Genesis 26
1 And there is a famine in the land, besides the first famine which was in the days of Abraham, and Isaac goeth unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwagĩire ngʼaragu ĩngĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũcio, tiga ĩrĩa ya mbere ya hĩndĩ ya Iburahĩmu, nake Isaaka agĩthiĩ Gerari kũrĩ Abimeleku mũthamaki wa Afilisti.
2 And Jehovah appeareth unto him, and saith, 'Go not down towards Egypt, tabernacle in the land concerning which I speak unto thee,
Jehova akiumĩrĩra Isaaka, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũgaikũrũke ũthiĩ Misiri; tũũra bũrũri o ũrĩa ndĩrĩkwĩra ũtũũre.
3 sojourn in this land, and I am with thee, and bless thee, for to thee and to thy seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to Abraham thy father;
Ikara bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ kwa ihinda, na nĩngũkorwo hamwe nawe na nĩngũkũrathima. Nĩgũkorwo nĩwe na njiaro ciaku ngũhe mabũrũri maya mothe na hingie mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa ndehĩtire kũrĩ thoguo Iburahĩmu.
4 and I have multiplied thy seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to thy seed all these lands; and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth;
Nĩngatũma njiaro ciaku cingĩhe ta njata cia matu-inĩ na nĩngamahe mabũrũri maya mothe, na nĩ ũndũ wa rũciaro rwaku, ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ nĩikarathimwo,
5 because that Abraham hath hearkened to My voice, and keepeth My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.'
tondũ Iburahĩmu nĩanjathĩkĩire na akĩrũmia ũrĩa ndendaga, akĩrũmĩrĩra maathani makwa, na matuĩro makwa ma kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho makwa.”
6 And Isaac dwelleth in Gerar;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Isaaka agĩikara o kũu Gerari.
7 and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith, 'She [is] my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, 'My wife — lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is] of good appearance.'
Rĩrĩa andũ a kũu maamũririe ũhoro wa mũtumia wake-rĩ, we akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mwarĩ wa baba,” tondũ nĩetigĩrire kuuga, “Nĩ mũtumia wakwa.” Eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Andũ a gũkũ mahota kũnjũraga nĩ ũndũ wa Rebeka, tondũ aarĩ mũthaka.”
8 And it cometh to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looketh through the window, and seeth, and lo, Isaac is playing with Rebekah his wife.
Na thuutha wa Isaaka arĩkĩtie gũikara kũu kahinda karaihu-rĩ, Abimeleku mũthamaki wa Afilisti nĩacũthĩrĩirie nja na ndirica, nake akĩona Isaaka akĩhambata mũtumia wake Rebeka.
9 And Abimelech calleth for Isaac, and saith, 'Lo, she [is] surely thy wife; and how hast thou said, She [is] my sister?' and Isaac saith unto him, 'Because I said, Lest I die for her.'
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Abimeleku agĩtũmanĩra Isaaka, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ũyũ nĩ mũtumia waku! Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire uuge atĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩ mwarĩ wa baba’?” Isaaka akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tondũ ndeciiririe ndahota kũũragwo nĩ ũndũ wake.”
10 And Abimelech saith, 'What [is] this thou hast done to us? as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us guilt;'
Ningĩ Abimeleku akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa ũguo ũtwĩkĩte? Ĩ mũndũ mũrũme ũmwe wa gũkũ angĩrakorirwo akomete na mũtumia waku, nawe ũgĩtũme tũnyiitwo nĩ ihĩtia?”
11 and Abimelech commandeth all the people, saying, 'He who cometh against this man or against his wife, dying doth die.'
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Abimeleku akĩruta watho kũrĩ andũ othe, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩthĩĩnia mũndũ ũyũ kana mũtumia wake no kũũragwo akooragwo.”
12 And Isaac soweth in that land, and findeth in that year a hundredfold, and Jehovah blesseth him;
Nake Isaaka akĩhaanda irio bũrũri ũcio, na mwaka o ro ũcio akĩgetha maita igana, tondũ Jehova nĩamũrathimire.
13 and the man is great, and goeth on, going on and becoming great, till that he hath been very great,
Nake Isaaka agĩtonga, naguo ũtonga wake ũgĩthiĩ o ũkĩingĩhaga o nginya agĩtonga mũno.
14 and he hath possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy him,
Aarĩ na ndũũru nyingĩ cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe, na ndungata nyingĩ, o nginya Afilisti makĩmũiguĩra ũiru.
15 and all the wells which his father's servants digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines have stopped them, and fill them with dust.
Tondũ ũcio, ithima iria ciothe ndungata cia ithe cienjete hĩndĩ ya ithe Iburahĩmu-rĩ, Afilisti magĩcithika, magĩciyũria tĩĩri.
16 And Abimelech saith unto Isaac, 'Go from us; for thou hast become much mightier than we;'
Ningĩ Abimeleku akĩĩra Isaaka atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra ũthiĩ, ũtweherere, tondũ nĩũgĩĩte na hinya mũno gũtũkĩra.”
17 and Isaac goeth from thence, and encampeth in the valley of Gerar, and dwelleth there;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Isaaka agĩthaama, akĩehera kũu, agĩthiĩ kwamba hema Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Gerari, na agĩtũũra kuo.
18 and Isaac turneth back, and diggeth the wells of water which they digged in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines do stop after the death of Abraham, and he calleth to them names according to the names which his father called them.
Isaaka agĩthikũria ithima iria cienjetwo hĩndĩ ya ithe Iburahĩmu, o icio Afilisti maathikĩte thuutha wa Iburahĩmu gũkua, na agĩciĩta marĩĩtwa o marĩa ithe aacihete.
19 And Isaac's servants dig in the valley, and find there a well of living water,
Na rĩrĩ, ndungata cia Isaaka nĩcienjire kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ na igĩkora gĩthima kĩa maaĩ mega kuo.
20 and shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, 'The water [is] ours;' and he calleth the name of the well 'Strife,' because they have striven habitually with him;
No rĩrĩ, arĩithi a Gerari makĩnegenania na arĩithi a Isaaka, makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Maaĩ maya nĩ maitũ!” Nake agĩĩta gĩthima kĩu Eseku, tondũ nĩmakararanirie nake.
21 and they dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calleth its name 'Hatred.'
Ningĩ ndungata icio ciake ikĩenja gĩthima kĩngĩ, no-o nakĩo makĩnegenanĩria, nake Isaaka agĩgĩĩta Sitina.
22 And he removeth from thence, and diggeth another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calleth its name Enlargements, and saith, 'For — now hath Jehovah given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.'
Nake agĩthaama kũu, agĩthiĩ akĩenja gĩthima kĩngĩ, na matianegenanirie na mũndũ. Nake agĩgĩĩta Rehobothu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu Jehova nĩatũheete ũikaro mũiganu, na nĩtũgũtheeremera bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ.”
23 And he goeth up from thence [to] Beer-Sheba,
Agĩcooka akiuma kũu, agĩthiĩ Birishiba.
24 and Jehovah appeareth unto him during that night, and saith, 'I [am] the God of Abraham thy father, fear not, for I [am] with thee, and have blessed thee, and have multiplied thy seed, because of Abraham My servant;'
Ũtukũ ũcio aakinyire kũu, Jehova akĩmuumĩrĩra, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Ngai wa thoguo Iburahĩmu. Ndũkanetigĩre, tondũ ndĩ hamwe nawe; nĩngũkũrathima na nyingĩhie njiaro ciaku nĩ ũndũ wa Iburahĩmu ndungata yakwa.”
25 and he buildeth there an altar, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah, and stretcheth out there his tent, and there Isaac's servants dig a well.
Isaaka agĩaka kĩgongona kũu, na agĩkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova. Akĩamba hema yake o kũu, nacio ndungata ciake ikĩenja gĩthima o kuo.
26 And Abimelech hath gone unto him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol head of his host;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Abimeleku agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Isaaka oimĩte Gerari, marĩ na Ahuzathu ũrĩa wamũtaaraga, na Fikolu mũnene wa ita ciake.
27 and Isaac saith unto them, 'Wherefore have ye come unto me, and ye have hated me, and ye send me away from you?'
Isaaka akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Muoka kũrĩ niĩ nĩkĩ, kuona atĩ nĩmwathũũrire na mũkĩnyingata?”
28 And they say, 'We have certainly seen that Jehovah hath been with thee, and we say, 'Let there be, we pray thee, an oath between us, between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩtuonete hatarĩ nganja atĩ Jehova arĩ hamwe nawe, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio tuoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kwagĩrĩire tũgĩe na mwĩhĩtwa wa ũiguano gatagatĩ gaitũ’: ĩĩ, gatagatĩ gaitũ nawe. Reke tũgĩe na kĩrĩkanĩro nawe,
29 do not evil with us, as we have not touched thee, and as we have only done good with thee, and send thee away in peace; thou [art] now blessed of Jehovah.'
atĩ ndũgatwĩka ũũru, o ta ũrĩa o na ithuĩ tũtaagũthĩĩnirie, no hĩndĩ ciothe twagwĩkaga wega, na tũgĩkumagaria ũthiĩ na thayũ. Na rĩu nĩũrathimĩtwo nĩ Jehova.”
30 And he maketh for them a banquet, and they eat and drink,
Isaaka akĩmarugithĩria iruga, nao makĩrĩa na makĩnyua.
31 and rise early in the morning, and swear one to another, and Isaac sendeth them away, and they go from him in peace.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, rũciinĩ tene, andũ acio na Isaaka makĩĩhĩtanĩra mwĩhĩtwa mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ. Isaaka agĩcooka akĩmoimagaria, magĩĩthiĩra, makĩmũtiga na thayũ.
32 And it cometh to pass during that day that Isaac's servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances of the well which they have digged, and say to him, 'We have found water;'
Mũthenya o ro ũcio maathiire, ndungata cia Isaaka igĩũka, ĩkĩmwĩra ũhoro wa gĩthima kĩrĩa cienjete, ikiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwakinyĩra maaĩ!”
33 and he calleth it Shebah, [oath, ] therefore the name of the city [is] Beer-Sheba, [well of the oath, ] unto this day.
Nake agĩĩta gĩthima kĩu Shiba, na nginya ũmũthĩ itũũra rĩu rĩtũũraga rĩĩtagwo Birishiba.
34 And Esau is a son of forty years, and he taketh a wife, Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite,
Esaũ aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, akĩhikia Judithi mwarĩ wa Beeri ũrĩa Mũhiti, o na ningĩ akĩhikia Basemathu mwarĩ wa Eloni ũrĩa Mũhiti.
35 and they are a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
Nao magĩtuĩka kĩhumo gĩa kĩeha kũrĩ Isaaka na Rebeka.
