Suencuek 26

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 was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.

2 Te vaengah anih taengah BOEIPA phoe tih, “Egypt la cet boeh. Nang taengah kan thui khohmuen ah rhaehrhong mai.

And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell you of.

3 Hekah kho ah na bakuep cakhaw, 'Hekah khohmuen pum he nang neh nang kah tiingan taengah ka paek ni, ' tila na pa Abraham taengah ka toemngam sut olhlo te ka thoh ham coeng dongah nang taengah ka om vetih nang yoethen kan paek ni.

And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam.

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 your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed.

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 Abraam your father listened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.

6 Isaak loh Gerar ah kho a sak.

And Isaac lived in Gerara.

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 questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should kill him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.

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 he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting 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.

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then your wife? why have you said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.

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 to him, Why have you done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with your wife, and you would have brought [a sin of] ignorance upon 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 his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable 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 he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.

13 Tekah hlang khaw pantai tih thoeih la thoeih coeng. Te dongah a khawk nah hil boeilen tih rhoeng.

And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became 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 cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines 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 pauh.

And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines 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, Depart from us, for you are 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 rested in the valley of Gerara, 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 phek la a sui.

And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.

19 Tedae Isaak kah sal rhoek loh soklong ah a too uh hatah hingnah tui tuito te a hmuh uh.

And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living 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.

And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured 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 having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.

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 departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.

23 Te phoeiah te lamloh Beersheba la cet.

And he went up thence to the well of the oath.

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 the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam your father; fear not, for I am with you, and I will bless you, and multiply your seed for the sake of Abraam your father.

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 there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.

26 Te vaengah Gerar lamkah Abimelek neh amah kah baerhoep Ahuzzath khaw, amah kah caempuei mangpa Phikol te Isaak taengla halo uh.

And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.

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, Therefore have you come to me? whereas you hated me, and sent 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 have surely seen that the Lord was with you, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and we will make a covenant with you,

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 you shall do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred you, and according as we have treated you well, and have sent you forth peaceably; and now you are blessed of the Lord.

30 Te dongah amih ham buhkoknah a saii tih a caak a ok uh.

And he made a feast for them, 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 arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.

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 in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not 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, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.

34 Esau khaw kum sawmli a lo ca vaengah a yuu te Khitti Beeri canu Judith neh Khitti Elon canu Basemath te a loh.

And Esau was forty years old; and he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.

35 Te dongah Isaak neh Rebekah taengah mueihla khahingnah om.

And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
