Chakruok 26

1 Koro ne nitie kech maduongʼ e piny; bangʼ kech mokwongo mane obedo e ndalo Ibrahim kendo Isaka nodhi Gerar ir Abimelek ruodh jo-Filistia.

And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.

2 Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ni Isaka kendo owachone niya, “Kik idhi Misri; to dag mana e piny kama abiro nyisi.

And the LORD appeared unto him, and said: 'Go not down unto Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of.

3 Dag kae matin, kendo abiro bedo kodi mi agwedhi. Nimar in kod nyikwayi abiro miyou pinyni kendo nachop singruok mane atimo gi wuonu Ibrahim.

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father;

4 Anami nyikwayi bed mangʼeny ka sulwe mae polo kendo abiro miyogi pinyni duto, kendo kokadho kuom nyikwayi, ogendini duto mag pinyni nogwedhi.

and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and by thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves;

5 Anagwedhgi kamano nikech Ibrahim noluora kendo norito dwarona, chikena, buchena kod wechena.”

because that Abraham hearkened to My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.'

6 Kuom mano Isaka nomedo dak Gerar.

And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

7 Kane jo-Gerar openje kuom chiege, nowachonegi niya, “En nyamera, nikech noluoro wachonegi ni en chiega. Nowachonegi kamano nikech noparo ni jo-Gerar nyalo nege nikech Rebeka ne en dhako ma jaber.”

And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said: 'She is my sister'; for he feared to say: 'My wife'; 'lest the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she is fair to look upon.'

8 Kane Isaka osedak kuno kuom kinde mangʼeny, Abimelek ruodh jo-Filistia nongʼicho gie dirisa moneno ka Isaka gi Rebeka chiege jotugo.

And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.

9 Kuom mano Abimelek noluongo Isaka mopenje niya, “Kwerie ka dhakoni ok chiegi! Angʼo ma omiyo niwacho, ‘Ni en nyaminu’?” Isaka nodwoke niya, “Nikech ne aparo ni anyalo wito ngimana nikech en.”

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said: 'Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou: She is my sister?' And Isaac said unto him: 'Because I said: Lest I die because of her.'

10 Eka Abimelek nowacho niya, “Ma en angʼo ma itimonwa ni? Ka dipo ni ngʼatwa moro dine oseriwore gi chiegi, donge dikelonwa richo maduongʼ.”

And Abimelech said: 'What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might easily have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.'

11 Omiyo Abimelek nogolo chik ne ji duto niya, “Ngʼato angʼata ma omulo ngʼatni kata chiege to nyaka negi.”

And Abimelech charged all the people, saying: 'He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.'

12 Isaka nopidho cham e pinyno kendo Jehova Nyasaye nogwedhe e higano moyudo cham moloyo manochwoyo nyadi mia achiel.

And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.

13 Isaka nomedo bedo gi mwandu ahinya kendo mwandune nomedore mobedo jamoko marahuma.

And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great.

14 Ne en kod pith mag jamni kod pith mag dhok kod jotich mangʼeny mi nyiego nomako jo-Filistia kode.

And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household; and the Philistines envied him.

15 Omiyo jo-Filistia nodino sokni mane wasumbini Ibrahim wuon Isaka okunyo.

Now all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.

16 Eka Abimelek nowacho ne Isaka niya, “Dar ia ira ka nikech in giteko moloyowa.”

And Abimelech said unto Isaac: 'Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.'

17 Omiyo Isaka nodar kanyo modhi e Holo mar Gerar kendo nodak kanyo.

And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

18 Isaka nochako oyawo sokni mane osekuny e ndalo Ibrahim wuon mare, mane jo-Filistia odino bangʼ tho Ibrahim, kendo nochakogi nying mane oyudo wuon-gi Ibrahim osechakogi chon.

And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; 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.

19 Jotich Isaka nokunyo holo kendo negiyudo soko man-gi pi machwer maliw.

And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of living water.

20 To jokwath mag Gerar nolaro pig-no gi jokwadh Isaka kagiwacho niya, “Pigni en marwa.” Kuom mano Isaka nochako sokono ni Esek (tiende ni kar dhawo) nikech ne gilare kode

And the herdmen of Gerar strove with Isaac's herdmen, saying: 'The water is ours.' And he called the name of the well Esek; because they contended with him.

21 Eka jotich Isaka nokunyo soko moro kendo, to ne gilarore kuom mano bende; kuom mano nochake ni Sitna (tiende ni sadha).

And they digged another well, and they strove for that also. And he called the name of it Sitnah.

22 Nodar kanyo modhi kendo odhi okunyo soko machielo, kendo onge ngʼama nolaro kode. Nochake ni Rehoboth (tiende ni thuolo moromowa), kowacho niya, “Koro Jehova Nyasaye osemiyowa thuolo kendo wabiro medore e piny.”

And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not. And he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said: 'For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.'

23 Noa kuno modhi nyaka Bersheba,

And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.

24 Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne gotieno mowachone niya, “An e Nyasach wuonu Ibrahim. Kik iluor nikech an kodi; abiro gwedhi kendo abiro medo nyikwayi nikech singruok mane atimo gi Ibrahim jatichna.”

And the LORD appeared unto 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 Isaka nogero kendo mar misango kuno kendo noluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye. Nogero hembe kanyo mi jotichne nokunyo soko moro kanyo.

And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants digged a well.

26 Eka Abimelek nobiro ire koa Gerar, ka gin gi Ahuzath jangʼadne rieko kod Fikol ma jatend jolwenje.

Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host.

27 Isaka nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ubiro ira to ne ok udwara mi uriemba?”

And Isaac said unto them: 'Wherefore are ye come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?'

28 Negidwoke niya, “Koro wasefwenyo ratiro ni Jehova Nyasaye neni kodi, omiyo wadwaro mondo watim kodi winjruok kwakwongʼore. Yie watim winjruok kodi

And they said: 'We saw plainly that the LORD was with thee; and we said: Let there now be an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;

29 ni ok initimnwa marach mana kaka wan bende ne ok watimoni marach to ne wariti maber mi wagoli gi kwe mondo idhi. To koro Jehova Nyasaye osegwedhi.”

that thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace; thou art now the blessed of the LORD.'

30 Kuom mano Isaka nolosonegi nyasi mi gichiemo kendo gimetho.

And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.

31 Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich negisingore ka gikwongʼore ngʼato gi ngʼato. Eka Isaka nogonyogi ma gidhi gi kwe.

And they rose up betimes in the morning, and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

32 Chiengʼ onogo jotich Isaka nobiro ire monyise kuom soko mane gisekunyo. Negiwachone niya, “Waseyudo pi!”

And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him: 'We have found water.'

33 Noluongo kanyo ni Shiba (tiende ni kar singruok) nyaka chil kawuono dalano osebed kiluongo ni Bersheba.

And he called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.

34 Kane Esau ja-higni piero angʼwen, nokendo Judith nyar Beeri ma ja-Hiti, kod Basemath nyar Elon ma ja-Hiti.

And when Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35 Mon-go nomiyo Isaka kod Rebeka chuny lit.

And they were a bitterness of spirit unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
