Mwanzo 26
1 Basi njaa ikatokea katika nchi, mbali na njaa ya kwanza iliyotokea siku za Ibrahimu. Isaka akaenda kwa Abimeleki, mfalme wa Wafilisiti huko Gerari.
And it was a famine in the land besides the famine former which it was in [the] days of Abraham and he went Isaac to Abimelech [the] king of [the] Philistines Gerar towards.
2 Basi Yahwe akamtokea na kumwambia, “Usishuke kwenda Misri; kaa katika nchi niliyokuambia.
And he appeared to him Yahweh and he said may not you go down Egypt towards dwell in the land which I will say to you.
3 Kaa katika nchi hii hii niliyokuambia, nami nitakuwa pamoja nawe na kukubariki; kwani kwako wewe na uzao wako, nitawapa nchi hii yote, nami nitatimiza kiapo nilichomwapia Ibrahimu baba yako.
Sojourn in the land this so I may be with you and I will bless you for to you and to offspring your I will give all the lands these and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham father your.
4 Nitauzidisha uzao wako kama nyota za mbinguni, nami nitawapa uzao wako nchi hizi zote. Kupitia uzao wako mataifa yote ya dunia yatabarikiwa.
And I will multiply offspring your like [the] stars of the heavens and I will give to offspring your all the lands these and they will bless themselves by offspring your all [the] nations of the earth.
5 Nitalifanya hili kwa sababu Ibrahimu aliitii sauti yangu na kutunza maelekezo yangu, amri zangu na sheria zangu.”
Consequence that he listened Abraham to voice my and he kept duty my commandments my statutes my and laws my.
6 Hivyo Isaka akakaa Gerari.
And he dwelt Isaac in Gerar.
7 Watu wa eneo hilo walipomwuliza juu ya mke wake, alisema, “Yeye ni dada yangu.” Aliogopa kusema, “Yeye ni mke wangu,” kwa kuwa alidhani, “Watu wa nchi hii wataniua ili wamchukue Rebeka, kwa kuwa ni mzuri wa uso.”
And they asked [the] men of the place of wife his and he said [is] sister my she for he was afraid to say wife my lest they should kill me [the] men of the place on Rebekah for [was] good of appearance she.
8 Baada ya Isaka kuwa amekaa pale kwa muda mrefu, Ikatukia kwamba Abimeleki mfalme wa Wafilisiti alichungulia katika dirisha. Tazama, akamwona Isaka akimpapasa Rebeka, mke wake.
And it was that they had become long to him there the days and he looked down Abimelech [the] king of [the] Philistines through the window and he saw and there! Isaac [was] playing with Rebekah wife his.
9 Abimeleki akamwita Isaka kwake na kusema, “Tazama, kwa hakika yeye ni mke wako. Kwa nini ulisema, 'Yeye ni dada yangu?” Isaka akamwambia, “Kwa sababu nilidhani mtu mmoja aweza kuniua ili amchukue.”
And he summoned Abimelech Isaac and he said surely here! [is] wife your she and how? did you say [is] sister my she and he said to him Isaac for I thought lest I should die on her.
10 Abimeleki akamwambia, “Ni jambo gani hili ulilotufanyia? Mmojawapo wa watu angeweza bila shaka kulala na mke wako, nawe ungeweza kuleta hatia juu yetu.”
And he said Abimelech what? this have you done to us like a little he lay with one of the people wife your and you will bring on us guilt.
11 Hivyo Abimeleki akawaonya watu wote na kusema, “Mtu yeyote atakayemgusa mtu huyu au mke wake atauwawa.”
And he commanded Abimelech all the people saying who [-ever] touches the man this and wife his certainly he will be put to death.
12 Isaka akapanda mazao katika nchi hiyo na kuvuna mwaka huo vipimo mia, kwa kuwa Yahwe alimbariki.
And he sowed Isaac in the land that and he found in the year that one hundred measures and he blessed him Yahweh.
13 Mtu huyo akawa tajiri, naye akaongezeka zaidi hata akawa mkuu sana.
And he became great the man and he went continuously and becoming great until for he became great exceedingly.
14 Alikuwa na kondoo na ngombe na familia kubwa. Wafilisiti wakamwonea wivu.
And it be[longed] to him livestock of flock and livestock of herd and service much and they envied him [the] Philistines.
15 Basi visima vyote watumishi wa baba yake walikuwawamevichimba katika siku za Ibrahimu baba yake, Wafilisiti wakavikatalia kwa kwa kuvijaza kifusi.
And all the wells which they had dug [the] servants of father his in [the] days of Abraham father his they stopped up them [the] Philistines and they filled them earth.
16 Abimeleki akamwambia Isaka, “Ondoka kati yetu, kwa kuwa wewe una nguvu kuliko sisi.”
And he said Abimelech to Isaac go from with us for you have become [too] powerful for us much.
17 Hivyo Isaka akaondoka pale na kukaa katika bonde la Gerari, na kuishi pale.
And he went from there Isaac and he encamped in [the] wadi of Gerar and he dwelt there.
18 Kwa mara nyingine tena Isaka akachimba visima vya maji, vilivyokuwa vimechimbwa siku za Ibrahimu baba yake. Wafilisiti walikuwa wamevizuia baada ya kufa kwake Ibrahimu. Isaka akaviita visima kwa majina aliyokuwa ameviita baba yake.
And he returned Isaac and he dug - [the] wells of water which people had dug in [the] days of Abraham father his and they had stopped up them [the] Philistines after [the] death of Abraham and he called them names like the names which he had called them father his.
19 Watumishi wa Isaka walipochimba katika bonde, wakaona kisima cha maji yaliyokuwakuwa yakibubujika.
And they dug [the] servants of Isaac in the wadi and they found there a well of water living.
20 Wachungaji wa Gerari wakagombana na wachungaji wa Isaka, na kusema, “Haya ni maji yetu.”Hivyo Isaka akakiita kisima hicho “Eseki,” kwa sababu waligombana naye.
And they disputed [the] herdsmen of Gerar with [the] herdsmen of Isaac saying [belongs] to us the water and he called [the] name of the well Esek for they quarreled with him.
21 Wakachimba kisima kingine, wakakigombania hicho nacho, hivyo akakiita “Sitina.”
And they dug a well another and they disputed also on it and he called name its Sitnah.
22 Akatoka hapo na akachimba kisima kingine, lakini hicho hawakukigombania. Hivyo akakiita Rehobothi, na akasema, “Sasa Yahwe ametufanyia nafasi, na tutafanikiwa katika nchi.”
And he moved on from there and he dug a well another and not they disputed on it and he called name its Rehoboth and he said that now he has made space Yahweh for us and we will be fruitful in the land.
23 Kisha Isaka akaenda Beersheba.
And he went up from there Beer Sheba.
24 Yahwe akamtokea usiku huohuo na akasema, “Mimi ni Mungu wa Ibrahimu baba yako. Usiogope, kwa maana mimi nipo pamoja nawe na nitakubariki na kuvidisha vizazi vyako, kwa ajili ya mtumishi wangu Ibrahimu.”
And he appeared to him Yahweh in the night that and he said I [am] [the] God of Abraham father your may not you be afraid for [am] with you I and I will bless you and I will multiply offspring your for sake of Abraham servant my.
25 Isaka akajenga madhabahu pale na akaliita jina la Yahwe. Akapiga hema yake pale, na watumishi wake wakachimba kisima.
And he built there an altar and he called on [the] name of Yahweh and he pitched there tent his and they dug there [the] servants of Isaac a well.
26 Kisha Abimeleki akamwendea kutoka Gerari, pamoja na Ahuzathi, rafiki yake, na Fikoli, jemedari wa jeshi.
And Abimelech he came to him from Gerar and Ahuzzah close friend his and Phicol [the] commander of army his.
27 Isaka akawambia, “Kwa nini mmekuja kwangu, kwani mlinichukia na kunifukuza kwenu.
And he said to them Isaac why? have you come to me and you you hate me and you sent away me from with you.
28 Nao wakasema, “Tumeona yakini kwamba Yahwe amekuwa nawe. Hivyo tukaamua kwamba kuwe na kiapo kati yetu, ndiyo, kati yetu nawe. Hivyo na tufanye agano nawe,
And they said certainly we have seen that he has been Yahweh - with you and we said let it be please an oath between us between us and between you and let us make a covenant with you.
29 kwamba hautatudhuru, kama ambavyo sisi hatukukudhuru, na kama sisi tulivyokutendea vema wewe na tumekuacha uondoke kwa amani. Kwa kweli, Yahwe amekubariki.”
If you will do with us harm just as not we have touched you and just as we have done with you only good and we sent away you in peace you now [are] blessed of Yahweh.
30 Hivyo Isaka akawaandalia sherehe, na wakala na kunywa.
And he prepared for them a feast and they ate and they drank.
31 Wakaamuka mapema asubuhi na wakaapiana kiapo. Kisha Isaka akawaruhusu kuondoka, nao wakamwacha katika amani.
And they rose early in the morning and they swore an oath each to brother his and he sent off them Isaac and they went from with him in peace.
32 Siku hiyohiyo watumishi wake wakaja na kumwambia juu ya kisima walichokuwa wamekichimba. Wakasema, “Tumeona maji.”
And it was - on the day that and they came [the] servants of Isaac and they told to him on [the] causes of the well which they had dug and they said to him we have found water.
33 Akakiita kile kisima Shiba, hivyo jina la mji ule ni Beersheba hata leo.
And he called it Shibah there-fore [the] name of the city [is] Beer Sheba until the day this.
34 Esau alipokuwa na umri wa miaka arobaini, akajitwalia mke, Yudithi binti Beeri Mhiti, na Basemathi binti Eloni Mhiti.
And he was Esau a son of forty year[s] and he took a wife Judith [the] daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath [the] daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 Wakamhuzunisha Isaka na Rebeka.
And they were bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
