UGenesisi 26
1 Kwasekusiba lendlala elizweni, ngaphandle kwendlala yakuqala eyayikhona ngesikhathi sika-Abhrahama, u-Isaka waya ku-Abhimelekhi inkosi yamaFilistiya eGerari.
HE wi no ma ia aina, he okoa ka wi mua i hiki mai ai i ka wa ia Aberahama. A hele aku la o Isaaka io Abimeleka la, i ke alii o ko Pilisetia ma Gerara.
2 UThixo wabonakala ku-Isaka wathi, “Ungehleli eGibhithe; hlala elizweni engithi hlala khona.
Ikea aku la o Iehova e ia, i mai La, Mai hele oe ilalo i Aigupita, E noho iho ma ka aina a'u e hai aku ai ia oe:
3 Ake uhlale kulelilizwe okwesikhatshana, mina ngizakuba lawe ngikubusise. Ngoba wena lezizukulwane zakho ngizalinika wonke amazwe la njalo ngiqinise isifungo engasifunga kuyihlo u-Abhrahama.
E noho oe ma keia aina, a me oe pu no wau, a e hoopomaikai aku no wau ia oe: no ka mea, e haawi aku auanei au nou, a no kau poe mamo i keia mau aina a pau; a e hooko auanei au i ka hoohiki ana a'u i hoohiki ai i kou makuakane ia Aberahama.
4 Ngizakwenza izizukulwane zakho zibe zinengi njengezinkanyezi emkhathini, ngizinike wonke lamazwe, njalo kuthi ngenzalo yakho zonke izizwe emhlabeni zizabusiswa,
A e hoonui aku au i kau poe mamo e like me na hoku o ka lani, a e haawi aku. no wau i keia mau aina a pau no kau poe mamo; a i kau mamo e hoopomaikaiia'i na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua:
5 ngoba u-Abhrahama wangilalela, wagcina izimiso zami, lemilayo yami, kanye lemithetho yami.”
No ka mea, i hoolohe mai no o Aberahama i ko'u leo, a i malama hoi i ka'u mau kauoha, i ka'u mau olelo, a me ko'u mau kanawai.
6 Ngakho u-Isaka wahlala eGerari.
A noho iho la o Isaaka ma Gerara.
7 Kwathi lapho abantu baleyondawo bembuza ngomkakhe wathi, “Ngudadewethu,” ngoba wayesesaba ukuthi, “Ngumkami.” Wacabanga wathi, “Amadoda alapha angangibulala ngenxa kaRabheka, ngoba muhle kakhulu.”
Ninau mai la na kanaka o ia wahi ia ia no kana wahine; i aku la ia, O ko'u kaikuwahine no ia: no ka mea, makau iho la ia i ka i aku, Oia ka'u wahine; o pepehi mai na kanaka o ia wahi ia'u no Rebeka; no ka mea, he maikai ia ke nanaia'ku.
8 Kwathi u-Isaka esehlale khona okwesikhathi eside, u-Abhimelekhi inkosi yamaFilistiya wakhangela ngefasitela wabona u-Isaka egone umkakhe uRabheka.
Ia ia i noho ai ma ia wahi a liuliu, nana mai la o Abimeleka o ke alii o ko Pilisetia, ma ka puka makani, ike mai la ia, aia hoi, o Isaaka e lealea ana me kana wahine, me Rebeka.
9 Ngakho wasebiza u-Isaka wathi, “Kanti ngumkakho ngeqiniso! Kungani uthe ungudadewenu?” U-Isaka wamphendula wathi, “Ngoba ngakhumbula ukuthi ngingalahlekelwa yimpilo yami ngenxa yakhe.”
Hea mai la o Abimeleka ia Isaaka, i mai la, Aia hoi, he oiaio no, o kau wahine no ia; a pehea hoi oe i olelo mai ai, O ko'u kaikuwahine ia? I aku la o Isaaka ia ia, No ka mea, i iho la au, E make paha uanei au nona.
10 U-Abhimelekhi wasesithi, “Kuyini lokhu okwenzileyo kithi? Omunye wamadoda ubezaqabuka elala laye umkakho, ubususibangela icala.”
I mai la o Abimeleka, Heaha keia au i hana mai ai ia makou? Ina i moe wale paha kekahi o na kanaka me kau wahine, ina ua hooili mai oe i ka hala maluna o makou.
11 Ngakho u-Abhimelekhi wasekhupha umlayo ebantwini bonke wathi, “Lowo ozake ayithinte indoda le loba umkayo ngempela uzabulawa.”
Kauoha aku o Abimeleka i na kanaka a pau, i ka i ana, O ka mea hoopa aku i keia kanaka, a i kana wahine paha, he oiaio e make ia.
12 U-Isaka walima amabele kulelolizwe, ngalowomnyaka wavuna okuphindwe ngekhulu, ngoba uThixo wambusisa.
Lulu hua iho la o Isaaka ma ia aina, a loaa pahaneri mai la ia ia ia makahiki: a hoopomaikai mai la o Iehova ia ia.
13 Umuntu lo wanotha kakhulu, lemfuyo yakhe yanda kakhulukazi.
Lilo ae la ua kanaka la i mea nui, mahuahua ae la ia, ulu ae la, a lilo i kanaka nui loa:
14 Waba lemihlambi yezimvu lenkomo emikhulu kakhulu, kanye lezisebenzi ezinengi, amaFilistiya aze aba lomona ngaye.
No ka mea, nana na hipa, a me na bipi, a me na kanaka he nui loa: a huahuwa mai la ko Pilisetia ia ia.
15 Kwasekusithi yonke imithombo eyayigejwe yizisebenzi ngesikhathi sikayise u-Abhrahama, amaFilistiya ayivala ngokuyigqibela ngenhlabathi.
A o na punawai a pau i eliia e na kauwa a kona makuakane, i ka wa ia Aberahama, huna ae la ko Pilisetia ia mau mea i ka hoopiha i ka lepo.
16 U-Abhimelekhi wasesithi ku-Isaka, “Suka kithi; ususuke waba lamandla kakhulu kulathi.”
Olelo mai la o Abimeleka ia Isaaka, E hele aku oe mai o makou aku, no ka mea, ua nui loa aku kau, i ka makou.
17 Ngakho u-Isaka wasuka lapho wayakuma eSigodini saseGerari, wahle wakha khona.
Hele aku la o Isaaka, a kukulu iho la i kona halelewa ma ke awawa o Gerara, a noho iho la ilaila.
18 U-Isaka wayiphanda imithombo eyayigejwe ngesikhathi sikayise u-Abhrahama, eyayigqitshelwe ngamaFilistiya ngemva kokuba u-Abhrahama esefile, wayibiza ngalawo mabizo uyise ayeyibiza ngawo.
Eli hou iho la o Isaaka i na luawai a lakou i eli iho ai i ka wa ia Aberahama o kona makuakane; no ka mea, ua huna iho ko Pilisetia ia mau mea mahope o ka make ana o Aberahama: a kapa iho la ia i ko lakou mau inoa, ma na inoa a kona makuakane i kapa iho ai.
19 Izisebenzi zika-Isaka zagebha esigodini zafumana umthombo olamanzi amahle khonapho.
Eli iho la na kanwa a Isaaka ma ke awawa, a loaa iho la ka punawai ilaila, he wai mau.
20 Kodwa abelusi baseGerari baxabana labelusi baka-Isaka bathi, “Amanzi la ngawethu!” Ngakho umthombo lowo wawuthi yi-Eseki, ngoba bawubanga laye.
Hakaka mai la na kahu bipi no Gerara me na kahu bipi o Isaaka, i ka i ana mai, No makou ia wai: a kapa iho la ia i ka inoa o ua luawai la, o Eseka, no ko lakou hakaka ana mai me ia.
21 Ngakho basebesimba omunye umthombo, kodwa lawo bawubanga njalo; wasewubiza ngokuthi yiSithina.
Eli iho la hoi lakou i ka luawai hou, a hakaka mai no hoi lakou no ia mea: a kapa iho la oia i kona inoa, o Sitena.
22 Wasuka lapho wayagebha omunye umthombo, akwabe kusaba khona owubangayo. Wawuthi yiRehobhothi, esithi, “Manje uThixo usesiphile indawo, sesizaphumelela kuleli ilizwe.”
Neenee aku la ia mai ia wahi aku, a eli iho la i ka luawai hou; aole no lakou i hakaka mai no ia mea: a kapa iho la oia i kona inoa, o i Rehobota: i iho la ia, ano hoi, ua haawi mai o Iehova i kahi akea no kakou; a e hoohua auanei kakou ma ka aina.
23 Esuka lapho waya eBherishebha.
A mahope aku, pii aku la ia malaila aku a Beereseba.
24 Ngalobobusuku uThixo wabonakala kuye wathi, “NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo u-Abhrahama. Ungesabi, ngoba ngilawe; ngizakubusisa ngandise ubunengi bezizukulwane zakho ngenxa yenceku yami u-Abhrahama.”
Ikea ae la o Iehova e ia ia po iho, i mai la, Owau no ke Akua o Aberahama o kou makuakane: mai makau oe, owau no me oe, a e hoopomaikai no au ia oe a e hoonui hoi i kau poe mamo no ka'u kauwa, no Aberahama.
25 U-Isaka wakha i-Alithari khonapho wamemeza ibizo likaThixo. Wamisa ithente lakhe khonapho, izisebenzi zakhe zemba umthombo khonapho.
Hana iho la ia i kuahu malaila, a kahea aku la ia i ka inoa o Iehova, a kukulu iho la i kona halelewa ilaila: ilaila hoi na kauwa a Isaaka i eli iho ai i ka luawai.
26 Ngalesosikhathi u-Abhimelekhi weza kuye evela eGerari, elo-Ahuzathi umeluleki wakhe loFikholi umlawuli wamabutho akhe.
Alaila, hele mai la io na la o Abimeleka mai Gerara mai, oia me Ahuzata kekahi hoalauna ona, a me Pikola ka luna koa o kona poe kaua.
27 U-Isaka wababuza wathi, “Lilandeni kimi, njengoba lalingizonda laze langixotsha?”
I aku la o Isaaka ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou i hele mai ai io'u nei, no ka mea, ke inaina mai nei oukou ia'u, a ua hookuke mai nei oukou ia'u mai o oukou aku.
28 Bamphendula bathi, “Sabona kamhlophe ukuthi uThixo wayelawe; yikho sasesicabanga ukuthi kumele kube lesivumelwano esibotshiweyo phakathi kwethu lawe. Kasenze isibopho lawe
Olelo mai la lakou, Ua ike io makou, aia no o Iehova me oe: olelo ae la makou, I hoohiki ana mawaena o kakou, o makou nei, a on la, a e hoopaa makou i berita me oe;
29 esokuthi kawusoze usihlukuluze, njengoba lathi singazange sikulimaze ngalutho kodwa sakuvalelisa ngokuthula. Khathesi usubusisiwe nguThixo.”
I hana ino ole mai oe ia makou, me makou i hoopa ole aku ai ia oe, o ka maikai wale no ka makou i hana aku ai ia oe, a ua hoihoi aku ia oe me ka maluhia: o oe io no ka mea i hoopomaikaiia e Iehova.
30 U-Isaka wasebenzela idili, badla banatha.
Hana iho la ia i ahaaina na lakou, ai iho la lakou a inu hoi.
31 Ekuseni kakhulu ngelanga elilandelayo amadoda wonke enza isifungo omunye komunye. U-Isaka wasebavulela indlela bahamba ngokuthula.
Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, a hoohiki iho la laua, i kekahi i kekahi: hookuu aku la o Isaaka ia lakou, a hoi hou aku la lakou mai ona aku la me ke kuikahi.
32 Ngalolosuku izisebenzi zika-Isaka zabuya zamtshela ngomthombo ezaziwugebhile. Zathi, “Sesiwatholile amanzi!”
Ia la hookahi no, hele mai la na kauwa a Isaaka, a hai mai la ia ia no ka luawai a lakou i eli iho ai, i mai la ia ia, Ua loaa ia makou ka wai.
33 Wawuthi yiShibha, osekuze kube namuhla idolobho kuthiwa yiBherishebha.
Kapa iho la oia ia wahi, o Seba: nolaila, o Beereseba ka inoa o ia kulanakauhale a hiki i keia la.
34 Kwathi u-Esawu eseleminyaka yobudala engamatshumi amane, wathatha uJudithi indodakazi kaBheri umHithi njalo loBhasemathi indodakazi ka-Eloni umHithi.
Hookahi kanaha na makahiki o Esau ia ia i lawe ai ia Iehudita ke kaikamahine a Beeri no ka Heta, a me Basemata ke kaikamahine a Elona no ka Heta, i mau wahine nana:
35 Baletha ukukhathazeka kakhulu ku-Isaka loRabheka.
He mau mea ehaeha laua no ka naau o Isaaka a me Rebeka.
