¹Aga maal oli nälg pärast seda eelmist nälga, mis Aabrahami päevil oli olnud. Ja Iisak läks vilistite kuninga Abimeleki juurde Gerarisse.

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.

²Ja Issand ilmutas ennast temale ning ütles: 'Ära mine alla Egiptusesse! Jää maale, kuhu ma sind käsin!

²And Jehovah appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt: dwell in the land that I shall tell thee of.

³Ela võõrana siin maal, ja ma olen sinuga ning õnnistan sind, sest sinule ja sinu soole ma annan kõik need maad ning pean vannet, mille ma olen vandunud su isale Aabrahamile.

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.

⁴Ja ma teen su soo paljuks nagu taevatähed ja annan su soole kõik need maad, ja sinu soo nimel õnnistavad endid kõik maailma rahvad,

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 --

⁵sellepärast et Aabraham kuulas mu sõna ja pidas, mis ma käskisin pidada - mu käske, seadlusi ja õpetusi.'

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

⁶Ja Iisak jäi elama Gerarisse.

⁶And Isaac dwelt at Gerar.

⁷Kui kohalikud mehed küsisid tema naise kohta, siis ta ütles: 'See on mu õde.' Sest ta kartis öelda: 'Mu naine', mõeldes ise: 'Muidu kohalikud mehed tapavad mu Rebeka pärast, sest ta on ilusa välimusega.'

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.

⁸Aga kui ta seal pikemat aega oli viibinud, vaatas Abimelek, vilistite kuningas, kord aknast välja ja nägi, et Iisak hellitas oma naist Rebekat.

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.

⁹Siis Abimelek kutsus Iisaki ja ütles: 'Vaata, ta on tõepoolest su naine! Kuidas sa siis võisid öelda: Ta on mu õde?' Ja Iisak vastas temale: 'Ma mõtlesin, et muidu ma ehk pean tema pärast surema.'

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.

¹⁰Aga Abimelek ütles: 'Miks sa meile seda tegid? Kui kergesti oleks võinud keegi rahva hulgast magada su naisega ja sa oleksid meie peale toonud süü!'

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.

¹¹Ja Abimelek andis käsu kogu rahvale, öeldes: 'Kes puudutab seda meest ja tema naist, peab surema!'

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

¹²Ja Iisak külvas seal maal ja sai sel aastal sajakordselt, sest Issand õnnistas teda.

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

¹³Ja mees läks rikkaks, läks üha rikkamaks, kuni ta oli läinud väga rikkaks.

¹³And the man became great, and he became continually greater, until he was very great.

¹⁴Ja temal oli lamba- ja kitsekarju ja veisekarju ja palju peret, nõnda et vilistid teda kadestasid.

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

¹⁵Ja vilistid matsid kinni ja täitsid mullaga kõik kaevud, mis tema isa sulased olid kaevanud tema isa Aabrahami päevil.

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.

¹⁶Ja Abimelek ütles Iisakile: 'Mine ära meie juurest, sest sa oled saanud meist palju vägevamaks!'

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

¹⁷Siis Iisak läks sealt ära ja lõi oma telgid üles Gerari orgu ning elas seal.

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

¹⁸Ja Iisak kaevas uuesti need veekaevud, mis tema isa Aabrahami päevil olid kaevatud ja mis vilistid pärast Aabrahami surma olid kinni matnud; ja ta pani neile needsamad nimed, mis tema isa neile oli pannud.

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.

¹⁹Aga kui Iisaki sulased kaevasid orus ja leidsid seal voolava veega kaevu,

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

²⁰siis Gerari karjased riidlesid Iisaki karjastega, öeldes: 'Vesi on meie oma!' Ta pani siis kaevule nimeks Eesek, sellepärast et nad temaga olid tülitsenud.

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.

²¹Siis nad kaevasid teise kaevu, ja selle pärast riidlesid nad ka; ja sellele ta pani nimeks Sitna.

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

²²Sealt ta siirdus edasi ja kaevas veel ühe kaevu, aga selle pärast nad ei riielnud; ja sellele ta pani nimeks Rehobot ning ütles: 'Nüüd on Issand andnud meile avarust, et võiksime siin maal olla viljakad.'

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.

²³Ja sealt ta läks üles Beer-Sebasse.

²³And he went up thence to Beer-sheba.

²⁴Ja Issand ilmutas ennast temale selsamal ööl ning ütles: 'Mina olen su isa Aabrahami Jumal. Ära karda, sest ma olen sinuga ja õnnistan sind! Ma teen su soo paljuks oma sulase Aabrahami pärast.'

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.

²⁵Siis ta ehitas sinna altari, hüüdis appi Issanda nime ja lõi sinna oma telgi üles; ja Iisaki sulased kaevasid sinna kaevu.

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.

²⁶Ja Abimelek tuli Gerarist tema juurde ühes oma sõbra Ahusati ja väepealik Piikoliga.

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

²⁷Aga Iisak ütles neile: 'Miks tulete minu juurde? Te ju vihkate mind ja olete mind eneste juurest ära saatnud!'

²⁷And Isaac said to them, Why are ye come to me, seeing ye hate me, and have driven me away from you?

²⁸Ja nemad vastasid: 'Me näeme selgesti, et Issand on sinuga. Seepärast me ütleme: Olgu meie vahel vanne, meie ja sinu vahel, ja me teeme sinuga lepingu,

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,

²⁹et sa meile kurja ei tee, nõnda nagu me sinusse ei ole puutunud, vaid oleme sulle ainult head teinud ja sind rahuga ära saatnud. Sina oled ju nüüd Issanda õnnistatu!'

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.

³⁰Siis ta tegi neile võõruspeo ning nad sõid ja jõid.

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

³¹Ja nad tõusid hommikul vara ning andsid üksteisele vande. Siis Iisak saatis nad ära ja nad läksid ta juurest rahuga.

³¹And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

³²Ja selsamal päeval tulid Iisaki sulased ning teatasid temale kaevust, mille nad olid kaevanud, ja ütlesid temale: 'Me leidsime vett.'

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.

³³Siis ta nimetas selle Sibaks; seepärast on linna nimeks tänapäevani Beer-Seba.

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

³⁴Kui Eesav oli nelikümmend aastat vana, võttis ta naiseks Juuditi, hett Beeri tütre, ja Baasmati, hett Eeloni tütre.

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.

³⁵Aga need olid meelehärmiks Iisakile ja Rebekale.

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