Genesis 26

1 Tuh oasr pac sie sracl in facl sac sayen sracl se meet in pacl lal Abraham. Ke ma inge Isaac el mukuiyak som nu in acn Gerar, nu yorol Abimelech, tokosra lun mwet Philistia.

Then came a time of great need in the land, like that which had been before in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.

2 LEUM GOD El sikyang nu sel Isaac ac fahk nu sel, “Nimet kom som nu Egypt. Mutana in facl se inge, ke acn se nga ac fahk nu sum in muta we.

And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge:

3 Muta inge, ac nga ac fah wi kom ac akinsewowoye kom. Nga ac sot facl se inge nufon nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum. Nga ac akpwayeye wulela se nga tuh orala nu sel Abraham, papa tomom.

Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham;

4 Nga ac arulana akpusye fwilin tulik nutum ac elos ac fah oana pusiyen itu inkusrao, ac nga ac sang nu selos facl se inge nufon. Mutunfacl nukewa ac fah siyuk sik nga in akinsewowoyalos oana ke nga akinsewowoye fwil nutum.

I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth;

5 Nga fah akinsewowoye kom, mweyen Abraham el tuh akosyu ac liyaung ma sap nukewa ac ma oakwuk nukewa su nga sapkin.”

Because Abraham gave ear to my voice and kept my words, my rules, my orders, and my laws.

6 Ouinge Isaac el mutana Gerar.

So Isaac went on living in Gerar;

7 Ke mukul in acn we elos tuh siyuk ke mutan kial, el fahk nu selos mu ma loul pa Rebecca. El tiana fahkak lah mutan kial pa el, mweyen el sensen mukul we ac unilya ac eisalla Rebecca, mweyen el arulana oasku.

And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful.

8 Na ke Isaac el muta we paht kutu, Tokosra Abimelech el ngeti liki winto lal, ac liyalak Isaac ke el sritalel Rebecca.

And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife.

9 Abimelech el sapla solalma Isaac ac fahk nu sel, “Ma kiom pa mutan sac! Efu ku kom fahk mu ma loum?” Na Isaac el fahk “Nga sensen mu nga ac fin fahk mu ma kiuk pa el, na ac anwuki nga.”

And he said to Isaac, It is clear that she is your wife: why then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said, For fear that I might be put to death because of her.

10 Na Abimelech el fahk, “Mea se kom oru nu sesr inge? Sie sin mukul luk inge funu ona yurin mutan kiom an, lukun kom pa pwanma mwatasr.”

Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours.

11 Na Abimelech el akesmakye mwet nukewa, “Kutena mwet su oru koluk nu sin mwet se inge, ku mutan kial uh, ac fah anwuki.”

And Abimelech gave orders to his people that anyone touching Isaac or his wife was to be put to death.

12 Isaac el oru ima se lal in facl sac, ac in yac sac el kosrani pacl siofok yohk liki lupan ma el taknelik, mweyen LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal.

Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.

13 El kapkapak na in ma nukewa, oru el sie mwet arulana kasrup.

And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more;

14 Mweyen oasr un kosro puspis natul ke sheep ac cow ac mwet kulansap puspis lal, mwet Philistia elos sokyak sel.

For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.

15 Lufin kof nukewa ma mwet kulansap lal Abraham, papa tumal, tuh pukanak ke el srakna moul, mwet Philistia elos nwakla ke fohk.

Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.

16 Na Abimelech el fahk nu sel Isaac, “Fahla liki facl sesr uh. Kom arulana ku liki kut lac.”

And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.

17 Ouinge Isaac el som ac oakiya nien aktuktuk lal Infalfal Gerar, ac muta we.

So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there.

18 El sifilpa pukanak lufin kof ma Abraham, papa tumal, el tuh pukanak in pacl lal, su mwet Philistia elos tuh taunya tukun Abraham el misa. Isaac el sang pacna inen lufin kof inge ke ine ma papa tumal ah tuh sang nu kac.

And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.

19 Mwet kulansap lal Isaac ah pikin lufin kof se infalfal sac nwe sun unon in kof se.

Now Isaac's servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water.

20 Mwet liyaung kosro in acn Gerar elos alein nu sin mwet liyaung kosro lal Isaac, ac fahk, “Lufin kof se inge ma lasr.” Ouinge Isaac el sang inen luf sac “Alein.”

But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it.

21 Mwet kulansap lal Isaac elos sifilpa pukanak sie lufin kof, ac oasr pac alein kac. Ke ma inge el sang inen luf se inge, “Akwasui.”

Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.

22 El som liki acn sac ac sifilpa pukanak sie luf uh. Wangin alein nu sel ke luf se inge, ouinge el pangon luf sac, “Sukosok.” Ac el fahk, “Inge LEUM GOD El ase nu sesr sukosok in muta fin acn se inge, ac kut ac fah kapkapak fin acn se inge.”

Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.

23 Isaac el tuyak ac som nu Beersheba.

And from there he went on to Beer-sheba.

24 In fong sac LEUM GOD El sikyang nu sel ac fahk, “Nga God lal Abraham, papa tomom. Nik kom sangeng. Nga ac wi kom ac nga fah akinsewowoye kom ac sot fwilin tulik puspis nutum, ke sripen wuleang luk nu sel Abraham, mwet kulansap luk.”

That night the Lord came to him in a vision, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham: have no fear for I am with you, blessing you, and your seed will be increased because of my servant Abraham.

25 Isaac el etoak loang se we ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Na el tulokunak nien aktuktuk lal we, ac mwet kulansap lal elos sifilpla pukanak lufin kof se.

Then he made an altar there, and gave worship to the name of the Lord, and he put up his tents there, and there his servants made a water-hole.

26 Abimelech el tuku Gerar me, usal Ahuzzath mwet kasru fulat lal, ac Phicol leum lun un mwet mweun lal welul, in tuh sonol Isaac.

And Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol, the captain of his army.

27 Ke ma inge Isaac el siyuk, “Efu ku komtal tuku liyeyu? Komtal tuh srungayula ac lisyula liki facl sumtal ah.”

And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing that in your hate for me you sent me away from you?

28 Abimelech el topuk ac fahk, “Inge kut etu lah LEUM GOD El wi kom, ac kut nunku mu ac wona in oasr sie wulela na ku inmasrlosr. Kut lungse kom in wulela

And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you;

29 lah kom ac tia aklokoalokye kut oapana ke kut tuh tiana aklokoalokye kom ah. Kut tuh kulang na nu sum ac supwekomla in misla. Inge kalem na sesr lah LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kom.”

That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you.

30 Isaac el akoela kufwa se nu selos, ac elos tukeni mongoi.

Then he made a feast for them, and they all had food and drink.

31 Toangna in lotu tok ah, eltal tukakek ac akkeyala wulela inmasrloltal. Na Isaac el wilkas nu selos, ac elos fahsrelik kawuk na wowo.

And early in the morning they took an oath one to the other: then Isaac sent them away and they went on their way in peace.

32 Ke len sacna mwet kulansap lal Isaac elos tuku ac fahkang nu sel ke lufin kof se ma elos pukanak. Elos fahk, “Kut konauk kof.”

And that day Isaac's servants came to him and gave him word of the water-hole which they had made, and said to him, We have come to water.

33 El sang inen lufin kof sac “Wuleang Ku.” Pa ingan sripa se oru pangpang siti sac Beersheba.

And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.

34 Ke Esau el yac angngaul, el payukyak sin mutan Hit luo: Judith acn natul Beeri, ac Basemath acn natul Elon.

And when Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite:

35 Mutan luo inge arulana aktoasryal Isaac ac Rebecca.

And Isaac and Rebekah had grief of mind because of them.
