< Genesis 26 >

1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
Beela isa bara Abrahaam biyyichatti buʼe sana malee beelli biraa tokko ammas biyya sanatti buʼe; Yisihaaqis gara Geraaraa gara Abiimelek mooticha Filisxeem dhaqe.
2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
Waaqayyos Yisihaaqitti mulʼatee akkana jedhe; “Biyya ani akka ati keessa jiraattuuf sitti himu keessa jiraadhu malee Gibxitti gad hin buʼin.
3 sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
Biyyuma kana jiraadhu; ani si wajjin nan taʼa; sin eebbisas; biyya kana hunda sii fi sanyii keetiif nan kennaatii. Ani kakuun abbaa kee Abrahaamiif kakadhe sana nan guuta.
4 and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
Ani akkuma urjiiwwan samii sanyii kee nan baayʼisa; biyya kana hundas isaaniif nan kenna; saboonni lafa irra jiran hundinuus karaa sanyii keetiitiin eebbifamu.
5 because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
Kunis waan Abrahaam dubbii koo dhagaʼee fedhii koo, ajaja koo, labsii kootii fi seera koo eegeef.”
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
Yisihaaqis Geraaraa keessa jiraate.
7 and the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, My wife; lest, [said he], the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah: because she was fair to look upon.
Innis yommuu namoonni biyya sanaa waaʼee niitii isaa isa gaafatanitti waan Ribqaan bareedduu taateef, “Namoonni naannoo kanaa sababii isheetiif na ajjeesu taʼa” jedhee yaaduudhaan, “Isheen niitii koo ti” jechuu sodaatee, “Isheen obboleettii koo ti” jedhe.
8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
Erga Yisihaaq yeroo dheeraa achi jiraatee booddee, Abiimelek mootichi Filisxeemii foddaa keessaan gad ilaale; utuu Yisihaaq niitii isaa Ribqaa hooqsuu arge.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
Abiimelekis Yisihaaqin ofitti waamee, “Isheen dhugumaan niitii kee ti! Yoos ati maaliif, ‘Isheen obboleettii koo ti’ jette ree?” jedheen. Yisihaaqis, “Waan ani sababii isheetiif lubbuu koo nan dhaba taʼa jedhee yaadeef” jedhee deebiseef.
10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
Abiimelek immoo, “Wanni ati nutti hojjette kun maali? Utuu namoota kanneen keessaa tokko niitii kee wajjin ciisee jiraatee silaa ati yakka nutti fiddee turte” jedheen.
11 And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
Kana irratti Abiimelek, “Namni namicha kana yookaan niitii isaa tuqu kam iyyuu dhugumaan ajjeefamuu qaba” jedhee nama hundaaf ajaja kenne.
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
Yisihaaqis biyya sanatti midhaan facaafatee waan Waaqayyo isa eebbiseef baruma sana keessa dachaa dhibba galfate.
13 And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great:
Innis ni hore; hamma akka malee sooromuttis qabeenyi isaa ittuma fufee baayʼate.
14 and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him.
Innis bushaayee, loowwanii fi hojjettoota hedduu qaba ture; Filisxeemonnis isatti hinaafan.
15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
Kanaafuu Filisxeemonni boolla bishaanii hojjettoonni abbaa isaa bara Abrahaam keessa qotan hundatti biyyoo naqanii duuchan.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
Abiimelekis Yisihaaqiin, “Ati baayʼee nu caalaa jabaatteertaatii nurraa deemi” jedhe.
17 And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Yisihaaq achii kaʼee sulula Geraaraa keessa qubatee achi jiraate.
18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Yisihaaqis boollawwan bishaanii bara abbaa isaa bara Abrahaam keessa qotaman kanneen Filisxeemonni erga Abrahaam duʼee booddee duuchan sana deebisee bane; innis maquma abbaan isaa kenneefii ture sanaan isaan waame.
19 And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Tajaajiltoonni Yisihaaq sulula sana keessatti lafa qotanii boolla bishaan burquu argatan.
20 And the herdmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they contended with him.
Tiksoonni Geraaraa, “Bishaan kun kan keenya!” jedhanii tiksoota Yisihaaq wajjin wal lolan. Kanaafuu inni sababii wal falmaniif boolla bishaanii sana, “Eeseeq” jedhee moggaase.
21 And they digged another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
Ergasiis boolla bishaanii biraa qotan; isaan garuu boolla bishaanii sana irrattis wal lolan; kana irratti Yisihaaq boolla bishaanii sana “Sixinaa” jedhee moggaase.
22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
Innis achii kaʼee iddoo biraa dhaqee boolla bishaanii biraa achitti qote; namni tokko iyyuu isa irratti wal hin lolle. Innis, “Waaqayyo amma iddoo balʼaa nuu kenneera; nu biyyattii keessatti ni baayʼanna” jechuudhaan Rehooboot jedheen.
23 And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
Innis achii kaʼee gara Bersheebaatti ol baʼe.
24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
Waaqayyos halkanuma sana isatti mulʼatee akkana jedheen; “Ani Waaqa abbaa kee Abrahaam; ani waan si wajjin jiruuf hin sodaatin. Garbicha koo Abrahaamiif jedhees ani sin eebbisa; sanyii kees nan baayʼisa.”
25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
Yisihaaq achitti iddoo aarsaa ijaaree maqaa Waaqayyoo waammate. Dunkaana isaas achi dhaabbate; tajaajiltoonni isaas iddoo sanatti boolla bishaanii qotatan.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host.
Ergasiis Abiimelek gorsaa isaa Ahuzaatii fi ajajaa loltoota isaa Fiikool wajjin Geraaraadhaa kaʼee gara Yisihaaq dhufe.
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
Yisihaaq immoo, “Isin erga na jibbitanii of biraa na ariitanii maaliif gara koo dhuftan?” isaaniin jedhe.
28 And they said, We saw plainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there now be an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
Isaanis akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Nu akka Waaqayyo si wajjin jiru ifaan ifatti argineerra; kanaafuu nu, ‘Kakuun walii galtee gidduu keenya jechuunis nuu fi si gidduu jiraachuu qaba’ jenne; mee kottu si wajjin walii galtee godhannaa.
29 that thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
Kunis akkuma nu utuu waan gaarii malee waan hamaa sirraan hin gaʼin nagaan of irraa si geggeessine sana akka atis nu hin miineef. Ati amma illee nama Waaqayyo eebbisee dha.”
30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
Yisihaaqis nyaata isaaniif qopheesse; isaanis ni nyaatan; ni dhuganis.
31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Namoonni sun guyyaa itti aanu ganama barraaqa kaʼanii walii kakatan. Yisihaaqis isaan geggeesse; jarris nagumaan isa biraa deeman.
32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
Guyyuma sana hojjettoonni Yisihaaq dhufanii waaʼee boolla bishaanii qotan sanaa isaatti himan. Isaanis, “Nu bishaan arganneerra!” jedhan.
33 And he called it Shibah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.
Innis boolla bishaanii sana, “Shibeʼaa” jedhee moggaase. Hamma harʼaatti maqaan magaalaa sanaa Bersheebaa jedhama.
34 And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Esaawu yeroo umuriin isaa waggaa afurtama guuteetti Yoodiiti intala Biʼeer namicha gosa Heeti akkasumas Baasmati intala Eeloon namicha gosa Heeti fuudhe.
35 and they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
Isaanis Yisihaaqii fi Ribqaa gaddisiisan.
