Genesis 26
1 Tuh oasr pac sie sracl in facl sac sayen sracl se meet in pacl lal Abraham. Ke ma inge Isaac el mukuiyak som nu in acn Gerar, nu yorol Abimelech, tokosra lun mwet Philistia.
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 LEUM GOD El sikyang nu sel Isaac ac fahk nu sel, “Nimet kom som nu Egypt. Mutana in facl se inge, ke acn se nga ac fahk nu sum in muta we.
The LORD appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
3 Muta inge, ac nga ac fah wi kom ac akinsewowoye kom. Nga ac sot facl se inge nufon nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum. Nga ac akpwayeye wulela se nga tuh orala nu sel Abraham, papa tomom.
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 Nga ac arulana akpusye fwilin tulik nutum ac elos ac fah oana pusiyen itu inkusrao, ac nga ac sang nu selos facl se inge nufon. Mutunfacl nukewa ac fah siyuk sik nga in akinsewowoyalos oana ke nga akinsewowoye fwil nutum.
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 Nga fah akinsewowoye kom, mweyen Abraham el tuh akosyu ac liyaung ma sap nukewa ac ma oakwuk nukewa su nga sapkin.”
because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
6 Ouinge Isaac el mutana Gerar.
Isaac lived in Gerar.
7 Ke mukul in acn we elos tuh siyuk ke mutan kial, el fahk nu selos mu ma loul pa Rebecca. El tiana fahkak lah mutan kial pa el, mweyen el sensen mukul we ac unilya ac eisalla Rebecca, mweyen el arulana oasku.
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 Na ke Isaac el muta we paht kutu, Tokosra Abimelech el ngeti liki winto lal, ac liyalak Isaac ke el sritalel Rebecca.
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 Abimelech el sapla solalma Isaac ac fahk nu sel, “Ma kiom pa mutan sac! Efu ku kom fahk mu ma loum?” Na Isaac el fahk “Nga sensen mu nga ac fin fahk mu ma kiuk pa el, na ac anwuki nga.”
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 Na Abimelech el fahk, “Mea se kom oru nu sesr inge? Sie sin mukul luk inge funu ona yurin mutan kiom an, lukun kom pa pwanma mwatasr.”
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 Na Abimelech el akesmakye mwet nukewa, “Kutena mwet su oru koluk nu sin mwet se inge, ku mutan kial uh, ac fah anwuki.”
Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
12 Isaac el oru ima se lal in facl sac, ac in yac sac el kosrani pacl siofok yohk liki lupan ma el taknelik, mweyen LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal.
Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. The LORD blessed him.
13 El kapkapak na in ma nukewa, oru el sie mwet arulana kasrup.
The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
14 Mweyen oasr un kosro puspis natul ke sheep ac cow ac mwet kulansap puspis lal, mwet Philistia elos sokyak sel.
He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
15 Lufin kof nukewa ma mwet kulansap lal Abraham, papa tumal, tuh pukanak ke el srakna moul, mwet Philistia elos nwakla ke fohk.
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 Na Abimelech el fahk nu sel Isaac, “Fahla liki facl sesr uh. Kom arulana ku liki kut lac.”
Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
17 Ouinge Isaac el som ac oakiya nien aktuktuk lal Infalfal Gerar, ac muta we.
Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
18 El sifilpa pukanak lufin kof ma Abraham, papa tumal, el tuh pukanak in pacl lal, su mwet Philistia elos tuh taunya tukun Abraham el misa. Isaac el sang pacna inen lufin kof inge ke ine ma papa tumal ah tuh sang nu kac.
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 Mwet kulansap lal Isaac ah pikin lufin kof se infalfal sac nwe sun unon in kof se.
Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
20 Mwet liyaung kosro in acn Gerar elos alein nu sin mwet liyaung kosro lal Isaac, ac fahk, “Lufin kof se inge ma lasr.” Ouinge Isaac el sang inen luf sac “Alein.”
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 Mwet kulansap lal Isaac elos sifilpa pukanak sie lufin kof, ac oasr pac alein kac. Ke ma inge el sang inen luf se inge, “Akwasui.”
They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. So he called its name Sitnah.
22 El som liki acn sac ac sifilpa pukanak sie luf uh. Wangin alein nu sel ke luf se inge, ouinge el pangon luf sac, “Sukosok.” Ac el fahk, “Inge LEUM GOD El ase nu sesr sukosok in muta fin acn se inge, ac kut ac fah kapkapak fin acn se inge.”
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 Isaac el tuyak ac som nu Beersheba.
He went up from there to Beersheba.
24 In fong sac LEUM GOD El sikyang nu sel ac fahk, “Nga God lal Abraham, papa tomom. Nik kom sangeng. Nga ac wi kom ac nga fah akinsewowoye kom ac sot fwilin tulik puspis nutum, ke sripen wuleang luk nu sel Abraham, mwet kulansap luk.”
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 Isaac el etoak loang se we ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Na el tulokunak nien aktuktuk lal we, ac mwet kulansap lal elos sifilpla pukanak lufin kof se.
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 Abimelech el tuku Gerar me, usal Ahuzzath mwet kasru fulat lal, ac Phicol leum lun un mwet mweun lal welul, in tuh sonol Isaac.
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.
27 Ke ma inge Isaac el siyuk, “Efu ku komtal tuku liyeyu? Komtal tuh srungayula ac lisyula liki facl sumtal ah.”
Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?”
28 Abimelech el topuk ac fahk, “Inge kut etu lah LEUM GOD El wi kom, ac kut nunku mu ac wona in oasr sie wulela na ku inmasrlosr. Kut lungse kom in wulela
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 lah kom ac tia aklokoalokye kut oapana ke kut tuh tiana aklokoalokye kom ah. Kut tuh kulang na nu sum ac supwekomla in misla. Inge kalem na sesr lah LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kom.”
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 Isaac el akoela kufwa se nu selos, ac elos tukeni mongoi.
He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31 Toangna in lotu tok ah, eltal tukakek ac akkeyala wulela inmasrloltal. Na Isaac el wilkas nu selos, ac elos fahsrelik kawuk na wowo.
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 Ke len sacna mwet kulansap lal Isaac elos tuku ac fahkang nu sel ke lufin kof se ma elos pukanak. Elos fahk, “Kut konauk kof.”
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 El sang inen lufin kof sac “Wuleang Ku.” Pa ingan sripa se oru pangpang siti sac Beersheba.
He called it “Shibah”. Therefore the name of the city is “Beersheba” to this day.
34 Ke Esau el yac angngaul, el payukyak sin mutan Hit luo: Judith acn natul Beeri, ac Basemath acn natul Elon.
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 Mutan luo inge arulana aktoasryal Isaac ac Rebecca.
They grieved Isaac’s and Rebekah’s spirits.
