Bilowgii 26

1 Waxaa dhulkii ka dhacday abaar, oo aan ahayn tii hore oo waagii Ibraahim dhacday. Markaasaa Isxaaq u kacay xagga Abimeleg oo ahaa boqorkii reer Falastiin xagga Geraar.

Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.

2 Rabbiguna wuu u muuqday isaga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Xagga Masar ha u dhaadhicin, laakiinse deg dhulka aan kuu sheegi doono.

The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.

3 Dhulkan qariib ahaan u deg, oo anna waan kula jiri doonaa, oo waan ku barakayn doonaa; waayo, adiga iyo farcankaaga ayaan dalalkan oo dhan siin doonaa, oo waxaan adkayn doonaa dhaartii aan ugu dhaartay aabbahaa Ibraahim.

Stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.

4 Farcankaagana waxaan u tarmin doonaa sida xiddigaha samada, oo waxaan farcankaaga siin doonaa dalalkan oo dhan, farcankaagayna quruumaha dunida oo dhammu ku barakoobi doonaan;

I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,

5 maxaa yeelay, Ibraahim baa addeecay codkaygii, wuxuuna dhawray wixii la ii dhawri lahaa, iyo xukummadaydii, iyo amarradaydii, iyo qaynuunnadaydii.

because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

6 Isxaaqna wuxuu degganaa Geraar:

So Isaac settled in Gerar.

7 oo dadkii meeshaas joogay baa naagtiisii ka warsaday, oo wuxuu yidhi, Iyadu waa walaashay: waayo, wuu ka cabsaday inuu yidhaahdo, Waa naagtaydii, oo wuxuu isyidhi, waaba intaasoo ay dadka meeshanu igu dilaan Rebeqah aawadeed, maxaa yeelay, way suurad quruxsanayd.

But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of this place will kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”

8 Markuu halkaas wakhti dheer joogay ayaa Abimeleg oo ahaa boqorkii reer Falastiin daaqad ka fiiriyey, oo uu arkay Isxaaq oo naagtiisii Rebeqah la qooqaya.

When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.

9 Markaasuu Abimeleg Isxaaq u yeedhay, oo yidhi, Hubaal iyadu waa naagtaadii. De sidee baad ku tidhi, Waa walaashay? Isxaaqna wuxuu ku yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, waxaan is-idhi, Waaba intaasoo aad u dhimatid iyada aawadeed.

Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”

10 Oo Abimelegna wuxuu ku yidhi, War waa maxay waxan aad nagu samaysay? Mid dadka ka mid ahu dhib yaraan buu ula jiifsan lahaa naagtaada, oo kolkaasaad eed noo soo jiidi lahayd.

“What is this you have done to us?” asked Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”

11 Markaasaa Abimeleg wuxuu dadkii oo dhan ku amray, oo yidhi, Kii ninkan ama naagtiisa taabta hubaal naftaa laga qaadi doonaa.

So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

12 Isxaaqna dhulkaasuu wax ku beertay, isla sannaddiina wuxuu helay boqol laab; Rabbiguna wuu barakeeyey isagii.

Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

13 Ninkiina wuu weynaaday, oo hor u maray, ilaa uu noqday nin aad u weyn,

and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

14 wuxuuna lahaa adhi iyo lo', iyo addoommo fara badan; markaasay reer Falastiin ka masayreen.

He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

15 Ceelashii addoommada aabbihiis qodeen oo dhan waagii aabbihiis Ibraahim noolaa ayay reer Falastiin hore u awdeen oo ciid uga buuxiyeen.

So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.

16 Abimelegna wuxuu Isxaaq ku yidhi, Naga tag; waayo, aad baad nooga xoog badan tahay.

Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

17 Markaasaa Isxaaq halkaas ka tegey, oo dooxadii Geraar degay, halkaasuuna joogay.

So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.

18 Kolkaasaa Isxaaq mar kale qoday ceelashii biyaha oo ay qodeen waagii aabbihiis Ibraahim noolaa, waayo, reer Falastiin baa awday markii Ibraahim dhintay ka dib, oo wuxuu magacyadoodii u bixiyey magacyadii aabbihiis Ibraahim u bixiyey.

Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.

19 Markaasaa addoommadii Isxaaq dooxadii qodeen, oo waxay ka heleen ceel durdur ah.

Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.

20 Markaasaa xoolojirradii reer Geraar la dirireen xoolojirradii Isxaaq, iyagoo leh, Biyaha annagaa leh. Ceelka magiciisiina wuxuu u bixiyey Ceseq, maxaa yeelay, way la dirireen isagii.

But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.

21 Ceel kalena way qodeen, oo kaasna way kula dirireen, markaasuu magiciisii u bixiyey Sitnah.

Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

22 Kolkaasuu meeshaas ka guuray, oo wuxuu qoday ceel kale; kaasna kulama ay diririn; magiciisiina wuxuu u bixiyey Rexobod, oo wuxuu yidhi, Haatan Rabbigu meel buu noo banneeyey, oo dalka waannu ku badnaynaa.

He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”

23 Markaasuu halkaas ka tegey, oo wuxuu u kacay Bi'ir Shebac.

From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,

24 Oo isla habeenkaas ayaa Rabbigu u muuqday isagii oo ku yidhi, Waxaan ahay aabbahaa Ibraahim Ilaahiisa. Ha cabsan, waayo, waan kula jiraa, oo waan ku barakayn doonaa, farcankaagana waan tarmin doonaa addoonkaygii Ibraahim aawadiis.

and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”

25 Kolkaasuu halkaas ka dhisay meel allabari, oo magaca Rabbiga ku baryootamay, halkaas buuna teendhadiisii ka dhisay, markaasaa addoommadii Isxaaq halkaas ceel ka qodeen.

So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.

26 Dabadeedna Abimeleg iyo saaxiibkiis Axusad, iyo Fiikol oo ahaa madaxda ciidankiisa ayaa Geraar ka tegey oo Isxaaq u kacay.

Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

27 Markaasaa Isxaaq ku yidhi, Maxaad iigu timaadeen, waabad i neceb tihiine, oo aad iska kay erideene?

“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”

28 Oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Caddaan baannu u aragnay in Rabbigu kula jiro; oo waxaannu nidhi, Annaga iyo adiga dhaaru ha inoo dhexayso oo aynu axdi dhiganno,

“We can plainly see that the LORD has been with you,” they replied. “We recommend that there should now be an oath between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you

29 inaadan wax na yeelayn, sidii annana aannan kuu taaban, oo aannan waxba kuugu samayn wanaag mooyaane, oo aannu nabad kuugu dirnay. Adigu hadda waxaad tahay kan Rabbigu barakeeyey.

that you will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only good to you, sending you on your way in peace. And now you are blessed by the LORD.”

30 Diyaafad buuna u sameeyey, wayna cuneen oo cabbeen.

So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31 Kolkaasay aroor hore kaceen, oo isu dhaardhaarteen: markaasaa Isxaaq iska diray, iyana nabad bay kaga ambabbaxeen.

And they got up early the next morning and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.

32 Oo isla maalintaas ayay addoommadii Isxaaq yimaadeen, oo ay uga warrameen ceelkii ay qodeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Biyaannu helnay.

On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.

33 Markaasuu u bixiyey Shebcaah; sidaas daraaddeed magaaladaas magaceeda waxaa ilaa maantadan la yidhaahdaa Bi'ir Shebac.

So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.

34 Ceesaw markuu afartan sannadood jiray ayuu guursaday Yuhuudiid ina Be'eerii kii reer Xeed, iyo Basmad ina Eeloon kii reer Xeed.

When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35 Kuwaasuna Isxaaq iyo Rebeqah ayay caloolxumo geliyeen.

And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
