Berean Standard Bible
1Abraham dung nathuem ah kaom hmaloe koek khokhahaih oh pacoengah, to prae thungah khokhahaih oh let. To pongah Issak loe Gerar ah kaom Philistin siangpahrang Abimelek khaeah caeh.
1Now 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.
2Issak khaeah Angraeng angphong pae moe, Izip prae ah caeh tathuk hmah; oh han kang thuih ih prae ah om ah;
2The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.
3hae prae thungah om ah, kai mah kang oh thuih moe, tahamhoihaih kang paek han; hae prae boih hae nangmah hoi na caanawk khaeah kang paek moe, nam pa Abraham khaeah ka sak ih lokmaihaih to ka koepsak han.
3Stay 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.
4Na caanawk to van ih cakaeh zetto kang pungsak moe, hae prae hae kang paek boih han; na caanawk rang hoiah long nui ih kaminawk boih tahamhoihaih hnu o tih;
4I 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,
5Abraham loe ka lok to tahngaih, ka thuih ih loknawk, patuk ih loklamnawk hoi daannawk to pazui, tiah a naa.
5because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
6To pongah Issak loe Gerar ah oh;
6So Isaac settled in Gerar.
7to ah kaom kaminawk mah a zu kawng to dueng o naah, anih mah ka zu ni, tiah thuih han zit pongah, Ka tanuh ni, tiah a thuih. To tiah thui ai nahaeloe Rebekah loe kranghoih pongah, hae prae ah kaom kaminawk mah na hum o moeng tih, tiah a poek.
7But 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.”
8To prae thungah atue kasawk ah oh; nito naah loe Philistin siangpahrang Abimelek mah thokbuem hoiah dan tathuk naah, kamhai Issak hoi a zu Rebekah to a hnuk.
8When 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.
9To pongah Abimelek mah Issak to kawk moe, Khenah, anih loe na zu bae to; tipongah anih loe ka tanuh ni, tiah na thuih loe? tiah a naa. Issak mah anih khaeah, to tiah ka thui ai nahaeloe anih pongah ka dueh moeng tih, tiah a naa.
9Abimelech 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.”
10To pacoengah Abimelek mah, Tipongah kaicae khaeah to tiah lok na thuih loe? Kami maeto mah na zu hae iip haih moeng nahaeloe, kaicae nuiah zaehaih nam tik sut han bae to, tiah a naa.
10“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.”
11To pongah Abimelek mah angmah ih kaminawk boih khaeah, Mi kawbaktih doeh hae kami, anih ih zu sui kami loe hum oh, tiah lok paek.
11So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
12Issak loe to prae thungah lawk to sak; Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek moe, saningto thungah cang alet cumvaito hak.
12Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,
13Anih loe to nathuem hoiah angraeng amtong moe, angraeng parai, a tawnh ih hmuennawk doeh pung pae aep aep;
13and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.
14tuunawk, maitawnawk hoi tamna paroeai a tawnh pongah, Philistin kaminawk mah anih to ut o.
14He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
15Ampa Abraham hing na thung a tamnanawk han takaehsak ih tuikhawnawk to Philistinnawk mah pit pae o ving moe, long hoiah taet pae o boih let.
15So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.
16To naah Abimelek mah Issak khaeah, Nang loe kaicae pong thacak boeh pongah, hae ahmuen hoi kalah bangah caeh lai ah, tiah a naa.
16Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”
17To pongah Issak mah to ahmuen to caehtaak moe, Gerar azawn ah khosak.
17So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
18Ampa hing nathuem ah takaeh ih tuikhawnawk, Abraham duek pacoengah Philistinnawk mah pahnawtsak ih tuikhawnawk to Issak mah a tamnanawk han takaehsak let moe, ampa mah sak ih ahmin to sak let.
18Isaac 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.
19Issak ih tamnanawk mah azawn ah tui takaeh o moe, kaciim tuipuek to hnuk o.
19Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.
20Toe Gerar ah maitaw toep kaminawk hoi Issak ih maitaw toep kaminawk loe maeto hoi maeto, Kai ih tui ni, tiah anglomh o. To tiah anglomh o pongah, to ih tuikhaw to Esek, tiah ahmin sak.
20But 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.
21To pacoengah kalah tuikhaw to takaeh let, to tuikhaw doeh anglomh o let bae; to pongah to tuikhaw to Sitnah, tiah ahmin sak.
21Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
22To ahmuen hoi angpuen o moe, kalah tuikhaw maeto takaeh o let; to naah loe mi mah doeh lomh o ai boeh. Vaihi loe Angraeng mah ahmuen paek boeh moe, prae thungah qoeng o tahang tih boeh, tiah a thuih pongah, to tuikhaw to Rehoboth, tiah ahmin sak.
22He 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.”
23Anih loe to ahmuen hoiah Beersheba ah caeh tahang.
23From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,
24To na ni qum ah anih khaeah Angraeng angphong pae, Kai loe nam pa Abraham ih Sithaw ah ka oh; zii hmah, nang hoi nawnto ka oh, ka tamna Abraham rang hoiah tahamhoihaih kang paek moe, na caanawk kang pungsak han, tiah a naa.
24and 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.”
25Issak mah to ahmuen ah hmaicam to sak moe, Angraeng hmin to kawk; to ah kahni im a sak moe, a tamnanawk mah tuikhaw to takaeh o.
25So 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.
26To naah Abimelek loe angmah ih ampui Ahuzzath hoi misatuh angraeng Phikol to hoih moe, Gerar vangpui hoiah Issak ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh o.
26Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
27Issak mah nihcae khaeah, Kai nang hnukma o moe, nang haek o boeh na ai maw, tikhoe nang zoh o let loe? tiah a naa.
27“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”
28Nihcae mah, Angraeng loe nang hoi nawnto oh, tito kahoih ah ka panoek o boeh; to pongah, aicae salakah lokmaihaih to om nasoe, kaicae hoi nang salak lokmaihaih to om nasoe, tiah ka thuih o; kaicae hoi nang salakah angdaehhaih sah si;
28“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
29kaicae mah na nuiah kahoih hmuen khue ai ah loe, sethaih tidoeh ka sah o ai, nang to lunghoih ta ah ni kang patoeh o; to pongah nangmah doeh kaicae sethaih to sah hmah; nang loe Angraeng mah vaihi tahamhoihaih paek boeh, tiah a naa.
29that 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.”
30To pacoengah Issak mah nihcae hanah buh raenghaih to sak pae, nihcae loe caak o moe naek o.
30So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31Khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, maeto hoi maeto lokmaihaih to sak o; to pacoengah Issak mah nihcae to patoeh; nihcae loe lunghoih ta hoiah caeh o.
31And 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.
32To na niah Issak ih tamnanawk to angzoh o moe, tuikhaw takaehhaih kawng to thuih pae o, anih khaeah, Tui to ka hnuk o boeh, tiah a naa o.
32On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.
33Anih mah to tui to Shebah, tiah ahmin sak; to pongah to vangpui ih ahmin loe vaihni ni khoek to Beersheba, tiah kawk o.
33So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.
34Esau loe saning qui palito oh naah, Hit kami Beeri canu, Judith hoi Hit kami Elon canu, Bashemath to zu ah lak;
34When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35nihnik loe Issak hoi Rebekah dawnrai paekkung ah oh hoi.
35And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
