Gênesis 26

1 There was a famine in the land, in addition to the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar. 2 Yahweh appeared to him, and said, "Don’t go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about. 3 Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. 4 I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, 5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."

6 Isaac lived in Gerar. 7 The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife", lest, he thought, "the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at." 8 When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife. 9 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?"

Isaac said to him, "Because I said, ‘Lest I die because of her.’"

10 Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!"

11 Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."

12 Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him. 13 The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great. 14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him. 15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth. 16 Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we."

17 Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.

18 Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them. 19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing*26:19 Or, living. Or, fresh. water. 20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." So he called the name of the well Esek,*26:20 "Esek" means "contention". because they contended with him. 21 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. So he called its name Sitnah.*26:21 "Sitnah" means "hostility". 22 He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. So he called it Rehoboth.*26:22 "Rehoboth" means "broad places". He said, "For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."

23 He went up from there to Beersheba. 24 Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake."

25 He built an altar there, and called on Yahweh’s name, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac’s servants dug a well.

26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army. 27 Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"

28 They said, "We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let’s make a covenant with you, 29 that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.’ You are now the blessed of Yahweh."

30 He made them a feast, and they ate and drank. 31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to one another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. 32 The same day, Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water." 33 He called it "Shibah".*26:33 Shibah means "oath" or "seven". Therefore the name of the city is "Beersheba"*26:33 Beersheba means "well of the oath" or "well of the seven" to this day.

34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite. 35 They grieved Isaac’s and Rebekah’s spirits.

Te Tinihanga a Apīmereke e Īhaka

1 Nā, ka matekai te whenua, hāunga te matekai tuatahi i puta mai i ngā rā o Āperahama. Ā, ka haere a Īhaka ki a Apīmereke, kīngi o ngā Pirihitini, ki Kerara. 2 Nā, ka puta mai a Ihowā ki a ia, ka mea, "Kaua e haere ki raro, ki Īhipa; e noho ki te whenua e kōrero ai ahau ki a koe. 3 E noho i tēnei whenua, ā, ka tata ahau ki a koe, ka manaaki hoki i a koe; ka hoatu nei hoki e ahau ēnei whenua katoa ki a koutou ko ōu uri, ā, ka whakapūmautia te oati i oati ai ahau ki a Āperahama, ki tōu pāpā. 4 Ā, ka whakanuia e ahau ōu uri kia pērā me ngā whetū o te rangi, ka hoatu hoki e ahau ēnei whenua katoa ki ōu uri; ā, mā tōu uri ka manaakitia ai ngā iwi katoa o te whenua; 5 nō te mea i rongo a Āperahama ki tōku reo, i mau ki āku ako, ki āku whakahau, ki āku tikanga, ki āku ture."

6 Nā, ka noho a Īhaka i Kerara. 7 Ā, ka ui ngā tāngata o taua wāhi ki tāna wahine, ā, ka mea ia, "Ko tōku tuahine ia," i wehi hoki ia, te mea ai, "Ko tāku wahine," i mea hoki, "Kei patua ahau e ngā tāngata o tēnei wāhi mō Ripeka, he ātaahua hoki ia ki te titiro atu."

8 Ā, ka maha ōna rā ki reira, ka titiro atu a Apīmereke, kīngi o ngā Pirihitini, i te matapihi, ā, ka kite, nā, ko Īhaka e tākaro ana ki a Ripeka, ki tāna wahine. 9 Nā, ka karangatia e Apīmereke a Īhaka, ka mea atu, "Koia anō, ko tāu wahine tonu ia. Nā te aha koe i mea ai, ‘Ko tāku tuahine ia’?"

Ka mea a Īhaka ki a ia, "I mea hoki ahau, Kei mate ahau mōna."

10 Nā, ka mea a Apīmereke, "He aha tēnei mahi āu ki a mātou? Wāhi iti kua takoto tētahi o te iwi nei ki tāu wahine, ā, kua tākina mai e koe he hara ki runga ki a mātou."

11 Nā, ka whakatūpato a Apīmereke ki tōna iwi katoa, ka mea, "Ko te tangata e pā ki tēnei tangata, ki tāna wahine rānei, he pono ka mate ia."

12 Ā, i rui a Īhaka ki taua whenua, ā, maea ake i taua tau anō kotahi rau. I manaakitia hoki ia e Ihowā, 13 nā, ka kake taua tangata, ka tino nui haere, nō ka nui noa ake ia. 14 Ā, ka whiwhi ia i ngā kāhui hipi, i ngā kāhui kau, i te tini o te pononga, ā, ka hae ngā Pirihitini ki a ia. 15 Nā, ko ngā poka katoa i keria e ngā pononga a tōna pāpā i ngā rā o Āperahama, o tōna pāpā, i tanumia ērā e ngā Pirihitini, i whakakīia hoki ki te oneone.

16 Nā, ka mea a Apīmereke ki a Īhaka, "Haere atu i roto i a mātou; he kaha rawa hoki koe i a mātou."

17 Nā, haere atu ana a Īhaka i reira, ā, whakatūria ana tōna puni ki te awaawa o Kerara, ā, noho ana i reira. 18 Nā, ka keria anō e Īhaka ngā poka wai i keria rā i ngā rā o Āperahama, o tōna pāpā; i tanumia hoki e ngā Pirihitini i muri i te matenga o Āperahama. Ā, huaina ana e ia hei ingoa mō aua poka ko ngā ingoa i huaina iho e tōna pāpā.

19 Nā, ka keri ngā pononga a Īhaka ki te awaawa, ā, ka kitea e rātou i reira he puna manawa-whenua. 20 Nā, ka tautohe ngā hēpara o Kerara ki ngā hēpara a Īhaka, ka mea, "Nā mātou tēnei wai." Ā, huaina ana e ia te ingoa o te poka ko Ēheke; mō rātou hoki i whakatetete ki a ia. 21 Nā, ka keri rātou i tētahi atu poka, ka tautohetia anō tērā e rātou; ā, huaina iho e ia tōna ingoa ko Hitina. 22 Nā, ka neke atu ia i reira, ā, ka keri i tētahi atu poka. Kīhai tērā i tautohetia e rātou; nā, ka huaina e ia tōna ingoa ko Rehopoto; i mea hoki ia, "Kātahi nei hoki a Ihowā ka whakawātea i tētahi nohoanga mō tātou, ā, ka hua tātou ki runga ki te whenua."

23 Nā, ka haere atu ia i reira ki runga, ki Peerehepa. 24 Ā, ka puta mai a Ihowā ki a ia i taua pō anō, ka mea, "Ko ahau te Atua o Āperahama, o tōu pāpā. Kaua e wehi, kei a koe nei hoki ahau, ā, ka manaaki ahau i a koe, ka whakanui hoki i ōu uri, he whakaaro ki a Āperahama, ki tāku pononga."

25 Nā, ka hangā e ia he āta ki reira, ā, ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowā, ā, whakatūria ana hoki e ia tōna tēneti ki reira. Ā, ka keria tētahi poka ki reira e ngā pononga a Īhaka.

26 Nā, ka haere mai a Apīmereke i Kerara ki a ia, rātou ko Ahutata ko tētahi o ōna hoa, ko Pikora hoki, ko te rangatira o tāna ope. 27 Ā, ka mea a Īhaka ki a rātou, "I haere mai koutou ki ahau ki te aha, inā hoki kua kino koutou ki ahau, kua pei hoki i ahau i roto i a koutou?"

28 Ā, ka mea rātou, "I kite mārama mātou, kei a koe a Ihowā; koia mātou i mea ai, ‘Kia takoto āianei he oati ki waenganui i a tātou, ki waenganui o mātou,’ ōu, kia whakarite kawenata hoki mātou ki a koe; 29 kia kaua koe e tūkino i a mātou, kia pēnei me mātou kīhai nei i pā ki a koe, kīhai hoki i aha ki a koe, heoi ko te pai anake, i āta tuku anō i a koe. Ināianei ko koe te manaakitanga a Ihowā."

30 Nā, ka tukua e ia he hākari mā rātou, ā, ka kai rātou, ka inu. 31 Nā, ka maranga wawe rātou i te ata, ka oati rātou tētahi ki tētahi; ā, tukua ana rātou e Īhaka kia haere, ā, hoki mārie atu ana rātou i a ia.

32 Ā, i taua rangi anō ka haere mai ngā pononga a Īhaka, ka kōrero ki a ia i te poka i keria e rātou, ā, ka mea ki a ia, "Kua kitea e mātou he wai." 33 Ā, huaina iho e ia taua poka ko Hepaha. Nō konā te ingoa o tēnā pā, o Peerehepa, ā mohoa noa nei.

Ngā Wāhine Tauiwi a Ēhau

34 Ā, ka whā tekau ngā tau o Ēhau, ka tango ia i a Iuriti tamāhine a Peeri Hiti, hei wahine māna, rāua ko Pahemata tamāhine a Erona Hiti; 35 ā, ka waiho rāua hei mea pōuri ki ngā ngākau o Īhaka, rāua ko Ripeka.
