Genesis 26
1 Then came a time of great need in the land, like that which had been before in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.
Pea naʻe tō ʻae honge ki he fonua: ka ʻoku taha kehe ʻae ʻuluaki honge ʻaia naʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻEpalahame. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻAisake ki Kela kia ʻApimeleki ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
2 And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge:
Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke ʻalu hifo ki ʻIsipite: nofo ʻi he fonua ʻaia te u fakahā kiate koe.
3 Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham;
Ke ke nofomaʻu ʻi he fonua ni, pea teu ʻiate koe, pea te u tāpuakiʻi koe; he te u foaki kiate koe mo ho hako ʻae ngaahi fonua ni kotoa pē, pea te u fakamoʻoni ʻae fuakava ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ʻaki ki hoʻo tamai ko ʻEpalahame.
4 I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth;
Pea te u fakatupu ho hako ke tokolahi, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi; pea te u foaki ki ho hako ʻae ngaahi fonua ni kotoa pē; pea ʻe monūʻia ʻi ho hako ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani;
5 Because Abraham gave ear to my voice and kept my words, my rules, my orders, and my laws.
Koeʻuhi naʻe talangofua ʻa ʻEpalahame ki hoku leʻo, mo ne maʻu ʻeku tala, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, mo ʻeku tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fono.”
6 So Isaac went on living in Gerar;
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻAisake ʻi Kela.
7 And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful.
Pea fehuʻi kiate ia ʻae kakai tangata ʻoe potu ko ia, ki hono uaifi: pea pehē ʻe ia, ko hoku tuofefine ia; he naʻe manavahē ia ke pehē atu, ‘Ko hoku uaifi ia;’ he naʻa ne pehē, telia naʻa tāmateʻi au ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe potu ni, koeʻuhi ko Lepeka; he naʻe hoihoifua ia ke mamata ki ai.
8 And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife.
Pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi ai ʻo fuoloa; pea ʻiloange, naʻe fakasio ʻa ʻApimeleki ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai Filisitia, mei he tupa, ʻo ne mamata ʻoku fakavā ʻa ʻAisake mo Lepeka ko hono uaifi.
9 And he said to Isaac, It is clear that she is your wife: why then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said, For fear that I might be put to death because of her.
Pea fekau ʻe ʻApimeleki ke haʻu ʻa ʻAisake, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko e moʻoni ko ho uaifi ia; pea ko e hā naʻa ke pehē ai, ko hoku tuofefine ia?” Pea talaange ʻe ʻAisake kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi naʻaku pehē, telia naʻaku mate koeʻuhi ko ia.”
10 Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni kuo ke fai kiate kimautolu? Ka ne mohe faainoa ha tokotaha mo ho uaifi; pehē kuo ke ʻomi ʻae kovi lahi kiate kimautolu.”
11 And Abimelech gave orders to his people that anyone touching Isaac or his wife was to be put to death.
Pea fai fono ʻe ʻApimeleki ki hono kakai, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ʻe ala ki he tangata ni, pe ko hono uaifi, ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.”
12 Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.
Pea naʻe toki tō taʻu ʻe ʻAisake ʻi he fonua ko ia, pea ne utu ʻi he taʻu ko ia hono tupu ʻe tā tuʻo teau: pea naʻe tāpuaki ia ʻe Sihova.
13 And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more;
Pea naʻe tupu pe ʻae tangata, pea fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa ia, pea ne tupu ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
14 For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.
He naʻa ne maʻu ʻae fanga sipi lahi, mo e fanga manu, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki tokolahi; pea naʻe meheka ʻae kakai Filisitia kiate ia.
15 Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.
He ko e ngaahi vai kehekehe naʻe keli ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻene tamai, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻEpalahame, naʻe mapuni ia ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻi hono tanu ʻaki ʻae kelekele.
16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻAisake, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻiate kimautolu; he ʻoku ke mālohi hake koe ʻiate kimautolu.”
17 So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there.
Pea ʻalu mei ai ʻa ʻAisake, pea fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Kela, pea nofo ai ia.
18 And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.
Pea naʻe toe keli ʻe ʻAisake ʻae ngaahi vai, ʻaia naʻa nau keli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻEpalahame: he naʻe tanu ia ʻe he kakai Filisitia, hili ʻae pekia ʻa ʻEpalahame: pea ne ui ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi hingoa, ʻaia naʻe fakahingoa ʻaki ia ʻe heʻene tamai.
19 Now Isaac's servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water.
Pea naʻe keli ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he teleʻa ʻo nau ʻilo ai ʻae matavai moʻui.
20 But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it.
Pea fakakikihi ʻe he kau tangata tauhimanu ʻa Kela, mo e kau tauhimanu ʻa ʻAisake, ʻo nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻamautolu ʻae vai;” pea ne ui hono hingoa ʻoe vai, ‘ko Eseki;’ ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ke mo ia.
21 Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.
Pea naʻa nau keli ʻae vai ʻe taha, pea nau fakakikihi ki ai foki; pea ne ui hono hingoa ʻo ia ko Sitina.
22 Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.
Pea hiki mei ai ia ʻo keli ʻae vai ʻe taha; pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fakakikihi ki ai; pea ne ui hono hingoa ʻo ia ko Leopote; pea ne pehē, “He ko eni, kuo fakaʻataʻatā ʻe Sihova ha potu kiate kitautolu, pea te tau tupu ʻi he fonua.”
23 And from there he went on to Beer-sheba.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai ki Peasipa.
24 That night the Lord came to him in a vision, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham: have no fear for I am with you, blessing you, and your seed will be increased because of my servant Abraham.
Pea hā mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia ʻi he pō ko ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e ʻOtua au ʻo hoʻo tamai ko ʻEpalahame; ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, he ʻoku ou ʻiate koe, pea te u tāpuaki koe, pea fakatokolahi ho hako, koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame.”
25 Then he made an altar there, and gave worship to the name of the Lord, and he put up his tents there, and there his servants made a water-hole.
Pea fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau ʻo ne hū kia Sihova, pea fokotuʻu ʻe ia hono fale fehikitaki ʻi ai; pea keli ʻi ai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAisake ʻae vai.
26 And Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol, the captain of his army.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻApimeleki kiate ia mei Kela, pea mo hono kāinga ʻe taha ko ʻAhusate, mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki ʻo ʻene kautau.
27 And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing that in your hate for me you sent me away from you?
Pea pehē ʻe ʻAisake kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou haʻu ai kiate au, ka ʻoku mou fehiʻa kiate au, pea kuo mou kapusi au meiate kimoutolu.”
28 And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you;
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Naʻa mau mamata pau kuo ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova; pea naʻa mau pehē, ‘Ke tau fefuakavaʻaki mo koe, ʻio, ʻiate kitautolu mo koe, pea ke tau fai ʻae fuakava mo koe;’
29 That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you.
Ke ʻoua naʻa ke fai kovi kiate kimautolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau taʻeala kiate koe, pea kuo mau fai lelei pe kiate koe, pea mau tuku koe ke ke ʻalu fiemālie: pea ko eni, ko e monūʻia koe ʻia Sihova.”
30 Then he made a feast for them, and they all had food and drink.
Pea naʻe teu ʻe ia hanau kātoanga, pea naʻa nau kai mo inu.
31 And early in the morning they took an oath one to the other: then Isaac sent them away and they went on their way in peace.
Pea nau tuʻu hengihengi hake mo nau fefuakavaʻaki: pea naʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻAisake, pea naʻa nau ʻalu ʻiate ia ʻi he fiemālie.
32 And that day Isaac's servants came to him and gave him word of the water-hole which they had made, and said to him, We have come to water.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae haʻu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAisake, ʻo nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae vai kuo nau keli, ʻo nau pehē kiate ia, “Kuo mau ʻilo ʻae vai.”
33 And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.
Pea ne ui ia ko Sipa; ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae kolo ko ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ko Peasipa.
34 And when Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Pea naʻe fāngofulu ʻae taʻu ʻa ʻIsoa, pea ne maʻu kiate ia ʻa Sutiti ko hono uaifi, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Peli ko e [tangata Heti], mo Pasimati ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻElone ko e [tangata ]Heti.
35 And Isaac and Rebekah had grief of mind because of them.
Ko e meʻa ko ia, naʻe mamahi ai ʻae loto ʻo ʻAisake mo Lepeka.
