Genesis 26
1 Now a famine happened in the land, besides the first famine that had been in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines at Gerar.
Na ka matekai te whenua, haunga te matekai tuatahi i puta mai i nga ra o Aperahama. A ka haere a Ihaka ki a Apimereke, kingi o nga Pirihitini, ki Kerara.
2 Now Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land that I tell you to live in.
Na ka puta mai a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea, Kaua e haere ki raro, ki Ihipa; e noho ki te whenua e korero ai ahau ki a koe:
3 Stay in this very 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 fulfill the oath that I swore to Abraham your father.
E noho i tenei whenua, a ka tata ahau ki a koe, ka manaaki hoki i a koe; ka hoatu nei hoki e ahau enei whenua katoa ki a koutou ko ou uri, a ka whakapumautia te oati i oati ai ahau ki a Aperahama, ki tou papa;
4 I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and will give to your descendants all these lands. Through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed.
A ka whakanuia e ahau ou uri kia pera me nga whetu o te rangi, ka hoatu hoki e ahau enei whenua katoa ki ou uri; a ma tou uri ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua;
5 I will do this because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my instructions, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
No te mea i rongo a Aperahama ki toku reo, i mau ki aku ako, ki aku whakahau, ki aku tikanga, ki aku ture.
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
Na ka noho a Ihaka i Kerara:
7 When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” He feared to say, “She is my wife,” because he thought, “The men of this place will kill me to get Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”
A ka ui nga tangata o taua wahi ki tana wahine; a ka mea ia, Ko toku tuahine ia: i wehi hoki ia, te mea ai, Ko taku wahine; i mea hoki, Kei patua ahau e nga tangata o tenei wahi mo Ripeka; he ataahua hoki ia ki te titiro atu.
8 After Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines happened to look out of a window. He saw, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
A ka maha ona ra ki reira, ka titiro atu a Apimereke, kingi o nga Pirihitini, i te matapihi, a ka kite, na, ko Ihaka e takaro ana ki a Ripeka, ki tana wahine.
9 Abimelech called Isaac to him and said, “Look, certainly she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?” Isaac said to him, “Because I thought someone might kill me to get her.”
Na ka karangatia e Apimereke a Ihaka, ka mea atu, Koia ano, ko tau wahine tonu ia: na te aha koe i mea ia, Ko taku tuahine ia? Ka mea a Ihaka ki a ia, I mea hoki ahau, Kei mate ahau mona.
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 upon us.”
Na ka mea a Apimereke, He aha tenei mahi au ki a matou? wahi iti kua takoto tetahi o te iwi nei ki tau wahine, a kua takina mai e koe he hara ki runga ki a matou.
11 So Abimelech warned all the people and said, “Whoever touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
Na ka whakatupato a Apimereke ki tona iwi katoa, ka mea, Ko te tangata e pa ki tenei tangata, ki tana wahine ranei, he pono ka mate ia.
12 Isaac planted crops in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold, because Yahweh blessed him.
A i rui a Ihaka ki taua whenua, a maea ake i taua tau ano kotahi rau: i manaakitia hoki ia e Ihowa:
13 The man became rich, and grew more and more until he became very great.
Na ka kake taua tangata, ka tino nui haere, no ka nui noa ake ia:
14 He had many sheep and cattle, and a large household. The Philistines envied him.
A ka whiwhi ia i nga kahui hipi, i nga kahui kau, i te tini o te pononga: a ka hae nga Pirihitini ki a ia.
15 Now all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up by filling them with earth.
Na ko nga poka katoa i keria e nga pononga a tona papa i nga ra o Aperahama, o tona papa, i tanumia era e nga Pirihitini, i whakakiia hoki ki te oneone.
16 Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
Na ka mea a Apimereke ki a Ihaka, Haere atu i roto i a matou; he kaha rawa hoki koe i a matou.
17 So Isaac departed from there and settled in the Valley of Gerar, and lived there.
Na haere atu ana a Ihaka i reira, a whakaturia ana tona puni ki te awaawa o Kerara, a noho ana i reira.
18 Once again Isaac dug out the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. The Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham's death. Isaac called the wells by the same names that his father had called them.
Na ka keria ano e Ihaka nga poka wai i keria ra i nga ra o Aperahama, o tona papa; i tanumia hoki e nga Pirihitini i muri i te matenga o Aperahama: a huaina ana e ia hei ingoa mo aua poka ko nga ingoa i huaina iho e tona papa.
19 When Isaac's servants dug in the valley, they found there a well of flowing water.
Na ka keri nga pononga a Ihaka ki te awaawa, a ka kitea e ratou i reira he puna manawa whenua.
20 The herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, and said, “This water is ours.” So Isaac called that well “Esek,” because they had quarreled with him.
Na ka tautohe nga hepara o Kerara ki nga hepara a Ihaka, ka mea, Na matou tenei wai: a huaina ana e ia te ingoa o te poka ko Eheke; mo ratou hoki i whakatetete ki a ia.
21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that, too, so he gave it the name of “Sitnah.”
Na ka keri ratou i tetahi atu poka, ka tautohetia ano tera e ratou: a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Hitina.
22 He left there and dug yet another well, but they did not quarrel over that one. So he called it Rehoboth, and he said, “Now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”
Na ka neke atu ia i reira, a ka keri i tetahi atu poka; kihai tera i tautohetia e ratou: na ka huaina e ia tona ingoa ko Rehopoto; i mea hoki ia, Katahi nei hoki a Ihowa ka whakawatea i tetahi nohoanga mo tatou, a ka hua tatou ki runga ki te whe nua.
23 Then Isaac went up from there to Beersheba.
Na ka haere atu ia i reira ki runga, ki Peerehepa.
24 Yahweh appeared to him that same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not fear, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants, for my servant Abraham's sake.”
A ka puta mai a Ihowa ki a ia i taua po ano, ka mea, Ko ahau te Atua o Aperahama, o tou papa: kaua e wehi, kei a koe nei hoki ahau, a ka manaaki ahau i a koe, ka whakanui hoki i ou uri, he whakaaro ki a Aperahama, ki taku pononga.
25 Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of Yahweh. There he pitched his tent, and his servants dug a well.
Na ka hanga e ia he aata ki reira, a ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa, a whakaturia ana hoki e ia tona teneti ki reira: a ka keria tetahi poka ki reira e nga pononga a Ihaka.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the captain of his army.
Na ka haere mai a Apimereke i Kerara ki a ia, ratou ko Ahutata ko tetahi o ona hoa, ko Pikora hoki, ko te rangatira o tana ope.
27 Isaac said to them, “Why are you coming to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?”
A ka mea a Ihaka ki a ratou, I haere mai koutou ki ahau ki te aha, ina hoki kua kino koutou ki ahau, kua pei hoki i ahau i roto i a koutou?
28 Then they said, “We have clearly seen that Yahweh has been with you. So we decided that there should be an oath between us, yes, between us and you. So let us make a covenant with you,
A ka mea ratou, I kite marama matou, kei a koe a Ihowa: koia matou i mea ai, Kia takoto aianei he oati ki waenganui i a tatou, ki waenganui o matou, ou, kia whakarite kawenata hoki matou ki a koe;
29 that you will do us no harm, just as we have not harmed you, and as we have treated you well and have sent you away in peace. Indeed, you are blessed by Yahweh.”
Kia kaua koe e tukino i a matou, kia penei me matou kihai nei i pa ki a koe, kihai hoki i aha ki a koe, heoi ko te pai anake, i ata tuku ano i a koe: inaianei ko koe te manaakitanga a Ihowa.
30 So Isaac made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
Na ka tukua e ia he hakari ma ratou, a ka kai ratou, ka inu.
31 They rose early in the morning and swore an oath with each other. Then Isaac sent them away, and they left him in peace.
Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, ka oati ratou tetahi ki tetahi: a tukua ana ratou e Ihaka kia haere, a hoki marie atu ana ratou i a ia.
32 That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well that they had dug. They said, “We have found water.”
A i taua rangi ano ka haere mai nga pononga a Ihaka, ka korero ki a ia i te poka i keria e ratou, a ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e matou he wai.
33 He called the well Shibah, so the name of that city is Beersheba to this day.
A huaina iho e ia taua poka ko Hepaha: no kona te ingoa o tena pa, o Peerehepa, a mohoa noa nei.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he took a wife, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
A, ka wha tekau nga tau o Ehau, ka tango ia i a Iuriti tamahine a Peeri Hiti, hei wahine mana, rauako Pahemata tamahine a Erona Hiti:
35 They brought sorrow to Isaac and Rebekah.
A ka waiho raua hei mea pouri ki nga ngakau o Ihaka raua ko Ripeka.
