< Genesis 26 >

1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.
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 And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell you of.
Onyenwe anyị gosiri Aịzik onwe ya, sị, “Agakwala Ijipt; biri nʼala ahụ m sị gị biri nʼime ya.
3 And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam.
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 And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed.
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 Abraam your father listened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.
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 And Isaac lived in Gerara.
Ya mere, Aịzik nọgidere nʼobodo Gera.
7 And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should kill him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.
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 And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.
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 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then your wife? why have you said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.
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 And Abimelech said to him, Why have you done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with your wife, and you would have brought [a sin of] ignorance 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 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable 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 And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, 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 the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
Nwoke a bara ụba, ghọọ ọgaranya. Akụnụba ya gara nʼihu na-amụba, tutu ruo mgbe ọ ghọrọ nnọọ onye ọgaranya a ma ama.
14 And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines 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 And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.
Ndị Filistia wụjuru aja nʼolulu mmiri ndị ahụ niile ndị na-ejere nna ya ozi gwuru nʼoge nna ya Ebraham dị ndụ.
16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for you are become much mightier than we.
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 And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and lived there.
Ya mere Aịzik si nʼebe ahụ kwapụ, gaa maa ụlọ ikwu ya na Ndagwurugwu Gera, biri nʼebe ahụ.
18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named 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 And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.
Ọzọ, ndị na-ejere Aịzik ozi gwuru olulu mmiri ọhụrụ na ndagwurugwu Gera ahụ, gwute mmiri nke si nʼala na-asọpụta.
20 And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured 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 And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.
Ha gwuru olulu mmiri ọzọ, ma ndị ahụ bịakwara ọzọ bido ịzọ ya. Nʼihi ya Aịzik kpọrọ olulu mmiri ahụ Sitna.
22 And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.
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 And he went up thence to the well of the oath.
O sitere nʼebe ahụ kwapụ gaa Bịasheba.
24 And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam your father; fear not, for I am with you, and I will bless you, and multiply your seed for the sake of Abraam your father.
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 And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.
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 And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.
Abimelek na Ahuzat, onye ndụmọdụ ya, na Fikọl onyeisi ndị agha ya sitere Gera jekwuru Aịzik.
27 And Isaac said to them, Therefore have you come to me? whereas you hated me, and sent me away from you.
Aịzik jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji bịakwute m, ebe ọ bụ na unu kpọrọ m asị, chụpụkwa m site nʼetiti unu?”
28 And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with you, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and we will 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 shall do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred you, and according as we have treated you well, and have sent you forth peaceably; and now you are blessed of 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 And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
Aịzik meere ha mmemme nri dị ukwuu; ha riri, ṅụọkwa.
31 And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ndị ikom ahụ niile ṅụrịtaara onwe ha iyi ịgba ndụ. Aịzik zilagara ha, ha hapụrụ ya laa nʼudo.
32 And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.
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 And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.
Ọ kpọrọ ya Shiba. Ọ bụkwa nke a mere e ji akpọ obodo ahụ Bịasheba ruo taa.
34 And Esau was forty years old; and he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.
Mgbe Ịsọ gbara iri afọ anọ, ọ lụrụ Judit nwa Beiri, onye Het. Ọ lụkwara Basemat nwa Elọn, onye Het.
35 And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
Ha ghọrọ Aịzik na Ribeka ihe ọnọdụ obi ilu.
