< 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.
Ie amy zao nikerè ty tane, nandimbe i hasalikoañe nifetsake tañandro’ i Avrahamey. Le noly mb’e Gerare mb’ amy Abimèleke nte-Pilisty mb’eo t’Ietsàke.
2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.
Ie amy zao, nisodehañe am’ Ietsàke t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe, Ko mitaveam-b’e Mitsraime añe; fa mitobea an-tane hatoroko azo.
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.
Mimo­neña an-tane atoy, le himbaeko vaho ho tahieko; amy te hatoloko azo naho amo tarira’o iabio o tane retoañe; le ho henefeko ty fanta nifantàko amy Avrahame rae’o.
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,
Hampiraeko amo vasian-dikerañeo o tarira’oo naho hatoloko amo tarira’oo o hene tane toañeo vaho amo tarira’oo ty hitahiañe ze hene foko an-tane atoy
5 because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
amy te nihaoñe’ i Avrahame ty feoko le nitambozore’e i namantohakoy, o fepèkoo, o fañekoo vaho o Fanoroakoo.
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
Aa le nitoetse e Gerare ao t’Ietsàke.
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.”
Ie nañontane i vali’ey ondati’ i rovaio, le hoe re, Rahavaveko toke, amy t’ie nihembañe tsy te hanao ty hoe, Valiko, fa natao’e te hañe-doza ama’e ondatio, ty amy hamontramontra’ i Ribkae.
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.
Ie tambatse ela ao t’Ietsàke le nitilihitse ami’ty lalan-kede t’i Abimeleke mpanjaka’ o nte-Pelistio: niisa’e te heheke nitsapa­tsapa i Ribkae vali’e t’Ietsàke.
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.”
Aa le nampikanjie’ i Abimeleke t’Ietsàke vaho nanoa’e ty hoe, Toe vali’o re! Ino ty nanoe’o ty hoe Rahavaveko? Hoe t’Ietsàke tama’e, Nataoko hera hikenkañe ty ama’e iraho.
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.”
Hoe ty Abimeleke, Inoñe arè ty nanoe’o ama’ay? Kera niolots’ amy vali’oy t’indaty le ho nañakeo anay irehe.
11 So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
Aa le hinatahata’ i Abimeleke ondati’e iabio ami’ty hoe, Toe havetrake ze mitsapa t’indaty toy ndra i vali’ey.
12 Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,
Nitongy amy taney t’Ietsàke le nanatake in-jato amy taoñey avao, amy te nitahie’ Iehovà,
13 and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.
vaho niha-mpañarivo indatiy le mbe nionjoñe avao ty firaoraoa’e ampara’ te nimpañaleale.
14 He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
Ie amam-pirai-lia naho mpirai-troke vaho tsiefa o pitoro’eo, le nikirañe aze o nte-Pilistio.
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.
Aa le finempe’ o nte-Pilistio naho linembeke tane o vovoñe hinali’ o mpitoron-drae’eo tañandro’ i Avrahameo.
16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”
Le hoe t’i Abimelek’ am’Ietsàke, Misi­taha, fa loho maozatse te ama’ay irehe.
17 So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
Aa le nienga boak’ao t’Ietsàke naho nitobe am-bavatane’ i Gerare vaho nitoetse eo;
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.
le sino­ka’ Ietsàke indraike o vovon-drano niha­li­eñe tañandro’ i Avrahame rae’eo, o linembe’ o nte-Pilisty iabio naho fa nihomake t’i Avrahame; vaho nitokave’e amo añarañe nitokavan-drae’e.
19 Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.
Le nihaly amy vavataney o mpitoro’ Ietsàkeo le nanjo vovoñe nigoangoan-drano.
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.
Fe nifandietse amo mpiara’ Ietsàkeo o mpiarake nte-Gerareo ami’ty hoe, Anay o ranoo, le natao’e ty hoe Eseke i vovoñey kanao nifandiera’ iereo.
21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
Nihaly vovoñe ­indraike iereo vaho nifanjomorañe ka, aa le nitokave’e Sitnà.
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.”
Ie niveve mb’eo le nihaly vovoñe indraike, f’ie tsy am-pifanoiñe, le natao’e ty hoe Rehobota ami’ty hoe, Fa nañivake ho anay t’Iehovà le hiraorao an-tane atoy.
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,
Boak’ ao re nionjoñe mb’e Beersevà mb’eo.
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.”
Le nisodehañe ama’e amy haleñey t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe, Izaho ro Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame rae’o; ko hemban-drehe fa ama’o Iraho le ho tahieko vaho hampitozantozañeko o tarira’oo ty amy Avrahame mpitorokoy.
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.
Aa le nandrafetse kitrely eo naho nikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà naho naore’e eo ty kiboho’e vaho nihaly vovoñe eo o mpitoro’ Ietsàkeo.
26 Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
Nomb’ ama’e mb’eo amy zao t’i Abi­mèleke boake Gerare, miharo amy Ako­zàte mpanolo-keve’e naho i Pikole, mpifehe o lahindefo’eo.
27 “Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”
Hoe t’Ietsak’ am’iereo, Inom-bao ty nomba’areo mb’ amako mb’etoa kanao malaiñe ahy, toe natao’ areo soike?
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
Hoe iereo, Trea’ay malange te ama’o t’Iehovà, le hoe zahay, Antao hifanitike, añivo’ay naho ihe, aa le iantofo te hifañina,
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.”
soa te ihe tsy hijoy anay, hambañe amy te zahay tsy nitsapa azo, fa tsy ino ty nanoe’ay naho tsy ty soa, naho nampañaveloe’ay am-panintsiñañe; toe tahie’ Iehovà irehe henaneo.
30 So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
Aa le nañalankaña’e sabadidake, le nikama naho ninoñe.
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.
Nitroatse marain-tsikiake iereo le nifañina am-panta, naho na­sese’ Ietsàke mb’eo vaho nienga aze an-kanintsiñe.
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.
Nitotsak’ ama’e amy àndroy ka ty mpitoro’ Iets­ake nita­lily i vovoñe hinali’ iereo anianiy, ty hoe, Nahatrea rano zahay!
33 So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.
Natao’e Sivà ty añara’e; aa le Beer-Sevà ty añara’ i rovay henaneo.
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.
Ie niefapolo taoñe t’i Esave, le nañenga Iehoditè ana’ i Bierý nte-Khete, naho i Basmàte ana’ i Elòne nte-Khete;
35 And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
f’ie nampioremeñe ty arofo’ Ietsàke naho i Ribkae.
