< 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.
AND there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2 Ubangiji kuwa ya bayyana ga Ishaku ya ce, “Kada ka gangara zuwa Masar; ka yi zauna a ƙasar da zan faɗa maka.
And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
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.
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
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,
And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 domin Ibrahim ya yi mini biyayya ya kuma kiyaye umarnaina, ƙa’idodina da kuma dokokina.”
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 Sai Ishaku ya zauna a Gerar.
And Isaac dwelt 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.”
And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
8 Sa’ad da Ishaku ya daɗe a can, sai Abimelek sarkin Filistiyawa ya duba daga taga ya ga Ishaku yana rungumar matarsa Rebeka.
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
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.”
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for 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.”
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness 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.”
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall 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.
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
13 Mutumin ya arzuta, arzikinsa ya yi ta haɓaka har ya zama attajiri.
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 Ya kasance da garkunan tumaki da na shanu da bayi masu yawa, har Filistiyawa suka yi ƙyashinsa.
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and 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.
For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 Sai Abimelek ya ce wa Ishaku, “Fita daga cikinmu; ka fi ƙarfinmu.”
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17 Saboda haka Ishaku ya fita daga can, ya yi sansani a Kwarin Gerar, ya kuma zauna a can.
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt 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.
And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 Barorin Ishaku suka haƙa cikin kwarin suka kuwa sami rijiya mai ruwa mai kyau a can.
And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
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.
And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
21 Sai suka haƙa wata rijiya, amma suka yi faɗa a kanta ita ma, saboda haka ya ce da ita Sitna.
And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of 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.”
And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 Daga can ya haura zuwa Beyersheba.
And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
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 the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
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.
And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
26 Ana cikin haka, sai Abimelek ya zo wurinsa daga Gerar, tare da Ahuzzat mai ba shi shawara da Fikol shugaban mayaƙansa.
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain 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?”
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
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
And they said, We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
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 thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the Lord.
30 Sai Ishaku ya shirya musu liyafa, suka ci suka kuma sha.
And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
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 rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from 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!”
And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
33 Sai ya kira ta Shiba, don haka har wa yau ana kira garin Beyersheba.
And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.
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.
And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
35 Su ne suka zama sanadin baƙin ciki ga Ishaku da Rebeka.
Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
