Genesis 26
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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.
1And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines to Gerara.
2Issak khaeah Angraeng angphong pae moe, Izip prae ah caeh tathuk hmah; oh han kang thuih ih prae ah om ah;
2And the Lord appeared to him and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.
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.
3And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.
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;
4And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
5Abraham loe ka lok to tahngaih, ka thuih ih loknawk, patuk ih loklamnawk hoi daannawk to pazui, tiah a naa.
5Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.
6To pongah Issak loe Gerar ah oh;
6So Isaac abode in Gerara.
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.
7And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty.
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.
8And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca his wife.
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.
9And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.
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.
10And Abimelech said: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying:
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.
11He that shall touch this man’s wife, shall surely be put to death.
12Issak loe to prae thungah lawk to sak; Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek moe, saningto thungah cang alet cumvaito hak.
12And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year 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 the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great:
14tuunawk, maitawnawk hoi tamna paroeai a tawnh pongah, Philistin kaminawk mah anih to ut o.
14And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying 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.
15Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:
16To naah Abimelek mah Issak khaeah, Nang loe kaicae pong thacak boeh pongah, hae ahmuen hoi kalah bangah caeh lai ah, tiah a naa.
16Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
17To pongah Issak mah to ahmuen to caehtaak moe, Gerar azawn ah khosak.
17So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell 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.
18And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called them.
19Issak ih tamnanawk mah azawn ah tui takaeh o moe, kaciim tuipuek to hnuk o.
19And they digged in the torrent, and found living water.
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 there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.
21To pacoengah kalah tuikhaw to takaeh let, to tuikhaw doeh anglomh o let bae; to pongah to tuikhaw to Sitnah, tiah ahmin sak.
21And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.
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.
22Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.
23Anih loe to ahmuen hoiah Beersheba ah caeh tahang.
23And he went up from that place to Bersabee,
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.
24Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
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.
25And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded his servants to dig a well.
26To naah Abimelek loe angmah ih ampui Ahuzzath hoi misatuh angraeng Phikol to hoih moe, Gerar vangpui hoiah Issak ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh o.
26To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,
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.
27Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you?
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;
28And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,
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 thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing of the Lord.
30To pacoengah Issak mah nihcae hanah buh raenghaih to sak pae, nihcae loe caak o moe naek o.
30And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:
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.
31Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.
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.
32And behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water.
33Anih mah to tui to Shebah, tiah ahmin sak; to pongah to vangpui ih ahmin loe vaihni ni khoek to Beersheba, tiah kawk o.
33Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day.
34Esau loe saning qui palito oh naah, Hit kami Beeri canu, Judith hoi Hit kami Elon canu, Bashemath to zu ah lak;
34And Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon of the same place.
35nihnik loe Issak hoi Rebekah dawnrai paekkung ah oh hoi.
35And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.
