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.
Koro ne nitie kech maduongʼ e piny; bangʼ kech mokwongo mane obedo e ndalo Ibrahim kendo Isaka nodhi Gerar ir Abimelek ruodh jo-Filistia.
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,
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ni Isaka kendo owachone niya, “Kik idhi Misri; to dag mana e piny kama abiro nyisi.
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.
Dag kae matin, kendo abiro bedo kodi mi agwedhi. Nimar in kod nyikwayi abiro miyou pinyni kendo nachop singruok mane atimo gi wuonu Ibrahim.
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,
Anami nyikwayi bed mangʼeny ka sulwe mae polo kendo abiro miyogi pinyni duto, kendo kokadho kuom nyikwayi, ogendini duto mag pinyni nogwedhi.
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”
Anagwedhgi kamano nikech Ibrahim noluora kendo norito dwarona, chikena, buchena kod wechena.”
6 And so Isaac remained in Gerar.
Kuom mano Isaka nomedo dak Gerar.
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.
Kane jo-Gerar openje kuom chiege, nowachonegi niya, “En nyamera, nikech noluoro wachonegi ni en chiega. Nowachonegi kamano nikech noparo ni jo-Gerar nyalo nege nikech Rebeka ne en dhako ma jaber.”
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.
Kane Isaka osedak kuno kuom kinde mangʼeny, Abimelek ruodh jo-Filistia nongʼicho gie dirisa moneno ka Isaka gi Rebeka chiege jotugo.
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.”
Kuom mano Abimelek noluongo Isaka mopenje niya, “Kwerie ka dhakoni ok chiegi! Angʼo ma omiyo niwacho, ‘Ni en nyaminu’?” Isaka nodwoke niya, “Nikech ne aparo ni anyalo wito ngimana nikech en.”
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,
Eka Abimelek nowacho niya, “Ma en angʼo ma itimonwa ni? Ka dipo ni ngʼatwa moro dine oseriwore gi chiegi, donge dikelonwa richo maduongʼ.”
11 “Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”
Omiyo Abimelek nogolo chik ne ji duto niya, “Ngʼato angʼata ma omulo ngʼatni kata chiege to nyaka negi.”
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
Isaka nopidho cham e pinyno kendo Jehova Nyasaye nogwedhe e higano moyudo cham moloyo manochwoyo nyadi mia achiel.
13 And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
Isaka nomedo bedo gi mwandu ahinya kendo mwandune nomedore mobedo jamoko marahuma.
14 Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
Ne en kod pith mag jamni kod pith mag dhok kod jotich mangʼeny mi nyiego nomako jo-Filistia kode.
15 so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
Omiyo jo-Filistia nodino sokni mane wasumbini Ibrahim wuon Isaka okunyo.
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.”
Eka Abimelek nowacho ne Isaka niya, “Dar ia ira ka nikech in giteko moloyowa.”
17 And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
Omiyo Isaka nodar kanyo modhi e Holo mar Gerar kendo nodak kanyo.
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.
Isaka nochako oyawo sokni mane osekuny e ndalo Ibrahim wuon mare, mane jo-Filistia odino bangʼ tho Ibrahim, kendo nochakogi nying mane oyudo wuon-gi Ibrahim osechakogi chon.
19 And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.
Jotich Isaka nokunyo holo kendo negiyudo soko man-gi pi machwer maliw.
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.’
To jokwath mag Gerar nolaro pig-no gi jokwadh Isaka kagiwacho niya, “Pigni en marwa.” Kuom mano Isaka nochako sokono ni Esek (tiende ni kar dhawo) nikech ne gilare kode
21 Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’
Eka jotich Isaka nokunyo soko moro kendo, to ne gilarore kuom mano bende; kuom mano nochake ni Sitna (tiende ni sadha).
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.”
Nodar kanyo modhi kendo odhi okunyo soko machielo, kendo onge ngʼama nolaro kode. Nochake ni Rehoboth (tiende ni thuolo moromowa), kowacho niya, “Koro Jehova Nyasaye osemiyowa thuolo kendo wabiro medore e piny.”
23 Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
Noa kuno modhi nyaka Bersheba,
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.”
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne gotieno mowachone niya, “An e Nyasach wuonu Ibrahim. Kik iluor nikech an kodi; abiro gwedhi kendo abiro medo nyikwayi nikech singruok mane atimo gi Ibrahim jatichna.”
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.
Isaka nogero kendo mar misango kuno kendo noluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye. Nogero hembe kanyo mi jotichne nokunyo soko moro kanyo.
26 When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,
Eka Abimelek nobiro ire koa Gerar, ka gin gi Ahuzath jangʼadne rieko kod Fikol ma jatend jolwenje.
27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among you?”
Isaka nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ubiro ira to ne ok udwara mi uriemba?”
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,
Negidwoke niya, “Koro wasefwenyo ratiro ni Jehova Nyasaye neni kodi, omiyo wadwaro mondo watim kodi winjruok kwakwongʼore. Yie watim winjruok kodi
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.”
ni ok initimnwa marach mana kaka wan bende ne ok watimoni marach to ne wariti maber mi wagoli gi kwe mondo idhi. To koro Jehova Nyasaye osegwedhi.”
30 Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the food and drink,
Kuom mano Isaka nolosonegi nyasi mi gichiemo kendo gimetho.
31 arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.
Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich negisingore ka gikwongʼore ngʼato gi ngʼato. Eka Isaka nogonyogi ma gidhi gi kwe.
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.”
Chiengʼ onogo jotich Isaka nobiro ire monyise kuom soko mane gisekunyo. Negiwachone niya, “Waseyudo pi!”
33 Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present day.
Noluongo kanyo ni Shiba (tiende ni kar singruok) nyaka chil kawuono dalano osebed kiluongo ni Bersheba.
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.
Kane Esau ja-higni piero angʼwen, nokendo Judith nyar Beeri ma ja-Hiti, kod Basemath nyar Elon ma ja-Hiti.
35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.
Mon-go nomiyo Isaka kod Rebeka chuny lit.
