< Kinohi 26 >

1 HE wi no ma ia aina, he okoa ka wi mua i hiki mai ai i ka wa ia Aberahama. A hele aku la o Isaaka io Abimeleka la, i ke alii o ko Pilisetia ma Gerara.
There was a famine in the land, in addition to the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
2 Ikea aku la o Iehova e ia, i mai La, Mai hele oe ilalo i Aigupita, E noho iho ma ka aina a'u e hai aku ai ia oe:
The LORD appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
3 E noho oe ma keia aina, a me oe pu no wau, a e hoopomaikai aku no wau ia oe: no ka mea, e haawi aku auanei au nou, a no kau poe mamo i keia mau aina a pau; a e hooko auanei au i ka hoohiki ana a'u i hoohiki ai i kou makuakane ia Aberahama.
Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
4 A e hoonui aku au i kau poe mamo e like me na hoku o ka lani, a e haawi aku. no wau i keia mau aina a pau no kau poe mamo; a i kau mamo e hoopomaikaiia'i na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua:
I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
5 No ka mea, i hoolohe mai no o Aberahama i ko'u leo, a i malama hoi i ka'u mau kauoha, i ka'u mau olelo, a me ko'u mau kanawai.
because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
6 A noho iho la o Isaaka ma Gerara.
Isaac lived in Gerar.
7 Ninau mai la na kanaka o ia wahi ia ia no kana wahine; i aku la ia, O ko'u kaikuwahine no ia: no ka mea, makau iho la ia i ka i aku, Oia ka'u wahine; o pepehi mai na kanaka o ia wahi ia'u no Rebeka; no ka mea, he maikai ia ke nanaia'ku.
The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “My wife”, lest, he thought, “the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at.”
8 Ia ia i noho ai ma ia wahi a liuliu, nana mai la o Abimeleka o ke alii o ko Pilisetia, ma ka puka makani, ike mai la ia, aia hoi, o Isaaka e lealea ana me kana wahine, me Rebeka.
When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
9 Hea mai la o Abimeleka ia Isaaka, i mai la, Aia hoi, he oiaio no, o kau wahine no ia; a pehea hoi oe i olelo mai ai, O ko'u kaikuwahine ia? I aku la o Isaaka ia ia, No ka mea, i iho la au, E make paha uanei au nona.
Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die because of her.’”
10 I mai la o Abimeleka, Heaha keia au i hana mai ai ia makou? Ina i moe wale paha kekahi o na kanaka me kau wahine, ina ua hooili mai oe i ka hala maluna o makou.
Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!”
11 Kauoha aku o Abimeleka i na kanaka a pau, i ka i ana, O ka mea hoopa aku i keia kanaka, a i kana wahine paha, he oiaio e make ia.
Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
12 Lulu hua iho la o Isaaka ma ia aina, a loaa pahaneri mai la ia ia ia makahiki: a hoopomaikai mai la o Iehova ia ia.
Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. The LORD blessed him.
13 Lilo ae la ua kanaka la i mea nui, mahuahua ae la ia, ulu ae la, a lilo i kanaka nui loa:
The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
14 No ka mea, nana na hipa, a me na bipi, a me na kanaka he nui loa: a huahuwa mai la ko Pilisetia ia ia.
He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
15 A o na punawai a pau i eliia e na kauwa a kona makuakane, i ka wa ia Aberahama, huna ae la ko Pilisetia ia mau mea i ka hoopiha i ka lepo.
Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
16 Olelo mai la o Abimeleka ia Isaaka, E hele aku oe mai o makou aku, no ka mea, ua nui loa aku kau, i ka makou.
Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
17 Hele aku la o Isaaka, a kukulu iho la i kona halelewa ma ke awawa o Gerara, a noho iho la ilaila.
Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
18 Eli hou iho la o Isaaka i na luawai a lakou i eli iho ai i ka wa ia Aberahama o kona makuakane; no ka mea, ua huna iho ko Pilisetia ia mau mea mahope o ka make ana o Aberahama: a kapa iho la ia i ko lakou mau inoa, ma na inoa a kona makuakane i kapa iho ai.
Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 Eli iho la na kanwa a Isaaka ma ke awawa, a loaa iho la ka punawai ilaila, he wai mau.
Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
20 Hakaka mai la na kahu bipi no Gerara me na kahu bipi o Isaaka, i ka i ana mai, No makou ia wai: a kapa iho la ia i ka inoa o ua luawai la, o Eseka, no ko lakou hakaka ana mai me ia.
The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 Eli iho la hoi lakou i ka luawai hou, a hakaka mai no hoi lakou no ia mea: a kapa iho la oia i kona inoa, o Sitena.
They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. So he called its name Sitnah.
22 Neenee aku la ia mai ia wahi aku, a eli iho la i ka luawai hou; aole no lakou i hakaka mai no ia mea: a kapa iho la oia i kona inoa, o i Rehobota: i iho la ia, ano hoi, ua haawi mai o Iehova i kahi akea no kakou; a e hoohua auanei kakou ma ka aina.
He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. So he called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23 A mahope aku, pii aku la ia malaila aku a Beereseba.
He went up from there to Beersheba.
24 Ikea ae la o Iehova e ia ia po iho, i mai la, Owau no ke Akua o Aberahama o kou makuakane: mai makau oe, owau no me oe, a e hoopomaikai no au ia oe a e hoonui hoi i kau poe mamo no ka'u kauwa, no Aberahama.
The LORD appeared to him the same night, and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.”
25 Hana iho la ia i kuahu malaila, a kahea aku la ia i ka inoa o Iehova, a kukulu iho la i kona halelewa ilaila: ilaila hoi na kauwa a Isaaka i eli iho ai i ka luawai.
He built an altar there, and called on the LORD’s name, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac’s servants dug a well.
26 Alaila, hele mai la io na la o Abimeleka mai Gerara mai, oia me Ahuzata kekahi hoalauna ona, a me Pikola ka luna koa o kona poe kaua.
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.
27 I aku la o Isaaka ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou i hele mai ai io'u nei, no ka mea, ke inaina mai nei oukou ia'u, a ua hookuke mai nei oukou ia'u mai o oukou aku.
Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?”
28 Olelo mai la lakou, Ua ike io makou, aia no o Iehova me oe: olelo ae la makou, I hoohiki ana mawaena o kakou, o makou nei, a on la, a e hoopaa makou i berita me oe;
They said, “We saw plainly that the LORD was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let’s make a covenant with you,
29 I hana ino ole mai oe ia makou, me makou i hoopa ole aku ai ia oe, o ka maikai wale no ka makou i hana aku ai ia oe, a ua hoihoi aku ia oe me ka maluhia: o oe io no ka mea i hoopomaikaiia e Iehova.
that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.’ You are now the blessed of the LORD.”
30 Hana iho la ia i ahaaina na lakou, ai iho la lakou a inu hoi.
He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31 Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, a hoohiki iho la laua, i kekahi i kekahi: hookuu aku la o Isaaka ia lakou, a hoi hou aku la lakou mai ona aku la me ke kuikahi.
They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to one another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32 Ia la hookahi no, hele mai la na kauwa a Isaaka, a hai mai la ia ia no ka luawai a lakou i eli iho ai, i mai la ia ia, Ua loaa ia makou ka wai.
The same day, Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.”
33 Kapa iho la oia ia wahi, o Seba: nolaila, o Beereseba ka inoa o ia kulanakauhale a hiki i keia la.
He called it “Shibah”. Therefore the name of the city is “Beersheba” to this day.
34 Hookahi kanaha na makahiki o Esau ia ia i lawe ai ia Iehudita ke kaikamahine a Beeri no ka Heta, a me Basemata ke kaikamahine a Elona no ka Heta, i mau wahine nana:
When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 He mau mea ehaeha laua no ka naau o Isaaka a me Rebeka.
They grieved Isaac’s and Rebekah’s spirits.
