Semtilbu 26
1 Chuin gamsunga chun nasatah in kel ahung lhatan, hiche kel lhah chu Abraham damlaiya ahah tabang in, Isaac chu Gerar langa Philistine lengpa Abimelech heng a ache tai.
There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham [Father of a multitude]. Isaac [Laughter] went to Abimelech [My father king] king of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)], to Gerar.
2 Chuin Pathen in Isaac chu ahou limpin hitin aseiye, “Keima thusei ngaiyin, Egypt langa nache thei lou ding ahi.
Adonai appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt [Abode of slavery]. Live in the land I will tell you about.
3 Chule nangma hiche gam a hin gampam kholyin mi bang in um'in keiman hatah a phatthei kaboh ding nahi. Chule gam jouse hi nangma le na chilhahte jouse kapeh ding nahi, Ajeh chu keiman napa Abraham komma kaki hahselna kamolso tei ding ahi.
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 [Father of a multitude] your father.
4 Keiman na chilhahte van chunga ahsite jat banga kapun sah ding, hiche gam ho jouse hi kapeh ding, chule nangma chilhahte a konna vannoi mi jouse phatthei kaboh ding ahi.
I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. By your seed, all the nations of the earth be blessed,
5 Hiche ho jouse hi kabol ding ahi. Ajeh chu Abraham'in kathu angaiyin, kathu lhahna ahin, ka thupeh ahin, ka chondan thu ahin, chule ka danthu a nitsoh keiyin ahi.
because Abraham [Father of a multitude] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice, and heeded what I told him to do— he followed my mitzvot ·instructions·, my regulations, and my torot ·teachings·.”
6 Hichun Isaac Gerar gamma acheng tan ahi.
Isaac [Laughter] lived in Gerar.

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 [Securely bound], because she is beautiful to look at.”
8 Hinlah ni phabep jou chun Abimelech Phalistines lengpan bangkot a kon agahven ahile vetan Isaac in Rebekah aji bol'a akinoupi pet amudoh tai.
When he had been there a long time, Abimelech [My father king] king of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac [Laughter] was caressing Rebekah [Securely bound], his wife.
9 Hichun gang tah in Abimelech in Isaac chu akouvin, “Amanu chu na jinu hilou ham? ibola amanu chu ka sopinu ahe tia nasei ham?” Isaac in adonbut in, “Ka seina ajeh chu ahile ka innneipi jeh a koi tabang khat in eitha lo ding ham kati ahi.”
Abimelech [My father king] called Isaac [Laughter], and said, “Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister?’” Isaac [Laughter] said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die because of her.’”
10 Abimelech in aseiye, “Ipi dinga hiti pia chu neibol'u hitam? ilou themkhat in ka mite lah a khat touvin na jinu chu ana kipui hen ana luppi kha ta hen lang hileh nangma jeh a kei hon chonset lentah a neilhah sah ding'u hita chula em.”
Abimelech [My father king] 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 Hichun Abimelech in danpi khat asem in mipi jouse henga aphong doh in ahi, “Koihi jong leh hiche mipa hihen ajinu hijong le ahin tongkha asuse aum leh thina chan a gotna kipe ding ahi.”
Abimelech [My father king] enjoined all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
12 Hiche kum chun Isaac in muchi akitun ahile kum dang sang in ajat jakhat val jena tamjon aki-aat e, hiti chun Pakaiyin ama phatthei ana boh'e.
Isaac [Laughter] sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Adonai blessed him.
13 Chua kon chun Isaac chu neile gou in ahung hao doh tan, anei le agou hatah in apun be cheh, apun be cheh jeng in ahi.
The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
14 Hitobang chun neile gou keu hilouvin kelngoi jong, keltah jong, bonghon jong chule soh le kol jong tamtah ahin neitan, hiche ho jeh hin Phalistine miten nasatah in ahung engse tauvin ahi.
He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] envied him.
15 Hichun Phalistine miho chu athangthip jeh'un Isaac twikhuh jouse chu abonchan asuhbing peh tauvin ahi. Hiche twikhuh ho sese hi apa Abraham adamlaiya asohten ana laihou chu ahi.
Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham [Father of a multitude] his father, the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] had stopped, and filled with earth.
16 Chuin Abimelech in achaina in Isaac komma aseiye, “Nangma keiho komma kon in chedoh tan ajeh chu nangma keiho sang in natha lhing jotai,” ati.
Abimelech [My father king] said to Isaac [Laughter], “Go from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
17 Hichun Isaac chu amaho komma kon in achen Gerar phaicham ah amaho ponbuh akison uvin hiche mun achun aching tauve.
Isaac [Laughter] departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
18 Chuin Isaac in Apa Abraham thi jouva Palestine mipiten ana huhbing peh'u twikhuh ho sese chu alai hong kit'in apa Abraham'in ana minsah twikhuh min ho chu avel sah kit in asem hoisah kit tai.
Isaac [Laughter] dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham [Father of a multitude] his father. For the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] had stopped them after the death of Abraham [Father of a multitude]. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 Isaac sohten Gerar phaicham chu twikhuh alai uva ahile twisam phungkhat alai doh tauve.
Isaac [Laughter]’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
20 Ahin Gerar gamma kelngoi chinghon Isaac kelngoi chingho komma chun “hiche twikhuh hi keiho twikhuh ahi,” atiuvin a kinelpi tauvin ahi; hichun Isaac in hiche twikhuh chu “Esek” asah'in hichun avetsah chu “Kiboina mun,” tina ahi.
The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac [Laughter]’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 Hichun Isaac sohten twikhuh chom dang khat alai kit'un ahile hiche mun jong chu boina ahung um kittan hichun Isaac in “Sitnah” (Tichu kitomona mun tina ahi) asah tan ahi.
They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.

He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now Adonai has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23 Hiche mun a pat chun Isaac in Beersheba ah akichon kittai.
He went up from there to Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath].
24 Hiche jan lele chun Isaac henga Pathen ahung kilah in “Keima napa Abraham Pathen chu kahi, Imacha gichat na nei hih behin ajeh chu keiman nangma ka umpi jing nai, chule phatthei ka boh ding nahi, nason nachilhah te jong hatah a ka punsah ding amaho nam lentah ka soding ahi. Hiche hohi kasuh bulhing ding ahi. Ajeh chu ka sohpa Abraham koma kana kitep nasa ahi.”
Adonai appeared to him the same night, and said, “I am the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude] your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s sake.”
25 Hichun Isaac in hiche mun achun maicham asem in Pathen ahou tai, chule aman aponbuh jong asongdoh kit in asohten twikhuh khat alaikit un ahi.
He built an altar there, and called on Adonai’s name, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac [Laughter]’s servants dug a well.
26 Ni khat chu Abimelech jong Gerar gamma pat na semangpa Ahuzzath chule asepai lamkai Phicol akipuiyin Isaac to kimuto dingin ahungtai.
Then Abimelech [My father king] went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.
27 Isaac in amaho chu adong in, “Ipi dinga ka henga hung nahiuven nei vetda uva nagam uva patna neino doh hitalou ham?” ana ti.
Isaac [Laughter] said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?”
28 Ama hon adon but'un, “Keihon Pathen in nangma na umpi hi phatechan kamu chen tauve. Hijeh chun nangho le keiho kikah a kihou cham ding kanom ui, chule ikah uva kitepna khat sem kanom uve.
They said, “We saw plainly that Adonai was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with you,
29 Ahi theile ki hou cham na inei thei ding'u dei aum lheh e, keima hon jong nangho chunga imacha bolse pou ving'e, kei hon nang ho ka ngailu jing uve. Chule lung damsel a kasol doh joh nahiuve. Ven! tun nangho Pathen in nasatah in phatthei naboh tauve.
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 Adonai.”
30 Hichun Isaac in kinopto na ankong nehkhom na asem in amahon abonchauvin anekhom un adonkhom un ahi.
He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

They rose up some time in the morning, and swore to one another. Isaac [Laughter] sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32 Hiche ni ma ma chun Isaac sohten twisam thah khat alai doh'u chu thu ahung peuvin amahon aseiyun, “Keihon twisam thah khat kamu uve,” ahung tiuve.
The same day, Isaac [Laughter]’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.”
33 Hichun Isaac in twisam thah chu Shebath asah tai. (Shebath tichu kinoptona tina ahi) Hiche nia patna chu tuni gei a hi Beershiba khopi kiti ahiye.
He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath] to this day.

When Esau [Hairy] was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear].

They grieved Isaac [Laughter]’s and Rebekah [Securely bound]’s spirits.
