< Genesis 26 >

1 And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines to Gerara.
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 said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.
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 thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy 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 thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth 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 my ceremonies and 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 So Isaac abode in Gerara.
Hichun Isaac Gerar gamma acheng tan ahi.
7 And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him 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 were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca 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 calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.
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 hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded 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 He that shall touch this man’s wife, shall surely be put to 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 And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a 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 went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding 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 And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying 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 Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:
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 Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier 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 So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell there:
Hichun Isaac chu amaho komma kon in achen Gerar phaicham ah amaho ponbuh akison uvin hiche mun achun aching tauve.
18 And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called them.
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 digged in the torrent, and found living water.
Isaac sohten Gerar phaicham chu twikhuh alai uva ahile twisam phungkhat alai doh tauve.
20 But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which 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 And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of 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 Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.
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 And he went up from that place to Bersabee,
Hiche mun a pat chun Isaac in Beersheba ah akichon kittai.
24 Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
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 he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded 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 To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,
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 are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from 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 answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,
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 That thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with 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 And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:
Hichun Isaac in kinopto na ankong nehkhom na asem in amahon abonchauvin anekhom un adonkhom un ahi.
31 Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.
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 And behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, 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 Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this 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 And Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, 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 Rebecca.
Amavang Esau ji teni chu Isaac le Rebekah din thoh lel aum lheh jeng lhon in ahi.
