Genesis 26
1 Some time later there was a severe (famine/scarcity of food) there. That was different from the famine that occurred when Abraham was alive. So Isaac went [southeast] to Gerar [town, to talk] to Abimelech, the king of the Philistine people-group. [What happened was this: Isaac considered going to Egypt],
HE wi no ma ia aina, he okoa ka wi mua i hiki mai ai i ka wa ia Aberahama. A hele aku la o Isaaka io Abimeleka la, i ke alii o ko Pilisetia ma Gerara.
2 but Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt! Live in the land where I will tell you to go!
Ikea aku la o Iehova e ia, i mai La, Mai hele oe ilalo i Aigupita, E noho iho ma ka aina a'u e hai aku ai ia oe:
3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will help you and bless you, because it is to you and your descendants that I will give all these lands, and I will do what I solemnly promised to your father.
E noho oe ma keia aina, a me oe pu no wau, a e hoopomaikai aku no wau ia oe: no ka mea, e haawi aku auanei au nou, a no kau poe mamo i keia mau aina a pau; a e hooko auanei au i ka hoohiki ana a'u i hoohiki ai i kou makuakane ia Aberahama.
4 I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as the stars in the sky. I will give to your descendants all these lands, and I will cause your descendants to be a blessing to the people of [MTY] all nations on the earth.
A e hoonui aku au i kau poe mamo e like me na hoku o ka lani, a e haawi aku. no wau i keia mau aina a pau no kau poe mamo; a i kau mamo e hoopomaikaiia'i na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua:
5 I will do that because your father Abraham obeyed me. He obeyed everything that I told him to do, everything that I declared and all the laws that I gave him.” So Isaac [went and asked King Abimelech if he would permit him to live in the Gerar area. The king said, “Okay,”]
No ka mea, i hoolohe mai no o Aberahama i ko'u leo, a i malama hoi i ka'u mau kauoha, i ka'u mau olelo, a me ko'u mau kanawai.
6 [so Isaac] stayed there [along with his wife and sons].
A noho iho la o Isaaka ma Gerara.
7 When the men in Gerar [town] asked who Rebekah was, Isaac said, “She is my sister.” He said that because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “Rebekah is very beautiful, so they will want her. [If I say that she is my sister, they know they will have to negotiate about a bride price because I am her older brother; but if I say that she is my wife, no negotiation will be possible]. They will just kill me to get her.”
Ninau mai la na kanaka o ia wahi ia ia no kana wahine; i aku la ia, O ko'u kaikuwahine no ia: no ka mea, makau iho la ia i ka i aku, Oia ka'u wahine; o pepehi mai na kanaka o ia wahi ia'u no Rebeka; no ka mea, he maikai ia ke nanaia'ku.
8 When Isaac had been there a long time, one day Abimelech, the king of the Philistine people-group, looked down from a window [in his palace] and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
Ia ia i noho ai ma ia wahi a liuliu, nana mai la o Abimeleka o ke alii o ko Pilisetia, ma ka puka makani, ike mai la ia, aia hoi, o Isaaka e lealea ana me kana wahine, me Rebeka.
9 So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said to him, “Now I realize that she is really your wife! So why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied to him, “I said that because I thought that someone here might kill me to get her.”
Hea mai la o Abimeleka ia Isaaka, i mai la, Aia hoi, he oiaio no, o kau wahine no ia; a pehea hoi oe i olelo mai ai, O ko'u kaikuwahine ia? I aku la o Isaaka ia ia, No ka mea, i iho la au, E make paha uanei au nona.
10 Abimelech said, “(You should not have done this to us!/Why did you do this?) [RHQ] One of our people might have (had sex with/slept with) [EUP] your wife, and you would have caused us to be guilty of a great sin!”
I mai la o Abimeleka, Heaha keia au i hana mai ai ia makou? Ina i moe wale paha kekahi o na kanaka me kau wahine, ina ua hooili mai oe i ka hala maluna o makou.
11 Then Abimelech commanded all his people, saying, “Do not harm/molest this man or his wife! Anyone who does that will surely be executed!”
Kauoha aku o Abimeleka i na kanaka a pau, i ka i ana, O ka mea hoopa aku i keia kanaka, a i kana wahine paha, he oiaio e make ia.
12 Isaac planted grain in that land that year, and he harvested a very large crop, because Yahweh blessed him.
Lulu hua iho la o Isaaka ma ia aina, a loaa pahaneri mai la ia ia ia makahiki: a hoopomaikai mai la o Iehova ia ia.
13 Isaac continued to acquire more and more possessions, until finally he became very wealthy.
Lilo ae la ua kanaka la i mea nui, mahuahua ae la ia, ulu ae la, a lilo i kanaka nui loa:
14 He had large herds of sheep and goats and cattle, and many slaves. Because of that, the Philistine people envied him.
No ka mea, nana na hipa, a me na bipi, a me na kanaka he nui loa: a huahuwa mai la ko Pilisetia ia ia.
15 So all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug during the time when he was alive, the people filled up with dirt.
A o na punawai a pau i eliia e na kauwa a kona makuakane, i ka wa ia Aberahama, huna ae la ko Pilisetia ia mau mea i ka hoopiha i ka lepo.
16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “You people have become more numerous than we are, so I want you to get out of our area.”
Olelo mai la o Abimeleka ia Isaaka, E hele aku oe mai o makou aku, no ka mea, ua nui loa aku kau, i ka makou.
17 So Isaac [and his family] moved from there. They set up their tents in Gerar Valley [and started to live there].
Hele aku la o Isaaka, a kukulu iho la i kona halelewa ma ke awawa o Gerara, a noho iho la ilaila.
18 There were several wells in that area that had been dug when Isaac’s father Abraham was living, but Philistine people had filled them up [with dirt] after Abraham died. Now Isaac and his servants removed the dirt, and Isaac gave the wells the same names that his father had given to them.
Eli hou iho la o Isaaka i na luawai a lakou i eli iho ai i ka wa ia Aberahama o kona makuakane; no ka mea, ua huna iho ko Pilisetia ia mau mea mahope o ka make ana o Aberahama: a kapa iho la ia i ko lakou mau inoa, ma na inoa a kona makuakane i kapa iho ai.
19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water.
Eli iho la na kanwa a Isaaka ma ke awawa, a loaa iho la ka punawai ilaila, he wai mau.
20 But other men who lived in Gerar [Valley] who took care of their animals argued/quarreled with the men who took care of Isaac’s animals, and said, “The water in this well is ours!” So Isaac named the well Esek, which means ‘dispute’, because they disputed about who owned it.
Hakaka mai la na kahu bipi no Gerara me na kahu bipi o Isaaka, i ka i ana mai, No makou ia wai: a kapa iho la ia i ka inoa o ua luawai la, o Eseka, no ko lakou hakaka ana mai me ia.
21 Then Isaac’s servants dug another well, but they quarreled about who owned that one also. So Isaac named it Sitnah, [which means ‘opposition]’.
Eli iho la hoi lakou i ka luawai hou, a hakaka mai no hoi lakou no ia mea: a kapa iho la oia i kona inoa, o Sitena.
22 They moved on from there and dug another well, but this time no one quarreled about who owned it. So Isaac named it Rehoboth, [which means ‘uninhabited place’], saying, “Yahweh has given us an uninhabited place to live in, a place that is not wanted by other people, and we will become very prosperous here.”
Neenee aku la ia mai ia wahi aku, a eli iho la i ka luawai hou; aole no lakou i hakaka mai no ia mea: a kapa iho la oia i kona inoa, o i Rehobota: i iho la ia, ano hoi, ua haawi mai o Iehova i kahi akea no kakou; a e hoohua auanei kakou ma ka aina.
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba.
A mahope aku, pii aku la ia malaila aku a Beereseba.
24 The first night that he was there, Yahweh appeared to him and said, “I am God, whom your father Abraham worshiped. Do not be afraid of anything. I will help you and bless you, and because of what I promised my servant Abraham, I will greatly increase the number of your descendants.”
Ikea ae la o Iehova e ia ia po iho, i mai la, Owau no ke Akua o Aberahama o kou makuakane: mai makau oe, owau no me oe, a e hoopomaikai no au ia oe a e hoonui hoi i kau poe mamo no ka'u kauwa, no Aberahama.
25 So Isaac built a stone altar there [and offered a sacrifice] to worship Yahweh. He [and his servants] set up their tents there, and his servants started to dig a well.
Hana iho la ia i kuahu malaila, a kahea aku la ia i ka inoa o Iehova, a kukulu iho la i kona halelewa ilaila: ilaila hoi na kauwa a Isaaka i eli iho ai i ka luawai.
26 [While they were digging the well], King Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, along with Ahuzzath, his advisor, and Phicol, the commander of his army.
Alaila, hele mai la io na la o Abimeleka mai Gerara mai, oia me Ahuzata kekahi hoalauna ona, a me Pikola ka luna koa o kona poe kaua.
27 Isaac asked them, “You (acted in a hostile way toward me/treated me like an enemy) before, and sent me away. So why have you come to me now?”
I aku la o Isaaka ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou i hele mai ai io'u nei, no ka mea, ke inaina mai nei oukou ia'u, a ua hookuke mai nei oukou ia'u mai o oukou aku.
28 One of them answered, “We have seen that Yahweh helps you. So we said to each other, ‘We should have an agreement between us and you. We should make a peace treaty with you,
Olelo mai la lakou, Ua ike io makou, aia no o Iehova me oe: olelo ae la makou, I hoohiki ana mawaena o kakou, o makou nei, a on la, a e hoopaa makou i berita me oe;
29 stating that you will not harm us, in the same way that we did not molest [EUP] you.’ We always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now Yahweh is blessing you.”
I hana ino ole mai oe ia makou, me makou i hoopa ole aku ai ia oe, o ka maikai wale no ka makou i hana aku ai ia oe, a ua hoihoi aku ia oe me ka maluhia: o oe io no ka mea i hoopomaikaiia e Iehova.
30 So Isaac made a feast for them, and they all ate and drank.
Hana iho la ia i ahaaina na lakou, ai iho la lakou a inu hoi.
31 Early the next morning they all (swore/solemnly promised) each other that they would do what they had promised. Then Isaac sent them home peacefully.
Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, a hoohiki iho la laua, i kekahi i kekahi: hookuu aku la o Isaaka ia lakou, a hoi hou aku la lakou mai ona aku la me ke kuikahi.
32 That day Isaac’s servants came to him and told him about the well that they had finished digging. They said, “We found water in the well!”
Ia la hookahi no, hele mai la na kauwa a Isaaka, a hai mai la ia ia no ka luawai a lakou i eli iho ai, i mai la ia ia, Ua loaa ia makou ka wai.
33 Isaac named the well Shibah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘oath’]. To the present time the town there has the name Beersheba [which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’].
Kapa iho la oia ia wahi, o Seba: nolaila, o Beereseba ka inoa o ia kulanakauhale a hiki i keia la.
34 When Esau was 40 years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon. Both of those women were descendants of Heth, [not from Isaac’s clan].
Hookahi kanaha na makahiki o Esau ia ia i lawe ai ia Iehudita ke kaikamahine a Beeri no ka Heta, a me Basemata ke kaikamahine a Elona no ka Heta, i mau wahine nana:
35 Esau’s two wives made life miserable for Isaac and Rebekah.
He mau mea ehaeha laua no ka naau o Isaaka a me Rebeka.
