Genesisy 26

1 Ary nisy mosary indray teo amin’ ny tany afa-tsy ilay mosary voalohany fony fahavelon’ i Abrahama. Ary Isaka nankany amin’ i Abimeleka mpanjakan’ ny Filistina, tany Gerara.

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 Ary Jehovah niseho taminy ka nanao hoe: Aza midìna any Egypta ianao; mitoera eo amin’ ny tany izay holazaiko aminao.

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 Mivahinia eto amin’ ity tany ity ianao, dia homba anao sy hitahy anao Aho; fa ianao sy ny taranakao no homeko ireto tany rehetra ireto, ka hotoviko ny fianianana izay nataoko tamin’ i Abrahama rainao;

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 dia hahamaro ny taranakao ho tahaka ny kintana eny amin’ ny lanitra Aho, ka homeko ny taranakao ireto tany rehetra ireto, ary amin’ ny taranakao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany;

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 satria efa nihaino ny feoko Abrahama ka nitandrina izay nasaiko notandremany, dia ny didiko sy ny teniko ary ny lalàko.

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

6 Ary Isaka dia nitoetra tany Gerara.

So Isaac went on living in Gerar;

7 Ary ny lehilahy tompon-tany nanontany ny amin’ ny vadiny; ary hoy kosa izy: Anabaviko izy; fa natahotra hilaza hoe: Vadiko izy, fandrao, hoy izy, hamono ahy ny lehilahy tompon-tany noho Rebeka, satria tsara tarehy izy.

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 Ary rehefa nitoetra ela teo izy, dia nitsirika teo am-baravarankely Abimeleka, mpanjakan’ ny Filistina, ka nahita fa, indro, Isaka nisangy tamin-dRebeka vadiny.

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 Ary Abimeleka dia niantso an’ Isaka ka nanao hoe: Efa hita mihitsy fa vadinao izy, ka nahoana no nolazainao hoe: Anabaviko izy? Ary hoy Isaka taminy: Satria hoy izaho anakampo: Fandrao maty aho noho ny aminy.

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 Ary hoy Abimeleka: Inona izao nataonao taminay izao? Saiky nisy nandry tamin’ ny vadinao ny olona, dia ho nahatonga heloka taminay ianao.

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 Dia nandidy ny vahoakany rehetra Abimeleka ka nanao hoe: Izay manendry io lehilahy io na ny vadiny dia hatao maty tokoa.

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

12 Dia namafy tamin’ izany tany izany Isaka ka nahazo zato heny tamin’ izay taona izay, satria efa notahin’ i Jehovah izy.

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 Ary nanan-karena ralehilahy ka nandroso sy nitombo ambara-pahatongany ho mpanjatobe indrindra;

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

14 fa nanana fananana be izy, dia ondry aman’ osy sy omby ary andevo maro; ka dia nialona azy ny Filistina.

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

15 Ary ny lavaka fantsakana rehetra, izay efa nohadin’ ny mpanompon-drainy fony fahavelon’ i Abrahama rainy, dia efa novonoin’ ny Filistina sy nototofany tany avokoa.

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 Ary hoy Abimeleka tamin’ Isaka: Miala atỳ aminay; fa ianao mahery lavitra noho izahay.

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

17 Ary lasa niala teo Isaka, dia nanorina ny lainy teo an-dohasahan’ i Gerara ka nonina teo.

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

18 Dia noloaran’ Isaka indray ny lavaka fantsakana izay voahady fony fahavelon’ i Abrahama rainy, fa efa novonoin’ ny Filistina ireny, rehefa maty Abrahama; ary dia nasiany anarana ireny araka ny anarana izay efa nanaovan-drainy azy ihany.

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 Dia nihady teo amin’ ny lohasaha ny mpanompon’ Isaka ka nahita loharano velona teo.

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

20 Ary niady tamin’ ny mpiandry ombin’ Isaka ny mpiandry omby tao Gerara ka nanao hoe: Anay ny rano; ary ny anaran’ ny lavaka fantsakana dia nataon’ Isaka hoe Eseka, satria nifanditra taminy izy ireo.

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 Dia nihady lavaka fantsakana hafa koa izy, ka niadiany indray io; ary ny anarany dia nataony hoe Sitna.

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

22 Dia nifindra niala teo izy ka nihady lavaka fantsakana hafa koa indray; fa io kosa tsy mba niadiany; koa ny anarany dia nataony hoe Rehobota; fa hoy izy: Efa nomen’ i Jehovah toerana malalaka isika ankehitriny, dia hihamaro eo amin’ ny tany.

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 Dia niakatra niala teo izy ka nankany Beri-sheba.

And from there he went on to Beer-sheba.

24 Ary Jehovah niseho taminy tamin’ iny alina iny ka nanao hoe: Izaho no Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama rainao; aza matahotra, fa momba anao Aho ka hitahy anao sy hahamaro ny taranakao noho ny amin’ i Abrahama mpanompoko.

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 Ary nanorina alitara teo izy, dia niantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah sady nanorina ny lainy teo koa; ary nihady lavaka fantsakana teo ny mpanompon’ Isaka.

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 Ary Abimeleka mbamin’ i Ahozata sakaizany sy Pikola, komandin’ ny miaramilany, dia niala tao Gerara hankany amin’ Isaka.

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

27 Fa hoy Isaka taminy: Nahoana ianareo no mankaty amiko, kanefa nankahala ahy ianareo ka nandroaka ahy niala teo aminareo?

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 Ary hoy izy ireo: Efa hitanay marimarina fa momba anao Jehovah, ka dia hoy izahay: Aoka samy hanao fianianana isika, dia izahay sy ianao, ary aoka izahay hanao fanekena aminao,

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 fa tsy hanisy ratsy anay ianao, tahaka ny tsy nanendrenay anao akory, sy tahaka ny tsy nanaovanay na inona na inona taminao afa-tsy ny soa ihany, fa efa nampandehaninay soa aman-tsara ianao. Fa ianao ankehitriny efa notahin’ i Jehovah.

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 Dia nanao fanasana ho azy Isaka, ka dia nihinana sy nisotro izy.

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

31 Dia nifoha maraina koa izy, ka samy nanao fianianana; dia nampandehanin’ Isaka ireo, ka dia lasa nody soa aman-tsara izy.

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 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia avy ny mpanompon’ Isaka ka nanambara taminy ny amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana izay efa nohadiny ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa nahita rano izahay.

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 Dia nanao ny anarany hoe Sheba izy; izany no nanaovana ny anaran’ ny tanàna hoe Beri-sheba mandraka androany.

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

34 Ary rehefa efa-polo taona Esao, dia nampakatra an’ i Jodita, zanakavavin’ i Bery Hetita, sy Basemata, zanakavavin’ i Elona Hetita, izy.

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 Dia nangidy tamin’ ny fanahin’ Isaka sy Rebeka indrindra ireny.

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