Genesis 26
1 And there came to be a famine in the land, besides the first famine which happened in the days of Abraham, —so Isaac went his way unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines towards Gerar;
Nʼoge a, ụnwụ dara nʼala ahụ. Ụnwụ a dị iche nʼụnwụ mbụ nke dara nʼoge Ebraham dị ndụ. Aịzik jekwuru Abimelek eze ndị Filistia nʼobodo Gera.
2 and Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, do not go down towards Egypt, —Make thy habitation in the land, which I may name unto thee:
Onyenwe anyị gosiri Aịzik onwe ya, sị, “Agakwala Ijipt; biri nʼala ahụ m sị gị biri nʼime ya.
3 Sojourn in this land, that I may be with thee and bless thee, —for, to thee, and to thy seed, will I give all these lands, So will I establish the oath which I sware to Abraham thy father;
Nọrọ nʼala a nwa oge nta, aga m anọnyere gị ma gọziekwa gị, nʼihi na gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ka m ga-enye ala ndị a niile. Aga m emezukwa iyi ahụ m ṅụrụ nye Ebraham nna gị.
4 and will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and will give to thy seed, all these lands, —And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in thy seed:
Aga m eme ka ụmụ ụmụ gị mụbaa, mee ka ha hie nne nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka kpakpando dị na mbara eluigwe. Ha ka m ga-enye ala ndị a niile. Aga m esite na mkpụrụ gị gọzie mba niile nke ụwa.
5 Because that Abraham hearkened unto my voice, —and so kept my charge, my commandments my statutes and my laws.
Ihe ndị a niile ka m ga-eme nʼihi na Ebraham rubere isi ime ihe m gwara ya, na idebe iwu m na ụkpụrụ m, na ịdọ aka na ntị m.”
6 So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
Ya mere, Aịzik nọgidere nʼobodo Gera.
7 Then asked the men of the place as to his wife, and he said, My sister, is she, —For he feared to say My wife, lest [said he] the men of the place should slay me on account of Rebekah, for fair to look on, she is.
Mgbe ndị obodo ahụ jụrụ ya banyere nwunye ya, ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ bụ nwanne m nwanyị.” Ọ tụrụ ụjọ ị sị ha, “Nwunye m ka ọ bụ,” O chere nʼobi ya sị, “Ndị ikom obodo a nwere ike gbuo m nʼihi Ribeka. Nʼihi na Ribeka nʼonwe ya mara mma ile anya.”
8 And it came to pass when the days had lengthened out to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines, looked out through the lattice of a window, —and he beheld and lo! Isaac—laughing with Rebekah his wife.
Mgbe Aịzik nọrọ ebe ahụ ogologo oge, Abimelek eze ndị Filistia, sitere na oghereikuku ya lepụ anya hụ Aịzik ka ọ nọ na-egwusa Ribeka nwunye ya egwu.
9 So Abimelech called for Isaac, and said, But lo she is, thy wife! How then, saidst thou, She is, my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because, I said, Lest I die on her account.
Ya mere, Abimelek kpọrọ Aịzik sị, “Nwunye gị ka ọ bụ nʼezie. Gịnị mere i ji gwa anyị na ọ bụ nwanne gị nwanyị?” Aịzik zara ya, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na m chere na-enwere ike igbu m nʼihi ya.”
10 Then, said, Abimelech, What is this thou hast done to us? A little more, and one of the people might have lien with thy wife, so shouldst thou have brought upon us, guilt.
Abimelek sịrị, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere anyị? Otu nwoke nʼetiti anyị gaara akpọrọ nwunye gị dinaa ya. Ị gaara esi otu a wetara anyị ikpe ọmụma.”
11 And Abimelech commanded all the people saying, —He that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely be put to death
Ya mere, Abimelek nyere ndị niile ya iwu, sị ha, “Onye ọbụla metụrụ nwoke a maọbụ nwunye ya aka, aghaghị ime ka ọ nwụọ.”
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year, a hundredfold, —seeing that Yahweh had blessed him.
Aịzik kụrụ mkpụrụ ubi nʼala ahụ. Nʼotu afọ ahụ kwa, o si nʼala ahụ webata ihe ubi narị okpukpu karịa nke ọ kụrụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị gọziri ya.
13 So the man waxed great, —and went on and on waxing great until that he had waxed exceeding great.
Nwoke a bara ụba, ghọọ ọgaranya. Akụnụba ya gara nʼihu na-amụba, tutu ruo mgbe ọ ghọrọ nnọọ onye ọgaranya a ma ama.
14 So he came to have possessions of flocks and possessions of herds, and a large body of servants, —and the Philistines envied him.
O nwere ọtụtụ igwe anụ ụlọ, na igwe ehi, na ndị ikom na-ejere ya ozi. Nʼihi ihe ndị a, ndị Filistia bidoro inwe anya ukwu megide ya.
15 And as for all the wells which the servants of his father digged, in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up, and filled them with dust.
Ndị Filistia wụjuru aja nʼolulu mmiri ndị ahụ niile ndị na-ejere nna ya ozi gwuru nʼoge nna ya Ebraham dị ndụ.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, —Get thee from us, for thou hast become far mightier than we.
Abimelek kpọrọ Aịzik sị ya, “Si nʼala a kwapụ gaa nʼebe ọzọ, nʼihi na ịba ụba gị na ịdị ike gị adịla ukwuu karịa nke anyị.”
17 So Isaac went from thence, —and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Ya mere Aịzik si nʼebe ahụ kwapụ, gaa maa ụlọ ikwu ya na Ndagwurugwu Gera, biri nʼebe ahụ.
18 And Isaac again digged the wells of water which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines stopped up after the death of Abraham, —and he called their names, after the names which his father called them.
O gwugharịkwara olulu mmiri ndị ahụ e gwuru nʼoge nna ya Ebraham, nke ndị Filistia kpojuru aja mgbe Ebraham nwụrụ, kpọọ olulu mmiri ndị a otu aha ahụ nna ya kpọrọ ha na mbụ.
19 And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, —and found there a well of living water.
Ọzọ, ndị na-ejere Aịzik ozi gwuru olulu mmiri ọhụrụ na ndagwurugwu Gera ahụ, gwute mmiri nke si nʼala na-asọpụta.
20 And the herdmen of Gerar disputed with the herdmen of Isaac saying, Ours, is the, water! So he called the name of the well Esek, because they had stirred up a quarrel with him.
Ma ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ obodo Gera sesịrị ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ Aịzik okwu. Ha kwuru sị, “Mmiri a bụ nke anyị!” Nke a mere Aịzik ji kpọọ olulu mmiri ahụ Esek, nʼihi ise okwu nke ha sesịrị ya.
21 And they digged another well, and they disputed over that also, —so he called the name thereof Sitnah.
Ha gwuru olulu mmiri ọzọ, ma ndị ahụ bịakwara ọzọ bido ịzọ ya. Nʼihi ya Aịzik kpọrọ olulu mmiri ahụ Sitna.
22 And he moved on from thence and digged another well, and they disputed not for it, —so he called the name thereof. Rehoboth, and said, For, now, hath Yahweh made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
O si nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa nʼebe ọzọ gwuo olulu mmiri ọzọ. Ma o nweghị ndị bịara zọọ ya. Nʼihi ya ọ kpọrọ olulu mmiri ahụ Rehobọt. O kwuru sị, “Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị enyela anyị ebe sara mbara, ebe ihe ga-anọ gaara anyị nke ọma.”
23 And he went up from thence, to Beer-sheba.
O sitere nʼebe ahụ kwapụ gaa Bịasheba.
24 And Yahweh appeared unto him the same night, and said, I, am the God of Abraham thy father, —Do not fear for with thee, am, I, And I will bless thee and multiply thy seed, For the sake of Abraham my servant.
Nʼabalị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọ hụ ya anya, sị ya, “Abụ m Chineke nna gị Ebraham. Atụla egwu, nʼihi na anọnyere m gị, aga m agọzi gị, mụbaa ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ ụmụ gị nʼihi ohu m Ebraham.”
25 So he builded there all altar and called on the name of Yahweh, and spread out there, his tent, —and the servants of Isaac cut out there a well.
Ya mere, o wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe ahụ kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị. Ọ makwara ụlọ ikwu ya nʼebe ahụ. Ndị na-ejere ya ozi gwukwara olulu mmiri.
26 And, Abimelech, came unto him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol, commander of his host.
Abimelek na Ahuzat, onye ndụmọdụ ya, na Fikọl onyeisi ndị agha ya sitere Gera jekwuru Aịzik.
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore have ye come in mite me, seeing that, ye, hated me, and sent me away from you?
Aịzik jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji bịakwute m, ebe ọ bụ na unu kpọrọ m asị, chụpụkwa m site nʼetiti unu?”
28 And they said: We, saw plainly, that Yahweh was with thee, so we said, Let there be we pray thee an oath betwixt us both, betwixt us and thee, —and let us solemnise a covenant with thee: —
Ha sị, “Anyị hụrụ nke ọma na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere gị, ya mere anyị ji sị, ‘O kwesiri ka ịṅụ iyi dị nʼetiti anyị na gị,’ ka anyị na gị gbaakwa ndụ
29 That, thou wilt not do wrong by us, according as we touched not thee, and according as we did by thee nothing but good, and then sent thee away in peace, thee who, now, art blessed of Yahweh!
na ị gaghị eme anyị ihe ọjọọ dịka anyị na-esighị mee gị ihe ọjọọ. I lezie anya nke ọma, ị ga-ahụ na anyị meere gị ihe ọma mgbe anyị hapụrụ gị ka ị laa nʼudo. Ugbu a, anyị maara na ị bụ onye Onyenwe anyị gọziri agọzi.”
30 So he made for them a banquet, and they did eat and drink, —
Aịzik meere ha mmemme nri dị ukwuu; ha riri, ṅụọkwa.
31 and rose up early in the morning, and took an oath each man to his brother, so Isaac let them go, and they departed from him in peace.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ndị ikom ahụ niile ṅụrịtaara onwe ha iyi ịgba ndụ. Aịzik zilagara ha, ha hapụrụ ya laa nʼudo.
32 And it came to pass, on the same day, that the servants of Isaac came in, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said to him, We have found water!
Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ kwa, ndị ohu Aịzik bịakwutere ya gwa ya banyere olulu mmiri ha na-egwu, sị ya, “Anyị achọtala mmiri nʼolulu ahụ anyị na-egwu.”
33 So he called it, Shibah. For this cause, hath the name of the city, been Beer-sheba, unto this day.
Ọ kpọrọ ya Shiba. Ọ bụkwa nke a mere e ji akpọ obodo ahụ Bịasheba ruo taa.
34 And when Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith, daughter of Beeri. the Hittite; and Basemath, daughter of Elon, the Hittite;
Mgbe Ịsọ gbara iri afọ anọ, ọ lụrụ Judit nwa Beiri, onye Het. Ọ lụkwara Basemat nwa Elọn, onye Het.
35 and they became a bitterness of spirit, to Isaac and to Rebekah.
Ha ghọrọ Aịzik na Ribeka ihe ọnọdụ obi ilu.
