< 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.
Lao esa, hambu ndoe-laꞌas manaseliꞌ sia nusaꞌ naa, onaꞌ ndoe-laꞌas leleꞌ Abraham feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ. Dadꞌi Isak neu noꞌe isin sia Abimelek, atahori Filistin ra mane na, fo eni bisa leo sia Gerar.
2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.
Ana tao taꞌo naa, huu LAMATUALAIN natudꞌu Ao na neu e nae, “Afiꞌ muu sia Masir. Dei fo Au utudꞌu nggo mamana feaꞌ.
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.
Mete ma ho leo manumban sia mamanaꞌ naa, naa, Au o nggo, ma fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Au tao tititi-nonosi mara ramahefu, onaꞌ nduuꞌ sia lalai a. Au fee nggo mo tititi-nonosi mara mamanaꞌ ia no basa nusa nara. Mia tititi-nonosi mara, basa atahori raefafoꞌ a hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ. No naa, Au tao utetu hehelu-fufuli ngga o amam Abraham.
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,
5 because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
Au tao basa ia ra, huu amam tungga hihii Ngga, parenda Ngga, ma dala Ngga.”
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
De Isak leo manumban sia Gerar.
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.”
Ribka, meulau na seli. Dadꞌi atahori sia naa ra rita e ma, ara ratatane e. Te Isak nataa nae, “Ribka ia, au odꞌi ngga.” Ana namatau mete ma eni nataa nae sao na, neꞌo atahori ra tao risa e fo haꞌi rala Ribka.
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.
Isak leo dodꞌoo sia naa ena ma, lao esa maneꞌ a nakaloloik mia jendela, ma nita Isak holu ma idꞌu Ribka.
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.”
Boe ma ana denu atahori roꞌe Isak, de natane e nae, “Isak! Inaꞌ naa, sao ma! Saa de mae, ho odꞌim?” Isak nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia, amaꞌ! Au umutau mete ma ae eni, au sao ngga, afiꞌ losa atahori ra tao risa au.”
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.”
Maneꞌ a nataa nae, “Mete ma atahori sia ia sungguꞌ ro sao ma naa, ho fee salaꞌ neu hai! Taꞌo bee de ho tao taꞌo naa neu hai?”
11 So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
Basa ma, Abimelek fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu rauinggu nara nae, “Misinedꞌa malolole! Hei seka mimbirani ngganggu atahori ia, do sao na, naa, au hukun isa nggi.”
12 Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,
Leleꞌ naa, Isak sela-nggari sia nusaꞌ naa. Ana hambu baliꞌ buna-bꞌoa na lao natun esa, huu LAMATUALAIN fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.
13 and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.
Ana bau namasuꞌi, losa namasuꞌi raranggi.
14 He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
Sapi, bibꞌi, ma hiek nara, boe ramahefu. Ana mana tao ues nara o, hetar boe. De atahori Filistin ra rala nara mera mbali e.
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.
Maꞌahulu naa, Isak aman Abraham se ali oe mataꞌ naeꞌ. Te ia naa, atahori Filistin ra mbori raꞌateme oe mataꞌ ra no rae.
16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”
Boe ma mane Abimelek olaꞌ no Isak nae, “Isak! Malole lenaꞌ, ho lao hela nusaꞌ ia leo. Te koasa ma lenaꞌ hai ena.”
17 So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
Basa de, Isak lao hela naa, de neu leo baliꞌ sia lololoꞌ Gerar.
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.
Ana ali baliꞌ oe mataꞌ, fo ara tatanaꞌ ra. Ana babꞌae oe mataꞌ ra, tungga nara-naraꞌ fo ama na babꞌae nalaꞌ ra.
19 Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.
Isak ate nara ali oe mataꞌ sia lololoꞌ Gerar ma, ara ali dai oe a mata na, de nasapupuraꞌ dea neu.
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.
Te Gerar manatadꞌa nara rareresi ro Isak manatadꞌa nara, huu oe mataꞌ naa. Ara rae, “Ia hai oe ma!” Naa de, Isak babꞌae oe mataꞌ naa Esek, sosoa na ‘rareresi’.
21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
Basa ma, Isak atahori nara ali seluꞌ oe mataꞌ esa fai. Te ara rareresi fai, huu oe mataꞌ naa. Naa de, Isak babꞌae oe mataꞌ naa, Sitna, sosoa na ‘balabꞌan’.
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.”
Basa naa ma, ana lao hela mamanaꞌ naa, de ali seluꞌ oe mataꞌ feaꞌ fai. Ia ma, ara nda rareresi sa. Naa de Isak babꞌae oe mataꞌ naa, Rehobot, sosoa na ‘mamana loaꞌ’. Ana olaꞌ nae, “Ia naa, Lamatualain fee hita leo sia mamana loaꞌ. Sia ia dei de, hita feꞌe tamahefu naa.”
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,
Mia naa, Isak se lao fo reu leo sia Beer Syeba.
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.”
Tetembaꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN natudꞌu Ao na neu e, ma olaꞌ nae, “Isak! Au ia, ho ama ma Abraham Lamatualain na. Afiꞌ mumutau, te Au unea nggo. Au fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ. Ma tititi-nonosi mara boe ramahefu. Au tao taꞌo ia, huu hehelu-fufuli Ngga neu ama ma.”
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.
Basa ma Isak lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ sia naa, de noꞌe makasi neu LAMATUALAIN. Ana leo sia naa, ma atahori nara ali oe fai.
26 Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
Leleꞌ naa, mane Abimelek nema mia Gerar. Ana nema no nonoo na Ahusat, ma malangga netati na, Fikol, fo randaa ro Isak.
27 “Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”
Isak natane nae, “Ama maneꞌ! Feꞌesaꞌan, hei oi hendi hai ena. De ia naa, hei ima mae tao saa fai?”
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
Ara rataa rae, “Taꞌo ia! Ia naa hai bubꞌuluꞌ mae, Lamatualain nanea nggo. Huu naa, hai duꞌa-duꞌa, maloleꞌ lenaꞌ ruꞌa nggita tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ taꞌo ia: Ho sumba mae,
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.”
hei nda tao deꞌulakaꞌ mbali hai sa, onaꞌ hai o nda tao deꞌulakaꞌ mbali hei saꞌ boe. Memaꞌ hai rala mara maloleꞌ mo hei. Naa de, fai mana neuꞌ naa ra, hei lao mo mole-dame mia hai mbuku-kambo ma. Hai mihine tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ, LAMATUALAIN mana fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu hei.”
30 So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
Basa ma, Isak tao fefetas, de raa-rinu raꞌabꞌue reu esa.
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.
Mbila fefetu na ma, ara tao susumbaꞌ. Dei de Isak fee se baliꞌ no mole-dame.
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.
Faiꞌ naa, Isak atahori mana tao ues nara rema rafadꞌe rae oe mataꞌ fo sira aliꞌ a, hambu oeꞌ ena.”
33 So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.
De Isak babꞌae oe mataꞌ naa, Syeba, sosoa na ‘susumbaꞌ’. Ara babꞌae kamboꞌ naa Beer Syeba, losa faiꞌ ia.
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.
Esau too haa nulu ma, ana sao nala ana fetoꞌ rua mia leo Het. Esa, Beeri ana na, naran Yudit. Ma esa fai, Elon ana na, naran Basmat.
35 And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
Inaꞌ ka ruaꞌ naa ra, raꞌasususaꞌ Isak no Ribka rala nara.
