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 land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham; and Isaac went unto Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.
2 Waaqayyos Yisihaaqitti mulʼatee akkana jedhe; “Biyya ani akka ati keessa jiraattuuf sitti himu keessa jiraadhu malee Gibxitti gad hin buʼin.
And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of.
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.
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, will I give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto 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.
And I will cause thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and I will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves.
5 Kunis waan Abrahaam dubbii koo dhagaʼee fedhii koo, ajaja koo, labsii kootii fi seera koo eegeef.”
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 Yisihaaqis Geraaraa keessa jiraate.
And Isaac 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] concerning his wife; and he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, [said he, ] the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she is of a handsome appearance.
8 Erga Yisihaaq yeroo dheeraa achi jiraatee booddee, Abiimelek mootichi Filisxeemii foddaa keessaan gad ilaale; utuu Yisihaaq niitii isaa Ribqaa hooqsuu arge.
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, looked out at a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was 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.
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I thought, Perhaps I may die 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.
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? How easily might one of the people have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldst have brought guiltiness upon us.
11 Kana irratti Abiimelek, “Namni namicha kana yookaan niitii isaa tuqu kam iyyuu dhugumaan ajjeefamuu qaba” jedhee nama hundaaf ajaja kenne.
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Yisihaaqis biyya sanatti midhaan facaafatee waan Waaqayyo isa eebbiseef baruma sana keessa dachaa dhibba galfate.
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundred-fold: so the Lord blessed him.
13 Innis ni hore; hamma akka malee sooromuttis qabeenyi isaa ittuma fufee baayʼate.
And the man became great, and went forward and grew, until he became very great;
14 Innis bushaayee, loowwanii fi hojjettoota hedduu qaba ture; Filisxeemonnis isatti hinaafan.
And he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants; and the Philistines envied him.
15 Kanaafuu Filisxeemonni boolla bishaanii hojjettoonni abbaa isaa bara Abrahaam keessa qotan hundatti biyyoo naqanii duuchan.
And all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, these the Philistines stopped, and filled them with earth.
16 Abiimelekis Yisihaaqiin, “Ati baayʼee nu caalaa jabaatteertaatii nurraa deemi” jedhe.
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go away from us; for thou hast become much mightier than we.
17 Yisihaaq achii kaʼee sulula Geraaraa keessa qubatee achi jiraate.
And Isaac 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 Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 Tajaajiltoonni Yisihaaq sulula sana keessatti lafa qotanii boolla bishaan burquu argatan.
And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing 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.
And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Essek; because they strove 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.
And they dug another well, and they strove 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.
And he removed from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rechoboth, and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall increase in the land.
23 Innis achii kaʼee gara Bersheebaatti ol baʼe.
And he went up from there 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 unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraham my servant.
25 Yisihaaq achitti iddoo aarsaa ijaaree maqaa Waaqayyoo waammate. Dunkaana isaas achi dhaabbate; tajaajiltoonni isaas iddoo sanatti boolla bishaanii qotatan.
And he built there an altar, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched there his tent: and the servants of Isaac dug there a well.
26 Ergasiis Abiimelek gorsaa isaa Ahuzaatii fi ajajaa loltoota isaa Fiikool wajjin Geraaraadhaa kaʼee gara Yisihaaq dhufe.
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
27 Yisihaaq immoo, “Isin erga na jibbitanii of biraa na ariitanii maaliif gara koo dhuftan?” isaaniin jedhe.
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing that ye do hate me, and have sent me 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.
And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with thee; and we said, Let there be now an oath between us and thee; and we will make a covenant 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.”
That thou shalt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now one blessed of the Lord.
30 Yisihaaqis nyaata isaaniif qopheesse; isaanis ni nyaatan; ni dhuganis.
And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31 Namoonni sun guyyaa itti aanu ganama barraaqa kaʼanii walii kakatan. Yisihaaqis isaan geggeesse; jarris nagumaan isa biraa deeman.
And they rose up betimes in the morning, and they swore one to the other; and Isaac sent them away, 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 it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and they said unto him, We have found water.
33 Innis boolla bishaanii sana, “Shibeʼaa” jedhee moggaase. Hamma harʼaatti maqaan magaalaa sanaa Bersheebaa jedhama.
And he called it Shibah: therefore is the name of the city Beer-sheba unto this day.
34 Esaawu yeroo umuriin isaa waggaa afurtama guuteetti Yoodiiti intala Biʼeer namicha gosa Heeti akkasumas Baasmati intala Eeloon namicha gosa Heeti fuudhe.
And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Bahsemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 Isaanis Yisihaaqii fi Ribqaa gaddisiisan.
And they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
