Genesis 26
1 There was a famine in the land, in addition to the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Na ka matekai te whenua, haunga te matekai tuatahi i puta mai i nga ra o Aperahama. A ka haere a Ihaka ki a Apimereke, kingi o nga Pirihitini, ki Kerara.
2 The LORD appeared to him, and said, “Do not go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
Na ka puta mai a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea, Kaua e haere ki raro, ki Ihipa; e noho ki te whenua e korero ai ahau ki a koe:
3 Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
E noho i tenei whenua, a ka tata ahau ki a koe, ka manaaki hoki i a koe; ka hoatu nei hoki e ahau enei whenua katoa ki a koutou ko ou uri, a ka whakapumautia te oati i oati ai ahau ki a Aperahama, ki tou papa;
4 I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
A ka whakanuia e ahau ou uri kia pera me nga whetu o te rangi, ka hoatu hoki e ahau enei whenua katoa ki ou uri; a ma tou uri ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua;
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
No te mea i rongo a Aperahama ki toku reo, i mau ki aku ako, ki aku whakahau, ki aku tikanga, ki aku ture.
6 Isaac lived in Gerar.
Na ka noho a Ihaka i Kerara:
7 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.”
A ka ui nga tangata o taua wahi ki tana wahine; a ka mea ia, Ko toku tuahine ia: i wehi hoki ia, te mea ai, Ko taku wahine; i mea hoki, Kei patua ahau e nga tangata o tenei wahi mo Ripeka; he ataahua hoki ia ki te titiro atu.
8 When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
A ka maha ona ra ki reira, ka titiro atu a Apimereke, kingi o nga Pirihitini, i te matapihi, a ka kite, na, ko Ihaka e takaro ana ki a Ripeka, ki tana wahine.
9 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die because of her.’”
Na ka karangatia e Apimereke a Ihaka, ka mea atu, Koia ano, ko tau wahine tonu ia: na te aha koe i mea ia, Ko taku tuahine ia? Ka mea a Ihaka ki a ia, I mea hoki ahau, Kei mate ahau mona.
10 Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!”
Na ka mea a Apimereke, He aha tenei mahi au ki a matou? wahi iti kua takoto tetahi o te iwi nei ki tau wahine, a kua takina mai e koe he hara ki runga ki a matou.
11 Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
Na ka whakatupato a Apimereke ki tona iwi katoa, ka mea, Ko te tangata e pa ki tenei tangata, ki tana wahine ranei, he pono ka mate ia.
12 Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. The LORD blessed him.
A i rui a Ihaka ki taua whenua, a maea ake i taua tau ano kotahi rau: i manaakitia hoki ia e Ihowa:
13 The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
Na ka kake taua tangata, ka tino nui haere, no ka nui noa ake ia:
14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
A ka whiwhi ia i nga kahui hipi, i nga kahui kau, i te tini o te pononga: a ka hae nga Pirihitini ki a ia.
15 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.
Na ko nga poka katoa i keria e nga pononga a tona papa i nga ra o Aperahama, o tona papa, i tanumia era e nga Pirihitini, i whakakiia hoki ki te oneone.
16 Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
Na ka mea a Apimereke ki a Ihaka, Haere atu i roto i a matou; he kaha rawa hoki koe i a matou.
17 Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
Na haere atu ana a Ihaka i reira, a whakaturia ana tona puni ki te awaawa o Kerara, a noho ana i reira.
18 Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Na ka keria ano e Ihaka nga poka wai i keria ra i nga ra o Aperahama, o tona papa; i tanumia hoki e nga Pirihitini i muri i te matenga o Aperahama: a huaina ana e ia hei ingoa mo aua poka ko nga ingoa i huaina iho e tona papa.
19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
Na ka keri nga pononga a Ihaka ki te awaawa, a ka kitea e ratou i reira he puna manawa whenua.
20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
Na ka tautohe nga hepara o Kerara ki nga hepara a Ihaka, ka mea, Na matou tenei wai: a huaina ana e ia te ingoa o te poka ko Eheke; mo ratou hoki i whakatetete ki a ia.
21 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. So he called its name Sitnah.
Na ka keri ratou i tetahi atu poka, ka tautohetia ano tera e ratou: a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Hitina.
22 He left that place, and dug another well. They did not argue over that one. So he called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
Na ka neke atu ia i reira, a ka keri i tetahi atu poka; kihai tera i tautohetia e ratou: na ka huaina e ia tona ingoa ko Rehopoto; i mea hoki ia, Katahi nei hoki a Ihowa ka whakawatea i tetahi nohoanga mo tatou, a ka hua tatou ki runga ki te whe nua.
23 He went up from there to Beersheba.
Na ka haere atu ia i reira ki runga, ki Peerehepa.
24 The LORD 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 offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.”
A ka puta mai a Ihowa ki a ia i taua po ano, ka mea, Ko ahau te Atua o Aperahama, o tou papa: kaua e wehi, kei a koe nei hoki ahau, a ka manaaki ahau i a koe, ka whakanui hoki i ou uri, he whakaaro ki a Aperahama, ki taku pononga.
25 He built an altar there, and called on the LORD’s name, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac’s servants dug a well.
Na ka hanga e ia he aata ki reira, a ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa, a whakaturia ana hoki e ia tona teneti ki reira: a ka keria tetahi poka ki reira e nga pononga a Ihaka.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.
Na ka haere mai a Apimereke i Kerara ki a ia, ratou ko Ahutata ko tetahi o ona hoa, ko Pikora hoki, ko te rangatira o tana ope.
27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?”
A ka mea a Ihaka ki a ratou, I haere mai koutou ki ahau ki te aha, ina hoki kua kino koutou ki ahau, kua pei hoki i ahau i roto i a koutou?
28 They said, “We saw plainly that the LORD was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let’s make a covenant with you,
A ka mea ratou, I kite marama matou, kei a koe a Ihowa: koia matou i mea ai, Kia takoto aianei he oati ki waenganui i a tatou, ki waenganui o matou, ou, kia whakarite kawenata hoki matou ki a koe;
29 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 the LORD.”
Kia kaua koe e tukino i a matou, kia penei me matou kihai nei i pa ki a koe, kihai hoki i aha ki a koe, heoi ko te pai anake, i ata tuku ano i a koe: inaianei ko koe te manaakitanga a Ihowa.
30 He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Na ka tukua e ia he hakari ma ratou, a ka kai ratou, ka inu.
31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to one another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, ka oati ratou tetahi ki tetahi: a tukua ana ratou e Ihaka kia haere, a hoki marie atu ana ratou i a ia.
32 The same day, Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.”
A i taua rangi ano ka haere mai nga pononga a Ihaka, ka korero ki a ia i te poka i keria e ratou, a ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e matou he wai.
33 He called it “Shibah”. Therefore the name of the city is “Beersheba” to this day.
A huaina iho e ia taua poka ko Hepaha: no kona te ingoa o tena pa, o Peerehepa, a mohoa noa nei.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
A, ka wha tekau nga tau o Ehau, ka tango ia i a Iuriti tamahine a Peeri Hiti, hei wahine mana, rauako Pahemata tamahine a Erona Hiti:
35 They grieved Isaac’s and Rebekah’s spirits.
A ka waiho raua hei mea pouri ki nga ngakau o Ihaka raua ko Ripeka.
