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.
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.
2 Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ni Isaka kendo owachone niya, “Kik idhi Misri; to dag mana e piny kama abiro nyisi.
And God appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
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 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.
4 Anami nyikwayi bed mangʼeny ka sulwe mae polo kendo abiro miyogi pinyni duto, kendo kokadho kuom nyikwayi, ogendini duto mag pinyni nogwedhi.
I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the sky, and will give to your descendants all these lands, and by your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed,
5 Anagwedhgi kamano nikech Ibrahim noluora kendo norito dwarona, chikena, buchena kod wechena.”
because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
6 Kuom mano Isaka nomedo dak Gerar.
So Isaac settled 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.”
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 Kane Isaka osedak kuno kuom kinde mangʼeny, Abimelek ruodh jo-Filistia nongʼicho gie dirisa moneno ka Isaka gi Rebeka chiege jotugo.
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 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.”
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 Eka Abimelek nowacho niya, “Ma en angʼo ma itimonwa ni? Ka dipo ni ngʼatwa moro dine oseriwore gi chiegi, donge dikelonwa richo maduongʼ.”
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 Omiyo Abimelek nogolo chik ne ji duto niya, “Ngʼato angʼata ma omulo ngʼatni kata chiege to nyaka negi.”
Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."
12 Isaka nopidho cham e pinyno kendo Jehova Nyasaye nogwedhe e higano moyudo cham moloyo manochwoyo nyadi mia achiel.
Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. And God blessed him.
13 Isaka nomedo bedo gi mwandu ahinya kendo mwandune nomedore mobedo jamoko marahuma.
The man became wealthy, and prospered more and more until he became very wealthy.
14 Ne en kod pith mag jamni kod pith mag dhok kod jotich mangʼeny mi nyiego nomako jo-Filistia kode.
He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. 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 dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
16 Eka Abimelek nowacho ne Isaka niya, “Dar ia ira ka nikech in giteko moloyowa.”
Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."
17 Omiyo Isaka nodar kanyo modhi e Holo mar Gerar kendo nodak kanyo.
Isaac departed from there, camped in the valley of Gerar, and lived 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.
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.
19 Jotich Isaka nokunyo holo kendo negiyudo soko man-gi pi machwer maliw.
Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing 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
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 Eka jotich Isaka nokunyo soko moro kendo, to ne gilarore kuom mano bende; kuom mano nochake ni Sitna (tiende ni sadha).
They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name 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.”
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."
23 Noa kuno modhi nyaka Bersheba,
He went up from there to Beersheba.
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 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 Isaka nogero kendo mar misango kuno kendo noluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye. Nogero hembe kanyo mi jotichne nokunyo soko moro kanyo.
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.
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 commander of his army.
27 Isaka nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ubiro ira to ne ok udwara mi uriemba?”
Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you 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
They said, "We saw plainly that God was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,
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 you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.' You are now the blessed of God."
30 Kuom mano Isaka nolosonegi nyasi mi gichiemo kendo gimetho.
He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31 Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich negisingore ka gikwongʼore ngʼato gi ngʼato. Eka Isaka nogonyogi ma gidhi gi kwe.
They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to each other. 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!”
It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."
33 Noluongo kanyo ni Shiba (tiende ni kar singruok) nyaka chil kawuono dalano osebed kiluongo ni Bersheba.
He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
34 Kane Esau ja-higni piero angʼwen, nokendo Judith nyar Beeri ma ja-Hiti, kod Basemath nyar Elon ma ja-Hiti.
When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hethite.
35 Mon-go nomiyo Isaka kod Rebeka chuny lit.
They brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
