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 is a famine in the land, besides the first famine which was in the days of Abraham, and Isaac goeth unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

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

And Jehovah appeareth unto him, and saith, 'Go not down towards Egypt, tabernacle in the land concerning which I speak unto 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.

sojourn in this land, and I am with thee, and bless thee, for to thee and to thy seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to 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 have multiplied thy seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to thy seed all these lands; and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth;

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

because that Abraham hath hearkened to My voice, and keepeth My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.'

6 Yisihaaqis Geraaraa keessa jiraate.

And Isaac dwelleth 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 men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith, 'She [is] my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, 'My wife — lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is] of good 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 cometh to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looketh through the window, and seeth, and lo, Isaac is playing 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 calleth for Isaac, and saith, 'Lo, she [is] surely thy wife; and how hast thou said, She [is] my sister?' and Isaac saith unto him, 'Because I said, Lest I 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 saith, 'What [is] this thou hast done to us? as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us guilt;'

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

and Abimelech commandeth all the people, saying, 'He who cometh against this man or against his wife, dying doth die.'

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

And Isaac soweth in that land, and findeth in that year a hundredfold, and Jehovah blesseth him;

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

and the man is great, and goeth on, going on and becoming great, till that he hath been very great,

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

and he hath possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy 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 digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines have stopped them, and fill them with dust.

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

And Abimelech saith unto Isaac, 'Go from us; for thou hast become much mightier than we;'

17 Yisihaaq achii kaʼee sulula Geraaraa keessa qubatee achi jiraate.

and Isaac goeth from thence, and encampeth in the valley of Gerar, and dwelleth 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 turneth back, and diggeth the wells of water which they digged in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines do stop after the death of Abraham, and he calleth to them names according to the names which his father called them.

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

And Isaac's servants dig in the valley, and find there a well of living 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 shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, 'The water [is] ours;' and he calleth the name of the well 'Strife,' because they have striven habitually 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 dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calleth its name 'Hatred.'

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 removeth from thence, and diggeth another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calleth its name Enlargements, and saith, 'For — now hath Jehovah given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.'

23 Innis achii kaʼee gara Bersheebaatti ol baʼe.

And he goeth up from 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 Jehovah appeareth unto him during that night, and saith, 'I [am] the God of Abraham thy father, fear not, for I [am] with thee, and have blessed thee, and have multiplied thy seed, because 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 buildeth there an altar, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah, and stretcheth out there his tent, and there Isaac's servants dig a well.

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

And Abimelech hath gone unto him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol head of his host;

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

and Isaac saith unto them, 'Wherefore have ye come unto me, and ye have hated me, and ye send 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 say, 'We have certainly seen that Jehovah hath been with thee, and we say, 'Let there be, we pray thee, an oath between us, between us and thee, and let us 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.”

do not evil with us, as we have not touched thee, and as we have only done good with thee, and send thee away in peace; thou [art] now blessed of Jehovah.'

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

And he maketh for them a banquet, and they eat and drink,

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

and rise early in the morning, and swear one to another, and Isaac sendeth them away, and they go from him in peace.

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

And it cometh to pass during that day that Isaac's servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances of the well which they have digged, and say to him, 'We have found water;'

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

and he calleth it Shebah, [oath, ] therefore the name of the city [is] Beer-Sheba, [well of the oath, ] 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 Esau is a son of forty years, and he taketh a wife, Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite,

35 Isaanis Yisihaaqii fi Ribqaa gaddisiisan.

and they are a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
