< 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.
Chuin gamsunga chun nasatah in kel ahung lhatan, hiche kel lhah chu Abraham damlaiya ahah tabang in, Isaac chu Gerar langa Philistine lengpa Abimelech heng a ache tai.
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,
Chuin Pathen in Isaac chu ahou limpin hitin aseiye, “Keima thusei ngaiyin, Egypt langa nache thei lou ding ahi.
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.
Chule nangma hiche gam a hin gampam kholyin mi bang in um'in keiman hatah a phatthei kaboh ding nahi. Chule gam jouse hi nangma le na chilhahte jouse kapeh ding nahi, Ajeh chu keiman napa Abraham komma kaki hahselna kamolso tei ding ahi.
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,
Keiman na chilhahte van chunga ahsite jat banga kapun sah ding, hiche gam ho jouse hi kapeh ding, chule nangma chilhahte a konna vannoi mi jouse phatthei kaboh ding ahi.
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”
Hiche ho jouse hi kabol ding ahi. Ajeh chu Abraham'in kathu angaiyin, kathu lhahna ahin, ka thupeh ahin, ka chondan thu ahin, chule ka danthu a nitsoh keiyin ahi.
6 And so Isaac remained in Gerar.
Hichun Isaac Gerar gamma acheng tan ahi.
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.
Hiche gamma cheng miho chun Isaac jinu Rebekah chu koi ham tia adoh ule aman adonbut in, “Kasopinu ahi ati peh e,” ajeh chu hiche miho hin Rebekah jeh hin, “Keima eitha lo get uvinte tia anagel jeh a ka sopinu ahi anati ahiye. Ajeh chu amanu amelhoi jeh ahi.”
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.
Hinlah ni phabep jou chun Abimelech Phalistines lengpan bangkot a kon agahven ahile vetan Isaac in Rebekah aji bol'a akinoupi pet amudoh tai.
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.”
Hichun gang tah in Abimelech in Isaac chu akouvin, “Amanu chu na jinu hilou ham? ibola amanu chu ka sopinu ahe tia nasei ham?” Isaac in adonbut in, “Ka seina ajeh chu ahile ka innneipi jeh a koi tabang khat in eitha lo ding ham kati ahi.”
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,
Abimelech in aseiye, “Ipi dinga hiti pia chu neibol'u hitam? ilou themkhat in ka mite lah a khat touvin na jinu chu ana kipui hen ana luppi kha ta hen lang hileh nangma jeh a kei hon chonset lentah a neilhah sah ding'u hita chula em.”
11 “Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”
Hichun Abimelech in danpi khat asem in mipi jouse henga aphong doh in ahi, “Koihi jong leh hiche mipa hihen ajinu hijong le ahin tongkha asuse aum leh thina chan a gotna kipe ding ahi.”
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
Hiche kum chun Isaac in muchi akitun ahile kum dang sang in ajat jakhat val jena tamjon aki-aat e, hiti chun Pakaiyin ama phatthei ana boh'e.
13 And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
Chua kon chun Isaac chu neile gou in ahung hao doh tan, anei le agou hatah in apun be cheh, apun be cheh jeng in ahi.
14 Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
Hitobang chun neile gou keu hilouvin kelngoi jong, keltah jong, bonghon jong chule soh le kol jong tamtah ahin neitan, hiche ho jeh hin Phalistine miten nasatah in ahung engse tauvin ahi.
15 so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
Hichun Phalistine miho chu athangthip jeh'un Isaac twikhuh jouse chu abonchan asuhbing peh tauvin ahi. Hiche twikhuh ho sese hi apa Abraham adamlaiya asohten ana laihou chu ahi.
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.”
Chuin Abimelech in achaina in Isaac komma aseiye, “Nangma keiho komma kon in chedoh tan ajeh chu nangma keiho sang in natha lhing jotai,” ati.
17 And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
Hichun Isaac chu amaho komma kon in achen Gerar phaicham ah amaho ponbuh akison uvin hiche mun achun aching tauve.
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.
Chuin Isaac in Apa Abraham thi jouva Palestine mipiten ana huhbing peh'u twikhuh ho sese chu alai hong kit'in apa Abraham'in ana minsah twikhuh min ho chu avel sah kit in asem hoisah kit tai.
19 And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.
Isaac sohten Gerar phaicham chu twikhuh alai uva ahile twisam phungkhat alai doh tauve.
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.’
Ahin Gerar gamma kelngoi chinghon Isaac kelngoi chingho komma chun “hiche twikhuh hi keiho twikhuh ahi,” atiuvin a kinelpi tauvin ahi; hichun Isaac in hiche twikhuh chu “Esek” asah'in hichun avetsah chu “Kiboina mun,” tina ahi.
21 Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’
Hichun Isaac sohten twikhuh chom dang khat alai kit'un ahile hiche mun jong chu boina ahung um kittan hichun Isaac in “Sitnah” (Tichu kitomona mun tina ahi) asah tan ahi.
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.”
Chuin Isaac in hiche mun chu adalhan akichon in twikhuh chom beh khat alai kit in ahile hiche mun a vang chun akinahpi tapouvin ahi, hijeh chun Isaac in hiche mun chu “Rehoboth” asah tai. “Ajeh chu tun vang Pathen in eiho ding in gam eihon peh tauve, agamsung ahin eiho cha le nao vin pungjal tauhite,” ati.
23 Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
Hiche mun a pat chun Isaac in Beersheba ah akichon kittai.
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.”
Hiche jan lele chun Isaac henga Pathen ahung kilah in “Keima napa Abraham Pathen chu kahi, Imacha gichat na nei hih behin ajeh chu keiman nangma ka umpi jing nai, chule phatthei ka boh ding nahi, nason nachilhah te jong hatah a ka punsah ding amaho nam lentah ka soding ahi. Hiche hohi kasuh bulhing ding ahi. Ajeh chu ka sohpa Abraham koma kana kitep nasa ahi.”
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.
Hichun Isaac in hiche mun achun maicham asem in Pathen ahou tai, chule aman aponbuh jong asongdoh kit in asohten twikhuh khat alaikit un ahi.
26 When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,
Ni khat chu Abimelech jong Gerar gamma pat na semangpa Ahuzzath chule asepai lamkai Phicol akipuiyin Isaac to kimuto dingin ahungtai.
27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among you?”
Isaac in amaho chu adong in, “Ipi dinga ka henga hung nahiuven nei vetda uva nagam uva patna neino doh hitalou ham?” ana ti.
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,
Ama hon adon but'un, “Keihon Pathen in nangma na umpi hi phatechan kamu chen tauve. Hijeh chun nangho le keiho kikah a kihou cham ding kanom ui, chule ikah uva kitepna khat sem kanom uve.
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.”
Ahi theile ki hou cham na inei thei ding'u dei aum lheh e, keima hon jong nangho chunga imacha bolse pou ving'e, kei hon nang ho ka ngailu jing uve. Chule lung damsel a kasol doh joh nahiuve. Ven! tun nangho Pathen in nasatah in phatthei naboh tauve.
30 Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the food and drink,
Hichun Isaac in kinopto na ankong nehkhom na asem in amahon abonchauvin anekhom un adonkhom un ahi.
31 arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.
Ajing in jingpi matah in akithou’ un amaho khat khat in kitepna anei uvin, hichun Isaac in amaho chu a in lam uva asolkit tan, amaho jong lunglhai sel in akinung le tauve.
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.”
Hiche ni ma ma chun Isaac sohten twisam thah khat alai doh'u chu thu ahung peuvin amahon aseiyun, “Keihon twisam thah khat kamu uve,” ahung tiuve.
33 Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present day.
Hichun Isaac in twisam thah chu Shebath asah tai. (Shebath tichu kinoptona tina ahi) Hiche nia patna chu tuni gei a hi Beershiba khopi kiti ahiye.
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 chu kum som li alhin chun Hit mite numei Beeri Judith le Hit mi mama Elon chanu Basemath chu ji ding in akipui jin ahi.
35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.
Amavang Esau ji teni chu Isaac le Rebekah din thoh lel aum lheh jeng lhon in ahi.
