< 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.
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 said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.
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 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.
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 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.
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 my ceremonies and laws.
Anagwedhgi kamano nikech Ibrahim noluora kendo norito dwarona, chikena, buchena kod wechena.”
6 So Isaac abode in Gerara.
Kuom mano Isaka nomedo dak Gerar.
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.
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 were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca 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 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.
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 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:
Eka Abimelek nowacho niya, “Ma en angʼo ma itimonwa ni? Ka dipo ni ngʼatwa moro dine oseriwore gi chiegi, donge dikelonwa richo maduongʼ.”
11 He that shall touch this man’s wife, shall surely be put to death.
Omiyo Abimelek nogolo chik ne ji duto niya, “Ngʼato angʼata ma omulo ngʼatni kata chiege to nyaka negi.”
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a 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 went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great:
Isaka nomedo bedo gi mwandu ahinya kendo mwandune nomedore mobedo jamoko marahuma.
14 And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying him,
Ne en kod pith mag jamni kod pith mag dhok kod jotich mangʼeny mi nyiego nomako jo-Filistia kode.
15 Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:
Omiyo jo-Filistia nodino sokni mane wasumbini Ibrahim wuon Isaka okunyo.
16 Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
Eka Abimelek nowacho ne Isaka niya, “Dar ia ira ka nikech in giteko moloyowa.”
17 So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell there:
Omiyo Isaka nodar kanyo modhi e Holo mar Gerar kendo nodak kanyo.
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.
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 digged in the torrent, and found living water.
Jotich Isaka nokunyo holo kendo negiyudo soko man-gi pi machwer maliw.
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.
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 And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.
Eka jotich Isaka nokunyo soko moro kendo, to ne gilarore kuom mano bende; kuom mano nochake ni Sitna (tiende ni sadha).
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.
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 And he went up from that place to Bersabee,
Noa kuno modhi nyaka Bersheba,
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.
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 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.
Isaka nogero kendo mar misango kuno kendo noluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye. Nogero hembe kanyo mi jotichne nokunyo soko moro kanyo.
26 To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,
Eka Abimelek nobiro ire koa Gerar, ka gin gi Ahuzath jangʼadne rieko kod Fikol ma jatend jolwenje.
27 Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you?
Isaka nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ubiro ira to ne ok udwara mi uriemba?”
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,
Negidwoke niya, “Koro wasefwenyo ratiro ni Jehova Nyasaye neni kodi, omiyo wadwaro mondo watim kodi winjruok kwakwongʼore. Yie watim winjruok kodi
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.
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 And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:
Kuom mano Isaka nolosonegi nyasi mi gichiemo kendo gimetho.
31 Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.
Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich negisingore ka gikwongʼore ngʼato gi ngʼato. Eka Isaka nogonyogi ma gidhi gi kwe.
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.
Chiengʼ onogo jotich Isaka nobiro ire monyise kuom soko mane gisekunyo. Negiwachone niya, “Waseyudo pi!”
33 Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day.
Noluongo kanyo ni Shiba (tiende ni kar singruok) nyaka chil kawuono dalano osebed kiluongo ni Bersheba.
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.
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 Rebecca.
Mon-go nomiyo Isaka kod Rebeka chuny lit.
