Genesis 26
1 And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines to Gerara.
Ie amy zao nikerè ty tane, nandimbe i hasalikoañe nifetsake tañandro’ i Avrahamey. Le noly mb’e Gerare mb’ amy Abimèleke nte-Pilisty mb’eo t’Ietsàke.
2 And the Lord appeared to him and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.
Ie amy zao, nisodehañe am’ Ietsàke t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe, Ko mitaveam-b’e Mitsraime añe; fa mitobea an-tane hatoroko azo.
3 And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.
Mimoneña an-tane atoy, le himbaeko vaho ho tahieko; amy te hatoloko azo naho amo tarira’o iabio o tane retoañe; le ho henefeko ty fanta nifantàko amy Avrahame rae’o.
4 And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
Hampiraeko amo vasian-dikerañeo o tarira’oo naho hatoloko amo tarira’oo o hene tane toañeo vaho amo tarira’oo ty hitahiañe ze hene foko an-tane atoy
5 Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.
amy te nihaoñe’ i Avrahame ty feoko le nitambozore’e i namantohakoy, o fepèkoo, o fañekoo vaho o Fanoroakoo.
6 So Isaac abode in Gerara.
Aa le nitoetse e Gerare ao t’Ietsàke.
7 And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty.
Ie nañontane i vali’ey ondati’ i rovaio, le hoe re, Rahavaveko toke, amy t’ie nihembañe tsy te hanao ty hoe, Valiko, fa natao’e te hañe-doza ama’e ondatio, ty amy hamontramontra’ i Ribkae.
8 And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca his wife.
Ie tambatse ela ao t’Ietsàke le nitilihitse ami’ty lalan-kede t’i Abimeleke mpanjaka’ o nte-Pelistio: niisa’e te heheke nitsapatsapa i Ribkae vali’e t’Ietsàke.
9 And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.
Aa le nampikanjie’ i Abimeleke t’Ietsàke vaho nanoa’e ty hoe, Toe vali’o re! Ino ty nanoe’o ty hoe Rahavaveko? Hoe t’Ietsàke tama’e, Nataoko hera hikenkañe ty ama’e raho.
10 And Abimelech said: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying:
Hoe ty Abimeleke, Inoñe arè ty nanoe’o ama’ay? Kera niolots’ amy vali’oy t’indaty le ho nañakeo anay rehe.
11 He that shall touch this man’s wife, shall surely be put to death.
Aa le hinatahata’ i Abimeleke ondati’e iabio ami’ty hoe, Toe havetrake ze mitsapa t’indaty toy ndra i vali’ey.
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
Nitongy amy taney t’Ietsàke le nanatake in-jato amy taoñey avao, amy te nitahie’ Iehovà,
13 And the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great:
vaho niha-mpañarivo indatiy le mbe nionjoñe avao ty firaoraoa’e ampara’ te nimpañaleale.
14 And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying him,
Ie amam-pirai-lia naho mpirai-troke vaho tsiefa o pitoro’eo, le nikirañe aze o nte-Pilistio.
15 Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:
Aa le finempe’ o nte-Pilistio naho linembeke tane o vovoñe hinali’ o mpitoron-drae’eo tañandro’ i Avrahameo.
16 Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
Le hoe t’i Abimelek’ am’Ietsàke, Misitaha, fa loho maozatse te ama’ay rehe.
17 So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell there:
Aa le nienga boak’ao t’Ietsàke naho nitobe am-bavatane’ i Gerare vaho nitoetse eo;
18 And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called them.
le sinoka’ Ietsàke indraike o vovon-drano nihalieñe tañandro’ i Avrahame rae’eo, o linembe’ o nte-Pilisty iabio naho fa nihomake t’i Avrahame; vaho nitokave’e amo añarañe nitokavan-drae’e.
19 And they digged in the torrent, and found living water.
Le nihaly amy vavataney o mpitoro’ Ietsàkeo le nanjo vovoñe nigoangoan-drano.
20 But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.
Fe nifandietse amo mpiara’ Ietsàkeo o mpiarake nte-Gerareo ami’ty hoe, Anay o ranoo, le natao’e ty hoe Eseke i vovoñey kanao nifandiera’ iereo.
21 And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.
Nihaly vovoñe indraike iereo vaho nifanjomorañe ka, aa le nitokave’e Sitnà.
22 Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.
Ie niveve mb’eo le nihaly vovoñe indraike, f’ie tsy am-pifanoiñe, le natao’e ty hoe Rehobota ami’ty hoe, Fa nañivake ho anay t’Iehovà le hiraorao an-tane atoy.
23 And he went up from that place to Bersabee,
Boak’ ao re nionjoñe mb’e Beersevà mb’eo.
24 Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
Le nisodehañe ama’e amy haleñey t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe, Zaho ro Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame rae’o; ko hemban-drehe fa ama’o raho le ho tahieko vaho hampitozantozañeko o tarira’oo ty amy Avrahame mpitorokoy.
25 And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded his servants to dig a well.
Aa le nandrafetse kitrely eo naho nikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà naho naore’e eo ty kiboho’e vaho nihaly vovoñe eo o mpitoro’ Ietsàkeo.
26 To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,
Nomb’ ama’e mb’eo amy zao t’i Abimèleke boake Gerare, miharo amy Akozàte mpanolo-keve’e naho i Pikole, mpifehe o lahindefo’eo.
27 Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you?
Hoe t’Ietsak’ am’iereo, Inom-bao ty nomba’areo mb’ amako mb’etoa kanao malaiñe ahy, toe natao’ areo soike?
28 And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,
Hoe iereo, Trea’ay malange te ama’o t’Iehovà, le hoe zahay, Antao hifanitike, añivo’ay naho ihe, aa le iantofo te hifañina,
29 That thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing of the Lord.
soa te ihe tsy hijoy anay, hambañe amy te zahay tsy nitsapa azo, fa tsy ino ty nanoe’ay naho tsy ty soa, naho nampañaveloe’ay am-panintsiñañe; toe tahie’ Iehovà rehe henaneo.
30 And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:
Aa le nañalankaña’e sabadidake, le nikama naho ninoñe.
31 Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.
Nitroatse marain-tsikiake iereo le nifañina am-panta, naho nasese’ Ietsàke mb’eo vaho nienga aze an-kanintsiñe.
32 And behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water.
Nitotsak’ ama’e amy àndroy ka ty mpitoro’ Ietsake nitalily i vovoñe hinali’ iereo anianiy, ty hoe, Nahatrea rano zahay!
33 Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day.
Natao’e Sivà ty añara’e; aa le Beer-Sevà ty añara’ i rovay henaneo.
34 And Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon of the same place.
Ie niefapolo taoñe t’i Esave, le nañenga Iehoditè ana’ i Bierý nte-Khete, naho i Basmàte ana’ i Elòne nte-Khete;
35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.
f’ie nampioremeñe ty arofo’ Ietsàke naho i Ribkae.
