Farawa 26
1 Aka yi yunwa a ƙasar; ban da yunwar da aka yi da fari a zamanin Ibrahim, sai Ishaku ya tafi wurin Abimelek sarkin Filistiyawa a Gerar.
Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.
2 Ubangiji kuwa ya bayyana ga Ishaku ya ce, “Kada ka gangara zuwa Masar; ka yi zauna a ƙasar da zan faɗa maka.
The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.
3 Ka zauna a wannan ƙasa na ɗan lokaci, zan kuwa kasance tare da kai, zan kuma albarkace ka. Gama zan ba da waɗannan ƙasashe gare ka da kuma zuriyarka. Zan kuma cika rantsuwar da na yi wa mahaifinka Ibrahim.
Stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.
4 Zan sa zuriyarka ta yi yawa kamar taurari a sararin sama zan kuwa ba su dukan waɗannan ƙasashe, ta wurin’ya’yanka kuma za a albarkaci dukan al’umman duniya,
I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,
5 domin Ibrahim ya yi mini biyayya ya kuma kiyaye umarnaina, ƙa’idodina da kuma dokokina.”
because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
6 Sai Ishaku ya zauna a Gerar.
So Isaac settled in Gerar.
7 Sa’ad da mutanen wurin suka tambaye shi game da matarsa, sai ya ce, “’Yar’uwata ce,” gama yana tsoro yă ce, “Ita matata ce.” Ya yi tunani, “Mutane wannan wuri za su kashe ni ta dalili Rebeka, domin kyakkyawa ce.”
But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of this place will kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”
8 Sa’ad da Ishaku ya daɗe a can, sai Abimelek sarkin Filistiyawa ya duba daga taga ya ga Ishaku yana rungumar matarsa Rebeka.
When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
9 Saboda haka Abimelek ya aika Ishaku yă je, sa’an nan ya ce, “Tabbatacce ita matarka ce! Me ya sa ka ce, ‘Ita’yar’uwata ce?’” Ishaku ya amsa masa ya ce, “Don na yi tsammani zan rasa raina saboda ita.”
Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”
10 Sa’an nan Abimelek ya ce, “Me ke nan ka yi mana? Da a ce wani daga mazanmu ya kwana da matarka, ai, da ka jawo laifi a kanmu.”
“What is this you have done to us?” asked Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
11 Saboda haka Abimelek ya yi umarni ga dukan mutane. “Duk wanda ya fitine wannan mutum ko matarsa, tabbatacce za a kashe shi.”
So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
12 Ishaku ya shuka hatsi a wannan ƙasa, a shekaran nan ya yi girbi ninki ɗari, domin Ubangiji ya albarkace shi.
Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,
13 Mutumin ya arzuta, arzikinsa ya yi ta haɓaka har ya zama attajiri.
and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.
14 Ya kasance da garkunan tumaki da na shanu da bayi masu yawa, har Filistiyawa suka yi ƙyashinsa.
He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
15 Saboda haka dukan rijiyoyin da bayin mahaifinsa suka haƙa a kwanakin da mahaifinsa Ibrahim yake da rai, Filistiyawa sun toshe su, suka kuma ciccike su da ƙasa.
So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.
16 Sai Abimelek ya ce wa Ishaku, “Fita daga cikinmu; ka fi ƙarfinmu.”
Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”
17 Saboda haka Ishaku ya fita daga can, ya yi sansani a Kwarin Gerar, ya kuma zauna a can.
So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
18 Ishaku ya sāke tona rijiyoyi waɗanda dā aka haƙa a zamanin Ibrahim mahaifinsa, gama Filistiyawa suka tattoshe bayan mutuwar Ibrahim, ya kuma sa musu sunayen da mahaifinsa ya ba su.
Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.
19 Barorin Ishaku suka haƙa cikin kwarin suka kuwa sami rijiya mai ruwa mai kyau a can.
Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.
20 Amma makiyayan Gerar suka yi faɗa da na Ishaku suka ce, “Ruwan namu ne!” Saboda haka Ishaku ya ba wa rijiyar suna Esek, domin sun yi faɗa da shi.
But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 Sai suka haƙa wata rijiya, amma suka yi faɗa a kanta ita ma, saboda haka ya ce da ita Sitna.
Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
22 Sai Ishaku ya matsa daga can ya sāke haƙa wata rijiyar, babu wani kuma da yi faɗa a kanta. Sai ya ba ta suna Rehobot, yana cewa, “Yanzu Ubangiji ya ba mu wuri, za mu kuwa yi ta haihuwa a ƙasar.”
He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23 Daga can ya haura zuwa Beyersheba.
From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,
24 A wannan dare Ubangiji ya bayyana gare shi ya ce, “Ni ne Allah na mahaifinka Ibrahim. Kada ka ji tsoro, gama ina tare da kai, zan albarkace ka, zan kuma ƙara yawan zuriyarka saboda bawana Ibrahim.”
and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”
25 Sai Ishaku ya gina bagade a can, ya kuma kira bisa sunan Ubangiji. A can ya kafa tentinsa, a can kuma bayinsa suka haƙa wata rijiya.
So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.
26 Ana cikin haka, sai Abimelek ya zo wurinsa daga Gerar, tare da Ahuzzat mai ba shi shawara da Fikol shugaban mayaƙansa.
Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
27 Ishaku ya tambaye su, “Me ya kawo ku gare ni, da yake kun yi gāba da ni, kuka kuma kore ni?”
“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”
28 Suka amsa, “Mun ga a zahiri cewa Ubangiji yana tare da kai; saboda haka muka ce, ‘Dole rantsuwa ta kasance tsakaninmu da kai.’ Bari mu yi yarjejjeniya da kai
“We can plainly see that the LORD has been with you,” they replied. “We recommend that there should now be an oath between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you
29 cewa ba za ka cuce mu ba, kamar yadda ba mu fitine ka ba, amma muka yi maka kirki, muka kuma sallame ka cikin salama. Yanzu kuwa kai albarkatacce ne na Ubangiji.”
that you will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only good to you, sending you on your way in peace. And now you are blessed by the LORD.”
30 Sai Ishaku ya shirya musu liyafa, suka ci suka kuma sha.
So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31 Kashegari da sassafe sai mutanen suka yi wa juna rantsuwa. Sa’an nan Ishaku ya sallame su, suka kuwa tafi cikin salama.
And they got up early the next morning and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.
32 A wannan rana bayin Ishaku suka zo suka faɗa masa game da rijiyar da suka haƙa. Suka ce, “Mun sami ruwa!”
On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.
33 Sai ya kira ta Shiba, don haka har wa yau ana kira garin Beyersheba.
So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.
34 Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya kai shekaru arba’in da haihuwa, sai ya auri Yudit’yar Beyeri mutumin Hitti, da kuma Basemat’yar Elon mutumin Hitti.
When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 Su ne suka zama sanadin baƙin ciki ga Ishaku da Rebeka.
And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
