Genesis 26
1 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.
Nʼoge a, ụnwụ dara nʼala ahụ. Ụnwụ a dị iche nʼụnwụ mbụ nke dara nʼoge Ebraham dị ndụ. Aịzik jekwuru Abimelek eze ndị Filistia nʼobodo Gera.
2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.
Onyenwe anyị gosiri Aịzik onwe ya, sị, “Agakwala Ijipt; biri nʼala ahụ m sị gị biri nʼime ya.
3 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.
Nọrọ nʼala a nwa oge nta, aga m anọnyere gị ma gọziekwa gị, nʼihi na gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ka m ga-enye ala ndị a niile. Aga m emezukwa iyi ahụ m ṅụrụ nye Ebraham nna gị.
4 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,
Aga m eme ka ụmụ ụmụ gị mụbaa, mee ka ha hie nne nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka kpakpando dị na mbara eluigwe. Ha ka m ga-enye ala ndị a niile. Aga m esite na mkpụrụ gị gọzie mba niile nke ụwa.
5 because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
Ihe ndị a niile ka m ga-eme nʼihi na Ebraham rubere isi ime ihe m gwara ya, na idebe iwu m na ụkpụrụ m, na ịdọ aka na ntị m.”
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
Ya mere, Aịzik nọgidere nʼobodo Gera.
7 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.”
Mgbe ndị obodo ahụ jụrụ ya banyere nwunye ya, ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ bụ nwanne m nwanyị.” Ọ tụrụ ụjọ ị sị ha, “Nwunye m ka ọ bụ,” O chere nʼobi ya sị, “Ndị ikom obodo a nwere ike gbuo m nʼihi Ribeka. Nʼihi na Ribeka nʼonwe ya mara mma ile anya.”
8 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.
Mgbe Aịzik nọrọ ebe ahụ ogologo oge, Abimelek eze ndị Filistia, sitere na oghereikuku ya lepụ anya hụ Aịzik ka ọ nọ na-egwusa Ribeka nwunye ya egwu.
9 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.”
Ya mere, Abimelek kpọrọ Aịzik sị, “Nwunye gị ka ọ bụ nʼezie. Gịnị mere i ji gwa anyị na ọ bụ nwanne gị nwanyị?” Aịzik zara ya, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na m chere na-enwere ike igbu m nʼihi ya.”
10 “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.”
Abimelek sịrị, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere anyị? Otu nwoke nʼetiti anyị gaara akpọrọ nwunye gị dinaa ya. Ị gaara esi otu a wetara anyị ikpe ọmụma.”
11 So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
Ya mere, Abimelek nyere ndị niile ya iwu, sị ha, “Onye ọbụla metụrụ nwoke a maọbụ nwunye ya aka, aghaghị ime ka ọ nwụọ.”
12 Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,
Aịzik kụrụ mkpụrụ ubi nʼala ahụ. Nʼotu afọ ahụ kwa, o si nʼala ahụ webata ihe ubi narị okpukpu karịa nke ọ kụrụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị gọziri ya.
13 and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.
Nwoke a bara ụba, ghọọ ọgaranya. Akụnụba ya gara nʼihu na-amụba, tutu ruo mgbe ọ ghọrọ nnọọ onye ọgaranya a ma ama.
14 He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
O nwere ọtụtụ igwe anụ ụlọ, na igwe ehi, na ndị ikom na-ejere ya ozi. Nʼihi ihe ndị a, ndị Filistia bidoro inwe anya ukwu megide ya.
15 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.
Ndị Filistia wụjuru aja nʼolulu mmiri ndị ahụ niile ndị na-ejere nna ya ozi gwuru nʼoge nna ya Ebraham dị ndụ.
16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”
Abimelek kpọrọ Aịzik sị ya, “Si nʼala a kwapụ gaa nʼebe ọzọ, nʼihi na ịba ụba gị na ịdị ike gị adịla ukwuu karịa nke anyị.”
17 So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
Ya mere Aịzik si nʼebe ahụ kwapụ, gaa maa ụlọ ikwu ya na Ndagwurugwu Gera, biri nʼebe ahụ.
18 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.
O gwugharịkwara olulu mmiri ndị ahụ e gwuru nʼoge nna ya Ebraham, nke ndị Filistia kpojuru aja mgbe Ebraham nwụrụ, kpọọ olulu mmiri ndị a otu aha ahụ nna ya kpọrọ ha na mbụ.
19 Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.
Ọzọ, ndị na-ejere Aịzik ozi gwuru olulu mmiri ọhụrụ na ndagwurugwu Gera ahụ, gwute mmiri nke si nʼala na-asọpụta.
20 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.
Ma ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ obodo Gera sesịrị ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ Aịzik okwu. Ha kwuru sị, “Mmiri a bụ nke anyị!” Nke a mere Aịzik ji kpọọ olulu mmiri ahụ Esek, nʼihi ise okwu nke ha sesịrị ya.
21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
Ha gwuru olulu mmiri ọzọ, ma ndị ahụ bịakwara ọzọ bido ịzọ ya. Nʼihi ya Aịzik kpọrọ olulu mmiri ahụ Sitna.
22 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.”
O si nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa nʼebe ọzọ gwuo olulu mmiri ọzọ. Ma o nweghị ndị bịara zọọ ya. Nʼihi ya ọ kpọrọ olulu mmiri ahụ Rehobọt. O kwuru sị, “Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị enyela anyị ebe sara mbara, ebe ihe ga-anọ gaara anyị nke ọma.”
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,
O sitere nʼebe ahụ kwapụ gaa Bịasheba.
24 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.”
Nʼabalị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọ hụ ya anya, sị ya, “Abụ m Chineke nna gị Ebraham. Atụla egwu, nʼihi na anọnyere m gị, aga m agọzi gị, mụbaa ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ ụmụ gị nʼihi ohu m Ebraham.”
25 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.
Ya mere, o wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe ahụ kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị. Ọ makwara ụlọ ikwu ya nʼebe ahụ. Ndị na-ejere ya ozi gwukwara olulu mmiri.
26 Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
Abimelek na Ahuzat, onye ndụmọdụ ya, na Fikọl onyeisi ndị agha ya sitere Gera jekwuru Aịzik.
27 “Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”
Aịzik jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji bịakwute m, ebe ọ bụ na unu kpọrọ m asị, chụpụkwa m site nʼetiti unu?”
28 “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
Ha sị, “Anyị hụrụ nke ọma na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere gị, ya mere anyị ji sị, ‘O kwesiri ka ịṅụ iyi dị nʼetiti anyị na gị,’ ka anyị na gị gbaakwa ndụ
29 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.”
na ị gaghị eme anyị ihe ọjọọ dịka anyị na-esighị mee gị ihe ọjọọ. I lezie anya nke ọma, ị ga-ahụ na anyị meere gị ihe ọma mgbe anyị hapụrụ gị ka ị laa nʼudo. Ugbu a, anyị maara na ị bụ onye Onyenwe anyị gọziri agọzi.”
30 So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
Aịzik meere ha mmemme nri dị ukwuu; ha riri, ṅụọkwa.
31 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.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ndị ikom ahụ niile ṅụrịtaara onwe ha iyi ịgba ndụ. Aịzik zilagara ha, ha hapụrụ ya laa nʼudo.
32 On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.
Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ kwa, ndị ohu Aịzik bịakwutere ya gwa ya banyere olulu mmiri ha na-egwu, sị ya, “Anyị achọtala mmiri nʼolulu ahụ anyị na-egwu.”
33 So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.
Ọ kpọrọ ya Shiba. Ọ bụkwa nke a mere e ji akpọ obodo ahụ Bịasheba ruo taa.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Mgbe Ịsọ gbara iri afọ anọ, ọ lụrụ Judit nwa Beiri, onye Het. Ọ lụkwara Basemat nwa Elọn, onye Het.
35 And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
Ha ghọrọ Aịzik na Ribeka ihe ọnọdụ obi ilu.
