1 Kwasekusiba lendlala elizweni, ngaphandle kwendlala yakuqala eyayikhona ngesikhathi sika-Abhrahama, u-Isaka waya ku-Abhimelekhi inkosi yamaFilistiya eGerari.
Agatekna ko'ma Abrahamu knafi fore hu'neankna huno ana mopafina fore higeno, Aisaki'a Gerari kumate Filistia kini ne' Abimelekintega vu'ne.
2 UThixo wabonakala ku-Isaka wathi, “Ungehleli eGibhithe; hlala elizweni engithi hlala khona.
Ra Anumzamo'a agrite efore huno amanage huno asmi'ne. Nagrama kasmisua mopare manigahananki, Isipia ovuo.
3 Ake uhlale kulelilizwe okwesikhatshana, mina ngizakuba lawe ngikubusise. Ngoba wena lezizukulwane zakho ngizalinika wonke amazwe la njalo ngiqinise isifungo engasifunga kuyihlo u-Abhrahama.
Ama mopafi mani'nege'na, Nagra asomu hunegantane'na kagri'ene kagehe'ine ama mopa mika nerami'na, Nagrama huvempa negafa Abrahamuma hunte'noa kea eri knare ha'neno.
4 Ngizakwenza izizukulwane zakho zibe zinengi njengezinkanyezi emkhathini, ngizinike wonke lamazwe, njalo kuthi ngenzalo yakho zonke izizwe emhlabeni zizabusiswa,
Nagra kagehe'ina zamazeri ra ha'nenke'za monafi hanafi kna hanage'na, Nagra ama mopa kagehe'i zamisugeno, kagehe'impinti miko kokankoka vahe'mo'za asomura erigahaze.
5 ngoba u-Abhrahama wangilalela, wagcina izimiso zami, lemilayo yami, kanye lemithetho yami.”
Na'ankure kema huankea Abrahamu'a amagenenteno Nagri kasegene tra ke'nianena avariri'ne.
6 Ngakho u-Isaka wahlala eGerari.
Ana higeno Aisaki'a Gerari mopare mani'ne.
7 Kwathi lapho abantu baleyondawo bembuza ngomkakhe wathi, “Ngudadewethu,” ngoba wayesesaba ukuthi, “Ngumkami.” Wacabanga wathi, “Amadoda alapha angangibulala ngenxa kaRabheka, ngoba muhle kakhulu.”
Ana kumate vahe'mo'za Aisakina nenaronku antahi kageno agra a'nimo'e huno huzankura koro nehuno Nensaro'e hu'ne. Hagi agrama agesama antahiana Rebeka'a vahe'mofo anunu hu'are mani'negeno, ana kumate vahe'mo'za ahezanku anage hu'ne.
8 Kwathi u-Isaka esehlale khona okwesikhathi eside, u-Abhimelekhi inkosi yamaFilistiya wakhangela ngefasitela wabona u-Isaka egone umkakhe uRabheka.
Za'za kna anampi umaniteno, Aisaki'a nenaro Rebeka agazafe'negeno, Abimeleki'a Filistia kini ne'mo nomofo zaho eri kampinti ke'ne.
9 Ngakho wasebiza u-Isaka wathi, “Kanti ngumkakho ngeqiniso! Kungani uthe ungudadewenu?” U-Isaka wamphendula wathi, “Ngoba ngakhumbula ukuthi ngingalahlekelwa yimpilo yami ngenxa yakhe.”
Anante Abimeleki'a, Aisakina ke higeno egeno, amanage huno asami'ne, Antahio, tamage huno ami kagri a' mani'ne! Nahigenka kagra nensaro'e hunka hu'nane? Higeno Aisaki'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Na'ankure agriteku hu'za vahe'mo'za nahe fri'zanku anagea hu'noe.
10 U-Abhimelekhi wasesithi, “Kuyini lokhu okwenzileyo kithi? Omunye wamadoda ubezaqabuka elala laye umkakho, ubususibangela icala.”
Higeno Abimeleki'a amanage hu'ne, Amazana naza hunerantane? Mago vahe'mo'ma neganaro'ene maseresina, kagra mago knaza eri tamisine.
11 Ngakho u-Abhimelekhi wasekhupha umlayo ebantwini bonke wathi, “Lowo ozake ayithinte indoda le loba umkayo ngempela uzabulawa.”
Anage huteno Abimeleki'a hakare vahe mago kasege antezmanteno amanage hu'ne, aza'o ama nero, nenarono avako'ma hanimofona ahe frigahaze.
12 U-Isaka walima amabele kulelolizwe, ngalowomnyaka wavuna okuphindwe ngekhulu, ngoba uThixo wambusisa.
Hagi Aisaki'a ana mopafina avimaza hozafima hankre'neana ana kafufina 100'a agatereno hamare'ne. Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunte'ne.
13 Umuntu lo wanotha kakhulu, lemfuyo yakhe yanda kakhulukazi.
Ana higeno Aisaki'a feno ne' fore nehuno, mago'ene ra huno tusi'a feno anteno, mika feno ante agatere'nea ne' mani'ne.
14 Waba lemihlambi yezimvu lenkomo emikhulu kakhulu, kanye lezisebenzi ezinengi, amaFilistiya aze aba lomona ngaye.
Aisaki'a sipisipi zagane, memeki zagane, Bulimakaone, eri'za vahe'ene, rama'a ante'nege'za, Filistia vahe'mo'za zamasigu hunte'naze.
15 Kwasekusithi yonke imithombo eyayigejwe yizisebenzi ngesikhathi sikayise u-Abhrahama, amaFilistiya ayivala ngokuyigqibela ngenhlabathi.
Ana hige'za mika tinkerima agri nefa Abrahamu eri'za vahe'mo'zama ko'ma kafimante'nazana, Filisti'a vahe'mo'za mopa kate'za refite'naze.
16 U-Abhimelekhi wasesithi ku-Isaka, “Suka kithi; ususuke waba lamandla kakhulu kulathi.”
Hagi henka Abimeleki'a amanage huno Aisakina asmi'ne, Kagra tagrira tagaterenka hanave'nentake hananki, tagri'pintira atrenka vuo.
17 Ngakho u-Isaka wasuka lapho wayakuma eSigodini saseGerari, wahle wakha khona.
Hazageno Aisaki'a atreno Gerari agupofi seli no omegino anantega mani'ne.
18 U-Isaka wayiphanda imithombo eyayigejwe ngesikhathi sikayise u-Abhrahama, eyayigqitshelwe ngamaFilistiya ngemva kokuba u-Abhrahama esefile, wayibiza ngalawo mabizo uyise ayeyibiza ngawo.
Hagi Aisaki'a eteno korapa Abrahamu kafinte'nea tinkeriramina eri so'e hu'ne. Na'ankure nefa'ma fritege'za Filistia vahe'mo'za refite'naza tinkeri raminkino, kafiteno nefa'ma ami'nea agi'aramina erikasefa huno antetere hu'ne.
19 Izisebenzi zika-Isaka zagebha esigodini zafumana umthombo olamanzi amahle khonapho.
Aisaki eri'za vahe'mo'za ana agupofi tinkeri nesageno, anampinti ti hanatino mareri'ne.
20 Kodwa abelusi baseGerari baxabana labelusi baka-Isaka bathi, “Amanzi la ngawethu!” Ngakho umthombo lowo wawuthi yi-Eseki, ngoba bawubanga laye.
Hianagi Gerari afu kva vahe'mo'za, Aisaki afu kva vahera frage huzmante'za amanage hu'naze. Ama tagri tine! Hazageno Aisaki'a agi'a Eseki'e huno ante'ne. Na'ankure zamagra frage hunante'nazagu hu'ne.
21 Ngakho basebesimba omunye umthombo, kodwa lawo bawubanga njalo; wasewubiza ngokuthi yiSithina.
Aisaki eri'za vahe'mo'za mago'ane ru tinkeri nesageno, esaza hu'za Gerari vahe'mo'za fra vazizmente'naze. Fra vazizageno negeno, Aisaki'a ana tinkerimofona Sitne huno agia ante'ne.
22 Wasuka lapho wayagebha omunye umthombo, akwabe kusaba khona owubangayo. Wawuthi yiRehobhothi, esithi, “Manje uThixo usesiphile indawo, sesizaphumelela kuleli ilizwe.”
Aisaki'a ana tinkeria atreno ru tinkeri ome kafige'za, hafra huontageno, ana tinkerimofo agi'a Rehoboti'e huno nenteno anage hu'ne, na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a tazahuno kankamuna retro hurante'neankita, ama ana mopare manineta, maka zampina knare hugahune.
23 Esuka lapho waya eBherishebha.
Hagi Aisaki'a ana kumara atreno marerino Berseba kumate uhanati'ne.
24 Ngalobobusuku uThixo wabonakala kuye wathi, “NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo u-Abhrahama. Ungesabi, ngoba ngilawe; ngizakubusisa ngandise ubunengi bezizukulwane zakho ngenxa yenceku yami u-Abhrahama.”
Ana'ma uhanatia kenegera Ra Anumzamo'a efore humino amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra Abrahamu nafaka'amofo Anumzane, e'igu korora osuo. Nagra kagrane mani'nena asomura hunegantena henka'a kagripinti kegehe'za fore hanamoki'zminena zamazeri hakare hugahue. Na'ankure Abrahamu'a Nagri eri'za vahe mani'negu anara hugahue.
25 U-Isaka wakha i-Alithari khonapho wamemeza ibizo likaThixo. Wamisa ithente lakhe khonapho, izisebenzi zakhe zemba umthombo khonapho.
Hutegeno Aisaki'a ana kumatera Kresramana vu ita trohuno, Ra Anumzamofo agi hanta vazino ana kumateke seli no azeri onetige'za, Aisaki eri'za vahe'mo'za mago tinkeri kafi'naze.
26 Ngalesosikhathi u-Abhimelekhi weza kuye evela eGerari, elo-Ahuzathi umeluleki wakhe loFikholi umlawuli wamabutho akhe.
Hagi Abimeleki'a Aisaki ome kenaku Gerari nevuno, magora knare antahintahi nemia ne' agi'a Ahusati'e, hanki magora sondia vahe'amofo kva ne' Fikoligizni neznavreno vu'ne.
27 U-Isaka wababuza wathi, “Lilandeni kimi, njengoba lalingizonda laze langixotsha?”
Aisaki'a amanage huno zamantahige'ne, Ko'ma mopa tamifintira tamavesra hunanteta nahe nati'nazanki, tamagra na'anku nagritega neaze?
28 Bamphendula bathi, “Sabona kamhlophe ukuthi uThixo wayelawe; yikho sasesicabanga ukuthi kumele kube lesivumelwano esibotshiweyo phakathi kwethu lawe. Kasenze isibopho lawe
Higeno ana kemofo nona'a anage hu'naze, Ra Anumzamo'a kagrane mani'neno kaza nehigeta negeta, tagra anage nehune, Kagri ene tagri ene amu'notifina tamage hunka huvempa naneke hugeta kagrane, tagranena hagerfita mani'maneno.
29 esokuthi kawusoze usihlukuluze, njengoba lathi singazange sikulimaze ngalutho kodwa sakuvalelisa ngokuthula. Khathesi usubusisiwe nguThixo.”
Kagra, tagrira tazeri havizana osugahane. Tagra kazeri havizana kagrira osuta, trimpa frune hugantonkenka e'nane. Menina Ra Anumzamo knare huneganteno asomura hunegante.
30 U-Isaka wasebenzela idili, badla banatha.
Hazageno ana kezmia nentahino, Aisaki'a ra kave kre zamentege'za tine ana ne'zana ne'naze.
31 Ekuseni kakhulu ngelanga elilandelayo amadoda wonke enza isifungo omunye komunye. U-Isaka wasebavulela indlela bahamba ngokuthula.
Nanterame oti'za raruma hu'za manisaza huvempagea hute'za, anante Aisaki'a huno, Tamarimpa frune viho, huno huzmantege'za vu'naze.
32 Ngalolosuku izisebenzi zika-Isaka zabuya zamtshela ngomthombo ezaziwugebhile. Zathi, “Sesiwatholile amanzi!”
Ana'ma huzamantege'za vaza zupa, Aisaki eri'za vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za eme asmi'naze. Hago mago tinkerima kafinompintira tina fore hie.
33 Wawuthi yiShibha, osekuze kube namuhla idolobho kuthiwa yiBherishebha.
Ana tinkerimofo agi'a Sibae huno ante'ne. Meninena ana kumamo'a rahige'za Berseba kumare hu'za nehaze.
34 Kwathi u-Esawu eseleminyaka yobudala engamatshumi amane, wathatha uJudithi indodakazi kaBheri umHithi njalo loBhasemathi indodakazi ka-Eloni umHithi.
Iso'a 40'a zagegafu maniteno, Hiti ne'mofo mofa' eri'ne, agi'a Juditi'e, nefa'a Beri'e. Hanki mago a'amofo agi'a Basematikino Hiti ne' Eloni mofare.
35 Baletha ukukhathazeka kakhulu ku-Isaka loRabheka.
Ana a'tremokizni mani'zamo Aisakine Rebekagiznia zanarimpa zanata zanami'ne.
