< Genesis 26 >

1 There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Koro ne nitie kech maduongʼ e piny; bangʼ kech mokwongo mane obedo e ndalo Ibrahim kendo Isaka nodhi Gerar ir Abimelek ruodh jo-Filistia.
2 And God appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ni Isaka kendo owachone niya, “Kik idhi Misri; to dag mana e piny kama abiro nyisi.
3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
Dag kae matin, kendo abiro bedo kodi mi agwedhi. Nimar in kod nyikwayi abiro miyou pinyni kendo nachop singruok mane atimo gi wuonu Ibrahim.
4 I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the sky, and will give to your descendants all these lands, and by your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed,
Anami nyikwayi bed mangʼeny ka sulwe mae polo kendo abiro miyogi pinyni duto, kendo kokadho kuom nyikwayi, ogendini duto mag pinyni nogwedhi.
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
Anagwedhgi kamano nikech Ibrahim noluora kendo norito dwarona, chikena, buchena kod wechena.”
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
Kuom mano Isaka nomedo dak Gerar.
7 The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife," lest, he thought, "the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at."
Kane jo-Gerar openje kuom chiege, nowachonegi niya, “En nyamera, nikech noluoro wachonegi ni en chiega. Nowachonegi kamano nikech noparo ni jo-Gerar nyalo nege nikech Rebeka ne en dhako ma jaber.”
8 It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and look, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
Kane Isaka osedak kuno kuom kinde mangʼeny, Abimelek ruodh jo-Filistia nongʼicho gie dirisa moneno ka Isaka gi Rebeka chiege jotugo.
9 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Look, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.'"
Kuom mano Abimelek noluongo Isaka mopenje niya, “Kwerie ka dhakoni ok chiegi! Angʼo ma omiyo niwacho, ‘Ni en nyaminu’?” Isaka nodwoke niya, “Nikech ne aparo ni anyalo wito ngimana nikech en.”
10 Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us."
Eka Abimelek nowacho niya, “Ma en angʼo ma itimonwa ni? Ka dipo ni ngʼatwa moro dine oseriwore gi chiegi, donge dikelonwa richo maduongʼ.”
11 Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."
Omiyo Abimelek nogolo chik ne ji duto niya, “Ngʼato angʼata ma omulo ngʼatni kata chiege to nyaka negi.”
12 Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. And God blessed him.
Isaka nopidho cham e pinyno kendo Jehova Nyasaye nogwedhe e higano moyudo cham moloyo manochwoyo nyadi mia achiel.
13 The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
Isaka nomedo bedo gi mwandu ahinya kendo mwandune nomedore mobedo jamoko marahuma.
14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
Ne en kod pith mag jamni kod pith mag dhok kod jotich mangʼeny mi nyiego nomako jo-Filistia kode.
15 Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
Omiyo jo-Filistia nodino sokni mane wasumbini Ibrahim wuon Isaka okunyo.
16 Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."
Eka Abimelek nowacho ne Isaka niya, “Dar ia ira ka nikech in giteko moloyowa.”
17 Isaac departed from there, camped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
Omiyo Isaka nodar kanyo modhi e Holo mar Gerar kendo nodak kanyo.
18 Isaac dug again the wells which the servants of his father Abraham had dug. 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.
Isaka nochako oyawo sokni mane osekuny e ndalo Ibrahim wuon mare, mane jo-Filistia odino bangʼ tho Ibrahim, kendo nochakogi nying mane oyudo wuon-gi Ibrahim osechakogi chon.
19 Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
Jotich Isaka nokunyo holo kendo negiyudo soko man-gi pi machwer maliw.
20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
To jokwath mag Gerar nolaro pig-no gi jokwadh Isaka kagiwacho niya, “Pigni en marwa.” Kuom mano Isaka nochako sokono ni Esek (tiende ni kar dhawo) nikech ne gilare kode
21 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.
Eka jotich Isaka nokunyo soko moro kendo, to ne gilarore kuom mano bende; kuom mano nochake ni Sitna (tiende ni sadha).
22 He left that place, and dug another well. They did not argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now God has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."
Nodar kanyo modhi kendo odhi okunyo soko machielo, kendo onge ngʼama nolaro kode. Nochake ni Rehoboth (tiende ni thuolo moromowa), kowacho niya, “Koro Jehova Nyasaye osemiyowa thuolo kendo wabiro medore e piny.”
23 He went up from there to Beersheba.
Noa kuno modhi nyaka Bersheba,
24 And God appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne gotieno mowachone niya, “An e Nyasach wuonu Ibrahim. Kik iluor nikech an kodi; abiro gwedhi kendo abiro medo nyikwayi nikech singruok mane atimo gi Ibrahim jatichna.”
25 He built an altar there, and called on the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac's servants dug a well.
Isaka nogero kendo mar misango kuno kendo noluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye. Nogero hembe kanyo mi jotichne nokunyo soko moro kanyo.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the commander of his army.
Eka Abimelek nobiro ire koa Gerar, ka gin gi Ahuzath jangʼadne rieko kod Fikol ma jatend jolwenje.
27 Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"
Isaka nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ubiro ira to ne ok udwara mi uriemba?”
28 They said, "We saw plainly that God was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,
Negidwoke niya, “Koro wasefwenyo ratiro ni Jehova Nyasaye neni kodi, omiyo wadwaro mondo watim kodi winjruok kwakwongʼore. Yie watim winjruok kodi
29 that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.' You are now the blessed of God."
ni ok initimnwa marach mana kaka wan bende ne ok watimoni marach to ne wariti maber mi wagoli gi kwe mondo idhi. To koro Jehova Nyasaye osegwedhi.”
30 He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Kuom mano Isaka nolosonegi nyasi mi gichiemo kendo gimetho.
31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to each other. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich negisingore ka gikwongʼore ngʼato gi ngʼato. Eka Isaka nogonyogi ma gidhi gi kwe.
32 It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."
Chiengʼ onogo jotich Isaka nobiro ire monyise kuom soko mane gisekunyo. Negiwachone niya, “Waseyudo pi!”
33 He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
Noluongo kanyo ni Shiba (tiende ni kar singruok) nyaka chil kawuono dalano osebed kiluongo ni Bersheba.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hethite.
Kane Esau ja-higni piero angʼwen, nokendo Judith nyar Beeri ma ja-Hiti, kod Basemath nyar Elon ma ja-Hiti.
35 They brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
Mon-go nomiyo Isaka kod Rebeka chuny lit.
