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, beside 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 the LORD 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 countries, and I will perform 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 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 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, [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 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 for 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 lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest 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 [his] 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.
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD 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 went forward, and grew 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.
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: 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.
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 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 pitched his tent 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 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 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 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 the LORD 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 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 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 the LORD, 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 one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
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 come ye to 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 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 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 the LORD.
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 Shebah: 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 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 Ha ghọrọ Aịzik na Ribeka ihe ọnọdụ obi ilu.
Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
