Genesis 26 (YOR)

1Ìyàn kan sì mú ní ilẹ̀ náà, yàtọ̀ fún èyí tí ó mú ní ìgbà ayé Abrahamu, Isaaki sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Abimeleki ọba àwọn Filistini ni Gerari.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.

2Olúwa sì fi ara han Isaaki, ó sì wí pé, “Má ṣe sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti, jókòó ní ilẹ̀ tí èmi ó fún ọ.The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.

3Máa ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ yìí fún ìgbà díẹ̀, èmi ó sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi yóò sì bùkún fún ọ.

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.

4Èmi yóò sọ ìran rẹ di púpọ̀ bí ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run, èmi yóò sì fi gbogbo ilẹ̀ yìí fún irú àwọn ọmọ rẹ, àti nípasẹ̀ irú-ọmọ rẹ ni a ó bùkún fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé,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,

5nítorí tí Abrahamu gba ohùn mi gbọ́, ó sì pa gbogbo ìkìlọ̀, àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin mi mọ́.”because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

6Nítorí náà Isaaki jókòó ní Gerari.So Isaac settled in Gerar.

7Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà bi í léèrè ní ti aya rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Arábìnrin mi ní í ṣe,” nítorí tí ó bẹ̀rù láti jẹ́wọ́ wí pé, “Aya mi ni.” Ó ń rò wí pé, “Kí àwọn ọkùnrin ibẹ̀ náà má ba à pa mí nítorí Rebeka, nítorí tí òun ní ẹwà púpọ̀.”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.”

8Nígbà tí Isaaki sì ti wà níbẹ̀ fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọjọ́, Abimeleki ọba Filistini yọjú lójú fèrèsé, ó sì rí Isaaki ń bá Rebeka aya rẹ̀ tage.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.

9Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki ránṣẹ́ pe Isaaki ó sì wí fun pé, “Nítòótọ́, aya rẹ ni obìnrin yìí í ṣe, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi wí fún wa pé arábìnrin mi ni?” Isaaki sì fèsì pé, “Nítorí mo rò pé mo le pàdánù ẹ̀mí mi nítorí rẹ̀.”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.”

10Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki dáhùn pé, “Èwo ni èyí tí ìwọ ṣe sí wa yìí? Bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí bá ti bá a lòpọ̀ ń kọ́? Ìwọ ìbá wá mú ẹ̀bi wá sórí wa.”“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.”

11Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki pàṣẹ fún gbogbo ènìyàn pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fọwọ́ kan ọkùnrin yìí tàbí aya rẹ̀ yóò jẹ̀bi ikú.”So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

12Ní ọdún náà, Isaaki gbin ohun ọ̀gbìn sí ilẹ̀ náà, ó sì kórè rẹ̀ ní ìlọ́po ọgọ́rùn-ún ọdún ni ọdún kan náà, nítorí Olúwa bùkún un.Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

13Ọkùnrin náà sì di ọlọ́rọ̀ púpọ̀, ọrọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń pọ̀ si, títí ó fi di ènìyàn ńlá.and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

14Ó ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹran ọ̀sìn àti agbo ẹran àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn Filistini ń ṣe ìlara rẹ̀.He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

15Nítorí náà àwọn ará Filistini ru erùpẹ̀ di gbogbo kànga tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Abrahamu baba rẹ̀ ti gbẹ́.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.

16Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki wí fún Isaaki pé, “Jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ wa, nítorí tí ìwọ ti di alágbára púpọ̀ jù wá lọ.”Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

17Isaaki sì ṣí kúrò níbẹ̀, ó sì pàgọ́ sí àfonífojì Gerari ó sì ń gbé ibẹ̀.So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.

18Isaaki sì ṣe àtúngbẹ́ àwọn kànga tí Abrahamu baba rẹ̀ ti gbẹ́ nígbà ayé rẹ̀, èyí tí àwọn Filistini ti dí lẹ́yìn ikú Abrahamu baba rẹ̀, ó sì fún wọn lórúkọ tí baba rẹ̀ ti sọ wọ́n tẹ́lẹ̀.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.

19Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Isaaki sì gbẹ́ kànga ní àfonífojì náà, wọ́n kan ìsun omi níbẹ̀.Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.

20Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn darandaran Gerari ń bá àwọn darandaran Isaaki jà sí kànga náà pé àwọn ni àwọn ni í. Nítorí náà ni ó fi pe orúkọ kànga náà ní Eseki, nítorí pé wọ́n bá a jà sí kànga náà.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.

21Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Isaaki tún gbẹ́ kànga mìíràn, wọ́n sì tún jà nítorí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Sitna.Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

22Ó sì tún kúrò níbẹ̀, ó sì gbẹ́ kànga mìíràn, wọn kò sì jásí èyí rárá, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Rehoboti, ó wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí, Olúwa ti fi ààyè gbà wá, a ó sì gbilẹ̀ si ní ilẹ̀ náà.”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.”

23Láti ibẹ̀, ó kúrò lọ sí Beerṣeba.From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,

24Ní òru ọjọ́ tí ó dé ibẹ̀, Olúwa sì fi ara hàn án, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ni Ọlọ́run Abrahamu baba rẹ. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù nítorí èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi yóò sì bùsi fún ọ, èmi yóò sì sọ iye ìran rẹ di púpọ̀, nítorí Abrahamu ìránṣẹ́ mi.”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.”

25Isaaki sì kọ́ pẹpẹ kan síbẹ̀, ó sì pe orúkọ Olúwa. Níbẹ̀ ni ó pàgọ́ rẹ̀ sí, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ sì gbẹ́ kànga kan níbẹ̀.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.

26Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti Gerari, àti Ahussati, olùdámọ̀ràn rẹ̀ àti Fikoli, olórí ogun rẹ̀.Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

27Isaaki sì bi wọ́n léèrè pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin tọ̀ mí wá, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ẹ̀yin kórìíra mi tí ẹ sì lé mi jáde kúrò lọ́dọ̀ yín?”“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”

28Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “A rí i dájú pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, nítorí náà ni a fi rò ó wí pé, ó yẹ kí májẹ̀mú kí o wà láàrín àwa àti ìwọ. Jẹ́ kí a ṣe àdéhùn“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

And now you are blessed by the LORD.”

30Isaaki sì ṣe àsè fún wọn, wọn sì jẹ, wọ́n sì mu.So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì wọn búra fún ara wọn. Isaaki sì rán wọn lọ, wọ́n sì lọ ní àlàáfíà.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.

32Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Isaaki wá sọ fún un pé àwọn ti kan omi ní kànga kan tí àwọn gbẹ́.On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.

33Ó sì pe orúkọ kànga náà ní Ṣiba, títí di òní olónìí, orúkọ ìlú náà ni Beerṣeba.So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.

34Nígbà tí Esau pé ọmọ ogójì ọdún ó fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin kan tí a ń pè ní Juditi, ọmọ Beeri, ará Hiti, ó sì tún fẹ́ Basemati, ọmọ Eloni ará Hiti.When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35Fífẹ́ tí a fẹ́ àwọn obìnrin wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ìbànújẹ́ fún Isaaki àti Rebeka.And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
