Olubereberye 26

1 Ne wabaawo enjala mu nsi, eteri eri eyabaawo mu biseera bya Ibulayimu. Isaaka n’agenda mu Gerali, ewa Abimereki kabaka w’Abafirisuuti.

Afei, ɛkɔm kɛseɛ bi baa asase no so. Saa ɛkɔm kɛseɛ no sene deɛ ɛbaa Abraham berɛ so no. Ɛno enti, Isak tu kɔtenaa Gerar a ɛyɛ Filistifoɔ ɔhene Abimelek kuro mu.

2 Ne Mukama n’amulabikira, n’amugamba nti, “Toserengeta Misiri, beera mu nsi gye ndikulaga.

Ɛhɔ na Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Isak, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nkɔ Misraim, na mmom, tena asase a mɛkyerɛ wo no so.

3 Beera mu nsi gye ndikulaga, nnaabeeranga naawe, n’akuwanga omukisa kubanga gwe n’abaana bo ndibawa ensi zino zonna, era ndituukiriza ekirayiro kye nalayirira kitaawo Ibulayimu.

Tena asase yi so kakra, ɛfiri sɛ, mede saa asase no nyinaa bɛma wo ne wʼasefoɔ, na mede asi ɛbɔ a mehyɛɛ wʼagya Abraham no so dua.

4 Ndyaza abaana b’enda yo ne baba ng’emmunyeenye ez’eggulu, era ndibawa n’ensi zino zonna. Era mu bo amawanga gonna ag’oku nsi mwe galiweerwa omukisa;

Mɛma wʼasefoɔ adɔɔso te sɛ nsoromma a ɛwɔ soro, na mede saa nsase yi nyinaa ama wɔn. Ɛnam wʼasefoɔ so na wɔbɛhyira ewiase aman ahodoɔ nyinaa.

5 kubanga Ibulayimu yagondera eddoboozi lyange, n’akwata bye namukuutira, n’ebiragiro byange, n’ebigambo byange awamu n’amateeka gange.”

Ɛfiri sɛ, Abraham tiee me nne, dii me nsɛm, mʼahyɛdeɛ ne me mmara nyinaa so.”

6 Bw’atyo Isaaka n’abeera mu Gerali,

Enti, Isak tenaa Gerar.

7 abasajja ab’omu nsi omwo bwe baamubuuza ku mukazi we n’abaddamu nti, “Mwannyinaze.” Kubanga yatya okwogera nti, “Mukazi wange,” ng’alowooza nti, “Abasajja ab’omu nsi omwo tebalwa kunzita lwa Lebbeeka,” kubanga yali mulungi nnyo.

Ɛberɛ a Gerar mmarima bisaa Isak yere Rebeka ho asɛm no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔyɛ me nuabaa.” Ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔsuro sɛ ɔbɛka sɛ, “Ɔyɛ me yere.” Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔsusu sɛ, ɛsiane ne yere Rebeka ahoɔfɛ enti, anhwɛ a, na kurom hɔ mmarima akum no.

8 Bwe yamalayo ekiseera ekiwanvu, Abimereki, kabaka w’Abafirisuuti n’atunula mu ddirisa, n’alaba Isaaka ng’azannya ne Lebbeeka mukazi we.

Isak tenaa hɔ kyɛɛ kakra no, ɛda bi, Filistifoɔ ɔhene Abimelek gyina ne mpomma mu na ɔhunuu sɛ Isak regoro ne yere Rebeka ho.

9 Abimereki kwe kuyita Isaaka n’amugamba nti, “Ddala, mukazi wo, lwaki wagamba nti, ‘Mwannyinaze’?” Isaaka n’amuddamu nti, “Kubanga nalowooza nti, ‘Nnyinza okufiirwa obulamu bwange ku lulwe.’”

Ɛno enti, Abimelek soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Isak. Isak baeɛ no, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɔbaa no yɛ wo yere ankasa. Adɛn enti na woka sɛ, ‘Ɔyɛ me nuabaa?’” Isak buaa no sɛ, “Mesusuu sɛ, sɛ meka sɛ ɔyɛ me yere a, ne enti, ebia, na wɔakum me.”

10 Abimereki n’amugamba nti, “Kale kiki kino ky’otukoze? Omu ku basajja yandiyinzizza okusobya ku mukazi wo, wandituleeseeko omusango.”

Ɛnna ɔhene Abimelek kaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn asɛm na wo ne yɛn adi yi? Nokorɛ a woamma anna adi enti, anka obi bɛtumi afa wo yere no, na wode mmusuo aba yɛn so.”

11 Awo Abimereki n’alyoka alagira abantu bonna ng’agamba nti, “Buli alikwata ku musajja ono oba ku mukyala we waakuttibwa.”

Ɛno enti, Abimelek bɔɔ ne manfoɔ no kɔkɔ sɛ, “Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka saa ɔbarima yi, anaa ne yere no, ɛkwan biara so, wɔbɛkum no.”

12 Isaaka n’asigala mu nsi omwo, n’afuna amakungula emirundi kikumi ag’ebyo bye yasiga, kubanga Mukama yamuwa omukisa.

Saa afe no ara Yakob dɔɔ afuo. Na Awurade hyiraa nʼadwumadeɛ so. Ne nnɔbaeɛ baa bebree.

13 N’afuuka mugagga, obugagga bwe ne bweyongera n’agaggawala nnyo.

Isak yɛɛ ɔdefoɔ. Nʼahonya kɔɔ so dɔɔso, ma ɔdii taamu.

14 Yalina ebisibo by’endiga bingi nnyo n’amagana g’ente, era n’abaweereza nfaafa; Abafirisuuti ne bamukwatirwa obuggya.

Ɔnyaa nnwan, anantwie, ne asomfoɔ bebree, ma ɛyɛɛ saa maa Filistifoɔ no ani beree no yie. Saa anibereɛ yi enti, Filistifoɔ no de dɔteɛ kɔsisii

15 Kyebaava bajjuza enzizi zonna abaddu ba kitaawe ze baasima mu biro bya kitaawe Ibulayimu, ne baziziba.

abura ahodoɔ a nʼagya Abraham maa ne nkoa tutuu wɔ ne berɛ so no nyinaa ano.

16 Ne Abimereki n’agamba Isaaka nti, “Ggenda, tuveemu kubanga otuyitiridde amaanyi.”

Ɛbaa saa no, ɔhene Abimelek ka kyerɛɛ Isak sɛ, “Tu firi yɛn asase so, ɛfiri sɛ, wʼahonya dodoɔ aka yɛn ahyɛ.”

17 Awo Isaaka n’avaayo n’azimba mu kiwonvu eky’e Gerali, n’abeera omwo.

Isak tu firii Gerar kuro no mu, kɔɔ Gerar subɔnhwa mu de hɔ kɔyɛɛ nʼatenaeɛ.

18 Isaaka n’azibukula enzizi ezaali zisimiddwa mu biseera bya Ibulayimu kitaawe, kubanga Abafirisuuti baziziba Ibulayimu bwe yamala okufa. Era ye Isaaka n’aziyita amannya gali kitaawe ge yali azituumye.

Enti, Isak maa ne nkoa sane tutuu mmura a nʼagya Abraham maa ne nkoa tutuiɛ a ne wuo akyiri no, Filistifoɔ no sisii ne nyinaa no. Ɔsane de edin korɔ no ara a nʼagya Abraham de totoo mmura no totoo no bio.

19 Naye abaddu ba Isaaka bwe basima mu kiwonvu ne bazuula oluzzi olw’ensulo,

Isak nkoa no tuu abura foforɔ bi wɔ Gerar subɔnhwa no mu, kɔtoo nsuo a ɛyɛ korɔgyenn.

20 abasumba b’omu Gerali ne bayomba n’abasumba ba Isaaka nga bagamba nti, “Amazzi gaffe.” Oluzzi olwo kyeyava alutuuma Eseki, kubanga baawakana naye.

Nanso, Gerar nnwanhwɛfoɔ ne Isak nnwanhwɛfoɔ gyee abura no ho akyinnyeɛ. Gerar nnwanhwɛfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Abura yi yɛ yɛn dea.” Yei maa Isak too saa abura no edin Esek, a aseɛ kyerɛ akyinnyegyeɛ abura.

21 Kyebaava basima oluzzi olulala, era nalwo ne baluyombera, lwo kwe kuluyita Situna.

Isak nkoa no sane tuu abura foforɔ, nanso Gerar nnwanhwɛfoɔ no sane ne wɔn kasakasaa ɛno nso so. Yei maa Isak sane too saa abura no nso edin Sitna, a aseɛ kyerɛ Aperedie.

22 Awo n’avaayo n’asima oluzzi olulala, olwo lwo ne bataluyombera, kyeyava alutuuma Lekobosi, ng’agamba nti, “Kubanga kaakano Mukama atuwadde ebbanga, era tujja kukulaakulanira muno.”

Isak gyaa saa abura no hɔ kɔtuu abura foforɔ. Afei, nnipa a wɔne no te hɔ no gyaee no haw a obiara ne no ankasa so bio. Yei maa Isak too saa abura yi edin Rehobot a aseɛ ne “Afei deɛ Awurade abɔ yɛn atenaseɛ na yɛbɛnya yɛn ho wɔ asase yi so.”

23 Bwe yava eyo n’agenda e Beeruseba.

Isak tu firii hɔ kɔɔ Beer-Seba.

24 Ekiro ekyo Mukama n’alabikira Isaaka, n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda wa Ibulayimu kitaawo, totya. Kubanga ndiwamu naawe, ndikuwa omukisa era ndyaza abaana bo ku lwa Ibulayimu omuddu wange.”

Anadwo no, Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mene wʼagya, Abraham Onyankopɔn. Nsuro, ɛfiri sɛ, me ne wo na ɛwɔ hɔ. Ɛbɔ a mahyɛ mʼakoa Abraham enti, mɛhyira wo, na mama wʼasefoɔ adɔɔso, na wɔayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ.”

25 Awo n’azimbawo ekyoto n’akoowoola erinnya lya Mukama, n’asimba eyo eweema ye. Era n’eyo abaddu be ne basimayo oluzzi.

Isak sii afɔrebukyia, somm Awurade wɔ hɔ. Ɔsii ntomadan, tenaa hɔ, na ne nkoa nso tuu abura maa no.

26 Mu kiseera kye kimu Abimereki n’ava mu Gerali ng’ali ne Akuzasa gwe yeebuuzangako amagezi ne Fikoli omukulu w’eggye lye, n’agenda eri Isaaka.

Ɛda bi, ɔhene Abimelek ne ne fotufoɔ Ahusad ne ne sahene Pikol firi Gerar bɛsraa Isak.

27 Isaaka n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki muzze gye ndi ng’ate mwankijjanya ne mungobaganya?”

Isak bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na mo a na mo ne me nka, na mopamoo me firii mo nkyɛn aba me ha ɛnnɛ sɛ morebɛsra me?”

28 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tulabidde ddala nga Mukama ali naawe, kyetuva tugamba nti, ‘Wabeewo ekirayiro wakati wo naffe. Era tukole endagaano naawe,

Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Yɛhunu pefee sɛ Awurade wɔ wʼafa enti, yɛasi gyinaeɛ sɛ, yɛne wo bɛyɛ apam. Apam no bɛda wo ne yɛn ntam. Pene so, na yɛne wo nyɛ saa apam no,

29 nga tolitukola kabi, nga ffe bwe tutaakakukola era nga tetuliiko kye tukukoze, wabula ebirungi era nga twakusiibula mirembe.’ Kaakano gwe oli muntu Mukama gw’awadde omukisa.”

Ka yɛn ntam sɛ, worenha yɛn, sɛdeɛ yɛn nso, yɛanha wo no. Yɛne wo tenaa yie. Yɛgyaa wo kwan asomdwoeɛ mu. Afei, hwɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyira wo.”

30 Awo Isaaka n’abakolera ekijjulo ne balya ne banywa.

Isak too wɔn ɛpono, na wɔdidi nomeeɛ de twɛn apam a wɔne no rebɛyɛ no.

31 Ku makya ennyo ne bagolokoka ne balayiriragana, Isaaka n’abawerekerako ne bava gy’ali mirembe.

Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, Isak ne mmarima no kekaa wɔn ho wɔn ho ntam, de sii wɔn apam a wɔayɛ no so dua. Afei, Isak gyaa wɔn kwan, ma wɔkɔɔ asomdwoeɛ mu.

32 Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, abaddu ba Isaaka ne bajja ne bamutegeeza eby’oluzzi lwe baasima, ne bamugamba nti, “Tuzudde amazzi.”

Ɛda no ara, Isak asomfoɔ bɛkaa abura a na wɔretu no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛato nsuo.”

33 N’alutuuma Siba; erinnya ly’ekibuga kyeriva liba Beeruseba na buli kati.

Isak too abura no edin Seba, a aseɛ kyerɛ sɛ “Ntanka abura.” Kuro a akyire no wɔkyekyeree wɔ hɔ no, wɔtoo hɔ edin Beer-Seba a ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ, wɔda so frɛ hɔ saa ara.

34 Esawu bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi ana egy’obukulu, n’awasa Yudisi muwala wa Beeri Omukiiti, ne Besimansi muwala wa Eroni naye Omukiiti.

Esau dii mfeɛ aduanan no, ɔwaree ababaawa bi a na wɔfrɛ no Yudit. Na nʼagya yɛ Hetini bi a ne din de Beeri. Esau sane waree Basmat a nʼagya yɛ Hetini bi a ne din de Elon.

35 Ne bakaluubiriza nnyo Isaaka ne Lebbeeka obulamu.

Nanso, Isak ne Rebeka bo annwo saa awadeɛ no so.
