Kamtawngnae 26
1 Abraham a hring nathung vah ahmaloe e takangnae hloilah, Isak tueng nahai hote ram dawk takangnae a tho. Hatdawkvah, Isak teh Gerar kho Filistin siangpahrang Abimelek koevah a cei.
And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines to Gerara.
2 Ahni koevah, BAWIPA a kamnue teh Izip ram vah cet hanh. Kai ni na dei pouh hane ram dawk awmh.
And the Lord appeared to him and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.
3 Hete ram dawk awmh. Nang koe ka o vaiteh yawhawinae na poe han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Hete ram pueng heh nang hoi na catounnaw koe poe hoi na pa Abraham koevah lawk ka kam e patetlah ka sak han.
And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.
4 Kalvan e âsi yit touh na ca catounnaw ka pung sak vaiteh hete ram pueng heh na ca catounnaw koevah ka poe han. Hahoi, na ca catounnaw lahoi talai miphunnaw pueng yawhawinae lah ao awh han.
And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Abraham ni kaie lawk, kai ni dei e, kaie kâpoelawknaw, kaie phunglawknaw hoi kaie kâlawknaw hah a tarawi telah ati.
Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.
6 Hot patetlah Isak teh Gerar vah kho a sak.
So Isaac abode in Gerara.
7 Khocanaw ni a yu e kong a pacei teh ahni ni, ka tawncanu doeh telah atipouh. A meihawipoung dawkvah, ka yu doeh telah ka tetpawiteh hete khocanaw ni na thei han doeh telah ati dawk doeh.
And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty.
8 Hahoi, hote kho dawk moikasaw ao hnukkhu, Filistin siangpahrang Abimelek ni hlalangaw koehoi kho hah a radoung nah Isak ni a yu Rebekah hoi a pai roi e hah a hmu.
And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca his wife.
9 Abimelek ni Isak hah a kaw teh na yu roeroe doeh. Bangkongmaw ka tawncanu telah na ti thai, telah atipouh. Isak ni ahni kecu dawk due hane ka taki dawk doeh telah atipouh.
And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.
10 Abimelek ni kaimae lathueng vah bang hno maw na sak. Taminaw ni na yu heh a ikhai thai nahoehmaw. Hottelah kaimouh lathueng vah hnokahawi hoeh na pha sak thai nahoehmaw telah atipouh.
And Abimelech said: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying:
11 Abimelek ni apihai ama thoseh, a yu thoseh, ka tek e tami teh thei roeroe lah ao han telah a taminaw pueng koe kâ a poe.
He that shall touch this man’s wife, shall surely be put to death.
12 Isak ni hote ram dawk cang a patue teh BAWIPA ni hote kum dawk roeroe alet 100 touh yawhawinae a poe.
And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
13 Ahni teh hoehoe a bawi teh, lutlut bawi totouh a tawn, hnopai hoehoe a pungdaw pouh.
And the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great:
14 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tuhunaw hoi maitonaw hoi a sannaw moi a tawn. Hatdawkvah, Filistinnaw ni a ut awh.
And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying him,
15 A na pa Abraham a hring nah a sannaw ni a tai e tuikhunaw pueng hah Filistinnaw ni hno han pasoung hoeh dawkvah, talai koung a paten sin awh.
Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:
16 Abimelek ni Isak koevah, kaimouh koehoi tâcawt leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh kaimouh hlak vah hno na sak thai telah atipouh.
Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
17 Isak ni hote hmuen koehoi a tâco teh Gerar yawn dawk rim a sak teh haw vah kho a sak.
So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell there:
18 A na pa Abraham ni a hring nah a tai e tuikhunaw hah Isak ni bout a tai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Abraham a due hnukkhu vah Filistinnaw ni talai muen a paten awh. Hahoi, a na pa ni min a phung e patetlah min bout a phung.
And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called them.
19 Isak e sannaw ni hai hote yawn dawk tuikhu a tai awh teh hote hmuen koe tui a tâco e hah a hmu awh.
And they digged in the torrent, and found living water.
20 Hateiteh, Gerar e saring kakhoumnaw ni tui heh kaimae doeh telah Isak e saring kakhoumnaw hoi a kâounkhai awh. Ahnimouh hoi a kâoun awh dawkvah, tuikhu e min teh Esek telah ati awh.
But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.
21 Tuikhu alouke bout a tai teh hote haiyah lawp hanlah a kâounkhai awh dawkvah a min Sitnah telah ati awh.
And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.
22 Hote hmuen koehoi a kampuen awh teh alouke tuikhu hah bout a tai awh. Hote teh lawp hanlah kâcai awh hoeh toe. Atu teh BAWIPA ni hmuen kakawpoung na sak pouh dawkvah hete ram dawk canaw moikapap ka khe awh han toe telah ati awh teh a min lah Rehoboth telah ati awh.
Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.
23 Hote hmuen koehoi Beersheba lah a takhang awh.
And he went up from that place to Bersabee,
24 Hote tangmin dawkvah BAWIPA teh ahni koevah a kamnue teh kai teh na pa Abraham e Cathut doeh, taket hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh, nang koe ka o. Yawhawinae na poe vaiteh, ka san Abraham pawlawk hoi na ca catounnaw ka pungdaw sak han telah ati.
Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
25 Hote hmuen koe khoungroe hah a sak. BAWIPA min a kaw teh rim a sak. Hahoi, Isak e sannaw ni hote hmuen koe tuikhu hah a tai awh.
And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded his servants to dig a well.
26 Hatdawkvah, Gerar hoi Abimelek teh a hui Ahuzzath hoi a ransabawi Fikol hoi ahni koevah a tho awh.
To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,
27 Isak ni na hmuhma awh teh namamouh koehoi na pâlei hnukkhu, bangkongmaw kai koevah bout na tho awh telah atipouh.
Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you?
28 Ahnimouh ni nang koevah BAWIPA ao tie kamcengcalah ka panue awh. Patawnae poe hanlah ka tho awh hoeh. Hawinae hoi roumnae lahoi na ceisak e patetlah kaimouh pataw nahanlah banghai na sak hoeh nahanlah,
And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,
29 kaimouh rahak vah, nangmouh hoi kaimouh rahak roeroe dawkvah lawkkamnae awm naseh. Nang teh BAWIPA ni yawhawi a poe e tami doeh telah atipouh awh.
That thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing of the Lord.
30 Isak ni ahnimouh hanlah buvennae a sak pouh teh a canei awh.
And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:
31 Amom lah palang a tho awh teh buet touh hoi buet touh thoebo lawkkamnae a sak awh. Isak ni a ceisak teh ahni koehoi karoumcalah hoi a tâco awh.
Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.
32 Hote hnin dawkvah, Isak e sannaw hah a tho awh teh tuikhu a tai awh e kongnaw a dei pouh teh, tui ka hmu awh toe telah atipouh awh.
And behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water.
33 Hote tuikhu teh Sheba telah ati awh. Hatdawkvah, hote kho teh sahnin totouh Beersheba telah ati awh.
Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day.
34 Esaw teh a kum 40 touh a pha nah Hit tami Beeri canu Judith hoi Hit tami Elon e canu Basemath hah a yu lah a paluen.
And Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon of the same place.
35 Hotnaw teh Isak hoi Rebekah a lung ka pataw sakkungnaw doeh.
And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.
