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.
Now a famine happened in the land, besides the first famine that had been in the days of Abraham. 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.
Now Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land that I tell you to live in.
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;
Stay in this very land, and I will be with you and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will fulfill the oath that I swore to Abraham your 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;
I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and will give to your descendants all these lands. Through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed.
5 satria efa nihaino ny feoko Abrahama ka nitandrina izay nasaiko notandremany, dia ny didiko sy ny teniko ary ny lalàko.
I will do this because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my instructions, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
6 Ary Isaka dia nitoetra tany Gerara.
So Isaac settled 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.
When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” He feared to say, “She is my wife,” because he thought, “The men of this place will kill me to get Rebekah, because she is so 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.
After Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines happened to look out of a window. He saw, behold, Isaac was caressing 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.
Abimelech called Isaac to him and said, “Look, certainly she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?” Isaac said to him, “Because I thought someone might kill me to get her.”
10 Ary hoy Abimeleka: Inona izao nataonao taminay izao? Saiky nisy nandry tamin’ ny vadinao ny olona, dia ho nahatonga heloka taminay ianao.
Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
11 Dia nandidy ny vahoakany rehetra Abimeleka ka nanao hoe: Izay manendry io lehilahy io na ny vadiny dia hatao maty tokoa.
So Abimelech warned all the people and said, “Whoever touches this man or his wife will 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.
Isaac planted crops in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold, because Yahweh blessed him.
13 Ary nanan-karena ralehilahy ka nandroso sy nitombo ambara-pahatongany ho mpanjatobe indrindra;
The man became rich, and grew more and more until he became very great.
14 fa nanana fananana be izy, dia ondry aman’ osy sy omby ary andevo maro; ka dia nialona azy ny Filistina.
He had many sheep and cattle, and a large household. The Philistines envied 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.
Now all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up by filling them with earth.
16 Ary hoy Abimeleka tamin’ Isaka: Miala atỳ aminay; fa ianao mahery lavitra noho izahay.
Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
17 Ary lasa niala teo Isaka, dia nanorina ny lainy teo an-dohasahan’ i Gerara ka nonina teo.
So Isaac departed from there and settled in the Valley of Gerar, and lived 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.
Once again Isaac dug out the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. The Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham's death. Isaac called the wells by the same names that his father had called them.
19 Dia nihady teo amin’ ny lohasaha ny mpanompon’ Isaka ka nahita loharano velona teo.
When Isaac's servants dug in the valley, they found there a well 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.
The herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, and said, “This water is ours.” So Isaac called that well “Esek,” because they had quarreled with him.
21 Dia nihady lavaka fantsakana hafa koa izy, ka niadiany indray io; ary ny anarany dia nataony hoe Sitna.
Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that, too, 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.
He left there and dug yet another well, but they did not quarrel over that one. So he called it Rehoboth, and he said, “Now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”
23 Dia niakatra niala teo izy ka nankany Beri-sheba.
Then Isaac went up from there to Beersheba.
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.
Yahweh appeared to him that same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not fear, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants, 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.
Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of Yahweh. There he pitched his tent, and his servants dug a well.
26 Ary Abimeleka mbamin’ i Ahozata sakaizany sy Pikola, komandin’ ny miaramilany, dia niala tao Gerara hankany amin’ Isaka.
Then Abimelech went 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?
Isaac said to them, “Why are you coming to me, since you hate me and have 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,
Then they said, “We have clearly seen that Yahweh has been with you. So we decided that there should be an oath between us, yes, between us and you. So let us make a covenant 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 harm, just as we have not harmed you, and as we have treated you well and have sent you away in peace. Indeed, you are blessed by Yahweh.”
30 Dia nanao fanasana ho azy Isaka, ka dia nihinana sy nisotro izy.
So Isaac made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31 Dia nifoha maraina koa izy, ka samy nanao fianianana; dia nampandehanin’ Isaka ireo, ka dia lasa nody soa aman-tsara izy.
They rose early in the morning and swore an oath with each other. Then Isaac sent them away, and they left him 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.
That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well that they had dug. They said, “We have found water.”
33 Dia nanao ny anarany hoe Sheba izy; izany no nanaovana ny anaran’ ny tanàna hoe Beri-sheba mandraka androany.
He called the well Shibah, so the name of that city is Beersheba 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.
When Esau was forty years old, he took a wife, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 Dia nangidy tamin’ ny fanahin’ Isaka sy Rebeka indrindra ireny.
They brought sorrow to Isaac and Rebekah.
