1 Abraham tue vaengkah aka om khokha lamhma bangla khohmuen ah khokha hlawt a om dongah Gerar kah Philisti manghai Abimelek taengla Isaak cet.
And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine which had been in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
2 Te vaengah anih taengah BOEIPA phoe tih, “Egypt la cet boeh. Nang taengah kan thui khohmuen ah rhaehrhong mai.
And Jehovah appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt: dwell in the land that I shall tell thee of.

Sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee and bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries; and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father.
4 Na tiingan khaw vaan aisi bangla ka pungtai sak vetih na tiingan taengah hekah khohmuen boeih ka paek vaengah nang kah tiingan rhang neh diklai namtom boeih a yoethen uh ni.
And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and unto thy seed will I give all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves —
5 Te dongah ni Abraham loh ka ol a hnatun tih ka kueknah, ka olpaek, ka khosing neh ka olkhueng te a ngaithuen,” a ti nah.
because that Abraham hearkened to my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 Isaak loh Gerar ah kho a sak.
And Isaac dwelt at Gerar.
7 Te vaengah te hmuen kah hlang loh a yuu kawng a dawt uh. Te vaengah, “Rebekah he a mueimae then tih anih kongah te hmuen kah hlang rhoek loh kai n'ngawn uh ve,” a ti. “Ka yuu ni,” ti ham a rhih tih, “Ka ngannu ni,” a ti nah.
And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, my wife, [saying to himself, ] Lest the men of the place slay me on account of Rebecca — because she was fair in countenance.
8 Teah te kum a sen a om phoeiah Philisti manghai Abimelek loh bangbuet lamkah a dan hatah Isaak loh a yuu Rebekah a law te lawt a hmuh.
And it came to pass when he had been there some time, that Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked out of the window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was dallying with Rebecca his wife.
9 Te dongah Abimelek loh Isaak te a khue tih, “Anih he na yuu taktak a? Tedae bahamlae, 'Anih he ka ngannu ni, ' na ti,” a ti nah. Te dongah Isaak loh, “Anih kongah ka duek ve,” ka ti dongah ni,” a ti nah.
Then Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is certainly thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? and Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account of her.
10 Te dongah Abimelek loh, “Kaimih taengah balae na saii he? Pilnam khuikah pakhat loh na yuu taengah yalh koinih kaimih soah tholhnah nan pup hloe mai,” a ti nah.
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done to us? But a little and one of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a trespass on us.
11 Te dongah Abimelek loh pilnam boeih te a uen tih, “Hekah hlang neh a yuu te aka ben tah duek rhoe duek saeh,” a ti nah.
And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall certainly be put to death.
12 Isaak loh khohmuen a tawn tih BOEIPA loh yoethen a paek dongah amah kum ah a pueh yakhat a dang.
And Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold; and Jehovah blessed him.
13 Tekah hlang khaw pantai tih thoeih la thoeih coeng. Te dongah a khawk nah hil boeilen tih rhoeng.
And the man became great, and he became continually greater, until he was very great.
14 Te vaengah anih kah tuping boiva neh saelhung boiva khaw, imkhut khaw muep a khueh. Te dongah Philisti rhoek te anih taengah thatlai uh.
And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great number of servants; and the Philistines envied him.
15 Te dongah a napa Abraham tue vaengah a napa kah sal rhoek loh a too uh tuito boeih te Philisti rhoek loh a toeng sak uh tih laipi neh a et pa uh.
And all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them and filled them with earth.
16 Te dongah Abimelek loh Isaak te, “Nang he kaimih lakah bahoeng na tahoeng dongah kaimih taeng lamloh nong laeh,” a ti nah.
And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for thou art become much mightier than we.
17 Isaak loh te lamkah nong phoeiah Gerar soklong ah rhaeh tih pahoi kho a sak.
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his camp in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 Te vaengah a napa Abraham tue vaengah a too uh dae Abraham a duek phoeiah Philisti rhoek loh a toeng sak tuito tui te Isaak loh koep a too. Te dongah tuito ming te a napa kah ming sui phek la a sui.
And Isaac dug again the wells of water that they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and that the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 Tedae Isaak kah sal rhoek loh soklong ah a too uh hatah hingnah tui tuito te a hmuh uh.
And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
20 Tedae Gerar kah boiva aka dawn rhoek neh Isaak kah boiva aka dawn rhoek toh uh thae tih, “Kaimih kah tui ni,” a ti uh. Te dongah amih neh a tukvat uh thae vanbangla Esek tuito tila a ming a sui.
But the shepherds of Gerar strove with Isaac's shepherds, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they had quarrelled with him.
21 Te phoeiah tuito a tloe a too uh hatah te dongah khaw toh uh thae bal tih a ming te Sitnah a sui.
And they dug another well, and they strove for that also; and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 Te lamloh puen uh tih tuito a tloe a too vaengah toh uh thae voel pawh. Te dongah, “BOEIPA loh mamih ham hmuen han saelh tih khohmuen ah m'pungtai uh ni he,” a ti. Te phoeiah a ming te Rehoboth a sui.
And he removed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive for that. And he called the name of it Rehoboth, and said, For now Jehovah has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 Te phoeiah te lamloh Beersheba la cet.
And he went up thence to Beer-sheba.
24 Tedae tekah hlaem ah anih taengla BOEIPA phoe tih, “Kai he na pa Abraham kah Pathen ni. Nang taengah ka om tih ka sal Abraham kong ah nang yoethen kan paek phoeiah na tiingan te ka ping sak ham dongah rhih boeh,” a ti nah.
And Jehovah appeared to 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.
25 Te dongah hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih BOEIPA ming te a phoei. Te phoeiah amah kah dap khaw pahoi a tuk tih Isaak kah sal rhoek loh tuito pahoi a vueh uh.
And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah. And he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well.
26 Te vaengah Gerar lamkah Abimelek neh amah kah baerhoep Ahuzzath khaw, amah kah caempuei mangpa Phikol te Isaak taengla halo uh.
And Abimelech, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol the captain of his host, went to him from Gerar.
27 Te dongah Isaak loh amih te, “Nangmih loh kai nan hmuhuet uh tih na taeng lamkah kai na haek uh phoeiah kai taengla balae nan loh uh,” a ti nah.
And Isaac said to them, Why are ye come to me, seeing ye hate me, and have driven me away from you?
28 Te vaengah amih loh, “BOEIPA tah nang taengah om tila ka hmuh rhoe ka hmuh uh coeng. Te dongah kaimih laklo ah khaw, kaimih laklo neh nang laklo ah olcaeng om saeh lamtah nang taengah moi bop sih ka ti uh.
And they said, We saw certainly that Jehovah is with thee; and we said, Let there be then an oath between us — between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,
29 Nang te kam ben uh pawt tih nang taengah a then bueng ni ka saii uh. Te dongah nang khaw sading la kan tueih uh. BOEIPA loh yoethen m'paek vanbangla kaimih taengah a thae na saii pawt mako,” a ti uh.
that thou wilt do us no wrong, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done to thee nothing but good, and have let thee go in peace; thou art now blessed of Jehovah.

And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31 Te phoeiah mincang ah thoo uh tih hlang khat neh khat te toemngam uh rhoi tih amih te a tueih phoeiah Isaak khaw ngaimong la voei.
And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32 Tedae tekah khohnin ah Isaak kah sal rhoek halo uh tih a taengah a too uh tuito kongmai kawng te puen uh. Te vaengah a taengah, “Tui ka hmuh uh coeng,” a ti nauh.
And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well that they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.
33 Te vaengah tekah hmuen te Sheba a sui dongah khopuei ming khaw tahae khohnin due Beersheba la om.
And he called it Shebah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.

And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and to Rebecca.
