Uumama 26

1 Beela isa bara Abrahaam biyyichatti buʼe sana malee beelli biraa tokko ammas biyya sanatti buʼe; Yisihaaqis gara Geraaraa gara Abiimelek mooticha Filisxeem dhaqe.

And there was a famine in the lande besides the first famine that was in the dayes of Abraham. Wherefore Izhak went to Abimelech King of the Philistims vnto Gerar.

2 Waaqayyos Yisihaaqitti mulʼatee akkana jedhe; “Biyya ani akka ati keessa jiraattuuf sitti himu keessa jiraadhu malee Gibxitti gad hin buʼin.

For the Lord appeared vnto him, and sayde, Goe not downe into Egypt, but abide in the land which I shall shewe vnto thee.

3 Biyyuma kana jiraadhu; ani si wajjin nan taʼa; sin eebbisas; biyya kana hunda sii fi sanyii keetiif nan kennaatii. Ani kakuun abbaa kee Abrahaamiif kakadhe sana nan guuta.

Dwell in this lande, and I will be with thee, and will blesse thee: for to thee, and to thy seede I will giue all these countreys: and I will performe the othe which I sware vnto Abraham thy father.

4 Ani akkuma urjiiwwan samii sanyii kee nan baayʼisa; biyya kana hundas isaaniif nan kenna; saboonni lafa irra jiran hundinuus karaa sanyii keetiitiin eebbifamu.

Also I wil cause thy seede to multiply as the starres of heauen, and will giue vnto thy seede all these countreys: and in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,

5 Kunis waan Abrahaam dubbii koo dhagaʼee fedhii koo, ajaja koo, labsii kootii fi seera koo eegeef.”

Because that Abraham obeyed my voyce and kept mine ordinance, my commandements, my statutes, and my Lawes.

6 Yisihaaqis Geraaraa keessa jiraate.

So Izhak dwelt in Gerar.

7 Innis yommuu namoonni biyya sanaa waaʼee niitii isaa isa gaafatanitti waan Ribqaan bareedduu taateef, “Namoonni naannoo kanaa sababii isheetiif na ajjeesu taʼa” jedhee yaaduudhaan, “Isheen niitii koo ti” jechuu sodaatee, “Isheen obboleettii koo ti” jedhe.

And the men of the place asked him of his wife, and he sayd, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife, least, sayde he, the men of the place shoulde kill me, because of Rebekah: for she was beautifull to the eye.

8 Erga Yisihaaq yeroo dheeraa achi jiraatee booddee, Abiimelek mootichi Filisxeemii foddaa keessaan gad ilaale; utuu Yisihaaq niitii isaa Ribqaa hooqsuu arge.

So after hee had bene there long time, Abimelech King of the Philistims looked out at a windowe, and loe, he sawe Izhak sporting with Rebekah his wife.

9 Abiimelekis Yisihaaqin ofitti waamee, “Isheen dhugumaan niitii kee ti! Yoos ati maaliif, ‘Isheen obboleettii koo ti’ jette ree?” jedheen. Yisihaaqis, “Waan ani sababii isheetiif lubbuu koo nan dhaba taʼa jedhee yaadeef” jedhee deebiseef.

Then Abimelech called Izhak, and sayde, Loe, shee is of a suertie thy wife, and why saydest thou, She is my sister? To whom Izhak answered, Because I thought this, It may be that I shall dye for her.

10 Abiimelek immoo, “Wanni ati nutti hojjette kun maali? Utuu namoota kanneen keessaa tokko niitii kee wajjin ciisee jiraatee silaa ati yakka nutti fiddee turte” jedheen.

Then Abimelech said, Why hast thou done this vnto vs? one of the people had almost lien by thy wife, so shouldest thou haue brought sinne vpon vs.

11 Kana irratti Abiimelek, “Namni namicha kana yookaan niitii isaa tuqu kam iyyuu dhugumaan ajjeefamuu qaba” jedhee nama hundaaf ajaja kenne.

Then Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man, or his wife, shall die the death.

12 Yisihaaqis biyya sanatti midhaan facaafatee waan Waaqayyo isa eebbiseef baruma sana keessa dachaa dhibba galfate.

Afterwarde Izhak sowed in that lande, and founde in the same yeere an hundreth folde by estimation: and so the Lord blessed him.

13 Innis ni hore; hamma akka malee sooromuttis qabeenyi isaa ittuma fufee baayʼate.

And the man waxed mightie, and stil increased, till he was exceeding great,

14 Innis bushaayee, loowwanii fi hojjettoota hedduu qaba ture; Filisxeemonnis isatti hinaafan.

For he had flockes of sheepe, and heards of cattell, and a mightie housholde: therefore the Philistims had enuy at him.

15 Kanaafuu Filisxeemonni boolla bishaanii hojjettoonni abbaa isaa bara Abrahaam keessa qotan hundatti biyyoo naqanii duuchan.

In so much that the Philistims stopped and filled vp with earth all the welles, which his fathers seruantes digged in his father Abrahams time.

16 Abiimelekis Yisihaaqiin, “Ati baayʼee nu caalaa jabaatteertaatii nurraa deemi” jedhe.

Then Abimelech sayde vnto Izhak, Get thee from vs, for thou art mightier then wee a great deale.

17 Yisihaaq achii kaʼee sulula Geraaraa keessa qubatee achi jiraate.

Therefore Izhak departed thence and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

18 Yisihaaqis boollawwan bishaanii bara abbaa isaa bara Abrahaam keessa qotaman kanneen Filisxeemonni erga Abrahaam duʼee booddee duuchan sana deebisee bane; innis maquma abbaan isaa kenneefii ture sanaan isaan waame.

And Izhak returning, digged the welles of water, which they had digged in the dayes of Abraham his father: for the Philistims had stopped them after the death of Abraham, and hee gaue them the same names, which his father gaue them.

19 Tajaajiltoonni Yisihaaq sulula sana keessatti lafa qotanii boolla bishaan burquu argatan.

Izhaks seruantes then digged in the valley, and found there a well of liuing water.

20 Tiksoonni Geraaraa, “Bishaan kun kan keenya!” jedhanii tiksoota Yisihaaq wajjin wal lolan. Kanaafuu inni sababii wal falmaniif boolla bishaanii sana, “Eeseeq” jedhee moggaase.

But the herdmen of Gerar did striue with Izhaks herdmen, saying, The water is ours: therefore called he the name of the well Esek, because they were at strife with him.

21 Ergasiis boolla bishaanii biraa qotan; isaan garuu boolla bishaanii sana irrattis wal lolan; kana irratti Yisihaaq boolla bishaanii sana “Sixinaa” jedhee moggaase.

Afterwarde they digged another well, and stroue for that also, and he called the name of it Sitnah.

22 Innis achii kaʼee iddoo biraa dhaqee boolla bishaanii biraa achitti qote; namni tokko iyyuu isa irratti wal hin lolle. Innis, “Waaqayyo amma iddoo balʼaa nuu kenneera; nu biyyattii keessatti ni baayʼanna” jechuudhaan Rehooboot jedheen.

Then he remoued thence, and digged an other well, for the which they stroue not: therefore called hee the name of it Rehoboth, and sayde, Because the Lord hath nowe made vs roome, we shall increase vpon the earth.

23 Innis achii kaʼee gara Bersheebaatti ol baʼe.

So he went vp thence to Beer-sheba.

24 Waaqayyos halkanuma sana isatti mulʼatee akkana jedheen; “Ani Waaqa abbaa kee Abrahaam; ani waan si wajjin jiruuf hin sodaatin. Garbicha koo Abrahaamiif jedhees ani sin eebbisa; sanyii kees nan baayʼisa.”

And the Lord appeared vnto him the same night, and sayde, I am the God of Abraham thy father: feare not, for I am with thee, and wil blesse thee, and will multiplie thy seede for my seruant Abrahams sake.

25 Yisihaaq achitti iddoo aarsaa ijaaree maqaa Waaqayyoo waammate. Dunkaana isaas achi dhaabbate; tajaajiltoonni isaas iddoo sanatti boolla bishaanii qotatan.

Then he builte an altar there, and called vpon the Name of the Lord, and there spred his tent: where also Izhaks seruauntes digged a well.

26 Ergasiis Abiimelek gorsaa isaa Ahuzaatii fi ajajaa loltoota isaa Fiikool wajjin Geraaraadhaa kaʼee gara Yisihaaq dhufe.

Then came Abimelech to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friendes, and Phichol the captaine of his armie.

27 Yisihaaq immoo, “Isin erga na jibbitanii of biraa na ariitanii maaliif gara koo dhuftan?” isaaniin jedhe.

To whom Izhak sayd, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate mee and haue put mee away from you?

28 Isaanis akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Nu akka Waaqayyo si wajjin jiru ifaan ifatti argineerra; kanaafuu nu, ‘Kakuun walii galtee gidduu keenya jechuunis nuu fi si gidduu jiraachuu qaba’ jenne; mee kottu si wajjin walii galtee godhannaa.

Who answered, Wee sawe certainely that the Lord was with thee, and wee thought thus, Let there be nowe an othe betweene vs, euen betweene vs and thee, and let vs make a couenant with thee.

29 Kunis akkuma nu utuu waan gaarii malee waan hamaa sirraan hin gaʼin nagaan of irraa si geggeessine sana akka atis nu hin miineef. Ati amma illee nama Waaqayyo eebbisee dha.”

If thou shalt do vs no hurt, as we haue not touched thee, and as we haue done vnto thee nothing but good, and sent thee away in peace: thou nowe, the blessed of the Lord, doe this.

30 Yisihaaqis nyaata isaaniif qopheesse; isaanis ni nyaatan; ni dhuganis.

Then hee made them a feast, and they dyd eate and drinke.

31 Namoonni sun guyyaa itti aanu ganama barraaqa kaʼanii walii kakatan. Yisihaaqis isaan geggeesse; jarris nagumaan isa biraa deeman.

And they rose vp betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: then Izhak let them go, and they departed from him in peace.

32 Guyyuma sana hojjettoonni Yisihaaq dhufanii waaʼee boolla bishaanii qotan sanaa isaatti himan. Isaanis, “Nu bishaan arganneerra!” jedhan.

And that same day Izhaks seruantes came and tolde him of a well, which they had digged, and said vnto him, We haue found water.

33 Innis boolla bishaanii sana, “Shibeʼaa” jedhee moggaase. Hamma harʼaatti maqaan magaalaa sanaa Bersheebaa jedhama.

So hee called it Shibah: therefore the name of the citie is called Beer-sheba vnto this day.

34 Esaawu yeroo umuriin isaa waggaa afurtama guuteetti Yoodiiti intala Biʼeer namicha gosa Heeti akkasumas Baasmati intala Eeloon namicha gosa Heeti fuudhe.

Nowe when Esau was fourtie yeere olde, he tooke to wife Iudith, the daughter of Beeri an Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon an Hittite also.

35 Isaanis Yisihaaqii fi Ribqaa gaddisiisan.

And they were a griefe of minde to Izhak and to Rebekah.
