Genesis 26
1 And there was a famine in the lande besides the first famine that was in the dayes of Abraham. Wherefore Izhak went to Abimelech King of the Philistims vnto Gerar.
Ne wabaawo enjala mu nsi, eteri eri eyabaawo mu biseera bya Ibulayimu. Isaaka n’agenda mu Gerali, ewa Abimereki kabaka w’Abafirisuuti.
2 For the Lord appeared vnto him, and sayde, Goe not downe into Egypt, but abide in the land which I shall shewe vnto thee.
Ne Mukama n’amulabikira, n’amugamba nti, “Toserengeta Misiri, beera mu nsi gye ndikulaga.
3 Dwell in this lande, and I will be with thee, and will blesse thee: for to thee, and to thy seede I will giue all these countreys: and I will performe the othe which I sware vnto Abraham thy father.
Beera mu nsi gye ndikulaga, nnaabeeranga naawe, n’akuwanga omukisa kubanga gwe n’abaana bo ndibawa ensi zino zonna, era ndituukiriza ekirayiro kye nalayirira kitaawo Ibulayimu.
4 Also I wil cause thy seede to multiply as the starres of heauen, and will giue vnto thy seede all these countreys: and in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,
Ndyaza abaana b’enda yo ne baba ng’emmunyeenye ez’eggulu, era ndibawa n’ensi zino zonna. Era mu bo amawanga gonna ag’oku nsi mwe galiweerwa omukisa;
5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voyce and kept mine ordinance, my commandements, my statutes, and my Lawes.
kubanga Ibulayimu yagondera eddoboozi lyange, n’akwata bye namukuutira, n’ebiragiro byange, n’ebigambo byange awamu n’amateeka gange.”
6 So Izhak dwelt in Gerar.
Bw’atyo Isaaka n’abeera mu Gerali,
7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife, and he sayd, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife, least, sayde he, the men of the place shoulde kill me, because of Rebekah: for she was beautifull to the eye.
abasajja ab’omu nsi omwo bwe baamubuuza ku mukazi we n’abaddamu nti, “Mwannyinaze.” Kubanga yatya okwogera nti, “Mukazi wange,” ng’alowooza nti, “Abasajja ab’omu nsi omwo tebalwa kunzita lwa Lebbeeka,” kubanga yali mulungi nnyo.
8 So after hee had bene there long time, Abimelech King of the Philistims looked out at a windowe, and loe, he sawe Izhak sporting with Rebekah his wife.
Bwe yamalayo ekiseera ekiwanvu, Abimereki, kabaka w’Abafirisuuti n’atunula mu ddirisa, n’alaba Isaaka ng’azannya ne Lebbeeka mukazi we.
9 Then Abimelech called Izhak, and sayde, Loe, shee is of a suertie thy wife, and why saydest thou, She is my sister? To whom Izhak answered, Because I thought this, It may be that I shall dye for her.
Abimereki kwe kuyita Isaaka n’amugamba nti, “Ddala, mukazi wo, lwaki wagamba nti, ‘Mwannyinaze’?” Isaaka n’amuddamu nti, “Kubanga nalowooza nti, ‘Nnyinza okufiirwa obulamu bwange ku lulwe.’”
10 Then Abimelech said, Why hast thou done this vnto vs? one of the people had almost lien by thy wife, so shouldest thou haue brought sinne vpon vs.
Abimereki n’amugamba nti, “Kale kiki kino ky’otukoze? Omu ku basajja yandiyinzizza okusobya ku mukazi wo, wandituleeseeko omusango.”
11 Then Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man, or his wife, shall die the death.
Awo Abimereki n’alyoka alagira abantu bonna ng’agamba nti, “Buli alikwata ku musajja ono oba ku mukyala we waakuttibwa.”
12 Afterwarde Izhak sowed in that lande, and founde in the same yeere an hundreth folde by estimation: and so the Lord blessed him.
Isaaka n’asigala mu nsi omwo, n’afuna amakungula emirundi kikumi ag’ebyo bye yasiga, kubanga Mukama yamuwa omukisa.
13 And the man waxed mightie, and stil increased, till he was exceeding great,
N’afuuka mugagga, obugagga bwe ne bweyongera n’agaggawala nnyo.
14 For he had flockes of sheepe, and heards of cattell, and a mightie housholde: therefore the Philistims had enuy at him.
Yalina ebisibo by’endiga bingi nnyo n’amagana g’ente, era n’abaweereza nfaafa; Abafirisuuti ne bamukwatirwa obuggya.
15 In so much that the Philistims stopped and filled vp with earth all the welles, which his fathers seruantes digged in his father Abrahams time.
Kyebaava bajjuza enzizi zonna abaddu ba kitaawe ze baasima mu biro bya kitaawe Ibulayimu, ne baziziba.
16 Then Abimelech sayde vnto Izhak, Get thee from vs, for thou art mightier then wee a great deale.
Ne Abimereki n’agamba Isaaka nti, “Ggenda, tuveemu kubanga otuyitiridde amaanyi.”
17 Therefore Izhak departed thence and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Awo Isaaka n’avaayo n’azimba mu kiwonvu eky’e Gerali, n’abeera omwo.
18 And Izhak returning, digged the welles of water, which they had digged in the dayes of Abraham his father: for the Philistims had stopped them after the death of Abraham, and hee gaue them the same names, which his father gaue them.
Isaaka n’azibukula enzizi ezaali zisimiddwa mu biseera bya Ibulayimu kitaawe, kubanga Abafirisuuti baziziba Ibulayimu bwe yamala okufa. Era ye Isaaka n’aziyita amannya gali kitaawe ge yali azituumye.
19 Izhaks seruantes then digged in the valley, and found there a well of liuing water.
Naye abaddu ba Isaaka bwe basima mu kiwonvu ne bazuula oluzzi olw’ensulo,
20 But the herdmen of Gerar did striue with Izhaks herdmen, saying, The water is ours: therefore called he the name of the well Esek, because they were at strife with him.
abasumba b’omu Gerali ne bayomba n’abasumba ba Isaaka nga bagamba nti, “Amazzi gaffe.” Oluzzi olwo kyeyava alutuuma Eseki, kubanga baawakana naye.
21 Afterwarde they digged another well, and stroue for that also, and he called the name of it Sitnah.
Kyebaava basima oluzzi olulala, era nalwo ne baluyombera, lwo kwe kuluyita Situna.
22 Then he remoued thence, and digged an other well, for the which they stroue not: therefore called hee the name of it Rehoboth, and sayde, Because the Lord hath nowe made vs roome, we shall increase vpon the earth.
Awo n’avaayo n’asima oluzzi olulala, olwo lwo ne bataluyombera, kyeyava alutuuma Lekobosi, ng’agamba nti, “Kubanga kaakano Mukama atuwadde ebbanga, era tujja kukulaakulanira muno.”
23 So he went vp thence to Beer-sheba.
Bwe yava eyo n’agenda e Beeruseba.
24 And the Lord appeared vnto him the same night, and sayde, I am the God of Abraham thy father: feare not, for I am with thee, and wil blesse thee, and will multiplie thy seede for my seruant Abrahams sake.
Ekiro ekyo Mukama n’alabikira Isaaka, n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda wa Ibulayimu kitaawo, totya. Kubanga ndiwamu naawe, ndikuwa omukisa era ndyaza abaana bo ku lwa Ibulayimu omuddu wange.”
25 Then he builte an altar there, and called vpon the Name of the Lord, and there spred his tent: where also Izhaks seruauntes digged a well.
Awo n’azimbawo ekyoto n’akoowoola erinnya lya Mukama, n’asimba eyo eweema ye. Era n’eyo abaddu be ne basimayo oluzzi.
26 Then came Abimelech to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friendes, and Phichol the captaine of his armie.
Mu kiseera kye kimu Abimereki n’ava mu Gerali ng’ali ne Akuzasa gwe yeebuuzangako amagezi ne Fikoli omukulu w’eggye lye, n’agenda eri Isaaka.
27 To whom Izhak sayd, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate mee and haue put mee away from you?
Isaaka n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki muzze gye ndi ng’ate mwankijjanya ne mungobaganya?”
28 Who answered, Wee sawe certainely that the Lord was with thee, and wee thought thus, Let there be nowe an othe betweene vs, euen betweene vs and thee, and let vs make a couenant with thee.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tulabidde ddala nga Mukama ali naawe, kyetuva tugamba nti, ‘Wabeewo ekirayiro wakati wo naffe. Era tukole endagaano naawe,
29 If thou shalt do vs no hurt, as we haue not touched thee, and as we haue done vnto thee nothing but good, and sent thee away in peace: thou nowe, the blessed of the Lord, doe this.
nga tolitukola kabi, nga ffe bwe tutaakakukola era nga tetuliiko kye tukukoze, wabula ebirungi era nga twakusiibula mirembe.’ Kaakano gwe oli muntu Mukama gw’awadde omukisa.”
30 Then hee made them a feast, and they dyd eate and drinke.
Awo Isaaka n’abakolera ekijjulo ne balya ne banywa.
31 And they rose vp betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: then Izhak let them go, and they departed from him in peace.
Ku makya ennyo ne bagolokoka ne balayiriragana, Isaaka n’abawerekerako ne bava gy’ali mirembe.
32 And that same day Izhaks seruantes came and tolde him of a well, which they had digged, and said vnto him, We haue found water.
Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, abaddu ba Isaaka ne bajja ne bamutegeeza eby’oluzzi lwe baasima, ne bamugamba nti, “Tuzudde amazzi.”
33 So hee called it Shibah: therefore the name of the citie is called Beer-sheba vnto this day.
N’alutuuma Siba; erinnya ly’ekibuga kyeriva liba Beeruseba na buli kati.
34 Nowe when Esau was fourtie yeere olde, he tooke to wife Iudith, the daughter of Beeri an Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon an Hittite also.
Esawu bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi ana egy’obukulu, n’awasa Yudisi muwala wa Beeri Omukiiti, ne Besimansi muwala wa Eroni naye Omukiiti.
35 And they were a griefe of minde to Izhak and to Rebekah.
Ne bakaluubiriza nnyo Isaaka ne Lebbeeka obulamu.
