Genesis 26 (RHG)

1Ibrahimor ṭaimot ṛat oilde he foilawa bade ar ugguwa raṭ oiye. Toi Isak Gerarot Filistini okkolor badša Abimelekor hãse giye.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.

2Mabude Isakore deha diye edde hodde, "Tui entu Mišorot lami no zaisgoi, ãi tore ze zagar babute hoiyum tui he zagat bošoti gor.The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.

3Tui hotokkalolla ei zagat tak, edde ãi tor fũwati takiyore tore rahamot goriyum, kiyollahoile ãi tore edde tor bongšore ei zaga okkol diyum, edde tor baf Ibrahimor hãse ze hosom háiyi hiyan ãi furon goijjium.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.

4Ãi tor bongšore asmanor tara zedun hedun goriyum edde ei zaga okkol hitarare diyum, ar tor bongšor duwara duniyair hár zatiye duwa faibo,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,

5kiyollahoile Ibrahime ãr hota fuinne edde ãr hár dabi, ãr hokum okkol, ãr ain edde kanon okkol falon goijje."because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

6Toi Isak Gerarot taigiyegoi.So Isaac settled in Gerar.

7Ar he zagar mainše hibar bouwore boute fusar goijje, hibaye hodde, "Hiba ãr boin." Hibaye "Hiba ãr bou" hoite ḍoraiye, kiyollahoile hibaye ḍoraiye ze "Rebekkalla boli hitara hibare mari felaibo, kiyollahoile hiba beši šundor."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.”

8Isake bout hal heṛe bošobaš gori bade, Filistini badša Abimaleke zanala bai dekedde, Isake hibar nizor bou Rebekah loi šuhag gorer.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.

9Toi Abimaleke Isakore ḍaikke edde hodde, "Sa, hiba hameka tor bou! Tui kengori hiba 'Ãr boin' hoi faijjos?" Isake hitare zuwabe hodde, "Kiyollahoile ãi mone goijjilam ãi hiballa boli foran haraiyum."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.”

10Abimaleke hodde, "Tui ãrar loi endilla kiyolla goijjos? Ze hono mainše to tor bou loi gum zai farito, ar tui ãrare hosurbon banaifelaiti."“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.”

11Toi Abimaleke hár manuš okkolore endilla hoi hokum zari goijje: "Ze honokiye ei manušwar berudde otóba hitar bouwor berudde za, hitare hameka marifela oibo."So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

12Isake he dešot saš goijje edde he bosor hinot ek šot gun fošol faiye. Mabude hibare rahamot goijje.Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

13Toi hiba ḍor owa šuru goijje, ar ekattu ekka bariuṛat takiyore beši ḍõr manuš boinne.and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

14Ar hibattu goru sool edde beša beši gulam okkol oiye, ar Filistini okkole hibar loi riš goijje.He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

15Henot hibar baf Ibrahim zinda taite hibar gulam okkole kujjilde hár kuwa okkolore Filistini okkole meṛi felaiyore búzaifeliye.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.

16Bade Abimaleke Isakore hodde, "Tui ãrar hentu zagoi, kiyollahoile tui ãrattuwaro beši šoktiwala oiyos."Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

17Toi Isak hentu giyegoi edde Geraror ḍeilot zai ṭambu gãijje edde heṛe taikke.So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.

18Toi hibar baf Ibrahim zinda taite kujjilde kuwa hinore Isake abar kuijje, zinore Ibrahim mori bade Filistini okkole búzaifelail, ar bafe hinore ze nam okkol dil hibaye hinore he ekkui nam okkol diye.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.

19Isakor gulam okkole ḍeilot kuriyore heṛe ugguwa fanir nal faiye.Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.

20Kintu Geraror soolsoroya okkole Isakor soolsoroya okkol loi hoijja diye edde hodde, "Ei fani ãrar!" hetolla Isake he kuwar nam diye Ešek, kiyollahoile hitara hibar loi hoijja goijjil.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.

21Bade hitara ar uggwa kuwa kuijje, kintu hiba loi o hitara hoijja goijje; hetolla hibaye hibar nam diye Sitnah.Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

22Toi hiba hentu giyegoi edde ar uggwa kuwa kuijje, ar hiballa hitara hoijja no gore, ar hibaye hibar nam diye Rehobot edde hodde, "Šeš foijjonto Mabude ãrare farot zaga diye, ar ãra ei zagat fólwala oi faijjum."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.”

23Ar hentu hiba Beer-Šebat giye.From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,

24He raitta Mabude hibare deha diyore hodde, "Ãi tor baf Ibrahimor Allah, tũi no ḍorais; ãi tor fũwati asi, ãi tore rahamot goriyum; ar Ibrahimor hatire ãi tor bongšore baraidiyum."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.”

25Toi Isake heṛe ekkan kurbangah tiyar goijje edde Mabudor nam ḍaikke. Heṛe hibaye hibar ṭambu o maijje, edde hibar gulam okkole heṛe uggwa kuwa kuijje.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.

26Bade Abimaleke hitar dusto Ahussat edde hitar foila šenafoti Fikolore loi Gerarottu Isakor hãse aišše.Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

27Isake hitarare hodde, "Tũwara ãr hãse kiyolla aiššo, tũwara to hingša gori ãre hentu dũrai dila?"“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”

28Hitara hodde, "Ãra foriškar gori dekir ze Mabud tor fũwati ase; hetolla ãra baffilam ze 'tui edde ãrar maze uggwa wada sukti takon zoruri.' Aio, ãra tor loi hosom hái,“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

29ãra zendilla šude tor balai bade hono hoti no gori edde tore šanti gori bidai dilam, hendilla tui o ãrar hono hoti no goribi. Ar ehon tore Mabude rahamot goijje."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.”

30Toi Isake hitaralla hánar entezam goijje, edde hitara há fiye goijje.So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31Tarfordin binna sore uṛi ekzon loi ekzone hosom háiye. Bade Isake hitarare bidai diye, ar hitara šanti gori hentu baisa diye.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.

32He din Isakor gulam okkol aiyore hitarar kuijja uggwa kuwar babute Isakore hoiye. Hitara hodde, "Ãra fani faiyi!"On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.

33Hibaye hibare nam diye Šeba. Hetolla he šohoror nam aijo foijjonto Beer-Šeba.So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.

34Ar Išor boyoš sališ bosor oiyede šomot, Hetittiyo Beerir zi Yudit, edde Hetittiyo Elonor zi Bašmathore o, biya goijje.When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35Ar hitara Isak edde Rebekar zibonore tita gori tuillil.And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
