Genesis 26
1 Tsono kunagwa njala ina mʼdzikomo kuwonjezera pa ija ya poyamba ya nthawi ya Abrahamu ndipo Isake anapita kwa Abimeleki mfumu ya Afilisti ku Gerari.
And it was a famine in the land besides the famine former which it was in [the] days of Abraham and he went Isaac to Abimelech [the] king of [the] Philistines Gerar towards.
2 Yehova anadza kwa Isake nati, “Usapite ku Igupto; koma ukhale mʼdziko limene ndidzakuwuza kuti ukakhalemo.
And he appeared to him Yahweh and he said may not you go down Egypt towards dwell in the land which I will say to you.
3 Khala mʼdziko lino ndipo ndidzakhala nawe ndi kukudalitsa. Pakuti kwa iwe ndi zidzukulu zako ndidzapereka mayiko onsewa. Choncho ndidzakwaniritsa pangano limene ndinalumbira kwa Abrahamu, abambo ako.
Sojourn in the land this so I may be with you and I will bless you for to you and to offspring your I will give all the lands these and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham father your.
4 Zidzukulu zako ndidzazichulukitsa ngati nyenyezi za mu mlengalenga ndi kuzipatsa mayiko onsewa. Ndiponso anthu onse a pa dziko lapansi adzadalitsika kudzera mwa zidzukulu zako,
And I will multiply offspring your like [the] stars of the heavens and I will give to offspring your all the lands these and they will bless themselves by offspring your all [the] nations of the earth.
5 chifukwa Abrahamu anandimvera, nasunga malamulo anga onse.”
Consequence that he listened Abraham to voice my and he kept duty my commandments my statutes my and laws my.
6 Choncho Isake anakhala ku Gerari.
And he dwelt Isaac in Gerar.
7 Anthu akumaloko atafunsa Isake za mkazi wake, iye anati, “Ndi mlongo wanga ameneyu.” Iye anaopa kunena kuti, “Ndi mkazi wanga ameneyu,” popeza ankaganiza kuti anthu akumeneku akhoza kumupha ndi kukwatira mkazi wake popeza Rebeka anali wokongola.
And they asked [the] men of the place of wife his and he said [is] sister my she for he was afraid to say wife my lest they should kill me [the] men of the place on Rebekah for [was] good of appearance she.
8 Isake atakhalako kumeneko nthawi yayitali, Abimeleki mfumu ya Afilisti, anasuzumira pa zenera kuyangʼana kunja, ndipo anaona Isake akugwiragwira Rebeka, mkazi wake.
And it was that they had become long to him there the days and he looked down Abimelech [the] king of [the] Philistines through the window and he saw and there! Isaac [was] playing with Rebekah wife his.
9 Choncho Abimeleki anamuyitanitsa Isake nati, “Uyu ndi mkazi wako ndithu! Nanga bwanji umati, ‘Ndi mlongo wanga’?” Ndipo Isake anamuyankha kuti, “Ine ndimaganiza kuti ndingataye moyo wanga chifukwa cha iyeyu.”
And he summoned Abimelech Isaac and he said surely here! [is] wife your she and how? did you say [is] sister my she and he said to him Isaac for I thought lest I should die on her.
10 Tsono Abimeleki anati, “Nʼchiyani chimene watichitira? Mmodzi mwa anthuwa anatsala pangʼono kugona ndi mkazi wako ndipo ukanatisandutsa ife kukhala olakwa.”
And he said Abimelech what? this have you done to us like a little he lay with one of the people wife your and you will bring on us guilt.
11 Choncho Abimeleki analamula anthu ake onse nati, “Aliyense amene avutitse munthu uyu pamodzi ndi mkazi wake adzaphedwa ndithu.”
And he commanded Abimelech all the people saying who [-ever] touches the man this and wife his certainly he will be put to death.
12 Isake anadzala mbewu mʼmunda, ndipo chaka chomwecho anakolola zinthu zambiri chifukwa Yehova anamudalitsa.
And he sowed Isaac in the land that and he found in the year that one hundred measures and he blessed him Yahweh.
13 Isake analemera. Chuma chake chinkachulukirachulukira mpaka anasanduka munthu wolemera kwambiri.
And he became great the man and he went continuously and becoming great until for he became great exceedingly.
14 Anali ndi nkhosa, ngʼombe ndi antchito ambiri mwakuti Afilisti anamuchitira nsanje.
And it be[longed] to him livestock of flock and livestock of herd and service much and they envied him [the] Philistines.
15 Nthawi iyi nʼkuti Afilisti atakwirira ndi dothi zitsime zonse zimene antchito abambo ake Abrahamu anakumba mu nthawi ya abambo akewo.
And all the wells which they had dug [the] servants of father his in [the] days of Abraham father his they stopped up them [the] Philistines and they filled them earth.
16 Ndipo Abimeleki anati kwa Isake, “Muchoke pakati pathu chifukwa mwasanduka wamphamvu kuposa ife.”
And he said Abimelech to Isaac go from with us for you have become [too] powerful for us much.
17 Choncho Isake anachokako kumeneko nakakhala ku chigwa cha Gerari kumene anakhazikikako.
And he went from there Isaac and he encamped in [the] wadi of Gerar and he dwelt there.
18 Isake anafukulanso zitsime zija zimene zinakumbidwa mu nthawi ya abambo ake Abrahamu. Atamwalira Abrahamu, Afilisti anakwirira zitsimezi. Tsono anazitcha mayina omwewo amene abambo ake anazitcha.
And he returned Isaac and he dug - [the] wells of water which people had dug in [the] days of Abraham father his and they had stopped up them [the] Philistines after [the] death of Abraham and he called them names like the names which he had called them father his.
19 Antchito a Isake anakumba mʼchigwamo ndipo anapezamo kasupe wa madzi.
And they dug [the] servants of Isaac in the wadi and they found there a well of water living.
20 Koma abusa a ku Gerari anakangana ndi abusa a Isake nati, “Madziwa ndi athu.” Motero iye anachitcha chitsimecho Mkangano chifukwa anakangana naye.
And they disputed [the] herdsmen of Gerar with [the] herdsmen of Isaac saying [belongs] to us the water and he called [the] name of the well Esek for they quarreled with him.
21 Kenaka iwo anakumba chitsime china, koma anakangananso chifukwa cha chitsimecho. Choncho anachitcha dzina lakuti Chidani.
And they dug a well another and they disputed also on it and he called name its Sitnah.
22 Anachokapo pamenepo nakakumba china. Koma apa sanakanganiranenso ndi munthu. Iye anachitcha Kutakasuka, nati, “Tsopano Yehova watipatsa ife malo otakasukirako ndipo tilemera muno.”
And he moved on from there and he dug a well another and not they disputed on it and he called name its Rehoboth and he said that now he has made space Yahweh for us and we will be fruitful in the land.
23 Kenaka Isake anachoka ku malo kuja kupita ku Beeriseba.
And he went up from there Beer Sheba.
24 Usiku umenewo Yehova anadza kwa Isake nati, “Ine ndine Mulungu wa abambo ako Abrahamu. Usachite mantha popeza Ine ndili ndi iwe. Ndidzakudalitsa ndipo ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri chifukwa cha mtumiki wanga Abrahamu.”
And he appeared to him Yahweh in the night that and he said I [am] [the] God of Abraham father your may not you be afraid for [am] with you I and I will bless you and I will multiply offspring your for sake of Abraham servant my.
25 Isake anamanga guwa lansembe pamenepo ndipo anapembedza Yehova. Pomwepo anamanga tenti yake, ndipo antchito ake anakumba chitsime.
And he built there an altar and he called on [the] name of Yahweh and he pitched there tent his and they dug there [the] servants of Isaac a well.
26 Abimeleki pamodzi ndi Ahuzati mlangizi wake ndi Fikolo mkulu wa ankhondo ake anabwera kwa Isake kuchokera ku Gerari.
And Abimelech he came to him from Gerar and Ahuzzah close friend his and Phicol [the] commander of army his.
27 Tsopano Isake anawafunsa kuti, “Bwanji mwabwera kwa ine, popeza munandichitira nkhanza ndi kundithamangitsa?”
And he said to them Isaac why? have you come to me and you you hate me and you sent away me from with you.
28 Iwo anayankha, “Tsopano tadziwa kuti Yehova anali ndi iwe; ndiye taganiza kuti inu ndi ife tichite lumbiro. Ife tichite pangano ndi inu
And they said certainly we have seen that he has been Yahweh - with you and we said let it be please an oath between us between us and between you and let us make a covenant with you.
29 kuti inu simudzatichitira zoyipa monga ifenso sitinakuchitireni nkhondo. Ife tinakuchitirani zabwino zokhazokha, ndipo tinakulolani kuti musamuke kuchoka kwathu mu mtendere. Tsopano Yehova wakudalitsani.”
If you will do with us harm just as not we have touched you and just as we have done with you only good and we sent away you in peace you now [are] blessed of Yahweh.
30 Tsono Isake anawakonzera phwando, ndipo anadya ndi kumwa.
And he prepared for them a feast and they ate and they drank.
31 Mmawa wake aliyense analumbira pangano kwa mnzake. Tsono Isake anawalola kuti anyamuke ndipo anamusiya mu mtendere.
And they rose early in the morning and they swore an oath each to brother his and he sent off them Isaac and they went from with him in peace.
32 Tsiku limenelo, antchito a Isake anabwera namuwuza za chitsime chimene anakumba. Iwo anati, “Tawapeza madzi!”
And it was - on the day that and they came [the] servants of Isaac and they told to him on [the] causes of the well which they had dug and they said to him we have found water.
33 Iye chitsimecho anachitcha Pangano. Nʼchifukwa chake mzindawu umatchedwa Beeriseba mpaka lero.
And he called it Shibah there-fore [the] name of the city [is] Beer Sheba until the day this.
34 Pamene Esau anali ndi zaka 40, anakwatira Yuditi mwana wamkazi wa Beeri Mhiti. Anakwatiranso Basemati mwana wa mkazi wa Eloni Mhiti.
And he was Esau a son of forty year[s] and he took a wife Judith [the] daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath [the] daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 Akazi awiriwa anasandutsa Isake ndi Rebeka kukhala ndi moyo wa madandawulo nthawi zonse.
And they were bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
