Jenesis 26
1 Nʼoge a, ụnwụ dara nʼala ahụ. Ụnwụ a dị iche nʼụnwụ mbụ nke dara nʼoge Ebraham dị ndụ. Aịzik jekwuru Abimelek eze ndị Filistia nʼobodo Gera.
And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.
2 Onyenwe anyị gosiri Aịzik onwe ya, sị, “Agakwala Ijipt; biri nʼala ahụ m sị gị biri nʼime ya.
And Jehovah appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
3 Nọrọ nʼala a nwa oge nta, aga m anọnyere gị ma gọziekwa gị, nʼihi na gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ka m ga-enye ala ndị a niile. Aga m emezukwa iyi ahụ m ṅụrụ nye Ebraham nna gị.
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 lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
4 Aga m eme ka ụmụ ụmụ gị mụbaa, mee ka ha hie nne nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka kpakpando dị na mbara eluigwe. Ha ka m ga-enye ala ndị a niile. Aga m esite na mkpụrụ gị gọzie mba niile nke ụwa.
and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 Ihe ndị a niile ka m ga-eme nʼihi na Ebraham rubere isi ime ihe m gwara ya, na idebe iwu m na ụkpụrụ m, na ịdọ aka na ntị m.”
because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 Ya mere, Aịzik nọgidere nʼobodo Gera.
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
7 Mgbe ndị obodo ahụ jụrụ ya banyere nwunye ya, ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ bụ nwanne m nwanyị.” Ọ tụrụ ụjọ ị sị ha, “Nwunye m ka ọ bụ,” O chere nʼobi ya sị, “Ndị ikom obodo a nwere ike gbuo m nʼihi Ribeka. Nʼihi na Ribeka nʼonwe ya mara mma ile anya.”
and the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, My wife; lest, [said he], the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
8 Mgbe Aịzik nọrọ ebe ahụ ogologo oge, Abimelek eze ndị Filistia, sitere na oghereikuku ya lepụ anya hụ Aịzik ka ọ nọ na-egwusa Ribeka nwunye ya egwu.
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 Ya mere, Abimelek kpọrọ Aịzik sị, “Nwunye gị ka ọ bụ nʼezie. Gịnị mere i ji gwa anyị na ọ bụ nwanne gị nwanyị?” Aịzik zara ya, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na m chere na-enwere ike igbu m nʼihi ya.”
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 because of her.
10 Abimelek sịrị, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere anyị? Otu nwoke nʼetiti anyị gaara akpọrọ nwunye gị dinaa ya. Ị gaara esi otu a wetara anyị ikpe ọmụma.”
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might easily have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11 Ya mere, Abimelek nyere ndị niile ya iwu, sị ha, “Onye ọbụla metụrụ nwoke a maọbụ nwunye ya aka, aghaghị ime ka ọ nwụọ.”
And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Aịzik kụrụ mkpụrụ ubi nʼala ahụ. Nʼotu afọ ahụ kwa, o si nʼala ahụ webata ihe ubi narị okpukpu karịa nke ọ kụrụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị gọziri ya.
And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold: and Jehovah blessed him.
13 Nwoke a bara ụba, ghọọ ọgaranya. Akụnụba ya gara nʼihu na-amụba, tutu ruo mgbe ọ ghọrọ nnọọ onye ọgaranya a ma ama.
And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great:
14 O nwere ọtụtụ igwe anụ ụlọ, na igwe ehi, na ndị ikom na-ejere ya ozi. Nʼihi ihe ndị a, ndị Filistia bidoro inwe anya ukwu megide ya.
and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him.
15 Ndị Filistia wụjuru aja nʼolulu mmiri ndị ahụ niile ndị na-ejere nna ya ozi gwuru nʼoge nna ya Ebraham dị ndụ.
Now all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
16 Abimelek kpọrọ Aịzik sị ya, “Si nʼala a kwapụ gaa nʼebe ọzọ, nʼihi na ịba ụba gị na ịdị ike gị adịla ukwuu karịa nke anyị.”
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17 Ya mere Aịzik si nʼebe ahụ kwapụ, gaa maa ụlọ ikwu ya na Ndagwurugwu Gera, biri nʼebe ahụ.
And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 O gwugharịkwara olulu mmiri ndị ahụ e gwuru nʼoge nna ya Ebraham, nke ndị Filistia kpojuru aja mgbe Ebraham nwụrụ, kpọọ olulu mmiri ndị a otu aha ahụ nna ya kpọrọ ha na mbụ.
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 Ọzọ, ndị na-ejere Aịzik ozi gwuru olulu mmiri ọhụrụ na ndagwurugwu Gera ahụ, gwute mmiri nke si nʼala na-asọpụta.
And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
20 Ma ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ obodo Gera sesịrị ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ Aịzik okwu. Ha kwuru sị, “Mmiri a bụ nke anyị!” Nke a mere Aịzik ji kpọọ olulu mmiri ahụ Esek, nʼihi ise okwu nke ha sesịrị ya.
And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 Ha gwuru olulu mmiri ọzọ, ma ndị ahụ bịakwara ọzọ bido ịzọ ya. Nʼihi ya Aịzik kpọrọ olulu mmiri ahụ Sitna.
And they digged another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 O si nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa nʼebe ọzọ gwuo olulu mmiri ọzọ. Ma o nweghị ndị bịara zọọ ya. Nʼihi ya ọ kpọrọ olulu mmiri ahụ Rehobọt. O kwuru sị, “Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị enyela anyị ebe sara mbara, ebe ihe ga-anọ gaara anyị nke ọma.”
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 Jehovah hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 O sitere nʼebe ahụ kwapụ gaa Bịasheba.
And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
24 Nʼabalị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọ hụ ya anya, sị ya, “Abụ m Chineke nna gị Ebraham. Atụla egwu, nʼihi na anọnyere m gị, aga m agọzi gị, mụbaa ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ ụmụ gị nʼihi ohu m Ebraham.”
And Jehovah 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 Ya mere, o wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe ahụ kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị. Ọ makwara ụlọ ikwu ya nʼebe ahụ. Ndị na-ejere ya ozi gwukwara olulu mmiri.
And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
26 Abimelek na Ahuzat, onye ndụmọdụ ya, na Fikọl onyeisi ndị agha ya sitere Gera jekwuru Aịzik.
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host.
27 Aịzik jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji bịakwute m, ebe ọ bụ na unu kpọrọ m asị, chụpụkwa m site nʼetiti unu?”
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28 Ha sị, “Anyị hụrụ nke ọma na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere gị, ya mere anyị ji sị, ‘O kwesiri ka ịṅụ iyi dị nʼetiti anyị na gị,’ ka anyị na gị gbaakwa ndụ
And they said, We saw plainly that Jehovah was with thee: and we said, Let there now be an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,
29 na ị gaghị eme anyị ihe ọjọọ dịka anyị na-esighị mee gị ihe ọjọọ. I lezie anya nke ọma, ị ga-ahụ na anyị meere gị ihe ọma mgbe anyị hapụrụ gị ka ị laa nʼudo. Ugbu a, anyị maara na ị bụ onye Onyenwe anyị gọziri agọzi.”
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 Jehovah.
30 Aịzik meere ha mmemme nri dị ukwuu; ha riri, ṅụọkwa.
And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
31 Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ndị ikom ahụ niile ṅụrịtaara onwe ha iyi ịgba ndụ. Aịzik zilagara ha, ha hapụrụ ya laa nʼudo.
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 Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ kwa, ndị ohu Aịzik bịakwutere ya gwa ya banyere olulu mmiri ha na-egwu, sị ya, “Anyị achọtala mmiri nʼolulu ahụ anyị na-egwu.”
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 Ọ kpọrọ ya Shiba. Ọ bụkwa nke a mere e ji akpọ obodo ahụ Bịasheba ruo taa.
And he called it Shibah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.
34 Mgbe Ịsọ gbara iri afọ anọ, ọ lụrụ Judit nwa Beiri, onye Het. Ọ lụkwara Basemat nwa Elọn, onye Het.
And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
35 Ha ghọrọ Aịzik na Ribeka ihe ọnọdụ obi ilu.
and they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
