Senesi 26

1 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.

And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.

2 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.

And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell you of.

3 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.

And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam.

4 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;

And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed.

5 Koeʻuhi naʻe talangofua ʻa ʻEpalahame ki hoku leʻo, mo ne maʻu ʻeku tala, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, mo ʻeku tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fono.”

Because Abraam your father listened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.

6 Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻAisake ʻi Kela.

And Isaac lived in Gerara.

7 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.

And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should kill him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.

8 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.

And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.

9 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.”

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then your wife? why have you said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.

10 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.”

And Abimelech said to him, Why have you done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with your wife, and you would have brought [a sin of] ignorance upon us.

11 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.”

And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.

12 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.

And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.

13 Pea naʻe tupu pe ʻae tangata, pea fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa ia, pea ne tupu ʻo lahi ʻaupito.

And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.

14 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.

And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.

15 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.

And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.

16 Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻAisake, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻiate kimautolu; he ʻoku ke mālohi hake koe ʻiate kimautolu.”

And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for you are become much mightier than we.

17 Pea ʻalu mei ai ʻa ʻAisake, pea fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Kela, pea nofo ai ia.

And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and lived there.

18 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.

And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.

19 Pea naʻe keli ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he teleʻa ʻo nau ʻilo ai ʻae matavai moʻui.

And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.

20 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.

And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him.

21 Pea naʻa nau keli ʻae vai ʻe taha, pea nau fakakikihi ki ai foki; pea ne ui hono hingoa ʻo ia ko Sitina.

And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.

22 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.”

And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.

23 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai ki Peasipa.

And he went up thence to the well of the oath.

24 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.”

And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam your father; fear not, for I am with you, and I will bless you, and multiply your seed for the sake of Abraam your father.

25 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.

And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.

26 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.

And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.

27 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.”

And Isaac said to them, Therefore have you come to me? whereas you hated me, and sent me away from you.

28 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;’

And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with you, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and we will make a covenant with you,

29 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.”

that you shall do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred you, and according as we have treated you well, and have sent you forth peaceably; and now you are blessed of the Lord.

30 Pea naʻe teu ʻe ia hanau kātoanga, pea naʻa nau kai mo inu.

And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31 Pea nau tuʻu hengihengi hake mo nau fefuakavaʻaki: pea naʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻAisake, pea naʻa nau ʻalu ʻiate ia ʻi he fiemālie.

And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.

32 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.”

And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.

33 Pea ne ui ia ko Sipa; ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae kolo ko ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ko Peasipa.

And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.

34 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.

And Esau was forty years old; and he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.

35 Ko e meʻa ko ia, naʻe mamahi ai ʻae loto ʻo ʻAisake mo Lepeka.

And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
