Genesis 26 (BEO)

1Soge huluane da ha:i bagade eno ba:i. Musa:, A:ibalaha:me ea esoga ha:i bagade ba:i, be amo da eno. Aisage da Abimelege amo Filisidini hina bagade Gila moilai bai bagade ganodini esalu, ema asi.Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.

2Hina Gode da Aisagema misini, amane sia:i, “Idibidi amoga mae masa. Be na olelemu soge amo ganodini esaloma.The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.

3Amo soge ganodini fonobahadi ouesaloma. Amalalu, Na amola gilisili esalumu amola dima hahawane dogolegele fidimu. Bai Na da amo soge huluane Na da dima amola dia fa:no lalelegemu fi ilima imunu. Na da gousa:su dia ada A:ibalaha:mema hamoi, amo Na da didili hamomu.Stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.

4Na da digaga fi dunu amo gasumuni ilia idi defele hamomu. Amo soge huluane ilima imunu. Amola ilia houba:le, osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane da hahawane dogolegele hou ba:mu.I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,

5Bai A:ibalaha:me da Na sia: nabasu. E da Na hanai amola Na Sema amola Na hamoma:ne sia:i huluane mae fili, nabasu hou hamosu.because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

6Amaiba:le, Aisage da Gila moilai bai bagade ganodini esalu.So Isaac settled in Gerar.

7Amo soge dunu da ea uda ea hou ema adole ba:loba, e da amane sia:i, “E da na dalusi.” E da, “Amo da na uda” sia:musa: bagade beda:i galu. Bai e agoane dawa:i, “Amo soge dunu da Lebega da na uda dawa:sea, na fane legemu. Bai e da noga:iwane ba:sa.”But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of this place will kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”

8Aisage amogai eso bagohame esaloba, Filisidini hina bagade dunu Abimelege, da ea fo misa:ne agenesi amoga gududili ba:loba, Aisage ea uda Lebega amo nonogonanebe ba:i.When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.

9Amaiba:le, Abimelege da Aisagema misa:ne sia:i. E da amane sia:i, “Amo da dia uda. Di da abuli, ‘amo da na dalusi’ sia:bela:?” Aisage da ema bu adole i, “Na da enoga medosa:besa:le, agoane hamoi.”Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”

10Amalalu, Abimelege da amane sia:i, “Di da ninima adi hamobela:? Ninia fi dunu afae da ema gilisili golai ganiaba, ninia huluane da wadela:i dunu fi ba:la:loba.”“What is this you have done to us?” asked Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”

11Amaiba:le, Abimelege da ea fi dunu ilima amane sia:i, “Nowa da amo dunu o ea uda wadela:sea, amo dunu ninia fane legemu.”So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

12Aisage da amo soge ganodini, ha:i manu bugi. Hina Gode da hahawane dogolegelewane fidibiba:le, amo bugi da ha:i manu bagade legei.Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

13E da bagade gagui dunu agoane ba:i. Ea gagui da asigilabeba:le, ea gagui da bagadedafa ba:i.and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

14E sibi, goudi amola bulamagau bagohame gaguiba:le, Filisidini dunu da e mudale ba:i.He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

15Amaiba:le, Filisidini dunu da hano uli dogoi huluane amo ea ada hawa: hamosu dunu da A:ibalaha:me ea esoga dogoi, amo huluane ga:si. Ilia huluane osoboga nabasu.So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.

16Amalalu, Abimelege da Aisagema amane sia:i, “Di nini yolesili masa! Bai di da gasa bagade hamoi dagoi.”Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

17Amaiba:le, Aisage da amo soge yolesili, Gila Fago amoga esalu.So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.

18Amoga hano uli dogoi amo A:ibalaha:me ea esoga dogoi be Filisidini dunu da ga:i, amo Aisage bu doasi. Amola dio A:ibalaha:me da amo uli dogoi amoma asuli, amo dio Aisage bu asuli.Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.

19Aisage da umi amo ganodini dogolalu, noga:iwane hano ba:i.Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.

20Be Gila sibi ouligisu dunu da Aisage ea sibi ouligisu dunu ilima sia:ga gegei. Ilia amane sia:i, “Amo hano da ninia:.” Amaiba:le, e da amo hanoma “Sia:ga Gegesu” dio asuli.But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.

21Amalalu ilia da hano uli dou eno dogoi. Be ilia amoga eno sia:ga gegei. Amaiba:le, e da amo hanoma Sidina (Ha Lai) dio asuli.Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

22Bu asili, e da hano uli eno dogoi. Amoga ilia da hame sia:ga gegei. Amaiba:le, e da amo hano uli dogoima Lihoubode (Hahawane Halegale Lala) dio asuli. E amane sia:i, “Wali Hina Gode da sogebi defele ninima ia dagoiba:le, ninia da hahawane soge ganodini udigili lala.”He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”

23Amoga asili, e da Biasiba amoga asi.From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,

24Amo gasia, Hina Gode da ema misini amane sia:i, “Na da dia ada A:ibalaha:me amo ea Gode esala. Mae beda:ma! Na da di amola gilisili lala. Na da Na hawa: hamosu dunu A:ibalaha:mema hahawane sia:beba:le, Na dima hahawane dogolegele hamomu amola digaga lalelegemu fi amo bagade hamomu.”and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”

25Aisage da amo sogega oloda hamone, Hina Godema nodone sia:ne gadoi. E amoga abula diasu gagui, amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu da hano uli dogoi.So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.

26Abimelege, ea fidisu dunu Ahusa:de amola ea dadi gagui dunu hina amo Fa:igole da Gila moilai bai bagade yolesili, Aisagema doaga:i.Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

27Amalalu, Aisage ema amane adole ba:i, “Di da musa: nama ha laiba:le, dia soge fisili masa:ne nama sia:i dagoi. Amaiba:le, di abuliba:le nama waha misi?”“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”

28Ilia bu adole i, “Wali ninia dawa:! Hina Gode da dia fidisu esala. Ninia wali gousa:sudafa hamomu da defea.“We can plainly see that the LORD has been with you,” they replied. “We recommend that there should now be an oath between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you

29Di ninima se maedafa ima:ne sia:ma. Ninia da dima se hame i, amo defele di da nini fidimu da defea. Ninia da dima asigi hou hamonanu, dia ga masa:ne logo doasi dagoi. Amola wali Hina Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele ilegei dagoi.”that you will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only good to you, sending you on your way in peace. And now you are blessed by the LORD.”

30Aisage da ili moma:ne, lolo nasu hamoi. Ilia huluane ha:i amola waini hano mai dagoi.So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31Aya hahabedafa, Aisage amola Filisidini dunu da gousa:su hamoi. Aisage da ilima “asigibio” sia:nanu, ilia olofole agoane afafai.And they got up early the next morning and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.

32Amo esoga, Aisage ea hawa: hamosu dunu da ema misini, ilia da hano uli dogoi amo olelei. Ilia da amane sia:i, “Ninia hano ba:i dagoi.”On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.

33E da amo hano Siba (“hou ilegele sia:” o eno dawaloma:ne da “fesuale hano”). Biasiba da amoga ea dio lai dagoi.So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.

34Iso da ode 40 lai dagoi. Amalalu, e da Hidaide a:fini aduna lai dagoi. Afae ea dio da Yudide amo Bieli ea mano. Eno da Basemade amo Ilone ea mano.When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35Aisage amola Lebega da amo hou ba:beba:le, se bagade nabasu.And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
