Genesis 26
1 And there is a famine in the land, besides the first famine which was in the days of Abraham, and Isaac goes to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Abraham tue vaengkah aka om khokha lamhma bangla khohmuen ah khokha hlawt a om dongah Gerar kah Philisti manghai Abimelek taengla Isaak cet.
2 And YHWH appears to him and says, “Do not go down toward Egypt, dwell in the land concerning which I speak to you,
Te vaengah anih taengah BOEIPA phoe tih, “Egypt la cet boeh. Nang taengah kan thui khohmuen ah rhaehrhong mai.
3 sojourn in this land, and I am with you, and bless you, for to you and to your seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to your father Abraham;
Hekah kho ah na bakuep cakhaw, 'Hekah khohmuen pum he nang neh nang kah tiingan taengah ka paek ni, ' tila na pa Abraham taengah ka toemngam sut olhlo te ka thoh ham coeng dongah nang taengah ka om vetih nang yoethen kan paek ni.
4 and I have multiplied your seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to your seed all these lands; and all nations of the earth have blessed themselves in your Seed;
Na tiingan khaw vaan aisi bangla ka pungtai sak vetih na tiingan taengah hekah khohmuen boeih ka paek vaengah nang kah tiingan rhang neh diklai namtom boeih a yoethen uh ni.
5 because that Abraham has listened to My voice, and keeps My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.”
Te dongah ni Abraham loh ka ol a hnatun tih ka kueknah, ka olpaek, ka khosing neh ka olkhueng te a ngaithuen,” a ti nah.
6 And Isaac dwells in Gerar;
Isaak loh Gerar ah kho a sak.
7 and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he says, “She [is] my sister”: for he has been afraid to say, “My wife—lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is] of good appearance.”
Te vaengah te hmuen kah hlang loh a yuu kawng a dawt uh. Te vaengah, “Rebekah he a mueimae then tih anih kongah te hmuen kah hlang rhoek loh kai n'ngawn uh ve,” a ti. “Ka yuu ni,” ti ham a rhih tih, “Ka ngannu ni,” a ti nah.
8 And it comes to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looks through the window, and sees, and behold, Isaac is playing with his wife Rebekah.
Teah te kum a sen a om phoeiah Philisti manghai Abimelek loh bangbuet lamkah a dan hatah Isaak loh a yuu Rebekah a law te lawt a hmuh.
9 And Abimelech calls for Isaac and says, “Behold, she [is] surely your wife; and how could you have said, She [is] my sister?” And Isaac says to him, “Because I said, Lest I die for her.”
Te dongah Abimelek loh Isaak te a khue tih, “Anih he na yuu taktak a? Tedae bahamlae, 'Anih he ka ngannu ni, ' na ti,” a ti nah. Te dongah Isaak loh, “Anih kongah ka duek ve,” ka ti dongah ni,” a ti nah.
10 And Abimelech says, “What [is] this you have done to us? As a little thing one of the people had lain with your wife, and you had brought on us guilt”;
Te dongah Abimelek loh, “Kaimih taengah balae na saii he? Pilnam khuikah pakhat loh na yuu taengah yalh koinih kaimih soah tholhnah nan pup hloe mai,” a ti nah.
11 and Abimelech commands all the people, saying, “He who comes against this man or against his wife, dying does die.”
Te dongah Abimelek loh pilnam boeih te a uen tih, “Hekah hlang neh a yuu te aka ben tah duek rhoe duek saeh,” a ti nah.
12 And Isaac sows in that land, and finds in that year a hundredfold, and YHWH blesses him;
Isaak loh khohmuen a tawn tih BOEIPA loh yoethen a paek dongah amah kum ah a pueh yakhat a dang.
13 and the man is great, and goes on, going on and becoming great, until he has been very great,
Tekah hlang khaw pantai tih thoeih la thoeih coeng. Te dongah a khawk nah hil boeilen tih rhoeng.
14 and he has possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy him,
Te vaengah anih kah tuping boiva neh saelhung boiva khaw, imkhut khaw muep a khueh. Te dongah Philisti rhoek te anih taengah thatlai uh.
15 and all the wells which his father’s servants dug in the days of his father Abraham, the Philistines have stopped them, and fill them with dust.
Te dongah a napa Abraham tue vaengah a napa kah sal rhoek loh a too uh tuito boeih te Philisti rhoek loh a toeng sak uh tih laipi neh a et pa uh.
16 And Abimelech says to Isaac, “Go from us; for you have become much mightier than we”;
Te dongah Abimelek loh Isaak te, “Nang he kaimih lakah bahoeng na tahoeng dongah kaimih taeng lamloh nong laeh,” a ti nah.
17 and Isaac goes from there, and encamps in the Valley of Gerar, and dwells there;
Isaak loh te lamkah nong phoeiah Gerar soklong ah rhaeh tih pahoi kho a sak.
18 and Isaac turns back, and digs the wells of water which they dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines have stopped after the death of Abraham, and he calls to them names according to the names which his father called them.
Te vaengah a napa Abraham tue vaengah a too uh dae Abraham a duek phoeiah Philisti rhoek loh a toeng sak tuito tui te Isaak loh koep a too. Te dongah tuito ming te a napa kah ming sui phek la a sui.
19 And Isaac’s servants dig in the valley, and find there a well of living water,
Tedae Isaak kah sal rhoek loh soklong ah a too uh hatah hingnah tui tuito te a hmuh uh.
20 and shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, “The water [is] ours”; and he calls the name of the well “Strife,” because they have striven habitually with him;
Tedae Gerar kah boiva aka dawn rhoek neh Isaak kah boiva aka dawn rhoek toh uh thae tih, “Kaimih kah tui ni,” a ti uh. Te dongah amih neh a tukvat uh thae vanbangla Esek tuito tila a ming a sui.
21 and they dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calls its name “Hatred.”
Te phoeiah tuito a tloe a too uh hatah te dongah khaw toh uh thae bal tih a ming te Sitnah a sui.
22 And he removes from there, and digs another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calls its name “Enlargements,” and says, “For—now has YHWH given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.”
Te lamloh puen uh tih tuito a tloe a too vaengah toh uh thae voel pawh. Te dongah, “BOEIPA loh mamih ham hmuen han saelh tih khohmuen ah m'pungtai uh ni he,” a ti. Te phoeiah a ming te Rehoboth a sui.
23 And he goes up from there [to] Beer-Sheba,
Te phoeiah te lamloh Beersheba la cet.
24 and YHWH appears to him during that night and says, “I [am] the God of your father Abraham, do not fear, for I [am] with you, and have blessed you, and have multiplied your seed, because of My servant Abraham”;
Tedae tekah hlaem ah anih taengla BOEIPA phoe tih, “Kai he na pa Abraham kah Pathen ni. Nang taengah ka om tih ka sal Abraham kong ah nang yoethen kan paek phoeiah na tiingan te ka ping sak ham dongah rhih boeh,” a ti nah.
25 and he builds there an altar, and preaches in the Name of YHWH, and stretches out there his tent, and there Isaac’s servants dig a well.
Te dongah hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih BOEIPA ming te a phoei. Te phoeiah amah kah dap khaw pahoi a tuk tih Isaak kah sal rhoek loh tuito pahoi a vueh uh.
26 And Abimelech has gone to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol head of his host;
Te vaengah Gerar lamkah Abimelek neh amah kah baerhoep Ahuzzath khaw, amah kah caempuei mangpa Phikol te Isaak taengla halo uh.
27 and Isaac says to them, “Why have you come to me, and you have hated me, and you send me away from you?”
Te dongah Isaak loh amih te, “Nangmih loh kai nan hmuhuet uh tih na taeng lamkah kai na haek uh phoeiah kai taengla balae nan loh uh,” a ti nah.
28 And they say, “We have certainly seen that YHWH has been with you, and we say, Now let there be an oath between us, between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you;
Te vaengah amih loh, “BOEIPA tah nang taengah om tila ka hmuh rhoe ka hmuh uh coeng. Te dongah kaimih laklo ah khaw, kaimih laklo neh nang laklo ah olcaeng om saeh lamtah nang taengah moi bop sih ka ti uh.
29 do no evil with us, as we have not touched you, and as we have only done good with you, and send you away in peace; you [are] now blessed of YHWH.”
Nang te kam ben uh pawt tih nang taengah a then bueng ni ka saii uh. Te dongah nang khaw sading la kan tueih uh. BOEIPA loh yoethen m'paek vanbangla kaimih taengah a thae na saii pawt mako,” a ti uh.
30 And he makes a banquet for them, and they eat and drink,
Te dongah amih ham buhkoknah a saii tih a caak a ok uh.
31 and rise early in the morning, and swear to one another, and Isaac sends them away, and they go from him in peace.
Te phoeiah mincang ah thoo uh tih hlang khat neh khat te toemngam uh rhoi tih amih te a tueih phoeiah Isaak khaw ngaimong la voei.
32 And it comes to pass during that day that Isaac’s servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances of the well which they have dug, and say to him, “We have found water”;
Tedae tekah khohnin ah Isaak kah sal rhoek halo uh tih a taengah a too uh tuito kongmai kawng te puen uh. Te vaengah a taengah, “Tui ka hmuh uh coeng,” a ti nauh.
33 and he calls it Shebah, [oath, ] therefore the name of the city [is] Beer-Sheba, [Well of the Oath, ] to this day.
Te vaengah tekah hmuen te Sheba a sui dongah khopuei ming khaw tahae khohnin due Beersheba la om.
34 And Esau is a son of forty years, and he takes a wife, Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite,
Esau khaw kum sawmli a lo ca vaengah a yuu te Khitti Beeri canu Judith neh Khitti Elon canu Basemath te a loh.
35 and they are a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
Te dongah Isaak neh Rebekah taengah mueihla khahingnah om.
