Kenehi 26
1 Na ka matekai te whenua, haunga te matekai tuatahi i puta mai i nga ra o Aperahama. A ka haere a Ihaka ki a Apimereke, kingi o nga Pirihitini, ki Kerara.
And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.
2 Na ka puta mai a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea, Kaua e haere ki raro, ki Ihipa; e noho ki te whenua e korero ai ahau ki a koe:
And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell thee of.
3 E noho i tenei whenua, a ka tata ahau ki a koe, ka manaaki hoki i a koe; ka hoatu nei hoki e ahau enei whenua katoa ki a koutou ko ou uri, a ka whakapumautia te oati i oati ai ahau ki a Aperahama, ki tou papa;
And sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee, and bless thee, for I will give to thee and to thy seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to thy father Abraam.
4 A ka whakanuia e ahau ou uri kia pera me nga whetu o te rangi, ka hoatu hoki e ahau enei whenua katoa ki ou uri; a ma tou uri ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua;
And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to thy seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in thy seed.
5 No te mea i rongo a Aperahama ki toku reo, i mau ki aku ako, ki aku whakahau, ki aku tikanga, ki aku ture.
Because Abraam thy father hearkened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.
6 Na ka noho a Ihaka i Kerara:
And Isaac dwelt in Gerara.
7 A ka ui nga tangata o taua wahi ki tana wahine; a ka mea ia, Ko toku tuahine ia: i wehi hoki ia, te mea ai, Ko taku wahine; i mea hoki, Kei patua ahau e nga tangata o tenei wahi mo Ripeka; he ataahua hoki ia ki te titiro atu.
And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should slay him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.
8 A ka maha ona ra ki reira, ka titiro atu a Apimereke, kingi o nga Pirihitini, i te matapihi, a ka kite, na, ko Ihaka e takaro ana ki a Ripeka, ki tana wahine.
And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.
9 Na ka karangatia e Apimereke a Ihaka, ka mea atu, Koia ano, ko tau wahine tonu ia: na te aha koe i mea ia, Ko taku tuahine ia? Ka mea a Ihaka ki a ia, I mea hoki ahau, Kei mate ahau mona.
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then thy wife? why hast thou said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.
10 Na ka mea a Apimereke, He aha tenei mahi au ki a matou? wahi iti kua takoto tetahi o te iwi nei ki tau wahine, a kua takina mai e koe he hara ki runga ki a matou.
And Abimelech said to him, Why hast thou done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought [a sin of] ignorance upon us.
11 Na ka whakatupato a Apimereke ki tona iwi katoa, ka mea, Ko te tangata e pa ki tenei tangata, ki tana wahine ranei, he pono ka mate ia.
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.
12 A i rui a Ihaka ki taua whenua, a maea ake i taua tau ano kotahi rau: i manaakitia hoki ia e Ihowa:
And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.
13 Na ka kake taua tangata, ka tino nui haere, no ka nui noa ake ia:
And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
14 A ka whiwhi ia i nga kahui hipi, i nga kahui kau, i te tini o te pononga: a ka hae nga Pirihitini ki a ia.
And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.
15 Na ko nga poka katoa i keria e nga pononga a tona papa i nga ra o Aperahama, o tona papa, i tanumia era e nga Pirihitini, i whakakiia hoki ki te oneone.
And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 Na ka mea a Apimereke ki a Ihaka, Haere atu i roto i a matou; he kaha rawa hoki koe i a matou.
And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
17 Na haere atu ana a Ihaka i reira, a whakaturia ana tona puni ki te awaawa o Kerara, a noho ana i reira.
And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and dwelt there.
18 Na ka keria ano e Ihaka nga poka wai i keria ra i nga ra o Aperahama, o tona papa; i tanumia hoki e nga Pirihitini i muri i te matenga o Aperahama: a huaina ana e ia hei ingoa mo aua poka ko nga ingoa i huaina iho e tona papa.
And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.
19 Na ka keri nga pononga a Ihaka ki te awaawa, a ka kitea e ratou i reira he puna manawa whenua.
And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.
20 Na ka tautohe nga hepara o Kerara ki nga hepara a Ihaka, ka mea, Na matou tenei wai: a huaina ana e ia te ingoa o te poka ko Eheke; mo ratou hoki i whakatetete ki a ia.
And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him.
21 Na ka keri ratou i tetahi atu poka, ka tautohetia ano tera e ratou: a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Hitina.
And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.
22 Na ka neke atu ia i reira, a ka keri i tetahi atu poka; kihai tera i tautohetia e ratou: na ka huaina e ia tona ingoa ko Rehopoto; i mea hoki ia, Katahi nei hoki a Ihowa ka whakawatea i tetahi nohoanga mo tatou, a ka hua tatou ki runga ki te whe nua.
And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.
23 Na ka haere atu ia i reira ki runga, ki Peerehepa.
And he went up thence to the well of the oath.
24 A ka puta mai a Ihowa ki a ia i taua po ano, ka mea, Ko ahau te Atua o Aperahama, o tou papa: kaua e wehi, kei a koe nei hoki ahau, a ka manaaki ahau i a koe, ka whakanui hoki i ou uri, he whakaaro ki a Aperahama, ki taku pononga.
And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraam thy father.
25 Na ka hanga e ia he aata ki reira, a ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa, a whakaturia ana hoki e ia tona teneti ki reira: a ka keria tetahi poka ki reira e nga pononga a Ihaka.
And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.
26 Na ka haere mai a Apimereke i Kerara ki a ia, ratou ko Ahutata ko tetahi o ona hoa, ko Pikora hoki, ko te rangatira o tana ope.
And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.
27 A ka mea a Ihaka ki a ratou, I haere mai koutou ki ahau ki te aha, ina hoki kua kino koutou ki ahau, kua pei hoki i ahau i roto i a koutou?
And Isaac said to them, Wherefore have ye come to me? whereas ye hated me, and sent me away from you.
28 A ka mea ratou, I kite marama matou, kei a koe a Ihowa: koia matou i mea ai, Kia takoto aianei he oati ki waenganui i a tatou, ki waenganui o matou, ou, kia whakarite kawenata hoki matou ki a koe;
And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with thee, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and thee, and we will make a covenant with thee,
29 Kia kaua koe e tukino i a matou, kia penei me matou kihai nei i pa ki a koe, kihai hoki i aha ki a koe, heoi ko te pai anake, i ata tuku ano i a koe: inaianei ko koe te manaakitanga a Ihowa.
that thou shalt do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred thee, and according as we have treated thee well, and have sent thee forth peaceably; and now thou art blessed of the Lord.
30 Na ka tukua e ia he hakari ma ratou, a ka kai ratou, ka inu.
And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31 Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, ka oati ratou tetahi ki tetahi: a tukua ana ratou e Ihaka kia haere, a hoki marie atu ana ratou i a ia.
And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.
32 A i taua rangi ano ka haere mai nga pononga a Ihaka, ka korero ki a ia i te poka i keria e ratou, a ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e matou he wai.
And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.
33 A huaina iho e ia taua poka ko Hepaha: no kona te ingoa o tena pa, o Peerehepa, a mohoa noa nei.
And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.
34 A, ka wha tekau nga tau o Ehau, ka tango ia i a Iuriti tamahine a Peeri Hiti, hei wahine mana, rauako Pahemata tamahine a Erona Hiti:
And Esau was forty years old; and he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.
35 A ka waiho raua hei mea pouri ki nga ngakau o Ihaka raua ko Ripeka.
And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
