< Genesis 26 >
1 Ìyàn kan sì mú ní ilẹ̀ náà, yàtọ̀ fún èyí tí ó mú ní ìgbà ayé Abrahamu, Isaaki sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Abimeleki ọba àwọn Filistini ni Gerari.
Then, when a famine arose over the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, in Gerar.
2 Olúwa sì fi ara han Isaaki, ó sì wí pé, “Má ṣe sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti, jókòó ní ilẹ̀ tí èmi ó fún ọ.
And the Lord appeared to him, and he said: “Do not descend into Egypt, but rest in the land that I will tell you,
3 Máa ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ yìí fún ìgbà díẹ̀, èmi ó sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi yóò sì bùkún fún ọ. Nítorí ìwọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ ni èmi yóò fi gbogbo àwọn ilẹ̀ wọ̀nyí fún, èmi yóò sì fi ìdí ìbúra tí mo ṣe fún Abrahamu baba rẹ múlẹ̀.
and sojourn in it, and I will be with you, and I will bless you. For to you and to your offspring I will give all these regions, completing the oath that I promised to Abraham your father.
4 Èmi yóò sọ ìran rẹ di púpọ̀ bí ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run, èmi yóò sì fi gbogbo ilẹ̀ yìí fún irú àwọn ọmọ rẹ, àti nípasẹ̀ irú-ọmọ rẹ ni a ó bùkún fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé,
And I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And I will give to your posterity all these regions. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
5 nítorí tí Abrahamu gba ohùn mi gbọ́, ó sì pa gbogbo ìkìlọ̀, àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin mi mọ́.”
because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”
6 Nítorí náà Isaaki jókòó ní Gerari.
And so Isaac remained in Gerar.
7 Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà bi í léèrè ní ti aya rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Arábìnrin mi ní í ṣe,” nítorí tí ó bẹ̀rù láti jẹ́wọ́ wí pé, “Aya mi ni.” Ó ń rò wí pé, “Kí àwọn ọkùnrin ibẹ̀ náà má ba à pa mí nítorí Rebeka, nítorí tí òun ní ẹwà púpọ̀.”
And when he was questioned by the men of that place about his wife, he answered, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to confess her to be his mate, thinking that perhaps they would put him to death because of her beauty.
8 Nígbà tí Isaaki sì ti wà níbẹ̀ fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọjọ́, Abimeleki ọba Filistini yọjú lójú fèrèsé, ó sì rí Isaaki ń bá Rebeka aya rẹ̀ tage.
And when very many days had passed, and he had remained in the same place, Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, gazing through a window, saw him being playful with Rebekah, his wife.
9 Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki ránṣẹ́ pe Isaaki ó sì wí fun pé, “Nítòótọ́, aya rẹ ni obìnrin yìí í ṣe, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi wí fún wa pé arábìnrin mi ni?” Isaaki sì fèsì pé, “Nítorí mo rò pé mo le pàdánù ẹ̀mí mi nítorí rẹ̀.”
And summoning him, he said: “It is clear that she is your wife. Why did you falsely claim her to be your sister?” He answered, “I was afraid, lest I might die because of her.”
10 Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki dáhùn pé, “Èwo ni èyí tí ìwọ ṣe sí wa yìí? Bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí bá ti bá a lòpọ̀ ń kọ́? Ìwọ ìbá wá mú ẹ̀bi wá sórí wa.”
And Abimelech said: “Why have you burdened us? Someone from the people could have lain with your wife, and you would have brought a great sin upon us.” And he instructed all the people, saying,
11 Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki pàṣẹ fún gbogbo ènìyàn pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fọwọ́ kan ọkùnrin yìí tàbí aya rẹ̀ yóò jẹ̀bi ikú.”
“Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”
12 Ní ọdún náà, Isaaki gbin ohun ọ̀gbìn sí ilẹ̀ náà, ó sì kórè rẹ̀ ní ìlọ́po ọgọ́rùn-ún ọdún ni ọdún kan náà, nítorí Olúwa bùkún un.
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
13 Ọkùnrin náà sì di ọlọ́rọ̀ púpọ̀, ọrọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń pọ̀ si, títí ó fi di ènìyàn ńlá.
And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
14 Ó ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹran ọ̀sìn àti agbo ẹran àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn Filistini ń ṣe ìlara rẹ̀.
Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
15 Nítorí náà àwọn ará Filistini ru erùpẹ̀ di gbogbo kànga tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Abrahamu baba rẹ̀ ti gbẹ́.
so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
16 Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki wí fún Isaaki pé, “Jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ wa, nítorí tí ìwọ ti di alágbára púpọ̀ jù wá lọ.”
It reached a point where Abimelech himself said to Isaac, “Move away from us, for you have become very much more powerful than we.”
17 Isaaki sì ṣí kúrò níbẹ̀, ó sì pàgọ́ sí àfonífojì Gerari ó sì ń gbé ibẹ̀.
And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
18 Isaaki sì ṣe àtúngbẹ́ àwọn kànga tí Abrahamu baba rẹ̀ ti gbẹ́ nígbà ayé rẹ̀, èyí tí àwọn Filistini ti dí lẹ́yìn ikú Abrahamu baba rẹ̀, ó sì fún wọn lórúkọ tí baba rẹ̀ ti sọ wọ́n tẹ́lẹ̀.
Again, he dug up other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had dug, and which, after his death, the Philistines had formerly obstructed. And he called them by the same names that his father had called them before.
19 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Isaaki sì gbẹ́ kànga ní àfonífojì náà, wọ́n kan ìsun omi níbẹ̀.
And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn darandaran Gerari ń bá àwọn darandaran Isaaki jà sí kànga náà pé àwọn ni àwọn ni í. Nítorí náà ni ó fi pe orúkọ kànga náà ní Eseki, nítorí pé wọ́n bá a jà sí kànga náà.
But in that place also the shepherds of Gerar argued against the shepherds of Isaac, by saying, “It is our water.” For this reason, he called the name of the well, because of what had happened, ‘Calumny.’
21 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Isaaki tún gbẹ́ kànga mìíràn, wọ́n sì tún jà nítorí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Sitna.
Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’
22 Ó sì tún kúrò níbẹ̀, ó sì gbẹ́ kànga mìíràn, wọn kò sì jásí èyí rárá, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Rehoboti, ó wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí, Olúwa ti fi ààyè gbà wá, a ó sì gbilẹ̀ si ní ilẹ̀ náà.”
Advancing from there, he dug another well, over which they did not contend. And so he called its name, ‘Latitude,’ saying, “Now the Lord has expanded us and caused us to increase across the land.”
23 Láti ibẹ̀, ó kúrò lọ sí Beerṣeba.
Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
24 Ní òru ọjọ́ tí ó dé ibẹ̀, Olúwa sì fi ara hàn án, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ni Ọlọ́run Abrahamu baba rẹ. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù nítorí èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi yóò sì bùsi fún ọ, èmi yóò sì sọ iye ìran rẹ di púpọ̀, nítorí Abrahamu ìránṣẹ́ mi.”
where the Lord appeared to him on the same night, saying: “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring because of my servant Abraham.”
25 Isaaki sì kọ́ pẹpẹ kan síbẹ̀, ó sì pe orúkọ Olúwa. Níbẹ̀ ni ó pàgọ́ rẹ̀ sí, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ sì gbẹ́ kànga kan níbẹ̀.
And so he built an altar there. And he invoked the name of the Lord, and he stretched out his tent. And he instructed his servants to dig a well.
26 Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti Gerari, àti Ahussati, olùdámọ̀ràn rẹ̀ àti Fikoli, olórí ogun rẹ̀.
When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,
27 Isaaki sì bi wọ́n léèrè pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin tọ̀ mí wá, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ẹ̀yin kórìíra mi tí ẹ sì lé mi jáde kúrò lọ́dọ̀ yín?”
Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among you?”
28 Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “A rí i dájú pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, nítorí náà ni a fi rò ó wí pé, ó yẹ kí májẹ̀mú kí o wà láàrín àwa àti ìwọ. Jẹ́ kí a ṣe àdéhùn
And they responded: “We saw that the Lord is with you, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us initiate a pact,
29 pé ìwọ kì yóò ṣe wá ní ibi, bí àwa pẹ̀lú kò ti ṣe ọ́ ní aburú, tí a sì ń ṣe ọ́ dáradára, tí a sì rán ọ jáde ní àlàáfíà láìṣe ọ́ ní ibi, kíyèsi Olúwa sì ti bùkún fún ọ.”
so that you may not do us any kind of harm, just as we have touched nothing of yours, and have not caused any injury to you, but with peace we released you, augmented by the blessing of the Lord.”
30 Isaaki sì ṣe àsè fún wọn, wọn sì jẹ, wọ́n sì mu.
Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the food and drink,
31 Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì wọn búra fún ara wọn. Isaaki sì rán wọn lọ, wọ́n sì lọ ní àlàáfíà.
arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.
32 Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Isaaki wá sọ fún un pé àwọn ti kan omi ní kànga kan tí àwọn gbẹ́.
Then, behold, on the same day the servants of Isaac came, reporting to him about a well which they had dug, and saying: “We have found water.”
33 Ó sì pe orúkọ kànga náà ní Ṣiba, títí di òní olónìí, orúkọ ìlú náà ni Beerṣeba.
Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present day.
34 Nígbà tí Esau pé ọmọ ogójì ọdún ó fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin kan tí a ń pè ní Juditi, ọmọ Beeri, ará Hiti, ó sì tún fẹ́ Basemati, ọmọ Eloni ará Hiti.
In truth, at forty years of age, Esau took wives: Judith, the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon, of the same place.
35 Fífẹ́ tí a fẹ́ àwọn obìnrin wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ìbànújẹ́ fún Isaaki àti Rebeka.
And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.
