< Genesis 26 >

1 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.
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 Adonai appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt [Abode of slavery]. Live in the land I will tell you about.
Ie amy zao, nisodehañe am’ Ietsàke t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe, Ko mitaveam-b’e Mitsraime añe; fa mitobea an-tane hatoroko azo.
3 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.
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 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,
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 [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·.”
amy te nihaoñe’ i Avrahame ty feoko le nitambozore’e i namantohakoy, o fepèkoo, o fañekoo vaho o Fanoroakoo.
6 Isaac [Laughter] lived in Gerar.
Aa le nitoetse e Gerare ao t’Ietsàke.
7 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.”
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 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.
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 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.’”
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 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!”
Hoe ty Abimeleke, Inoñe arè ty nanoe’o ama’ay? Kera niolots’ amy vali’oy t’indaty le ho nañakeo anay rehe.
11 Abimelech [My father king] enjoined all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will 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 Isaac [Laughter] sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Adonai blessed him.
Nitongy amy taney t’Ietsàke le nanatake in-jato amy taoñey avao, amy te nitahie’ Iehovà,
13 The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
vaho niha-mpañarivo indatiy le mbe nionjoñe avao ty firaoraoa’e ampara’ te nimpañaleale.
14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] envied him.
Ie amam-pirai-lia naho mpirai-troke vaho tsiefa o pitoro’eo, le nikirañe aze o nte-Pilistio.
15 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.
Aa le finempe’ o nte-Pilistio naho linembeke tane o vovoñe hinali’ o mpitoron-drae’eo tañandro’ i Avrahameo.
16 Abimelech [My father king] said to Isaac [Laughter], “Go from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
Le hoe t’i Abimelek’ am’Ietsàke, Misi­taha, fa loho maozatse te ama’ay rehe.
17 Isaac [Laughter] departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
Aa le nienga boak’ao t’Ietsàke naho nitobe am-bavatane’ i Gerare vaho nitoetse eo;
18 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.
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 Isaac [Laughter]’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Le nihaly amy vavataney o mpitoro’ Ietsàkeo le nanjo vovoñe nigoangoan-drano.
20 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.
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 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.
Nihaly vovoñe ­indraike iereo vaho nifanjomorañe ka, aa le nitokave’e Sitnà.
22 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.”
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 He went up from there to Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath].
Boak’ ao re nionjoñe mb’e Beersevà mb’eo.
24 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.”
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 He built an altar there, and called on Adonai’s name, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac [Laughter]’s servants dug 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 Then Abimelech [My father king] went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.
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 [Laughter] said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?”
Hoe t’Ietsak’ am’iereo, Inom-bao ty nomba’areo mb’ amako mb’etoa kanao malaiñe ahy, toe natao’ areo soike?
28 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,
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 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.”
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 He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Aa le nañalankaña’e sabadidake, le nikama naho ninoñe.
31 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.
Nitroatse marain-tsikiake iereo le nifañina am-panta, naho na­sese’ Ietsàke mb’eo vaho nienga aze an-kanintsiñe.
32 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.”
Nitotsak’ ama’e amy àndroy ka ty mpitoro’ Iets­ake nita­lily i vovoñe hinali’ iereo anianiy, ty hoe, Nahatrea rano zahay!
33 He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath] to this day.
Natao’e Sivà ty añara’e; aa le Beer-Sevà ty añara’ i rovay henaneo.
34 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].
Ie niefapolo taoñe t’i Esave, le nañenga Iehoditè ana’ i Bierý nte-Khete, naho i Basmàte ana’ i Elòne nte-Khete;
35 They grieved Isaac [Laughter]’s and Rebekah [Securely bound]’s spirits.
f’ie nampioremeñe ty arofo’ Ietsàke naho i Ribkae.
