Genesis 26 (ILOULB)

1Ita, adda napasamak a panagbisin iti daga, malaksid iti immuna a panagbisin a napasamak kadagidi al-aldaw ni Abraham. Napan ni Isaac kenni Abimelec nga ari dagiti Filisteo idiay Gerar.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.

2Ita, nagparang ni Yahweh kenkuana ket kinunana, “Saanka a mapan idiay Egipto; agnaedka iti daga nga imbagak kenka a pagnaedam.The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.

3Agtalinaedka iti daytoy a daga, ket addaakto kenka ken bendisionankanto; ta kenka ken kadagiti kaputotamto, itedkonto amin dagitoy a dagdaga, ken tungpalekto ti kari a sinapataak kenni Abraham nga amam.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.

4Paadduekto dagiti kaputotam a kas kadagiti bituen iti langit, ken itedkonto kadagiti kaputotam amin dagitoy a dagdaga. Mabendisionanto amin a nasion iti daga babaen kadagiti kaputotam.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,

5Aramidek daytoy gapu ta nagtulnog ni Abraham iti timekko ken tinungpalna dagiti pagannurotak, dagiti bilinko, dagiti alagadek, ken dagiti lintegko.”because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

6Nagnaed ngarud ni Isaac idiay Gerar.So Isaac settled in Gerar.

7Idi dinamag kenkuana dagiti lallaki iti dayta a lugar ti maipanggep iti asawana, kinunana, “Kabsatko isuna.” Mabuteng isuna a mangibaga nga, “Asawak isuna,” gapu ta ti napanunotna, “Papatayendak dagiti lallaki iti daytoy a lugar tapno alaenda ni Rebecca, gapu ta napintas unay isuna.”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.”

8Kalpasan iti nabayag a tiempo a kaadda ni Isaac sadiay, nairana a timman-aw ni Abimelec nga ari dagiti Filisteo iti tawa. Nakitana a lalailoen ni Isaac ni Rebecca nga asawana.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.

9Inayaban ni Abimelec ni Isaac ket kinunana, “Kitaem, awan dua dua nga asawam isuna. Apay nga imbagam a, 'Kabsatko isuna'?” Kinuna ni Isaac kenkuana,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.”

10“Gapu ta napanunotko a mabalin a papatayendak ti siasinoman tapno maalada isuna.” Kinuna ni Abimelec, “Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo kadakami? Mabalin a maysa kadagiti tattao ket silalakada a kinaidda ti asawam ket no napasamak ti kasta, nganngani nakami nga insarsarak iti pakabasolanmi.”“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.”

11Isu a binallaagan ni Abimelec dagiti amin a tattao a kinunana, “Siasinoman a mangsagid iti daytoy a lalaki wenno iti asawana ket siguradonto a mapapatay.So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

12Nagmula ni Isaac kadagiti mulmula iti dayta a daga ken nagapit iti dayta met laeng a tawen iti mamingasut a kaadu, gapu ta binendisionan ni Yahweh isuna.Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

13Nagbalin a nabaknang ti lalaki, ken rimmang-ay a rimmang-ay inggana a nagbalin isuna a naindaklan unay.and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

14Addaan isuna kadagiti adu a karnero, ken bakbaka, ken dakkel a sangkabalayan. Ket immapal dagiti Filisteo kenkuana.He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

15Ita, amin dagiti bubon a kinali dagiti adipen ni amana kadagidi al-aldaw ni Abraham nga amana, ket sinullatan dagiti Filisteo babaen iti pananggaburda kadagitoy iti daga.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.

16Kinuna ni Abimelec kenni Isaac, “Umadayoka kadakami, ta nabilbilegka nga adayo ngem kadakami.”Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

17Isu a pimmanaw ni Isaac manipud sadiay ket nagkampo idiay tanap ti Gerar, ket nagnaed sadiay.So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.

18Kinali manen ni Isaac dagiti bubon, a kinalida kadagidi al-aldaw ni Abraham nga amana. Sinullatan dagitoy dagiti Filisteo kalpasan ti ipapatay ni Abraham. Pinanaganan ni Isaac dagiti bubon iti isu met laeng a nagnagan nga impanagan ti amana kadagitoy.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.

19Idi nagkali dagiti adipen ni Isaac idiay tanap, nakasarakda sadiay iti bubon ti agay-ayus a danum.Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.

20Nakiapa dagiti agpaspastor a taga-Gerar kadagiti agpaspastor ni Isaac ket kinunada, “Kukuami daytoy a danum.” Isu a pinanaganan ni Isaac dayta a bubon iti “Esek,” gapu ta nakiapada kenkuana.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.

21Kalpasanna, nangkalida iti sabali pay a bubon, ket pinagaapanda manen dayta, isu a pinanagananna dayta a bubon iti “Sitnah.”Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

22Pimmanaw isuna sadiay ket nangkalida iti sabali pay a bubon, ngem saandan a pinagaapaan dayta. Isu a pinanaganannam daytoy iti Rehobot, ket kinunana, “Ita nangaramid ni Yahweh iti lugar para kadatayo, ket rumang-aytayonto iti daga.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.”

23Ket manipud sadiay, simmang-at ni Isaac idiay Beerseba.From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,

24Nagparang ni Yahweh kenkuana iti dayta met laeng a rabii ket kinunana, “Siak ti Dios ni Abraham nga amam. Saanka nga agbuteng, ta addaak kenka ken bendisionankanto ken paadduek dagiti kaputotam, gapu kenni Abraham nga adipenko.”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.”

25Nangbangon ni Isaac iti altar sadiay ket immawag isuna iti nagan ni Yahweh. Sadiayna nga impatakder ti kampona, ket nagkali dagiti adipenna iti bubon.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.

26Kalpasanna, napan ni Abimelec kenkuana manipud Gerar, a kaduana ni Ahuzzat a gayyemna, ken ni Ficol a kapitan ti armadana.Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

27Kinuna ni Isaac kadakuada, “Apay nga immaykayo kaniak, idinto a kagurguradak ken pinapanawdak manipud kadakayo?”“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”

28Ket kinunada, “Nalawag a nakitami nga adda ni Yahweh kenka. Isu nga inkeddengmi a masapul nga adda kari iti nagbaetantayo, wen, iti nagbaetantayo. Isu a mangaramidtayo iti katulagan,“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

29a saannakaminto a dangran, a kas iti saanmi a panangdangran kenka, ken kas iti panangtratomi kenka iti nasayaat ken pinapanawdaka nga addaan kapia. Pudno, binendisionannaka ni Yahweh.”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.”

30Nangisagana ngarud ni Isaac iti padaya para kadakuada, ket nangan ken imminumda.So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31Bimmangonda a nasapa iti bigbigat ket nagsapatada iti kari iti tunggal maysa. Kalpasanna, pinalubosan ida ni Isaac a pumanaw, ket pinanawanda isuna nga addaan kapia.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.

32Iti dayta met laeng nga aldaw, dimteng dagiti adipen ni Isaac ket imbagada kenkuana ti maipanggep iti bubon a kinalida. Kinunada, “Adda nasarakanmi a danum.”On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.

33Pinanagananna ti bubon iti Seba, isu a ti nagan dayta a siudad ket Beerseba agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw.So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.

34Idi agtawen ni Esau iti uppat a pulo, inasawana ni Judit a putot a babai ni Beeri a Heteo, kasta met ni Basemat a putot a babai ni Elon a Heteo.When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35Ket ladingit ti impapaayda kada Isaac ken Rebecca.And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
