< 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.
Ìyàn kan sì mú ní ilẹ̀ náà, yàtọ̀ fún èyí tí ó mú ní ìgbà ayé Abrahamu, Isaaki sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Abimeleki ọba àwọn Filistini ni Gerari.
2 The Lord appeared to Isaac and told him, “Don't go to Egypt—live in the country that I tell you to.
Olúwa sì fi ara han Isaaki, ó sì wí pé, “Má ṣe sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti, jókòó ní ilẹ̀ tí èmi ó fún ọ.
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.
Máa ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ yìí fún ìgbà díẹ̀, èmi ó sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi yóò sì bùkún fún ọ. Nítorí ìwọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ ni èmi yóò fi gbogbo àwọn ilẹ̀ wọ̀nyí fún, èmi yóò sì fi ìdí ìbúra tí mo ṣe fún Abrahamu baba rẹ múlẹ̀.
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,
Èmi yóò sọ ìran rẹ di púpọ̀ bí ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run, èmi yóò sì fi gbogbo ilẹ̀ yìí fún irú àwọn ọmọ rẹ, àti nípasẹ̀ irú-ọmọ rẹ ni a ó bùkún fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé,
5 because Abraham did what I told him, and kept my requirements, my commands, my regulations, and my laws.”
nítorí tí Abrahamu gba ohùn mi gbọ́, ó sì pa gbogbo ìkìlọ̀, àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin mi mọ́.”
6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar.
Nítorí náà Isaaki jókòó ní Gerari.
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.”
Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà bi í léèrè ní ti aya rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Arábìnrin mi ní í ṣe,” nítorí tí ó bẹ̀rù láti jẹ́wọ́ wí pé, “Aya mi ni.” Ó ń rò wí pé, “Kí àwọn ọkùnrin ibẹ̀ náà má ba à pa mí nítorí Rebeka, nítorí tí òun ní ẹwà púpọ̀.”
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.
Nígbà tí Isaaki sì ti wà níbẹ̀ fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọjọ́, Abimeleki ọba Filistini yọjú lójú fèrèsé, ó sì rí Isaaki ń bá Rebeka aya rẹ̀ tage.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki ránṣẹ́ pe Isaaki ó sì wí fun pé, “Nítòótọ́, aya rẹ ni obìnrin yìí í ṣe, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi wí fún wa pé arábìnrin mi ni?” Isaaki sì fèsì pé, “Nítorí mo rò pé mo le pàdánù ẹ̀mí mi nítorí rẹ̀.”
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!”
Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki dáhùn pé, “Èwo ni èyí tí ìwọ ṣe sí wa yìí? Bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí bá ti bá a lòpọ̀ ń kọ́? Ìwọ ìbá wá mú ẹ̀bi wá sórí wa.”
11 Abimelech issued orders to all the people, warning them, “Anyone who touches this man or his wife will be executed.”
Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki pàṣẹ fún gbogbo ènìyàn pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fọwọ́ kan ọkùnrin yìí tàbí aya rẹ̀ yóò jẹ̀bi ikú.”
12 Isaac sowed grain that year, and the Lord blessed him with a harvest that was a hundred times what he planted.
Ní ọdún náà, Isaaki gbin ohun ọ̀gbìn sí ilẹ̀ náà, ó sì kórè rẹ̀ ní ìlọ́po ọgọ́rùn-ún ọdún ni ọdún kan náà, nítorí Olúwa bùkún un.
13 He became a rich man, and his wealth steadily increased until he was very rich.
Ọkùnrin náà sì di ọlọ́rọ̀ púpọ̀, ọrọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń pọ̀ si, títí ó fi di ènìyàn ńlá.
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.
Ó ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹran ọ̀sìn àti agbo ẹran àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn Filistini ń ṣe ìlara rẹ̀.
15 So the Philistines used dirt to block up all the wells his father Abraham's servants had dug.
Nítorí náà àwọn ará Filistini ru erùpẹ̀ di gbogbo kànga tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Abrahamu baba rẹ̀ ti gbẹ́.
16 Then Abimelech told Isaac, “You have to leave our country, because you've become much too powerful for us.”
Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki wí fún Isaaki pé, “Jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ wa, nítorí tí ìwọ ti di alágbára púpọ̀ jù wá lọ.”
17 So Isaac moved away and set up his tents in the Gerar Valley where he settled down.
Isaaki sì ṣí kúrò níbẹ̀, ó sì pàgọ́ sí àfonífojì Gerari ó sì ń gbé ibẹ̀.
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.
Isaaki sì ṣe àtúngbẹ́ àwọn kànga tí Abrahamu baba rẹ̀ ti gbẹ́ nígbà ayé rẹ̀, èyí tí àwọn Filistini ti dí lẹ́yìn ikú Abrahamu baba rẹ̀, ó sì fún wọn lórúkọ tí baba rẹ̀ ti sọ wọ́n tẹ́lẹ̀.
19 Isaac's servants also dug a new well in the valley and found spring water.
Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Isaaki sì gbẹ́ kànga ní àfonífojì náà, wọ́n kan ìsun omi níbẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn darandaran Gerari ń bá àwọn darandaran Isaaki jà sí kànga náà pé àwọn ni àwọn ni í. Nítorí náà ni ó fi pe orúkọ kànga náà ní Eseki, nítorí pé wọ́n bá a jà sí kànga náà.
21 He had another well dug, and they argued over that one too. He named the well, “Opposition.”
Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Isaaki tún gbẹ́ kànga mìíràn, wọ́n sì tún jà nítorí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Sitna.
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.”
Ó sì tún kúrò níbẹ̀, ó sì gbẹ́ kànga mìíràn, wọn kò sì jásí èyí rárá, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Rehoboti, ó wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí, Olúwa ti fi ààyè gbà wá, a ó sì gbilẹ̀ si ní ilẹ̀ náà.”
23 From there he moved on to Beersheba.
Láti ibẹ̀, ó kúrò lọ sí Beerṣeba.
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.”
Ní òru ọjọ́ tí ó dé ibẹ̀, Olúwa sì fi ara hàn án, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ni Ọlọ́run Abrahamu baba rẹ. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù nítorí èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi yóò sì bùsi fún ọ, èmi yóò sì sọ iye ìran rẹ di púpọ̀, nítorí Abrahamu ìránṣẹ́ mi.”
25 Isaac built an altar and worshiped the Lord. He also set up his tent, and his servants dug a well there.
Isaaki sì kọ́ pẹpẹ kan síbẹ̀, ó sì pe orúkọ Olúwa. Níbẹ̀ ni ó pàgọ́ rẹ̀ sí, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ sì gbẹ́ kànga kan níbẹ̀.
26 Sometime later Abimelech came from Gerar to see Isaac, along with Ahuzzath his advisor, and Phicol the commander of his army.
Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti Gerari, àti Ahussati, olùdámọ̀ràn rẹ̀ àti Fikoli, olórí ogun rẹ̀.
27 “Why have you come to see me?” Isaac asked them. “Previously you hated me and told me to leave!”
Isaaki sì bi wọ́n léèrè pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin tọ̀ mí wá, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ẹ̀yin kórìíra mi tí ẹ sì lé mi jáde kúrò lọ́dọ̀ yín?”
28 “Now we realize that the Lord is with you,” they replied. “So we agreed that we should make a sworn agreement with you.
Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “A rí i dájú pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, nítorí náà ni a fi rò ó wí pé, ó yẹ kí májẹ̀mú kí o wà láàrín àwa àti ìwọ. Jẹ́ kí a ṣe àdéhùn
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!”
pé ìwọ kì yóò ṣe wá ní ibi, bí àwa pẹ̀lú kò ti ṣe ọ́ ní aburú, tí a sì ń ṣe ọ́ dáradára, tí a sì rán ọ jáde ní àlàáfíà láìṣe ọ́ ní ibi, kíyèsi Olúwa sì ti bùkún fún ọ.”
30 So Isaac had a special meal prepared to celebrate the agreement. They ate and drank,
Isaaki sì ṣe àsè fún wọn, wọn sì jẹ, wọ́n sì mu.
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.
Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì wọn búra fún ara wọn. Isaaki sì rán wọn lọ, wọ́n sì lọ ní àlàáfíà.
32 It was that very day when Isaac's servants who'd been digging a well came and told him, “We've found water!”
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Isaaki wá sọ fún un pé àwọn ti kan omi ní kànga kan tí àwọn gbẹ́.
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.
Ó sì pe orúkọ kànga náà ní Ṣiba, títí di òní olónìí, orúkọ ìlú náà ni Beerṣeba.
34 When Esau was 40, he married Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, as well as Basemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Nígbà tí Esau pé ọmọ ogójì ọdún ó fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin kan tí a ń pè ní Juditi, ọmọ Beeri, ará Hiti, ó sì tún fẹ́ Basemati, ọmọ Eloni ará Hiti.
35 They caused Isaac and Rebekah a great deal of grief.
Fífẹ́ tí a fẹ́ àwọn obìnrin wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ìbànújẹ́ fún Isaaki àti Rebeka.
