Génesis 26
Bible Darby
1*Et il y eut une famine dans le pays, outre la première famine qui avait eu lieu aux jours d’Abraham ; et Isaac s’en alla vers Abimélec, roi des Philistins, à Guérar.
2Et l’Éternel lui apparut, et dit : Ne descends pas en Égypte ; demeure dans le pays que je t’ai dit ;
3séjourne dans ce pays-ci, et je serai avec toi, et je te bénirai ; car à toi et à ta semence je donnerai tous ces pays, et j’accomplirai le serment que j’ai juré à Abraham, ton père,
4et je multiplierai ta semence comme les étoiles des cieux, et je donnerai tous ces pays à ta semence, et toutes les nations de la terre se béniront en ta semence,
5– parce qu’Abraham a écouté ma voix, et a gardé mon ordonnance, mes commandements, mes statuts et mes lois.
6Et Isaac habita à Guérar.
7Et les hommes du lieu s’enquirent au sujet de sa femme, et il dit : C’est ma sœur, car il craignait de dire : ma femme ; de peur, [pensait-il], que les hommes du lieu ne me tuent à cause de Rebecca, car elle est belle de visage.
8Et il arriva, comme son séjour dans ce [lieu] se prolongeait, qu’Abimélec, roi des Philistins, regarda par la fenêtre ; et il vit, et voici, Isaac se jouait avec Rebecca sa femme.
9Et Abimélec appela Isaac, et dit : Voici, assurément c’est ta femme ; et comment as-tu dit : C’est ma sœur ? Et Isaac lui dit : Parce que je disais : De peur que je ne meure à cause d’elle.
10Et Abimélec dit : Qu’est-ce que tu nous as fait ? Car peu s’en est fallu que quelqu’un du peuple n’ait couché avec ta femme, et tu aurais fait venir la culpabilité sur nous.
11Et Abimélec commanda à tout le peuple, disant : Celui qui touchera cet homme ou sa femme sera certainement mis à mort.
12Et Isaac sema dans cette terre ; et il recueillit cette année-là le centuple ; et l’Éternel le bénit.
13Et l’homme grandissait, et il allait grandissant de plus en plus, jusqu’à ce qu’il devint fort grand ;
14et il eut des troupeaux de menu bétail, et des troupeaux de gros bétail, et beaucoup de serviteurs ; et les Philistins lui portèrent envie ;
15et tous les puits que les serviteurs de son père avaient creusés aux jours d’Abraham, son père, les Philistins les bouchèrent et les remplirent de terre.
16Et Abimélec dit à Isaac : Va-t’en d’avec nous ; car tu es beaucoup plus puissant que nous.
17Et Isaac partit de là, et campa dans la vallée de Guérar, et y habita.
18Et Isaac recreusa les puits d’eau qu’on avait creusés aux jours d’Abraham, son père, et que les Philistins avaient bouchés après la mort d’Abraham ; et il leur donna des noms selon les noms que son père leur avait donnés.
19Et les serviteurs d’Isaac creusèrent dans la vallée, et ils y trouvèrent un puits d’eau vive.
20Et les bergers de Guérar contestèrent avec les bergers d’Isaac, disant : L’eau est à nous. Et il appela le nom du puits Ések, parce qu’ils s’étaient disputés avec lui.
21Et ils creusèrent un autre puits, et ils contestèrent aussi pour celui-là ; et il appela son nom Sitna.
22Et il se transporta de là, et creusa un autre puits, et ils ne contestèrent pas pour celui-là ; et il appela son nom Rehoboth, parce que, dit-il, l’Éternel nous a maintenant donné de l’espace, et nous fructifierons dans le pays.
23Et de là il monta à Beër-Shéba.
24Et l’Éternel lui apparut cette nuit-là, et dit : Je suis le Dieu d’Abraham ton père ; ne crains pas, car je suis avec toi ; et je te bénirai, et je multiplierai ta semence, à cause d’Abraham, mon serviteur.
25Et il bâtit là un autel, et invoqua le nom de l’Éternel ; et il y dressa sa tente ; et les serviteurs d’Isaac y creusèrent un puits.
26Et Abimélec alla de Guérar vers lui, avec Akhuzzath, son ami, et Picol, chef de son armée.
27Et Isaac leur dit : Pourquoi venez-vous vers moi, puisque vous me haïssez et que vous m’avez renvoyé d’auprès de vous ?
28Et ils dirent : Nous avons vu clairement que l’Éternel est avec toi, et nous avons dit : Qu’il y ait donc un serment entre nous, entre nous et toi ; et nous ferons une alliance avec toi :
29que tu ne nous feras pas de mal, comme nous ne t’avons pas touché, et comme nous ne t’avons fait que du bien, et t’avons renvoyé en paix. Tu es maintenant le béni de l’Éternel.
30Et il leur fit un festin, et ils mangèrent et burent.
31Et ils se levèrent de bon matin, et se jurèrent l’un à l’autre ; et Isaac les renvoya, et ils s’en allèrent d’avec lui en paix.
32Et il arriva, en ce jour-là, que les serviteurs d’Isaac vinrent, et l’avertirent au sujet du puits qu’ils avaient creusé, et lui dirent : Nous avons trouvé de l’eau.
33Et il l’appela Shéba ; c’est pourquoi le nom de la ville a été Beër-Shéba, jusqu’à aujourd’hui.
34Et Ésaü était âgé de 40 ans, et il prit pour femmes Judith, fille de Beéri, le Héthien, et Basmath, fille d’Élon, le Héthien ;
35et elles furent une amertume d’esprit pour Isaac et pour Rebecca.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y HUBO hambre en la tierra, además de la primera hambre que fué en los días de Abraham: y fuése Isaac á Abimelech rey de los Filisteos, en Gerar.
2Y apareciósele Jehová, y díjole: No desciendas á Egipto: habita en la tierra que yo te diré;
3Habita en esta tierra, y seré contigo, y te bendeciré; porque á ti y á tu simiente daré todas estas tierras, y confirmaré el juramento que juré á Abraham tu padre:
4Y multiplicaré tu simiente como las estrellas del cielo, y daré á tu simiente todas estas tierras; y todas las gentes de la tierra serán benditas en tu simiente:
5Por cuanto oyó Abraham mi voz, y guardó mi precepto, mis mandamientos, mis estatutos y mis leyes.
6Habitó, pues, Isaac en Gerar.
7Y los hombres de aquel lugar le preguntaron acerca de su mujer; y él respondió: Es mi hermana; porque tuvo miedo de decir: Es mi mujer; que tal vez, dijo, los hombres del lugar me matarían por causa de Rebeca; porque era de hermoso aspecto.
8Y sucedió que, después que él estuvo allí muchos días, Abimelech, rey de los Filisteos, mirando por una ventana, vió á Isaac que jugaba con Rebeca su mujer.
9Y llamó Abimelech á Isaac, y dijo: He aquí ella es de cierto tu mujer: ¿cómo, pues, dijiste: Es mi hermana? E Isaac le respondió: Porque dije: Quizá moriré por causa de ella.
10Y Abimelech dijo: ¿Por qué nos has hecho esto? Por poco hubiera dormido alguno del pueblo con tu mujer, y hubieras traído sobre nosotros el pecado.
11Entonces Abimelech mandó á todo el pueblo, diciendo: El que tocare á este hombre ó á su mujer, de cierto morirá.
12Y sembró Isaac en aquella tierra, y halló aquel año ciento por uno: y bendíjole Jehová.
13Y el varón se engrandeció, y fué adelantando y engrandeciéndose, hasta hacerse muy poderoso:
14Y tuvo hato de ovejas, y hato de vacas, y grande apero; y los Filisteos le tuvieron envidia.
15Y todos los pozos que habían abierto los criados de Abraham su padre en sus días, los Filisteos los habían cegado y llenado de tierra.
16Y dijo Abimelech á Isaac: Apártate de nosotros, porque mucho más poderoso que nosotros te has hecho.
17E Isaac se fué de allí; y asentó sus tiendas en el valle de Gerar, y habitó allí.
18Y volvió á abrir Isaac los pozos de agua que habían abierto en los días de Abraham su padre, y que los Filisteos habían cegado, muerto Abraham; y llamólos por los nombres que su padre los había llamado.
19Y los siervos de Isaac cavaron en el valle, y hallaron allí un pozo de aguas vivas.
20Y los pastores de Gerar riñeron con los pastores de Isaac, diciendo: El agua es nuestra: por eso llamó el nombre del pozo Esek, porque habían altercado con él.
21Y abrieron otro pozo, y también riñeron sobre él: y llamó su nombre Sitnah.
22Y apartóse de allí, y abrió otro pozo, y no riñeron sobre él: y llamó su nombre Rehoboth, y dijo: Porque ahora nos ha hecho ensanchar Jehová, y fructificaremos en la tierra.
23Y de allí subió á Beer-seba.
24Y apareciósele Jehová aquella noche, y dijo: Yo soy el Dios de Abraham tu padre; no temas, que yo soy contigo, y yo te bendeciré, y multiplicaré tu simiente por amor de Abraham mi siervo.
25Y edificó allí un altar, é invocó el nombre de Jehová, y tendió allí su tienda: y abrieron allí los siervos de Isaac un pozo.
26Y Abimelech vino á él desde Gerar, y Ahuzzath, amigo suyo, y Phicol, capitán de su ejército.
27Y díjoles Isaac: ¿Por qué venís á mí, pues que me habéis aborrecido, y me echasteis de entre vosotros?
28Y ellos respondieron: Hemos visto que Jehová es contigo; y dijimos: Haya ahora juramento entre nosotros, entre nosotros y ti, y haremos alianza contigo:
29Que no nos hagas mal, como nosotros no te hemos tocado, y como solamente te hemos hecho bien, y te enviamos en paz: tú ahora, bendito de Jehová.
30Entonces él les hizo banquete, y comieron y bebieron.
31Y se levantaron de madrugada, y juraron el uno al otro; é Isaac los despidió, y ellos se partieron de él en paz.
32Y en aquel día sucedió que vinieron los criados de Isaac, y diéronle nuevas acerca del pozo que habían abierto, y le dijeron: Agua hemos hallado.
33Y llamólo Seba: por cuya causa el nombre de aquella ciudad es Beer-seba hasta este día.
34Y cuando Esaú fué de cuarenta años, tomó por mujer á Judith hija de Beeri Hetheo, y á Basemat hija de Elón Hetheo:
35Y fueron amargura de espíritu á Isaac y á Rebeca.
King James Version
1And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
3Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
4And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
7And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
8And it came to pass, 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 sporting with Rebekah his wife.
9And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
10And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
13And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
20And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
21And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
24And the LORD appeared unto 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.
25And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
26Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
27And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
29That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
30And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
31And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
33And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.
34And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
35Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
World English Bible
1There was a famine in the land, in addition to the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
2The LORD appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
3Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
4I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
5because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
6Isaac lived in Gerar.
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.”
8When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
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.’”
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!”
11Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
12Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. The LORD blessed him.
13The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
14He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
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.
16Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
17Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
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.
19Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
20The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. So he called its name Sitnah.
22He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. So he called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23He went up from there to Beersheba.
24The LORD 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 offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.”
25He built an altar there, and called on the LORD’s name, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac’s servants dug a well.
26Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.
27Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?”
28They said, “We saw plainly that the LORD was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let’s make a covenant with you,
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 the LORD.”
30He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to one another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32The same day, Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.”
33He called it “Shibah”. Therefore the name of the city is “Beersheba” to this day.
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.
35They grieved Isaac’s and Rebekah’s spirits.
