Jenesis 26

1 Agatekna ko'ma Abrahamu knafi fore hu'neankna huno ana mopafina fore higeno, Aisaki'a Gerari kumate Filistia kini ne' Abimelekintega vu'ne.

Some time later there was a severe (famine/scarcity of food) there. That was different from the famine that occurred when Abraham was alive. So Isaac went [southeast] to Gerar [town, to talk] to Abimelech, the king of the Philistine people-group. [What happened was this: Isaac considered going to Egypt],

2 Ra Anumzamo'a agrite efore huno amanage huno asmi'ne. Nagrama kasmisua mopare manigahananki, Isipia ovuo.

but Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt! Live in the land where I will tell you to go!

3 Ama mopafi mani'nege'na, Nagra asomu hunegantane'na kagri'ene kagehe'ine ama mopa mika nerami'na, Nagrama huvempa negafa Abrahamuma hunte'noa kea eri knare ha'neno.

Stay in this land for a while, and I will help you and bless you, because it is to you and your descendants that I will give all these lands, and I will do what I solemnly promised to your father.

4 Nagra kagehe'ina zamazeri ra ha'nenke'za monafi hanafi kna hanage'na, Nagra ama mopa kagehe'i zamisugeno, kagehe'impinti miko kokankoka vahe'mo'za asomura erigahaze.

I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as the stars in the sky. I will give to your descendants all these lands, and I will cause your descendants to be a blessing to the people of [MTY] all nations on the earth.

5 Na'ankure kema huankea Abrahamu'a amagenenteno Nagri kasegene tra ke'nianena avariri'ne.

I will do that because your father Abraham obeyed me. He obeyed everything that I told him to do, everything that I declared and all the laws that I gave him.” So Isaac [went and asked King Abimelech if he would permit him to live in the Gerar area. The king said, “Okay,”]

6 Ana higeno Aisaki'a Gerari mopare mani'ne.

[so Isaac] stayed there [along with his wife and sons].

7 Ana kumate vahe'mo'za Aisakina nenaronku antahi kageno agra a'nimo'e huno huzankura koro nehuno Nensaro'e hu'ne. Hagi agrama agesama antahiana Rebeka'a vahe'mofo anunu hu'are mani'negeno, ana kumate vahe'mo'za ahezanku anage hu'ne.

When the men in Gerar [town] asked who Rebekah was, Isaac said, “She is my sister.” He said that because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “Rebekah is very beautiful, so they will want her. [If I say that she is my sister, they know they will have to negotiate about a bride price because I am her older brother; but if I say that she is my wife, no negotiation will be possible]. They will just kill me to get her.”

8 Za'za kna anampi umaniteno, Aisaki'a nenaro Rebeka agazafe'negeno, Abimeleki'a Filistia kini ne'mo nomofo zaho eri kampinti ke'ne.

When Isaac had been there a long time, one day Abimelech, the king of the Philistine people-group, looked down from a window [in his palace] and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.

9 Anante Abimeleki'a, Aisakina ke higeno egeno, amanage huno asami'ne, Antahio, tamage huno ami kagri a' mani'ne! Nahigenka kagra nensaro'e hunka hu'nane? Higeno Aisaki'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Na'ankure agriteku hu'za vahe'mo'za nahe fri'zanku anagea hu'noe.

So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said to him, “Now I realize that she is really your wife! So why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied to him, “I said that because I thought that someone here might kill me to get her.”

10 Higeno Abimeleki'a amanage hu'ne, Amazana naza hunerantane? Mago vahe'mo'ma neganaro'ene maseresina, kagra mago knaza eri tamisine.

Abimelech said, “(You should not have done this to us!/Why did you do this?) [RHQ] One of our people might have (had sex with/slept with) [EUP] your wife, and you would have caused us to be guilty of a great sin!”

11 Anage huteno Abimeleki'a hakare vahe mago kasege antezmanteno amanage hu'ne, aza'o ama nero, nenarono avako'ma hanimofona ahe frigahaze.

Then Abimelech commanded all his people, saying, “Do not harm/molest this man or his wife! Anyone who does that will surely be executed!”

12 Hagi Aisaki'a ana mopafina avimaza hozafima hankre'neana ana kafufina 100'a agatereno hamare'ne. Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunte'ne.

Isaac planted grain in that land that year, and he harvested a very large crop, because Yahweh blessed him.

13 Ana higeno Aisaki'a feno ne' fore nehuno, mago'ene ra huno tusi'a feno anteno, mika feno ante agatere'nea ne' mani'ne.

Isaac continued to acquire more and more possessions, until finally he became very wealthy.

14 Aisaki'a sipisipi zagane, memeki zagane, Bulimakaone, eri'za vahe'ene, rama'a ante'nege'za, Filistia vahe'mo'za zamasigu hunte'naze.

He had large herds of sheep and goats and cattle, and many slaves. Because of that, the Philistine people envied him.

15 Ana hige'za mika tinkerima agri nefa Abrahamu eri'za vahe'mo'zama ko'ma kafimante'nazana, Filisti'a vahe'mo'za mopa kate'za refite'naze.

So all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug during the time when he was alive, the people filled up with dirt.

16 Hagi henka Abimeleki'a amanage huno Aisakina asmi'ne, Kagra tagrira tagaterenka hanave'nentake hananki, tagri'pintira atrenka vuo.

Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “You people have become more numerous than we are, so I want you to get out of our area.”

17 Hazageno Aisaki'a atreno Gerari agupofi seli no omegino anantega mani'ne.

So Isaac [and his family] moved from there. They set up their tents in Gerar Valley [and started to live there].

18 Hagi Aisaki'a eteno korapa Abrahamu kafinte'nea tinkeriramina eri so'e hu'ne. Na'ankure nefa'ma fritege'za Filistia vahe'mo'za refite'naza tinkeri raminkino, kafiteno nefa'ma ami'nea agi'aramina erikasefa huno antetere hu'ne.

There were several wells in that area that had been dug when Isaac’s father Abraham was living, but Philistine people had filled them up [with dirt] after Abraham died. Now Isaac and his servants removed the dirt, and Isaac gave the wells the same names that his father had given to them.

19 Aisaki eri'za vahe'mo'za ana agupofi tinkeri nesageno, anampinti ti hanatino mareri'ne.

Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water.

20 Hianagi Gerari afu kva vahe'mo'za, Aisaki afu kva vahera frage huzmante'za amanage hu'naze. Ama tagri tine! Hazageno Aisaki'a agi'a Eseki'e huno ante'ne. Na'ankure zamagra frage hunante'nazagu hu'ne.

But other men who lived in Gerar [Valley] who took care of their animals argued/quarreled with the men who took care of Isaac’s animals, and said, “The water in this well is ours!” So Isaac named the well Esek, which means ‘dispute’, because they disputed about who owned it.

21 Aisaki eri'za vahe'mo'za mago'ane ru tinkeri nesageno, esaza hu'za Gerari vahe'mo'za fra vazizmente'naze. Fra vazizageno negeno, Aisaki'a ana tinkerimofona Sitne huno agia ante'ne.

Then Isaac’s servants dug another well, but they quarreled about who owned that one also. So Isaac named it Sitnah, [which means ‘opposition]’.

22 Aisaki'a ana tinkeria atreno ru tinkeri ome kafige'za, hafra huontageno, ana tinkerimofo agi'a Rehoboti'e huno nenteno anage hu'ne, na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a tazahuno kankamuna retro hurante'neankita, ama ana mopare manineta, maka zampina knare hugahune.

They moved on from there and dug another well, but this time no one quarreled about who owned it. So Isaac named it Rehoboth, [which means ‘uninhabited place’], saying, “Yahweh has given us an uninhabited place to live in, a place that is not wanted by other people, and we will become very prosperous here.”

23 Hagi Aisaki'a ana kumara atreno marerino Berseba kumate uhanati'ne.

From there Isaac went up to Beersheba.

24 Ana'ma uhanatia kenegera Ra Anumzamo'a efore humino amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra Abrahamu nafaka'amofo Anumzane, e'igu korora osuo. Nagra kagrane mani'nena asomura hunegantena henka'a kagripinti kegehe'za fore hanamoki'zminena zamazeri hakare hugahue. Na'ankure Abrahamu'a Nagri eri'za vahe mani'negu anara hugahue.

The first night that he was there, Yahweh appeared to him and said, “I am God, whom your father Abraham worshiped. Do not be afraid of anything. I will help you and bless you, and because of what I promised my servant Abraham, I will greatly increase the number of your descendants.”

25 Hutegeno Aisaki'a ana kumatera Kresramana vu ita trohuno, Ra Anumzamofo agi hanta vazino ana kumateke seli no azeri onetige'za, Aisaki eri'za vahe'mo'za mago tinkeri kafi'naze.

So Isaac built a stone altar there [and offered a sacrifice] to worship Yahweh. He [and his servants] set up their tents there, and his servants started to dig a well.

26 Hagi Abimeleki'a Aisaki ome kenaku Gerari nevuno, magora knare antahintahi nemia ne' agi'a Ahusati'e, hanki magora sondia vahe'amofo kva ne' Fikoligizni neznavreno vu'ne.

[While they were digging the well], King Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, along with Ahuzzath, his advisor, and Phicol, the commander of his army.

27 Aisaki'a amanage huno zamantahige'ne, Ko'ma mopa tamifintira tamavesra hunanteta nahe nati'nazanki, tamagra na'anku nagritega neaze?

Isaac asked them, “You (acted in a hostile way toward me/treated me like an enemy) before, and sent me away. So why have you come to me now?”

28 Higeno ana kemofo nona'a anage hu'naze, Ra Anumzamo'a kagrane mani'neno kaza nehigeta negeta, tagra anage nehune, Kagri ene tagri ene amu'notifina tamage hunka huvempa naneke hugeta kagrane, tagranena hagerfita mani'maneno.

One of them answered, “We have seen that Yahweh helps you. So we said to each other, ‘We should have an agreement between us and you. We should make a peace treaty with you,

29 Kagra, tagrira tazeri havizana osugahane. Tagra kazeri havizana kagrira osuta, trimpa frune hugantonkenka e'nane. Menina Ra Anumzamo knare huneganteno asomura hunegante.

stating that you will not harm us, in the same way that we did not molest [EUP] you.’ We always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now Yahweh is blessing you.”

30 Hazageno ana kezmia nentahino, Aisaki'a ra kave kre zamentege'za tine ana ne'zana ne'naze.

So Isaac made a feast for them, and they all ate and drank.

31 Nanterame oti'za raruma hu'za manisaza huvempagea hute'za, anante Aisaki'a huno, Tamarimpa frune viho, huno huzmantege'za vu'naze.

Early the next morning they all (swore/solemnly promised) each other that they would do what they had promised. Then Isaac sent them home peacefully.

32 Ana'ma huzamantege'za vaza zupa, Aisaki eri'za vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za eme asmi'naze. Hago mago tinkerima kafinompintira tina fore hie.

That day Isaac’s servants came to him and told him about the well that they had finished digging. They said, “We found water in the well!”

33 Ana tinkerimofo agi'a Sibae huno ante'ne. Meninena ana kumamo'a rahige'za Berseba kumare hu'za nehaze.

Isaac named the well Shibah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘oath’]. To the present time the town there has the name Beersheba [which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’].

34 Iso'a 40'a zagegafu maniteno, Hiti ne'mofo mofa' eri'ne, agi'a Juditi'e, nefa'a Beri'e. Hanki mago a'amofo agi'a Basematikino Hiti ne' Eloni mofare.

When Esau was 40 years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon. Both of those women were descendants of Heth, [not from Isaac’s clan].

35 Ana a'tremokizni mani'zamo Aisakine Rebekagiznia zanarimpa zanata zanami'ne.

Esau’s two wives made life miserable for Isaac and Rebekah.
