¹There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to 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.

²Yahweh appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.

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

³Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your 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;

⁴I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and will give to your seed all these lands. In your seed will 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 Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, 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.

⁶Isaac lived in Gerar.

⁶Bival je torej Izak v Geraru.

⁷The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “My wife,” lest, he thought, “the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at.”

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.

⁸It happened, 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 caressing 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.

⁹Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister?’” Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die because of 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.

¹⁰Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on 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.

¹¹Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

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

¹²Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him.

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

¹³The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.

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

¹⁴He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.

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

¹⁵Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled 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.

¹⁶Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go from us, for you are much mightier than we.”

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

¹⁷Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.

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

¹⁸Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. 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.

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

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

²⁰The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended 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.

²¹They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.

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

²²He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will 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.

²³He went up from there to Beersheba.

²³Potem gre odondod gori v Bersebo.

²⁴Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your 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.

²⁵He built an altar there, and called on the name of Yahweh, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac’s servants dug 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 his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.

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

²⁷Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you 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?

²⁸They said, “We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,

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 you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.’ You are now the blessed of Yahweh.”

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!

³⁰He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

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

³¹They rose up some time in the morning, and swore one to another. 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.

³²It happened the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to 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.

³³He called it Shibah. Shibah means “oath” or “seven.” Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba Beersheba means “well of the oath” or “well of the seven” to this day.

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

³⁴When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, 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.

³⁵They grieved Isaac’s and Rebekah’s spirits.

³⁵obe sta pa žalili srce Izaku in Rebeki.
