Génesis 26
|
| Then came a time of great need in the land, like that which had been before in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar. | Y 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. |
| And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge: | Y apareciósele Jehová, y díjole: No desciendas á Egipto: habita en la tierra que yo te diré; |
| Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham; | Habita 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: |
| I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth; | Y 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. |
| Because Abraham gave ear to my voice and kept my words, my rules, my orders, and my laws. | Por cuanto oyó Abraham mi voz, y guardó mi precepto, mis mandamientos, mis estatutos y mis leyes. |
| So Isaac went on living in Gerar; | Habitó, pues, Isaac en Gerar. |
| And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful. | Y 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. |
| And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife. | Y 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. |
| And he said to Isaac, It is clear that she is your wife: why then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said, For fear that I might be put to death because of her. | Y 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. |
| Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours. | Y 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. |
| And Abimelech gave orders to his people that anyone touching Isaac or his wife was to be put to death. | Entonces Abimelech mandó á todo el pueblo, diciendo: El que tocare á este hombre ó á su mujer, de cierto morirá. |
| Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him. | Y sembró Isaac en aquella tierra, y halló aquel año ciento por uno: y bendíjole Jehová. |
| And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more; | Y el varón se engrandeció, y fué adelantando y engrandeciéndose, hasta hacerse muy poderoso: |
| For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy. | Y tuvo hato de ovejas, y hato de vacas, y grande apero; y los Filisteos le tuvieron envidia. |
| Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines. | Y todos los pozos que habían abierto, los criados de Abraham su padre en sus días, los Filisteos los habían cegado y llenado de tierra. |
| And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are. | Y dijo Abimelech á Isaac: Apártate de nosotros, porque mucho más poderoso que nosotros te has hecho. |
| So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there. | E Isaac se fué de allí; y asentó sus tiendas en el valle de Gerar, y habitó allí. |
| And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them. | Y 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. |
| Now Isaac's servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water. | Y los siervos de Isaac cavaron en el valle, y hallaron allí un pozo de aguas vivas. |
| But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it. | Y 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. |
| Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah. | Y abrieron otro pozo, y también riñeron sobre él: y llamó su nombre Sitnah. |
| Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land. | Y 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. |
| And from there he went on to Beer-sheba. | Y de allí subió á Beer-seba. |
| That night the Lord came to him in a vision, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham: have no fear for I am with you, blessing you, and your seed will be increased because of my servant Abraham. | Y 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. |
| Then he made an altar there, and gave worship to the name of the Lord, and he put up his tents there, and there his servants made a water-hole. | Y edificó allí un altar, é invocó el nombre de Jehová, y tendió allí su tienda: y abrieron allí los siervos de Isaac un pozo. |
| And Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol, the captain of his army. | Y Abimelech vino á él desde Gerar, y Ahuzzath, amigo suyo, y Phicol, capitán de su ejército. |
| And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing that in your hate for me you sent me away from you? | Y díjoles Isaac: ¿Por qué venís á mí, pues que me habéis aborrecido, y me echasteis de entre vosotros? |
| And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you; | Y ellos respondieron: Hemos visto que Jehová es contigo; y dijimos: Haya ahora juramento entre nosotros, entre nosotros y ti, y haremos alianza contigo: |
| That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you. | Que 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. |
| Then he made a feast for them, and they all had food and drink. | Entonces él les hizo banquete, y comieron y bebieron. |
| And early in the morning they took an oath one to the other: then Isaac sent them away and they went on their way in peace. | Y se levantaron de madrugada, y juraron el uno al otro; é Isaac los despidió, y ellos se partieron de él en paz. |
| And that day Isaac's servants came to him and gave him word of the water-hole which they had made, and said to him, We have come to water. | Y 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. |
| And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day. | Y llamólo Seba: por cuya causa el nombre de aquella ciudad es Beer-seba hasta este día. |
| And when Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite: | Y cuando Esaú fué de cuarenta años, tomó por mujer á Judith hija de Beeri Hetheo, y á Basemat hija de Elón Hetheo: |
| And Isaac and Rebekah had grief of mind because of them. | Y fueron amargura de espíritu á Isaac y á Rebeca. |
