There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

And God appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

So Isaac settled in Gerar.

The 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."
8 Teah te kum a sen a om phoeiah Philisti manghai Abimelek loh bangbuet lamkah a dan hatah Isaak loh a yuu Rebekah a lawte lawt a hmuh.
It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and look, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, 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.
Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Look, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because 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.
Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt 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.
Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely 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.
Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. And God blessed him.
13 Tekah hlang khaw pantai tih thoeih la thoeih coeng. Te dongah a khawknah hil boeilentih rhoeng.
The man became wealthy, and prospered more and more until he became very wealthy.

Now 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.
16 Te dongah Abimelek loh Isaak te, “Nang he kaimih lakah bahoengna tahoeng dongah kaimih taeng lamloh nong laeh,” a ti nah.
Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."

Isaac departed from there, camped in the valley of Gerar, and lived 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 pheklaa sui.
Isaac dug again the wells which the servants of his father Abraham had dug. 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.

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

The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 Te phoeiah tuito a tloe a too uh hatah te dongah khaw toh uh thae bal tih a mingte Sitnah a sui.
They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.

He left that place, and dug another well. They did not argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now God has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."

He went up from there to Beersheba.

And God appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your descendants 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.
He built an altar there, and called on the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac's servants dug a well.

Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the commander of his army.
27 Te dongah Isaak loh amih te, “Nangmih loh kai nan hmuhuet uh tih na taeng lamkah kaina haek uh phoeiah kai taengla balae nan loh uh,” a ti nah.
Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"
