Semtilbu 26
1 Chuin gamsunga chun nasatah in kel ahung lhatan, hiche kel lhah chu Abraham damlaiya ahah tabang in, Isaac chu Gerar langa Philistine lengpa Abimelech heng a ache tai.
Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.
2 Chuin Pathen in Isaac chu ahou limpin hitin aseiye, “Keima thusei ngaiyin, Egypt langa nache thei lou ding ahi.
The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.
3 Chule nangma hiche gam a hin gampam kholyin mi bang in um'in keiman hatah a phatthei kaboh ding nahi. Chule gam jouse hi nangma le na chilhahte jouse kapeh ding nahi, Ajeh chu keiman napa Abraham komma kaki hahselna kamolso tei ding ahi.
Stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.
4 Keiman na chilhahte van chunga ahsite jat banga kapun sah ding, hiche gam ho jouse hi kapeh ding, chule nangma chilhahte a konna vannoi mi jouse phatthei kaboh ding ahi.
I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,
5 Hiche ho jouse hi kabol ding ahi. Ajeh chu Abraham'in kathu angaiyin, kathu lhahna ahin, ka thupeh ahin, ka chondan thu ahin, chule ka danthu a nitsoh keiyin ahi.
because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
6 Hichun Isaac Gerar gamma acheng tan ahi.
So Isaac settled in Gerar.
7 Hiche gamma cheng miho chun Isaac jinu Rebekah chu koi ham tia adoh ule aman adonbut in, “Kasopinu ahi ati peh e,” ajeh chu hiche miho hin Rebekah jeh hin, “Keima eitha lo get uvinte tia anagel jeh a ka sopinu ahi anati ahiye. Ajeh chu amanu amelhoi jeh ahi.”
But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of this place will kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”
8 Hinlah ni phabep jou chun Abimelech Phalistines lengpan bangkot a kon agahven ahile vetan Isaac in Rebekah aji bol'a akinoupi pet amudoh tai.
When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
9 Hichun gang tah in Abimelech in Isaac chu akouvin, “Amanu chu na jinu hilou ham? ibola amanu chu ka sopinu ahe tia nasei ham?” Isaac in adonbut in, “Ka seina ajeh chu ahile ka innneipi jeh a koi tabang khat in eitha lo ding ham kati ahi.”
Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”
10 Abimelech in aseiye, “Ipi dinga hiti pia chu neibol'u hitam? ilou themkhat in ka mite lah a khat touvin na jinu chu ana kipui hen ana luppi kha ta hen lang hileh nangma jeh a kei hon chonset lentah a neilhah sah ding'u hita chula em.”
“What is this you have done to us?” asked Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
11 Hichun Abimelech in danpi khat asem in mipi jouse henga aphong doh in ahi, “Koihi jong leh hiche mipa hihen ajinu hijong le ahin tongkha asuse aum leh thina chan a gotna kipe ding ahi.”
So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
12 Hiche kum chun Isaac in muchi akitun ahile kum dang sang in ajat jakhat val jena tamjon aki-aat e, hiti chun Pakaiyin ama phatthei ana boh'e.
Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,
13 Chua kon chun Isaac chu neile gou in ahung hao doh tan, anei le agou hatah in apun be cheh, apun be cheh jeng in ahi.
and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.
14 Hitobang chun neile gou keu hilouvin kelngoi jong, keltah jong, bonghon jong chule soh le kol jong tamtah ahin neitan, hiche ho jeh hin Phalistine miten nasatah in ahung engse tauvin ahi.
He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
15 Hichun Phalistine miho chu athangthip jeh'un Isaac twikhuh jouse chu abonchan asuhbing peh tauvin ahi. Hiche twikhuh ho sese hi apa Abraham adamlaiya asohten ana laihou chu ahi.
So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.
16 Chuin Abimelech in achaina in Isaac komma aseiye, “Nangma keiho komma kon in chedoh tan ajeh chu nangma keiho sang in natha lhing jotai,” ati.
Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”
17 Hichun Isaac chu amaho komma kon in achen Gerar phaicham ah amaho ponbuh akison uvin hiche mun achun aching tauve.
So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
18 Chuin Isaac in Apa Abraham thi jouva Palestine mipiten ana huhbing peh'u twikhuh ho sese chu alai hong kit'in apa Abraham'in ana minsah twikhuh min ho chu avel sah kit in asem hoisah kit tai.
Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.
19 Isaac sohten Gerar phaicham chu twikhuh alai uva ahile twisam phungkhat alai doh tauve.
Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.
20 Ahin Gerar gamma kelngoi chinghon Isaac kelngoi chingho komma chun “hiche twikhuh hi keiho twikhuh ahi,” atiuvin a kinelpi tauvin ahi; hichun Isaac in hiche twikhuh chu “Esek” asah'in hichun avetsah chu “Kiboina mun,” tina ahi.
But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 Hichun Isaac sohten twikhuh chom dang khat alai kit'un ahile hiche mun jong chu boina ahung um kittan hichun Isaac in “Sitnah” (Tichu kitomona mun tina ahi) asah tan ahi.
Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
22 Chuin Isaac in hiche mun chu adalhan akichon in twikhuh chom beh khat alai kit in ahile hiche mun a vang chun akinahpi tapouvin ahi, hijeh chun Isaac in hiche mun chu “Rehoboth” asah tai. “Ajeh chu tun vang Pathen in eiho ding in gam eihon peh tauve, agamsung ahin eiho cha le nao vin pungjal tauhite,” ati.
He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23 Hiche mun a pat chun Isaac in Beersheba ah akichon kittai.
From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,
24 Hiche jan lele chun Isaac henga Pathen ahung kilah in “Keima napa Abraham Pathen chu kahi, Imacha gichat na nei hih behin ajeh chu keiman nangma ka umpi jing nai, chule phatthei ka boh ding nahi, nason nachilhah te jong hatah a ka punsah ding amaho nam lentah ka soding ahi. Hiche hohi kasuh bulhing ding ahi. Ajeh chu ka sohpa Abraham koma kana kitep nasa ahi.”
and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”
25 Hichun Isaac in hiche mun achun maicham asem in Pathen ahou tai, chule aman aponbuh jong asongdoh kit in asohten twikhuh khat alaikit un ahi.
So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.
26 Ni khat chu Abimelech jong Gerar gamma pat na semangpa Ahuzzath chule asepai lamkai Phicol akipuiyin Isaac to kimuto dingin ahungtai.
Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
27 Isaac in amaho chu adong in, “Ipi dinga ka henga hung nahiuven nei vetda uva nagam uva patna neino doh hitalou ham?” ana ti.
“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”
28 Ama hon adon but'un, “Keihon Pathen in nangma na umpi hi phatechan kamu chen tauve. Hijeh chun nangho le keiho kikah a kihou cham ding kanom ui, chule ikah uva kitepna khat sem kanom uve.
“We can plainly see that the LORD has been with you,” they replied. “We recommend that there should now be an oath between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you
29 Ahi theile ki hou cham na inei thei ding'u dei aum lheh e, keima hon jong nangho chunga imacha bolse pou ving'e, kei hon nang ho ka ngailu jing uve. Chule lung damsel a kasol doh joh nahiuve. Ven! tun nangho Pathen in nasatah in phatthei naboh tauve.
that you will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only good to you, sending you on your way in peace. And now you are blessed by the LORD.”
30 Hichun Isaac in kinopto na ankong nehkhom na asem in amahon abonchauvin anekhom un adonkhom un ahi.
So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31 Ajing in jingpi matah in akithou’ un amaho khat khat in kitepna anei uvin, hichun Isaac in amaho chu a in lam uva asolkit tan, amaho jong lunglhai sel in akinung le tauve.
And they got up early the next morning and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.
32 Hiche ni ma ma chun Isaac sohten twisam thah khat alai doh'u chu thu ahung peuvin amahon aseiyun, “Keihon twisam thah khat kamu uve,” ahung tiuve.
On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.
33 Hichun Isaac in twisam thah chu Shebath asah tai. (Shebath tichu kinoptona tina ahi) Hiche nia patna chu tuni gei a hi Beershiba khopi kiti ahiye.
So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.
34 Esau chu kum som li alhin chun Hit mite numei Beeri Judith le Hit mi mama Elon chanu Basemath chu ji ding in akipui jin ahi.
When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 Amavang Esau ji teni chu Isaac le Rebekah din thoh lel aum lheh jeng lhon in ahi.
And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
