Kejadian 26

¹Maka timbullah kelaparan di negeri itu. --Ini bukan kelaparan yang pertama, yang telah terjadi dalam zaman Abraham. Sebab itu Ishak pergi ke Gerar, kepada Abimelekh, raja orang Filistin.

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

²Lalu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepadanya serta berfirman: "Janganlah pergi ke Mesir, diamlah di negeri yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu.

²And the LORD appeared to him and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you.

³Tinggallah di negeri ini sebagai orang asing, maka Aku akan menyertai engkau dan memberkati engkau, sebab kepadamulah dan kepada keturunanmu akan Kuberikan seluruh negeri ini, dan Aku akan menepati sumpah yang telah Kuikrarkan kepada Abraham, ayahmu.

³Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you, for to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham your father.

⁴Aku akan membuat banyak keturunanmu seperti bintang di langit; Aku akan memberikan kepada keturunanmu seluruh negeri ini, dan oleh keturunanmu semua bangsa di bumi akan mendapat berkat,

⁴I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and will give to your offspring all these lands. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,

⁵karena Abraham telah mendengarkan firman-Ku dan memelihara kewajibannya kepada-Ku, yaitu segala perintah, ketetapan dan hukum-Ku."

⁵because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."

⁶Jadi tinggallah Ishak di Gerar.

⁶So Isaac settled in Gerar.

⁷Ketika orang-orang di tempat itu bertanya tentang isterinya, berkatalah ia: "Dia saudaraku," sebab ia takut mengatakan: "Ia isteriku," karena pikirnya: "Jangan-jangan aku dibunuh oleh penduduk tempat ini karena Ribka, sebab elok parasnya."

⁷When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister," for he feared to say, "My wife," thinking, "lest the men of the place should kill me because of Rebekah," because she was attractive in appearance.

⁸Setelah beberapa lama ia ada di sana, pada suatu kali menjenguklah Abimelekh, raja orang Filistin itu dari jendela, maka dilihatnya Ishak sedang bercumbu-cumbuan dengan Ribka, isterinya.

⁸When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac laughing with Rebekah his wife.

⁹Lalu Abimelekh memanggil Ishak dan berkata: "Sesungguhnya dia isterimu, masakan engkau berkata: Dia saudaraku?" Jawab Ishak kepadanya: "Karena pikirku: Jangan-jangan aku mati karena dia."

⁹So Abimelech called Isaac and said, "Behold, she is your wife. How then could you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.'"

¹⁰Tetapi Abimelekh berkata: "Apakah juga yang telah kauperbuat ini terhadap kami? Mudah sekali terjadi, salah seorang dari bangsa ini tidur dengan isterimu, sehingga dengan demikian engkau mendatangkan kesalahan atas kami."

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 upon us."

¹¹Lalu Abimelekh memberi perintah kepada seluruh bangsa itu: "Siapa yang mengganggu orang ini atau isterinya, pastilah ia akan dihukum mati."

¹¹So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, "Whoever touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."

¹²Maka menaburlah Ishak di tanah itu dan dalam tahun itu juga ia mendapat hasil seratus kali lipat; sebab ia diberkati TUHAN.

¹²And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him,

¹³Dan orang itu menjadi kaya, bahkan kian lama kian kaya, sehingga ia menjadi sangat kaya.

¹³and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy.

¹⁴Ia mempunyai kumpulan kambing domba dan lembu sapi serta banyak anak buah, sehingga orang Filistin itu cemburu kepadanya.

¹⁴He had possessions of flocks and herds and many servants, so that the Philistines envied him.

¹⁵Segala sumur, yang digali dalam zaman Abraham, ayahnya, oleh hamba-hamba ayahnya itu, telah ditutup oleh orang Filistin dan ditimbun dengan tanah.

¹⁵(Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.)

¹⁶Lalu kata Abimelekh kepada Ishak: "Pergilah dari tengah-tengah kami sebab engkau telah menjadi jauh lebih berkuasa dari pada kami."

¹⁶And Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we."

¹⁷Jadi pergilah Ishak dari situ dan berkemahlah ia di lembah Gerar, dan ia menetap di situ.

¹⁷So Isaac departed from there and encamped in the valley of Gerar and settled there.

¹⁸Kemudian Ishak menggali kembali sumur-sumur yang digali dalam zaman Abraham, ayahnya, dan yang telah ditutup oleh orang Filistin sesudah Abraham mati; disebutkannyalah nama sumur-sumur itu menurut nama-nama yang telah diberikan oleh ayahnya.

¹⁸And Isaac dug again the wells of water that had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham. And he gave them the names that his father had given them.

¹⁹Ketika hamba-hamba Ishak menggali di lembah itu, mereka mendapati di situ mata air yang berbual-bual airnya.

¹⁹But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of spring water,

²⁰Lalu bertengkarlah para gembala Gerar dengan para gembala Ishak. Kata mereka: "Air ini kepunyaan kami." Dan Ishak menamai sumur itu Esek, karena mereka bertengkar dengan dia di sana.

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

²¹Kemudian mereka menggali sumur lain, dan mereka bertengkar juga tentang itu. Maka Ishak menamai sumur itu Sitna.

²¹Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also, so he called its name Sitnah.

²²Ia pindah dari situ dan menggali sumur yang lain lagi, tetapi tentang sumur ini mereka tidak bertengkar. Sumur ini dinamainya Rehobot, dan ia berkata: "Sekarang TUHAN telah memberikan kelonggaran kepada kita, sehingga kita dapat beranak cucu di negeri ini."

²²And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

²³Dari situ ia pergi ke Bersyeba.

²³From there he went up to Beersheba.

²⁴Lalu pada malam itu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepadanya serta berfirman: "Akulah Allah ayahmu Abraham; janganlah takut, sebab Aku menyertai engkau; Aku akan memberkati engkau dan membuat banyak keturunanmu karena Abraham, hamba-Ku itu."

²⁴And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham's sake."

²⁵Sesudah itu Ishak mendirikan mezbah di situ dan memanggil nama TUHAN. Ia memasang kemahnya di situ, lalu hamba-hambanya menggali sumur di situ.

²⁵So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.

²⁶Datanglah Abimelekh dari Gerar mendapatkannya, bersama-sama dengan Ahuzat, sahabatnya, dan Pikhol, kepala pasukannya.

²⁶When Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army,

²⁷Tetapi kata Ishak kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu datang mendapatkan aku? Bukankah kamu benci kepadaku, dan telah menyuruh aku keluar dari tanahmu?"

²⁷Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?"

²⁸Jawab mereka: "Kami telah melihat sendiri, bahwa TUHAN menyertai engkau; sebab itu kami berkata: baiklah kita mengadakan sumpah setia, antara kami dan engkau; dan baiklah kami mengikat perjanjian dengan engkau,

²⁸They said, "We see plainly that the LORD has been with you. So we said, let there be a sworn pact between us, between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you,

²⁹bahwa engkau tidak akan berbuat jahat kepada kami, seperti kami tidak mengganggu engkau, dan seperti kami semata-mata berbuat baik kepadamu dan membiarkan engkau pergi dengan damai; bukankah engkau sekarang yang diberkati TUHAN."

²⁹that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD."

³⁰Kemudian Ishak mengadakan perjamuan bagi mereka, lalu mereka makan dan minum.

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

³¹Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi bersumpah-sumpahanlah mereka. Kemudian Ishak melepas mereka, dan mereka meninggalkan dia dengan damai.

³¹In the morning they rose early and exchanged oaths. And Isaac sent them on their way, and they departed from him in peace.

³²Pada hari itu datanglah hamba-hamba Ishak memberitahukan kepadanya tentang sumur yang telah digali mereka, serta berkata kepadanya: "Kami telah mendapat air."

³²That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well that they had dug and said to him, "We have found water."

³³Lalu dinamainyalah sumur itu Syeba. Sebab itu nama kota itu adalah Bersyeba, sampai sekarang.

³³He called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.

³⁴Ketika Esau telah berumur empat puluh tahun, ia mengambil Yudit, anak Beeri orang Het, dan Basmat, anak Elon orang Het, menjadi isterinya.

³⁴When Esau was forty years old, he took Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite to be his wife, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite,

³⁵Kedua perempuan itu menimbulkan kepedihan hati bagi Ishak dan bagi Ribka.

³⁵and they made life bitter for Isaac and Rebekah.
