Ukutendeka

26 Nomba mu calo mwaponene icipowe na cimbi, icakonkele pa cipowe ca ntanshi icaponene mu nshiku sha kwa Abrahamu,+ ne ci calengele ukuti Isaki aye kuli Abimeleke imfumu ya baPelishiti, ku Gerari. 2 Lyena Yehova amoneke kuli ena no kumweba ati: “Wiya ku Egupti. Wikale mu calo ico ndekweba ukwikalamo. 3 Ube umulebeshi mu calo ici,+ kabili nakulaba na iwe kabili nakulakupaala, pantu nkapeela iwe na bana* bobe ifyalo ifi fyonse,+ kabili nkafisha umulapo uo nalapile kuli wiso Abrahamu:+ 4 ‘Nkafusha abakatuntuka mu mwana* obe nge ntanda sha mu muulu+ no kubapeela ifi ifyalo fyonse;+ kabili mu mwana* obe e mo inko shonse isha pe sonde shikapaalilwa,’+ 5 pantu Abrahamu aleng’umfwila kabili alecita ifyo mfwaya, alekonka amafunde yandi, ifipope fyandi, na malango yandi.”+ 6 E ico Isaki atwalilile ukwikala mu Gerari.+

7 Ilyo abantu ba muli ilya ncende balemwipusha pa mukashi wakwe, aleti: “Ni nkashi yandi.”+ Aletiina ukusosa ati “Mukashi wandi,” pantu aleti, “Abantu ba muli iyi incende kuti banjipaila pali Rebeka,” pantu ali uwayemba.+ 8 Awe ilyo aikele inshiku ishingi kulya, Abimeleke imfumu ya baPelishiti alelolesha pe windo, kabili amwene Isaki alelanga umukashi wakwe Rebeka icitemwiko.*+ 9 Apo pene Abimeleke aitile Isaki no kutila: “Cine cine, uyu mukashi obe! Cinshi walandiile ukuti, ‘Ni nkashi yandi’?” Na o Isaki atile: “Ni co naletiina ukutila abantu kuti banjipailapo.”+ 10 Lelo Abimeleke akonkenyepo ati: “Cinshi watucitila ifi?+ Kwempe fye umo uwa mu bantu aba nga alileele no mukashi obe, kabili nga walituletelela!”+ 11 Lyena Abimeleke aebele abantu bonse, ati: “Onse uwaikata muli uyu muntu no mukashi wakwe ukwipaiwa akepaiwa!”

12 Kabili Isaki atandile imbuto mu calo cilya, kabili muli ulya mwaka asombwele imiseke 100 pa museke umo uwa mbuto, pantu Yehova alemupaala.+ 13 Aishileba umukankaala kabili aile alenonkelako fye ifyuma mpaka aba umukankaala nga nshi. 14 Aishilekwata impaanga ne ng’ombe na babomfi abengi,+ kabili abaPelishiti batampile ukumufimbila.

15 E ico abaPelishiti bashiikile ifishima fyonse ifyo ababomfi ba kwa wishi baimbile mu nshiku sha kwa Abrahamu.+ 16 E lyo Abimeleke aebele Isaki ati: “Fuma mu ncende yesu, pantu naukosa sana ukutucila.” 17 E ico Isaki afumine mulya no kuyapanga inkambi mu mupokapoka wa Gerari,+ atendeka no kwikala mulya mwine. 18 Kabili Isaki afukulwile ifishima ifyo baimbile mu nshiku sha kwa Abrahamu wishi, lelo ifyo abaPelishiti bashiikile pa numa ya mfwa ya kwa Abrahamu,+ kabili alefiita amashina ayo wishi afiinike.+

19 Ilyo ababomfi ba kwa Isaki baleimba icishima mu mupokapoka, basangile amenshi ayasuma. 20 E lyo bakacema ba mu Gerari batendeke ukuumana na bakacema ba kwa Isaki, abati: “Menshi yesu!” E ico ainike cilya icishima ati Eseke,* pantu balyumene nankwe. 21 Awe batampile ukwimba icishima cimbi, na co cine balyumaninepo. E ico aciinike ati Sitina.* 22 Ilyo afumine palya aileimba icishima cimbi, lelo ici cena tabaumaninepo. E ico aciinike ati Rehobote* kabili atile: “Pantu nomba Yehova natupeela impanga iikalamba kabili nalenga twafula muli ici calo.”+

23 Lyena afumine palya no kuya ku Beere-sheba.+ 24 Mu nshita ya bushiku Yehova amoneke kuli ena no kumweba ati: “Nine Lesa wa kwa wiso Abrahamu.+ Witiina,+ pantu ine ndi nobe, nkakupaala kabili nkafusha abana* bobe pa mulandu wa kwa Abrahamu umubomfi wandi.”+ 25 E ico akuulile iciipailo pali ilya ncende kabili alumbenye ishina lya kwa Yehova+ no kutanikapo itenti,+ na babomfi ba kwa Isaki baimbilepo icishima.

26 Pa numa Abimeleke aishile kuli Isaki ukufuma ku Gerari pamo na Ahusati mpanda mano wakwe na Fikole umukalamba wa bashilika bakwe.+ 27 E lyo Isaki abepwishe ati: “Cinshi mwaishila kuli ine, pantu mwalimpatile kabili mwalintamfishe mu ncende yenu?” 28 Na bo ba-aswike abati: “Twalishininkisha ukuti Yehova aba na iwe.+ E ico twatile, ‘kuti cawama iwe na ifwe tulape umulapo no kupangana icipangano+ 29 ca kuti tawakacite icabipa nangu cimo kuli ifwe nge fyo na ifwe tushacitile icabipa kuli iwe, apo twakulekele waya umutende. Iwe nomba Yehova alikupaala.’” 30 Lyena abapekanishishe umutebeto kabili baliliile no kunwa. 31 Ubushiku bwakonkelepo babuukile lucelocelo kabili bonse balilapile umulapo.+ Pa numa Isaki alibalekele baya, kabili babwelelemo umutende.

32 Pali bulya bwine bushiku, ababomfi ba kwa Isaki baishile no kumweba pa cishima ico baimbile,+ abati: “Natusanga amenshi!” 33 E ico Isaki ainike icishima ati Shiba. E co betila ulya musumba ukuti Beere-sheba+ ukushinta na lelo.

34 Ilyo Esau ali ne myaka 40, aupile Yuditi umwana mwanakashi wa kwa Beeri umwina Hiti na Basemati umwana mwanakashi wa kwa Elone umwina Hiti.+ 35 Aba balelenga Isaki na Rebeka baleba no bulanda sana.*+
