8 Isaka akati agara ikoko kwenguva refu, Abhimereki mambo wavaFiristia akatarira pasi napawindo akaona Isaka achitamba nomukadzi wake Rabheka.
Na thuutha wa Isaaka arĩkĩtie gũikara kũu kahinda karaihu-rĩ, Abimeleku mũthamaki wa Afilisti nĩacũthĩrĩirie nja na ndirica, nake akĩona Isaaka akĩhambata mũtumia wake Rebeka.
9 Saka Abhimereki akadana Isaka akati, “Mukadzi wako chaiye uyu! Seiko wakati, ‘Ihanzvadzi yangu’?” Isaka akapindura akati, “Nokuti ndakafunga kuti ndingafa nokuda kwake.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Abimeleku agĩtũmanĩra Isaaka, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ũyũ nĩ mũtumia waku! Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire uuge atĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩ mwarĩ wa baba’?” Isaaka akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tondũ ndeciiririe ndahota kũũragwo nĩ ũndũ wake.”
10 Ipapo Abhimereki akati, “Chiiko ichi chawakaita kwatiri? Mumwe wavarume aigona kunge akavata nomukadzi wako, uye ungadai wakazouyisa mhosva pamusoro pedu.”
Ningĩ Abimeleku akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa ũguo ũtwĩkĩte? Ĩ mũndũ mũrũme ũmwe wa gũkũ angĩrakorirwo akomete na mũtumia waku, nawe ũgĩtũme tũnyiitwo nĩ ihĩtia?”
11 Saka Abhimereki akarayira vanhu vake vose achiti, “Ani naani anobata murume uyu kana mukadzi wake achaurayiwa zvirokwazvo.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Abimeleku akĩruta watho kũrĩ andũ othe, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩthĩĩnia mũndũ ũyũ kana mũtumia wake no kũũragwo akooragwo.”
12 Isaka akadyara zviyo munyika uye mugore racho iroro akakohwa zvakapetwa kazana, nokuti Jehovha akamuropafadza.
Nake Isaaka akĩhaanda irio bũrũri ũcio, na mwaka o ro ũcio akĩgetha maita igana, tondũ Jehova nĩamũrathimire.
13 Murume uyu akava mupfumi, uye pfuma yake yakaramba ichiwanda kusvikira apfuma kwazvo.
Nake Isaaka agĩtonga, naguo ũtonga wake ũgĩthiĩ o ũkĩingĩhaga o nginya agĩtonga mũno.
14 Akanga ana makwai mazhinji nemombe dzakawanda navaranda vakawanda zvokuti vaFiristia vakamuitira godo.
Aarĩ na ndũũru nyingĩ cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe, na ndungata nyingĩ, o nginya Afilisti makĩmũiguĩra ũiru.
15 Saka matsime ose akanga acherwa navaranda vababa vake panguva yababa vake Abhurahama, vaFiristia vakaadzivira, vachiazadza nevhu.
Tondũ ũcio, ithima iria ciothe ndungata cia ithe cienjete hĩndĩ ya ithe Iburahĩmu-rĩ, Afilisti magĩcithika, magĩciyũria tĩĩri.
16 Ipapo Abhimereki akati kuna Isaka, “Ibva uende kure nesu; wanyanya kuva nesimba zvokutipfuura.”
Ningĩ Abimeleku akĩĩra Isaaka atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra ũthiĩ, ũtweherere, tondũ nĩũgĩĩte na hinya mũno gũtũkĩra.”
17 Saka Isaka akabvapo akandodzika musasa muMupata weGera akagara ikoko.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Isaaka agĩthaama, akĩehera kũu, agĩthiĩ kwamba hema Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Gerari, na agĩtũũra kuo.
18 Isaka akacherazve matsime akanga acherwa panguva yababa vake Abhurahama, iwo akanga adzivirwa navaFiristia shure kwokufa kwaAbhurahama, uye akaapa mazita mamwe chetewo aakanga atumidzwa nababa vake.
Isaaka agĩthikũria ithima iria cienjetwo hĩndĩ ya ithe Iburahĩmu, o icio Afilisti maathikĩte thuutha wa Iburahĩmu gũkua, na agĩciĩta marĩĩtwa o marĩa ithe aacihete.
19 Varanda vaIsaka vakachera muMupata vakawanamo tsime remvura yakanaka.
Na rĩrĩ, ndungata cia Isaaka nĩcienjire kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ na igĩkora gĩthima kĩa maaĩ mega kuo.
20 Asi vafudzi veGerari vakakakavadzana navafudzi vaIsaka vachiti, “Mvura iyi ndeyedu!” Saka akatumidza tsime iro zita rokuti Eseki, nokuda kwokuti vakapesana naye.
No rĩrĩ, arĩithi a Gerari makĩnegenania na arĩithi a Isaaka, makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Maaĩ maya nĩ maitũ!” Nake agĩĩta gĩthima kĩu Eseku, tondũ nĩmakararanirie nake.
21 Ipapo vakacherazve rimwe tsime, asi vakakakavadzana pamusoro parowo; saka akaritumidza zita rokuti Sitima.
