Genesis 26
1 There was a famine in the country—not the one that happened before in Abraham's time, but a later one. So Isaac moved to Gerar in the territory of Abimelech, king of the Philistines.
Na ka matekai te whenua, haunga te matekai tuatahi i puta mai i nga ra o Aperahama. A ka haere a Ihaka ki a Apimereke, kingi o nga Pirihitini, ki Kerara.
2 The Lord appeared to Isaac and told him, “Don't go to Egypt—live in the country that I tell you to.
Na ka puta mai a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea, Kaua e haere ki raro, ki Ihipa; e noho ki te whenua e korero ai ahau ki a koe:
3 Stay here in this country. I will be with you and I will bless you, because I'm going to give you and your descendants all these lands. I will keep the solemn promise that I swore to Abraham your father.
E noho i tenei whenua, a ka tata ahau ki a koe, ka manaaki hoki i a koe; ka hoatu nei hoki e ahau enei whenua katoa ki a koutou ko ou uri, a ka whakapumautia te oati i oati ai ahau ki a Aperahama, ki tou papa;
4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and I will give them all these lands. All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your descendants,
A ka whakanuia e ahau ou uri kia pera me nga whetu o te rangi, ka hoatu hoki e ahau enei whenua katoa ki ou uri; a ma tou uri ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua;
5 because Abraham did what I told him, and kept my requirements, my commands, my regulations, and my laws.”
No te mea i rongo a Aperahama ki toku reo, i mau ki aku ako, ki aku whakahau, ki aku tikanga, ki aku ture.
6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar.
Na ka noho a Ihaka i Kerara:
7 When the men there asked him about his wife, he told them, “She's my sister,” because he was afraid. He said to himself, “If I say she's my wife, the men here will kill me to get Rebekah, because she's so beautiful.”
A ka ui nga tangata o taua wahi ki tana wahine; a ka mea ia, Ko toku tuahine ia: i wehi hoki ia, te mea ai, Ko taku wahine; i mea hoki, Kei patua ahau e nga tangata o tenei wahi mo Ripeka; he ataahua hoki ia ki te titiro atu.
8 But later on, after he'd been there a while, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, happened to look out the window and saw Isaac lovingly fondling his wife Rebekah.
A ka maha ona ra ki reira, ka titiro atu a Apimereke, kingi o nga Pirihitini, i te matapihi, a ka kite, na, ko Ihaka e takaro ana ki a Ripeka, ki tana wahine.
9 Abimelech sent for Isaac and complained. “From what I saw she's clearly your wife!” he said. “Why on earth did you say, ‘She's my sister’?” “Because I thought I'd be killed because of her,” Isaac replied.
Na ka karangatia e Apimereke a Ihaka, ka mea atu, Koia ano, ko tau wahine tonu ia: na te aha koe i mea ia, Ko taku tuahine ia? Ka mea a Ihaka ki a ia, I mea hoki ahau, Kei mate ahau mona.
10 “Why would you do this to us?” Abimelech asked. “One of the men here might have slept with your wife, and you would have made us all guilty!”
Na ka mea a Apimereke, He aha tenei mahi au ki a matou? wahi iti kua takoto tetahi o te iwi nei ki tau wahine, a kua takina mai e koe he hara ki runga ki a matou.
11 Abimelech issued orders to all the people, warning them, “Anyone who touches this man or his wife will be executed.”
Na ka whakatupato a Apimereke ki tona iwi katoa, ka mea, Ko te tangata e pa ki tenei tangata, ki tana wahine ranei, he pono ka mate ia.
12 Isaac sowed grain that year, and the Lord blessed him with a harvest that was a hundred times what he planted.
A i rui a Ihaka ki taua whenua, a maea ake i taua tau ano kotahi rau: i manaakitia hoki ia e Ihowa:
13 He became a rich man, and his wealth steadily increased until he was very rich.
Na ka kake taua tangata, ka tino nui haere, no ka nui noa ake ia:
14 He owned many flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, as well as many slaves. He had so much that the Philistines became jealous of him.
A ka whiwhi ia i nga kahui hipi, i nga kahui kau, i te tini o te pononga: a ka hae nga Pirihitini ki a ia.
15 So the Philistines used dirt to block up all the wells his father Abraham's servants had dug.
Na ko nga poka katoa i keria e nga pononga a tona papa i nga ra o Aperahama, o tona papa, i tanumia era e nga Pirihitini, i whakakiia hoki ki te oneone.
16 Then Abimelech told Isaac, “You have to leave our country, because you've become much too powerful for us.”
Na ka mea a Apimereke ki a Ihaka, Haere atu i roto i a matou; he kaha rawa hoki koe i a matou.
17 So Isaac moved away and set up his tents in the Gerar Valley where he settled down.
Na haere atu ana a Ihaka i reira, a whakaturia ana tona puni ki te awaawa o Kerara, a noho ana i reira.
18 He unblocked the wells that had been dug in his father Abraham's time—the ones the Philistines had blocked after the death of Abraham. He gave them the same names his father had.
Na ka keria ano e Ihaka nga poka wai i keria ra i nga ra o Aperahama, o tona papa; i tanumia hoki e nga Pirihitini i muri i te matenga o Aperahama: a huaina ana e ia hei ingoa mo aua poka ko nga ingoa i huaina iho e tona papa.
19 Isaac's servants also dug a new well in the valley and found spring water.
Na ka keri nga pononga a Ihaka ki te awaawa, a ka kitea e ratou i reira he puna manawa whenua.
20 But the herdsmen from Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, claiming, “That's our water!” So Isaac named the well, “Argument,” because they argued with him.
Na ka tautohe nga hepara o Kerara ki nga hepara a Ihaka, ka mea, Na matou tenei wai: a huaina ana e ia te ingoa o te poka ko Eheke; mo ratou hoki i whakatetete ki a ia.
21 He had another well dug, and they argued over that one too. He named the well, “Opposition.”
Na ka keri ratou i tetahi atu poka, ka tautohetia ano tera e ratou: a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Hitina.
22 So they moved on from there and he had another well dug. This time there was no argument so he named the well, “Freedom,” saying, “Now the Lord has given us freedom to expand and be successful in this land.”
Na ka neke atu ia i reira, a ka keri i tetahi atu poka; kihai tera i tautohetia e ratou: na ka huaina e ia tona ingoa ko Rehopoto; i mea hoki ia, Katahi nei hoki a Ihowa ka whakawatea i tetahi nohoanga mo tatou, a ka hua tatou ki runga ki te whe nua.
23 From there he moved on to Beersheba.
Na ka haere atu ia i reira ki runga, ki Peerehepa.
24 That night the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Don't be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and give you many descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.”
A ka puta mai a Ihowa ki a ia i taua po ano, ka mea, Ko ahau te Atua o Aperahama, o tou papa: kaua e wehi, kei a koe nei hoki ahau, a ka manaaki ahau i a koe, ka whakanui hoki i ou uri, he whakaaro ki a Aperahama, ki taku pononga.
25 Isaac built an altar and worshiped the Lord. He also set up his tent, and his servants dug a well there.
Na ka hanga e ia he aata ki reira, a ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa, a whakaturia ana hoki e ia tona teneti ki reira: a ka keria tetahi poka ki reira e nga pononga a Ihaka.
26 Sometime later Abimelech came from Gerar to see Isaac, along with Ahuzzath his advisor, and Phicol the commander of his army.
Na ka haere mai a Apimereke i Kerara ki a ia, ratou ko Ahutata ko tetahi o ona hoa, ko Pikora hoki, ko te rangatira o tana ope.
27 “Why have you come to see me?” Isaac asked them. “Previously you hated me and told me to leave!”
A ka mea a Ihaka ki a ratou, I haere mai koutou ki ahau ki te aha, ina hoki kua kino koutou ki ahau, kua pei hoki i ahau i roto i a koutou?
28 “Now we realize that the Lord is with you,” they replied. “So we agreed that we should make a sworn agreement with you.
A ka mea ratou, I kite marama matou, kei a koe a Ihowa: koia matou i mea ai, Kia takoto aianei he oati ki waenganui i a tatou, ki waenganui o matou, ou, kia whakarite kawenata hoki matou ki a koe;
29 You'll promise not to harm us in the same way we've never hurt you. You'll agree that we've always treated you well, and when we asked you to leave we did so kindly. Now look at how the Lord is blessing you!”
Kia kaua koe e tukino i a matou, kia penei me matou kihai nei i pa ki a koe, kihai hoki i aha ki a koe, heoi ko te pai anake, i ata tuku ano i a koe: inaianei ko koe te manaakitanga a Ihowa.
30 So Isaac had a special meal prepared to celebrate the agreement. They ate and drank,
Na ka tukua e ia he hakari ma ratou, a ka kai ratou, ka inu.
31 and got up early in the morning and they each swore oaths to one other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left in peace.
Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, ka oati ratou tetahi ki tetahi: a tukua ana ratou e Ihaka kia haere, a hoki marie atu ana ratou i a ia.
32 It was that very day when Isaac's servants who'd been digging a well came and told him, “We've found water!”
A i taua rangi ano ka haere mai nga pononga a Ihaka, ka korero ki a ia i te poka i keria e ratou, a ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e matou he wai.
33 So Isaac named the well, “Oath,” and that's why the name of the town is “Well of the Oath” (Beersheba) to this day.
A huaina iho e ia taua poka ko Hepaha: no kona te ingoa o tena pa, o Peerehepa, a mohoa noa nei.
34 When Esau was 40, he married Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, as well as Basemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite.
A, ka wha tekau nga tau o Ehau, ka tango ia i a Iuriti tamahine a Peeri Hiti, hei wahine mana, rauako Pahemata tamahine a Erona Hiti:
35 They caused Isaac and Rebekah a great deal of grief.
A ka waiho raua hei mea pouri ki nga ngakau o Ihaka raua ko Ripeka.
