Genesis 26 (LGA)

1Ego sa raja sa kai songe pa ia qai suveria ko i Aisake sa lao pa Qera tai Abimeleki na bangara tadira na tinoni Pilisitia. (Na songe api sa sa goto pana songe sa raja perangana pa totoso tai Ebarahami).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.

2Ego sa votu tai Aisake si Iahova ko pira sau, <<Munake gore pa Ijipi sao goto muna suvere gu pa ia ketakoi mana ule vanigo ara.The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.

3Ko mu suvere vei mai kai tinoni karovona pa ia api ko ara mana vavaburogo beto mana mananigo. Ura tamu beto tadira na tutimu ao mana vanigou sa doruna na ia aipira beto sa mana vatoqo mauria sa na maulu qa maulunia ara tana tamamu i Ebarahami.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.

4Mana vasoku jola veinia na seru ara pa oka sira na tutimu ao beto mana vaniria na tutimu ao sa doruna na ia aipira, beto ko mai tamanadia tadira na tutimu ao sira doru gogoto tinoni pa abana,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,

5ura i Ebarahami sa nongoria sa na ovovelequ ara ko sa kopunia na qua paranga, na garunu, na qua vinaturu beto na qua vavanau,>> saunia.because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

6Ko sa suvere pa Qera si Aisake.So Isaac settled in Gerar.

7Totonai qai nanasania ira na tinoni pa gusu isa sa veveina na maqotana sa, pira sau, <<Koi! Na luluqu sina,>> sauniria ura sa matagutu pojai isa sa na maqotaqu sapi minagu. Sa rorove, <<kita ko ira na tinoni pa gusu api sa mai vaitalenisiu ara si Ribeka ura na rereko babata jonga sisa,>> sau.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.”

8Totonai qai tei suvere sovai tu ketakoi sa, sa tiro gore pa vuida sau si Abimeleki na bangara pa Pilisitia, poni sa batia sa, api sa, i Aisake sa korapa boru koti vaavavua si Ribeka na maqotana.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.

9Poni sa kuku tekua i Abimeleki si Aisake ko pira saunia, Qokolo! Na maqotamu sosoto gu ao sina. Ai sa vei sa qu paranga, <<Na lulumu qugunia ao?>> sau. Poni pira sau si Aisake, <<Ura kita ko ma mate talenia qau ke,>> sau sisa.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.”

10Poni pira sau si Abimeleki, <<Na sa qu roitinia tamigei sao? Iapeki tu bi kole tavitia kame ira na tinoni sa na maqotamu ao ina ko bu vagosoronigei na tapata sagei,>> saunia.“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.”

11Ko sa paranga vabalauria i Abimeleki sira doru tinoni, pira sau, <<Na tinoni mina kotia na tinoni api babi na maqotana sa mina isongo mate sosoto tugu,>> sauniria.So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

12I Aisake sa umuma sa pa ia isa beto ko pa aoro tugu isa sa sa paduku boboko gogoto sa na vuadi nona umuma ura i Iahova sa manania sisa.Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

13Ko kai tinoni isisongo sisa, ko nona isisongo sa sa kovuru tu lalaona ko tinganai sa isisongo jola vivitigi sisa.and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

14Sa isongoria soku gogodo sipi, na godo bulumakau beto na soku tinoni roiti ko ira na tinoni Pilisitia tu ba qai konoa.He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

15Ko doru oqili pie takorina qai koriria ira na tinoni roiti tana tamana pa totoso tai Ebarahami na tamana, sa qai suquturia ira tinoni Pilisitia beto qai vapugeleniria na peso.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.

16Beto sa pira saunia i Abimeleki si Aisake, <<Mu rijo votu riu tamigei sao ura kopira qu neqi jolanigei agei,>> saunia.Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

17Ko sa taloa ketakoi si Aisake ko sa vaturu ona aqaqo pa lolomo pa Qera ko sa suvere ketakoi.So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.

18Beto sa mule si Aisake ko sa kori sogaria sira na oqili pie takoridi pa totoso tai Ebarahami na tamana, ira qai vapugeleniria na peso ira tinoni Pilisitia pa liguna sa mate i Ebarahami, beto ko sa vani sogaria na isongo qi vaisongoniria na tamana.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.

19Ego ira na nabulu tai Aisake sa qai kori pa lolomo ko qai batia ketakoi sa kai vuvugu pie toana.Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.

20Ba ira na tinoni kopu bulumakau tadira pa Qera qai guaria sira na tinoni kopu bulumakau tai Aisake, pira qarigu, <<Na mei agei sa na pie,>> qariguniria. Ko sa vaisongonia i Aisake Eseki sa na oqili pie isa ura qai toke talenia isa.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.

21Poni qai koria mutu sa kai oqili pie ba qai gua taleniria mutu ko sa vaisongonia Sitina isa sisa.Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

22Ko sa taloa ketakoi ko sa rijo lao mutugu kai ia beto ko sa koria mutugu sa kai oqili pie ba kopira sa kepotu sa kai tinoni vei bi gua taleniria Ko sa vaisongonia Rehoboti sisa, pira sau, <<Kopira sa i Iahova sa vanigita kai ia kaberena ko tana vua vatale sa gita pa ia lani,>> sau sisa.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.”

23Beto koko ketakoi sa sae pa Biaseba sisa.From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,

24Ego na bongina isa sa votu tana si Iahova beto sa pira sau, Ara sa na Tamasa tai Ebarahami na tamamu. Ko muke matagutu, ura kode mana vavaburogo. Mana mananigo beto mana vasokua ara sira na tutimu ao pa laena i Ebarahami na qua nabulu, saunia.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.”

25Ego sa roitinia i Aisake ketakoi sa kai ia vavakukuvuna beto ko sa kuku vatarasaea isa sa na isongona i Iahova. Beto ketakoi tugu sa vaturua isa sa nona aqaqo beto qai koria tugu ketakoi ira na nabulu tai Aisake kai oqili pie.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.

26Totonai sa I Abimeleki sa qi lame tana koko pa Qera, tavitia i Ahuzati nona tinoni totoli beto i Pikolo na kuta tadira na tinoni vaipera tana.Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

27Poni sa pira sauniria i Aisake, <<Ai sa vei ko qu lame tu taqu, ura qu kanasiu ara sagou beto qu iju variusiu?>> sauniria.“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”

28Poni pira qarigu sira, <<Qe bati vakakaberiamei agei sa i Iahova sa suvere tavitigo sao ko pira qeu, Agei me vatoqoa tu kai vaivaego tamauluna pa vaikorapaida gita- agei beto ao. Ko me roitinia kai vaivaego lao tamu“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

29ko ao munake komitigei agei vaitoto vei tugu agei qeke komitigo ao beto vaitoto vei tugu agei qe roitinia na jongana gu lao tamu ko qe garunu variugo pa bule. Beto ko kopira i Iahova sa mananigo sao,>> qarigunia.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.”

30Beto poni sa roiti vaniria na vavolo i Aisake sira ko qai teteku beto qai buku.So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31Qai turu na vuvugei jonga ko qai mekarai maulu tarinia sa na vaivaego qai roitinia beto ko i Aisake sa loa variuria sira ko ira qai taloa riu pana bule.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.

32Pa rane isa sa ira na nabulu tai Aisake sa qai kamu ko qai vavakato vania sa veveina na oqili pie qai koria. Pira qarigu, <<Qe batia sana pie,>> qarigunia.On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.

33Ko sa vaisongonia i Aisake Siba sa na oqili pie isa, beto kamua tu pa rane pa ngeni alepi sa na isongona na gugusu ikete sa pa Biaseba tugu.So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.

34Totonai sa kamua ka made ngavuluputa aorona si Isoa sa tekua sa na maqotana i Jiuditi na tuna rereko i Beri na tinoni Hitai beto sa tekua tugu vei si Basemati na tuna rereko i Eloni na tinoni Hitai.When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35Ira karu rereko pira sa na kuta takulanga tadira Aisake i Ribeka.And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
