1 Mose 26
1 Na ɔkɔm kɛse bi baa asase no so; ɛsono ɔkɔm kɛse a ɛbaa Abraham bere so no. Ɛno nti, Isak tu kɔtenaa Gerar a ɛyɛ Filistifo hene Abimelek kurow mu.
Kwasekusiba lendlala elizweni, ngaphandle kwendlala yakuqala eyayikhona ngesikhathi sika-Abhrahama, u-Isaka waya ku-Abhimelekhi inkosi yamaFilistiya eGerari.
2 Ɛhɔ na Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Isak, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nkɔ Misraim, na mmom, tena asase a mɛkyerɛ wo no so.
UThixo wabonakala ku-Isaka wathi, “Ungehleli eGibhithe; hlala elizweni engithi hlala khona.
3 Tena asase yi so kakra, efisɛ mede saa asase no nyinaa bɛma wo ne wʼasefo, na mede asi bɔ a mehyɛɛ wʼagya Abraham no so dua.
Ake uhlale kulelilizwe okwesikhatshana, mina ngizakuba lawe ngikubusise. Ngoba wena lezizukulwane zakho ngizalinika wonke amazwe la njalo ngiqinise isifungo engasifunga kuyihlo u-Abhrahama.
4 Mɛma wʼasefo adɔɔso te sɛ nsoromma a ɛwɔ soro, na mede saa nsase yi nyinaa ama wɔn. Ɛnam wʼasefo so na wobehyira wiase aman ahorow nyinaa.
Ngizakwenza izizukulwane zakho zibe zinengi njengezinkanyezi emkhathini, ngizinike wonke lamazwe, njalo kuthi ngenzalo yakho zonke izizwe emhlabeni zizabusiswa,
5 Efisɛ Abraham tiee me nne, dii me nsɛm, mʼahyɛde ne me mmara nyinaa so.”
ngoba u-Abhrahama wangilalela, wagcina izimiso zami, lemilayo yami, kanye lemithetho yami.”
6 Enti Isak tenaa Gerar.
Ngakho u-Isaka wahlala eGerari.
7 Bere a Gerar mmarima bisaa Isak yere Rebeka ho asɛm no, ɔkae se, “Ɔyɛ me nuabea.” Efisɛ na osuro sɛ ɔbɛka se, “Ɔyɛ me yere.” Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, efisɛ na osusuw sɛ, esiane ne yere Rebeka ahoɔfɛ nti, anhwɛ a na kurom hɔ mmarima akum no.
Kwathi lapho abantu baleyondawo bembuza ngomkakhe wathi, “Ngudadewethu,” ngoba wayesesaba ukuthi, “Ngumkami.” Wacabanga wathi, “Amadoda alapha angangibulala ngenxa kaRabheka, ngoba muhle kakhulu.”
8 Isak tenaa hɔ kyɛɛ kakra no, da bi, Filistifo hene Abimelek gyina ne mfɛnsere mu na ohuu sɛ Isak regoru ne yere Rebeka ho.
Kwathi u-Isaka esehlale khona okwesikhathi eside, u-Abhimelekhi inkosi yamaFilistiya wakhangela ngefasitela wabona u-Isaka egone umkakhe uRabheka.
9 Ɛno nti, Abimelek soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Isak. Isak bae no, obisaa no se, “Ɔbea no yɛ wo yere ankasa. Adɛn nti na woka se, ‘Ɔyɛ me nuabea?’” Isak buaa no se, “Misusuwii sɛ, sɛ meka se ɔyɛ me yere a, ne nti, ebia na wɔakum me.”
Ngakho wasebiza u-Isaka wathi, “Kanti ngumkakho ngeqiniso! Kungani uthe ungudadewenu?” U-Isaka wamphendula wathi, “Ngoba ngakhumbula ukuthi ngingalahlekelwa yimpilo yami ngenxa yakhe.”
10 Na ɔhene Abimelek kae se, “Dɛn asɛm na wo ne yɛn adi yi? Nokware a woamma anna adi nti, anka obi betumi afa wo yere no, na wode mmusu aba yɛn so.”
U-Abhimelekhi wasesithi, “Kuyini lokhu okwenzileyo kithi? Omunye wamadoda ubezaqabuka elala laye umkakho, ubususibangela icala.”
11 Ɛno nti, Abimelek bɔɔ ne manfo no kɔkɔ se, “Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka saa ɔbarima yi, anaa ne yere no, ɔkwan biara so no wobekum no.”
Ngakho u-Abhimelekhi wasekhupha umlayo ebantwini bonke wathi, “Lowo ozake ayithinte indoda le loba umkayo ngempela uzabulawa.”
12 Saa afe no ara Isak dɔw afuw. Na Awurade hyiraa nʼadwumade so. Ne nnɔbae baa bebree.
U-Isaka walima amabele kulelolizwe, ngalowomnyaka wavuna okuphindwe ngekhulu, ngoba uThixo wambusisa.
13 Isak yɛɛ ɔdefo. Nʼahonya kɔɔ so dɔɔso ma odii taamu.
Umuntu lo wanotha kakhulu, lemfuyo yakhe yanda kakhulukazi.
14 Onyaa nguan, anantwi, ne asomfo bebree ma ɛyɛɛ saa ma Filistifo no ani beree no yiye. Saa anibere yi nti, Filistifo no de dɔte kosisiw
Waba lemihlambi yezimvu lenkomo emikhulu kakhulu, kanye lezisebenzi ezinengi, amaFilistiya aze aba lomona ngaye.
15 abura ahorow a nʼagya Abraham maa ne nkoa tutuu wɔ ne bere so no nyinaa ano.
Kwasekusithi yonke imithombo eyayigejwe yizisebenzi ngesikhathi sikayise u-Abhrahama, amaFilistiya ayivala ngokuyigqibela ngenhlabathi.
16 Ɛbaa saa no, ɔhene Abimelek ka kyerɛɛ Isak se, “Tu fi yɛn asase so, efisɛ wʼahonya dodow no aka yɛn ahyɛ.”
U-Abhimelekhi wasesithi ku-Isaka, “Suka kithi; ususuke waba lamandla kakhulu kulathi.”
17 Isak tu fii Gerar kurow no mu, kɔɔ Gerar subon mu de hɔ kɔyɛɛ nʼatenae.
Ngakho u-Isaka wasuka lapho wayakuma eSigodini saseGerari, wahle wakha khona.
18 Enti Isak maa ne nkoa san tutuu mmura a nʼagya Abraham maa ne nkoa tutuu na ne wu akyi no Filistifo no sisiw ne nyinaa no. Ɔsan de din koro no ara a nʼagya Abraham de totoo mmura no totoo no bio.
U-Isaka wayiphanda imithombo eyayigejwe ngesikhathi sikayise u-Abhrahama, eyayigqitshelwe ngamaFilistiya ngemva kokuba u-Abhrahama esefile, wayibiza ngalawo mabizo uyise ayeyibiza ngawo.
19 Isak nkoa no tuu abura foforo bi wɔ Gerar subon no mu, kɔtoo nsu a ɛyɛ kurunnyenn.
Izisebenzi zika-Isaka zagebha esigodini zafumana umthombo olamanzi amahle khonapho.
20 Nanso Gerar nguanhwɛfo ne Isak nguanhwɛfo gyee abura no ho akyinnye. Gerar nguanhwɛfo no kae se, “Abura yi yɛ yɛn de.” Eyi maa Isak too saa abura no din Esek, a ase kyerɛ akyinnyegye abura.
Kodwa abelusi baseGerari baxabana labelusi baka-Isaka bathi, “Amanzi la ngawethu!” Ngakho umthombo lowo wawuthi yi-Eseki, ngoba bawubanga laye.
21 Isak nkoa no san tuu abura foforo, nanso Gerar nguanhwɛfo no san ne wɔn kasakasaa ɛno nso so. Eyi maa Isak san too saa abura no nso din Sitna, a ase kyerɛ Aperedi.
Ngakho basebesimba omunye umthombo, kodwa lawo bawubanga njalo; wasewubiza ngokuthi yiSithina.
22 Isak gyaw saa abura no hɔ kotuu abura foforo. Afei, nnipa a wɔne no te hɔ no gyaee no haw a obiara ne no ankasa so bio. Eyi maa Isak too saa abura yi din Rehobot a ase ne “Afei de Awurade abɔ yɛn atenase na yebenya yɛn ho wɔ asase yi so.”
Wasuka lapho wayagebha omunye umthombo, akwabe kusaba khona owubangayo. Wawuthi yiRehobhothi, esithi, “Manje uThixo usesiphile indawo, sesizaphumelela kuleli ilizwe.”
23 Isak tu fii hɔ kɔɔ Beer-Seba.
Esuka lapho waya eBherishebha.
24 Anadwo no, Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mene wʼagya, Abraham Nyankopɔn. Nsuro, efisɛ me ne wo na ɛwɔ hɔ. Bɔ a mahyɛ mʼakoa Abraham nti, mehyira wo na mama wʼasefo adɔɔso, na wɔayɛ ɔman kɛse.”
Ngalobobusuku uThixo wabonakala kuye wathi, “NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo u-Abhrahama. Ungesabi, ngoba ngilawe; ngizakubusisa ngandise ubunengi bezizukulwane zakho ngenxa yenceku yami u-Abhrahama.”
25 Isak sii afɔremuka, som Awurade wɔ hɔ. Osii ntamadan tenaa hɔ, na ne nkoa nso tuu abura maa no.
U-Isaka wakha i-Alithari khonapho wamemeza ibizo likaThixo. Wamisa ithente lakhe khonapho, izisebenzi zakhe zemba umthombo khonapho.
26 Da bi, ɔhene Abimelek ne ne fotufo Ahusad ne ne sahene Pikol fi Gerar bɛsraa Isak.
Ngalesosikhathi u-Abhimelekhi weza kuye evela eGerari, elo-Ahuzathi umeluleki wakhe loFikholi umlawuli wamabutho akhe.
27 Isak bisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na mo a na mo ne me nka, na mopam me fii mo nkyɛn aba me ha nnɛ sɛ morebɛsra me?”
U-Isaka wababuza wathi, “Lilandeni kimi, njengoba lalingizonda laze langixotsha?”
28 Wobuaa no se, “Yehu pefee sɛ Awurade wɔ wʼafa nti, yɛasi gyinae sɛ, yɛne wo bɛyɛ apam. Apam no bɛda wo ne yɛn ntam. Pene so, na yɛne wo nyɛ saa apam no
Bamphendula bathi, “Sabona kamhlophe ukuthi uThixo wayelawe; yikho sasesicabanga ukuthi kumele kube lesivumelwano esibotshiweyo phakathi kwethu lawe. Kasenze isibopho lawe
29 sɛ worenhaw yɛn, sɛnea yɛn nso, yɛanhaw wo no. Yɛne wo tenaa yiye. Yegyaa wo kwan asomdwoe mu. Na afei, hwɛ sɛnea Awurade ahyira wo.”
esokuthi kawusoze usihlukuluze, njengoba lathi singazange sikulimaze ngalutho kodwa sakuvalelisa ngokuthula. Khathesi usubusisiwe nguThixo.”
30 Isak too wɔn pon, na wodidi nomee de twɛn apam a wɔne no rebɛyɛ no.
U-Isaka wasebenzela idili, badla banatha.
31 Ade kyee anɔpa no, Isak ne mmarima no kekaa wɔn ho wɔn ho ntam, de sii wɔn apam a wɔayɛ no so dua. Na Isak gyaa wɔn kwan ma wɔkɔɔ asomdwoe mu.
Ekuseni kakhulu ngelanga elilandelayo amadoda wonke enza isifungo omunye komunye. U-Isaka wasebavulela indlela bahamba ngokuthula.
32 Da no ara, Isak asomfo bɛkaa abura a na wɔretu no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛato nsu.”
Ngalolosuku izisebenzi zika-Isaka zabuya zamtshela ngomthombo ezaziwugebhile. Zathi, “Sesiwatholile amanzi!”
33 Isak too abura no din Seba a, ase kyerɛ sɛ “Ntanka abura.” Kurow a akyiri no wɔkyekyeree wɔ hɔ no, wɔtoo hɔ din Beer-Seba a ebesi nnɛ, wɔda so frɛ hɔ saa ara.
Wawuthi yiShibha, osekuze kube namuhla idolobho kuthiwa yiBherishebha.
34 Esau dii mfe aduanan no, ɔwaree ababaa bi a na wɔfrɛ no Yudit. Na nʼagya yɛ Hetini bi a ne din de Beeri. Esau san waree Basmat a nʼagya yɛ Hetini bi a ne din de Elon.
Kwathi u-Esawu eseleminyaka yobudala engamatshumi amane, wathatha uJudithi indodakazi kaBheri umHithi njalo loBhasemathi indodakazi ka-Eloni umHithi.
35 Nanso Isak ne Rebeka bo annwo wɔ saa aware no ho.
Baletha ukukhathazeka kakhulu ku-Isaka loRabheka.
