Genesis 26
1 Then, when a famine arose over the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, in Gerar.
Abraham tue vaengkah aka om khokha lamhma bangla khohmuen ah khokha hlawt a om dongah Gerar kah Philisti manghai Abimelek taengla Isaak cet.
2 And the Lord appeared to him, and he said: “Do not descend into Egypt, but rest in the land that I will tell you,
Te vaengah anih taengah BOEIPA phoe tih, “Egypt la cet boeh. Nang taengah kan thui khohmuen ah rhaehrhong mai.
3 and sojourn in it, and I will be with you, and I will bless you. For to you and to your offspring I will give all these regions, completing the oath that I promised to Abraham your father.
Hekah kho ah na bakuep cakhaw, 'Hekah khohmuen pum he nang neh nang kah tiingan taengah ka paek ni, ' tila na pa Abraham taengah ka toemngam sut olhlo te ka thoh ham coeng dongah nang taengah ka om vetih nang yoethen kan paek ni.
4 And I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And I will give to your posterity all these regions. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
Na tiingan khaw vaan aisi bangla ka pungtai sak vetih na tiingan taengah hekah khohmuen boeih ka paek vaengah nang kah tiingan rhang neh diklai namtom boeih a yoethen uh ni.
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”
Te dongah ni Abraham loh ka ol a hnatun tih ka kueknah, ka olpaek, ka khosing neh ka olkhueng te a ngaithuen,” a ti nah.
6 And so Isaac remained in Gerar.
Isaak loh Gerar ah kho a sak.
7 And when he was questioned by the men of that place about his wife, he answered, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to confess her to be his mate, thinking that perhaps they would put him to death because of her beauty.
Te vaengah te hmuen kah hlang loh a yuu kawng a dawt uh. Te vaengah, “Rebekah he a mueimae then tih anih kongah te hmuen kah hlang rhoek loh kai n'ngawn uh ve,” a ti. “Ka yuu ni,” ti ham a rhih tih, “Ka ngannu ni,” a ti nah.
8 And when very many days had passed, and he had remained in the same place, Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, gazing through a window, saw him being playful with Rebekah, his wife.
Teah te kum a sen a om phoeiah Philisti manghai Abimelek loh bangbuet lamkah a dan hatah Isaak loh a yuu Rebekah a law te lawt a hmuh.
9 And summoning him, he said: “It is clear that she is your wife. Why did you falsely claim her to be your sister?” He answered, “I was afraid, lest I might die because of her.”
Te dongah Abimelek loh Isaak te a khue tih, “Anih he na yuu taktak a? Tedae bahamlae, 'Anih he ka ngannu ni, ' na ti,” a ti nah. Te dongah Isaak loh, “Anih kongah ka duek ve,” ka ti dongah ni,” a ti nah.
10 And Abimelech said: “Why have you burdened us? Someone from the people could have lain with your wife, and you would have brought a great sin upon us.” And he instructed all the people, saying,
Te dongah Abimelek loh, “Kaimih taengah balae na saii he? Pilnam khuikah pakhat loh na yuu taengah yalh koinih kaimih soah tholhnah nan pup hloe mai,” a ti nah.
11 “Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”
Te dongah Abimelek loh pilnam boeih te a uen tih, “Hekah hlang neh a yuu te aka ben tah duek rhoe duek saeh,” a ti nah.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
Isaak loh khohmuen a tawn tih BOEIPA loh yoethen a paek dongah amah kum ah a pueh yakhat a dang.
13 And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
Tekah hlang khaw pantai tih thoeih la thoeih coeng. Te dongah a khawk nah hil boeilen tih rhoeng.
14 Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
Te vaengah anih kah tuping boiva neh saelhung boiva khaw, imkhut khaw muep a khueh. Te dongah Philisti rhoek te anih taengah thatlai uh.
15 so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
Te dongah a napa Abraham tue vaengah a napa kah sal rhoek loh a too uh tuito boeih te Philisti rhoek loh a toeng sak uh tih laipi neh a et pauh.
16 It reached a point where Abimelech himself said to Isaac, “Move away from us, for you have become very much more powerful than we.”
Te dongah Abimelek loh Isaak te, “Nang he kaimih lakah bahoeng na tahoeng dongah kaimih taeng lamloh nong laeh,” a ti nah.
17 And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
Isaak loh te lamkah nong phoeiah Gerar soklong ah rhaeh tih pahoi kho a sak.
18 Again, he dug up other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had dug, and which, after his death, the Philistines had formerly obstructed. And he called them by the same names that his father had called them before.
Te vaengah a napa Abraham tue vaengah a too uh dae Abraham a duek phoeiah Philisti rhoek loh a toeng sak tuito tui te Isaak loh koep a too. Te dongah tuito ming te a napa kah ming sui phek la a sui.
19 And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.
Tedae Isaak kah sal rhoek loh soklong ah a too uh hatah hingnah tui tuito te a hmuh uh.
20 But in that place also the shepherds of Gerar argued against the shepherds of Isaac, by saying, “It is our water.” For this reason, he called the name of the well, because of what had happened, ‘Calumny.’
Tedae Gerar kah boiva aka dawn rhoek neh Isaak kah boiva aka dawn rhoek toh uh thae tih, “Kaimih kah tui ni,” a ti uh. Te dongah amih neh a tukvat uh thae vanbangla Esek tuito tila a ming a sui.
21 Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’
Te phoeiah tuito a tloe a too uh hatah te dongah khaw toh uh thae bal tih a ming te Sitnah a sui.
22 Advancing from there, he dug another well, over which they did not contend. And so he called its name, ‘Latitude,’ saying, “Now the Lord has expanded us and caused us to increase across the land.”
Te lamloh puen uh tih tuito a tloe a too vaengah toh uh thae voel pawh. Te dongah, “BOEIPA loh mamih ham hmuen han saelh tih khohmuen ah m'pungtai uh ni he,” a ti. Te phoeiah a ming te Rehoboth a sui.
23 Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
Te phoeiah te lamloh Beersheba la cet.
24 where the Lord appeared to him on the same night, saying: “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring because of my servant Abraham.”
Tedae tekah hlaem ah anih taengla BOEIPA phoe tih, “Kai he na pa Abraham kah Pathen ni. Nang taengah ka om tih ka sal Abraham kong ah nang yoethen kan paek phoeiah na tiingan te ka ping sak ham dongah rhih boeh,” a ti nah.
25 And so he built an altar there. And he invoked the name of the Lord, and he stretched out his tent. And he instructed his servants to dig a well.
Te dongah hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih BOEIPA ming te a phoei. Te phoeiah amah kah dap khaw pahoi a tuk tih Isaak kah sal rhoek loh tuito pahoi a vueh uh.
26 When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,
Te vaengah Gerar lamkah Abimelek neh amah kah baerhoep Ahuzzath khaw, amah kah caempuei mangpa Phikol te Isaak taengla halo uh.
27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among you?”
Te dongah Isaak loh amih te, “Nangmih loh kai nan hmuhuet uh tih na taeng lamkah kai na haek uh phoeiah kai taengla balae nan loh uh,” a ti nah.
28 And they responded: “We saw that the Lord is with you, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us initiate a pact,
Te vaengah amih loh, “BOEIPA tah nang taengah om tila ka hmuh rhoe ka hmuh uh coeng. Te dongah kaimih laklo ah khaw, kaimih laklo neh nang laklo ah olcaeng om saeh lamtah nang taengah moi bop sih ka ti uh.
29 so that you may not do us any kind of harm, just as we have touched nothing of yours, and have not caused any injury to you, but with peace we released you, augmented by the blessing of the Lord.”
Nang te kam ben uh pawt tih nang taengah a then bueng ni ka saii uh. Te dongah nang khaw sading la kan tueih uh. BOEIPA loh yoethen m'paek vanbangla kaimih taengah a thae na saii pawt mako,” a ti uh.
30 Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the food and drink,
Te dongah amih ham buhkoknah a saii tih a caak a ok uh.
31 arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.
Te phoeiah mincang ah thoo uh tih hlang khat neh khat te toemngam uh rhoi tih amih te a tueih phoeiah Isaak khaw ngaimong la voei.
32 Then, behold, on the same day the servants of Isaac came, reporting to him about a well which they had dug, and saying: “We have found water.”
Tedae tekah khohnin ah Isaak kah sal rhoek halo uh tih a taengah a too uh tuito kongmai kawng te puen uh. Te vaengah a taengah, “Tui ka hmuh uh coeng,” a ti nauh.
33 Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present day.
Te vaengah tekah hmuen te Sheba a sui dongah khopuei ming khaw tahae khohnin due Beersheba la om.
34 In truth, at forty years of age, Esau took wives: Judith, the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon, of the same place.
Esau khaw kum sawmli a lo ca vaengah a yuu te Khitti Beeri canu Judith neh Khitti Elon canu Basemath te a loh.
35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.
Te dongah Isaak neh Rebekah taengah mueihla khahingnah om.
