Genesis 26

1 Abraham dung nathuem ah kaom hmaloe koek khokhahaih oh pacoengah, to prae thungah khokhahaih oh let. To pongah Issak loe Gerar ah kaom Philistin siangpahrang Abimelek khaeah caeh.

And 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.

2 Issak khaeah Angraeng angphong pae moe, Izip prae ah caeh tathuk hmah; oh han kang thuih ih prae ah om ah;

And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell you of:

3 hae prae thungah om ah, kai mah kang oh thuih moe, tahamhoihaih kang paek han; hae prae boih hae nangmah hoi na caanawk khaeah kang paek moe, nam pa Abraham khaeah ka sak ih lokmaihaih to ka koepsak han.

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for unto you, and unto your seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham your father;

4 Na caanawk to van ih cakaeh zetto kang pungsak moe, hae prae hae kang paek boih han; na caanawk rang hoiah long nui ih kaminawk boih tahamhoihaih hnu o tih;

And I will make your seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto your seed all these countries; and in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

5 Abraham loe ka lok to tahngaih, ka thuih ih loknawk, patuk ih loklamnawk hoi daannawk to pazui, tiah a naa.

Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

6 To pongah Issak loe Gerar ah oh;

And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:

7 to ah kaom kaminawk mah a zu kawng to dueng o naah, anih mah ka zu ni, tiah thuih han zit pongah, Ka tanuh ni, tiah a thuih. To tiah thui ai nahaeloe Rebekah loe kranghoih pongah, hae prae ah kaom kaminawk mah na hum o moeng tih, tiah a poek.

And 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.

8 To prae thungah atue kasawk ah oh; nito naah loe Philistin siangpahrang Abimelek mah thokbuem hoiah dan tathuk naah, kamhai Issak hoi a zu Rebekah to a hnuk.

And 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.

9 To pongah Abimelek mah Issak to kawk moe, Khenah, anih loe na zu bae to; tipongah anih loe ka tanuh ni, tiah na thuih loe? tiah a naa. Issak mah anih khaeah, to tiah ka thui ai nahaeloe anih pongah ka dueh moeng tih, tiah a naa.

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, certainly she is your wife; and how said you, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.

10 To pacoengah Abimelek mah, Tipongah kaicae khaeah to tiah lok na thuih loe? Kami maeto mah na zu hae iip haih moeng nahaeloe, kaicae nuiah zaehaih nam tik sut han bae to, tiah a naa.

And Abimelech said, What is this you have done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with your wife, and you should have brought guiltiness upon us.

11 To pongah Abimelek mah angmah ih kaminawk boih khaeah, Mi kawbaktih doeh hae kami, anih ih zu sui kami loe hum oh, tiah lok paek.

And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

12 Issak loe to prae thungah lawk to sak; Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek moe, saningto thungah cang alet cumvaito hak.

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

13 Anih loe to nathuem hoiah angraeng amtong moe, angraeng parai, a tawnh ih hmuennawk doeh pung pae aep aep;

And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

14 tuunawk, maitawnawk hoi tamna paroeai a tawnh pongah, Philistin kaminawk mah anih to ut o.

For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

15 Ampa Abraham hing na thung a tamnanawk han takaehsak ih tuikhawnawk to Philistinnawk mah pit pae o ving moe, long hoiah taet pae o boih let.

For all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.

16 To naah Abimelek mah Issak khaeah, Nang loe kaicae pong thacak boeh pongah, hae ahmuen hoi kalah bangah caeh lai ah, tiah a naa.

And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for you are much mightier than we.

17 To pongah Issak mah to ahmuen to caehtaak moe, Gerar azawn ah khosak.

And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

18 Ampa hing nathuem ah takaeh ih tuikhawnawk, Abraham duek pacoengah Philistinnawk mah pahnawtsak ih tuikhawnawk to Issak mah a tamnanawk han takaehsak let moe, ampa mah sak ih ahmin to sak let.

And Isaac 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: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

19 Issak ih tamnanawk mah azawn ah tui takaeh o moe, kaciim tuipuek to hnuk o.

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

20 Toe Gerar ah maitaw toep kaminawk hoi Issak ih maitaw toep kaminawk loe maeto hoi maeto, Kai ih tui ni, tiah anglomh o. To tiah anglomh o pongah, to ih tuikhaw to Esek, tiah ahmin sak.

And 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.

21 To pacoengah kalah tuikhaw to takaeh let, to tuikhaw doeh anglomh o let bae; to pongah to tuikhaw to Sitnah, tiah ahmin sak.

And they dug another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.

22 To ahmuen hoi angpuen o moe, kalah tuikhaw maeto takaeh o let; to naah loe mi mah doeh lomh o ai boeh. Vaihi loe Angraeng mah ahmuen paek boeh moe, prae thungah qoeng o tahang tih boeh, tiah a thuih pongah, to tuikhaw to Rehoboth, tiah ahmin sak.

And he removed from thence, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

23 Anih loe to ahmuen hoiah Beersheba ah caeh tahang.

And he went up from thence to Beersheba.

24 To na ni qum ah anih khaeah Angraeng angphong pae, Kai loe nam pa Abraham ih Sithaw ah ka oh; zii hmah, nang hoi nawnto ka oh, ka tamna Abraham rang hoiah tahamhoihaih kang paek moe, na caanawk kang pungsak han, tiah a naa.

And the LORD appeared unto 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 seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

25 Issak mah to ahmuen ah hmaicam to sak moe, Angraeng hmin to kawk; to ah kahni im a sak moe, a tamnanawk mah tuikhaw to takaeh o.

And 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.

26 To naah Abimelek loe angmah ih ampui Ahuzzath hoi misatuh angraeng Phikol to hoih moe, Gerar vangpui hoiah Issak ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh o.

Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.

27 Issak mah nihcae khaeah, Kai nang hnukma o moe, nang haek o boeh na ai maw, tikhoe nang zoh o let loe? tiah a naa.

And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come all of you to me, seeing all of you hate me, and have sent me away from you?

28 Nihcae mah, Angraeng loe nang hoi nawnto oh, tito kahoih ah ka panoek o boeh; to pongah, aicae salakah lokmaihaih to om nasoe, kaicae hoi nang salak lokmaihaih to om nasoe, tiah ka thuih o; kaicae hoi nang salakah angdaehhaih sah si;

And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with you: and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you;

29 kaicae mah na nuiah kahoih hmuen khue ai ah loe, sethaih tidoeh ka sah o ai, nang to lunghoih ta ah ni kang patoeh o; to pongah nangmah doeh kaicae sethaih to sah hmah; nang loe Angraeng mah vaihi tahamhoihaih paek boeh, tiah a naa.

That you will do us no hurt, as we have not touched you, and as we have done unto you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace: you are now the blessed of the LORD.

30 To pacoengah Issak mah nihcae hanah buh raenghaih to sak pae, nihcae loe caak o moe naek o.

And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.

31 Khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, maeto hoi maeto lokmaihaih to sak o; to pacoengah Issak mah nihcae to patoeh; nihcae loe lunghoih ta hoiah caeh o.

And they rose up early in the morning, and swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

32 To na niah Issak ih tamnanawk to angzoh o moe, tuikhaw takaehhaih kawng to thuih pae o, anih khaeah, Tui to ka hnuk o boeh, tiah a naa o.

And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said unto him, We have found water.

33 Anih mah to tui to Shebah, tiah ahmin sak; to pongah to vangpui ih ahmin loe vaihni ni khoek to Beersheba, tiah kawk o.

And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.

34 Esau loe saning qui palito oh naah, Hit kami Beeri canu, Judith hoi Hit kami Elon canu, Bashemath to zu ah lak;

And 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:

35 nihnik loe Issak hoi Rebekah dawnrai paekkung ah oh hoi.

Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
