Genesis 26
1 There was a famine in the land, in addition to the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Pea naʻe tō ʻae honge ki he fonua: ka ʻoku taha kehe ʻae ʻuluaki honge ʻaia naʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻEpalahame. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻAisake ki Kela kia ʻApimeleki ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
2 Yahweh appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke ʻalu hifo ki ʻIsipite: nofo ʻi he fonua ʻaia te u fakahā kiate koe.
3 Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
Ke ke nofomaʻu ʻi he fonua ni, pea teu ʻiate koe, pea te u tāpuakiʻi koe; he te u foaki kiate koe mo ho hako ʻae ngaahi fonua ni kotoa pē, pea te u fakamoʻoni ʻae fuakava ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ʻaki ki hoʻo tamai ko ʻEpalahame.
4 I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
Pea te u fakatupu ho hako ke tokolahi, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi; pea te u foaki ki ho hako ʻae ngaahi fonua ni kotoa pē; pea ʻe monūʻia ʻi ho hako ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani;
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
Koeʻuhi naʻe talangofua ʻa ʻEpalahame ki hoku leʻo, mo ne maʻu ʻeku tala, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, mo ʻeku tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fono.”
6 Isaac lived in Gerar.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻAisake ʻi Kela.
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.”
Pea fehuʻi kiate ia ʻae kakai tangata ʻoe potu ko ia, ki hono uaifi: pea pehē ʻe ia, ko hoku tuofefine ia; he naʻe manavahē ia ke pehē atu, ‘Ko hoku uaifi ia;’ he naʻa ne pehē, telia naʻa tāmateʻi au ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe potu ni, koeʻuhi ko Lepeka; he naʻe hoihoifua ia ke mamata ki ai.
8 When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
Pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi ai ʻo fuoloa; pea ʻiloange, naʻe fakasio ʻa ʻApimeleki ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai Filisitia, mei he tupa, ʻo ne mamata ʻoku fakavā ʻa ʻAisake mo Lepeka ko hono uaifi.
9 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die because of her.’”
Pea fekau ʻe ʻApimeleki ke haʻu ʻa ʻAisake, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko e moʻoni ko ho uaifi ia; pea ko e hā naʻa ke pehē ai, ko hoku tuofefine ia?” Pea talaange ʻe ʻAisake kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi naʻaku pehē, telia naʻaku mate koeʻuhi ko ia.”
10 Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!”
Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni kuo ke fai kiate kimautolu? Ka ne mohe faainoa ha tokotaha mo ho uaifi; pehē kuo ke ʻomi ʻae kovi lahi kiate kimautolu.”
11 Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
Pea fai fono ʻe ʻApimeleki ki hono kakai, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ʻe ala ki he tangata ni, pe ko hono uaifi, ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.”
12 Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him.
Pea naʻe toki tō taʻu ʻe ʻAisake ʻi he fonua ko ia, pea ne utu ʻi he taʻu ko ia hono tupu ʻe tā tuʻo teau: pea naʻe tāpuaki ia ʻe Sihova.
13 The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
Pea naʻe tupu pe ʻae tangata, pea fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa ia, pea ne tupu ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
He naʻa ne maʻu ʻae fanga sipi lahi, mo e fanga manu, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki tokolahi; pea naʻe meheka ʻae kakai Filisitia kiate ia.
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.
He ko e ngaahi vai kehekehe naʻe keli ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻene tamai, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻEpalahame, naʻe mapuni ia ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻi hono tanu ʻaki ʻae kelekele.
16 Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻAisake, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻiate kimautolu; he ʻoku ke mālohi hake koe ʻiate kimautolu.”
17 Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
Pea ʻalu mei ai ʻa ʻAisake, pea fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Kela, pea nofo ai ia.
18 Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Pea naʻe toe keli ʻe ʻAisake ʻae ngaahi vai, ʻaia naʻa nau keli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻEpalahame: he naʻe tanu ia ʻe he kakai Filisitia, hili ʻae pekia ʻa ʻEpalahame: pea ne ui ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi hingoa, ʻaia naʻe fakahingoa ʻaki ia ʻe heʻene tamai.
19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
Pea naʻe keli ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he teleʻa ʻo nau ʻilo ai ʻae matavai moʻui.
20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
Pea fakakikihi ʻe he kau tangata tauhimanu ʻa Kela, mo e kau tauhimanu ʻa ʻAisake, ʻo nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻamautolu ʻae vai;” pea ne ui hono hingoa ʻoe vai, ‘ko Eseki;’ ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ke mo ia.
21 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. So he called its name Sitnah.
Pea naʻa nau keli ʻae vai ʻe taha, pea nau fakakikihi ki ai foki; pea ne ui hono hingoa ʻo ia ko Sitina.
22 He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. So he called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
Pea hiki mei ai ia ʻo keli ʻae vai ʻe taha; pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fakakikihi ki ai; pea ne ui hono hingoa ʻo ia ko Leopote; pea ne pehē, “He ko eni, kuo fakaʻataʻatā ʻe Sihova ha potu kiate kitautolu, pea te tau tupu ʻi he fonua.”
23 He went up from there to Beersheba.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai ki Peasipa.
24 Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.”
Pea hā mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia ʻi he pō ko ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e ʻOtua au ʻo hoʻo tamai ko ʻEpalahame; ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, he ʻoku ou ʻiate koe, pea te u tāpuaki koe, pea fakatokolahi ho hako, koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame.”
25 He built an altar there, and called on Yahweh’s name, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac’s servants dug a well.
Pea fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau ʻo ne hū kia Sihova, pea fokotuʻu ʻe ia hono fale fehikitaki ʻi ai; pea keli ʻi ai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAisake ʻae vai.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻApimeleki kiate ia mei Kela, pea mo hono kāinga ʻe taha ko ʻAhusate, mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki ʻo ʻene kautau.
27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?”
Pea pehē ʻe ʻAisake kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou haʻu ai kiate au, ka ʻoku mou fehiʻa kiate au, pea kuo mou kapusi au meiate kimoutolu.”
28 They said, “We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let’s make a covenant with you,
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Naʻa mau mamata pau kuo ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova; pea naʻa mau pehē, ‘Ke tau fefuakavaʻaki mo koe, ʻio, ʻiate kitautolu mo koe, pea ke tau fai ʻae fuakava mo koe;’
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 Yahweh.”
Ke ʻoua naʻa ke fai kovi kiate kimautolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau taʻeala kiate koe, pea kuo mau fai lelei pe kiate koe, pea mau tuku koe ke ke ʻalu fiemālie: pea ko eni, ko e monūʻia koe ʻia Sihova.”
30 He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Pea naʻe teu ʻe ia hanau kātoanga, pea naʻa nau kai mo inu.
31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to one another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Pea nau tuʻu hengihengi hake mo nau fefuakavaʻaki: pea naʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻAisake, pea naʻa nau ʻalu ʻiate ia ʻi he fiemālie.
32 The same day, Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.”
Pea naʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae haʻu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAisake, ʻo nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae vai kuo nau keli, ʻo nau pehē kiate ia, “Kuo mau ʻilo ʻae vai.”
33 He called it “Shibah”. Therefore the name of the city is “Beersheba” to this day.
Pea ne ui ia ko Sipa; ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae kolo ko ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ko Peasipa.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Pea naʻe fāngofulu ʻae taʻu ʻa ʻIsoa, pea ne maʻu kiate ia ʻa Sutiti ko hono uaifi, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Peli ko e [tangata Heti], mo Pasimati ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻElone ko e [tangata ]Heti.
35 They grieved Isaac’s and Rebekah’s spirits.
Ko e meʻa ko ia, naʻe mamahi ai ʻae loto ʻo ʻAisake mo Lepeka.
