Genesis 26
1 And there came to be a famine in the land, besides the first famine which happened in the days of Abraham, —so Isaac went his way unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines towards Gerar;
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.
2 and Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, do not go down towards Egypt, —Make thy habitation in the land, which I may name unto thee:
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.
3 Sojourn in this land, that I may be with thee and bless thee, —for, to thee, and to thy seed, will I give all these lands, So will I establish the oath which I sware to Abraham thy father;
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.
4 and will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and will give to thy seed, all these lands, —And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in thy seed:
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;
5 Because that Abraham hearkened unto my voice, —and so kept my charge, my commandments my statutes and my laws.
Koeʻuhi naʻe talangofua ʻa ʻEpalahame ki hoku leʻo, mo ne maʻu ʻeku tala, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, mo ʻeku tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fono.”
6 So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻAisake ʻi Kela.
7 Then asked the men of the place as to his wife, and he said, My sister, is she, —For he feared to say My wife, lest [said he] the men of the place should slay me on account of Rebekah, for fair to look on, she is.
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.
8 And it came to pass when the days had lengthened out to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines, looked out through the lattice of a window, —and he beheld and lo! Isaac—laughing with Rebekah his wife.
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.
9 So Abimelech called for Isaac, and said, But lo she is, thy wife! How then, saidst thou, She is, my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because, I said, Lest I die on her account.
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.”
10 Then, said, Abimelech, What is this thou hast done to us? A little more, and one of the people might have lien with thy wife, so shouldst thou have brought upon us, guilt.
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.”
11 And Abimelech commanded all the people saying, —He that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely be put to death
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.”
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year, a hundredfold, —seeing that Yahweh had blessed him.
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.
13 So the man waxed great, —and went on and on waxing great until that he had waxed exceeding great.
Pea naʻe tupu pe ʻae tangata, pea fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa ia, pea ne tupu ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
14 So he came to have possessions of flocks and possessions of herds, and a large body of servants, —and the Philistines envied him.
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.
15 And as for all the wells which the servants of his father digged, in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up, and filled them with dust.
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.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, —Get thee from us, for thou hast become far mightier than we.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻAisake, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻiate kimautolu; he ʻoku ke mālohi hake koe ʻiate kimautolu.”
17 So Isaac went from thence, —and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Pea ʻalu mei ai ʻa ʻAisake, pea fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Kela, pea nofo ai ia.
18 And Isaac again digged the wells of water which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines stopped up after the death of Abraham, —and he called their names, after the names which his father called them.
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.
19 And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, —and found there a well of living water.
Pea naʻe keli ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he teleʻa ʻo nau ʻilo ai ʻae matavai moʻui.
20 And the herdmen of Gerar disputed with the herdmen of Isaac saying, Ours, is the, water! So he called the name of the well Esek, because they had stirred up a quarrel with him.
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.
21 And they digged another well, and they disputed over that also, —so he called the name thereof Sitnah.
Pea naʻa nau keli ʻae vai ʻe taha, pea nau fakakikihi ki ai foki; pea ne ui hono hingoa ʻo ia ko Sitina.
22 And he moved on from thence and digged another well, and they disputed not for it, —so he called the name thereof. Rehoboth, and said, For, now, hath Yahweh made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
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.”
23 And he went up from thence, to Beer-sheba.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai ki Peasipa.
24 And Yahweh appeared unto him the same night, and said, I, am the God of Abraham thy father, —Do not fear for with thee, am, I, And I will bless thee and multiply thy seed, For the sake of Abraham my servant.
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.”
25 So he builded there all altar and called on the name of Yahweh, and spread out there, his tent, —and the servants of Isaac cut out there a well.
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.
26 And, Abimelech, came unto him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol, commander of his host.
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.
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore have ye come in mite me, seeing that, ye, hated me, and sent me away from you?
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.”
28 And they said: We, saw plainly, that Yahweh was with thee, so we said, Let there be we pray thee an oath betwixt us both, betwixt us and thee, —and let us solemnise a covenant with thee: —
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;’
29 That, thou wilt not do wrong by us, according as we touched not thee, and according as we did by thee nothing but good, and then sent thee away in peace, thee who, now, art blessed of Yahweh!
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.”
30 So he made for them a banquet, and they did eat and drink, —
Pea naʻe teu ʻe ia hanau kātoanga, pea naʻa nau kai mo inu.
31 and rose up early in the morning, and took an oath each man to his brother, so Isaac let them go, and they departed from him in peace.
Pea nau tuʻu hengihengi hake mo nau fefuakavaʻaki: pea naʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻAisake, pea naʻa nau ʻalu ʻiate ia ʻi he fiemālie.
32 And it came to pass, on the same day, that the servants of Isaac came in, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said to him, We have found water!
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.”
33 So he called it, Shibah. For this cause, hath the name of the city, been Beer-sheba, unto this day.
Pea ne ui ia ko Sipa; ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae kolo ko ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ko Peasipa.
34 And when Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith, daughter of Beeri. the Hittite; and Basemath, daughter of Elon, the Hittite;
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.
35 and they became a bitterness of spirit, to Isaac and to Rebekah.
Ko e meʻa ko ia, naʻe mamahi ai ʻae loto ʻo ʻAisake mo Lepeka.
