¹A povstal v zemi hlad, mimo tamtoho prvého hladu, ktorý bol za dňov Abrahámových, a Izák odišiel k Abimelechovi, kráľovi Filištínov, do Gerára.

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.

²Lebo sa mu bol ukázal Hospodin a riekol mu: Neodchádzaj dolu do Egypta, ale bývaj v zemi, o ktorej ti poviem.

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

³Bývaj v tejto zemi jako pohostín, a budem s tebou a požehnám ťa, lebo tebe a tvojmu semenu dám všetky tieto zeme a postavím prísahu, ktorú som prisahal Abrahámovi, tvojmu otcovi.

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.

⁴A rozmnožím tvoje semeno tak, že ho bude jako hviezd na nebi, a dám tvojmu semenu všetky tieto zeme, a v tvojom semene budú požehnané všetky národy zeme,

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 --

⁵pretože Abrahám poslúchol na môj hlas a zachoval moje nariadenie, moje prikázania, moje ustanovenia a moje zákony.

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

⁶A tak býval Izák v Geráre.

⁶And Isaac dwelt at Gerar.

⁷Ale mužovia toho miesta sa pýtali po jeho žene, a vravel: To je moja sestra. Lebo sa bál povedať: Moja žena. Aby ma vraj nezabili mužovia toho miesta pre Rebeku, lebo bola krásneho vzozrenia.

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.

⁸A stalo sa, keď tam už býval nejaký čas, že Abimelech, kráľ Filištínov, vyzeral z obloka a videl a hľa, Izák sa poihrával s Rebekou, svojou ženou.

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.

⁹Vtedy povolal Abimelech Izáka a povedal: Hľa, vidieť, že je to tvoja žena. Nuž, akože je to, že si hovoril: Je moja sestra? A Izák mu povedal: Vravel som tak preto, že som povedal: Aby som nezomrel pre ňu.

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.

¹⁰A Abimelech povedal: Čo si nám to urobil? Málo chýbalo, čo by bol niektorý z ľudu ležal s tvojou ženou, a bol by si na nás uviedol vinu.

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.

¹¹Potom prikázal Abimelech všetkému ľudu a riekol: Kto by sa dotknul toho človeka alebo jeho ženy, istotne zomrie.

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

¹²A Izák sial v tej zemi a našiel toho roku, že sa mu urodilo stonásobne, a Hospodin ho požehnal.

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

¹³A človek narástol veľký a prospieval viacej a viacej a rástol tak, až bol veľmi veliký.

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

¹⁴A mal stádo drobného dobytka a stádo rožného statku a služobnej čeľade mnoho, a preto mu závideli Filištíni.

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

¹⁵A všetky studne, ktoré boli vykopali sluhovia jeho otca za dní Abraháma, jeho otca, zahádzali Filištíni a zaplnili ich zemou.

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.

¹⁶A Abimelech povedal Izákovi: Odídi od nás, lebo si o mnoho mocnejší ako my.

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

¹⁷A tak odišiel odtiaľ Izák a rozložil sa táborom v doline Geráre a býval tam.

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

¹⁸A Izák zase vykopal studne vody, ktoré boli vykopali za dní Abraháma, jeho otca, a ktoré boli zahádzali Filištíni po smrti Abrahámovej, a pomenoval ich menami, jakými ich bol pomenoval jeho otec.

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.

¹⁹A služobníci Izákovi kopali aj na tej doline a našli tam studňu živej vody.

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

²⁰Ale pastieri z Gerára vadili sa s pastiermi Izákovými a vraveli: To je naša voda. A tak nazval meno studne Esek, lebo sa vadili s ním.

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.

²¹Potom vykopali druhú studňu a vadili sa aj o tú, a preto nazval jej meno Sitna.

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

²²A hnul sa odtiaľ a kopal ešte inú studňu, a o tú sa už nevadili, a preto ju pomenoval: Rechobót, a povedal: Teraz nám upriestranil Hospodin, a rozplodíme sa na zemi.

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.

²³Potom odišiel odtiaľ hore do Bér-šeby.

²³And he went up thence to Beer-sheba.

²⁴A v tú noc sa mu ukázal Hospodin a riekol: Ja som Bôh Abraháma, tvojho otca; neboj sa, lebo ja som s tebou a požehnám ťa a rozmnožím tvoje semeno pre Abraháma, svojho služobníka.

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.

²⁵A vystavil tam oltár a vzýval meno Hospodinovo a tam tiež postavil svoj stán, a služobníci Izákovi tam vykopali studňu.

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.

²⁶Potom išiel k nemu Abimelech z Gerára a Achuzat, jeho priateľ, a Fíkol, knieža jeho vojska.

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

²⁷A Izák im povedal: Prečo ste prišli ku mne, keď ma nenávidíte a zahnali ste ma od seba?

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

²⁸A povedali: Vidíme zrejme, že je Hospodin s tebou, a povedali sme si: Nechže je prísaha medzi nami, medzi mami a medzi tebou, a učiníme s tebou smluvu,

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,

²⁹že nám neurobíš zlého, tak ako sme sa my teba neba nedotkli a jako sme ti neurobili iba dobré a prepustili sme ťa v pokoji, ty, teraz požehnaný Hospodinov.

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.

³⁰A učinil im hostinu, a jedli a pili.

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

³¹Potom vstali skoro ráno a prisahali druh druhovi, a Izák ich prepustil, a odišli od neho v pokoji.

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

³²A stalo sa toho dňa, že prišli služobníci Izákovi a oznámili mu o studni, ktorú kopali, a povedali mu: Našli sme vodu.

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.

³³A pomenoval ju: Šeba, preto je meno toho mesta Bér-šeba, až do dnešného dňa.

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

³⁴A Ezavovi bolo štyridsať rokov, keď si vzal ženu Juditu, dcéru Bériho Hetejského, a Bazematu, dcéru Elona Hetejského.

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.

³⁵A boly horkosťou ducha Izákovi aj Rebeke.

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