< Genesis 26 >

1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
Ary nisy mosary indray teo amin’ ny tany afa-tsy ilay mosary voalohany fony fahavelon’ i Abrahama. Ary Isaka nankany amin’ i Abimeleka mpanjakan’ ny Filistina, tany Gerara.
2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said: 'Go not down unto Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of.
Ary Jehovah niseho taminy ka nanao hoe: Aza midìna any Egypta ianao; mitoera eo amin’ ny tany izay holazaiko aminao.
3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father;
Mivahinia eto amin’ ity tany ity ianao, dia homba anao sy hitahy anao Aho; fa ianao sy ny taranakao no homeko ireto tany rehetra ireto, ka hotoviko ny fianianana izay nataoko tamin’ i Abrahama rainao;
4 and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and by thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves;
dia hahamaro ny taranakao ho tahaka ny kintana eny amin’ ny lanitra Aho, ka homeko ny taranakao ireto tany rehetra ireto, ary amin’ ny taranakao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany;
5 because that Abraham hearkened to My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.'
satria efa nihaino ny feoko Abrahama ka nitandrina izay nasaiko notandremany, dia ny didiko sy ny teniko ary ny lalàko.
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
Ary Isaka dia nitoetra tany Gerara.
7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said: 'She is my sister'; for he feared to say: 'My wife'; 'lest the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she is fair to look upon.'
Ary ny lehilahy tompon-tany nanontany ny amin’ ny vadiny; ary hoy kosa izy: Anabaviko izy; fa natahotra hilaza hoe: Vadiko izy, fandrao, hoy izy, hamono ahy ny lehilahy tompon-tany noho Rebeka, satria tsara tarehy izy.
8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
Ary rehefa nitoetra ela teo izy, dia nitsirika teo am-baravarankely Abimeleka, mpanjakan’ ny Filistina, ka nahita fa, indro, Isaka nisangy tamin-dRebeka vadiny.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said: 'Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou: She is my sister?' And Isaac said unto him: 'Because I said: Lest I die because of her.'
Ary Abimeleka dia niantso an’ Isaka ka nanao hoe: Efa hita mihitsy fa vadinao izy, ka nahoana no nolazainao hoe: Anabaviko izy? Ary hoy Isaka taminy: Satria hoy izaho anakampo: Fandrao maty aho noho ny aminy.
10 And Abimelech said: 'What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might easily have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.'
Ary hoy Abimeleka: Inona izao nataonao taminay izao? Saiky nisy nandry tamin’ ny vadinao ny olona, dia ho nahatonga heloka taminay ianao.
11 And Abimelech charged all the people, saying: 'He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.'
Dia nandidy ny vahoakany rehetra Abimeleka ka nanao hoe: Izay manendry io lehilahy io na ny vadiny dia hatao maty tokoa.
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.
Dia namafy tamin’ izany tany izany Isaka ka nahazo zato heny tamin’ izay taona izay, satria efa notahin’ i Jehovah izy.
13 And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
Ary nanan-karena ralehilahy ka nandroso sy nitombo ambara-pahatongany ho mpanjatobe indrindra;
14 And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household; and the Philistines envied him.
fa nanana fananana be izy, dia ondry aman’ osy sy omby ary andevo maro; ka dia nialona azy ny Filistina.
15 Now all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
Ary ny lavaka fantsakana rehetra, izay efa nohadin’ ny mpanompon-drainy fony fahavelon’ i Abrahama rainy, dia efa novonoin’ ny Filistina sy nototofany tany avokoa.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac: 'Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.'
Ary hoy Abimeleka tamin’ Isaka: Miala atỳ aminay; fa ianao mahery lavitra noho izahay.
17 And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Ary lasa niala teo Isaka, dia nanorina ny lainy teo an-dohasahan’ i Gerara ka nonina teo.
18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Dia noloaran’ Isaka indray ny lavaka fantsakana izay voahady fony fahavelon’ i Abrahama rainy, fa efa novonoin’ ny Filistina ireny, rehefa maty Abrahama; ary dia nasiany anarana ireny araka ny anarana izay efa nanaovan-drainy azy ihany.
19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of living water.
Dia nihady teo amin’ ny lohasaha ny mpanompon’ Isaka ka nahita loharano velona teo.
20 And the herdmen of Gerar strove with Isaac's herdmen, saying: 'The water is ours.' And he called the name of the well Esek; because they contended with him.
Ary niady tamin’ ny mpiandry ombin’ Isaka ny mpiandry omby tao Gerara ka nanao hoe: Anay ny rano; ary ny anaran’ ny lavaka fantsakana dia nataon’ Isaka hoe Eseka, satria nifanditra taminy izy ireo.
21 And they digged another well, and they strove for that also. And he called the name of it Sitnah.
Dia nihady lavaka fantsakana hafa koa izy, ka niadiany indray io; ary ny anarany dia nataony hoe Sitna.
22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not. And he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said: 'For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.'
Dia nifindra niala teo izy ka nihady lavaka fantsakana hafa koa indray; fa io kosa tsy mba niadiany; koa ny anarany dia nataony hoe Rehobota; fa hoy izy: Efa nomen’ i Jehovah toerana malalaka isika ankehitriny, dia hihamaro eo amin’ ny tany.
23 And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
Dia niakatra niala teo izy ka nankany Beri-sheba.
24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said: 'I am the God of Abraham thy father. Fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for My servant Abraham's sake.'
Ary Jehovah niseho taminy tamin’ iny alina iny ka nanao hoe: Izaho no Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama rainao; aza matahotra, fa momba anao Aho ka hitahy anao sy hahamaro ny taranakao noho ny amin’ i Abrahama mpanompoko.
25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
Ary nanorina alitara teo izy, dia niantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah sady nanorina ny lainy teo koa; ary nihady lavaka fantsakana teo ny mpanompon’ Isaka.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host.
Ary Abimeleka mbamin’ i Ahozata sakaizany sy Pikola, komandin’ ny miaramilany, dia niala tao Gerara hankany amin’ Isaka.
27 And Isaac said unto them: 'Wherefore are ye come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?'
Fa hoy Isaka taminy: Nahoana ianareo no mankaty amiko, kanefa nankahala ahy ianareo ka nandroaka ahy niala teo aminareo?
28 And they said: 'We saw plainly that the LORD was with thee; and we said: Let there now be an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
Ary hoy izy ireo: Efa hitanay marimarina fa momba anao Jehovah, ka dia hoy izahay: Aoka samy hanao fianianana isika, dia izahay sy ianao, ary aoka izahay hanao fanekena aminao,
29 that thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace; thou art now the blessed of the LORD.'
fa tsy hanisy ratsy anay ianao, tahaka ny tsy nanendrenay anao akory, sy tahaka ny tsy nanaovanay na inona na inona taminao afa-tsy ny soa ihany, fa efa nampandehaninay soa aman-tsara ianao. Fa ianao ankehitriny efa notahin’ i Jehovah.
30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
Dia nanao fanasana ho azy Isaka, ka dia nihinana sy nisotro izy.
31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Dia nifoha maraina koa izy, ka samy nanao fianianana; dia nampandehanin’ Isaka ireo, ka dia lasa nody soa aman-tsara izy.
32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him: 'We have found water.'
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia avy ny mpanompon’ Isaka ka nanambara taminy ny amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana izay efa nohadiny ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa nahita rano izahay.
33 And he called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.
Dia nanao ny anarany hoe Sheba izy; izany no nanaovana ny anaran’ ny tanàna hoe Beri-sheba mandraka androany.
34 And when Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Ary rehefa efa-polo taona Esao, dia nampakatra an’ i Jodita, zanakavavin’ i Bery Hetita, sy Basemata, zanakavavin’ i Elona Hetita, izy.
35 And they were a bitterness of spirit unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
Dia nangidy tamin’ ny fanahin’ Isaka sy Rebeka indrindra ireny.
