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.

And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines to Gerara.

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

And the Lord appeared to him and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.

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;

And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.

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;

And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.

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

Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.

6 Ary Isaka dia nitoetra tany Gerara.

So Isaac abode in Gerara.

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 asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty.

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 very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca 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 calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.

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

And Abimelech said: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying:

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

He that shall touch this man’s wife, shall surely 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.

And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.

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

And the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great:

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

And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying him,

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.

Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:

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

Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.

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

So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell 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 digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called them.

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

And they digged in the torrent, and found living 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 there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.

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

And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.

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.

Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.

23 Dia niakatra niala teo izy ka nankany Beri-sheba.

And he went up from that place to Bersabee,

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.

Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.

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.

And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded his servants to dig a well.

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

To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,

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

Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out 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 answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,

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 thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing of the Lord.

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

And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:

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

Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.

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 behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water.

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

Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even 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 Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon of the same place.

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

And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.
