater, until he was 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 number of servants; and the Philistines envied him.

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

¹⁵And all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them and filled them with earth.

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

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

¹⁷فمضى اسحق من هناك ونزل في وادي جرار واقام هناك

¹⁷And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his camp 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 dug again the wells of water that they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and that the Philistines had stopped 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 dug 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.

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

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

²¹And they dug 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 thence and dug another well; and they did not strive for that. And he called the name of it Rehoboth, and said, For now Jehovah has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

²³ثم صعد من هناك الى بئر سبع.

²³And he went up 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 to 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 built an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah. And he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well.

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

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

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

²⁷And Isaac said to them, Why are ye come to me, seeing ye hate me, and have driven 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 certainly that Jehovah is with thee; and we said, Let there be then an oath between us -- between 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 wrong, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done to thee nothing but good, and have let thee go in peace; thou art now blessed of Jehovah.

³⁰فصنع لهم ضيافة. فأكلوا وشربوا.

³⁰And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

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

³¹And they rose early in the morning, and swore 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 that they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.

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

³³And he called it Shebah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.

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

³⁴And Esau was forty years old, when he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basmath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

³⁵فكانتا مرارة نفس لاسحق ورفقة

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