Genesis 26 (JUM)

1Aŋ käñ yaŋkalaŋ ŋuca äätin baan jï bata yaana näŋŋä ḍoŋe nïïnkä Abrayiim ti ina. Aŋ Icaak attä yätkä Abimaliik yen mä Palactïïn yaana cääy Jaraar ina ti.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.

2Aŋ Pïṭo üükïn woo Icaak ti aŋ kiinne ogo, “Ŋana ïkï atä ïñï Macïr. Cääyä baan yaana bi kiinenii kä ogo cääyjey ko ye.The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.

3Cääyä baan yaanni ti ïkï agä boorgon, aŋ ika bi ke ïkï aŋ ïkï bi ŋüülkeni. Aŋ bänkä yaakki bi iñenii kä muure ïkï ke kaaynä yüükü, aŋ ika lïïttäŋŋi bi ḍaagä yaana lïïtkänä wääc Abrayiim ye.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.

4Aŋ kaaynä yüükü bi naŋä ḍirä kä yaac bata kiṭṭäni yek polloŋ jïñe, aŋ bänkä yaakki muure bi iñä daa kä. Aŋ kä päy kaaynä yüükü ṭoŋ muure bi a ŋüülkïnï ŋommañ wic.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,

5Kä yaana Abrayiim tiiŋgana kä jiik yaaka ṭäkkä ike ti ye aŋ tïïcee kä iininni yeeki, ke nüüṇṇüni yeeki ye.”because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

6Aŋ Icaak cääjjin baan battä me ogo Jaraar.So Isaac settled in Gerar.

7Aŋ wääna taajene daa kä ook yek baan yaanja kä iiŋe ye, i ike jaajjin ogo, “A käwo.” I booc kä jaajjin ogo, “A iiŋ yeeni.” Ike ḍüücï ogo, “ike bi nägjï ḍok mä baan yaanna, ogo iiŋe Rïpga, kä yaana ŋeree kä ŋer kä yaac ye.”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.”

8Aŋ wääna Icaak cääynee kä wïca nïïnkä kä ḍiräk ye, Abimaliik yätkä yen mä Palactïïn däämjin ïñï kä käälle yen än gunne aŋ Icaak yooṭṭe iiŋe Rïpga ñääjgede.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.

9Aŋ Abimaliik Icaak bärkene aŋ kiinne ogo, “Ay, Rïpga ina a ïïŋü yaanna! Ïkï jaayä ogo käwic ina?” Aŋ luugi Icaak ogo, “Ika booju, ika ḍuucu ogo mäŋkalaŋ ika bi nägjada ḍok aŋ koowje.”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.”

10Aŋ Abimaliik jaajjin ogo, “A ŋaaka ina näŋgonoon kä aŋan yaanna? Aŋ naana yoku por mäŋkalaŋ ïïŋü nïïnne ye, ikoon yoku ickonoon ḍuuggin nääŋkä yaackä.”“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.”

11Aŋ Abimaliik me muure kolle ogo, “M'ana bi täpï yok men yaanni ke iiŋe ye tüwnü bi yoore ti.”So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

12Aŋ baan yaanja ti Icaak pïïttä käwkä, aŋ yun yaanna ti ike iṭṭä cuukulli päk 100 ḍiräk kä käwkä yaaka pïïṇṇe ye, nääŋka ike ŋüülkene daa kä Pïṭo ye.Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

13Aŋ ike wäättä aŋŋa ceeggon mooye kä yaac, aŋ waak yeeke üüttïn kä ḍiirin.and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

14Aŋ ike cäygene ḍiik ke däk ke kiinkä kä ḍiräk aŋ mämgi jï mä Palactïïn.He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

15Aŋ jïïdgä piik muure yaaka küüñï kiinkä wäyen nïïnkä yek wäyen Abrayiim ti ye, cïkï mä Palactïïn kä ŋomgu.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.

16Aŋ Icaak kiini Abimaliik ogo, “Aŋgä yorü ikoon ti. Ikoon borroon kä teynä.”Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

17Aŋ Icaak aŋgin yore wïca, aŋ attä keeññi yeeke ṭeljene ïñï Ḍääñgon Jaraar jï, aŋ cääjjin ïñï wïca.So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.

18Aŋ Icaak jïïdgä ḍuukke gomme yaaka küüñï me nïïnkä yek wäyen Abrayiim ti ye. Kä yaana cïkene daa mä Palactïïn wääna wäyen tüwnee kä ye. Aŋ äkkene kä yäṇtäŋgenen yaaka äkkene daa kä wäyen ñomuk ye.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.

19Aŋ kiinkä Icaak küññü jïïn Ḍääñgon Jaraar jï, aŋ jïïn waŋe yaana yiiŋä kä piik ŋerkä ye kañi wïca.Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.

20Aŋ kaaydoni yek mä Jaraar äätin aŋ büültïn ke kaaydoni yek Icaak, aŋ jayok ogo, “Piik a yooko!” Aŋ Icaak jïïn äkkene ogo Icik nääŋka iken büültene kä ke ike ye.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.

21Aŋ kaaydoni Icaak ŋuccin küññü jïïn yaŋkalaŋ, aŋ iken ŋuccin büültïn wïca jïïn yaanja ti. Aŋ äkki Icaak ogo Cittina nüütï ogo ätkïtïn.Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

22Ike nänṭä yaanja bäkkene wic aŋ ŋuccin küññü jïïn yaŋkalaŋ wïca, aŋ baati m'ana ŋuca agene kä büültïnï kä ye. Aŋ äkki Icaak ogo Rabuut, aŋ jaajjin ogo, “Pïṭo ikoon iññon nänṭä, aŋ ikoon bi ḍiiron ŋommañ wic.”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.”

23Aŋ Icaak wina daljene ïñï aŋ baŋŋä Bïïrcïba.From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,

24Aŋ wïïrïn jïñe yaanja ti Pïṭo üükïn woo ike ti, aŋ ike kiini ogo, “Ika agä Jooŋ yen wääc Abrayiim. Ŋana ïkï booju, ika ke ïkï, ïkï bi ŋüülkeni aŋ kaaynä yüükü bi naŋä ḍiirä kä waan yen kiingon yeeni Abrayiim.”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.”

25Aŋ Icaak bättä tambal wïca, aŋ Pïṭo maaŋŋe. Aŋ keeñ yeene ṭeljene ïñï wïca, aŋ kiinkä yeeke küñjïn ïñï jïïn wïca.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.

26Aŋ ääŋkalaŋ ti wina yätkä Abimaliik äätin ike ti ke Ahüjaat yaana ike nüütü kä nääŋkä yaaka bilti ye, ke Paykool ḍuuŋgon kääygä yeene ätä Jaraar.Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

27Aŋ tääckiti Icaak ogo, “Ikee äätede ika ti ina? I ina ika putka jï, aŋ ika ñooṭṭa woo yaanna.”“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”

28Aŋ iken luukcin ogo, “Yoorron kä ŋer Pïṭo ke ïkï. Aŋ ikoon jaajjonon ogo yoku lïïttäŋ bilto ti waadgo ti, ke ïkï. Ïkïïn ḍüccïn jiik ḍoocin.“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

29Lïïtä ogo ikoon batta bi näŋgonda nääŋkä yaackä, bata yaana batta agini näŋgïnï kä nääŋkä yaackä ina, a nääŋkä ŋerkä ken näŋkiti kä kamat. Aŋ ïkï tucini woo kä ŋïïbbïn. Aŋ yooru yaana ŋüülkïnï kä Pïṭo ye.”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.”

30Aŋ iken tutki Icaak ammani jon ñamme, aŋ ämmä aŋ mättä.So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31Aŋ kä tïṇṇäŋänä iken murjin ïñï mäŋkalaŋ daa menen lïïtkede, aŋ iici Icaak aŋ iken attä kä ŋïïbbïn.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.

32Aŋ äŋ jïñe yaanja ti kiinkä yek Icaak äätin ike nüütkï kä jïïn yaana küüñï a kïcconḍe ye, aŋ kiini ogo, “Ikoon käññon piik!”On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.

33Aŋ Icaak jïïn äkkene ogo Cïba. Aŋ ke tiññaŋ baan yaanja wäättana battä me ogo Bïïrcïba, aŋ aŋan ogo, “Jïïn Lïïttäŋ.”So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.

34Aŋ Ïïcü wääna yuunge aŋŋene caykä kä ŋan ye, ḍiññä määngä kä yew tïïrïn mä Haat ti, määnge a Yahudïït ṭul Beerï, aŋ Bacamaat ṭul Eylüün.When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35Aŋ a iken ken ääcin jon yiñe Icaak ke Rïpga ti.And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
